I saw him twisting and turning in the alleyway a few times, and when he arrived in front of a large house with blue bricks and blue tiles, he said to the door: "Is Mr. Wang Xiancheng at home?"

Menzi nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't gone to the Yamen yet."

The warehouse manager ran straight in and saw Wang Ping sitting at the dining table eating.

Wang Ping also looked at him, frowned and said to him: "What happened? You look lost."

The warehouse manager took a breath, patted his chest and said in shock: "Master, Wang Chun and I got up this morning and found a black-clothed and masked body at the gate, and a sharp knife on the ground. What do you think we should do? Do you want to go to the Yamen? Report a crime?”

Masked men in black, are they going to attack Wang Chun and the others? Or are you going to burn down the warehouse? It seems that they have never thought about returning the food to me. What should I do? The newly appointed magistrate is not as easy to handle as Magistrate Liu.

We can't get the food back, so we can just burn it.

Seeing that Wang Ping was deep in thought, the warehouse manager felt anxious and urged: "Master, what do you think we should do? There is a big dead man there."

Wang Ping looked up at him, "Don't report the crime. Sit down, I have something to ask you."

The warehouse manager glanced at him and sat down diagonally on the chair. Wang Ping pulled up a chair and sat across from him, looked at him and said, "Wang He, how much of the grain in the warehouse did you and Wang Chun sell?"

Wang He's eyes flickered, "Master, how dare we? We always follow your orders."

Wang Ping looked at him and shook his head, "Wang He, you are dishonest. I know all the things you and Wang Chun did. In the past, because we are uncles and brothers of the same race, I didn't pursue it. I know everything you did. Chu, do you want me to take you to the West Street Grain Shop to confront you?"

Wang He fell to his knees on the ground with a bang, "Master, we only did it a few times and got some small money to spend, and every time we got it as a gift!"

Wang Ping stood up and looked at Wang He condescendingly, "Let me tell you, the new county magistrate is not like Magistrate Liu. He has already started checking the accounts. I think he will check the warehouse soon. What is the situation in the warehouse? , you know better than me. Let me tell you, stealing and selling grain in warehouses will result in beheading!"

Wang He's heart felt as if he had fallen into a frying pan, and he cursed in his heart: His grandmother's brother, we still call you master. Ninety-nine percent of that food was sold by you! If you want to behead, you come first.

Wang He raised his head and looked at Wang Ping, and said inconsistently: "Master, what do you think we should do? Give us a trick! We will definitely do it."

Wang Ping said softly: "It seems that the man in black came to burn down the warehouse. You went back and burned the warehouse. You disguised the man in black as stealing food. You accidentally beat him to death after you discovered it. No." Be careful of getting lost."

Wang He's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea. The food has been burned. Let's see how he checks it!"

Wang Ping nodded, "Go back quickly and remember to do it neatly."

"Hey! I'll go back and do it now, little one." Wang He got up and ran outside.

Hu Zhong saw Wang He coming out of the house and followed him back to the warehouse. After seeing him running in, Hu Zhong closed the door.

Wang He told Wang Chun what Wang Ping said, and both of them thought it was a good idea. He boldly dragged the man in black to the edge of the warehouse, went back and took the oil lamp and started setting fire to it.

From the tree, Hu Zhong saw the two men dragging the man in black to the outside of a warehouse. He was still at the door. He turned back and entered the warehouse with an oil lamp. "No, it looks like this bitch is still going to set fire to it."

Hu Zhong came down from the tree and climbed into the barn. The two of them had already lit the fire. Hu Zhong was so angry that he pushed the two of them onto the newly lit sorghum and shouted: "Put out the fire, or else I will make you change." Into a roast pig.”

Wang He and the other two fell on the newly lit sorghum, hurriedly fighting the fire beneath them, and after hurriedly extinguishing it, they looked at Hu Zhong tremblingly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"You will know who I am later." Hu Zhong twisted the two of them and tied them up with hemp rope.

*****

Mr. Cheng waited until dawn but did not see the expected fire. Even the people sent to burn down the warehouse did not come back. He felt something bad and hurriedly went out and rushed towards Wenchang Pavilion outside the city.

Master Liu also went to the county government office to find Li Qing. He said with red eyes: "Master Li, I am busy sending my master back to his hometown for medical treatment. Please, for the sake of your colleagues, sign the handover documents with your noble hand."

Li Qing glanced at Master Liu and took out something similar to a contract and a stack of accounts that he, Master Lin, and Alei had stayed up late to write down.

Putting it in front of him, he said calmly: "Master Liu, take a look, this is the account I found yesterday. It's not that I'm unkind, but it's really a matter of great concern. Take it back to Master Liu." Take a look, and if you agree, sign and stamp it, and we will have a voucher in the future!"

Master Liu looked at the accounts and contract that Li Qing handed him, opened the silently written accounts, and saw several accounts he had handled on it, and they were recorded accurately.

He glanced at Li Qing in surprise and thought: No wonder Mr. Li was chosen as the scout, and his memory ability is so good.

Looking at the contract again, the general meaning of it is: After checking, the Le County County Government's accounts were found to have major discrepancies. According to the usual practice, Mr. Li should not have handed over to Liu County Magistrate. One was because the account books were accidentally destroyed, and the other was Because Magistrate Liu was seriously ill, Master Li made an exception and handed over to Master Liu based on the people-oriented concept.

Before the handover, both parties should settle the existing affairs and properties of the county government. Mr. Li will only be responsible for the affairs and properties of the county government after he takes over.

After Master Liu read it, he thought to himself: I have never heard of anyone having to sign a contract and then go through the handover procedures! This Master Li is too cunning! In this way, it makes no difference whether my master leaves or not.

"Master Li, aren't you making things difficult for my master?"

Li Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Master Liu, you all know how Le County's accounts are. I don't think this is embarrassing Magistrate Liu. If you don't agree with this, I will just It can be reported to the court."

Master Liu looked at Li Qing with a livid face, "Master Li, reporting to the court will not do you much good. You have to be merciful and merciful. You are competing with my master's colleagues, so why are you so aggressive?"

"I'm aggressive," Li sneered and put the water bag Liang Cheng brought back on the table. "You probably don't know yet! Someone went to the warehouse last night and planned to set it on fire. Is there anything left in the warehouse? You don’t know how much food you have, right?”

"I am very curious. Who gave you the courage to resell the food in the warehouse? What secrets does Le County hide? Let Mr. Liu harm his own body to find a way out. But you Can you really escape unscathed?"
