He felt a little numb at the sight of Xu Xin. Li Fugui couldn't help shaking Xu Xin's arm and yelled, "my Lord, my Lord!"
"Brother Li," Xu Xin deliberately slowed down her voice, pointed her head with her fingers, and said as if thinking, "I seem to have heard people in the Yamen say that you secretly gave Lin Yeqing a gift in the murder case of Shi Xiaorui!"
When Xu Xin said so clearly, Li Fugui didn't know how to answer and stammered: "I... i..."
Xu Xin leaned over and tried to put her hands behind her. After her failure, she looked at Li Fugui with her arms down and said, "brother Li, are you with me?"
Li Fugui nodded and said, "of course."
Xu Xin smiles, puts her arm on Li Fugui's shoulder and says, "don't worry. I'll teach you a move to make sure you're OK."
Li Fugui looked at Xu Xin eagerly and said, "please, my Lord."
"You, make a list of the gifts that have been sent to Lin Yeqing, and give it to me. Then I have full evidence to put Lin Yeqing in prison."
Li Fugui was stunned for a moment, which made it clear that he had offended Lin Yeqing. He hesitated and said, "this, this is not very good!"
"What's wrong? Didn't you just join me?" Said Xu Xin drunk eyes hazy looking at Li Fugui, doubt asked: "you don't want to pedal two boats?"
"No, No." Li Fugui quickly shook his hands and said, "it's just that Li is just a civilian. He can't afford to offend Lin county magistrate."
"What kind of county magistrate!" Hearing this, Xu Xin was angry and said, "that was before. Now I'm the county magistrate. Brother Li, you have to think well. You can only choose one of the two. If you choose him, then I'll ask others for the evidence. But when the time comes, I really want to investigate, but I'll be sorry for you. "
"This, this," Li Fugui hesitated. It's obvious that the current county magistrate is looking for trouble for his predecessor, but he is embarrassed.
Seeing that he didn't agree, Xu Xin said, "if you submit the list, you can be regarded as a meritorious informer. Naturally, I won't hold you responsible. I will treat you as my own person and drink spicy food with me in the future."
Li Fugui sighed. He was in a dilemma.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Xu Xin tossed her sleeve and said, "as far as I'm concerned, which side should I stand on? Think about it. I think I've shown enough sincerity."
After that, Xu Xin leaned against the bamboo and let it help her to walk forward. She left Li's house and got on the carriage.
Li Fugui followed anxiously until Xu Xin's carriage left. The expression on his face at this time was complicated.
After a long journey, Qingzhu lifted the curtain of the carriage to see if there was no car behind. He said to Xu Xin, who was lying drunk on the carriage, "my Lord!"
Xu Xin opened her eyes and sat up. There was no intoxication at all.
"Sir, do you think this trick can deceive Li Fugui?" Green bamboo asked in a low voice. If they don't have evidence of Lin Yeqing's corruption, they won't do it.
Xu Xin narrowed her eyes and said slowly: "you need to add a fire! Qingzhu, when you go back, you will send me an order to arrest Lin Yeqing in the name of corruption and perversion of the law. "
"Yes, my Lord!" Green bamboo said.
"Then deliberately put the news to Li Fugui, let him know the first time we caught Lin Yeqing." Xu Xin said, "hum, I'll let them bite the dog this time."
Green bamboo nodded.
The carriage ran quickly to the Yamen in the town. The wind was light and the clouds were light all the way.
As soon as Xu Xin goes back to the yamen, she catches up with Lin Yeqing. The town is full of discussions and rumors.
The next day, Li Fugui came to the door and probably heard about Lin Yeqing being arrested. Xu Xin ordered people to invite him to the county magistrate's office.
In the pavilion of the county government garden, Xu Xin and Li Fugui sit face to face, with green bamboo standing beside Xu Xin.
"My Lord, you are very resolute. You just mentioned the matter of magistrate Lin yesterday. Today I heard that you have arrested him." Li Fugui smiles and flatters.
"Brother Li is very well informed." Xu Xin took a cup of tea and said, "this town is a long way away from Li Fu. I didn't expect that you would get the news so soon."
Li Fugui said modestly: "Li also depends on his friends to learn the news."
"Yesterday, Japanese officials were greedy in Li's house, which made brother Li laugh." Xu Xin played with the teacup in her hand, but she couldn't see her happiness and anger.
Li Fugui waved his hand and said, "my Lord is serious."
"Although the Japanese official was drunk yesterday, some words are still vaguely remembered." Xu Xin looks at the teacup in her hand, if she has a point.
Li Fugui naturally understood what Xu Xin said. Embarrassed, he said to Xu Xin with a smile, "Li remembers what adults said." I feel that yesterday's magistrate and today's magistrate are just like two people.
"Did brother Li figure out which side to stand on?" Xu Xin suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Fugui with a serious face.
By Xu Xin so a stare, Li Fugui heart missed a beat, that sharp eyes should not belong to this young man. He didn't sleep last night, and had been hesitating whether to sell the magistrate. This morning when he learned that Lin Yeqing had been arrested, he knew that Xu Xin had already taken action. He came here in a hurry. He was afraid that as Xu Xin said, he would attack himself.
Li Fugui thought about it, took out a small book from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin looks at Li Fugui, takes the book and turns over a few pages. See inside clearly remember to Lin Yeqing send things, remember very detailed, and the amount and date.
Xu Xin turned over the book and said with a smile, "brother Li is so careful. He wrote in such detail."
"I'm a businessman, so I'll write more carefully." Seeing Xu Xin's smile, Li Fugui put down his heart slightly, took a sip of his tea cup, and said, "since the account book has been handed over to adults, adults should understand Li's position."
Xu Xin's expression was much more relaxed than before. She nodded and said, "brother Li is really familiar with the principle that a person who knows current affairs is a hero. You can rest assured that since you have made your stand clear, I will not embarrass you."
Hearing this, Li Fugui was relieved at last. The young man looks young, but it's not simple.
