The woman was the woman in the Qinglou who appeared in the prefect's room, and she took the purse gratefully: "Brother Chen, please rest assured, the slave family was ...... It was also the destruction of the family by He Xun that he fell into the Qinglou, the eldest brother gave the slave family this opportunity to personally cut off the career of the dog official, the slave family is really grateful, this kind of beast is not as good as the prefect will only make the local people live in dire straits...... Now that you have this money, the slave family will definitely live a good life, and will never practice yourself again, Brother Chen, the little woman has nothing to repay, she can only kowtow to you......"

"It can't be like this," Chen Li hurriedly reached out to help the girl, and saw that the girl's face was dyed with a few touches of red, only to realize that he was reckless, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and he was embarrassed, who had always been neat, "It's just that I was entrusted by the master, and I happened to find the girl, so don't be polite." ”

The girl immediately withdrew her hand when she saw Chen, as if she didn't want to touch herself more, her eyes flashed with loneliness, and she still smiled: "Thank you Brother Chen." ”

Chen Li nodded: "Then I'll find someone to send you out of the city gate now." ”

"Brother Chen, can you give me a ride?" There was a pleading in the girl's eyes.

Chen Li didn't think much about it, but when the girl was afraid that other men would not be familiar with it, he said: "Of course, ......" turned his head and saw Lu Xi coming to the intersection of the alley at some point, and hurriedly changed his words, "I will find a reliable person to send the girl, the girl can rest assured." ”

The girl smiled far-fetchedly: "Thank you, Brother Chen." ”

Chen Li said a word and walked towards Lu Xi without thanks, and the girl stopped him from behind: "Brother Chen." ”

Chen Li turned his head: "What's the matter with the girl?" ”

"Brother Chen, the little girl's surname is Zhang Mingqing, Zhang Qing will remember Brother Chen's great kindness today, Brother Chen is a good person, and he will definitely have a safe life."

"Thank you," Chen Li was a little moved, even if this woman fell into the dust by mistake, this kindness is also commendable, "You too, it will be fine in the future." ”

Zhang Qing smiled at him.

Chen Li finally left, he turned around and found that Lu Xi had disappeared, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked out, asking a few people at the entrance of the alley to escort Zhang Qing out of the city gate, and asked, "Where is Miss Lu Xi?" ”

One of them pointed in the direction, and Chen Li quickly followed.

After walking for a while, he finally saw Lu Xi's back, he suddenly felt a little nervous for some reason, and took a few deep breaths before catching up: "Why is Miss Lu Xi here?" Seeing that she was holding fruits and vegetables in her hands, and knew that she should go to the market to buy things from the kitchen, he reached over, "I'm also going back to the palace, I'll help you get it." ”

Lu Xi turned his hand to avoid him and quickened his pace.

Chen Li didn't know why, why was Miss Lu Xi weird?

He walked up again: "It's also by the way, Miss Lu Xi?" ”

Lu Xi finally spoke: "You want to go back to the palace?" Don't have to send it to someone's girl's house? ”

"You mean Zhang Qing?"

Even the girl's name is so familiar, and she is still "Miss Lu Xi". Lu Xi's face couldn't be more ugly, "Don't follow me, I can go back by myself." ”

"I'll help you get it, there are a lot of things, if you fall out......"

"Does Guard Chen think I'm unstable?"

Chen Li couldn't react, what does this have to do with being unstable?

Lu Xi walked without squinting: "I also know that I stay here to get in the way, and when the prince comes back, I will report to the prince, and it will be better to go back to serve the princess in advance." ”

Chen Li was anxious: "Why do you have to leave all of a sudden, it's not safe to be alone on the road." "They are expected to be able to return to Beijing soon, so they can't wait?

Lu Xi didn't say a word anymore.

Chen Li looked confused, and he didn't know where he had provoked others, was the girl's temperament so strange?

Prefect's Yamen.

There was only one candle burning in the dim study, He Xun wrote two long letters under the candlelight, put down the pen and handed it to the two people beside him, "This one is for the eldest master of the Song family, this one is for the eldest young master of the Liu family, and when they come back with the news after reading it, the letter is not necessary, just a message." ”

"Yes, sir." The two men withdrew.

He Xun sat on the chair decadently, he wiped his forehead, only to find that he was already covered with cold sweat at some point, thinking about what King Xiangyuan said today, even his back was soaked with cold sweat...... The prince wanted to empty him like this, it was still too simple, and he was not without roots in South China for so many years.

He Xun suddenly stood up again, lit a few candles, and the study was lit up at once, and he was on the shelf, in the cabinet, and in the dark...... After searching carefully, there was indeed nothing unsightly, and then he exhaled a breath and leaned back on the chair.

From the small county order to his current position, he didn't know how much cold eyes he endured, and finally became the prefect and could have some power to make some money, but he let the king of Xiangyuan block the way to wealth...... He doesn't fall lightly.

Liu Haocang read the letter, he brought the paper close to the candle flame, and the paper burned a blazing fire, and after a while, it fell to the ground as ashes.

Seeing that Young Master Liu didn't speak, the person sent by He Xun was a little anxious, and he said, "Young Master, my master asked the young master to reply to the message......

"You go back and tell your lord that we are always in the same boat."

The man was relieved, "The little one will take his leave first." ”

Liu Haocang waved his hand away.

He thought about it for a while and called the people around him: "Find someone to make an appointment with Master Song, and at the reading tea house at noon tomorrow, let Master Song be sure to make the appointment." ”

The man went out, and Liu Haocang said to the family next to him: "Go find the people of the Qingshan League, and ask them to send a killer with strong martial arts to attack the prefect's study in the middle of the night tomorrow, and the account book is estimated to be not in it, see if he will be tricked, maybe we can know where the account book is hiding." ”

He Xun actually dared to blackmail him.

As long as he gets the ledger back, he can watch the fire from the other side.

Palace.

Gong Jingyu sat in front of the bookcase and pondered, this He Xun couldn't see that he was quite calm, and he also underestimated him.

Unfortunately, the evidence is still insufficient, and it is still not time to give them a fatal blow.

If you can get the account books of their private exchanges, it will be ironclad evidence.

Where would he hide this ledger?

He had already sent the shadow guard to secretly search He Xun's mansion, and even searched the study twice, but he didn't find anything, this He Xun was really an old fox, and he knew that he had destroyed the evidence early in the morning.

But the evidence is not just the same, if other breakthroughs can be found, it can also have the same effect.

There was a knock at the door.

Gong Jingyu raised his head, "Come in." ”

Chen Li strode into the study, and he bowed: "Lord Wang." ”

"Did you find anything?"

"The prefect's people contacted the Song family and the Liu family." Originally, I wanted to knock people out directly to see what I was carrying, but I thought that the prince had the prince's plan, and I didn't dare to do it privately.

"In the past two days, I have sent people to keep an eye on these three people, and I must not relax at all."

"Yes." Chen Li responded, and his footsteps stopped in place after several hesitations.

Gong Jingyu looked at him: "What else is the matter?" There was a hint of impatience on his face.

Chen Li still had the courage to say: "Lord, dare to ask the princess if she needs manpower in Kyoto?" ”

Hearing that it was about Su Yingtong, Gong Jingyu retreated with a hint of impatience, and he straightened his face and asked, "Where did you hear the news about the princess?" (To be continued.) )
