Ge Hongmin had just walked into an alley. Suddenly, he felt the hairs on his body stand up. From the top of the wall, three rays of cold light rushed towards him quickly.

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

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Ge Hongmin seemed to hear a sharp whistling sound in his ears. By the time he realized it, his body could no longer keep up with the reaction.

All that's left is despair...

But the next moment, several rays of cold light also flew from the other direction, just in time to shoot down the first three rays of cold light.

Then, there were sounds of howling wind and the sound of swords clashing from behind the wall, gradually fading away.

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

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

Only then did he have the intention to look at the hidden weapon that fell on the ground.

It was a flying knife with a strange shape, streamlined, with a blade like a fish belly, with a bright blue light on it.

Obviously, the flying knife was soaked in poison.

"Fortunately, the bet was right."

In the past, Ge Hongmin always focused on seeking stability.

But this time, he made a big bet, risking the lives of his entire family.

The bet is that there is something wrong with Baicao House, and the mysterious young master in the family will definitely send someone to protect him.

He made the right bet, so he was already 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 opportunities. When his wife was about to die of illness, he had no way out and could only go to the dark side.

Ge Hongmin thought quickly in his mind, and after making sure he didn't miss anything, he speeded up and rushed home.

When he returned home, he saw the bookboy who was following the young master waiting at the door.

"The young master is waiting for you in the house. Come in quickly." The book boy Mickey said calmly.

Ge Hongmin noticed that Mickey's palms hanging down were trembling...

He didn't dare to look any further. After nodding, he quickly entered the house.

"Sit." After Ge Hongmin entered the room, he heard the sound of purple smoke coming from his ears.

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

"Master Mingjian, I didn't mean to hide it. In fact, I don't know what will happen." Ge Hongmin said with a bitter smile.

"I don't mean to blame you. You must tell me clearly the cause and effect now, and you must not hide anything." Zi Yan said expressionlessly.

"Yes, sir."

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

"Please sir, please take a look and see if there is anything wrong with these medicinal materials."

Zi Yan stood up and reached out to unpack the medicinal materials.

Then, she authenticated 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 individually, there is no problem, but when boiled together, it will produce toxicity. The poison will volatilize and produce poisonous gas."

"Sir, in other words, this poisonous gas can kill me?" Ge Hongmin said.

"That's natural. This poison is poisoning you. Madam, what can you do to deal with it?"

"Sir, that's right!"

Ge Hongmin sighed.

"They really want me dead this time."

"Who are they?" Zi Yan asked.

"People from the county government, County Magistrate Feng Yuanquan, County Lieutenant Liu Yuanyi..." Ge Hongmin said, "I just suspected before, but now there is at least a 70% to 80% chance that they want me dead."

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

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

"Okay, let's not talk about the county magistrate. Just tell me, the county magistrate Feng Yuanquan and the county lieutenant Liu Yuanyi didn't kill you before, why are they coming to kill you now?"

Ge Hongmin said: "Sir, this matter started a few years ago... At that time, I was still working as a clerk in the county government office, in charge of some paperwork..."

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

"For some fields, the amount of taxes paid is right, but the location of the fields is wrong. People who have not lived here for a long time don't know that some fields are located in the mountains and forests. How is this possible..."

"I copied and recorded some of the questionable accounts and hid them in a hidden place, either to do something or to save my life. In the future, if something goes wrong, I can use evidence to clear myself up.

"

"Generally, those who do clerical work have many skills inherited from their families, and these techniques are also passed down from our ancestors."

"Three generations of my family have been clerks. When it comes to my generation, I originally wanted to pass the imperial examination to become a civil servant. Unexpectedly, due to the fraud case in the examination room that year, the results were canceled and I was not allowed to take the exam again. I had to go back to work as a clerk.

Job."

"The craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors has not been lost, but I was still young and not careful enough. When I was having dinner and drinking with a friend, I accidentally said something... Then, the county magistrate Feng Yuanquan found an excuse and kicked me home.

"

"And it just so happened that not long after I returned home, my wife fell ill, and the child suddenly fell ill and died..."

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

"When I thought about it later, I felt suspicious. Those bad lucks were just too much of a coincidence."

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

"Yes, I didn't understand it at first. It took a long time before I had any doubts..." Ge Hongmin sighed.

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

"The Liu family, Liu Shunyi, is from the same clan as Baicaowu shopkeeper Liu Qinshou, and is also a relative of the county captain Liu Yuanyi." Ge Hongmin said.

Zi Yan chuckled and said: "If you don't know how to keep such a big thing a secret, and you dare to say it after drinking, you deserve to be targeted."

"However, I still have a question. If it were me, I wouldn't go through the trouble of poisoning you secretly. Instead, I would just kill your whole family and there would be no trouble."

Zi Yan was so direct when speaking. If it were her, she would never be so polite.

"I think they may be doing it secretly. The reason is that they are not sure whether they have any account books, and if so, where are they hidden..."

Ge Hongmin smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe it was because of this that I escaped with my life, but my poor child, my wife, suffered."

"Do you have the account books?" Zi Yan stared into Ge Hongmin's eyes.

"Yes, the account books, I hid them in a place they wouldn't expect." Ge Hongmin nodded.

"Where?" Zi Yan said lightly.

"It's in the county government office, among those old files..." Ge Hongmin said.
