Su Xiaochen and Zhu Zhitong couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Wen Hegui standing below and tell their whereabouts. Seeing that he and Steward Lin are so skilled, it is expected that they will not be able to run away if they want to, and they can only think about it in the long run after going to the ground.

The two of them got off the roof and approached the tearoom slowly, but they were actually looking around the path. Su Xiaochen thought that if these two people wanted to make a move, he only hoped that he could drag it out for a moment so that Zhu Zhitong could get out. Zhu Zhitong looked around, wanting to see if there was any tall branch, if the sprouts were wrong, he could use the silver bell rope to jump away with Su Xiaochen. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Steward Lin's gaze head-on, and seemed to see through her thoughts.

"There is no tree near this tea room, and there is nowhere to tie the silver bell rope, so Your Highness should come in with me first." Steward Lin said lightly.

Zhu Zhitong was horrified, how did he know what I was going to do, and how did he know about Yinlingsuo? Who the hell is he?

Wen Hegui took the deerskin bag beside Shen Xianyun, and saw that in addition to some paper and pencils, there was also a thick book. When I opened it, it was the book she said before that recorded the truth of the South China gold sale case in previous years. There is also an appendix at the back of the booklet, which clearly records every batch of gold ingots that Lu Wenchi smuggled from Nanhua Island over the years, from which day, how many were transported, and even the number of ships carried are well documented, which shows that Shen Xianyun was very wary of Lu Wenchi from the beginning, so that he could remember it in such detail for more than ten years.

He closed the booklet, sighed and said, "It seems that she has been prepared today, and if she wants to take me, she will go to see the governor of Southern Xinjiang non-stop." He handed the booklet to Su Xiaochen and motioned for him to read it before speaking. Su Xiaochen took the booklet suspiciously, and together with Zhu Zhitong, carefully read the Nanhua gold sales case again, waking up like a dream.

However, Su Xiaochen did find that the ins and outs recorded by Shen Xianyun in the booklet pushed all the reasons to Lu Wenchi and Wen Hegui, obviously for self-preservation. If such evidence is submitted to Fuxingtai first, it will be difficult to distinguish the authenticity for a while. But after Wen Hegui read this booklet, he didn't seem to care at all.

Su Xiaochen secretly thought in his heart, where is this person sacred.

Wen Hegui stretched out his left hand and said warmly: "I just shocked you, and now it's fine." Let's talk in a different place. After speaking, he silently glanced at Shen Xianyun on the ground, as if he couldn't bear to look at it, and stepped into the inner hall connected to the tea room first.

Su Xiaochen and Zhu Zhitong saw that Steward Lin was guarding the door, and they couldn't escape, so they had no choice but to follow into the inner hall. Wen Hegui took another tea and tea set, and began to make tea again, and said while soaking: "The things you want to know when you come to Nanhua Island this time are almost written in this booklet, if there is anything else you want to ask, just ask, I will tell you the truth." Between the words, it can be seen that it is the person who made a sharp move just now, but he looks like an ordinary family man.

Su Xiaochen thought for a moment and asked, "What is said in this booklet, is it true?" ”

Wen Hegui nodded and said, "Shen Xianyun gave me some credit for some of the things she did in order to protect herself, but the truth of the matter is almost like this, and it is not too biased. ”

Zhu Zhitong asked: "Do you have a grudge against Zhao Yu?" ”

Wen Hegui shook his head: "I don't know him." ”

"Then why did you help Lu Wenchi wronged him?"

Wen Hegui shook his head again: "I just told Lu Wenchi that there is gold and iron in this cave, and it is not easy to identify when mixed together. He had bad intentions and murderous intentions, and he had nothing to do with me. Later, when he came to me and asked me how to hide the mine, I just took the local materials, told him some of the wonderful uses of yellow iron, and helped him refine a few bottles of gold erosion water. What does it have to do with me if he pretends to be a god and a ghost? ”

Zhu Zhitong glanced at him a few times with the technique of contemplating the mind, and knew that what he said was true. But even so, it is sophistry to blame Lu Wenchi for all this involvement. Obviously, Lu Wenchi had evil intentions for Zhao Yu, but he didn't have a chance. Wen Hegui's appearance, as if intentionally or unintentionally, instigated Lu Wenchi to kill Zhao Yu, and this is why there is the Nanhua gold sales case.

"Who the hell are you?" Su Xiaochen finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

Wen Hegui smiled, who is he? It was a question he couldn't answer right now.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I'm helping you."

"But you are acting so strangely, how can we make us believe you?" Zhu Zhitong seems to have become very accustomed to the title "we".

"The two of you can think about it calmly, since you went to the island and were entangled by Shen Xianyun, I sent someone to protect you in secret, told you the news of the popular uprising that you wanted to investigate, led you to the place where the Nanhua gold case occurred, and let you meet the so-called demon beasts, if it weren't for me, how could Shen Xianyun turn against me today, and how can you know the truth? Isn't that enough to convince you of me? Wen Hegui's every word is irrefutable.

Indeed, without his guidance, it would have been impossible for him to understand what was going on in the gold sale case. Wen Hegui's arrangement seemed to be inadvertent, but he took them all the way until the truth was revealed, and even the key to the back door inserted under the white peony was very thoughtful, and it has to be said that he had been prepared. Su Xiaochen suddenly flashed a thought, such a person with complicated thoughts, maybe even Shen Xianyun, who had been friends with him for twenty years, didn't know who he was.

"But you have been hiding us in the dark, and you have deceived us, since you participated in it back then, even if you suddenly confess the truth now, we still can't believe you." Su Xiaochen shook his head.

Wen Hegui smiled: "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, but judging from the current results, I really helped you?" Isn't it? ”

Su Xiaochen suddenly felt that this sentence was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Wen Hegui pointed to the document book and continued: "Since you want to know the truth about the Nanhua gold case, this is the best evidence. If this book can be handed to the Fuxing Platform, the rest will naturally fall into place. ”

Su Xiaochen hesitated: "It's just that this is just based on the words on this book, how can you get the case?" ”

Wen Hegui groaned slightly, and said with a slight smile: "This matter is not difficult, there is still one of the four guards of the Baisha Battalion outside, just let him bring this document back to the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Palace, and report what he saw today truthfully, and the Southern Xinjiang Governor will play Fuxingtai, so there is no need for the two of you to bother more." ”

Zhu Zhitong was puzzled and asked: "Even if the governor of Southern Xinjiang knows about today's events, if he is afraid of the power of Peiguo and is unwilling to play, how can it be good?" Besides, Shen Xianyun is dead, wouldn't this guard tear up this document book again, wouldn't it be silent and endless? ”

Between the words, Wen Hegui had already made a cup of tea, and respectfully brought it to Zhu Zhitong and said, "If His Royal Highness is not here and is not seen by that guard, this matter is indeed possible." ”

The more Zhu Zhitong listened, the more confused she became.

Su Xiaochen couldn't stop nodding, he smiled at Zhu Zhitong and said: "Xiao Xiao, what Uncle Wen means is that you, as a princess, already know about this matter, then the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion will definitely not dare to hide and not report it, although Shen Xianyun is dead, but the guard knows about the changes during the period, he can be a witness, so that the human and material evidence is complete, and it is not impossible to overturn the case." ”

Wen Hegui's eyes were full of appreciation, and he was really a smart young man, which was gratifying. He took over the conversation and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, although the governor of southern Xinjiang is afraid of the Lu clan on weekdays, Shen Xianyun has been disobedient to the governor's mansion of southern Xinjiang for the past twenty years, which makes the gap between the governor of southern Xinjiang and Lu Wenchi quite deep. Now that there is such a great opportunity to bring down Lu Wenchi, he will never hold back. The two of them thought about it, if the Governor's Mansion didn't have such a mind, how could they deliberately send the guards of the Baisha Camp to help Shen Xianyun succeed? What's more, Lu Wenchi relied on his father's power to control the Nanhua gold sale case in his own hands from beginning to end, and the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion was originally the place under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Mansion, but he was forcibly isolated from the door and could not speak half a sentence, and lost face. Therefore, the governor of southern Xinjiang can be called an outsider to the Nanhua gold case, and if this outsider hands over the human and material evidence to Fuxingtai and proposes to overturn the case, it will show that there is no favoritism in this matter. ”

Zhu Zhitong thought about it, it was really like this, my sister tried so hard to overturn the case, but she had never been to Nanhua Island, and she had never mentioned half of it to her mother. It's just because I'm in it, and I'm afraid that my mother will say that I have a personal relationship, and in the end, if I can't turn over the case, I will be honest. In fact, even if you say it yourself, you can't escape such suspicion, after all, your mother also knows that she has a very good relationship with her sister. Now that the governor of southern Xinjiang is going to play the holy hearing, he can't find the slightest right or wrong.

She looked at Wen Hegui, and felt a little cowardly in her heart. What is the origin of this Wen Mansion, a Lin steward, can recognize the silver Lingsuo. An old man who hears the old man has a deep understanding of the affairs of the court.

Zhu Zhitong frowned and said: "Uncle Wen, this is full of the conspiracy between you and Lu Wenchi, if I hand it over to Fuxingtai, you will never be able to live, aren't you afraid?" ”

Wen Hegui laughed: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, I am already a person who is about to enter the earth at an old age, and the wind candle is not enough to worry about the old age, you have returned to the capital of Taiye Country, don't mention my help this time." I only hope that His Royal Highness will tell Her Royal Highness the reason for the Nanhua gold sale case to Her Royal Highness the princess of the prison country, and it would be good if he could overturn the case for Zhao Yu, who died unjustly in the past. ”

"But this Shen Xianyun ......" Su Xiaochen still felt that something was wrong.

Wen Hegui sighed and said: "She is also a poor person, she was as innocent as jade when she first entered the officialdom, and she had some ambitions, but she often lamented that no one in the court was difficult to be an official, and she had empty ambitions that could not be displayed. Throughout the past 20 years, it is not that she loves the people like a son, at least she has governed Nanhua Island in an orderly manner without any fault. In fact, if she hadn't brought the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion in, I wouldn't have killed her. ”

Zhu Zhitong's face was full of puzzlement, but Su Xiaochen came to his senses a little, but he would never believe it anymore.

Wen Hegui continued: "If she is alive, she may not be exposed in the court in the future, and if she climbs the governor of southern Xinjiang to make up some fictitious things in order to protect herself, it is not known, and the overturning of the case will inevitably cause extraneous branches." Now that she had written herself so innocently in that booklet, the governor of southern Xinjiang only had to say that she had died in the line of duty in order to arrest me, a key criminal of the imperial court, and she would have become a loyal servant. Thinking about her life as an official, it is also miserable to never marry. Although I killed her today, I kept her name, and if the court posthumously sealed it in the future, it would be regarded as the last small gift given to her by my foolish brother who had been friends for 20 years......" After speaking, his eyes turned a little red.

Su Xiaochen saw that his words and deeds were not leaky, and he was expected to refuse to tell the whole story, but at the moment, he seemed to be a friend rather than an enemy, and he was slightly relieved.

He made a gesture respectfully, and said: "Xiaosheng still has something unclear, I hope the old man will give advice." ”

Wen Hegui hurriedly returned the salute: "Bachelor Su asks, if I can tell Bachelor Su about it, I won't dare to hide it." ”

"When it comes to this gold erosion water and demon beasts, I still don't understand the reason. What kind of strange thing is this monster? ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Wen Hegui's mouth, and he called loudly: "Steward Lin, go to the kitchen to get some brown sugar." ”

After a while, Steward Lin had already taken a packet of brown sugar. Su Xiaochen and Zhu Zhitong didn't know what he wanted, so they just watched him take a handful of brown sugar and pile it on the ground, and then took the small bucket that Shen Xianyun brought, and carefully poured some of the gold erosion water inside.

I saw that in the small pile of brown sugar the size of a palm, several black vine-like things suddenly grew, growing extremely fast. And he walked up and down in a snake, like a living creature, and in an instant he was almost crawling under his feet.

Su Xiaochen suddenly felt a familiar smell coming to his nose, there was still a bit of sourness in the fishy smell, it was the smell he smelled in the cave last night, Zhu Zhitong couldn't help frowning and covering his nose.

"This is the truth of the demon beast, the size you saw in the cave last night is just the use of more brown sugar and gold erosion water." Wen Hegui raised his foot and stepped on one of the twisting vines, which was instantly shattered into powder, and black stains were also stuck to the soles of his shoes.

Su Xiaochen was secretly surprised, it turned out that this Wen Hegui was not only proficient in minerals, but also knew alchemy, no wonder Pei Guogong would come to visit him in person, he was indeed a master.

"This bottle of gold erosion water is also the evidence of the gold sale case in Nanhua, and I ask Mr. Su to keep it carefully and not to get on the skin. If it is accidentally stained, rinse it with clean water quickly, and it will be fine. Wen Hegui admonished, while putting the small bucket of gold-etched water back into the deerskin bag, handed it to Su Xiaochen and said:

"Without further ado, too late will change. Lu Wenchi has been keeping an eye on Nanhua Island recently, and it is estimated that Shen Xianyun's matter will soon be investigated by him, and the two of them must hurry back to the capital of Taiye State, and strike first. ”

Seeing that his words were sincere, Zhu Zhitong couldn't help but feel a little compassionate, and asked, "What are your plans to do after hearing the old man?" ”

Wen Hegui's expression was indifferent, "His Royal Highness Lao cares, the old man has his own ideas, and at that time, I hope to add another handful of firewood to His Highness on the Fuxing Platform." ”

Seeing his appearance, the two of them refused to say more, so they nodded, and were about to leave, when Steward Lin next to him suddenly stepped forward and took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Su Xiaochen. Su Xiaochen saw that it was a rope that was almost identical to the silver bell rope that Zhu Zhitong had used before. Steward Lin said softly: "The son is in great shape, this one is four feet longer than His Highness's one, it should be more convenient to use, and I hope to smile at it." ”

Su Xiaochen took it over, and Zhu Zhitong was stunned, speechless for a while. Zhu Zhitong thought in her heart that when this matter is over, she will tell her eldest sister what she has seen and heard this time, and investigate carefully to solve the doubts in her heart. Just thinking about it, Steward Lin continued: "I have sent someone to prepare the boat at the dock, and all the things needed on the road are all on board. I heard that the house has a complicated path, please come with me. ”

Wen Hegui also looked humble, and said softly: "The old man sent the two nobles out." ”
