Su Cimo returned to the Su Mansion in the carriage of the Three Princes' Mansion, and after arriving home, Su Cimo took out the package from Wang Hao's Mansion in a panic.

At this moment, the real account books of the household department for the distribution of military salaries were in this package of clothes.

Looking at the account book that he had worked so hard to take out in his hand, Su Cimo felt a little uneasy in his heart, was he a little too suspicious of Tuoba Heng just now, he sent people to observe his every move just to be able to protect himself, but Su Cimo imagined him as a bad person, and he was jealous of him in everything.

Su Cimo suddenly felt a little remorseful in her heart, it seems that she has to think of a way, and it is good to hand over this account book to Tuoba Heng unknowingly, only if he gets this account book, I am afraid that this matter will be calm.

Hubu Shangshu Mansion, Lin Xiaoru since dealing with the three princes, suddenly heard the news of the theft in his study in the east courtyard, because the secret grid in the study is an unknown place, Lin Xiaoru was really afraid that he would go loudly to catch the thief, but let the third prince Tuoba Heng discover the place where he hid secrets.

So I made up a pretense and came to the study to search it.

However, after some searching, he did not see any figures, but found that several account books of the household department that had been hidden in the secret room in recent years had been lost.

The ledger records the true amount of food and pay given to the soldiers in the barracks in the month and year.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoru was shocked in his heart, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, no wonder there were many strange things today, first he found that there seemed to be traces of someone turning over in his own study, and then Tuoba Heng suddenly visited his home, all of which were too strange.

Lin Xiaoru thought of the account book, but the real evidence of his crime of helping the prince privately transfer the food and salary distributed by the imperial court to the officers and soldiers, if Tuoba Heng succeeded, then wouldn't he and the prince have to suffer!?

Lin Xiaoru angrily scolded all the family members in the house, and also scolded the subordinates who were guarding the courtyard today with fifty sticks, and then suppressed the anger in his heart a little.

Although he scolded the family, the loss of the account book is a loss, and it is an irretrievable fact.

The more Lin Xiaoru thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was very serious, if he didn't hide it from the prince, maybe when this disaster came, he would not even have a person to rely on, if he told him now, if there was still a glimmer of life.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoru didn't stop going to the prince's mansion to meet His Royal Highness the prince.

After Lin Xiaoru lost his temper in the mansion, he quickly got angry and left in the carriage.

At this time, Chen Feng, who was entrenched outside the Hubu Shangshu's house, saw Lin Xiaoru traveling in a carriage.

He immediately stepped forward and used light skills to catch up with the carriage where the Hubu Shangshu was sitting in front of him, until the carriage stopped at the gate of the prince's mansion, Lin Xiaoru personally got out of the carriage, and then walked quickly towards the prince's mansion.

Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately whistled in the dark, and soon, a small eagle fell from the sky, and then landed on the back of Chen Feng's hand.

Chen Feng immediately stuffed a written note into a small round bamboo tube tied to the soles of the feet of this specially trained little eagle, sealed the lid of the bamboo tube, and Chen Feng sent the little eagle into the air again.

Lin Xiaoru arrived at the prince's mansion, and the prince happened to meet the minister from outside today and returned to the mansion, and when he saw Lin Xiaoru coming to the mansion to see him, the prince had a proud look on his face, and he smiled very happily.

"Yo, Lord Lin! How do you have time to come to my house!? Did you already get all the food and salary I sent you!? So you are in a hurry to ask me to take away the money!? ”

The prince had a playful smile on his face, and he also looked relaxed, and he didn't seem to notice anything wrong with the face of the lord of the household, Lin Xiaoru.

"Ouch, His Royal Highness the Prince! This time, I guess we won't be able to get it right! Lin Xiaoru looked frightened, stretched out his hand and bowed to the prince and said.

The prince glanced at Lin Xiaoru strangely, and then he was a little puzzled why he said this, so his brows wrinkled a little unhappily, and then looked at Lin Xiaoru as if he was going to torture.

"What!? What you're saying is true!? The prince said in a questioning tone.

Lin Xiaoru nodded immediately, and then replied with a serious look: "Weichen doesn't dare to deceive His Highness, this time!" It was stolen from the Wechen Mansion, and then, the money account book that helped you transfer it before was gone, and it was probably stolen. ”

As soon as the prince heard this, he immediately got angry and slapped his hand in the face of the Tobe Shangshu.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the face of the household secretary Lin Xiaoru twitched, and he immediately knelt down for the prince with an aggrieved look of begging for mercy.

"Your Highness, forgive! It's true that there is something wrong with the lowly job, but you can't blame it for the lowly job! Lin Xiaoru immediately obediently knelt down and begged the prince for mercy, but the prince was so angry that his internal organs trembled, and his chest also rose and fell violently, ignoring Lin Xiaoru's plea.

"What did you say!? It's not your fault! Did I lose your books!? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked with a look on his face that was about to eat him.

"Your Highness spares your life! You don't know, the reason why this booklet was lost is because there is another secret! It's true that Wechen is not deceiving you! Your Highness, you must be aware of it and then punish the ministers. Lin Xiaoru looked at the prince's look of wanting to eat people, and he was timid in his heart, covering his face with one hand, and his body moved back unconsciously.

This prince looks gentle and elegant on weekdays, but when he treats them, the old ministers who are attached to him, he does not hesitate to punish them with the strength of eating people.

Really a person who can't afford to offend, Lin Xiaoru sighed in his heart for a while, and then immediately knelt up and replayed the matter of Tuoba Heng's arrival in the mansion in his mind.

"Your Highness, the loss of the ledger this time is probably the work of His Royal Highness the Third Prince. Today, there was a sudden news in the old minister's house that the third prince was visiting, and then when Weichen returned home, he saw that His Royal Highness the Third Prince had been waiting for Weichen at home early. Weichen was jealous in his heart, and he didn't say much. But the third prince stopped Wechen from going back to the study with the account book five times three times, and kept saying that he wanted to see a very different scenery in the Weichen Mansion, and finally came the news that the secret grid was stolen, and Wechen found a cover to prevaricate the three princes, and he didn't continue to chase me and let go, who knows, when I go to see, the account book in the dark grid has been lost. ”

Lin Xiaoru's frightened look told the truth.

After listening to his words, the prince was shocked in his heart, when did this Tuoba Heng dare to do it so obviously, the prince's face fell into a look of suspicion.

Lin Xiaoru saw that the prince was not only not angry, but frowned slightly and thought about something, and suddenly he was very unhappy in his heart.

"Your Highness, everything Weichen said is true, if you don't believe it, you can call the family in the house to ask for the truth! That Tuoba Heng didn't seem to have a good mind before he came to my house as a guest, and whenever I mentioned that I wanted to go back to the study to change clothes, he would find all kinds of excuses to keep me from going back. Your Highness, you must take this breath for the old minister! It's not that Weichen is unwilling, it's that His Royal Highness is too much. Lin Xiaoru looked worried, but more angrily said those words.

The prince thought about it, and immediately nodded, what he said was not wrong, this Tuoba Heng's sudden visit, and he kept pulling this Lin Xiaoru is indeed the key to the loss of the account books.

Immediately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry, reached out and picked up the glass bowl placed on the south pear wood square table on the side, fell to the ground, and shattered.

Lin Xiaoru saw that the prince was finally angry, so he continued: "Your Highness, you must think of a way! All this is important evidence that His Royal Highness the Third Prince and his subordinates went to the minister's house to steal us, this time, Your Highness, you can no longer be merciful! ”

The prince immediately nodded, and then said, "You're right! In the past, it was the palace that saw Tuoba Heng as lonely and pitiful, and was too soft on him. But he didn't think about it, now that his wings are hard, he dares to do things that disobey and the palace! This time! This palace will definitely not punish Tuoba Heng lightly, this time he must let him taste the power of this palace! ”

The prince's tone was very angry and arrogant, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

Originally, the account book was lost, and the household department was still worried about whether it would be lost to the emperor, so his official position and head might not be able to be saved, but seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so angry, Lin Xiaoru felt a little happy in his heart.

This is really good, let that Tuoba Heng pay for their mistake this time, the prince is blocking the emperor's punishment, and things seem to be smooth, and the wind will not blow to him.

"Although this time I forgive you! But don't forget! This time it's all because you're protecting the ledger badly! If there is a next time, this palace will definitely not easily forgive your sins! The prince's face was gloomy, and his eyebrows and eyes hid a sense of anger at Lin Xiaoru who was kneeling on the ground.

As soon as Lin Xiaoru heard this, he immediately nodded like pounding garlic, and said to His Royal Highness the Prince: "Since you have said this, the prince, Lin Xiaoru will never live up to the prince's expectations!" I also ask the prince to forgive me, I won't leave another chance. ”

The prince nodded approvingly, for in his case, unless he died, he would not give them a little more chance. But this time, it was indeed Tuoba Heng's fault, he actually dared to offend his prince's subordinates, so don't blame him for not letting him go.

"That's it! Go back! Remember, the matter of the ledger came back to me immediately! The prince said to Lin Xiaoru with majesty in his tone.
