Chapter 51: The Fish Takes the Bait (Ask for Follow-up, Jack Up, Brothers)
The sound of the teacup breaking is especially crisp at night, and it travels farther.
After hearing the sound of the teacup breaking inside, Xu Bai stood in the corner of the wall, and then left satisfied.
……
In the room with the oil lamp bright, Zhang Xianling held the letter, his hands trembling slightly.
The contents of the letter leapt onto the page, and when he read it all, his hands trembled and his eyes were filled with anger.
The content is very simple, that is, to tell him that the Lin family intends to submit the record of bribery to the capital, and wants to drag him down from his current position.
Moreover, in order to act cautiously, the Lin family consigned it through the Fulong Dart Bureau for other reasons.
In addition to this letter, there were several pieces of paper on which were written a record of the bribe.
Looking at the past from the perspective of Zhang Countyling, the content on it is exactly the same, and it is recorded from beginning to end.
He didn't know who sent the letter, but if that was the case, then he would be the end of his job.
"Who sent it?" Zhang Xianling thought.
After thinking about it for a long time, I temporarily gave up thinking about the source of the letter.
It matters who sent the letter?
Of course it's important, but now there's something more important.
That is to quickly block the transmission of the ledger!
There are priorities, and Zhang County Ling does not plan to wait.
He couldn't care so much, stepped out of the door in a few steps, and shouted in the courtyard.
"Someone!"
The county government of the Great Chu State also has officials on duty at night, and they live in the backyard.
As Zhang Xianling shouted, there was a sound in the backyard, and then several officials trotted out.
A few of the officials were in a hurry, and they didn't get their clothes on, so they put them on as they ran.
"Go to the Fulong Dart Bureau, secretly bring the dart owner to me, and let him bring the dart by the way." Zhang Xian ordered: "Take advantage of the night, you must not alarm anyone, this matter must be kept tight."
The officials looked at each other one after another, and they didn't know what the situation was, but when they heard that the county order was so serious, they also knew that it was a big deal, and they hurriedly left.
After the officials left, Zhang Xianling returned to the house and burned all the papers just now.
Looking at the paper that turned into ashes, Zhang Xianling fell into deep thought, thinking about something else.
Who sent him the letter?
What is the purpose of this man?
Wait until this crisis is resolved, and then check the news of this person.
……
At this time, Xu Bai had already returned to the dart game, changed into ordinary clothes, took off his coat, and lay on the bed.
He carefully recalled the contents of the letter, and after making sure that there were no flaws, he smiled reassuringly.
In the letter, he mentioned the Fulong dart game again, and completely ignored the Fulong dart board, only saying that the Fulong dart board received a set of darts.
"Next, he should be coming soon." Xu Bai closed his eyes, thinking that the time should be almost up.
About a stick of incense had passed, there was a knock on the door of the dart board.
"Who, who? Knock on the door at night. Xu Bai walked out of the door with his coat on, opened the door, and pretended to be surprised.
As soon as the door was opened, the officials rushed in and surrounded Xu Bai.
"Your Excellency secretly announced you, bring your darts, and go with us to the county office." One of the officials said.
Because of secrecy, they didn't even bring torches, and it was pitch black outside.
"Huh? Yes! Okay, okay, you wait for me. Xu Bai walked into the room and brought the empty wooden box from before.
"Let's go!" The official spoke, leading the way in front.
……
A moment later, the backyard of the county office.
When Xu Bai arrived at the county office, he ran into the county order of Zhang.
And Zhang Xian ordered the others to leave, leaving Xu Bai alone.
"Give me something." Zhang Xianling went straight and stretched out his hand.
Xu Bai pretended to be at a loss: "My lord, this is a dart, and the most taboo thing in our industry is ......"
"There's something wrong with this thing, are you trying to disobey my orders?" Zhang Xianling interrupted impatiently.
He can't do so much now, destroying things is the most important thing.
Xu Bai shrunk his neck, pretended to be scared again, and carefully handed over the wooden box.
After Zhang Xianling opened the wooden box, he found that it was empty.
"What's going on? What about what's inside? His expression was angry.
Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, and then said at a loss: "My lord, I don't know, I've never touched this thing, no, there's obviously a lock hanging on it, how can it not be seen?"
"Don't you know if there's a padlock on it?" Zhang Xianling's expression changed from anger to gloom.
The ledger is gone, what does that person think?
He couldn't figure it out.
"I was still there last night, you were in a hurry just now, I didn't pay attention to this thing, it's over, it's over, it's lost before it starts, and the dart game is not saved......" Xu Bai took two steps back, his face was very pale, and his shoulders couldn't help but tremble.
This appearance, with a hint of despair mixed with fear, was vividly portrayed by Xu Bai.
Actually, he could have done it more simply.
But to get rid of the dart game, you have to do the opposite.
After Zhang Xianling was angry, he slowly calmed down.
He looked at Xu Bai, who showed a scared expression, and tried his best to make his tone calm: "Okay, it's none of your business, go back quickly, you can't tell anyone about this matter, do you understand?" Pretend it didn't happen. ”
There were too many things happening tonight, especially the box turned out to be empty, which made Zhang Xianling have a guess in his heart.
The mysterious man who reported to him may have quietly taken the ledger away.
As for why he took it, it is estimated that he wanted to grab his handle.
Now he can't think too much about it, he has to settle the matter first.
As for the dart master in front of him, he must not be allowed to expose the matter, stabilize it first.
He wants to deal with the Lin family first!
Unplug this evil thing first, and then find a way to deal with that mysterious person.
And the Lin family wants to get things out through the dart game, so the situation of the dart game must be stabilized now.
"But my lord...... My dart ......" Xu Bai whispered again.
"I'm telling you, it's not your thing that matters now, this thing is very likely to be a stolen thing, and I have to confirm it slowly, so once this matter is exposed, I'll ask you!" Zhang Xianling began to intimidate.
Xu Bai hurriedly shrunk his neck, and hurriedly agreed, saying that he would never be exposed.
"You go first." Zhang Xianling waved his hand.
Xu Bai nodded, as if this was a crater, he didn't dare to stay at all, and left quickly.
After Xu Bai left, Zhang Xianling's face was still gloomy.
No one knew what was going on in his mind, and no one knew what he was planning.
The wind in the night was very cold, and Zhang Xianling's eyes were gloomy with a touch of ruthlessness.
……
Xu Bai walked out of the yamen and went to the dart game, the expression on his face did not change, until he closed the door with his backhand, and finally couldn't help but smile.
Fish, hooked.
