Just at the critical moment, Song Zhi stood in front of Su Qing, Xiao Yuan stood behind Su Qing, Liang Jingrui was surrounded by guards, Su Qing grabbed Song Zhi's shoulder, at this time the sky began to rain lightly, Su Qing raised his head, Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, I cursed secretly in my heart: Damn, it rains every time something happens, does God look down on us?

At this time, there was another shout from behind, one man with a spear in his hand, and riding towards him on horseback. The man's face was black, his face was full of beards, and his eyes were burning like candles. , whoever dares to hurt the prince will surely be cut into pieces."

At the same time, countless soldiers poured out from all directions, and they picked up their spears and said, "Kill."

The deafening sound shocked Su Qingdawei. Every soldier seemed to be protected by iron armor, not afraid of the difficulties and obstacles ahead, and not afraid of whether the front was a volcano or a flood, so he rushed over with shouts. I have never seen it in the Hangu Pass before. It turns out that the wars in this era are all mountains and rivers built with flesh and blood. It turns out that the mountains and rivers are blood-colored, and they are really blood-colored.

Su Qing's eyes were a little hot. If he was at the border at this moment, the sound of war drums and thunder would make people fall into a land without borders.

Liu Chuanzhi never thought that Zheng Huanran would appear here. He clenched his hands tightly. At this moment, he had no way of retreating. He knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Liu Chuanzhi knelt down, and his order naturally disappeared, not to mention that the situation at this moment did not allow them to attack anyone. The people in the county government were all arrested, and before the heavy rain fell, they returned to Yucheng in the yamen.

Liu Chuanzhi, Liu Zhixin and others knelt in the middle of the yamen, Liang Jingrui sat at the top, Zheng Huanran stood beside him with a knife, Song Zhi stood beside Su Qing with a calm face.

Su Qing glanced at Zheng Huanran, always felt that he was very majestic, even standing there, people felt awe.Su Qing tugged on the sleeve of Song Zhi beside him, and said quietly: "Who is that person? Why does he look like this? How old is he? I always feel like I have experienced a lot of things, and I am mature and prudent."

Song Zhi raised the corners of his lips to reveal a smile, and turned his head to whisper, "He is the son of a general under my father's command. We grew up together, and he is only three years older than me."

Su Qing's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but raised three fingers, "Three years old, why do you look so much older than you? And your father's general."

Su Qing stopped, General Song was dead, and his generals would not live long. Thinking of the Jiang brothers that Liyang met, it was because of the battle of Hangu Pass a few years ago, when 4 corpses piled up like a mountain, causing Their spiritual wounds, this person is a descendant of the previous general, and Song Zhi will be even more displeased, Su Qing is a little worried.

Song Zhi looked at Su Qing's face which had changed several times, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, his father didn't go to Hangu Pass at that time, he had already arrived in Liuyi City, now Zheng Huanran has taken over his father's position, very prestigious. "

Su Qing's heart fell steadily.

Liang Jingrui sat in the middle, and said to Liu Chuanzhi at the bottom, "Master Liu, do you have anything to say?"

Liu Chuanzhi bowed his head, "Your Highness calm down, I am only protecting the merchants in Yucheng, and preventing people with different ideas from disrupting the business of Yucheng. There is nothing wrong with maintaining order."

Liang Jingrui let out a cold snort, "You say you maintain order, and this king has already said that you want to find out the truth. Why do you still do something in front of this king? You simply don't take this king seriously."

Liu Chuanzhi was neither humble nor overbearing, "My lord has just arrived here, and I don't know the local situation in Yucheng, and I just do what I should do. What's more, that person is here to stir up the situation for no reason, so I shouldn't let it go."

Liang Jingrui frowned, "What you said you should do, Yucheng didn't hand over a single coin to the imperial court last year. Since you think you are a businessman who maintains order and protects Yucheng, what about the tax money? Where did it all go?"

"Yucheng encountered natural disasters in the past two years, and now it has finally recovered a little bit of life, making up for the previous losses. The court wants money, and Yucheng has been trying its best to hand it in. It really owes too much, so there is nothing to do. .”

"If you say that you have no choice, you can drive out the businessmen and even arrest them. Master Liu, what are you doing?"

Liang Jingrui got up, stood up from the chair, walked in front of Liu Chuanzhi, "Bring the account book, I want to see it."

Without any hesitation, Liu Chuanzhi said to someone, "Go get the ledger."

Seeing Liu Chuanzhi's still calm face, Su Qing admired him very much. At this time, he was going to do something against Liang Jingrui's will, and now he still refuses to admit it.

The ledger was brought quickly, and when the document was handed over, "My lord, this is Yucheng's ledger for the past three years."

Su Qing took a closer look and couldn't help but said: "The three-year account book is so little?"

It's just two thick books and one thin book. It's impossible for a county to have so few records for three years.

Liu Chuanzhi said: "Because of the heavy rain the year before last, the entire county office was flooded, and all the ledgers were soaked in water, making them unusable. Many of them were added to the records later, but most of them couldn't be remembered, so I made a note. little bit."

Su Qing sucked her nose, so powerful that she was blamed on natural disasters for being confused.

Liang Jingrui took the ledger and looked at it. Su Qu held the ledger in his arms. Liang Jingrui said: "The court law requires that the ledger must be intact for inspection. If it is damaged, Master Liu, you will be sent to prison."

Liu Chuanzhi looked calm, "Yes, I know."

I would rather go to jail than destroy the ledger.

What's there to see in bad debts?

Su Qing shook her head slightly. No wonder it took more than half a year to check the affairs of the 32 counties. Without on-site investigation, there was really no way to find out the real situation here.

Liang Jingrui didn't talk nonsense, "You go down first, but you disobeyed this king's order and committed crimes above and below, and this king even thought you were going to attack me."

"Come on, lock it up, and no one will see it without my king's order."

After being taken down, Liang Jingrui handed the account book to Su Qu, and then said, "It seems that we will be busy all night tonight."

Those who stayed were all confidantes, Song Zhi took the initiative to walk in front of Zheng Huanran, "Brother, long time no see."

Zheng Huanran opened his arms, hugged Song Zhi tightly in his arms, patted him on the back and said, "Okay, it's great that you're alive."

Su Qing looked at Song Zhi's heartfelt smile, and at Zheng Huanran's bearded face, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you anxious about your appearance?"
