Qian Gu, the magistrate of Sun Magistrate of Dingyuan County, was surnamed Wu and was a scholar. Because he failed the exam for many years, he had to commit himself to become the magistrate of Sun Magistrate and earned a living by relying on his pen. He was about to wash his feet and go to bed just now, but suddenly he fainted. When he woke up, he found that he was sitting in a strange house with a strange man sitting in front of him.

"Who are you?" Master Wu was shocked. Just as he was about to stand up, his legs suddenly felt sore and he fell to the ground with a "plop". He stared at the man opposite him in a daze, feeling really uneasy.

Of course, the man opposite was Li Weizheng. He glanced at the master in front of him, took out the Jinyiwei waist card and shook it in front of him, and said coldly: "Someone secretly reported that your county magistrate participated in the rebellion case of Li Shanchang. I was ordered to come to investigate. If you refuse to cooperate, I will list you as a member of Li Shanchang."

Master Wu saw that the person coming was actually the Jinyiwei and was investigating the Li Shanchang case. He was so scared that he trembled all over. His nose and tears flowed down. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I have a 90-year-old mother above and a three-year-old child below. I have to support me. Please give me a mercy and never kill me."

"Whether to kill you depends on your performance." Li Weizheng smiled sinisterly and said, "I need to know all the background information of your magistrate and say everything you know. I will think you only had a dream tonight, otherwise...hehehe!"

"I say! I say!" Master Wu knew that Sun Magistrate Sun had some background, and it was very likely that his background was involved in the Li Shanchang case. He had no doubt at all and said: "This Magistrate Sun is a distant relative of the Zuodu Censor Zhan Hui. He was originally the prefect of Chizhou. He was demoted to the chief clerk of Jiangning County because the official warehouse was stolen. Once he drank and said smugly, saying that the reason why he was able to be promoted from the chief clerk of Jiangning County to the chief clerk of Dingyuan County was because King Zhu Cheng of Qin greeted the Ministry of Personnel."

'King of Qin Zhu Chuang!' These four words seemed to be a flame illuminating the dark corner. Li Wei seemed to think of something. King of Qin Zhu Chuang was Zhu Yuanzhang's second son. If Zhu Biao was assassinated, according to the inheritance system of the eldest son, it is very likely that he would inherit the throne.

Li Wei was thinking behind his back, "Is it possible that the Dingyuan assassination was not done by King Yan, but by the Qin King Zhu Ceng?"

Li Weizheng suddenly felt a little confused. Because he knew that in history, King Yan Zhu Di, took the nephew's king, subconsciously brought the assassination on Zhu Di, and it made sense to reason, but today's unexpected gains were clues of King Qin Zhu Chuang.

But if the Qin King Zhu Chuang wanted to assassinate the prince, he would not need to frame Lan Yu, nor even assassinate in Dingyuan County. Going south a little further, it would be more remote and easier to start. How can this be explained?

Li Weizheng couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he temporarily put it aside and returned to the case in front of him. It was obvious that two families in Lan Yu's mansion were missing. One stole a secret letter and hid it. The other learned about it because he lent twenty coins of money. In order to invite rewards, he went to Beijing to file a secret lawsuit on the excuse of chasing money. As a result, it attracted the sudden investigation of the case by Magistrate Sun, and the Lan family did not report the case. From this, it can be inferred that Magistrate Sun was indeed instructed by someone. Could this person be the King of Qin Zhu Chuang?

He asked the master again without saying a word, "Then I'll ask you again, have your county magistrates have had any abnormal behavior these days?"

"Can you please be more specific?" Master Wu asked timidly.

"Are you more specific? The time is about five days ago. Did your magistrate meet anyone?"

‘Five days ago?’ Master Wu fell into deep thought. His mind suddenly flashed and he immediately said: “By the way, Magistrate Sun bought a house outside shortly after he came to Dingyuan County. A few days ago, he always ordered people to go to Magistrate Sun to deliver food. His wife thought Magistrate Sun had raised a baby outside and had a night of trouble, but later it became silent.”

"what else?"

"And..." Master Wu thought for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "There is also the corruption of Magistrate Sun, and this bastard actually has a short-sleeved habit. Last time I took a shower...."

"Okay!" Li Weizheng interrupted him, "You are acting very well. Now I need you to take my entourage to his house, and then talk about the clues about Magistrate Sun's corruption. There is no other matter with you. My investigation is carried out in secret. No one can tell you, including your wife, do you understand?"

"The villain understands, the villain will lead the way now." Master Wu agreed in a panic and took Yang Ning there.

About half an hour later, Yang Ning came back, and Master Wu had been sent home, and Yang Ning brought the exact news.

"Report to the leader, there are no one in the house. I tortured a servant and said that there were more than a dozen people living there a few days ago. They had left three days ago and their whereabouts were unknown."

Li Wei frowned, and his whereabouts were unknown. How could he investigate this? He walked a few steps behind his back and made up his mind. It seemed that he had to find the county magistrate Sun for this matter.

At this time, it was just midnight, and later generations were the climax of nightlife, but there was a lack of entertainment in the early Ming Dynasty, and everyone had fallen asleep. The county town was silent, and black fog covered the streets and alleys. I only heard the updater shouting weakly: "Close the doors and windows, prevent fire and theft."

Li Weizheng and Yang Ning had already arrived at the back door of the county government office. Inside the wall was the magistrate's back garden. The wall was towering and difficult to climb over. Yang Ning glanced at it and saw a big tree close to the courtyard wall. He pointed his hand and whispered: "Captain, go up from there."

Yang Ning took the tree and flew lightly to the wall. He took a roll of rope from his waist and threw it high. "Chief, tie it to his waist, I'll pull you up."

Li Wei was shaking his head, climbing up the tree and jumping onto the wall. He looked at the surroundings and said, "Okay, let's go down."

After climbing over the wall, it became much easier. With Li Weizheng's familiarity with the county government, they quickly found the bedroom of Sun Magistrate's County pointed out by Zhang Erhu.

The bedroom is located in the middle of a row of bungalows, facing the garden with the back window. The two of them hid under a cluster of green bamboos. With a "click!", Yang Ning pried open the back window, and a faint fragrance floated out. The room was very quiet and you could hear a slight snoring. Yang Ning went in first. After a moment, he was nodding to Li Wei. Li Wei was jumping and jumping into the room gently without any sound.

‘Not bad.’ Li Wei is becoming more and more satisfied with himself.

"Who!" someone suddenly shouted in the darkness, but then he was silent and heard the sound of a man and a woman 'woo!'. Li Wei was looking for a chair to sit down, looking at Sun Magistrate of Dingyuan County in the darkness with a smile.

Magistrate Sun was naked and obese. He was half kneeling on the ground, his body was restrained by Yang Ning, unable to speak, his eyes were full of anger, staring at Li Weizheng.

"You don't have to be angry, you will soon cry." Li Wei was taking off the Jinyiwei waist card, swaying the back without words in front of Sun Magistrate Sun, and said coldly: "According to the order of his superiors, we will come to investigate the corruption case of Sun Hao, the magistrate of Dingyuan County, when he was in Chizhou Prefecture."

The anger in the eyes of Magistrate Sun suddenly turned into extremely frightened. When he was in Chizhou, he had greedy for a lot of money in the official treasury. In order to cover up his crime, he instructed the thief Chizhou Feishi to steal the official treasury. Although he was demoted to the chief clerk, he saved his life. This matter was very secret, and the Chizhou Feishi was also dead. He thought that the matter had been hidden, but unexpectedly it was suddenly revealed.

Magistrate Sun was so scared that his teeth were knocking up and down, making a crackling sound. Just next to his lobby, the former magistrate of Dingyuan County was wearing a scarecrow, which was still very fresh. Is it his turn in just a few days?

Yang Ning no longer needed Yang Ning's control, and County Magistrate Sun collapsed on the ground, like a pile of soft mud. Yang Ning searched the room very quickly. According to the clues provided by Master Wu, Yang Ning found thirty gold ingots from the cracks of the bed and the wall in a moment, each weighing about a hundred taels. It counts as much as three thousand taels of gold, and some letters to communicate.

Li Wei was picking up a letter, taking out the letter paper and looking at it quickly, and couldn't help but sneer at him: "The evidence is conclusive, what else should County Magistrate Sun say?"

Magistrate Sun was trembling all over, and he couldn't say a word on the ground. His eyes showed a look of despair. The person who was stolen with 60 taels of silver died. Before he came to Dingyuan County to take office, he had just exchanged the money he had greedy for years for gold. Before he could hold it in heat, he was found by the Jinyiwei. Can he still survive? Li Wei glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "Of course, I can also pretend that I didn't see anything, it depends on your cooperation."

"You can keep your word?" Magistrate Sun saw hope for life again in despair. He sat up and asked in a trembling voice.

Li Wei was slowly lowering his head, staring at his eyes and whispering: "Who sent those people who lived in your house a few days ago?"

Magistrate Sun trembled all over, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes. He suddenly understood that the Jinyiwei in front of him was not here to investigate his corruption, but for the letter of the missing Lan Yu Mansion. How did he know that he was also involved in this matter?

The corruption incident was revealed, and he would definitely die, but if he betrayed the King of Qin, he would not survive either. Magistrate Sun was extremely conflicted. He lowered his head, his muscles on his face were twisted, as if he was in extreme pain.

Li Wei was looking at him coldly, waiting for his reply. He knew that Sun Magistrate would definitely have a choice. Sun Magistrate swallowed and suddenly said, "If I say it, can you leave something for me?"

Li Wei was picking out ten ingots of gold with his feet and pushing it to him.

"Okay! I said." Magistrate Sun asked for some of the gold to be returned just to test Li Weizheng's attitude. Will he really care about his corruption? Since he returned a thousand taels of gold, it means that he was not for his corruption. He let go of his heart slightly, and he said, "If I say it, I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

Li Weizheng still said nothing and looked at him coldly.

Magistrate Sun gritted his teeth and said, "It was the one sent by the King of Qin. I only know that the person in the leader is a scholar in his forties. He has a sarcoma on his nose. They went to Huangzhou Prefecture three days ago, and I don't know the others."

Li Wei was giving Yang Ning a wink. The two of them took away twenty ingots of gold and quickly disappeared into the night. The moonlight in the room was cold and sprinkled on the pale and godless face of Magistrate Sun.
