He covered his shoulders, his expression was flustered, and he was obviously extremely frightened.

Liu Changqing looked at him impatiently. Just as he was about to say something, Qi Ying had already changed into armor and walked over quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the grain merchant has also been assassinated."

"What?" Liu Changqing pretended to be shocked and asked in a hurry: "What's the situation?"

"Fortunately, we were prepared for a long time, but the assassin suspected of being a dead soldier. Before being arrested, he committed suicide by taking poison." Qi Ying said.

Hearing this, Liu Changqing didn't react much. Instead, Lin Youfu felt nervous and asked subconsciously: "Liu... Lord Liu, can you find out the identity of the assassin?"

"What do you think?" Liu Changqing glanced at him lukewarmly.

"This...this..." Lin Youfu swallowed.

Liu Changqing no longer paid attention to him, but looked at Qi Ying and said, "You can transfer the grain merchant secretly and send more personnel immediately. Be sure to ensure their safety. This person is very important. You must not let the other party kill and silence him!"

"I understand!" Qi Ying left with his fists.

After leaving, Lin Youfu was a little panicked and said quickly: "Mr. Liu, this assassin is rampant and has unknown origin. I... I also ask the Lord to send more people to protect him."

"Hmph." Liu Changqing sneered and said without hesitation: "Your life is no longer important to me. I still have a lot of things to be busy with and don't have so much energy to take care of you! You can do it yourself!"

As he spoke, he turned around and left.

"What!? Sir, you can't do this..." Lin Youfu shouted and hurriedly followed.

Seeing him like this, Liu Changqing stopped in great impatience and said angrily: "Lin Youfu! Just because you steal the official grain and fill your personal bags, the head is no longer guaranteed! Don't tell me that there is insufficient evidence,

I am not afraid to tell you that I will send a letter to the king soon. When the power of heaven comes, you will be crushed to pieces!"

As he said that, he sneered again: "Do you think someone will come to save you? Are you too naive? Look at Wei Zhong and Yang Taihe, who are engaged in Liangzhou, are the first to be arrested, so

It’s been a long time since I was a big shot. Does anyone dare to come and catch him? Not to mention you are a small county magistrate!"

"Do you not know why the assassin killed you?"

Ah!? After hearing what he said, Lin Youfu couldn't help but staggered back two steps, and his heart was suddenly overwhelmed.

Yes, no one dares to save Liangzhou from working. Will they come to save themselves, the small county magistrate?

Since I dare not save myself, I am controlled. To prevent the matter from being exposed, the best way is undoubtedly to kill myself to silence me!

Thinking of this, Lin Youfu's eyes became even more frightened after the assassination today.

Liu Changqing glanced at him and left directly.

When he returned to the study, Qi Ying also stepped in and said with a smile: "Sir, after this, Lin Youfu was scared very much. His mentality may have changed a little."

"Yeah." Liu Changqing nodded and said, "Lin Youfu is not a fool. He now knows that things can't be covered up. In addition, as an assassin, it is very likely that he will choose to cooperate with us in order to survive."

"My Lord is right." Qi Ying said, and couldn't help but say, "This time I will let Bei Zhi see the situation in the officialdom with Master Liangzhou."

"Some corrupt officials are nothing more than shirking the blame, perfunctory and making a superficial trick. This is their usual trick." Liu Changqing said: "But then again, although we cheated Lin Youfu once today, it is difficult to protect the other party.

They will really send assassins to kill people to silence them, so they will also need to protect them in secret."

"Don't worry, my humble position has been arranged." Qi Ying said: "They really want to send assassins to come, and they just happened to catch us the current situation."

"Well..." Liu Changqing nodded again and said, "Give Lin Youfu some time, he still needs to consider it."

The next day, Lin Youfu's room.

At present, the wound on his shoulder has been simply bandaged, but after the assassin incident last night, he was worried and even opened the door from time to time, wanting to leave here.

But he is under house arrest now, so the two guards at the door would not let him leave.

After paced back and forth in the room, Lin Youfu couldn't help but open the door again.

The two guards frowned immediately, and one of them said impatiently: "Mr. Lin, are you done?"

Obviously, this has happened many times.

This is because of Lin Youfu's inner anxiety and uneasiness. He looked outside and said, "No, why are you two here? You know, yesterday, an assassin lurking in, trying to hurt my life, so he should have sent more people.

The manpower is right."

"Our duty is to watch Lord Lin, and as for the rest, it is not our responsibility." A guard said lukewarmly.

"You, what do you mean!" Lin Youfu said dissatisfiedly: "I am now involved in major issues. Do you know that they are going to kill people to silence them? Why don't you go and call more people here!"

"What kind of murder is silence? I don't understand what the lord said." The guard replied.

Hearing this, Lin Youfu became more and more anxious. He had been thinking about it all day and had been hesitating.

Seeing that he had a pointless argument with the guards, he was about to go back to the room, but after a pause, he suddenly said, "You go and inform Lord Liu, and I said I have an urgent matter to ask for a meeting."

When the two guards heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

In the afternoon of the same day, in the hall.

Liu Changqing glanced at Lin Youfu standing below, and said impatiently: "Tell me, I don't have much time."

The latter swallowed, first organized the language, and then said tentatively: "The official is brave enough to ask Lord Liu, have you submitted the official documents here to the king?"

"This is not something you can ask about." Liu Changqing said without hesitation.

"Haha, yes, yes..." Lin Youfu smiled dryly and said, "But sir, what the Xiaguan wants to ask is, if the Xiaguan can provide important information and clues, can it... be able to...

If you lose your merits and sins, you will save your life."

"Hmph." Liu Changqing sneered: "Are you more important than a grain merchant? Now, whether you are with me or not is no longer important to me."

The more he said this, the more he became more panicked. He said quickly: "My lord is such a bad word. Grain merchants are just the smallest small role. What he knows, the officials know, but he doesn't know,

The official knows it too.”

"Oh? In this way, I underestimate you." Liu Changqing's heart moved.

Lin Youfu said: "It's just... I just don't know if the adults can save one or two..."

What does this sentence mean? It means that Lin Youfu already has plans to cooperate.
