Li Wei was about to arrive at the county yard, and he was about to find Qin Dianshi directly. Unexpectedly, the yamen runner told him that Qin Dianshi accompanied the county master to Fengyang early in the morning. He rushed to the prison again, but learned that his father was not imprisoned, which means that his father was taken away by the yamen runners, but he didn't know where he was imprisoned? He asked several more yamen runners, but he said he didn't know about this.

He became more and more confused. What was wrong with this? Li Wei was not anxious at this moment. Since his father was not imprisoned, it means that the fraud of autumn grain was just an excuse, and there must be other names hidden in it.

He waited until the county government completed his shift, and then he hid in an alley near the county government. After about a stick of incense, several sedan chairmen walked out of the side door of the county government with a soft sedan chair and were coming here. This was the county magistrate Li Miao who returned to his house.

"Second Uncle." Li Wei was stopping the sedan chair, "Can you say something to the second uncle?"

The curtain of the sedan chair opened, revealing the round and rolling face of County Magistrate Li. He glanced at Li Weizheng sympathetically and sighed. Of course he knew that Li Wei was coming for what he had done.

"Stop the sedan."

The sedan chair stopped, County Magistrate Li crawled out of the sedan chair and walked to Li Wei and said, "I really can't help this case. Not only that, I also have to avoid this case, so I can't take you to my house."

"Please tell me what happened?" Li Weizheng asked in a deep voice.

"This is the thing. After collecting autumn grain, part of it is still in the county warehouse. Yesterday, the county was preparing to remove the grain from Fengyang Prefecture. When transporting it, it was found that there were five bags of grain bran inside. After investigation, it was found that the bag was actually the grain handed over by your father. The matter was very serious, so the magistrate ordered the arrest of people."

Speaking of this, County Magistrate Li shook his head repeatedly and said sadly: "I didn't expect Mr. Li to do such a thing. Alas! I have a relationship with Mr. Li, and this matter may also affect my reputation."

"Don't the second uncle think there is a loophole in it? People have to weigh the grain one by one. Five bags of granulated bran are as light as feathers. How could it not be discovered at that time? Moreover, my father and the government gave the grain certificate."

"The problem is here." Li County Chief sighed and said, "If ordinary people pay grain, of course they have to weigh it. But your father is the largest grain delivery household in Lijia Village every year, and he is also the village chief, so this year the county gave him preferential treatment of free scale and directly handing the grain into the warehouse. Now it's fine, no one can tell."

Li Weizheng's heart sank. It is better to say that it is a trap than a preferential treatment. This is very easy to be framed. Needless to say, his father's food must have been replaced. He asked anxiously: "Since my father is presumed to be guilty, why not put him in prison, where is he now?"

"This..., this matter has nothing to do with me, I'm leaving." County Chief Li hurried into the sedan chair and shouted: "Carry the sedan chair!"

"Second Uncle!"

"Don't call me the second uncle now. This matter is done in public. I will not abuse the law. If you want to find it, just look for the boss Yang. He is the one who is in charge of this case."

Li Wei was watching the sedan chair walk away coldly. When collecting money, it was like applying honey to his mouth, but something happened but it seemed like the soles of his shoes were polished. This is the real face of an official like Li County Chief.

Li Weizheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought, three thousand guan of money, no scale treatment, no grain exchange, no supervision and detention, these sporadic clues were linked together, and he seemed to have seen a designed trap. The time for handing over the grain was five days after he entered the county government office. In other words, the trap was dug at that time. The person who was in charge of the case was Yang Zhubu. Could it be that Yang Zhubu planned this matter? It is very likely that he had seized his brother-in-law's position in revenge.

However, Li Weizheng still felt that there was something wrong with it. How should the three thousand guan of money be explained? My father would never give money to Yang Zhubu. Moreover, since he received the money, he should be fine. Why is it like something is causing a big deal? What mystery is hidden in it?

It seems that we can only talk about it when Qin Dianshi comes back tomorrow.

As the sky gradually became dark, Li Wei returned to his residence with great concern. He opened the door, but saw a person squatting in the yard at a glance, "Who is it?" he shouted sternly.

"Boss, it's me!" It was Wang Sanbao's voice.

Li Wei was relieved and said angrily: "It's so late, why are you hiding here sneakily?"

"I came for my uncle's arrest."

Li Weizheng was shocked, stepped forward and grabbed his arm and said, "What do you know?"

Wang Sanbao looked out and whispered: "It is inconvenient to speak here, let's go to the house to talk."

Li Wei immediately opened the door and took Wang Sanbao into the house. He lit the light and asked immediately: "Tell me!"

Wang Sanbao pondered for a moment and said, "This matter may be related to the county master."

‘Magistrate Zhang?’ The confused magistrate who was sick all day long and was soaked in the medicine jar. He asked in confusion: “How do you know that this matter is related to Magistrate Zhang?”

"Because the person who went to arrest your father was not Qin Dianshi's constable, but the soap servants directly under the command of the county magistrate Zhang."

Li Weizheng let out a long sigh. He remembered that Qin Dianshi had told him that he would slowly understand the power of Zhang County in the future. Now he finally understood that since he entered the county government, Zhang County had already dug a trap for his father. In fact, he should have thought that Li Weizheng had such a fat man when he entered the county government. His father only gave gifts to Li County Ma and Master Ma. How could he give up on his magistrate Zhang? Of course, he would not be a good man or a trustworthy woman, otherwise his whole family would have to drink the northwest wind, and he would have to raise two masters! Where did the money come from?

Since it was his subordinate to work as a soap servant, this matter must have a direct relationship with him. No wonder he had to go to Fengyang early in the morning, but what happened to the 3,000 guan of money? Could it be that his father gave it to the magistrate Zhang, and he thought it was too little? It was impossible, 3,000 guan! The market price is 700 taels of silver, so how much land can you buy? Sixty taels of stolen goods were peeled and cramped. He collected 700 taels of silver for a small job. How could he still think it was too little? It was logically inconsistent! Are there any other tricks in this?

Li Wei was walking around with his hands behind his back. If he wanted to find out the name of it, he had to see his father. Thinking of this, he turned around and asked tentatively: "Leopard, do you know where my father is locked up?"

"Of course I know!" Wang Sanbao suddenly laughed, laughing so proudly.

Li Weizheng couldn't believe his ears, but Wang Sanbao actually knew that he was ecstatic and asked quickly: "Where is my father locked up?"

"It's in the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city. I don't know if the boss has come here for a short time. It is nominally a place where the county detains those who are owed grain but do not pay them. But in fact, it was set up by the County Magistrate Zhang to blackmail the uncle who is rich and humble. It's difficult to release it after being confiscated. So I temporarily locked up in the Chenghuang Temple and let people go with money. There is my brother in the guards. I can take the lead and meet my uncle at night."

"Then let's go now." Li Wei was a little impatient.

"Wait a little longer." Wang Sanbao stopped his impatientness, "The two are still on duty now, and after midnight, I will only be my brother-in-law. It would be better for us to go there at that time."

When Li Wei heard what he said made sense, he calmed down slowly. He took a sip of water, suddenly glanced at Wang Sanbao, and asked with a smile: "Why do you want to help me? You also know that I will have two months to spend my time doing this job. I will first declare that I will give you no benefit."

Wang Sanbao lowered his head and said nothing, slowly his face turned red. He raised his head and looked at Li Weizheng and said, "I don't want you to repay you. I have been a famous rascal since I was a child. I am also a yamen runner to make it easier to extort. Although I am not a good thing, I admire those who are truly honest and honest. We have seen it in the past few months. You have at least rejected the benefits of thousands of guan of money. You don't take any money, but you can comprehend the difficulties of supporting our family. You adhere to principles and are not a nerd. This is the first time I have encountered such a person, so I respect you from the bottom of my heart. I have felt that you are definitely not an ordinary person, you are a person who can do great things, because only those who do great things can resist the temptation of money."

Seeing his sincerity, Li Wei couldn't help but feel moved. He patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Actually, I also like to be greedy for a little bit of a small advantage. For example, this house only costs 300 yuan. As far as I know, a house like this can cost at least 800 yuan. Isn't this just using his position for personal gain? To be honest, if the landlord only costs 100 yuan, I would be happier."

Wang Sanbao suddenly smiled, "Do you think you took advantage? The rent from the previous tenant was really only 100 cents. I charged you 300 cents because I had to pay attention to your dinner."

Li Wei was stunned, "Why is this?"

"Because this room has been hung, it's on top of your head."
