The whole family went crazy after reading my mind, and I became a favorite after eating melons

Xu Zhiyan is relatively slow emotionally. She didn't realize what it meant to have her ears touched or her neck about to be touched just now. Her focus was entirely on what Li Wenjin just said.

"How did you target him?"

[In the public’s fixed impression, Cheng Li is a really good official. Normal people would not associate such crazy things like burning the government with him. Has any evidence been found? 】

[If that's the case, then Brother Wen Jin is so powerful. He has been able to find out so many important things just after coming to Liuzhou for a short time! 】

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan's eyes gleamed when she looked at people.

Li Wenjin's heart warmed at the sight.

"Cheng Li has done a good job. He is extremely diligent in dealing with the aftermath and creating an image of a good official. But paper can never cover up the fire. When I knew there was a major corruption case here, I never thought of letting anyone go without investigating. , as long as you check, you will definitely get clues."

"For example, the state shepherd's salary is only a little, and Mrs. Cheng's natal family is not wealthy enough, so it is impossible to give her a large dowry."

"But as far as I know, the assets recorded in the names of Cheng Li, Mrs. Cheng, and some close relatives are dozens of times larger than the dowry and the family property combined. No matter how outstanding the business ability is, This cannot be accomplished in just a few years.”

"Too suspicious."

Xu Zhiyanzi was taken by Hua Rong to learn business since she was a child. Naturally, she knew very well that such a family fortune could not be achieved in a few years.

Cheng Li himself also knew that such a family property was suspicious, so he dispersed the property among his relatives. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just a state pastor who cared about his people and was willing to support them after becoming an official. They would not suspect that he was using their people to Spread the risk.

"Then the person has been arrested now, right?"

Li Wenjin pursed her lips.

"No."

Yes, no, there are many secret passages in getting married. There is an entrance to the secret passage in the hall where I just met Li Wenjin. After Li Wenjin asked that question, he couldn't give an answer and ran away.

"I sent people to follow him into the secret passage, but there were too many branching paths in the secret passage, and many of them were dead ends. My people lost track of him and have not found him yet."

That lunatic dared to wait at home for Li Wenjin to come to his door. Sure enough, he had a back-up plan.

Xu Zhiyan thought for a moment.

"What about his wife and daughter?"

"Nothing was found. Various properties under their names were also searched, and relatives and friends also made inquiries, but to no avail."

[Let me think about it carefully. I seem to have this fragment in my memory, which is related to Cheng Li’s arrest. Let me think about it, think about it... Oh, right! Lingshan! In Lingshan! 】

Lingshan?

The highest mountain in Liuzhou was rarely visited by local hunters because of the rampant wild beasts on it. As time went by, human presence was rare, and Li Wenjin never thought of investigating it.

He curved his lips and smiled.

"But don't worry, Nannan, I will definitely find a way."

Lingshan was so remote that he would definitely not be able to find it for a while. Xu Zhiyan was worried that Chengli's family could escape smoothly, so she finally gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Brother Wen Jin, let me give you a suggestion. It's my humble guess. I think they probably won't be hiding in those properties. After all, they can be found. They should be hiding in some wilderness. ridge."

"For example, Lingshan, Chenshan and so on."

She wanted to give Lingshan an accent, but then she thought, that would be too deliberate and would reduce the number of examples, which would be equivalent to narrowing the scope of the investigation.

Li Wenjin came up.

"Okay, let's investigate Lingshan and Chenshan first. It's only noon now. There's still another place we can go. Let's go to Lingshan first."

Half an hour later, the soldiers quickly and quietly surrounded Lingshan. The specially selected team took the lead to go up the mountain, skillfully shuttled through the mountains and forests, and gradually approached Chengli's hiding place. Cheng Li, who was hiding in the cave, vaguely heard the movement. He pushed aside the vines and took a look. From this angle, he could see halfway up the mountain, and he could see the figure of Zhuo Zhuo.

His heart skipped a beat.

How did you find this place so quickly? !

No, we have to move quickly!

Cheng Li hurriedly left from the side path. The path he chose was full of thorns, and his clothes were torn to pieces before he went far.

He had no time to think about it and moved forward with all his strength. He made sure that he had gone some distance before turning back to observe the situation behind him. But the moment he turned his head, a black shadow rushed towards him.

He was thrown to the ground and his face was pressed hard on the gravel. The stinging sensation made him cry out in pain.

The next second his head was pressed harder, and now no sound could come out.

Li Wenjin walked slowly to him.

"Long time no see, Sir Cheng."

"Take people away."

Li Wenjin had no intention of chatting with anyone, so he had people escort him back. On the way back, he chose a crowded road to attract attention along the way. People with easily agitated personalities would even throw rotten cabbage.

Xu Zhiyan was lying on the window of her room, just in time to see Cheng Li wandering the street.

He shook his head and sighed.

"Brother, why are you talking about being separated? You are obviously a state pastor, and you are still at this age. Work hard, promotion is inevitable, and life will get better day by day. There is no need to take risks and take this road. of."

Xu Yanqing was not impressed.

"People's hearts are not enough. If you have one, you want two. If you have eggs, you want hens. That's what Cheng Li is like. Fortunately, he was caught. Otherwise, the people of Liuzhou would not know how long they would be exploited."

These words awakened Xu Zhiyan, "Then the money they embezzled before, do they have to spit it out and return it to the people?"

"This is inevitable!"

"Brother Li just asked someone to give you a letter. We are responsible for leading a team to search the homes of married people. The things we found will be converted into money and given to the people."

Xu Yanqing put her arms around Xu Zhiyan's shoulders and raised her eyebrows angrily, "Brother Li also told us to take whatever we like in Chengjia."

This is a scam.

If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard. Xu Zhiyan stood up quickly and looked at Xu Yanqing with bright eyes, "When should we take action?"

"Now."

……

The last time I came to get married was for a banquet, but I didn't expect that the second time I came here, the house was ransacked.

Xu Zhiyan stood in the hall and sighed. Just when Xu Yanqing thought she would say something, she picked up her skirt and went straight to Chengjia's warehouse. As soon as she pushed in, she saw shelves after shelves, with everything on them. Ordinary stuff.

She clicked her tongue.

[It’s pretty deep. Let me see where there might be a dark room hidden. 】

She placed one hand across her lower abdomen, and the elbow of the other hand rested on this arm. Her fingers were rubbing her chin. Her eyes scanned the surroundings like a scanner, and then she followed her heart and focused her sight on a corner.

Xu Zhiyan walked over without hesitation, fiddled with it a few times, and heard a "click". (End of chapter)
