"Have you finished reading?" The messenger raised his eyelids slightly, "Forgive me for being rude, but I'm in a hurry to get back on my errand." ”

Wu Sijing stared at the letter in his hand, his expression was extremely heavy, and he didn't know how to answer, but he couldn't bear his continuous urging, so he had to twitch his flesh a few times, and reluctantly laughed: "Don't be anxious at the moment, this matter is purely nothing." That Lord Ye wants to cure my crimes, and there is no evidence, and if I give him sheep again, won't it be a way to kill myself? Besides, I have the interests of the county master, but I don't have the slightest benefit from him. returned to the county order and persuaded him not to be suspicious, so as to fall for others' tricks. ”

The messenger made a long gesture and said goodbye, and Wu Sijing just watched.

"Old Bishop, what is written in this letter?" The beard couldn't help but say more.

Wu Sijing glanced at them, then sneered disapplausively, threw away the letter and said, "It's okay, it's Ye Yongjia's plan to divide the world." He told the magistrate that the sheep I gave him was originally for him, which led to the suspicion of the magistrate. But all the princes know that the sheep was prepared early, and I myself have never been out of the church for half a step, and I have not even sent out a long follower, how can I suddenly communicate with Ye Yongjia? You can know the viciousness of his intentions! ”

Everyone looked at each other as usual, and after a moment of embarrassment, they all laughed and echoed: "The officials here bully me and other outsiders, which is not enough to win the trust!" ”

"It's also bad luck to keep this letter," Wu Sijing sighed sullenly, "Come on, light a candle." ”

After that, a long entourage went up to the hall with a candle, lit it with velvet, and presented it to Wu Sijing.

The beard secretly moved his eyes away, staring at Wu Sijing's wrinkled hand, which crumpled the letter into a ball, placed it on top of the candle flame, and was gradually swallowed up by the flames.

"The documents of the imperial court have arrived." Li Wenshou held a sealed document in his hand, placed it in front of the magistrate, and coldly threw out a sentence.

"I ...... Can I dismantle it? Zhixian didn't dare to move his hands and looked at him timidly.

"You can pick it up and take a look," Li Wenshou said, "Anyway, there is what you want." ”

The magistrate slowly stretched out his hand, and as soon as he held up the paperwork, a piece of jute paper fell out of it, which made him frown in fright.

As soon as he opened it, the clean silver ticket appeared in front of him, and he was excited in his heart, and secretly thought: "What Lord Ye said is really not bad. He also took the silver ticket and saw that it was written: "Wenning River Zhixian is quite helpful in the construction of the factory, and he is specially given thirty-five taels of silver to commend his merits." Below the text is indeed the stamp of the province of Zhongshu.

"Thank you Prime Minister, thank you Prime Minister ......" He hurriedly bowed to the north to show respect.

"It's good to remember the prime minister's kindness. You don't need to look at the paperwork anymore, you can just hand it over to the errand and hand it over to the businessman. Niu Xiang sent someone to tell me that now everyone has a ghost in their hearts, and they must not be caught. You should repeatedly instruct your subordinates not to dismantle and look at it without permission, and if you get into trouble because of this, you will definitely be asked! With that, Li Wenshou waved his sleeves and turned around and strode away.

Zhixian was a cowardly person, and he had been rewarded by the imperial court, so how dare he be disobedient, so he hurriedly agreed twice and sent him out of the study.

After the magistrate returned to the house, not only did he not open the documents without permission, but he was also afraid that his subordinates would not be sincere in his work, so he specially asked the clerk to seal it with wax, so he handed it over to the messenger with peace of mind, and ordered the selected horse to go to Beitang quickly.

After finishing his official duties, the county magistrate was in a happy mood, and he hurriedly ordered the man to stew the mutton bones, and he had to make up for it at night. Although the man was tired, he was helpless, so he made him a big pot of mutton soup and sent it to him; The latter ate the lamb bone soup in a cold wine and soon ate it all.

"What are you doing in a daze? Fuck, call you guys! Come over here and help me clean up the dishes! His face was red from drinking, and his words were a little rude.

Several of the servants were dazed by his yelling, but seeing that he had drunk, they did not intend to provoke him, and honestly took the plates and wiped the table.

"Get out!" He waved his hand like a dog and grinned.

"Villain...... There's something to say. ”

"Tell me something? If it's about official business, I'm ...... Beat you up with a hundred sticks! He curled his tongue and said.

"It's not official business, it's Lord Ye who wants to drink with you to celebrate, and there is a table of big fish and meat waiting for you."

"Celebrating?" He patted his head and seemed to think about it for a while, "Yes, yes, the construction of the factory was a great success, and the court awarded me for my first meritorious service, so there is a celebration of it." If you still have wine to drink, you will go to ......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, open the door!"

The wooden door made a bang, Ye Yongjia and the others looked back, and saw a rickety figure outside the paper window, wearing a black gauze hat.

"Drinking." Cai Xianqing said in a low voice, then leaned down and trotted back to the back room.

"Oh, here we are!" Ye Yongjia pushed open the door and made a gesture, "Lord Zhixian, we have been waiting for a long time." ”

"It's all to blame on those bastards...... Don't tell me about it early......"

The magistrate saw that he had the intention of helping, so he put his arm over, and Ye Yongjia dragged him over, as if he was supporting, but he pushed him on the shoulder, causing him to stumble a few steps and fall to the ground.

Boom!

The two doors were quickly closed, the wind whistled by, and the dazed Zhixian suddenly became energetic, and as soon as he looked up, before he could see the structure of the room clearly, he was poured a large bucket of water head-on.

"Who told you kid to drink?" Cai Xianqing carried the wooden barrel and sneered, "Sober and sober, I can listen to our words!" ”

The magistrate was trembling, and most of his drunkenness disappeared in an instant; He shook off the water from his body and quickly got up, his round eyes full of horror.

"Head, headache." His tongue still couldn't be put down.

"Sit." Ye Yongjia moved a chair for him.

"Do you know what was written on the paperwork for you?" Ye Yongjia whispered behind him, sounding very scary.

"Isn't it a casting plan agreed upon by the imperial court?"

"Wrong!" Cai Xianqing shouted, "That letter was not sent by the imperial court at all, but was ghostwritten by Li Shenzheng, and it wrote all the crimes you committed in conspiration with Wu Sijing!" ”

This passage is tantamount to a thunderclap, which runs straight through the whole body of Zhixian from the heavenly spirit! His whole body was paralyzed, and he slowly slid down from the circle chair, but fortunately, Cai Xianqing held down his legs and asked him to sit back down.

"Your Excellency...... O Lord! The magistrate grabbed Ye Yongjia's sleeve and wept bitterly, "I committed this mortal crime, but I am really cunning and have been forced to do so many times, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”

"In order to clear Wu Sijing's criminal evidence a few months ago, you transferred all his property to the government, and now you are collecting his mutton, are you helpless!"

"How do you know?"

Cai Xianqing said: "As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, if you do these things, someone will listen in the dark!" ”
