The amount of bribes given by Qin Hao, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is no longer the amount that an ordinary scholar can bear, and not only that, but the amount is so huge that it is difficult to match ordinary bribery cases.

Just before the East Party could react, Shen Muyan of Dali Temple detained Qin Hao to Dali Temple as a suspect in a serious case with lightning speed.

For a while, it was difficult for the East Party to contact him, let alone understand what had happened. At this time, Xiao Xiang of the Western Party also personally sent people to guard the outside of Dali Temple, not allowing irrelevant personnel to set foot, and threatened to investigate it thoroughly since it was to be investigated.

Yongxing Street, the flow of people is bustling, and the river is endless.

The little beggar was holding two steamed buns in his arms, and his dark eyes glanced at his companion across the street, and then stared at the carriage speeding by, picking up a gap, and was about to rush over, when a carriage rushed out quickly, almost hitting the little beggar.

"Look for death!" The coachman's fierce scolding came from the side, and the carriage did not stop, but passed by.

The little beggar was shocked and shocked.

Immediately after that, several more carriages jumped out, and with the coachman's scolding, the little beggar was so frightened that he hid and stumbled.

When he finally reached the opposite street, the little beggar was overjoyed, and had no time to care, so he rushed forward. Just then, a carriage galloped and came straight up to the little beggar.

When the little beggar boarded, the three spirits were discouraged, and the pestle remained motionless in place. Seeing that it was about to collide, the coachman screamed, and the carriage stopped.

The little beggar had fallen to the ground in fright, and the steamed bun in his arms fell out, rolled a few times, and was soon crushed by the passing carriage.

The coachman leaned out and looked at it and said, "Are you alright?" The little beggar was stunned and did not respond.

"What's wrong?" A gentle female voice came from inside the carriage.

"Back to my lord, a little beggar suddenly jumped out." The coachman said respectfully. After the woman in the car whispered a few more words, the coachman took a few steps forward on his horse. The carriage stopped beside the little beggar.

"Little brother, are you alright?" The curtain of the car lifted slightly, and the woman in the car asked softly.

The little beggar vaguely glimpsed the beautiful shadow in the car through the crack in the curtain, and suddenly looked stunned, "No...... It's okay. He stammered.

The woman in the car breathed a sigh of relief and said casually: "Where is the little brother?" Why don't you see your family? ”

The little beggar stiffened, his head shrank unconsciously, and said: "I am from Fenzhou, and my hometown suffered a disaster some time ago, so I was scattered to Anyang to beg for a living......

The woman in the car paused, paused for a while, and then asked, "Little brother, do you know where the back door of Cailiyuan goes?" ”

The little beggar was stunned for a moment, hesitantly stretched out his dirty hand, and pointed to the alley not far ahead. The woman in the car nodded, smiled gently, and said, "Thank you, little brother." Then a plain hand came out, and in his hand was a money bag.

"These two little brothers should be used as money for the way back to their hometown, it's not good to be wandering all the time." The woman said.

The little beggar's eyes lit up, but for a moment, he lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Miss...... It's just that there are continuous disasters and heavy taxes in Fengzhou, and life is really unbearable...... It's better to live outside. ”

Hearing this, the hand holding the money bag couldn't help but stiffen. A woman's voice came from a little car again: "It's okay for the little brother to take this money, and I have the right to ask for directions." ”

The little beggar was shocked, looked at the woman in the car, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Bodhisattva!" Thank you, Bodhisattva! ”

The people in the carriage were speechless, just sighed softly, and let the carriage go.

The carriage turned all the way into the alley before stopping.

"Your Excellency has arrived." The coachman got out of the carriage and looked around, and then made sure that there was no one before he said to the carriage. The curtain was lifted, and a delicate face poked out. He looked around, then jumped out of the carriage.

"You wait here, I'll be out in a moment." Said at the beginning of the month.

The coachman nodded, and sat back into the carriage. glanced at it on the fourth day of the first month, and then flashed into the Caili Garden. There was also a horse-drawn carriage parked on the opposite street outside the alley.

"Miss, see clearly, it's Miss Hang." Xianyin stepped forward to the window and whispered.

The people in the car were silent for a while and said, "Which building did you say she entered?" ”

"Cailiyuan."

"Okay, got it. Let's go. ”

"Yes."

Colored glaze garden, private room.

At the beginning of the month, he sat indoors, his head slightly tilted, and he was stunned when he looked at the curling green smoke in the incense burner. After a while, the voice of a maid came from outside the room.

"Sister Yingshi, she's inside."

The door was pushed open. A beautiful face came into view, and Yingshi walked in with graceful steps. At the beginning of the month, I hurriedly got up.

Jiang Yue was so nervous, Yingshi couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled: "Lord Hang, it's really polite, sit down." ”

At the beginning of the month, I saw that she didn't have the arrogant and arrogant appearance of last time, and after thinking about it, it shouldn't be so difficult to get along with, so she said: "How is the matter of the girl when she was entrusted with the warbler?" ”

Yingshi pouted lightly and said: "This news is really not easy to check, Lord Hang knows that the girl under my command does not know how much wine she poured into the master book of Dali Temple to get this account book." ”

As he spoke, he took out a thin booklet from his bosom and handed it to the beginning of the month.

At the beginning of the month, his eyes lit up, he took the booklet, sat down hurriedly, and quickly flipped through it. Ying Shi was curious, so she also squatted beside her, watching her quickly look through the account books.

"Lord Hang, what can you see from this dense writing?"

At the beginning of the month, he didn't reply to her directly, but looked up and asked, "Is there paper and pen here?" ”

Ying Shi was stunned, "Yes, you wait." ”

Soon, a maid brought something to the study. At the beginning of the month, spread out the paper, hold a pen in one hand, hold a book in the other, and scribble on the paper. Yingshi looked at it, and saw that at the beginning of the month, some numbers and times in the account book were copied on the paper little by little, and it was almost half an hour to copy.

Just when the warbler felt a sore neck and was about to get up, he saw the moon suddenly stop, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Lord Hang, what's wrong?" Ying Shi wondered.

At the beginning of the month, he still didn't reply, but threw the book in his hand to the side, picked up the paper full of letters and looked at it again, and the surprise in his eyes gradually turned gloomy.

"Lord Hang, what's wrong?" Yingshi was really uncomfortable by her appearance.

But when he saw the beginning of the month, he slowly put down the paper in his hand, looked at Yingshi, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this tax case is not so simple......

"What do you mean, sir?

"Officials, there may be people involved." At the beginning of the month, you said.

Night.

A figure flashed out of the back door of Sufu, and the figure was hiding under the elm tree at the back door, as if waiting for someone.

Soon a small carriage came and stopped at the edge of the elm tree. When the figure saw it, he leaned over slightly and called softly, "Miss Yun? ”

Soon a sweet female voice came from inside the carriage, "Sister is really punctual." ”

Hearing this, the figure stepped forward and whispered, "Our young lady followed that Miss Hang all the way to Cailiyuan today, and then came back." ”

The car was quiet for a while, and the delicate voice sounded again, "Thank you, sister, this is the fat powder money promised to my sister." As he spoke, the curtain was lifted slightly, and a small money bag was handed out.

The man was overjoyed, stepped forward and took the money bag and thanked him.

Then he dodged back to his house, and the carriage also clattered all the way away. (To be continued.) )
