In the hall, Wang Xiancheng was arguing with Lu Tingxiu, "Lord Lu, please listen to what the lower official said, Wu Tongxing must not move, otherwise you will be in a big disaster." ”

Sleepless all night, Lu Tingxiu buried his head in the mountains of files, without even raising his head, "Lord County, you are wearing a black gauze hat from the imperial court on your head, why do you repeatedly help Wu Tongxing speak?" ”

"It is precisely for the sake of you, my lord, that Xia Guan dares to say such heartfelt words."

Lu Tingting raised his head at this time, "This official is willing to listen to you." ”

"Lord Lu, you have just arrived, and many situations are not very clear." Seeing him thoughtful, Wang Xiancheng couldn't help but be secretly happy, pretending to be full of panic, "Wu Tongxing Yuroulin County for many years, many magistrates have posted to the Liangzhou government to ask for support, but they are sinking into the sea, do you know why?" ”

"Please also ask Wang Xiancheng to make it clear." Lu Ting's repair was confused.

"Liangzhou is a hereditary local official, they rely on the protection of their ancestors, and their official ranks are bigger than the other, they don't care about the affairs of the court, they only care about their own pockets, and Wu thieves are inextricably linked to them. Now, my lord, if you cut off people's food and clothing, will Liangzhou let you go? ”

Lu Tingxiu suddenly realized.

Wang Cheng County is secretly thin, scholars all have the same stinky problem, they don't love money, but they are quite concerned about political achievements and the black gauze hat on their heads, so they took the opportunity to press, "My lord, the so-called official is a big one to crush people, Lin County is high and the emperor is far away, if you want to make achievements in Lin County, you really shouldn't offend Liangzhou." ”

Lu Tingxiu was quite embarrassed, and said worriedly: "According to Lord Wang's opinion, how should this official deal with it?" ”

"Xia Guan thinks that if the person is not caught, he will be arrested, just go through the motions, and it is better to let it go as soon as possible."

Lu Tingxiu nodded again and again, "What Lord Wang said is reasonable, let this official think about it." ”

Wei Shi has arrived, and Wang Xiancheng has taken his leave.

Seeing Xu Mingliang and Xia Qiu standing by the door, Wang Xiancheng glanced at him with disdain, and suddenly waved his sleeves and left, "Hmph! ”

"Dog stuff." Xu Mingliang scolded him behind his back: "Last night, he went to the cell to see Wu Tongxing, and came over early in the morning to threaten Lord Lu, he must have been instructed. ”

Xia Qiu didn't speak, and her eyes grew cold.

stayed up all night, Lu Tingxiu was hungry and sleepy, but Xia Chubby had not destroyed human nature. After eating breakfast and taking a hot bath, Lu Tingxiu loosened his muscles and bones and lay down with his clothes.

Xu Mingliang pulled Xia Qiu to the courtyard and said worriedly: "Sister Xia, do you think Lord Lu will give in?" ”

"Don't think about it, if he is timid, he will not make a move."

"But ......" Xu Mingliang still felt uneasy, "Wang Xiancheng is right, wealth can lead to the sky, and a large part of the black money earned by Wu Tongxing is used to maintain the relationship in Liangzhou." Those local officials eat people and don't spit out bones, and if they find a reason, adults may not be able to save their lives. ”

"People go to tea and cool, and trees are scattered." Xia Qiu's expression was indifferent, "If everyone is gone, will those people in Liangzhou still protect the Wu family?" ”

Xu Mingliang was shocked, didn't say a word, turned his head and left.

After waking up from sleep, Lu Tingxiu continued to read the dossier and reasoned about it, Xia Qiu had no intention of leaving, but sat silently on the side in a daze.

"What are you thinking?" Like a fairy.

Xia Qiu raised his cheeks and said distressedly: "Wang County is greedy by nature, and when he sees wealth, he is the only one who obeys him. You say, he has been an official for decades, where did he put all the money he made? ”

Lu Tingxiu was speechless and rolled his eyes.

"I just listened to a gossip in the soap room." Xia Qiu suddenly approached Lu Tingxiu and smiled mysteriously, "The manager of the Kuban room is Wang Xiancheng's brother-in-law, this person has always been silent and doesn't like to interact with people, who knows that not long ago, I drank with my colleagues in the soap room, and after drinking, he lost his words and said that the fire oil and iron in the warehouse are wrong, and the accounts are wrong......

Lu Tingxiu's face couldn't help but sink.

Xia Qiu was tricky, "Do you know where those things have gone?" ”

"Where have they gone?" Lu Tingxiu asked according to her wishes.

"Under the utility room of the Cheng family in Wang County." Xia Qiu covered his mouth and smiled, and said in a low voice: "I heard that he dug a secret room under the utility room to store fire oil and ironware. ”

Lu Tingxiu picked up the file and beckoned directly to Xia Qiu's head, "You are a cook, you are like a long-tongued woman all day long, you usually have a broken mouth, don't you dare to arrange officials?" ”

Xia Qiu touched the head that was hurt by the beating, and said speechlessly: "Why are you beating me, I also heard from others." ”

Lu Tingxiu scolded: "Spread rumors again, believe it or not, I pulled out your tongue?" ”

"Believe it or not?" Xia Qiu was annoyed and stamped away.

Lu Ting's face was like frost, his slender knuckles were rubbing his temples that were suddenly twitching, and his mood was extremely bad.

A quarter of an hour later, a soap servant quietly appeared, "Lord Lu, I don't know what you are calling for a humble position?" ”

Lu Tingxiu stared at him, "Are you drunk and talking nonsense?" ”

The soap servant was stunned, "Humble duty has always been a drop of wine." ”

Lu Tingxiu narrowed his narrow Danfeng eyes, "What the official asked you to investigate secretly, did you say anything?" ”

The soap servant hurriedly saluted, "I was cautious in my humble duties, and I never missed a word." ”

Lu Tingxiu was suspicious, he was a cautious person, and this matter was so confidential, how did Xia Fatpang know?

"Did you find any clues?"

The soap servant looked embarrassed, "I have secretly searched the Wang family, and I have not found anything suspicious for the time being, but I firmly believe that the thing must be in the Wang family, and I ask the adults to give me more time." ”

Lu Tingxiu hesitated for a moment, "The Wang family's utility room, you pay more attention, maybe you will have a harvest." ”

Xia Chubby, he wants to see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd!

Actually, it's really not Xia Qiu's trickery, she just told him the shortcut, so that he could save time and avoid detours. In his previous life, Wang Xiancheng abused his power and took charge of personal gain, which did cause a lot of trouble to Lu Tingxiu.

However, the so-called treasury steward and soap servant who spit out the truth after drinking are purely made up by Xia and Qiu, who knows that they have been accidentally bumped into.

And Lu Tingxiu's style has always been immovable, and his movements are amazing.

Xia Qiu remembered that in his previous life, he wasted a lot of time in order to collect Wang Xiancheng's crimes, and even committed himself to find Master Yang.

Master Yang and Wang Xiancheng are mortal enemies, and in order to defeat their opponents, they secretly collect evidence, but this does not mean that he is willing to share it with Lu Tingxiu. He knew very well that once Wang Xiancheng fell, Lu Tingxiu would be the next person to deal with.

Unless, become a family.

What Xia Qiu is afraid of is the family.

Since Yang Juan'er came out of that file, it can be said that she has a bad reputation, even if she is willing to commit herself to marrying, but those with a slightly better family background are not willing to marry at all. married her to a mud-legged man to suffer, and Master Yang was reluctant.

Mrs. Zhixian is the main room, and Master Yang definitely doesn't dare to count on it, but it's still okay to be an aunt.

Of course, Xia Qiu would not let the Yang family have this opportunity, and only after weighing it did he did in his previous life did he turn around and remind him in this life.
