Chapter 734

"Then we would have certainly known."

At this moment, the County Magistrate himself felt particularly afraid, because he knew that the evil deeds he had committed here could not be hidden at all.

Especially when he saw Gao Jianli and thought of what had happened yesterday, he felt something was wrong.

Looking at Gao Jianli in front of him, just from his appearance, the other party was definitely a martial artist, and even had some strange techniques on him, because he could see calluses on the other party's hands.

Moreover, his arms were very powerful, and his eyes were sharp. Such a person was definitely not an ordinary person. Coupled with the fact that he had indeed heard from the accountant yesterday that his account book had been flipped through,

so at this moment, he began to panic, 957 especially since he knew the other party was Ying Mo.

At this moment, he completely panicked. He was heard saying to Gao Jianli in front of him: "If you had come,"

"then we would have prepared early. Wouldn't that be beautiful? At that time, you wouldn't need to find a random tavern to stay in. Isn't that inconvenient?"

"Furthermore, since Young Master Ying Mo has come, I will certainly arrange everything fully. Today's matter was purely an accident. I guarantee it won't happen again in the future."

Gao Jianli, as an extremely sharp person, saw all of the other party's various performances, including some of the thoughts in the other party's heart.

He also guessed it was about eight or nine out of ten, because from the other party's expression, Gao Jianli could see he was very panicked. The reason the other party was so panicked

was for one reason: because the other party had done something shameful. So at this moment, he was so panicked. And Gao Jianli was not a kind-hearted person.

381. Martial artist, rebellious heart! (Begging for subscriptions!)

He came this time to solve this problem, so the two sat down.

Gao Jianli was heard saying seriously at this moment: "County Magistrate, I have a question I would like to ask you."

"We came from the neighboring village. Why didn't we see any men in that village?"

"And along the way, there were relatively few men. What is the reason for this?"

The County Magistrate became nervous upon hearing this. He knew what the other party wanted to ask.

But before that question was asked, he still had a glimmer of wishful thinking in his heart at this moment, so he was heard saying: "When we were fighting in this area at that time, many men went."

"They all died in the war, so they didn't come back."

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli smiled. He had originally thought that after he arrived, the County Magistrate in front of him would soon reveal his true colors.

It was even possible that he would directly kneel and beg for mercy. Perhaps at that time, Ying Mo, seeing that the other party's attitude of admitting guilt was relatively good, would directly exile the other party. That was not impossible.

But at this moment, the other party was still lying, which meant that the other party's intentions were not pure at all. The other party might even have more evil thoughts.

So thinking of this, Gao Jianli felt somewhat angry.

The smile that had originally been on his face suddenly stopped at this moment, and then he was heard saying: "County Magistrate..."

"I have to tell you one thing: our Young Master came here mainly to investigate this situation."

"Including the fact that we have also seen some local families, who are very poor. If these men sent to be soldiers all died in battle,"

"then there would be regular money issued every month."

"Then why didn't this money reach the hands of those people? And so much time has passed, yet it still hasn't."

"Could it be that you really take me, Gao Jianli, for a fool? I tell you, we have already investigated this matter very clearly, including the account books in your accounting room, which we have all flipped through."

"You no longer need to cover up this matter. The more you lie, the more it means you are deliberately doing this. What kind of consequences will this cause?"

"I cannot guarantee it, but if you confess honestly now, then perhaps you won't die very painfully."

Gao Jianli was serious when he said this. After all, at this moment, there were still many punishments, some of which were even more difficult to endure than death.

So being able to die quickly was already the highest standard he gave the other party. Of course, if the other party could contribute all the silver,

then being exiled was not an impossible thing. But the County Magistrate had been arrogant for so long,

how could he surrender so easily? The County Magistrate was heard saying: "Don't tell me these things. I tell you,"

"I didn't do those things at all, so naturally you don't need to tell me these things. When the time comes, won't you know if you check the accounts yourself?"

"And even if the Young Master knows about these things, why doesn't he come and solve me himself? I know you are just guessing."

"That's fine anyway. Since the Young Master and his group have come to my county town, I will certainly treat them well."

At this moment, how could the County Magistrate easily submit? He knew that once he admitted his mistake at this time, he would be completely arrested.

At that time, the situation would only get worse and worse, and he might even be beheaded. He was so happy today, yet he would be beheaded tomorrow.

This kind of psychological gap was not something he could endure. One must know that the few years he had spent here could be counted as the happiest years of his life.

He could have whatever he wanted; whatever existed in reality, he could take it all. And because of this, many people below followed suit.

So the place he managed was simply not a suitable place for ordinary people to live.

And at this moment, he heard what Gao Jianli said. This was clearly asking him to go out and admit it himself.

And the final result was only to beg for a good death. So when he thought of this, a rebellious heart appeared in his heart.

At this moment, he directly stated that what Gao Jianli said was all fake. His goal was very simple: he wanted Gao Jianli to go back first.

And then, when the time came, he would prepare the next step of the plan, because at this moment, he was preparing to clear out the money and then prepare to run away.

Because he knew that since Ying Mo had come, he naturally could not stay in this county town, because there were soldiers and barracks nearby.

If he insisted on staying here at this time, he would definitely die in the end. So during this period, he still wanted to stabilize his spirit first.

And then do the next things. He knew that as long as he took the money away, then when he went to another place, even if the treatment was a little worse...

382. Playing dumb, ungrateful! (Begging for subscriptions!)

then his life would be much better than having nothing, and much better than dying directly. So at this moment, he was still playing dumb with Gao Jianli.

He was heard saying to Gao Jianli again: "Actually, my lord, you don't need to care too much about those account books. Those were made up randomly by our accountant because he didn't understand."

"So it is very likely that he made some mistakes. So I think you can bring the Young Master to take a look at the correct ones when the time comes."

At this moment, the County Magistrate was still quibbling here. Gao Jianli heard the other party's words

and felt that the other party was just farting. At the same time, he also knew that the other party had already heard his subtext and was just quibbling with him.

One must know that the so-called account books were all seen by Wu Mian, and Wu Mian was someone he had known for a long time. Even Ying Mo trusted Wu Mian.

So at this moment, he naturally trusted Wu Mian even more. At this moment, regarding the other party's words, he only felt it was nonsense and ridiculous to the extreme.

Subsequently, he knew what the other party wanted to do 957. He was heard saying: "County Magistrate,"

"I want to remind you of one thing: if you want to leave this city with that silver, it won't be easy if you get caught."

"Furthermore, with so much money, it will be quite chaotic to go out. At that time, the motive will also be relatively large. Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

"This matter is not a big deal. If you can admit your mistake properly, then it won't actually hurt your foundation."

"But if you don't admit your mistake properly, then I don't know what kind of consequences the final answer will have. I didn't come here today to do anything to you, just to ask you."

"But if you are ungrateful and still stubborn about this matter, then even I cannot save you."

"I think I have made my words very clear today. You must pay close attention. This is also a piece of advice I have for you."

"I hope you can understand that these things are very important to you. At the same time, we still need a relatively good county town regarding this matter."

"And not a chaotic county town, a county town spoken for by one person."

Gao Jianli had already seen that the other party wanted to run away, so he wanted to stop the other party and directly nail the other party here with words.

Upon hearing this, the County Magistrate's face turned pale. He knew that the current situation was indeed very unfavorable for him.

Although he had quite a lot of money under his command, the private army he raised was also very useful. Originally, he did not intend to take action against Ying Mo at the beginning.

Because he was afraid that something would go wrong on Ying Mo's side. But now that he saw this scene in front of him, he knew that the other party was determined to mess with him this time.

If he did not resist at this time, then everything would be over.

So at this moment, he smiled and said: "Then don't worry, we will naturally handle this matter. When you come tomorrow, we will definitely give you a result."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not leave. Since you have people watching outside, there is even less need to worry."

At this moment, the County Magistrate did not think about running away anymore. Instead, he was thinking about how to use his private army to directly kill Ying Mo.

Of course, he needed to use this day to mobilize his private army. One must know that although he was a County Magistrate, he was also an extremely arrogant character.

But he still did not dare to openly raise an army. He could only secretly put the money he had swindled in an outside courtyard.

Or have some of his own troops in some relatively private and remote courtyards in the city. As for letting him openly raise them outside,

he still did not have the guts. After all, if this kind of thing were reported, it would be almost a sure catch, but other things were not.

After all, those other things did not affect the overall situation, but this matter of his would affect the overall situation in a short time. So under such circumstances,

he also needed a day. Seeing the other party's attitude, Gao Jianli smiled and nodded, leaving. He could be sure that the other party would not leave.

So he went directly back to Ying Mo. After seeing Ying Mo, he honestly told him everything about today's situation.

After hearing this, Wu Mian directly blurted out angrily from behind: "It seems that this local County Magistrate is truly arrogant to the extreme."

"He can say such lies right to your face. I flipped those account books from their accounting room from the beginning, and there were only a few account books in their accounting room. Am I an illiterate person?"

"He is completely treating us as fools to deceive, and he even holds a cunning heart. I think, Young Master, we should solve him."
