What does it mean to refer to a deer as a horse, and what does it mean to turn black and white into a black and white? This time Li Ling has truly seen it. If he says this, I am afraid that the magistrate of Wei County should not only not punish him, but also reward him as a cadre. Therefore, the word "official" is not something that ordinary people can deal with when talking about rules and quibbling.

Not to mention the people, even the boss and official Wei Liang, he said that he didn't know how to deal with it. He frowned and thought about countermeasures. Cao Jin behind him could not come up with a clear idea for the time being, and was also thinking hard.

Seeing this, Zhuang Hong's momentum became even stronger and immediately said: "If the county master does not believe it, you can ask the relevant people in the county yamen, and they can testify for the subordinates. Ordinary people may not know the inside story of the yamen, and we all know it." As he spoke, Feng Ping had already shrugged.

The latter understood and quickly coughed, "Mr. Zhuang Hong's words are indeed true. Other officials can't remember clearly, but I still have some impression of some of the entertainments in the past two years. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, a government official came to check the accounts. In half a month, we were entertained, and the daily hospitality fee was more than three taels of silver, and we even gave some thoughts when we left. In October, the young master of Governor Xue of Lianghuai passed by, and we even took out a hundred taels of silver to think Cheng Yi..." This man was really good at memorizing, and he reported seven or eight items of us for delivery at once. If he put them together, he would have thousands of taels of silver.

"By the way, in early February this year, Mr. Fang retired and returned home. The cost and expenses of the banquet for nearly a whole month were also the intentions of our county government. However, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works returned to his hometown. Our county government naturally had to express it well. This sum alone cost no less than 3,000 taels of silver..." In the end, Zhuang Hong slowly revealed such a big killing weapon, and then looked at the stuttering county magistrate Wei with a smile, "Sir, the officials didn't want to tell these things clearly, but now someone is going to misunderstand the officials, so I have to tell the truth. I hope you can understand it clearly." It means that I was forced to tell all the inside story.

The people outside the hall were already buzzing and talking nonsense, so they naturally didn't know about these things. First, they were amazed, and then they felt a pain. They were all the money they had earned hard, and they were actually given favors by officials.

"Sir, although these exchanges have not been accounted for, the officials and others can testify. In this way, you and Li Ling have indeed misunderstood Zhuang Dianshi." Feng Ping finally concluded, "If he was to be convicted of greed for the ink, it would be too heartbroken to the officials who were sincerely responsible."

Seeing that the situation was turning around and he couldn't respond for a while, Wei Liang felt confused and finally decided to leave the house for a while, discuss with others before taking another step. But just as he touched the gavel, a person next to him took a step forward and said, "The county lord forgives the crime, the grass people have a few words to ask Zhuang Dianshi."

He looked closely and found that it was Li Ling who stood up, which made the Wei County Magistrate a little happy. The movements in his hand stopped and nodded, "You are sure to ask for it, Zhuang Hong, you must answer the truth."

Zhuang Hong's eyebrows and eyes hopped a deep look at Li Ling, and agreed, "Sir, please follow the order, please ask."

"Zhuangdianshi, Caomin has not only checked some of the county's tax accounts that you handled in the past few days, but also looked through many bookkeeping certificates related to your family. Although it may not be accurate, there is roughly an estimate, that is, there are now as many shops under the name of your Zhuangdianshi and your brother Zhuangqiang, and most of them are distributed in the most prosperous and lively places in the county, such as Dongxie Street and Yaqian Street.

"In addition, there are thirteen houses and large and small houses under your name, with more than 520 acres of fertile land. There are sixty or seventy tenants who rent your land. As for the slaves who belong to your farmer, there are more than thirty people. I wonder if the summary of the grass people is correct?"

"You said it well. These are all well-documented by the county government. I don't know anything about it. Why, do you think there is something wrong with these industries?"

"The industry itself should not have any problems, but the value of the industries I estimate is a bit confusing. If I calculate well, the value of these industries should be more than 300,000 taels of silver. I wonder if it is right?"

Zhuang Hong's expression, which was originally calm and gentle, had become serious at this time, but before he could say anything, Li Ling continued: "It just happened that the problem arose again. Your banker was not a wealthy family before, how could he create such a huge family business in just over ten years? Just relying on your salary of less than ten taels of silver per month, or the casino brothels opened by Zhuang Qiang? Moreover, the casino brothels are also industries that have been opened in the past two years, and even the capital was opened by Zhuang Dianshi. I am very curious. Since you have not embezzled and accepted bribes, where did you earn so much money?"

Suddenly, Zhuang Hong was stopped by Li Ling. I was justifying you, why did you suddenly list the data? Can you still communicate well? Zhuang Dianshi, who was a little angry, wanted to come forward to teach this hateful young man a lesson. If this was not a court and he was not a defendant.

After stammering for a long time, he could only reply vaguely: "I have left all these things to my confidant to take care of. How it is done is the only way to ask them."

Seeing that he just avoided the important explanation, Li Ling smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Dianshi must have misunderstood. I asked you how you earn not to the present, but to the past, how your family could use a lot of money to buy many fields, houses and shops at the beginning. It doesn't matter if the adults really can't explain it clearly. As long as you send all the relevant accounts to the yamen, the grass-roots can calculate them one by one in front of everyone, and there will be no mistakes."

"You...what do you mean?" Zhuang Hong finally couldn't bear it and stared at Li Ling with a gloomy face and asked.

But Li Ling was not afraid of him at all, and looked at him just like him: "I'm very clear about what I mean. There is a big problem with the current property of your dealer. Even if you have several generations of people in your family, you cannot earn 300,000 taels of silver by normal means. The only explanation is that you use your power for personal gain, embezzle public funds for your own use, or take advantage of others' industries at an extremely low price, or even take a penny."

Li Ling became more confident when he talked about this. At present, the Great Yue Dynasty had never had a huge amount of property and was not known for his crime. As long as it was revealed by an official, he had a rich fortune that was not compatible with his own salary, it would be enough to determine that he had committed illegal acts such as corruption: "If Zhuang Dianshi felt that what I said was wrong, he could send all the books of the related industries. I would like to count them all in the county government. Not to mention that it was only a dozen years, even twenty or thirty years, it would be impossible for you to accumulate 300,000 taels of wealth so easily!"

Although the last few words were not loud, Li Ling had completely overwhelmed Zhuang Hong in his momentum. Although he breathed rapidly and his face was flushed, he could not say any rebuttal words when he opened his mouth.

Wei Liang above saw a surprise. He didn't expect that Li Ling could turn the world around. This young man was even more powerful than what he did, especially his familiarity and sensitivity to the accounts. He was simply a natural master of account check and financial management. At the moment, he no longer hesitated, and slapped the arson, staring at Zhuang Hong in a daze and shouted: "Zhuang Hong, you haven't come to the real thing yet! How much money and ointment have you embezzled over the years with your official power? And that night, was the arson Xu Fei assigned by you?"

Zhuang Hong's body suddenly shook, and corruption was small. If he really put the charge of setting fire to the cabinet, he would have finished it. He quickly forced himself to deny it: "Sir, I have never made such a decision. Even Xu Fei, it was also Li Ling's imagination..." At this point, as soon as he broke his voice, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his body trembled.

Because at this moment, Lin Lie and his men were escorting a man covered in blood and staggering steps from the side door. Although he did not know Xu Fei, he had already made a judgment in his heart at this moment that this person was Xu Fei!

"You are the county magistrate, this person is Xu Fei, the arsonist who was taken down by Li Ling that day. Somehow he was thrown into the county jail and suffered a lot!" Lin Lie stepped forward to report the report, but it made the people outside the hall exclaim again.

Originally, everyone was speculating whether Li Ling had sued before whether someone wanted to set fire to the cabinet or not. After all, this was too serious, but apart from his one-sided remark, there was no further evidence. Now, as the arson prisoner was taken to the lobby, all the questions were completely resolved and implemented.

At this moment, everyone's eyes changed completely when they looked at Zhuang Hong again. The previous awe had dissipated, and it was a gloating, and it was a "You have today too!"

Zhuang Hong's body began to tremble slightly. He looked at Feng Ping and others as if he wanted help, but this time, they stopped talking. At this point, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the crime. All they thought about now was how to remove themselves from this incident.

"Bang!" The auspicious wood sounded again, and Wei Liang looked at Xu Fei who was kneeling on the ground with a stern face: "You are Xu Fei? I asked you, did you steal the county government office on the night of the thirteenth month to set fire to the trench cabinet?"

"Yes... it was done by the villain..." Xu Fei's voice was very soft after suffering a lot, but at this moment, he heard a thunderclap in everyone's ears, "But the villain was also instructed, and there was no choice..."

"Who instructed you to do this lawless thing?"
