In the backyard of a good house, the moonlight is clear and the air is fresh. Li Xuan feels that it is at least much better than the room inside.
At this moment, Gu Tan and others were standing on one side, except for a little book boy of 12 or 13 years old, with red lips and white teeth, wearing a blue-gray short shirt and a short blue belt on his head, standing opposite Li Xuan.
After hearing him talk about his experience during this period, Li Xuan said with emotion: "It turns out that you spent the past few days in the Confucius Temple, and it has been hard on you these past few days."
"Thank you, Shangguan, for your concern!" The little book boy looked at Li Xuan with a calm face, and then asked in a solemn tone: "I don't know when the villain will be able to take my master's body back. I'm afraid of delays and not being able to send him back to Fenzhou in time. Buried in my hometown."
"You don't have to worry about your master's affairs. The government will arrange for someone to send him back to Fenzhou for resettlement. Then you only need to go back with him." Li Xuan made a promise in one sentence. This is not a big deal. Difficult things can be settled in one sentence.
Li Xuan's eyes passed over the bodies of County Magistrate Gu Tan, County Lieutenant Kang Yao, Chief Secretary Li Dingyi, Chief of Staff Hu Ji and Lao Zuo, and then he asked solemnly: "Your master passed away. Did you do anything unusual a few days ago?"
"Unusual behavior?" There was a trace of confusion on the little book boy's face. After a few breaths, his eyes suddenly opened, he looked at Li Xuan and said, "Yes, the master always calculated until midnight in those few nights, and he never failed. He kept saying, no, no."
"What's wrong!" Li Xuan immediately followed up and asked. At the same time, several people on the side showed looks of concern on their faces. Strangely, no one looked nervous.
"I don't know." There was a burst of bitterness on the little book boy's face. He shook his head and said, "The master is that kind of person. He says I don't understand anything and doesn't talk to me. He is always there alone. Calculate with your head covered."
"What about the calculation paper?" Li Xuan's face became serious.
"Burn it. After the master's manuscript paper was calculated, he burned it himself, leaving nothing behind." The little book boy frowned and looked at the people beside him, and said with some confusion: "The man who joined the army that day I have already been asked about these, and I told him everything in detail." Z.br>
A coldness flashed in Li Xuan's eyes. He nodded lightly and said, "The soldier who joined the army forgot to tell us, so can you tell me what your master is doing in those days?"
The little book boy said with a confused face: "What else can be done? I will do calculations with the household registration book in the official house, and often go to the fields to check the growth of rice. After all, the summer harvest is coming. The master also said that after this summer harvest, He can return to Fenzhou."
When returning to Fenzhou, should I go back to Fenzhou on vacation or directly transfer back to Fenzhou?
What exactly did Hao Yuan discover?
Li Xuan stood up slowly, looked at the county magistrate Gu Tan and said: "In this case, let's follow Hao Canjun's daily routine, go to the official house first, and then go to the fields... Things in the fields will happen tomorrow Besides, today...today I will first call together all the scribes under Hao Canjun, especially those who usually accompany him to the fields."
"What Shangguan meant was that it might be a matter of land taxation..." Gu Tan looked at Li Xuan in surprise, but his expression clearly relaxed.
Li Xuan nodded calmly and said: "Now that the summer harvest is coming, if there is something shameful that Hao Canjun discovers, it is normal to take action. After all, in the eyes of those people, a human life really doesn't count. What to do, even if it’s the life of a high-ranking official in the imperial court..."
"What Shangguan said is true." Li Dingyi immediately stood up at this time, and said with a serious face: "There are quite a few aristocratic clans in Dongyang, and they have occupied countless acres of land over the years. If Hao Canjun really wants to kill these people, , it is not impossible for someone to secretly assassinate him, Huang Canjun, how could he be so careless..."
After speaking, Li Dingyi let out a long sigh and kept shaking his head, as if he was lamenting the difficulty of the world.
Li Xuan turned her head and looked at the county magistrate Gu Tan on one side with a frown.
The two people looked at each other, with a hint of horror flashing in their eyes.
Li Dingyi went down the slope too quickly. Li Xuan just raised a possibility.
Li Dingyi didn't raise any doubts at all. He completely pinned the blame on Huang Ziming and the Dongyang family, which was a bit too much.
"Then I'll go back now and find Huang Canjun to ask?" County Lieutenant Kang Yao stood up at this time and looked at Li Xuan with a look full of expectation.
Li Xuan looked Kang Yao up and down, shook his head lightly, and said: "Kang County Lieutenant, why have you still not washed away the murderous aura that came back from the Western Regions after so many years? No wonder County Magistrate Huang doesn't let you master the affairs of the law!"
Although Kang Yao's words were cryptic, the murderous intent in his words and the look of expectation on his face were not concealed at all.
Yelling and killing at every turn is not a problem in the Western Region, but in Dongyang, it is somewhat inappropriate.
You still need some means to do things here.
Besides, regarding Huang Ziming's matter, the most he can do now is to not report the information and call people over to question him. He, who has been in charge of the law all year round, must have already thought of excuses.
In doing so, it is easy to alert the enemy.
If you want to convict someone, the key is to get evidence.
Li Xuan turned to look at County Magistrate Gu Tan, and said in a deep voice: "County Magistrate Gu, we need to be cautious about Huang Canjun's matter. I'd like to see if I can send someone to where Huang Canjun lives first." , Also, his residence may not be just one, there are other unknown places, so send people to look for them and see if they can find anything."
"Okay!" Gu Tan nodded directly. He looked past Li Xuan to Xi Ying and said in a deep voice: "In this case, this matter will trouble Xi Ying to join the army."
Xi Ying glanced at Li Xuan, and when Li Xuan nodded, he handed over his hands and said, "I will go and make arrangements now."
Xi Ying quickly turned around and left. Looking at his back, County Lieutenant Kang Yao nodded and said, "Although Xi Ying has never been to the Western Regions or to the East Island to participate in the war, he is cautious, has a delicate character, and has strong military power. Quite impressive and worthy of cultivation.”
"It's indeed good." Li Xuan glanced at Gu Tan, then looked at Kang Yao and Li Dingyi at the same time, and said, "Please, Kang County Lieutenant and Chief Li will go back to the county office first, and stabilize Huang Canjun first. Guan Xiancheng and Gu Xiancheng will stay here for the time being to see if there is anything undiscovered here. When Xi joins the army and finds something, we can interrogate them together."
"Here!" Li Dingyi and Kang Yao didn't hesitate at all, turned around and left quickly.
Looking at Li Dingyi's leaving figure, Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
[Li Dingyi, the chief registrar of Dongyang, a native of Muzhou, and the deputy head of Dongyang Hall of Tianyin Sect. 】
"No one thought it was him." Gu Tan walked to Li Xuan's side, looked in the direction of the door, and said quietly.
"He appeared in too many places." Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "I originally thought that at least Kang County Lieutenant should be the one who came to investigate the cause of Hao Canjun's death that day. But later I found out that the Fa Cao actually belonged to Gu County Cheng It is under the jurisdiction of the county, but the county magistrate did not show up that day..."
"It was Director Li who offered to go and see it for me. I didn't think much about it at the time, so when I was told later that I had died of a sudden illness, I didn't think much about it at the time. It was only later that I felt something was wrong, so I quietly They sent Hao Canjun's body to Wuzhou, but they never expected that he was the one behind it, or even committed the murder." Gu Tan's face revealed a look of incomparable hatred for a moment.
In Dongyang today, County Magistrate Huang Jin has been recovering from his injuries, and judging from the extent of his injuries, he may not be able to recover in a short time, and even if he recovers, he may not be able to come back and take full power in the future.
This also means that as long as Huang Jin is in Dongyang, the real control of Dongyang lies in Gu Tan's hands.
He is the person who least wants to see Dongyang in turmoil.
As long as he can spend this period of time smoothly, Gu Tan will have a chance to succeed Huang Jin and become the real county magistrate of Dongyang.
But now, whether it is Li Dingyi or Huang Ziming, what they want to do is to completely destabilize the entire Dongyang, which Gu Tan will never tolerate.
"They are just two clowns. What you should really worry about is the people hiding behind them." Li Xuan waved her hands and said directly: "The official careers of the two of them have been clearly visible and can withstand any investigation, so
The possibility of finding problems directly on them is the smallest, which also means that on the surface, there is absolutely very little connection between them and the Tianyin Sect. "
"No matter what their true origins are, once they are out of contact for a long time, no matter how reassured the people of the Tianyin Sect are, they will not truly trust them. Therefore, there must be someone behind the two of them. There is another person who is really in control of the entire situation in Dongyang." Li Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly.
Li Dingyi and Huang Ziming are just the deputy heads of Tianyin Sect's Dongyang Hall. The real head of Tianyin Sect's Dongyang Hall is someone else.
"What the prince said is absolutely true." Gu Tan nodded and said seriously: "Now that the bait has been put down, it depends on whether they can take us to the nest and help us catch a big fish."
"The more we two let go, the more relieved they will be." Li Xuan smiled. He and County Magistrate Gu Tan stayed in this courtyard and let Li Ding do it. The more bold he would be to get it. Do something.
"It's almost time. I'll leave now. I hope the prince can cover up more." Gu Tan bowed his hands to Li Xuan and quickly left the courtyard.
Gu Tan is the Prime Minister of Dongyang County, and he is the biggest controller here at this time.
With his ability, it is actually not difficult to go back quietly.
Li Xuan turned back to look at the little book boy at the door of the house in the distance, walked over quickly, patted his shoulder and said: "This yard and the backyard will continue to be sealed, but you can live in the front yard and this yard. , you can also look for some places where copper coins are hidden. If you find it, stay there for a while. After the day is over and the matter is settled, I will contact someone to take you back to Fenzhou."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The little book boy bowed sincerely to Li Xuan. After looking at Li Xuan, he said seriously: "Actually, although all the things calculated by the master were burned, there are many things that the villain can see. I’ve passed it all, and it’s all recorded in my mind.”
"In other words, you can write them all silently now."
The mystery of the death of Dongyang Sihu who joined the army was finally revealed in front of Li Xuan.
As for the Dongyang County government affairs, Li Xuan never planned to really interfere.
Whether they arrest people or kill people, it's all their own internal affairs.
Now, let them fight each other on their own.
The secrets in this household registration book are what Li Xuan is most concerned about.
