Chapter 7035 The Darkness Under the Lights

Ge Hongmin had just walked into an alley, when suddenly, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and from the top of the wall, three cold lights rushed towards him quickly.

Just for a moment, Ge Hongmin seemed to smell the smell of death.

"Shh, shh, shh..."

Ge Hongmin seemed to hear a sharp whistling sound in his ears, and when he realized it, his body couldn't keep up with the reaction.

All that's left is despair...

But at the next moment, several cold lights flew over from another direction, which happened to shoot down the first three cold lights.

Then, there was a whistling sound of wind behind the wall, as well as the sound of swords clashing, gradually fading away.

Ge Hongmin's body froze in place, and it took him a while to turn around.

He reached out to wipe his forehead and found that his forehead was already covered with sweat.

At this time, he was in the mood to look at the hidden weapon that fell on the ground.

It was a strangely shaped flying knife, streamlined, with a blade like a fish's belly, with a shining blue light on it.

Obviously, the flying knife was poisoned.

"Fortunately, I made the right bet."

In the past, Ge Hongmin focused on stability.

But this time, he gambled heavily, betting the lives of his family.

The bet is that there is a problem with Baicao House, and the mysterious son at home will definitely send someone to protect him.

He made the right bet, then he was sure that he was involved in the struggle between the two forces.

This is not a bad thing!
Where there is danger, there will be opportunity. At the moment when his wife is about to die of illness, he has no way out, and can only go one way to the dark.

Ge Hongmin thought about it quickly in his mind, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he hurried home at a faster speed.

When he returned home, he saw the book boy who was with the young master waiting at the door.

"The young master is waiting for you in the house, you can go in quickly." The book boy Miqi said lightly.

Ge Hongmin noticed that Mi Qi's hanging palm trembled a little...

He didn't dare to look too much, and after nodding, he quickly entered the house.

"Sit." After Ge Hongmin entered the room, he heard Zi Yan's voice coming from his ear.

"Now you can tell your real intentions." Zi Yan said lightly.

"Young Master Mingjian, I didn't hide it on purpose, I really don't know what will happen." Ge Hongmin smiled wryly.

"I don't mean to blame you. You should tell me clearly about the cause and effect of the situation, and you must not hide anything." Zi Yan said with a blank expression.

"Yes, son."

Ge Hongmin put the medicinal materials in his hand on the table.

"Please take a look, my lord, if there is something wrong with these medicinal materials."

Zi Yan stood up, she reached out and unwrapped the medicinal materials.

Then, she identified each medicinal material.

After a while, she raised her head and said: "There are some problems with these medicinal materials, and some extra things have been added to them."

"Looking at it alone, there is no problem, but when boiled together, it will produce toxicity. This poison will volatilize and produce poisonous gas."

"My lord, that is to say, this poisonous gas can poison me to death?" Ge Hongmin asked.

"That's natural. This poison is poisoning you. Your wife, what can you do?"

"Young master, that's right!"

Ge Hongmin sighed.

"They really want me dead this time."

"Who are they?" Zi Yan asked.

"The people in the county government office, the county magistrate Feng Yuanquan, the county magistrate Liu Yuanyi..." Ge Hongmin said, "I just suspected it before, but now there is at least a [-]% to [-]% chance that they want me to die."

"Where is Fang Feirong, the county magistrate?" Zi Yan asked.

"I don't know, Fangzhi County... I can't see through it, I can't be sure." Ge Hongmin shook his head.

"Okay, let's not talk about the magistrate, just talk about it, the county magistrate Feng Yuanquan and the county captain Liu Yuanyi didn't kill you before, why are they coming to kill you now?"

Ge Hongmin said: "My lord, this matter started a few years ago... At that time, I was still a small official in the county government office, in charge of some documents..."

"I have experienced some common accounts. Most people can't see any problems, but I can see that there are loopholes in some accounts."

"For some fields, the amount of tax paid is comparable, but the location of the fields is wrong. People who have not lived in the local area for a long time do not know that some fields are located in the mountains and forests. How is this possible..."

"I transcribed and recorded some of the problematic accounts, and hid them in a hidden place, not for doing anything, but as a means of saving my life. In the future, if something goes wrong, I can use the evidence to clear myself up. "

"Generally, most of the clerical crafts are handed down from the family, and these methods are also passed down from the ancestors."

"Three generations of my ancestors were clerks. In my generation, I wanted to pass the imperial examination to be a candidate. I didn't expect that because of the fraud case in the examination room, the results were cancelled, and I was not allowed to take the test again. I had to go back to the clerk. job."

"The craftsmanship passed down by my ancestors has not been lost, but I am still young and not careful enough. When I was eating and drinking with a friend, I accidentally said something... Then, the county magistrate Feng Yuanquan found an excuse to drive me home. "

"It just so happened that not long after I got home, my wife fell ill, and my child suddenly died of a sudden illness..."

"At that time, I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that life was unsatisfactory eight or nine times out of ten. I was too miserable and out of luck."

"After thinking about it, I felt suspicious. Those bad lucks were too coincidental."

"That is to say, you doubted your friend later?" Zi Yan asked.

"Yes, I didn't understand it at first, and it took a long time before I became suspicious..." Ge Hongmin sighed.

"What's your friend's name? What's his history?"

"The Liu family, Liu Shunyi, belongs to the same clan as Liu Qinshou, the treasurer of Baicao House, and is also a relative of the county captain Liu Yuanyi." Ge Hongmin said.

Zi Yan smiled and said: "I don't know how to keep such a big matter a secret. If you dare to say it after drinking, you deserve it if you are watched."

"However, I still have a question. If it were me, I wouldn't be so troublesome to poison you secretly. Instead, I would kill your family directly, and all the troubles would be gone."

Zi Yan speaks so directly, if it were her, she would never be so polite.

"I think they may be cutting the flesh with a dark knife. The reason is that they are not sure if they have any account books, and if so, where are they hidden..."

Ge Hongmin smiled wryly: "Maybe this is the reason why I escaped with my life, but my poor child, my wife, was in trouble."

"Is there any account book?" Zi Yan stared into Ge Hongmin's eyes.

"Yes, the account book, I hide it in a place they can't think of." Ge Hongmin nodded.

"Where is it?" Zi Yan asked lightly.

"It's in the county government office, in those files accumulated over the years..." Ge Hongmin said.

"It turned out to be dark under the lamp, no wonder they couldn't find it." Zi Yan was stunned.
