The night is quiet and the moon is quiet, and the bangzi has sounded three times, and it is already the time of the child.

Bai Mingtao's study was locked and unsealed. The fist-sized iron lock did not stump Zhao Zhu, I don't know where he took out two thin bamboo sticks, gently reached into the keyhole and picked it left and right a few times, and with a light click, the iron lock opened in response.

Lu Li was worried on the side, and couldn't help but stretch out his thumb when he saw Zhao Zhu's speed so fast.

Zhao Zhu only raised his eyebrows, and the next moment he pushed open the door, grabbed Lu Li's waist and brought the person in, and closed the door.

The sound of chains gradually faded, and Lu Li patted his chest, suddenly feeling much safer. It's just that this study is too dark and can't be lit, how can I find something?

He began to wonder if this idea was a bit stupid, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu looked disdainful, 'Wait for you to think about the daylily is cold', and the old god is taking out something from his arms.

The baby's fist-sized beads exude a bright and soft light, like the moonlight is light, like the clear flowing water, not dazzling, but enough to help people see, it is a night pearl!

Lu Li covered his mouth.

Isn't this kind of legendary stuff only found in fiction and television?

The young man opened his round eyes and stared at the night pearl tightly, with an expression of a dirt bun that had never seen the world, but Zhao Shu did not dislike it, and asked slowly, "Good-looking?" ”

Lu Li immediately nodded, "It's good-looking!" ”

"Like?"

"Hmm!" Who wouldn't love such a beautiful little thing!

Zhao Shu stuffed the beads into Lu Li's hand, "Here you go." ”

Lu Li didn't think that Zhao Shu meant to give him the beads, because no one would give such a valuable thing casually, probably just borrowed him to take it, and then caught it happily, "Then you get closer to me, you can't see clearly when you're far away." ”

The young man's eyebrows and eyes were crooked and his smile was bright, but it was just a bead, but it was like having the whole world.

It's so coaxing.

Zhao Shu secretly thought, and when he turned around, he had to ask Yuan Lian to send the box of beads over, he remembered that there were nearly 100 beads in the box, as well as jade, white, pale pink, bright gold and other colors...... Teenagers must like it.

This makes him happy a little bit, and he will definitely like himself, and he can't do without himself...... No matter how bad it is, he has raised his taste, no one in this world can afford to raise him except himself, and he has to like it if he doesn't like it.

Zhao Shu was very satisfied with his idea.

Lu Li carefully flipped through the files in the study, trying to see if he could find anything, and remembered that Zhao Shu was very good at finding secret grids in Ciguang Temple before, so he asked him, "Lord Bai is very human, if there is a secret, it will not be displayed, you try to find out if there is a place to hide things in this study?" ”

Zhao Shu nodded in agreement.

Lu Li was still close to Zhao Shu at first, so he couldn't see it, and the file was turned over and sank in, so he took the beads and only cared about himself.

Bai Mingtao's case is mostly official business that Fu Yin needs to deal with, but the stack of resumes in the corner of the table is very strange.

Peng Yuanhe, Lang Guangqi, Xu Jianbai......

He had read these names in the newspaper, they were all foreign officials, with real power, and their official ranks were not too big or small, and Bai Mingtao collected their resumes...... Do you want to transfer them to your subordinates?

But these people have good political performance, good ability and a promising future, will they obediently be subordinates? Bai Mingtao shouldn't be stupid, he would do such a thing to create competitors for himself......

Zhao Shu knocked on a dark grid, found a box three inches long, two inches wide, two inches deep, and turned his hands upside down, his brows furrowed slightly. When he turned around and saw that Lu Li was still in his original posture, he walked over to look at the things in his hand.

After looking at it for a while, his brows furrowed even deeper, "Bai Mingtao didn't want to secondment these people. ”

"yes, you feel that way, too!" Lu Li turned his head, not wanting Zhao Shu to see that the file in his hand was particularly close, so he turned his head and almost wiped Zhao Shu's side face.

The temperature on Zhao Zhu's face was the same as on his hands, very warm. He said that he used to be a soldier outside the Guan, where the wind and sand were very strong, but his skin was not rough, as if there was a smell of sunshine, clean and refreshing.

Lu Li was stunned.

Zhao Shu only felt a warm feeling on the side of his cheeks, and a moist and silky touch hit, which was Lu Li's lips. Crisp, slightly cool, as if with the smell of grass.

His heart beat faster, and his blood was hot uncontrollably.

It was an accident, but it felt incredibly good.

Zhao Shu looked at Lu Li quietly, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes.

Lu Li knew that he was wrong, touched his nose and turned his face away, "That, I didn't know you were behind you." ”

Although Zhao Zhu thought about it crookedly, thinking that this was Lu Li hinting at him, after the last big heel fight, he knew that Lu Li really didn't mean to...... A little bit of fire came out.

Fortunately, the young man's shy appearance is also very eye-catching, and now the timing is not right, Zhao Shu let Lu Li go, "Bai Mingtao should be checking on them." He felt that in the next few hundred years, there would never be such a considerate prince as him.

"Did they do something?" Lu Li's attention returned, thinking about the newspaper he had read before, and there was no point in it...... He looked at Zhao Shu with a puzzled face.

Zhao Shu seems to have roundworms in his stomach, and he can always guess what he is thinking, "The Di newspaper did not point to it, but Bai Mingtao collected their files in advance, he should have suspected that they had done something but there was no evidence, and he wanted to find out the connection and verify it." ”

"It's related to his death...... Does it matter? "Lu Li has a headache, if other local officials are involved, I am afraid that this case is not so simple.

Zhao Shu handed the box he had just found to Lu Li, "There is a dark compartment in the corner. ”

"Where did you find it?" Lu Li opened the box and was so shocked that he almost dropped the box.

It was full of large silver bills, a dozen thick ones, and he knew that the amount here definitely exceeded one million taels without having to deal with it.

"Why so much money!"

Zhao Zhu's eyes flashed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, "Bai Mingtao...... His political performance has always been good, and there has been no bad official reputation or bribery scandal. ”

However, it is impossible to do business only according to rules and regulations and hide such a large amount of money. Lu Li's head was sweaty, his vest was cold, and the source of this money was not ordinary.

Bai Mingtao died very miserably, he was a friend of his father's life, and he didn't want to suspect Bai Mingtao......

Zhao Shu sighed, "Actually, there is one thing I didn't say, there is a list of account books brought out by the investigation in Chengdu Mansion before...... Related to Bai Mingtao. ”

Lu Li's expression was a little stunned, "Huh? ”

Zhao Shu left Lu Li angrily, and he has not been idle, checking the list of account books copied from Lu Li, and wanting to find out what he can find, he always feels that this silver corruption case is not simple. As a result, it was found that one layer was penetrated through one layer, and each layer was set up with multiple obstacles, and until now, he had only caught a few small minions on the periphery, and Fu Yin-level officials, and found two, one of which was this Bai Mingtao.

So he said that this time he didn't just come for Lu Li, he was telling the truth.

"I regained some of my memories and remembered an incident I had been entrusted with before...... Linked to the silver embezzlement case. Zhao Shu made up nonsense without blinking his eyes, "This silver corruption case involves a wide range of people, and before the context is clear, it can only be secretly investigated." ”

"The case of embezzlement of silver?" Lu Li was surprised that he was implicated in the previous case? Not to mention, he has a lot of trust in Zhao Zhu, Zhao Shu said that Bai Mingtao is related to the silver corruption case, it must be related, "Then these silver tickets are stolen money?" ”

Zhao Shu shook his head, "Without evidence, it's hard to draw a conclusion." ”

Lu Li thinks so......

It's late, and today's harvest is quite rich, and he feels that he has to go back and think about it. After putting everything back and tidying it up, Lu Li let Zhao Shu hold it and leave.

When the cool breeze was blowing, he asked Zhao Zhu, "This case of embezzlement of silver...... Can you tell me what you know? It's just that it's not so easy to make money by accepting bribes from ordinary people and wealthy businessmen...... Who is okay all day long and always wants to provoke the government to prison? ”

"Nature." Zhao Zhu's voice was floating, and there was a murderous aura in the night, "The silver corruption case is related to salt transportation." ”

……

Shen Wansha is indeed just like he said, he has been crisscrossing the casino for many years, his eyes are very sharp, and the gambling house he found is of a very high grade, the place is large, the partition is clear, it meets all kinds of customer groups, and the safety is very guaranteed.

Shen Wansha made a look to let Hong You stay away, playing all the way from the bottom to the top, and listened to the gossip, and the more advanced the game, the more exciting the gossip.

He listens to what is needed.

For example, on the day of Bai Mingtao's death, the low-level idlers and slippery bastards doing odd jobs provided a very important clue: the carriage started very steadily, and it was a Jianghu man in a green shirt who passed by quickly, and the horse driving was stimulated to compete with the horse, so he ran quickly. The horse was in a hurry, and when he turned the corner, he was unsteady and bumped into it, and he was immediately startled. The speed of the carriage is too fast, and if there is an accident, it can't be stabilized, and others have no time to save it, and the coachman has lost half his life and has not woken up yet, and it is normal for the Bai people who are sitting in the car to die.

Few wealthy businessmen in the middle discussed the cause of Bai Mingtao's death, but they just felt that Bai Mingtao was very good in office, and it was unfortunate that he asked for money in the name of him, and he was very fair, and their business was very good, if only the next governor was so good......

Shen Wansha happily won money, and listened with his ears until he sat in the box on the top floor and played with more money and status. It's a pity that these people are very shrewd and don't talk nonsense. After sitting for a while and getting no news, Shen Wansha felt bored, so he sued him and said to change his clothes.

He didn't just make excuses, his lower abdomen did have some swelling and needed to be solved.

Walking down the corridor until he reached the innermost and most remote room, before he could turn the corner, he heard someone talking in the box, and mentioned the word 'Bai Mingtao'.

The people in the room spoke in a low voice, with a cautious and cautious energy, as if there was some secret......

Shen Wansha subconsciously stopped and leaned his head against the window.

"Thang Long will be soon...... But Bai Mingtao died...... The whereabouts of the thing are unknown...... What can I do? ”

"I don't know if the news you bought from your mouth is accurate...... In case that color head ...... It has nothing to do with Bai Mingtao......"

"It must have something to do with it! It's irrelevant, he must have taken something good, otherwise so many people are looking for him...... I think we should look for Bai Mingtao's relics...... Who! ”

Shen Wansha was thinking that he couldn't hear clearly and wanted to lean forward, when suddenly the people inside were drinking, and he knew that he was aware of himself with his toes!

He immediately looked outside - where is Hong You!

It's a pity that there is no shadow of Hong Right everywhere.

God is going to die - Shen Wansha's little face wrinkled, I don't know that when the window was opened, he said that he didn't know the thatched house and asked if he could go along the way?

I think it's an excuse...... Others are not stupid.

Shen Wansha almost screamed, he really didn't lie, he really wanted to pee!

was worried, his mouth was suddenly covered, his waist tightened, and he was caught from behind! Tricks
