Li Qing looked at Master Liu with a mocking look.

Master Liu looked at Li Qing with wide eyes and a frightened look on his face, "Master Li, how can you spit on others? You..."

Li Qing raised his hand to stop him, "Master Liu, you should go back and tell your master what I said and see what he says?"

"Goodbye." Master Liu bowed his hands to Li Qing and left angrily.

When Hu Zhong saw Master Liu leaving, he went in and reported to Li Qingxian: "Master, they planned to burn the warehouse again, but I caught them. One of these two people is called Wang Chun and the other is Wang He. They are of the same clan as Wang Xiancheng. The idea of ​​burning the warehouse came from Wang County Cheng."

Li Qing sighed: "How brave you are! The two people in charge of the warehouse are actually members of the Wang family. This Le County has become the domain of the Wang family."

Hu Zhong nodded and looked at Li Qing, "Are those two people going to be brought back?"

Li Qing shook his head, "Bring them back and put them in jail. They don't know how they died! Find a place outside to lock them up, and wait for me to come and interrogate them properly."

"Okay, I'll find a secluded place." Hu Zhong bowed and left.

Master Liu returned to the inn, showed the deed to Magistrate Liu, and then told Li Qing what he said.

"He knows!" Magistrate Liu looked at him and exclaimed.

"Yes, what do you think we should do? If we sign this thing, we still can't escape if the incident happens. If we don't sign, he won't be able to hand it over." Master Liu looked at him with a troubled face, "What do you think we should do?"

Magistrate Liu felt in a dilemma and said angrily: "It took me eight lifetimes of bad luck to come to this damn place. Not only was I suppressed by a county magistrate, but Ren was also an inhumane person."

Master Liu looked at him and said, "No matter what, we have to come up with an idea! They are still waiting for you to check the warehouse over there."

Magistrate Liu lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at him and said, "He is forcing me to cooperate with him."

"Then what do you think?" Master Liu asked.

Magistrate Liu looked at Master Liu and said in a serious tone: "Uncle, I'm in a dilemma too. You see, he's just like me. He's just a small magistrate. He definitely doesn't have much foundation before he is fooled. place. Do you think we have a good chance of winning by cooperating with him?"

Master Liu thought for a while and said, "He is a prostitute, and he has been in the Hanlin Academy for three years. He should still have some connections. Go talk to him, tell him something, and test his tone."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Liu thought about it and felt that this could only be the case. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll test him and see if he has the courage to confront the person behind Wang Ping."

Mr. Cheng arrived outside Beicheng and followed the stone steps to Cuizhu Mountain. Wenchang Pavilion was built surrounded by ancient trees and green bamboos. The pavilion is surrounded by high courtyard walls, and there are pools, flowers, pines and bamboos in the courtyard.

A muscular man was cleaning fallen leaves from the ground in the yard. Seeing Mr. Cheng walking in a hurry, he asked strangely: "Sir, do you have something important to come so early?"

Mr. Cheng nodded, "Chu Yun, is the second master up?"

Chu Yun nodded and said, "Get up and practice boxing in the backyard."

Mr. Cheng nodded and walked towards the backyard. He saw that the second master was still boxing. He stood aside and waited for him to finish. Then he stepped forward and said, "Second master, the person who burned the barn has not come back."

The second master said with a stern face, "I understand. There was no fire last night. Have you received any news from Kyoto?"

"No, I'm worried that our people have been exposed." Mr. Cheng glanced at the second master cautiously, "The new county magistrate is not a fuel-efficient lamp. What do you think we should do next?"

"Let someone do it and find someone to replace him. It will be easier for us."

Mr. Cheng complained: If you can find someone to replace you, the person named Liu has already met the King of Hell, so there is no need to worry about the person named Li.

"Second Master, there are people from Sihai Bank watching over there, can it be done?"

The second master was so angry that he kicked the wooden basin under his feet, "Who would have thought that the old master had handed over the bank to him a long time ago. No wonder the boss said that after his accident, we were the grindstone he prepared for the third son."

Mr. Cheng feels the same way. What's the use of the Cheng family's money? In this world, people must have people and soldiers. The third prince was able to sit in that position precisely because he had the support of soldiers and horses.

Mr. Cheng suddenly felt a little desperate. How could those few people in the mountains compete with the imperial army? When would the days of hiding like this come to an end?

"Second Master, let's ask Wang Ping to try to win over him. Do you think that's okay?"

"Go and tell Wang Ping that this can't be done, and tell him to be careful with his head!"

Mr. Cheng bowed in agreement and withdrew.

The second master stood quietly for a while and said to Chu Yun: "Go and get ready. Let's go out and take a look."

Chu Yun hesitated for a moment, then nodded under his close gaze, "Yes, I will go and prepare now."

Half an hour later, the disguised Er Ye and Chu Yun led three strong men and rode towards Kyoto.

When County Magistrate Liu arrived at the county government office, he bowed his hands to Li Qing and complained: "Master Li, you are too much! We are all officials of the imperial court, how can we be like merchants, go through the handover procedures and sign a contract? .”

Li Qing glanced at him lightly, "Master Liu, you don't need me to explain the stakes here. Now that we're here, let's go to the warehouse to look at the grain."

You already know what’s going on in Cangguo, but you’re still looking at this! Magistrate Liu cursed and walked up to Li Qing, looked at him and said: "Master Li, I won't hide it from you. The situation in Canghe is the same as what you said, there is no grain. Are you really determined to investigate this matter? You Aren’t you afraid of the people behind Wang Ping?”

"The person behind Wang Ping!" Li Qing looked up at him, "What kind of incredible person is hiding behind Wang Ping that makes you so scared?"

Magistrate Liu hesitated again and again, pointed to the roof, then stretched out two fingers towards Li Qing and said softly: "A person who was originally dead! Do people like you and I dare to touch him?"

Li Qing looked at Magistrate Liu, remembering that the second prince sent someone to kidnap his sister, and looked at him curiously, "How did you know it was him? Are you sure you didn't identify the wrong person?"

When Magistrate Liu saw Li Qing, he was just curious about whether he had recognized the wrong person, but did not ask what he meant. He felt that Li Qing must know about the second master.

She looked at him and smiled bitterly, "When the late Emperor was in power, I went to Beijing to take the exam. I took the exam several times before I could pass the high school, so I was unfortunate enough to meet that person."

Only then did Li Qing understand why he knew the second prince.

"Since Mr. Liu knew that he was a dead man, why didn't he report it when he found out?"

Magistrate Liu looked at Li Qing sadly, "Are those things something that people like us can get involved in? I am a humble person and have no backer in Kyoto. Who do you want me to report to? Who will believe my words? Since I accidentally After meeting him, I felt that there must be something wrong with him hiding here, so the more I thought about it, the more I became afraid."

Li Qing looked at him and thought: He has gotten so many benefits in Le County in recent years. No wonder he is doing well and doesn't want to do it anymore.

Magistrate Liu looked at Li Qing and said, "Master Li, I have told you all my secrets. Just show your dignity and go through the handover procedures!"
