The room of the old man of the Mu family is still very good.

Light gauze tent, the curtain is hooked by a silver hook and hung in a corner.

The faint incense exudes a beautiful fragrance.

Enough to lie down four people, the stepping bed was hidden behind the tent, Xue Jingyan moved quickly, but he was not afraid that his figure would be seen by the people inside.

Xue Jingyan ignored the various sounds coming from inside, and just carefully rummaged outside.

But this is not something that can be done lightly, if it is so easy for Xue Jingyan to find what he wants, there will be nothing difficult in the world.

And he was not so sure of what he was looking for, after all, no one could be sure that the Mu family had indeed participated in the Sheng family's gold-absorbing feast, which was just the worst speculation about Muzhou's situation.

I had to go back and see what the other people's results were.

He thought about it for a while, and he didn't know what Zheng Nan would come up with at that time, thinking that he still had a little expectation.

The journey back is faster than when you came, after all, you don't have to follow behind others, and you don't have to worry about revealing your whereabouts.

When Xue Jingyan returned to the inn, the other two did not come back.

So he was in the inn room, lit a candle, and waited.

Fortunately, I didn't wait very long, and I didn't really come back until daylight.

Zheng Nan was earlier than Xue Yuan, and when he saw that the young master's room was lit, he hesitated in the distance, and quickly knocked on the door respectfully.

"Who's coming, come in, the door is unlocked."

"It's me." Zheng Nan pushed the door in.

Seeing Xue Jingyan sitting inside, Zheng Nan glanced up at him, quickly lowered his head again, and said, "Young Master, you are back so early!" ”

Xue Jingyan snorted and said, "I found a little clue, and the rest didn't find anything useful, so I came back first." You came back pretty quickly, do you have any clues? ”

"This ......," Zheng Nan nodded, "There is a little bit of news, it is about the head of the Li family and the old man of the Sheng family." ”

He was about to continue, but Xue Jingyan waved his hand to stop what he was about to say, and said, "Wait for Xue Yuan to come back and talk about it!" You can sit down first. ”

Zheng Nanbiao blushed embarrassedly and said, "How embarrassing is this! ”

Xue Jingyan smiled: "You will still be embarrassed, you will sit if you are asked, I have not seen you embarrassed in front of Xue Yuan......"

This refers to the fact that Zheng Nan often does wrong things, and then is reprimanded by Xue Yuan.

Zheng Nan sat down with some stagnation.

He was quite able to speak well in front of Xue Yuan, and he usually didn't feel it when a few people were together, but at this moment, only the two of them were left, and he felt a little unsure of what to say.

He moved his legs restlessly.

He felt that the room was too quiet to get used to.

Xue Jingyan held a book in his hand and glanced at him.

Zheng Nan felt his gaze, and the movements on his feet paused.

"I don't know when Xue Yuan will come back, or you go back to your room to sleep for a while, and I'll ask him to call you when the time comes." Xue Jingyan said.

"Well, it's okay, anyway, we martial arts practitioners are in good health. And I slept during the day, and I'm not very tired now. Zheng Nan quickly shook his head when he heard his words.

"In that case, then let it be." Xue Jingyan smiled lightly and put the gaze in his eyes back on the book in his hand again.

The room fell silent again.

Zheng Nan saw that Xue Jingyan didn't mean to talk to him, so he simply thought about what he was going to say later.

After about half an hour, a knock broke the silence.

"Come in!"

The person outside the door pushed the door in, and sure enough, it was Xue Yuan.

"Young master, Zheng Nan, you are all faster than me!"

Xue Yuan saw the two people sitting inside, with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xue, have you gained anything?" Zheng Nan looked at the smile on Xue Yuan's face and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"This time, guess what I found?" Xue Yuan took out a ledger from his arms.

"Ledger?" Zheng Nan hurriedly stood up.

"Well, I haven't seen it yet. Master, take a look at it first. He handed the ledger in his hand to Xue Jingyan.

Zheng Nan looked at this scene, stretched out his hand and took it back without touching the account book, just looking at Xue Jingyan with two eyes.

"Young master, hurry up and take a look, I also want to see what the account book is like!"

Although he said that, there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

Xue Jingyan glanced at Zheng Nan, who was a little anxious, and then looked at Xue Yuan, who seemed to know nothing, and asked, "Xue Yuan, haven't you read this account book?" ”

"No, as soon as I found this ledger, I hurried back, and I haven't read it yet. It was also an accident to find this, I just heard someone talking about the ledger or something, and I searched for a long time to find this in the dark room of the Wang family. ”

Xue Jingyan nodded, and then did not open it, but put the account book on the table, and said to Zheng Nan: "Zheng Nan, didn't you just say that you learned about the relationship between the Li family master and the Sheng family, now let's talk about it first." As for the ledger, I'll look at it again when you all go back and rest. ”

Since the young master said so, Xue Yuan and Zheng Nan have no right to object.

Zheng Nan thought for a while and said, "I also learned from the voices of the Li family. I heard that the Li family, the Wang family and the Sheng family were originally the three richest people in Munan and even in Muzhou. It has been since the former dynasty. Taizu founded the country and changed Munan Prefecture to Muzhou, Munan is no longer a state city, and these families are more or less defeated. Among them, the Li family and the Wang family were able to maintain their superficial wealth a few decades ago, but the Sheng family fell to a low point, and it was the old man Sheng who saved the Sheng family at that time. It is also the Sheng family who seems to have done some business with Li Wang, and since then these families have become richer and richer. In the eyes of his subordinates, this business is the business of tobacco. ”

Xue Jingyan listened to his words, his heart moved, and asked, "In the past, Mu Nan City was a state city?" ”

"Yes."

Because many years have passed, if they are not from Mu Nancheng, they are not deliberately asked, and they are not officials, few people will remember this matter.

But since Mu Nan City used to be a state city, some things don't seem to be so complicated.

"Okay, I got it. I'll take a look at the things in the ledger first, and then I'll solve the case, and then I'll go to Erlong Mountain to have a look, and we'll be able to go back." It's been out for so long, and it's quite memorable. Go down and rest first. Xue Jingyan looked at the two.

Zheng Nan's hand shook and went out without saying a word.

Xue Yuan stayed and asked, "Young Master, we haven't found out about the affairs of Muzhou officialdom, and we don't know where those silver taels went, so just go back, doesn't it matter?" ”

Xue Jingyan laughed and said, "Have you forgotten Huang Yun, don't worry, he can do it." Especially looking at the flood of the Yunlan River this time, some things have surfaced, as long as I report it truthfully to my father at that time, the Muzhou officials will be punished, and we don't have to worry about this. We just came to Muzhou to enjoy the scenery. There is a lot of water, there is a shortage of food, one by one, and someone will pay for it. ”

"Yes." Xue Yuan arched his hand, knowing that he had his own ideas, so he retreated and walked to his room.

He opened the door, only to find Zheng Nan sitting in a dark room, and through the moonlight, he could see that his face was somewhat heavy.

"What's wrong?" Xue Yuan was a little strange.

"I ...... Alas, I'm just wondering, if something happened to Huang Yun, why hasn't he come back yet......" Zheng Nan asked his doubts.

"Oh, it seems that the young master secretly sent him on some mission, saying that it was up to him to investigate the Muzhou officialdom."

Zheng Nan clapped his hands and said, "Young Master is wise, rely on the four of us to come to Munan City to divert attention, so that Huang Yun can wait for the opportunity to act." The young master deserves to be the young master. ”

Xue Yuan took out the fire fold, shook it, lit the candle, and the whole room was full of brightness.

"I know you're worried about Huang Yun, but don't worry, he's measured, he's a little longer with the young master than me."

"Oh...... That's right! Zheng Nan nodded, and asked a little casually, "Brother Xue, what did you say to the young master before!" ”

"Oh, I'll just ask us if we leave Muzhou, what will happen to the prince when the time comes."

"Then what did the young master say? If we don't complete the task, will the prince punish us? Zheng Nan looked a little scared.

"How can the prince be as terrible as you say! Besides, you are the heir of the Zheng family of Jingshi, and you were sent to the prince to practice, even if I have something, you will be fine! Xue Yuan was a little funny, he didn't understand what his caution was, wasn't he always big in the past, and he wasn't afraid of anything!

"I'm not too afraid of punishment, I just want to do things from the beginning to the end, after all, I came for this, and I am not willing to go back like this." Zheng Nan said.

"Don't worry, the young master will report it truthfully if he says it. The prince was decisive in killing, and he would definitely not let go of these corrupt officials, and the Sheng family had already decided to sell tobacco and soil, even if the remaining people would not let go. As for the rest, if they really get involved in such a thing, I'm afraid it won't end well. ”

"It's not going to end well, hehe, that's the case...... Then I'll be relieved. Thank you, Brother Xue Yuan, then I'll go back to my room to rest now. Zheng Nan's expression changed drastically, and finally maintained a calm countenance.

Xue Yuan didn't notice the expression on his face, and when he heard him say this at the moment, he replied, "Well, okay." I'm ready to go to bed too. ”
