“???”

What if you promise to help?

Seeing Li Yi's confusing eyes coming, Zhao County Wei felt a little ashamed.

"Not long ago, Lin Yu, the father of Lin Bushu, visited the King's Principal, and then Lin Bushu was forcibly taken to the King's Principal. If you want to interrogate him, you must first pass the King's Principal."

"Hmm?" Li Yi looked at Zhao County Wei in confusion.

What is the reason for this?

The prisoner detained by the Zhao County Magistrate was taken away by the Chief Wang? Isn’t this equivalent to the government affairs officer taking away the director of the Public Security Bureau?

There is no reason for this.

Zhao County Wei shook his head: "Brother Li, don't think that this official is confused. If it were someone else, the chief clerk would not be able to steal people from him. It's really Lin Yu... is a bit troublesome."

"I hope to hear the details." Li Yi couldn't help but breathe when he saw that the Zhao County Commander's face was serious.

Zhao County Wei looked around and said secretly: "This person is a salt merchant."

Li Yi was stunned, salt merchant? Pingji County does not produce salt...

After a moment, Li Yi realized that if Lin Yu didn’t come here to buy salt, then he would be a salt merchant who came to Pingji County to sell salt!

Moreover, it is a salt merchant who smuggles private salt!

Li Yi was surprised: "Since Lin Yu is such a guy, then why should he be afraid of his handle by the adults?"

Zhao County Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Things are not as simple as the little brothers think. We not only cannot offend Lin Yu, but also have to hold on to him."

Zhao County Wei explained again, and Li Yi finally understood.

It turned out that Pingji County was so poor that the main taxes came from two local wealthy families: the Su family and the Lin family.

Among them, the Su family is the branch of Suzhou cloth merchants, namely the Su Yu family; the Lin family is the Lin family that sells private salt, and Lin Yulin is uncomfortable.

Both families have been working hard in the county government offices, and from county magistrates to officers, they have eaten the oil and water of their two families.

The twenty taels of silver that Li Yi went to Miaoyu Pavilion to get free was actually from the worship of these two families.

Otherwise, even Zhao County Wei would not be able to provide twenty taels of silver for Li Yi to play for public expenses.

Therefore, for the sake of taxes and other reasons in the county, Zhao County Wei not only could not move the Lin family, but also had to hold it with a angrily voice.

Moreover, if someone sells private salt, it is just selling private salt behind your back. People clean up the surface traces, and even if you want to dig out evidence, you can't dig out it.

"Lin Yu has always been close to Wang Zhuanzhu. This time Lin Yu came to ask Wang Zhuanzhu to save Lin Bangshu." Zhao County Wei showed a strange smile, "But you don't have to worry. If there is no evidence, Wang Zhuanzhu dared not let Lin Bangshu go easily."

Li Yi raised his eyebrows: "So, if we want to interrogate Lin Daishu, we can only pass the Wang Zhuan."

"That's the reason." Zhao County Wei nodded slightly.

Li Yi glanced at Zhao County Wei deeply, then bowed to his goodbye.

Chu Ping also bowed to Zhao County Wei and chased after him in three or two steps.

Outside the house, Li Yi stood and waited for Chu Ping to chase him.

"Li Yi, why do I feel... strange?" Chu Ping turned around and looked at the house. "The county magistrate never gave in to the chief clerk before, and this time it seemed that he had made a little easier."

Li Yi smiled and said, "We Zhao County Wei is a clever man. We have mastered our skills in "retreat to advance"."

"Retreat as advance?" After mentioning, Chu Ping immediately woke up, "What do you mean... the county magistrate deliberately gave Lin Boushu to the Wang Zhuan?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "This case involves the son of a local dog owner. If he let him go, he cannot explain it to the superiors. If he doesn't let him go, the dog owner must have made up his mind behind his back. Now, the boss Wang took the initiative to speak out, and he, County Magistrate Zhao, sold his favor and lost trouble."

Chu Ping clasped his hands together and patted him: "So there is still this mystery inside!"

He added in a low voice: "The heart of being an official is really dirty!"

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that we're trouble. In this way, whether we can interrogate Lin's dissatisfaction will become a problem. By the way, what is the background of this King's Bookkeeper?"

If I remember correctly, Diao Nan's case was handled by this Wang Zhuan.

"The King's Bookkeeper," Chu Ping said a few times, "To put it, that person can be regarded as a legendary figure. It is said that he was originally a slave of a rich family in the local area. Later, the rich family passed away, and he married into the lady of the rich family and inherited the wealth of the rich family."

Li Yi trembled: "Then, not long after, the rich lady suddenly died of illness?"

Chu Ping widened his eyes: "You know this too? You are so amazing!"

Li Yi grinned. He was just guessing this time, and he had heard more of this kind of story.

I imagine that if a slave had not used some evil ways, he might not even have married into his family.

Chu Ping said again: "This king's chief clerk is also a kind-hearted person. Because he was froze and hungry in his early years, he dispersed all his family's wealth, built roads and bridges for the county, and distributed clothes and porridge for the poor, and finally his family was left with all walls."

"Then what?"

Chu Ping said: "Then... I don't know either. It is said that his kindness was appreciated by an adult. The adult led him into the officialdom and he gradually climbed to the current position of the chief clerk."

Li Yi nodded slowly: "Interesting, this King of Kings is indeed a legendary figure. Okay, you lead the way, let's go and meet this Kingsman for a while."

...

The King’s Office is not the King’s Officer at this time.

The king's clerk was sitting in the main seat and persuaded tea. The guest sitting on the other side of him was Lin Yu, the father of Lin Boushu.

"Mr. Wang, how about my son now?" Lin Yu drank a sip of tea and looked at the King's Bookman peacefully.

The Wang Zhuzhu comforted: "Brother Lin, don't worry. With my care, he can't even lose a hair. Once evidence is found to prove that he is innocent, he can release him immediately."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "I know very well my son. Although he is lustful, he does not have the courage to be lustful. He is definitely not able to do the trick of insulting the courtesan."

The Wang Zhuzhu laughed and said, "That's natural. I can naturally trust Brother Lin's tutor."

After chatting here for a while, a conversation came from outside the house. Soon a servant walked into the house and said to the chief clerk: "Sir, Chu Ping is asking for a meeting."

"Chu Ping?" Wang Zhuan was stunned. He was not unfamiliar with Chu Ping. He was the boss behind Diao Nan, so he naturally knew this guy who had always been fighting Diao Nan.

"What did he do when he saw me? Didn't he see that there are any guests here? I won't see you." The chief clerk waved his hand impatiently.

The officer stood there and did not move. He hesitated and said, "But... Chu Ping said that he had evidence that Lin Boushu was wronged."

"???" Wang Zhuzhu suddenly stood up, "Be serious? He, a little constable, still has this ability?"

"I also questioned his ability," said the servant, "but Chu Ping said that the strange man next to him could definitely solve the case."

"Strange man? Whose strange man is it?"
