I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

  Chapter 51 The Fish Takes the Bait

  The sound of breaking teacups is especially crisp at night, and it can be transmitted farther.

  After hearing the sound of teacups breaking from inside, Xu Bai stood in the corner and left contentedly.

  …

  In a room brightly lit by oil lamps, County Magistrate Zhang was holding the letter, his hands trembling slightly.

  The content of the letter was vivid on the paper. After he read all the content, apart from trembling hands, there was anger in his eyes.

  The content is very simple, it is to tell him that the Lin family intends to submit the record of bribery to the capital, and wants to drag him down from his current position.

   Moreover, in order to act cautiously, the Lin family consigned the goods through Fulong Escort for other reasons.

  In addition to this letter, there are also several pieces of paper with records of bribery written on them.

  From the perspective of County Magistrate Zhang, the above content is exactly the same, and it is recorded from beginning to end.

  He doesn't know who sent the letter, but if that's the case, that's the end of his job.

   "Who actually sent it?" Magistrate Zhang thought.

  After thinking for a long time, I temporarily gave up thinking about the source of the letter.

   It is important who sent the letter?

   Of course it is important, but there are more important things now.

   That is to quickly block the transfer of the ledger!

   There are priorities, and Magistrate Zhang doesn't plan to wait any longer.

  He couldn't care less, stepped out the door a few steps, and yelled in the yard.

   "Come on!"

  The county government of Da Chu State also has servants on duty at night, and they live in the backyard.

  Following County Magistrate Zhang shouting, there was a sound from the backyard, and then several yamen servants trotted out.

  A few yamen servants were in a hurry, and they didn't even put on their clothes, and they put them on while running.

   "Go to Fulong Escort Bureau, secretly bring the bodyguard master here, and let him bring the bodyguard by the way." County magistrate Zhang said: "Be sure not to disturb anyone during the night, this matter must be kept secret."

  The yamen servants looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but when they heard that the county magistrate was so serious, they knew it was a big deal and left quickly.

  After the servants left, County Magistrate Zhang returned to the house and burned all the papers just now.

  Looking at the paper that had turned into ashes, Magistrate Zhang fell into deep thought, thinking about other things.

   Who sent him the letter?

  What is the purpose of this person?

   Wait until the crisis is resolved before checking this person's news.

  …

  At this time, Xu Bai had returned to the Escort, changed into ordinary clothes, took off his coat, and lay on the bed.

  He recalled the contents of the letter carefully, and after making sure that there were no flaws, he smiled in relief.

  In the letter, he mentioned the Fulong Escort Agency again, and left the Fulong Escort Agency completely, only saying that the Fulong Escort Agency received a set of darts.

   "Next, he should be coming soon." Xu Bai closed his eyes, thinking that the time should be coming soon.

   After about an incense stick, someone knocked on the door of the Escort Bureau.

   "Who is who? Knocking at the door at night." Xu Bai put on his coat and walked out, opened the door, pretending to be surprised.

  Just as the door was opened, the servants rushed in and surrounded Xu Bai.

   "My lord secretly announces you, bring your darts and come with us to the county government." One of the government officials said.

  Due to confidentiality reasons, they didn't even bring torches, and it was pitch black outside.

   "Ah? Ah! Okay, okay, wait for me." Xu Bai walked into the room and took the empty wooden box with him.

   "Let's go!" the yamen servant said, leading the way.

  …

   A moment later, the backyard of the county government.

  When Xu Bai arrived at the county government office, he ran into the county magistrate Zhang.

   But County Magistrate Zhang asked the others to leave, leaving Xu Bai alone.

   "Give me the things." County magistrate Zhang said directly, reaching out his hand.

  Xu Bai pretended to be at a loss: "My lord, this is a dart, the most taboo thing in our profession is..."

   "There is a big problem with this thing, do you want to disobey my order?" County Magistrate Zhang interrupted impatiently.

  He can't control so much now, destroying things is the most important thing.

  Xu Bai shrank his neck, pretended to be scared again, and carefully handed over the wooden box.

   County magistrate Zhang opened the wooden box and found it was empty.

   "What's going on? What's inside?" His expression was angry.

  Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then said at a loss: "My lord, I don't know, I have never touched this thing, no, there is a lock hanging on it, how could it disappear?"

   "Is there a padlock on it, don't you know?" County magistrate Zhang's expression changed from anger to gloomy.

  The account book is gone, what does that person think?

  He couldn't figure it out.

"It was still there last night. You guys were screaming anxiously just now. I didn't pay attention to this thing. It's over, it's over, it's lost before it even started, and the Escort is hopeless..." Xu Bai took two steps back, his face was very pale, and at the same time, his shoulders endured pain. I couldn't help shaking.

   This appearance, with a hint of despair mixed with fear, was vividly portrayed by Xu Bai.

  Actually, he could have made it simpler.

  But if you want to get rid of the Escort, you have to do the opposite.

  Magistrate Zhang calmed down slowly after being angry.

He looked at Xu Bai who was showing a frightened expression, and tried to calm his tone: "Okay, it's none of your business, go back quickly, you can't tell anyone about this, do you understand? Pretend it didn't happen look."

  Too many things happened tonight, especially the empty box, which made County Magistrate Zhang have a guess.

  The mysterious person who reported to him may have quietly taken away the ledger.

  As for why it was taken away, it was probably to catch him.

  Now he can't think too much, he has to settle the matter first.

   As for the bodyguard in front of him, he must not be allowed to expose the matter, so he must stabilize first.

  He has to deal with the Lin family first!

   Pull out this evil thing first, and then find a way to deal with that mysterious person.

  The Lin family wanted to get things out through the Escort, so the situation in the Escort must be stabilized now.

   "But my lord... my bodyguard..." Xu Bai whispered again.

   "Let me tell you, what is important now is not your thing. This thing is very likely to be a stolen item. I have to prove it slowly, so once this thing is exposed, I will ask you!" County Magistrate Zhang began to threaten.

  Xu Bai shrank his neck quickly, and quickly agreed, saying that he would never expose it.

   "You go first." County magistrate Zhang waved.

  Xu Bai nodded, as if this was a crater, he didn't dare to stay at all, and left quickly.

  After Xu Bai left, County Magistrate Zhang still had a gloomy expression.

  No one knows what he is thinking in his heart, and no one knows what he is planning.

  The wind at night was very cold. In addition to being gloomy, Magistrate Zhang's eyes were also ruthless.

  …

  Xu Bai walked out of the yamen and went all the way to the **** office, the expression on his face didn't change, until he closed the door with his backhand, he finally couldn't help showing a smile.

  Fish, take the bait.

   Regarding County Magistrate Zhang, I thought about killing him with one knife, but killing him with one knife is so boring, and it is too unreasonable to kill the county magistrate directly. I prefer that County Magistrate Zhang suffers long-term and slow psychological torture.
