Chapter 56 County magistrate Zhang is in a panic
He not only panicked, but also felt fearful.
"He should come to me, why didn't he come to me?"
In the room where the oil lamp was flickering, County Magistrate Zhang's voice was full of doubts and puzzlement, and he couldn't figure it out.
Lin Fu is dead, but the account book is still unknown, the box of the Escort is empty, someone stole the account book before that, then it is the mysterious person who conveyed the message to him before.
This person not only got the ledger, but also conveyed the message to himself, in case he was deceived by Lin Fu.
The result is obvious. This person should be asking for something from him, or want to grab his handle, and then let himself use the power in his hand to make things easier.
The worst thing is to use my own hands to kill Lin Fu.
In addition to these, Magistrate Zhang really couldn't figure out what else was possible.
But it was already night, and the surroundings were still silent, and no one came to look for him.
"Don't he know what happened today?"
"No, absolutely not possible."
"Since this mysterious person has his mind on himself, he must be closely observing the changes around him."
"But why didn't he come to me?"
Staring at the oil lamp in front of him, Magistrate Zhang felt dizzy the more he thought about it, as if he had fallen into a dead end.
The night is long, but if you think about it, the night will be short.
Throughout the night, County Magistrate Zhang didn't sleep.
He couldn't sleep, and as long as things weren't working out, he couldn't sleep.
The mysterious man has become a heart problem for him, and now whenever he thinks about it, he feels a splitting headache.
"Master Zhang, haven't you slept all night?" Master got up early in the morning and came to the county office early, and saw the county magistrate Zhang with a haggard face and weak body sitting on a chair.
On weekdays, this lord is full of glory, but why does he seem to be a few years older today?
County magistrate Zhang didn't answer. He leaned back on the chair, resting his head weakly on it, and his eyes were dull.
When the master saw this appearance, he stopped asking, thinking that everyone has a difficult scripture to recite, so he hurried to do his own thing.
"Why didn't he come? Is he still holding back some conspiracy?"
"The enemy is in the dark, but I am in the light. I don't even know his identity, and I haven't even seen this person."
"How do I find out if this guy isn't showing off?"
Thoughts swirled in County Magistrate Zhang's mind, and the more they turned, the more headache he felt.
Thinking of the end, he came to a conclusion.
—There is simply no way.
Anything may leave traces, but if this person doesn't come to him or do anything, then he really can't find him.
"Wait a little longer." Magistrate Zhang thought to himself.
Time waits for no one. No matter what changes happen in the world, time will always move forward, and will not go backward or stagnate.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Over the past few days, County Magistrate Zhang has been tortured by the distracting thoughts in his mind.
As the saying goes, if you don’t do bad things on weekdays, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.
People with ghosts in their hearts, once they feel that their affairs have been exposed, it will be the greatest torture.
"Ahh! I'm going crazy, are you coming or not!"
In the study, County Magistrate Zhang threw all the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the table to the ground, and overturned the table.
He pounded the ground with both fists, his eyes were red, his hair was disheveled, and there was an aura of madness flowing all over his body.
Five days!
Five full days!
These five days seemed like nothing happened, as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
County magistrate Zhang knew in his heart that this was just the tranquility before the storm, the more tranquil, the greater the storm.
Magistrate Zhang didn't know how strong the wind and rain were, but he always felt like a dangerous building that would be destroyed by the wind and rain at any time.
The torment was like a bone-eating wind, making him haggard day by day, destroying him all the time.
"Don't let me catch you... If you are caught by me, I will let you suffer all kinds of punishments in prison!"
The unkempt county magistrate Zhang sat on the ground, looking at the mess in the room, the torment in his heart not only did not decrease, but deepened day by day.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who!" County magistrate Zhang was startled, got up from the ground, and asked sharply.
"My lord, there...someone is looking for you..."
Outside the door, the master's voice trembled slightly.
"Someone came to see me?" County magistrate Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.
After so long, the mysterious man finally couldn't bear it anymore!
I knew it!
This guy is grinding me, now he has no patience, I win!
Finally it's my turn!
County magistrate Zhang looked at his messy clothes, tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and said: "Let him wait, I will clean up before I go to find him."
hehe.
You made me wait so long, now it's my turn.
Thinking about it, County Magistrate Zhang planned to clean up.
But before he could move, he heard another voice coming from outside the door.
"My lord, you'd better hurry up, it's... Dao Ling is here."
Master's voice was trembling, obviously frightened.
"Dao... Dao Ling?" County Magistrate Zhang sat down on the ground with a dazed face.
…
Great Chu State, for the classification of places, there are four categories in total—Jingzhou Fudao.
And under the road, there are counties.
The so-called Dao Ling is the domain in charge of one, and there are not many counties under it.
Rusheng County is one of the counties under the jurisdiction of Jingyun Road.
At this moment, Li Daoling was sitting in the lobby, holding a roll of ledgers in his hand.
No need to read it, because he has read it countless times on the way here.
This account book was jointly submitted by capable disciples of Qingyun Academy and King Kong Temple, even if it was Li Daoling, he could not be rash.
One side is Qingyun Academy, which continuously provides scholars for the Great Chu Kingdom.
On the other side, King Kong Temple, one of the top ten temples in the Great Chu Kingdom.
With the joint efforts of the two parties, coupled with solid evidence, Li Daoling has already sentenced Zhang County Magistrate to death in his heart.
When he came to Sheng County, he had already learned about the history of every sum of money from the bank.
Regarding money, County Magistrate Zhang is very careful, and every sum of money is done in a seamless manner.
Of course, that's what I think.
If Li Daoling cannot be found out, then he is not Daoling.
Serious corruption and bribery occurred within his jurisdiction. If it is not discovered, it will be fine. Now that it is discovered, it must be severely punished.
As a Taoist order, once there is a similar situation involving the decapitation of a court official, a letter of flying pigeon can be sent directly to the capital.
Before coming, he sent a message first.
Jingli replied, if the matter is serious, it will be decided.
Li Daoling felt that Magistrate Zhang's days were over.
Thinking about this, the unkempt County Magistrate Zhang was pushed in, and the people who escorted County Magistrate Zhang were two eighth-rank warriors.
"Zhang Yi, you are guilty!"
In the lobby, Li Daoring patted the table.
Magistrate Zhang tried to raise his head, this scene seemed familiar.
He already understood why the mysterious person didn't show up, because...the other party wanted to drive them all out!
