After seeing off Zhao Laosan, Yun Yi walked along the dark alley towards Zhuangfu.

On this night, not only was the county magistrate assassinated on the street, but even the chief secretary of the county government was unfortunately killed in the process of chasing the murderer.

With such a horrific case, he, an insider, will inevitably be interrogated by Zhuang Jing'an.

Although Yun Yi can also choose to hide the details from Zhuang Jing'an, if he does so, I am afraid that he will completely lose Zhuang Jing'an's protection.

Now that he has a shallow foundation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if he wants to live a stable life, it is necessary to find a strong backer.

And judging from Zhuang Jing'an's attitude towards herself just now, it seems that he is not busy getting rid of it because he is involved.

It is not impossible for such a teacher to appropriately reveal something to him.

When Yun Yi came to the door of the Zhuang Mansion in a bloody suit, the housekeeper of the Zhuang Mansion had already been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Seeing Yunyi like this, the housekeeper didn't ask much.

After letting Yunyi bathe and change clothes first, he took him to Zhuang Jing'an's study.

After entering the door, Yunyi saw Zhuang Jing'an standing in front of the desk practicing calligraphy.

On the tea table in the study, Zhuang Xinyan was sitting and drinking tea with Han Qingyun and Zhao Zheng.

Yun Yi first nodded to a few people, and then went straight to the desk to stand still.

"Student Yunyi, I've seen the teacher."

After bowing, Yun Yi stood beside him with interest.

After a while, when Zhuang Jing'an finished writing the last stroke, he first nodded with satisfaction, and then put down the brush and looked at Yunyi.

"You're done with everything?"

Yun Yi saw that Zhuang Jingan did not shy away from Zhao Zheng and Han Qingyun, and he did not hesitate at the moment, so he directly said the draft he had just typed.

"Qian Kun is dead?"

When he heard Yun Yi say that Qian Kun had died on the spot, Zhuang Jing'an's mood fluctuated.

"This matter is out of the door of this study, and it has nothing to do with you."

"It's going to be curfew now, so you can rest in the house tonight and go back early tomorrow morning!"

Zhuang Jing'an explained, and prepared to let Zhuang Xinyan take Yunyi to the guest room.

"Teacher, now that the facts of the tax and silver case are very clear, do you want to let that Liu Gengnian get away with it?"

Seeing that Zhuang Jing'an did not reveal the meaning of the follow-up case, Yun Yi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.

"You don't have to worry at this time, I think Liu Gengnian has been arrested and put in prison at this time."

Seeing Yun Yi asking, Zhuang Jingan did not hide it, and directly told Yun Yi the inside story.

It turned out that the reason why Han Qingyun came to Linjiang County was to investigate the tax and silver case that year.

Because of that incident back then, Liu Gengnian did it very secretively. So Han Qingyun didn't find out any useful information at all.

Due to the delay in the progress of the case, Zhao Zheng suggested starting with Liu Gengnian's property.

However, the two secretly investigated, but found that Liu Gengnian was simply a model of being an official, and even he only married a concubine.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through here, the two were worried that continuing the investigation would arouse Liu Gengnian's vigilance.

So when the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Zhao Zheng and Han Qingyun pretended to return to Beijing, but in fact, they wanted Liu Gengnian to relax his vigilance.

Sure enough.

Not long after they left Linjiang County, a large cart of gold, silver and jewelry was transported in the direction of the capital.

In order to determine the provenance of the gold and silver, they pretended to be mountain bandits and hijacked the convoy escorting the tax silver in the place where the tax silver was robbed.

Then they followed the fleeing escorts all the way, and finally confirmed that this batch of treasures was from Liu Gengnian.

After the treasure was robbed, although Liu Gengnian was very annoyed, he still had to give this gift.

So I was ready to raise a new batch of congratulatory gifts to give.

After the exploration of the spies, Liu Gengnian's several strongholds were finally figured out during this time.

Originally, they were going to arrest them after the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting tonight, but they didn't expect Liu Gengnian to be assassinated first.

Although Liu Gengnian was lucky enough to escape the assassination, he was arrested by Zhao Zheng's people as soon as he was bandaged in the medical hall.

"After the arrest of Liu Geng, we have already conducted a surprise interrogation of the case of that year, but Liu Gengnian's confession is a little different from what you told Mr. Zhuang."

After Zhuang Jing'an finished speaking, Zhao Zheng next to him added a sentence.

"Discrepancies? What is it? ”

Hearing Zhao Zheng say this, Yun Yi couldn't help but feel surprised.

Most of the information he learned was revealed to Tang Sai'er by Qian Kun.

He also thought that Qian Kun would not tell the truth of the matter, but now that Qian Kun is dead, there is no way to find out.

Hearing Zhao Zheng talk about it at this time, he couldn't help but wonder what the case was like back then.

"According to Liu Gengnian's confession, he did embezzle tax money back then, but in order to win over Qian Kun, Qian Kun also took a share of the silver."

"Later, when the deadline for the court to pay taxes and silver, Qian Kun gave Liu Gengnian an idea of Li Dai Taozhuang."

"Later, when I learned that the families of those errand soldiers went to Beijing to file a complaint, it was also Qian Kun who sent someone to assassinate them."

"In order to win over Qian Kun, Liu Gengnian also promised to wait for the affairs of the victims to be settled, and then he would go to Pingyang County to make a county order for Qian Kun's operation."

"It's just that some time ago, after the imperial court learned about the situation in Pingyang County, an official was transferred to take office."

"It is estimated that Qian Kun also made up his mind to kill Liu Gengnian after learning about this situation."

After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he returned to his previous lazy state.

After listening to Zhao Zheng's story, Yun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although Liu Gengnian's account is different from Qian Kun's story, it is a fact that the tax money was embezzled, and the officials of Linjiang County killed those who escorted the tax silver because of this matter.

As for who is greedy for ink, according to Yunyi's guess, both of them should be involved.

The county government is in charge of the county government accounts, and Liu Gengnian wants to eat alone, which is almost impossible.

As for who killed the errand soldiers, this Yun Yi is more inclined to Liu Gengnian's rhetoric.

Judging from Qian Kun's calculations for so many years, the mind of this master book is not ordinarily deep.

It is estimated that the whole thing, maybe even Liu Gengnian was kept in the dark by him.

Liu Gengnian thought that Qian Kun designed Tang Sai'er to go up the mountain in order to kill the families of those errand soldiers in the name of suppressing bandits.

Tang Sai'er thought that Qian Kun informed him of the news in order to help the families of these errand soldiers escape Liu Gengnian's clutches.

In fact, from beginning to end, Qian Kun was just for himself.

After all, he was intercepted by Liu Gengnian and the throne of the county order, so it was naturally impossible for him to work for Liu Gengnian willingly.

In addition, because Liu Gengnian was greedy for ink, he was repeatedly implicated and could not be promoted.

and Liu Gengnian's promise of his position as the county magistrate of Pingyang County, now it seems that it is just empty words.

If such a gloomy person can still be used by Liu Gengnian, then Liu Gengnian's rank is a little too advanced.
