Chapter 211 Dog bites dog ghost eats ghost
The next morning, Lord Cui, who had prepared a lot of cash, sent someone to ask for Li Chi. He did not dare to ask for General Xiahou, but it should be fine to ask for Master Li. After all, Master Li did not say that he did not like to be disturbed.
Lord Cui thinks Li Chi is a good person, the kind of good person who can disturb me at any time as long as you use money to disturb me.
The person who came said that Lord Cui asked Li Chi to go to the government office. Li Chi replied that he knew and told you that I will arrive later.
Then Li Chi happily went to Xiahou Zhuo, who was practicing martial arts in the yard. In the middle of winter, he was bare-handed and held a stone lock in his hands.
Li Chi said as he walked, "You won't take it first, there's something wrong."
The two stone locks in Xiahou Zhuo almost fell to the ground. He glared at Li Chi and said, "Can you not use the word "not to raise"? Isn't it good to use individual words?"
Li Chi said: "Don't stop lifting it."
Xiahou Zhuo raised the stone lock and chased him, and Li Chi walked around the pillar.
Li Chi said: "It seems that Lord Cui has taken the bait. He just sent someone to invite me to the government office to meet. I guess he has realized it."
Xiahou Zhuo put down the stone lock, took the towel handed to him by his personal soldiers, wiped the sweat and said, "You guess how much money can you cheat?"
Li Chi calculated with his fingers: "Liu Wenju's property is not an exaggeration to make money every day in Xinzhou City. At least one-third of this money will be in Cui Hansheng's pocket. The most conservative estimate is that Liu Wenju has 100,000 taels of silver, so Cui Hansheng's hand will not be less than 50,000 taels, because there are more than Liu Wenju who gives him money."
Xiahou Zhuo calculated that 50,000 taels of silver, calculated based on the pension of ten taels per person, was not enough to pay the fallen soldiers.
He looked at Li Chi, who probably understood from his expression and nodded: "I'll work hard."
Xiahou Zhuo clenched his fists: "Believe in yourself!"
Li Chi: "..."
Soon after, Li Chi arrived at the Xinzhou Prefecture Office. Cui Hansheng and Lord Cui were already waiting anxiously, and paced back and forth in the room. When he heard that Li Chi had arrived, he hurriedly welcomed him out.
"Mr. Li, I'm so sorry. I'm going to bother you to come here in person. It was supposed to be my visit, but I'm afraid that General Xiahou would disturb the rest..."
Li Chi waved his hand, his face very gloomy, which made Cui Hansheng's heart suddenly tighten.
He found that Li Chi's face was very bad, very bad. He seemed to have encountered many troubles just now, and not only were these troublesome things too many, they must have been quite small.
"Mr. Li?"
Cui Hansheng was embarrassed to talk about his own affairs directly, so he asked tentatively: "Is this, what happened to bother you?"
Li Chi sat down without answering, sat there for a while, and then slapped the table with a snap.
"This waste Liu Wenju!"
He slapped the table with his palm, and the table immediately fell apart, and the tea sets on the table were also scattered all over the floor, falling to pieces.
Li Chi looked at Cui Hansheng and said, "This is the person you recommended to me?! After Liu Wenju arrived at Daizhou Pass, she first angered General Xiahou. General Xiahou thought that he had sent military pay without any worries. After he knew that Prince Wu had arrived at Daizhou Pass, he actually bypassed General Xiahou and ran directly to meet Prince Wu!"
Cui Hansheng was shocked. The information revealed in these few words was enough to make people scary. Bypass General Xiahou and ask for a meeting with Prince Wu, let alone not to see him or her. How could Liu Wenju dare to do such a taboo in the officialdom?
Li Chi said: "I only now know why General Xiahou is so cold to you. It's all because of that Liu Wenju, a businessman, dares to do such a rampant thing. You even say that he is capable of doing things?!"
Cui Hansheng raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat that appeared in the instant, and quickly apologized: "Then Liu Wenju is really too bold."
Chu Li said: "That's not all. Do you think the matter is over? General Xiahou heard that Liu Wenju was going to ask for Prince Wu, and in anger, he killed Liu Wenju."
"ah!"
Cui Hansheng's face suddenly turned pale.
Li Chi said: "I advised me for a long time last night. General Xiahou's anger has not yet subsided. Do you think he is just cold to you? When I was drinking with me last night, I asked three or four times, what should Cui Hansheng do?"
Cui Hansheng actually knelt down with a plop.
He was a dignified master of the Mansion, but he actually knelt down like this.
Cui Hansheng said while wiping his sweat, "Please ask Mr. Li to save me."
Li Chi said, "Get up first, I temporarily stabilized Xiahou last night, but his anger has not subsided. You should have known it. Before Mr. Xiahou came, Liu Wenju's family sent several trucks of silver to Daizhou Pass. The silver was not what General Xiahou wanted, but Liu Wenju wanted to offer it to Prince Wu."
He pointed to Cui Hansheng's nose and said, "Who are you using this! He wanted to curry favor with Prince Wu directly, but he didn't know that he wouldn't see Prince Wu at all. Prince Wu may not know about those cars of silver. He was just a little counselor under Prince Wu's tent and could stop him."
"I didn't curry favor with Prince Wu and lost my life. That's fine. After all, the one who died was Liu Wenju who was scattered in and out of the way."
Li Chi continued, "But I can't curry favor with Prince Wu, you have offended General Xiahou. What do you think you should do about this?"
Cui Hansheng said, "I will listen to you all, Mr. Li, you must save me."
After Li Chi sighed, his tone calmed down.
"It's not too late for you to make up for it now."
Li Chi said: "Before Prince Yu has not arrived yet, you should make up for it and let General Xiahou be relieved. If you can't do it, the prince will arrive in Xinzhou and General Xiahou will tell the prince about you. Don't talk about your future, you may be killed."
Li Chi leaned over and looked at Cui Hansheng's eyes and said, "If I didn't think you are a person who knows the current affairs, and also think about your humble study, I would come to tell you this? General Xiahou is still angry, and I should avoid you."
Cui Hansheng thuded and knocked his head to the ground.
"Young Master Li, save me, Young Master Li."
Li Chi reached out and helped Cui Hansheng up: "Look, you are so scared that you have no idea. How could you be an official for so many years?"
He helped Cui Hansheng up and said, "Now I will show you a clear way. Think about it, General Xiahou is angry. Are you angry with you?"
Cui Hansheng felt a little brighter when he said this. He replied tentatively: "It should be, it should be that he was angry with Liu Wenju."
"yes."
Li Chi patted Cui Hansheng on the shoulder: "Liu Wenju, a man who deceived his superiors and subordinates in Xinzhou City, has committed crimes. Over the years, he has secretly destroyed many families. As a parent official in Xinzhou, you have heard of it for a long time and have sent someone to investigate it secretly. It just so happened that you found Liu Wenju's multiple crimes at this time..."
Li Chi blinked at Cui Hansheng, and Cui Hansheng immediately woke up. If he didn't understand what Li Chi meant, he would be really an idiot.
"I understand, I understand!"
Cui Hansheng said with a little excited expression: "I will arrange for someone to search Liu Wenju's house. This bastard is cheating the people and killing innocent people. This is not serious. What's more serious is that he actually colluded with the rebels!"
Li Chi nodded: "Mr. Cui is wise."
Cui Hansheng continued: "After I found out, I immediately took someone to seize all the industries and all the items under Liu Wenju's name. General Xiahou happened to be in Xinzhou, so I felt that the case should be handed over to General Xiahou for disposal. Of course, the seizure proceeds must also be handed over to General Xiahou."
Li Chi lowered his voice in Cui Hansheng's ear and said, "Do you know why I want to give me some of these?"
Cui Hansheng said: "It was Mr. Li who saved me, Mr. Li who was very kind and virtuous."
Li Chi snorted: "Bad, Liu Wenju has given you a lot of money over the years. You must be unclear between you and him. I will hand over the case to you and deal with it yourself. When you hand it over to General Xiahou, can't you take yourself out? I can't just clean it up."
Cui Hansheng's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Li, you are no different from my reborn parents, Cui."
Cui Hansheng bent over and bowed again.
Li Chi smiled and said, "I was worried about your business. After learning about General Xiahou's thoughts last night, I sent someone to find evidence overnight and happened to find something about Liu Wenju..."
Li Chi paused for a moment, then looked at Cui Hansheng and said, "Liu Wenju's family imprisoned a man named Liu Shanshen, right? Liu Shanshen used to be an official in Jizhou, but later resigned and came to Xinzhou to surrender to him. As a result, he was greedy for the beauty of Liu Shanshen's daughter and wanted to kill people to silence him. Now Liu Shanshen's family of three has been rescued by me, right next to General Xiahou."
The cold sweat that Cui Hansheng had just fallen out suddenly appeared again.
Li Chi said: "Mr. Cui, you have nothing to do with this matter, right?"
"No, no, nothing to do!"
Cui Hansheng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I really don't know anything. I don't know that this is true. This Liu Wenju is really, really too bold!"
Li Chi said: "I have helped you solve this certificate, and it depends on what you do next."
After Li Chi said that, he stood up: "I still have to persuade Xiahou. He was going to order you to be arrested today. I am stopping it. You'd better handle Liu Wenju's case within two days. Otherwise, if Xiahou wants to kill someone, no one can stop him. He can kill Liu Wenju in Prince Wu's army. Don't you dare to kill you? Don't forget that Prince Wu and General Xiahou are all uncles and nephews, what is Liu Wenju?"
After saying that, Li Chi left. Cui Hansheng nodded and bowed, and sent him to the yamen in person. After Li Chi left, Cui Hansheng realized that his clothes were almost wet.
After returning to the study, he sat down on the chair, feeling cold all over. Sweat made his clothes stick to his body, feeling very uncomfortable, and what was even more uncomfortable was in his heart.
"Come!"
Cui Hansheng thought for a while and stood up and ordered loudly: "Send people to gather all the servants of our mansion, mobilize 300 soldiers from the wings to come over, and ask the Chief of the Mansion to come over immediately and join me to confiscate Liu Wenju's house!"
Shortly after the order was issued, the chief Han Tong and the chief inspector Qi Dian rushed over.
The three adults rushed straight to Liu Wenju's house with a fierce momentum. On the way, Cui Hansheng told Liu Wenju about it. He was already dissatisfied with Liu Wenju and was afraid that Liu Wenju would climb onto his head. When he got the opportunity, he would naturally be even more ruthless.
"Anyone who knows the accounts between us will be killed without any hesitation."
Cui Hansheng said: "You two go to do it separately. Lord Han led his troops to copy Liu Wenju's casino brothel, and all the money must be sealed."
"Qi Dian, follow me to Liu Wenju's house... I will not leave any one who knows about you and me!"
He looked at Qi Dian and said, "Registration Book, be sure to find the account book!"
Meanwhile, Li Chi lived.
Xiahou Zhuo asked Li Chi, "What will Cui Hansheng do if you go to see Cui Hansheng?"
Li Chi shrugged: "Dog bites dogs, ghosts eat ghosts, let them kill themselves."
