Chapter 71: Inexplicable hostility

With He Zhixian's order, the servants searched the entire warehouse.

The man who brought Chu Qiguang in was in a cold sweat, and he looked at them in a panic.

But the imaginary scene of Chu Qiguang being captured did not appear, and no matter how the officers searched, they could not find any trace of Chu Qiguang.

He Zhixian squinted his eyes slightly when he looked at this scene, he walked to the bookshelf, his eyes swept over a book, and finally landed on a particularly clean book with no dust.

Pulling out the book, He Zhixian looked at the contents and muttered, "Yong'an 2 years?"

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he didn't understand why the people who came to check the policy changes in Qingyang County this year, it was more than ten years ago, and even the book in his hand was re-copied.

He turned his head to look at the man who came in with Chu Qiguang on the side, and asked in a cold voice, "Who came to see this canon? Did he say why he wanted to read it?"

......

In the back alley of the county office, Chu Qiguang climbed down from the wall, and sighed in his heart: "Fortunately, Qiao Zhi, you are guarding outside, otherwise you will be caught in the urn today." ”

It turned out that Qiao Zhi was guarding outside before, and after seeing the magistrate and the county leading people to the warehouse, he called a few cat meows outside, reminding Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang heard this Qiao Zhi's meow, so he slipped out of the vent before the magistrate arrived.

Qiao Zhi was puzzled: "But how can this know how the county would bring people to the treasury? This is too coincidental, right? Is someone betraying us?"

Chu Qiguang said lightly: "Maybe." ”

As he spoke, Chu Qiguang had already seen Hao Fulai, the housekeeper Hao, who was still waiting at the back door and kept looking into the yamen.

Seeing Chu Qiguang appear safe and sound, a hint of surprise appeared in Hao Fulai's eyes, but he quickly suppressed the surprise, nodded and said coldly: "It's okay, remember to come to Hao's house tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only Chu Qiguang with an arrogant back.

Qiao Zhi, who was hiding on the edge of the wall, said angrily: "! Is it just this guy who betrayed us?!"

"Kittens, don't swear. Chu Qiguang said lightly: "Whether it is or not, it is just speculation now." ”

Qiao Zhi said angrily: "What evidence do you want! This hanged man is not a good person at first glance, and he looks like a yin and yang all day long, so he almost wrote the word bad guy on his head! Let's kill him quickly!"

Looking at Qiao Zhi, who was eager to kill the other party immediately, Chu Qiguang said helplessly: "You are too anxious, how can anyone kill people on the street, and we are not bad guys." ”

......

After returning to the small courtyard where he lived with the sulking Qiao Zhi, Chu Qiguang came to the desk, recalling in his mind the money and grain account books he had seen these days and the contents of the guild book he had just read.

Then he picked up the brush...... With a wave of his hand, he began to write......

After a cup of tea, Chu Qiguang looked at the crooked and unsightly rows of typesetting on the paper, and said helplessly: "If this word is seen, it will be too impressive." I'm afraid that if I haven't read the content, I will look down on three points. ”

But this kind of thing is not easy for Chu Qiguang, who told him that he has never practiced in his previous life, and the second dog in this life has never touched a brush.

If you want to practice good handwriting, you will have to spend at least a year or two of hard work to meet people. ’

"Forget it, let's talk to the Hao family directly tomorrow." ’

Next, Chu Qiguang didn't care about the ugly words, and continued to write down the memories and thoughts in his mind one by one, and then kept adjusting them, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"That's no problem, and the Ding family's ......"

Chu Qiguang has never forgotten that he still has a 'father-killing enemy' Ding Daoxiao to solve.

At this moment, he recalled the accounts related to the Ding family in his mind, and the Ding family's business tax was only 75 taels of silver a year, which was far lower than the scale of their business.

"According to the information they probed on the street, the Ding family has a large-scale caravan to help them deliver goods to all parts of Lingzhou, and the business is very large. ”

"However, this kind of thing is evading commercial taxes, and some wealthy families on the official face can do it, and all the big men are evading commercial taxes, which is not a trick. ”

Chu Qiguang sighed, knowing that he could only find another way to deal with Ding Daoxiao.

Late at night, Qiao Zhi came back from a walk outside, and said to Chu Qiguang: "I asked the big head, today they have been taking turns to change dogs and follow the housekeeper Hao Fulai, and they didn't find anything suspicious." ”

Chu Qiguang frowned: "Keep staring, there must be something wrong with this Steward Hao...... not only stared at him, but also stared at his wife, children, and relatives. ”

......

The next night, Chu Qiguang was invited to Hao's house by Hao Fulai again, and as soon as he entered the living room, he saw that in addition to Hao Wen, Hao Yongtai and his son, there was also Ding Daoxiao.

Hao Yongtai introduced: "Brother Chu, you also know Brother Ding, he came to discuss the matter of the field with us today. ”

"Are you ......?" Ding Daoxiao was stunned and said confusedly: "...... New students in the library?"

Hao Yongtai introduced: "This is Chu Qiguang, the fox demon who killed Yongnian before, he found it. ”

"Oh. Ding Daoxiao nodded and didn't say anything.

Hao Wen asked, "Chu Qiguang, you should have seen it yesterday, but did you come up with any way?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Naturally, there is a way, and the kung fu is on the demon salary collected every year in that county......

Before Chu Qiguang could speak, Ding Daoxiao interrupted directly, looked at Hao Yongtai and Hao Wen with a puzzled expression, and said, "We are going to talk to this Chu ...... now Chu ......"

Hao Yongtai said: "Chu Qiguang. ”

Ding Daoxiao said: "Let's talk to this person about the county magistrate? Are you sure he is reliable?"

He looked at Chu Qiguang with a suspicious expression: "What if he was sent by the magistrate? If you believe him, wouldn't you fall for the trick?"

Hao Fulai on the side also said: "I heard that this Chu Qiguang entered the county treasury not long ago, so how do you know that the county is here, and he has been in the treasury for almost a stick of incense, and I don't know if he has said anything to this Chu Qiguang." ”

Hao Wen was surprised: "Chu Qiguang, is there such a thing?"

"The magistrate is indeed here. In the face of such a rough instigation from the housekeeper, Chu Qi didn't even look at him, but said calmly: "But I took a step first to avoid him, and I didn't meet." ”

Hao Fulai said in a strange manner: "One side of the word." ”

"The officials present in this matter can all testify, how can it be one-sided? But Steward Hao, you don't seem to want me to come up with an idea for Hao Daguan?" Without giving Hao Fulai a chance to refute, Chu Qiguang then smiled and said, "Why don't you listen to my method first?"

Hao Wen glanced at his housekeeper, but still looked at Ding Daoxiao on the side and asked, "What do you think of Ding Xian's nephew?"

After all, the Hao family no longer has a living Jinshi high-ranking official, and he still bowed his head in the face of the Ding family, who still has an old lady alive.

Ding Daoxiao nodded and said: "Then let's talk about it, but I said ugly things in front, this time the matter of measuring land is not trivial, but the imperial court wants to implement a national policy, and Wu Ge Lao is probably not very easy to interfere." And He Zhixian is at least a high-ranking official of the Six Ministries and Jiuqing behind him, and if he is not careful, it may be a big disaster. ”

After speaking, Ding Daoxiao's oppressive gaze swept at Chu Qiguang, and the qi and blood in his body were even more surging.

Accompanied by the sound of blood flowing, the unique spiritual power of the Four Realms martial artists continued to squeeze towards Chu Qiguang in front of him, and it seemed that if Chu Qiguang moved slightly, he would drop a thunderous blow.

This is directly based on the absolute physical strength gap between the Four Realms martial artists and Chu Qiguang, and ordinary people are afraid that they will be oppressed if they are not careful, as if they have encountered a tiger in the wild, and they stammered and couldn't even speak clearly.

Feeling the unscrupulous coercion of the other party, Chu Qiguang frowned slightly, and felt that his body and spirit seemed to be slightly sluggish under the pressure of this mind.

Ding Daoxiao said word for word: "The stakes are very high, and if there is a trace of inappropriateness in Chu Qiguang's words in the future, he can't be allowed to come in again." ”
