The search in this area was Pan Xiancheng of the county government.

Li Zhuohang listened to the reply of the shopkeeper Yan, and hurriedly asked, "This surname Pan is the Pan Yue we befriended?" ”

The shopkeeper Yan said: "It's him." ”

Li Zhuohang recognized Pan Yue because of Yan Ji, the former county magistrate of Qinghua County. He and Yan Ji are close friends, and they have been friends since before Yan Ji.

During Yan Ji's tenure as the commander of Qinghua County, Li Zhuohang often came to Qinghua Mansion, one to inspect shops and traders, and the other to visit friends. Later, Yan Ji went to Zhenjiang Mansion to take up a job, and Li Zhuohang came less. Li Zhuohang also heard of Governor Liu's character, and he didn't want to deal with him, so he ordered the shopkeeper Yan to find Pan Yue when he was entertained by the official.

Pan Yue is in his twenties, and his father and ancestors have all worked as errands in the yamen: his grandfather was the head of the county government, and his father was a head catcher in the county government. Therefore, the Pan family has a wide range of people in Qinghua Mansion. Pan Yue is a righteous person, he has made friends from all walks of life and nine streams, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, and when Yan Ji left office, he entrusted him to take care of the Li family's business.

At that moment, Li Zhuohang greeted him in person, greeted Pan Yue on the one hand, and ordered the shopkeeper Yan on the other: "On a hot day, open a few watermelons first to quench the thirst of the officials; Prepare some white fungus mung bean soup and drink it when the officials finish checking it. ”

Shopkeeper Yan hurriedly agreed, and immediately ordered to go down.

Li Zhuohang took the opportunity to invite Pan Yue in to speak.

He wants to figure out: What kind of drama is Liu Zhifu singing!

After the emperor is gone, there will be changes in the court and officialdom, and this change is especially important to the prosperous and wealthy Jiangnan, and he can't help but guard against it.

In the hall, the two sat down.

Li Hanyao came in to serve tea and fruits, put down the melons and fruits, and she didn't leave, standing beside Li Zhuohang, to listen to the news.

Although Pan Yue worked in the Yamen, he treated Li Zhuohang differently. First, Shopkeeper Yan has really given him a lot of things over the years and treated him as a person; You must know that the Li family is not even very popular with the new Governor Liu. Second, he often heard Yan Ji say that Li Zhuohang is full of economy and is a character, not like an ordinary treacherous businessman; Moreover, the Li family is rich and has a wide range of official connections, so he is very willing to make friends.

At that moment, he clenched his fists and smiled: "Disturb Master Li." ”

Li Zhuohang smiled and said: "Brother Wei is on official business, how can he say that he is disturbing." ”

A "big brother" sounded very comfortable to Pan Yue.

Li Zhuohang said: "Thanks to Brother Wei's care over the years, the trumpet has been able to operate smoothly, and my brother is grateful." ”

Pan Yue said: "Where, I didn't take care of much." ”

After being polite for a while, Li Zhuohang asked him what was going on.

Pan Yue said: "It's not Young Master Liu...... yet"

He had a cousin who worked on an errand in the government and knew everything about it. At that moment, he made a long story short, and said that Young Master Liu and the Tan Dong family of Fengsheng Grain Store forcibly occupied the peach girl, but was trampled on by the woman.

"Governor Liu only has this one son, and now that this has happened, it is equivalent to the end, can you not be angry? No, all the people of the yamen have come out. ”

Wang Yan didn't tell Li Hanyao that he had trampled on Liu Gongzi's life. Li Hanyao listened to Pan Yue's words, admired the young lady very much, and took her as a confidant, thinking that the young lady was the same kind of person as herself, and if she was replaced by a delicate girl, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to cry about, let alone fight back against the thief.

It's just that she doesn't quite understand one thing: what is that lifeline, why is it that if she crushes Governor Liu's mansion, she will be killed?

She's a subordinate now, and it's hard to ask.

She thought, "I'll ask my sister when I get back." ”

Li Zhuohang thought secretly: "This is retribution." ”

said: "Since the prefect issued an order to search for it, we will obey all orders." I just hope that the old brother will tell them: when you turn over, your hands will be lighter. ”

Pan Yue smiled and said, "This is not a brother's order." ”

These officials are like wolves and tigers, often in the name of office affairs, when they enter private houses, they will take advantage of them, just like raiding their homes, who will they reason with afterwards? Li Zhuohang also knew their inferior nature, so he asked Pan Yue to take care of it.

Li Zhuohang took out a purse, handed it to Pan Yue, and said, "This little meaning, please take it and help them take it." ”

Pan Yue hurriedly said: "There is an old brother here, there is no need for these." ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Brother Wei has a lot of entertainment, how can I let you post it upside down?" Besides, thanks to the big brother, he should have been grateful. ”

Pan Yue shirked and accepted it.

He was afraid that people would say that he was negligent in his duties, so he estimated that the officials had also eaten watermelons, so he got up and said, "Brother, the eldest brother is presumptuous." ”

Li Zhuohang hurriedly said: "Lord Pan, please." ”

It was immediately renamed.

The two walked outside.

Li Hanyao hurriedly followed.

Pan Yue stood on the steps and ordered the servants to be brought: someone to check the front yard, someone to check the backyard, and as he was talking, suddenly two people came in outside, the former one was the shopkeeper of the abundant grain store, who walked straight towards him, clasping his fists and saluting.

Pan Yue asked, "What's the matter with the shopkeeper?" ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The little one has seen those two murderers, and the prefect specially ordered the villain to assist Pan County Cheng in the search, I am afraid that the uncles do not recognize people, and the murderers are cunning, so they have been mixed up." ”

Pan Yue was very displeased when he heard it: don't talk about it, he doesn't like others to insert his sphere of power, and he is not a public person.

Li Zhuohang just gave him a lot of face, and it was impossible for the Taiping Shop to harbor the murderer, so he planned to deal with it indiscriminately and leave. This surnamed Diao came and watched from the side, how could he be favoritism?

At that time, his face was not good-looking.

He couldn't resist Governor Liu's order, so he had to nod and say, "The shopkeeper should come." I heard that it was the shopkeeper who led the peach seller to the mansion. Liu Gongzi ended up like this, and the shopkeeper must not be comfortable. Then he said to the people, "Go and search it." It's all old neighborhoods, and it's a little lighter. ”

Everyone should be busy, scattered and separated.

The shopkeeper Diao came all the way, covered in sweat, his face was as red as Guan Gong, and when he heard Pan Yue's words, the sweat suddenly turned into cold sweat.

These words accuse him of being the culprit; Moreover, he tricked the woman who sold peaches to go to the government and pushed the good daughter of the family into the fire pit, using an unsightly method, and now he is told by Pan Yue, where is the face.

I saw Li Zhuohang standing aside, with an extraordinary bearing, but the shopkeeper Yan didn't introduce him at all. He had long heard that the owner behind this Taiping Silk Village was a wealthy man in Huizhou, and he had a good relationship with the former county commander Yan Ji, so it seemed that this was the person. No wonder Pan Yue cares so much. It's just that this person never worships Governor Liu.

Li Zhuohang saw that his face was changing, he knew that this was a villain, and he was too lazy to talk to him, anyway, he didn't harbor the murderer, what was he afraid of.

He wasn't afraid, Li Hanyao was scared.

This surname Diao comes, and the young lady is afraid that she can't hide it. If the young lady is found out, she will crush the life of the prefect's son, needless to say, the end will definitely be miserable. The Li family's silk village will also be affected. When the time comes, her father will be arrested and taken to the government, what will she do with her mother? The Li family will collapse!

The more Li Hanyao thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she was anxious.

She trotted and followed the officials backwards, shouting loudly, "We will not harbor the murderers." The officials let go of the check, and the boxes and cabinets were all opened. Just ask the officials to be light on their hands and feet, and don't break things...... After checking it out, I came back, and I had mung bean soup to drink. ”

This is a reminder to Wang Yan: Hurry up and run.
