Chapter 17: Tempting One Another
Hu Xiancheng returned to the county government and went to the county government archives to find the warden as soon as possible.
"I need peace for five years, in March, about the file of the generals dispatched by the Ministry of War."
Soon the warden found the backup documents and handed them to Hu Xiancheng.
Hu Xiancheng opened it and saw the contents inside, and was obviously surprised, the content inside was the same as Lin Fan's.
"It's true?"
Hu Xiancheng muttered to himself.
The warden smiled: "Lord County, you can't talk nonsense, our archives and documents here are all true, and chaos will lead to imprisonment." β
"Scribe Wang, do you know who sent this document? Why is this official not impressed at all? β
Hu Xiancheng asked tentatively.
Wang Dianzhi didn't know why Hu Xiancheng asked this question.
However, he still had an impression of this document, after all, it was the only document that the Ministry of War had sent to their county for backup over the years.
"This subordinate has some impressions, it was taken by the county magistrate himself, and he ...... at that time."
When the king said this, his face suddenly changed greatly.
At that time, the county commander told him that only the two of them knew about this military department document, and they couldn't tell the third person, otherwise they would lose their heads.
"What happened?"
Hu Xiancheng asked.
Wang Dianguan shook his head vigorously: "It's okay, it's okay, Master Hu, why did you suddenly remember to check this?" β
"It's the junior in the family, saying that he served in Qinglongzhai, and I thought about it, isn't it a den of thieves? However, the juniors in the family said that they were the regular army of the imperial court, and they were changed here three years ago. β
Hu Xiancheng casually told a lie.
Naturally, the king's officials didn't believe him.
Just smiled and said, "Then there's no need to worry. β
"Looks like I'm overthinking."
Hu Xiancheng handed the document back to the Wang Dian, and after a few more idle sentences, he left.
Hu Xiancheng left, but Wang Dianzhi couldn't sit still.
He's weighing the pros and cons.
I hesitate to inform the prefectural magistrate about this.
If you think about it, you just can't make up your mind.
So he walked up to a small clerk who copied the accounts and asked, "Li Xiucai, this official asks you a question." β
Li Xiucai hurriedly put down the brush in his hand, got up and saluted the Wang Dian, and then said respectfully: "My lord, please ask, the students will listen to you." β
"It's a private conversation, it's not a business, and there's no need to do it."
Wang Dianzhi hurriedly asked Li Xiucai to sit down.
Only then did he speak: "If someone asks you to keep something secret, but you say it unintentionally, and it may be known by the person who asked you to keep it secret, if you confess in advance, or do you want to delay it by luck?" β
"My lord, the student has never divulged any secrets of the archives."
Li Xiucai thought that the Wang Dianzhi was ordering him!
Quickly got up and explained.
"It's not you, it's a friend of mine, you say what if you do?"
When Wang Dianguan said this, Li Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief.
Aggrieved and aggrieved: "If it is a student, the student will admit his mistake in advance, which is much better than the thunder and anger after the other party knows, and inform the other party in advance, maybe there is a possibility of remedy." β
"Okay, Li Xiucai, what you said is reasonable and promising."
A word woke up the dreamer, Wang Dianzhi excitedly patted Li Xiucai's shoulder, and then turned to leave.
Li Xiucai was frightened.
Is this the truth or the opposite of what the king is saying?
Could it be that I really inadvertently leaked the secrets of the archives and let him know?
Li Xiucai began to try to recall what he had done over the years.
Wang Dianguan left the archives, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself, and then went to the county government back hall to ask for a meeting with the county order.
When the county magistrate heard that the king had come to see him, he did not hang it.
Instead, he instructed his subordinates to invite the king's officials to come to the flower hall.
When they arrived at the flower hall, before the subordinates left, the Wang Dianguan popped and knelt in front of the county order.
"The lower official was negligent for a while, and divulged the adult's secret, and asked the adult to punish him."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xianling was frightened.
He had many secrets, and the king's warden seemed to know several.
He first asked his subordinates to retreat, and then he helped the king and asked, "Brother Wang, what happened?" Why such a gaffe? β
"Xiaguan I'm sorry my lord, three years ago, you sent a military document into the archives and kept it secret, but today I don't know why, Hu Xiancheng said that he wanted to see the archive documents, and Xiaguan didn't think much about it, so he found it and gave it to him, but when he read it, Xiaguan suddenly sounded, and the adult's advice three years ago."
"What was the military department clerk three years ago?"
There were too many things going on this day, and Zhang Xianling didn't think about it for a while.
When the king heard this, he wanted to slap himself.
It turns out that the prefectural magistrate has long forgotten that there is such a thing.
Do you want to fool the past?
But thinking of the smiling tiger character of the county magistrate, he felt that this was the county magistrate digging a pit for him again.
He wants to say that it's okay, and if something happens in the future, he may be blamed.
So he weighed it again and again, and still said it 1510.
"So that's it! It's been three years, and it doesn't hurt if it's leaked, anyway, someone from the military department at that time specially explained that this is a secret mission given to Qinglongzhai by His Majesty, and it only needs to be kept secret for three years. β
Zhang Xianling remembered the events of that day.
At that time, the lord who came from the military department was full of murderous energy, which frightened him.
"Then the lower official will be relieved."
Only then did the official Wang breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, there is one more thing, you go and do it, since Captain Lin's identity has been exposed, let's withdraw the reward for Qinglong Village outside the city!"
Zhang Xianling suddenly thought of the order when the military lord left, and hurriedly ordered Wang Dian's official to do it.
"Xiaguan will go."
Originally, the bounty was withdrawn, and it was not returned to the king's officials.
But the county commander personally ordered it, how dare he not go.
Looking at the back of the county Cheng leaving, the corner of Zhang County's mouth showed a meaningful smile.
β¦β¦
The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he wanted to discuss it with his little sister.
But I found that the little sister hadn't come back yet.
This made Lin Fan realize that something was wrong.
Because the little sister does the task, it never takes more than three days.
And this time, it's been more than seven days.
He found Wu Yong, expressed his worries, and then said: "Military advisor, the village will be handed over to you for the time being, and I will go to Sanjiang County to find my little sister." β
"My lord, it's dangerous outside, I don't worry about you going, I'll go and find the eldest lady!"
Wu Yong now knew that Lin Fan was a military attachΓ©, but he didn't dare to let him have an accident.
After all, there is an official in charge, and they can sit back and relax.
