Li Yan came to the county yard and found that a troupe was coming, with two troupes. The troupe and the troupe stood in the hall, while Su Jing was the leader of the case, as if he was trying the case.

"I have met the county magistrate." Li Yan held his fists and greeted him.

Su Jing nodded and said, "General Li is here. This is Li Bantu who came under the order of Liu Xun. He has something to ask you, and you must answer truthfully!"

Li Yan clasped his fists and said, "You must know everything you need to say."

"Li Bantu, please!" Su Jing said in a formal manner.

Li Bantou nodded and asked Li Yan: "Recently, there have been rumors in Kaifeng that the foreign chief of the Zhou royal palace was killed, and the place where he was killed was in Qi County. The murderer was the chief of the Qi County Township Army soldier 'Prince Li'."

Li Yan listened quietly and didn't say anything. Su Jing was angry, slapped the gavel and asked loudly: "Mr. Li! Do you think, is this happening?!"

Li Yan first clasped his fists to Su Jing and said, "County Master, do you believe that Beiyi will do such a thing?"

Su Jing really doesn't believe that those who can resettle refugees will kill the chief supervisor of the royal palace? Besides, even if they want to kill people, they will make careful plans. Even the inspector and censor who stayed in Kaifeng all day and dared not come out, knowing that this level is too low.

Su Jing looked at Li Banto and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

Li Yan is now the only force to defend Qi County, and his combat power is good. Small thieves dare not come to Qi County at all. The large thieves have all gone to western Henan and want to go to joint ventures with Zhang Xianzhong, who is in the limelight. If Li Yan is questioned for the lack of evidence, Qi County will lose its barrier.

"This" Li Bantou said in embarrassment: "Mr. Liu is the censor, and the news is reported. It also involves the Zhou royal palace, so he sent a villain to ask Mr. Li."

Li Yan said calmly: "I have never done it, and I don't know what the chief of the royal palace is. Some time ago, many refugees passed by here, some of whom were cheating and took the opportunity to rob them. I didn't give them porridge and drove them away. Maybe these people were jealous and wanted to create rumors to frame me to vent their personal anger."

Li Bantou said: "Whether it was done by President Li or not, please ask President Li to go back to Kaifeng with me. Liu Xunzhang asked President Li in person."

"Yes." Li Yan agreed casually. Judging from Li Bantou's words, Liu Xunzhang had no evidence at all. Since that's the case, he had nothing to be afraid of. Anyway, he had to go to Kaifeng, so he would go there.

"Slow!" Su Jing quickly stopped him, "President Li can't go! If Liu Xunshuo had evidence, our county would personally send evil people who violated the national law to Kaifeng. But now Liu Xunshuo has no evidence. He will take my defense humerus with just the nonsense of refugees. This county will not agree! Nowadays, thieves are everywhere, and if Li Xunshuo is not guarding him, the county will be worried."

Li Yan didn't know how powerful the inspector censor was. A small role like Li Yan could be directly imprisoned. Moreover, the inspector has always been reported and never verified, and he would write a letter to the emperor to impeach. At that time, the impeached officials had to suspend their posts first. In the court, these tricks were tried and tried, and the censor became the knife in the hands of various forces. Every time the party struggle was fought, the censor took the lead. Although this time it involved the vassal kings and the inspector could not handle it directly, as long as he reported to the court, it would be a big case.

Li Bantou bowed and said, "The villain is just an errand runner. Whether he is guilty or not is determined by Liu Xun's decision."

Li Yan didn't care. He bowed to Su Jing and said, "The county lord doesn't have to worry. This matter was not done by me. I am naturally not afraid of going to see Liu Xunguan. As for the safety of the county, I have already arranged it. I can come back in three or four days at most. As long as it is not a big thief who invades the country, there should be no problem."

Su Jing couldn't say anything now, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter to Liu Xunzhang. After you go, I'll give it to him." This is Su Jing's plan to endorse Li Yan.

"Please rest assured that the county magistrate will definitely bring you a humble position." Li Yan didn't understand Su Jing's kindness, but just felt that they might know each other, just to help bring a letter.

Li Yan then said to Li Bantou: "Then please ask Bantou to temporarily stay in the county town first. Now it has passed the hour of You, and the road is not peaceful. Let's go tomorrow."

Li Bantou nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Li."

After Li Yan received Su Jing's letter, he took Li Bantou out of the county government. Now there are basically no customers in the inn, so there is no need to book a room. He took Li Bantou to Huibin Building directly. Although there are refugees everywhere, some families with their families have moved into the county town, which has made the business of the restaurant more prosperous.

Li Yan ordered a private room and asked the waiter to order a jar of "Black Dew Wine" even though he served the signature dish - this is a good wine brewed by the Hou family in Guidefu, and it is famous in Henan.

Although Li Bantou and the other three were in Kaifeng, they didn't have much chance to eat some good food. When the dishes came up, they didn't need to be greeted by Li Yan, and they rushed to start eating. After the food was almost done, they started to drink. After a few bowls of strong wine, they became less restrained in speaking. Li Yan toasted a few more glasses of wine, and Li Bantou and the others were speechless.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Li Yan asked, "Li Bantu, Liu Xunzhang sent me to Kaifeng just by saying a few words from refugees. Isn't this too much fun?"

Li Bantou said with his tongue wide, "That's not the case, mainly because the head of the royal palace is really gone, and the New Year gifts are not delivered. After hearing this, the people in the royal palace found Liu Xunzhang and asked Liu Xunzhang to help check it out."

"Then there is no evidence in the royal palace, right?" Li Yan asked casually.

Li Banto smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. They said someone went to the royal palace to say it, but they didn't believe it. When they felt that this might be the case, they wouldn't find this person. But in the royal palace, they would say whatever they wanted. Even if there was no witness, they could still find a witness. Brother, you have to be careful when you go this time."

Li Yan bowed and said, "Thank you, Li Bantou, reminded me. But the head of the royal palace might have run away with money or been robbed by a thief, so you can't just press it on me like this, right?"

Li Banto drank another glass of wine before shaking his head and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Liu Xunzhang is a good official. Although he is timid and dare not go out to inspect various provinces and governments, he has never wronged anyone. As long as the people in the royal palace do not have direct evidence, you will not be in trouble."

"Oh, thank you Li Bantou for some advice." Li Yan said thank you, and then persuaded him to drink, saying, "Come on, let's have another drink. This is the industry of the former Shangshu, the Hou family of Guide (Hou Xun, Hou Fangyu's father), which is very famous."

Li Bantou was very restrained and buckled the wine glass and said, "Forget it, I'll have to hurry tomorrow, let's drink it later."
