"I heard that Lin Jingdan was arrested. That's probably why we were approached today," Dong Qiliang said.

"Then Lin Jingdan was arrested, why did he come to us?" He Renke said timidly, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Relationship? The relationship is huge." Dong Qiliang looked at the three people sitting around and said, "If County Magistrate He doesn't know, Magistrate Cui and Magistrate Zhang probably don't know either, right?"

Cui Yuanshan looked honest and honest, "Stop being so secretive and just tell me."

"Magistrate He, do you know for what crime Lin Jingdan was arrested?" Dong Qiliang looked at He Renke.

He Renke: "What crime?"

Dong Qiliang: "Embezzlement of Yellow River construction funds."

"Corruption~" He Renke looked pale, with a large drop of cold sweat hanging from his forehead.

"Hahaha, it looks like Magistrate He knows something." Dong Qiliang said with a smile.

He Renke hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, "I'm not. Don't talk nonsense. I'm not corrupt. I'm not corrupt..."

Zhang Wei frowned and glared at Dong Qiliang, "Okay, why are you scaring him?"

"Okay, okay, I listen to Mr. Zhang." Dong Qiliang said with a complacent expression, "I just said it casually, I naturally hope that the four of us are safe.

How did you come and how do you go back?"

"Yes, yes, it's best to be safe." He Renke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face was still very pale, and he looked guilty.

When Dong Qiliang saw this, he had a clear look in his eyes, "I heard from the officials that there was a problem with repairing the dams of the Yellow River in the Yinchuan section, and all the materials used were rotten wood and yellow mud.

Then someone reported me."

"It's good to be reported. It has removed a moth for the court." Cui Yuanshan said straightforwardly.

"Yes, yes, it's good to report it, it's good to report it." He Renke agreed.

Zhang Wei glanced at Cui Yuanshan and said nothing.

Dong Qiliang glanced at Zhang Wei, this old fox.

"They must have asked us to come here. We should have all arrived, and people should be coming soon." Cui Yuanshan said and glanced at He Renke, "Master He, you don't have to be nervous. You are not afraid of shadows if you are upright."

Hey, just tell the truth."

"Yeah." He Renke responded on the face, but he was panicking in his heart.

An upright person is not afraid of slanted shadows, but the problem is that he is not upright. When Lin Jingdan was repairing the dam in Wuzhong, he accepted the money he sent. He originally thought it was passing money, but who would have thought it was life-threatening money.

Thinking about the five thousand taels of silver he put under the bed in his bedroom, his heart was pounding. This money was really hot.

Dong Qiliang suddenly laughed, He Renke was deep in thought and didn't hear it at all, and Zhang Wei closed his eyes and calmed down without speaking.

Cui Yuanshan on the side asked, "Why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of something funny."

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and an officer and soldier opened the door, "Is Zhang Wei, the magistrate of Lanzhou County, here? Come out and I will be summoned by you."

Hearing this, Dong Qiliang and the other three looked at Zhang Wei at the same time. Zhang Wei opened his eyes very calmly, stood up, straightened his clothes a little, and walked out of the room.

After Zhang Wei went out, the door was tightly closed again.

He Renke swallowed nervously and spoke cautiously, "Is this going to start?"

"Well, it's begun." Dong Qiliang said, looking at the closed door.

Cui Yuanshan didn't speak, but his expression was serious.

…

Li Su and Si Yunlan were sitting in the lobby, waiting to question the county magistrate and officers and soldiers who had been summoned.

"Hey, I heard that about thirty people came. When should we ask?" Si Yunlan had never asked so many people in one day before.

Before he came in, he looked at the huge crowd in the courtyard and felt that everything was dark in front of him.

"If you can't do it, you can leave." Li Su looked at the case file in his hand, not giving it to Si Yunlan at all.

"I can't? I'm very good. Just wait and see." Si Yunlan listened and looked out the door with bright eyes.

If you’re a man, you can’t say no!

"Hey, didn't you go call someone? Why haven't you come yet?"

As soon as Si Yunlan finished speaking, Zhang Wei arrived.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Wei, the lower official, has met, and the county magistrate is also here."

Zhang Wei and Si Yunlan were of the same rank, so they only saluted Li Su.

"Well, get up. I came to see you today because I want to ask you something. You have to answer truthfully." Li Su said.

Zhang Wei: "Understand, we are all serving the imperial court. If you have anything to ask, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Li Su glanced at Si Yunlan, "It's time for you to show off."

Si Yunlan:......

"Master Zhang, maybe you have heard that two things happened in Yinchuan today. One has been dealt with, and another very important one is still pending." Si Yunlan said calmly.

"You have indeed heard about the Yellow River corruption case, right? I heard that His Majesty is still in Yinchuan just for this matter."

You can't pretend to be smart in front of smart people, and you can't pretend to be a fool either.

"Indeed, Mr. Zhang's information is quite accurate." Si Yunlan said with a smile.

, "I found that Lin Jingdan used inferior materials to build the dam and enriched his own pockets, so I reported it to His Majesty. Now His Majesty requires us to strictly investigate the Yellow River corruption case.

The Yellow River flows through your Lanzhou, and Lanzhou is the first place Lin Jingdan went to after leaving Beijing. I wonder what Mr. Zhang will find out?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Wei frowned and looked at Si Yunlan.

Si Yunlan smiled and said, "Since Mr. Zhang is so straightforward, I won't be polite."

He put away the frivolity on his face and looked seriously, "Did Lin Jingdan bribe you?"

"No." Zhang Wei looked ugly, "I don't know what other sections of the Yellow River are like, but I personally visited the Yellow River dam in Lanzhou when we were building it, and I have been sending people to pay attention to it since then.

You can send someone to look at it, I can guarantee that there is no problem with the dam in our Lanzhou section."

Looking at Zhang Wei's confident look, one can't help but believe it. As for the five points, naturally one has to see it in person before he can be sure.

"Master Zhang, don't be so angry. You and I are both officials. This is the process. It's not directed at you." Si Yunlan said with a smile, "Master Zhang didn't accept Lin Jingdan's money. Did Lin Jingdan ever take the initiative to give you money?"

?”

"Sent it." Zhang Wei's expression was still ugly, "He came to see me the night he came to Lanzhou. He gave me a box with money in it, but I didn't ask for it."

"Okay, we have a general understanding. If necessary, I hope Mr. Zhang can cooperate."

Zhang Wei: "Naturally."

"Take Mr. Zhang down first." Si Yunlan glanced at the officers and soldiers beside him.

"Master Zhang, please," the officer and soldier said.

Zhang Wei handed over his hands and left behind the officers and soldiers.

After he left, Si Yunlan looked at Li Su aside, "I think what he said is true. Zhang Wei is famous for being selfless. People in Lanzhou privately call him "Zhang Qingtian"."

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know just by sending someone to Lanzhou Yellow River Dam to check." After Li Su finished speaking, he glanced at Songbai, "Take your people and hurry up and go to Lanzhou Yellow River Dam to check. The results will be found immediately.

return."

"Yes." Songbai bowed his hands and backed away.
