How is it possible that stolen treasury silver is still circulating in the market?
The magistrate of Qiantang County felt that he must have misunderstood, or perhaps Li Gongfu had said something wrong.
It sounds like a joke anyway.
He sneered: "Li Gongfu, is what you said true?"
Li Gongfu in the audience did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, and respectfully handed the collected silver to the county magistrate, "Sir, you see, this is the stolen treasury silver, and it was discovered accidentally by the police on the street.
of."
County magistrate: "..."
He took the treasury silver suspiciously. The mark on it was clear. It was obviously the treasury silver previously stored in the Qiantang County warehouse.
It's the official silver that needs to be handed over.
Suddenly, the county magistrate asked with a straight face: "Li Gongfu, didn't you tell me yesterday that the theft of treasury silver was the result of a combination of ghosts and demons?
Then tell me now, why did this ingot of silver appear on the market and why was it discovered by you by chance?
How can there be such a coincidence in the world!"
Anyway, he didn't believe it.
Is what you said true? Is Li Gongfu involved in this matter?
For a moment, the Qiantang County magistrate couldn't help but become suspicious.
"this……"
The county magistrate said something that made him a little confused, "Sir, I don't know about this either. I have already asked my brothers in the government office to investigate the source of this treasury silver circulation."
"Yes." The county magistrate nodded slightly and continued: "You did the right thing. Find out the source first. I don't believe that we can't find the source. Once we find out who leaked it, we can naturally catch it by following the clues.
To the murderer!"
As for the theory that ghosts, gods and demons had stolen it, he didn't believe it now. Maybe it was Li Gongfu's excuse yesterday in order to evade responsibility.
snort!
This is Li Gongfu.
Let’s wait until the case is solved.
Now let’s figure out the money matter first, otherwise he won’t be able to do anything at the top.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate continued: "Li Gongfu, go and keep an eye on the source of Chakuyin's outflow. You must understand this matter."
Li Gongfu nodded, "Yes, sir, please rest assured. I will definitely investigate this matter clearly and ensure that the murderer is caught to your satisfaction."
County magistrate: "Well..."
He immediately left with his hands behind his back.
Li Gongfu looked a little embarrassed. When he saw that the county magistrate had already left, he left on his own.
have to.
Since the county magistrate ignored me, I might as well go investigate the case myself.
Maybe we can catch the murderer. "I guess what the guy surnamed Jiang said is wrong. Any talk of ghosts and monsters joining forces is all fake."
Chinese lies to oneself.
Jiang Chi is not a hermit, he is clearly a charlatan, and only a simple man like his brother-in-law Xu Xian could be deceived.
Him before.
Um.
Probably an exception.
After all, I might have been anxious at the time, so I believed it by mistake.
Now.
He'd better go investigate the case.
It would also be a good thing for him to find out the source of the outflow of Treasury silver as soon as possible. It will be up to the magistrate to solve the problem at that time.
It has nothing to do with yourself.
However, it seems that it is not as easy as imagined to find the source of the outflow of Treasury silver.
After Li Gongfu rushed over, a group of police officers still couldn't find out clearly, mainly because it was not easy to find out.
Because they have changed hands several times.
By the time they found out, it was already night time.
But at this time, Li Gongfu's heart was not at peace, and could even be described as extremely complicated.
Because the source they found was very special, so special that Li Gongfu couldn't laugh or cry, and his face became ugly for a while.
Somewhat incredible.
——Xu Xian.
The first person to take out the silver coins was Li Gongfu's brother-in-law Xu Xian, the same brother-in-law who had discussed solving the case with him yesterday.
That Xu Hanwen!
He...he was actually the first person to use Kuyin.
But.
You know, the treasury silver was stolen. Doesn't this mean that Li Gongfu's brother-in-law Xu Xian is inextricably linked to the treasury silver theft case.
Regardless of whether he is the murderer or not, this incident is inseparable from Xu Xian.
Li Gongfu has even thought about the consequences. It is certain that the county magistrate will know about this matter, so Xu Xian will be punished no matter whether there is someone behind him or not.
"By the time……"
When he thought of this, Li Gongfu felt a little shocked and a little uncomfortable.
After all, Xu Xian is his brother-in-law.
After all, they are his relatives.
But now that it is related to the case of treasury bank theft, the result is different.
It also made him a little confused.
Even if Li Gongfu wanted to resolve this matter privately, it would not work. The matter had long been spread on the street, and it is estimated that it has reached the ears of the county magistrate by now.
He wanted to plead for Xu Xian, but when he thought of the angry expression on the county magistrate's face, he felt a little numb.
There was a moment of discomfort.
How come my brother-in-law is involved? This...
He suddenly felt angry.
It was obvious that Xu Xian knew about the theft of treasury silver, and it was obvious that he went to the Jiang Mansion with him yesterday.
"No, it can't be in Chinese. He probably won't lie to me. Judging from his expression yesterday, he may really not know, but the county magistrate and others may not believe it."
Li Gongfu only felt pain in his head, and he felt uncomfortable in waves.
If he sends Xu Xian to the execution hall, maybe Xu Jiaorong at home doesn't know how to make trouble with him.
besides.
Will this matter make the county magistrate suspect Li Gongfu? This is also an extremely troublesome matter.
Very depressed.
Li Gongfu did not go to Xu Xian that night. He was thinking about how to reduce Xu Xian's guilt.
The second day.
Qiantang County County Government.
"What?" The county magistrate looked at Li Gongfu in surprise, "You said the source of the treasury silver flowing out is actually Xu Xian? Is that your brother-in-law?"
"Yes."
Li Gongfu nodded helplessly, with a dejected look on his face, "Sir, I don't know what happened to this matter. The results found out yesterday are like this. It's... it's really unbelievable.
You must also know that my brother-in-law Xu Xian is just an ordinary person, a weak scholar.
Normally he doesn't even think anything of stealing small things, but this time he was definitely wronged in the case of theft of treasury silver. Please be aware of everything."
County Magistrate: "..."
Clearly aware of everything?
How is he so perceptive?
hehe!
He said coldly with a cold face: "Why, do you think Xu Xian was wronged? But the bank silver indeed flowed out of his hands, so what's the explanation?"
"this……"
Li Gongfu was immediately confused. He really didn't know.
For a moment, he was questioned by the county magistrate and did not know how to answer. Xu Xian indeed had no criminal record before.
But what if.
It might be hopeless.
"Come here, go and arrest Xu Xian for interrogation. This money leaked from his hands. You will know if he is the murderer behind the scenes." The county magistrate said with a cold face.
His expression became serious.
Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Xu Xian or not, Xu Xian is in bad luck, and touching Ku Yin is a grave sin.
"Sir, this matter..."
Li Gongfu wanted to continue to say something, but was interrupted by the county magistrate, "Okay, don't say anything more about this matter. Regardless of the merits, I will naturally have a fair judge."
Li Gongfu: "Uh..."
The county magistrate had said this, so what else could he do but retreat in despair.
