The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn
Chapter 589 589 Burning the position
Wang Zhi and others simply cleaned the dust on their bodies and then came to Lin Su to tell them how they discovered the fire. Lin Su took note of Wang Zhi's words, asked him to sign and then let him go.
Then he asked several officers, and a muscular officer said to Lin Su: "Master Lin, I was resting in the room when I suddenly heard Wang Zhi shouting for water, so I ran out."
The tall and thin guard said: "When Wang Zhi came, he was talking about eating with Hou Wen and coming back. He felt sick to his stomach after drinking. Maybe he had eaten something unclean."
Lin Su looked at the few people, "Then have you noticed any suspicious people entering the county government office?"
Several people said in unison: "No, we ran out of the house when we heard the shouting."
Lin Su recorded what they said, asked them to sign and sign, then got up and walked to the backyard.
When Li Qing saw him come back and asked him to sit down, he said: "Mr. Lin, Brother Liang and the others found out that the government affairs in Le County were actually made by Wang Xian Cheng, who sent his family members away early. Since Mr. Liu is too ill to deal with the county affairs The energy for government affairs was gone, so why didn't he submit his resignation to the court? He insisted on holding on until his term was over before leaving. And why did his wife leave her seriously ill husband behind and take the children away, so she wasn't afraid that he would fall ill? Get up, can’t go back?”
Lin Su frowned and stroked the beard on his chin, "Yes! I have also thought about this issue. Do you think he is pretending to be ill?"
Li Qing felt that Master Lin's idea coincided with his, so he nodded and said: "If it is possible, then let's ask Brother Hu and the others to go to the inn to investigate."
"Okay, they are back too, I'll talk to them right now." Master Lin left to find Hu Zhong.
Liang Cheng went back and changed into dark brown clothes, took a mask and walked towards the warehouse in the northwest direction of the city. There isn't even a single star in the sky, and you can't even see it with your hands.
More than half an hour later, Liang Cheng arrived at Canghe, Le County.
The door of the warehouse was closed tightly, and a wind lamp hung high outside the door, emitting a dim yellow light.
Liang Chengmao bent down and moved to a slightly lower place under the wall of the warehouse. He took a long breath and stepped forward quickly. Using the force of his feet, he stepped hard on the ground. He leaped up and stepped up. He turned over the wall and jumped into the courtyard. After entering, I found that there were nine warehouses inside.
Liang Cheng walked towards the one closest to him, walked to the door and pushed the wooden door gently. The door opened with a creak. Liang Cheng looked around, walked in and blew the firewood, only to see that it was empty inside, and there were still things on the ground. There were quite a few grains scattered around.
Liang Cheng came out and walked towards the other room. He saw some sorghum rice piled inside, which was just at the bottom of the warehouse.
After walking through several rooms in succession, I found that some had small half-silos of grain stored in them, while some had no grain at all. Liang Cheng walked around inside and no one came out to check, so he walked quietly to the small room at the gate.
When I walked to the door, I heard a snoring sound that almost shook through the roof, and I saw two warehouse stewards sleeping in a splayed position inside.
Liang Cheng spat, and was just about to retreat to the courtyard wall and climb over the wall when he suddenly heard someone approaching the door. However, within a moment, he saw a dagger sticking out from the crack of the door and flipping the door latch.
Sure enough, someone is coming! Liang Cheng simply stood there motionless, waiting for someone to walk in.
After more than ten breaths, the door latch was placed on the ground, and the door was gently pushed open. A masked man walked in with a sharp knife in his hand, turned around and closed the door.
Liang Cheng hit him on the neck with a palm. The man quickly turned his head to avoid the blow and stabbed Liang Cheng with a knife. Liang Cheng dodged sideways and pinched his wrist with his left hand like an iron claw. The masked man held it in his hand. The sharp knife fell to the ground,
He made a fist with his right hand and punched the opponent's door, then kicked the man out and hit the wall. The man let out a strange scream, made a muffled sound when he hit the wall, fell to the ground, tilted his head and stopped moving.
"Dead?" Liang Cheng stepped forward and took his head off, only to see black blood flowing out of his mouth and nose and he had no breath. Liang Cheng searched him, glanced at the warehouse manager who was sleeping soundly on the bed, closed the door, climbed over the wall and disappeared into the night.
When he returned to the county government office, he saw Li Qing putting a water bag on his table, and told Li Qing about the situation in the warehouse and the encounter with the man in black.
"Master, I left that man at the warehouse. I found that he was carrying a water bag. The water bag was filled with kerosene. Fortunately, I went to the warehouse tonight. Otherwise, everyone would have discovered the warehouse by now. There was a fire."
Li Qing was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table, "Nine warehouses are empty, how dare you be so blatant? Where did the food go? Did the government and businessmen collude to resell it?"
Lin Su frowned and said: "Even if the government and businessmen collude, we don't dare to empty the warehouse! There must be a hidden secret that we don't know about. Master, we can't let Magistrate Liu go easily."
Li Qing nodded, took a breath, and said to Liang Cheng, "Brother Liang, thank you for your hard work."
Liang Cheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Master, I see that the water in Le County is very deep. You can't be without people. I will protect you personally from tomorrow."
Li Qing stood up and saluted Liang Cheng: "Thank you, Brother Liang."
Liang Cheng hurriedly replied: "You are too polite, I will go back first."
After Liang Cheng left, Li Qing and Lin Su discussed ways to deal with Magistrate Liu.
Lin Su thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, these people have such vicious intentions. As soon as you arrived in Le County, the county offices had fires one after another, and the people were ignorant. Then they would spread some rumors and say that you were the cause of the fires. Burn down the warehouse and burn their life-saving food."
Li Qing felt shuddered after hearing this, and gritted his teeth and said: "We can only force Magistrate Liu to tell the inside story he knows."
****
Magistrate Liu and Master Liu also learned that the account books had been burned. Master Liu looked at Magistrate Liu with a smile on his face, "My guess is right! That bitch Wang Ping is more anxious than us!"
Magistrate Liu also felt relieved and sighed: "Oh! I didn't expect them to be so bold as to burn those account books."
Master Liu stood up and rubbed his face, "It's okay now. Now the guy named Li can't find any reason not to go through the handover formalities with us. I'll go pack up and set off after the handover."
Ding Yi lay under the eaves of the inn where Magistrate Liu rented, watching the two men lowering their voices, what were they discussing? Ding Yi looked at Magistrate Liu's actions and felt that he didn't look like someone suffering from an incurable disease.
After returning to the county government, Ding Yi told Li Qing what he had seen. Ding Yi's discovery confirmed Li Qing's suspicion that Magistrate Liu was pretending to be ill.
The next day, at dawn, Hu Zhong went to the warehouse on the northwest corner of West Street.
Hiding in a tree not far from the warehouse, half an hour later, I saw a person running out of the warehouse in a hurry.
Hu Zhong followed him and tied him.
