The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn - Chapter 589

   Chapter 589 589 Burning warehouse

  Wang Zhi and the others simply cleaned the dust on their bodies, and came to Lin Su to tell them how they found the fire. Lin Su wrote down Wang Zhi’s words and asked him to sign the painting and let him go.

   Then he asked a few guards, and a sturdy guard said to Lin Su, “Master Lin, I was resting in the room, and suddenly I ran out when I heard Wang Zhi shouting for water.”

   The tall and thin officer said, “When Wang Zhi came, he was talking about having dinner with Hou Wen. He felt sick to his stomach, did he eat something unclean.”

  Lin Su looked at a few people, “Then have you found any suspicious people who entered the county office?”

   Several people said in unison: “No, we only ran out of the house after hearing the shouting.”

  Lin Su recorded the words of several people, asked them to sign and sign, got up and walked to the backyard.

When Li Qing saw him come back and let him sit down, he said, “Mr. Lin, Brother Liang and the others have found out about the administration of Lexian County. In fact, it was the county magistrate Wang who was in charge, and he sent his family away early. The energy of the ya government affairs is also gone. Why didn’t he submit his resignation to the court? He had to hold on until his term expired. Also, why did his wife leave her seriously ill husband and leave with the child, so that he would not be afraid of his illness? Get up, can’t you go back?”

  Lin Su frowned and stroked his chin beard, “Yeah! I’ve thought about this too, do you think he’s not pretending to be sick?”

  Li Qing felt that Master Lin’s thoughts coincided with him, nodded and said, “There is a possibility, then let’s let Brother Hu and the others go to the inn to investigate.”

   “Okay, they’re back, I’ll tell them now.” Master Lin left to look for Hu Zhong.

  Liang Cheng went back and changed into a dark tan, took the mask and walked towards Canghu, northwest of the city. There is not even a single star in the sky, and I can’t see my fingers.

   After half an hour, Liang Cheng arrived at Cangxuan in Lexian County.

  I saw that the gate of Cangxuan was closed, and a suffocating wind lantern hung high outside the door, emitting a dim yellow light.

Liang Chengmao leaned on his waist and turned to a slightly lower place under the wall of Cang Huo. He took a long breath, stepped forward, and stepped on the ground with the soles of his feet. The wall turned over and jumped into the courtyard. After entering, I found that there are nine warehouses in it.

Liang Cheng walked towards the one closest to him, walked to the door and pushed the wooden door lightly, and the door opened with a creaking sound. Liang Cheng looked around, walked in and blew the fire, only to see that it was empty and the ground was still on the ground. Lots of grains scattered.

  Liang Cheng walked out from the inside and walked towards the other room, and saw that there were some sorghum rice piled up inside, and it was only the bottom of the warehouse.

   After walking through several rooms, I found that some had small half warehouses of old grain, and some had no grain at all. Liang Cheng strolled around in it and no one came out to check it out, so he walked lightly to the hut at the gate.

   When he walked to the door, he heard a snoring sound that almost pierced through the roof, and I saw two warehouse managers, sleeping in all directions.

  Liang Cheng spit, and was about to retreat to the courtyard wall to climb over the wall, when he suddenly heard someone approaching the gate, but in a short while, he saw a dagger sticking through the crack of the door, flipping the latch.

   Sure enough, someone came! Liang Cheng simply stood there still, waiting for someone to come in.

   After more than ten breaths, the door bolt was placed on the ground, and the door was gently pushed open. A masked man walked in with a sharp knife in his hand, turned around and closed the door.

Liang Cheng slapped his neck with a palm, the man quickly tilted his head, dodged a blow, stabbed Liang Cheng with a knife, Liang Cheng sideways dodged, his left hand pinched his wrist like an iron claw, and the masked man’s hand The sharp knife fell to the ground,

   his right hand clenched his fist and slammed into the door of the other side, and then kicked the man out and slammed it against the wall.

   “Dead?” Liang Cheng stepped forward and broke his head, only to see black blood flowing out of his nose and mouth, and his breath was gone. Liang Cheng searched him, glanced at the library manager who was sleeping soundly on the bed, closed the door, climbed over the wall and disappeared into the night.

   went back to the county office, saw Li Qing put a water bag on his table, and told Li Qing about Cangyu’s situation and the man in black.

“Master, I left that person in Cangxi. I found that he was carrying a water bag, and the water bag was filled with kerosene. Fortunately, I went to Cangxi tonight, otherwise, everyone would have discovered the warehouse by now. Go on fire.”

   Li Qing slapped his palm on the table angrily, “The nine warehouses are all empty, how dare you be so blatant, where did the grain go? Did the government and businessmen collude and sell it?”

  Lin Su frowned and said, “Even if the officials and businessmen collude, they wouldn’t dare to vacate the warehouse! There must be something we don’t know about. Sir, we can’t let the magistrate Liu go easily.”

  Li Qing nodded, took a breath, and said to Liang Cheng, “Brother Liang, you’ve worked hard.”

  Liang Cheng smiled nonchalantly, “Master, I see that the water in Lexian County is very deep, and you can’t leave anyone by your side. I will **** you from tomorrow.”

  Li Qing got up and saluted Liang Cheng: “Thank you, Brother Liang.”

  Liang Cheng hurriedly returned the salute and said, “You are too polite, I will go back first.”

   After Liang Cheng left, Li Qing and Lin Su discussed ways to deal with Liu County magistrate.

Lin Su thought about it and said again: “Xianzun, how vicious these people are, when you arrived in Lexian, the county government started to catch fire one after another, and the people were ignorant. Then they would spread some rumors and say that you brought the fire. Burn the warehouse and burn their life-saving food.”

   Li Qing shuddered after hearing this, and gritted his teeth: “We can only force magistrate Liu to tell what he knows.”

  ****

  Liu County magistrate and Liu Shiye also learned that the account books were burned. Master Liu looked at Magistrate Liu with a smile on his face, “I guessed right! Wang Ping is more anxious than us!”

  Liu County magistrate also felt relieved, and sighed: “Alas! I didn’t expect them to be so courageous that they dared to set fire to those account books.”

  Master Liu stood up and rubbed his face, “That’s all right, now Li can’t find a reason not to go through the handover formalities with us. I’ll go clean up, and we’ll set off after the handover.”

  Ding Yi was lying under the porch of the inn rented by Liu County magistrate, watching the two lowered their voices, what were they discussing? Ding Yi looked at Liu County Magistrate’s actions and felt that he didn’t look like someone infected with an incurable disease at all.

   After returning to the county office, Ding Yi told Li Qing what he saw. Ding Yi’s discovery confirmed Li Qing’s guess, and the county magistrate Liu was feigning illness.

   The next day, Tiangang Mengliang Hu Zhong went to Canghu in the northwest corner of West Street.

   hid in a tree not far from the warehouse. After half an hour, he saw a person running out of the warehouse in a hurry.

  Hu Zhong followed and decorated him.
