"Humph! As the saying goes, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, how many years have you stayed in the buried building and don't ask about the world, it is easy to be deceived by Cao An with rhetoric! Li Changlin stared at Duan Pingsheng and said coldly, "I don't know how many black money Cao An has handled over the years!" ”

Facing Li Changlin's gaze, Duan Pingsheng smiled: "The general said that Cao An handled the black money, isn't it hearsay?" Why did this king find out that during Cao An's tenure, he was always conscientious and conscientious and stuck to the city gate. As for involving the interests of a certain party, General Cao also complained to this king, because he was forced to be helpless! ”

"Forced to be helpless? Can you say that? ”

Li Changlin snorted coldly, and Duan Pingsheng responded lightly: "Heh, the general advocates that Cao An be taken down at a price, and he can't say that he is corrupt and derelict in his duties, so he casually took off the official hat of the imperial court to canonize the general, right?" Always come up with some evidence and put it on the table, so that Lord Assassin Shi Nie can judge what kind of crime Cao An should be guilty of! ”

As soon as Duan Pingsheng's words fell, Li Changlin snorted angrily: "You want evidence? Is it true that I don't have it anymore? ”

After speaking, Li Changlin clapped his hands violently, and an entourage who had been outside the lobby walked in earlier, Duan Pingsheng and Nie Fengdi looked at this person, although he was wearing a cloth robe, but his face was rough, his palms were broad, his physique was strong, and his waist was straight.

Xicheng guards, Cao An guards!

Duan Pingsheng's eyebrows raised, feeling that Li Changlin was really prepared, while Nie Fengdi looked inexplicable and asked, "The guards of Cao An, the guard of the Western City, what do you have to do?" ”

The guard faced the leading figure of Youzhou sitting in the hall, but he did not show the slightest timidity, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Bing, the villain has served under Cao An for many years, and I have seen him take advantage of his position to open the forbidden door at night and convey property to certain interest groups, resulting in a lot of financial losses in Youzhou. ”

"Oh?" Nie Fengdi's expression remained unchanged, put down the name card that the guard had handed over earlier, and asked again, "There is no evidence, this official can't convict the military generals canonized by the imperial court just based on your words, since you said that General Cao was corrupt and derelict in his duties, can there be evidence?" ”

The guard immediately replied: "Lord Bing, what the villain said is true, since he found out that Cao An was using power for personal gain, he began to secretly record the time of opening the forbidden door every night, as well as the number of goods, and at the same time, the villain also knew that these goods were all dispatched by the Guangjin Gambling House, and the secret ledger should be kept in the gambling house to corroborate each other, which can verify whether what the villain said is true or false!" ”

Well?

Hearing this, Duan Pingsheng's brows furrowed slightly, Cao An swore to him before, when he helped the Lu family to convey benefits, his hands and feet were extremely clean, why did the problem lie with the people around him? And it's so serious?

Others may not know, but Duan Pingsheng, who personally destroyed the Guangjin Gambling House, knows very well that there is indeed such an account book in the Guangjin Gambling House, which records the clear entries of each benefit transfer.

But few people know about this kind of thing, but now a little guard said it! Thinking about it, this should be the means of Youzhou General Li Changlin, either he planted a nail in the Guangjin Gambling House before, or he heard the relevant news about the raid of the Guangjin Gambling House.

But well......

Duan Pingsheng snorted coldly and asked, "Having said so much, it's not empty words!" You say you made secret records? Okay, let's find out the account books of Guangjin Casino first and prove that your records are true! ”

The guard opened his mouth and was about to shake his head, but Li Changlin next to him suddenly interjected: "The Guangjin Gambling House was previously sealed by Master Gu himself, and all the accounts were sealed in the yamen, how could he be contacted by a small guard?" ”

"Heh, a little guard can know that Guangjin Gambling House has an account book, and this king sees that his ability is not much worse!"

Duan Pingsheng leaned on the back of the chair and said lukewarmly, Li Changlin's eyes narrowed, but he knew that it was meaningless to be angry with Duan Pingsheng, so he suddenly looked at Nie Fengdi, who was sitting in the main seat: "My lord, I would like to recommend checking the sealed accounts of the Guangjin Gambling House first, so that we can confirm whether this guard's confession is true or false!" ”

However, Nie Fengdi did not act immediately because of Li Changlin's words, and showed hesitation, as if he did not want to follow Li Changlin's wishes.

And Li Changlin had already inquired that Duan Pingsheng had given the dragon hunter Qianli as a congratulatory gift to the cold-faced judge some time ago, worried that he would completely fall to Duan Pingsheng's side, so he immediately spoke strongly and put pressure: "My lord, Cao An's position is extremely important, if he can use his power for personal gain for silver, then he is likely to accept bribes from foreign races for silver in the future, such a heinous national tumor should be eradicated earlier!" ”

Li Changlin's words directly deducted a dirty black pot on Cao An's head, once he sat down, he couldn't run away from all over the house!

"The general's words are too alarmist, right? During Cao An's tenure, he did make mistakes because of certain factors, but who can be without fault? If there is no change, it will be encouraged, give Cao An a few verbal warnings, and punish him for one year. ”

Duan Pingsheng smiled slightly, and said loudly, Li Changlin stared at his face fiercely, his eyes were shining: "Say it lightly!" A one-year fine? Hmph, with the stolen money he has earned over the years, a year's worth of money is completely painless, and he must be held accountable immediately, and he will be beheaded at noon! ”

Duan Pingsheng waved his hand slightly, and said lightly: "If you have something to say, don't be so excited, whether Cao An is a heinous crime or not, has not yet been clarified, and convicting him now can only reveal the general's purpose, which is really too conspicuous!" ”

"Humph! Still need to check? Isn't the evidence all clear? As long as you get the account book and compare it, you can completely confirm Cao An's crime. ”

Li Changlin was a little annoyed by Duan Pingsheng's stubborn confrontation, and the spies he planted in the Guangjin Gambling House clearly told him about the existence of the account book, originally, Li Changlin did not need to find Cao An's guards to testify, but during his trip to Youzhou, the Guangjin Gambling House was suddenly seized, and those who had access to the core secrets of the Guangjin Gambling House were also wiped out by Lu Sansi with strong and ruthless means.

Therefore, when he returned to Youzhou, in order to take Cao An logically, he could only do the work of Cao An's guards with great difficulty, so he sat in the Assassin's Mansion and negotiated with Nie Fengdi about Cao An's disposition.

Li Changlin is very confident in this, because he feels that as long as he finds the account book, it will definitely be a sure thing, and with the evidence of Cao An's guards, taking Cao An is tantamount to a certainty.

However, Nie Fengdi suddenly said, "General Li, this matter may be a little inconvenient. ”

Li Changlin suddenly stood up from his seat and vented his anger: "What's the inconvenience in opening the seal and checking the accounts?" ”

Li Changlin is a master of refining the body of the Seven-Story Building, and his control of momentum is particularly exquisite, a powerful momentum that rushes to his face makes it difficult for him to breathe, and as for the Cao An guard who is closer to Li Changlin, he retreats again and again, and he can only stop.

At this moment, Nie Fengdi, who was also a seven-story building, raised his hand lightly and forcibly suppressed Li Changlin's momentum, and his cold face showed a gloomy look: "General Li, don't be anxious, there are some things that you don't know, and listen to the official carefully." ”

Li Changlin unloaded his momentum, but did not sit back in his place, and snorted coldly: "Listen to me!" ”

"When the Guangjin gambling house was seized, there was indeed a number of accounts sealed in the government office, because stabilizing the disaster situation at that time was the primary task of Lord Gu, so he only pulled down a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and did not continue to investigate the matter in depth, but handed it over to the successor of the official for detailed investigation."

Nie Fengdi looked at Li Changlin, and said in an indifferent voice: "Since the first day of his official succession, this official has begun to check the remaining files in the Assassin's Mansion, and the case of Guangjin Gambling House is naturally the top priority. ”

"What?"

Li Changlin suddenly took a step forward, and with an imposing wall, his face was full of disbelief: "This is impossible!" Guangjin Gambling House is the operation hub of the Lu family, if there is no account book to keep clear accounts, there is absolutely no way to operate smoothly, even if they will destroy the accounts regularly, but the raid of Guangjin Gambling House is as fast as thunder, and there is no time to sell stolen goods at all! ”

"Definitely!" Nie Fengdi shook his head lightly, "Let's think that the account book does exist, but the fact is that there is no relevant record of the accounts sealed from the Guangjin Gambling House!" Moreover, the action of seizing the Guangjin Gambling House was not as perfect as General Li said, although the Guangjin Gambling House was all arrested, but the second shopkeeper Bao Jie was not heard from! ”

"Isn't Bojie dead?"

Li Changlin's eyes widened angrily, and in the death list of Guangjin Casino that he came into contact with, the top two were Bao Xin and Bao Jie.

"General Li should know that Lord Gu's energy at that time could not be disturbed by trivial matters at all, and in addition, he also had to take care of Lord Lu's mood, so the missing person was also counted as death!"

Nie Fengdi said expressionlessly, to say that his mood at this time is definitely not much better than Li Changlin, because this is the first time that he has been hindered by his position as a new official, and there is no way to trace the clear problems clearly.

Due to Lu Sansi's sensitive identity, this case did not even dare to explicitly explain that it was done by the Lu family, so Gu Hao chose to make concessions at that time, but it also made Nie Fengdi even more unable to overturn his predecessor's decision.

The two mountains that had already gone to another country still pressed Nie Fengdi to stand on the opposite side of Li Changlin, which really made him unhappy.

And in the middle of the scene, the only one who smiled was naturally Duan Pingsheng.

When he heard that Li Changlin's chip was the ledger, he almost didn't laugh out loud!

Because of this ledger, Bao Jie, the second shopkeeper who intended to abscond, was secretly taken out of the Guangjin gambling house, and then he was blocked by Duan Pingsheng. Duan Pingsheng did not take Bao Jie down, chose to let him live, and at the same time gave him 10,000 taels of silver, intending to lay a front stop for Duan Pingsheng's forces somewhere in the Central Plains. And Bao Jie also handed over the burden of storing the ledger to Duan Pingsheng, and then turned into ashes as soon as he turned around.

Lu Sansi's handle could not be left, and Duan Pingsheng had no time to go to Songzhou to blackmail him again.

Who knew that this matter was almost forgotten by Duan Pingsheng, but now it was hooked up by Li Changlin, and the result was of course as Duan Pingsheng expected, wanting to find the account book? Inexistent!

Li Changlin stood in place with a complicated expression, although he had also considered in advance that there might be problems with the account book, he didn't expect that Nie Fengdi's attitude would be so tough! In fact, whether Cao An can get off the horse or not depends entirely on the attitude of the current Youzhou Assassin, and Li Changlin also wants to take this opportunity to draw Nie Fengdi into the camp of An Dajiedu's envoy.

It's just that today's formal negotiations, both the process and the ending, made Li Changlin very dissatisfied, but he couldn't do anything about Nie Fengdi's attitude, if he really used force to fight, it wasn't necessarily who won and who lost!

However, Li Changlin was still a little reluctant to give up: "Lord Nie, even if the account book does not exist, this matter must be discussed in detail, after all, there is already a human witness, and the case can always be opened for investigation, right?" ”

Nie Fengdi did not immediately reject Li Changlin's idea, and sat in place expressionlessly. Duan Pingsheng, on the other hand, took advantage of Li Changlin's attention not being on him at all, and suddenly quietly glanced at Cao An's guards.

Immediately, the guard, who had just bowed his head and was silent, suddenly raised his head, his face showed a look of struggle, and then he fell to his knees suddenly, kowtowed to Nie Fengdi again and again, and begged for mercy: "Adult, the little one is guilty, the little one is guilty!" ”

Li Changlin's expression changed suddenly, he didn't know what this guy was doing, and Nie Fengdi immediately said: "What's the secret, come quickly!" ”

That Cao An guard only kowtowed, didn't see Li Changlin's eyes that wanted to kill, and said to himself: "My lord, I shouldn't accept benefits and make perjury with my conscience!" ”

"Fart!"

Li Changlin's eyes were like copper bells, as if an invisible fire erupted, under the pressure of his powerful momentum, Cao An was directly stunned by him before he finished the following words!

The corners of Duan Pingsheng's mouth showed a little smile, and Nie Fengdi said unhappily: "General Li, if there is anything, let him finish talking first!" ”

"Humph!" Li Changlin, who came back to his senses, glanced at Duan Pingsheng suddenly, "No need! Don't talk about it! ”

Duan Pingsheng knew that Li Changlin had seen through his use of soul dementorship and affected the mind of that Cao An guard, but with Nie Fengdi by his side, he was not worried that this Youzhou general would act violently.

Sure enough, after the anger, Li Changlin could only grit his teeth and look at Nie Fengdi: "My lord, since the account book has been lost and the witness is in a coma, Cao An's matter will be stopped, and I will leave first!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Changlin turned his head and left, and on the way, he didn't forget to put a foot on the unconscious Cao An guard, and kicked him out of the lobby directly.

Nie Fengdi was dissatisfied with his arrogant behavior, and at the same time, he was also displeased with Duan Pingsheng's small actions under his nose.

"King Wuyou, the dispute between you and General Li about Cao An has already come to an end, I don't know, what else do you have to discuss with this official?"
