Beizhuang's fire was suddenly ignited, and Master Qin didn't have time to think about who would do it. Seeing that the door of the study was burned and the fire had not yet been extinguished, he could only be anxious in place. The air could still smell the pungent smell of burning, choking smoke billowing over Bezhuang, and as soon as you looked up in Xinghai City, you could see the smoke rising from the mountainside.

"Master, why did it suddenly catch fire?" Yu Shi couldn't stay when he heard that the study was on fire, although the study was just a simple decoration, and Master Qin didn't go often, after all, she was taking care of the entire village. Before I even walked in, I was stopped by the heat wave of the shop.

Seeing the maid helping Yu to come to his side with a bloodless face, a sudden irritability suddenly arose in his heart: "You go back and lie down, the fire has not been extinguished, don't have any accidents." ”

Seeing that the fire was getting stronger, he couldn't help but scold the servant and move faster. However, the water in the pool is still a little far from the study. The fire was too fierce, and people didn't dare to get too close with wooden barrels.

When the fire was completely extinguished, the beams of the house had collapsed a few times, and the tables and book shelves in the room had been burned black and shapeless.

"Master Qin, I can understand your heart, but it's still very dangerous inside. Let me go in and check it out. ”

Where is Master Qin willing, and the study has not been completely burned to the point that there is no trace. Let people take a closer look to know what's inside. Earl Yuanwu waved his hand to let the officials get out of the way, and he was the first to go in. Master Qin's heart jumped when he saw his back, the fire happened inexplicably, and the earl's behavior made him even more incomprehensible. If he had discovered something, he would have done it a long time ago.

The fire was extinguished, and the study was completely destroyed, leaving only a few fragile frames. Earl Yuanwu took a look at the study, and according to the traces left, it was indeed very simple, a table with a few chairs, a few vase ornaments, and calligraphy and paintings burned on the wall. Since everything is burned and it's just ordinary things, then ...... What is Master Qin nervous about?

The study is very small, and you can see it in two eyes. Old Master Qin was so anxious that a cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Earl Yuanwu, thank you for your help." Now that the fire is out, I don't dare to bother more. The grass people are now going to reorganize the village. ”

The meaning of sending off the guest is obvious, how can Earl Yuanwu be a foolish person: "Someone set fire under my nose, bold, I will definitely find out the truth." With that, he carefully examined every burned thing in the study, intending to find out the cause of the fire.

Master Qin had already slashed him with a thousand knives in his heart, but he didn't dare to mess around, and an important official had an accident in his other village. He couldn't escape the blame, and the whole family had to follow suit: "Yes, yes, yes, why don't you have lunch first?" ”

"Master Qin...... Now the priority is to find the arsonist, "the more you try to get him away, the more problematic it becomes."

"Sir! The arsonist has been caught! The people outside the door shouted to report, and Master Qin hesitated to go out, and Count Yuanwu saw his concerns. Give your entourage a look and go out first.

Master Qin followed closely behind, and when he saw that the person kneeling outside was actually from Qin's mansion. Angry, he rushed forward and kicked the man to the ground.

"Good! If you don't escort your wife back to your home, you dare to wantonly set fire here! Tell me honestly if she instructed you. ”

Yu Shi was so shocked that he took a few steps back, covering his mouth in disbelief with a handkerchief: "I have already promised my wife that I will not go back to the house to disturb her, why do I still do this." ”

"Take them down and lock them up first, and I'll take them back to the yafu for interrogation in a while." After Earl Yuanwu finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the study. He faced his entourage with a serious look and something in his hand.

The attendant handed the things to Count Yuanwu and whispered a few words. He was shocked and horrified, and ordered him to guard the door and not let anyone enter.

The roof of the study was couched, and the tiles were scattered to cover the corners. The dark compartment on the side of the corner of the wall has been opened, and the inside is intact and has not been burned for a long time.

It is neatly arranged, and each income and whereabouts of private salt are clearly recorded in chronological order, as well as the correspondence with Liu Chuan. Further down the page is a box full of gold and silver jewelry.

Earl Yuanwu instantly understood why Master Qin was so flustered, and why Liu Chuan avoided him and put pressure on Li County. Put away the account books of these important letters, and said in a deep voice: "Arrest Master Qin and bring him back to the county office, and send someone to Bezhuang to guard and not allow anyone to enter or leave." ”

Master Qin followed into the study and heard these words, his soul was sucked away, and he fell to the ground.

It's all over.

Several important people in Xinghai City were secretly monitored by Liang Zhiyi's subordinates, including Liu Chuan. How the salt works should operate is controlled by Liang Zhiyi.

When Liu Chuan first came to Xinghai City two years ago, he was still wary of the county order, but when he thought of the benefits given by King Yu before leaving the capital, and Liang Zhiyi's support, he didn't take the county order Li seriously.

A few days ago, Liang Zhiyi disappeared, and the secret guard sensed that something was wrong, so he went to the county government to find out the news with other secret guards. Before he could enter Li Suiqing's study, he was repelled by another force.

This secret guard knew that the situation was not right, and there was a poison in Li Niannian's body that restrained Li Xianling to help them do things. Now that it has been beaten back by other forces, it means that Li Xianling has been out of their control. An idea came out of my heart, and I went to the cave in the barren forest to see that Li Niannian had indeed been sent away.

When Liu Chuan knew that someone was keeping Li County's order and someone was secretly intertwined, he guessed that the matter of the official salt and official taxes had been revealed. didn't care about any high-ranking officials and celebrities, packed up the gold, silver, jewelry and silver tickets and wanted to escape from Xinghai City overnight.

In the dark room, the letters exchanged for two and a half years were burned indiscriminately, and they were controlled by Count Yuanwu. Liu Chuan resigned himself to his fate, closed his eyes, and was imprisoned and returned to the county office.

The letters exchanged were almost burned, and it was only roughly understood from the fragments that someone was controlling the operation of the entire Xinghai City through Liu Chuan, as well as a list and account books involved in the sale of illicit salt.

At the same time, the secret guards left by Liang Zhiyi tried to find an opportunity to murder Count Yuanwu, but they were seriously injured by other forces. There was no choice but to withdraw from Xinghai City first.

When Liang Zhiyi returned to Xinghai City with an injury overnight, the general situation was decided. Liu Chuan and Master Qin were separated and detained, and they were heavily guarded on the surface, but in fact, these were dark forces with advanced martial arts. Liang Zhiyi wasn't sure if there were still other people in ambush around him to arrest him, so he didn't dare to rush to see these two. Looking for a time to go out of the city, go to the direction of the capital.

The next day, there were officials running around every street with knives, and every street and alley. There were cries and begging for mercy from five or six mansions, all of whom were wealthy people in Xinghai City.

The movement became louder, and the gossip naturally increased, and they all guessed that the few big families led by the Qin family must have done too much evil and were discovered by the people above, so they were raided.

"I can clean up these tumors, thank you Earl Yuanwu for your help this time." Li Suiqing's last wish has been discussed, he was originally a Qing official, but he was threatened by his life, and he was weak and unable to fight against these people.

Since Tao Tao's accident to the current matter of the quick investigation of Guan Yan, I also know that he is a person after getting along with Li County Ling, and I also appreciate his style of acting: "The stakes are very important at this time, and it is inconvenient for me to stay in Xinghai City for more." You'll have to take care of the rest of the chores. ”

"Don't worry, go all the way back...... Be careful. ”

Earl Yuanwu nodded when he heard the deep meaning in his words.

The two saluted each other, and Count Yuanwu turned over and got on his horse, followed by two prison cars to the official road in the capital.

After a team of people walked away, Li Suiqing turned around and returned to the city, and there were still distinguished guests waiting in the house.

The matter of Xinghai City has finally come to an end, and for half a month, it has all relied on Nanzhi and Liu Wu, Yu Yi and Roin Xiang secretly investigated Liang Zhiyi's forces and the specific location of the secret letter account book before they dared to do it.

There are three caves in the cunning rabbit, and Liang Zhiyi also made information about the holidays in several places, and finally Nanzhi used clever tricks to pit Liang Zhiyi several times before locking the last place.

As for...... The fire in the study of Earl Yuanwu and Beizhuang was deliberately done by Su Xiangsi. Just let Li Suiqing reveal some information so that Earl Yuanwu can continue to investigate thoroughly.

Li Suiqing entered the study and knelt down in front of Su Xiangsi and Mu Jinchen: "Thank you to the benefactor for saving Nian Nian and everyone in Xinghai City." ”

"Li County Order, you are still an elder, I can't afford this ceremony, if you don't get up, I will leave directly." Su Xiangsi thought silently in his heart, this is to lose his life!

Li Xian Ling didn't squirm, got up and sat down to the side.

"The dust is settled, and we won't stay long. I'll leave a few people behind each other in secret, and these people will certainly not give up. "Su Xiangsi doesn't have much time to stay, and Count Yuanwu won't be peaceful all the way back, and when he returns to the capital, he will be under the nose of King Yu, and he can't let him have an accident.

Li County Ling knew that there were still many things to deal with after the salt tax case broke out, so he asked Su Xiangsi some questions and asked Li Niannian about the situation before he was sent out of Xinghai City.

Xinghai City, it's just a day, and I feel like there's something missing.
