The three of them quietly followed the housekeeper, and after the housekeeper returned to the house, Liu Hao saw that the housekeeper's light was out, and he planned to do it. Liu Chengye hurriedly stopped Liu Hao and signaled not to startle the snake. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Liu Hao jumped on the roof, lifted a piece of tile, blew the incense in, and after a while, the housekeeper slept like a dead pig.

Liu Hao and Liu Chengye gently pushed open the door and tiptoed in. In front of him is a bed, a silk gauze tent with a hanging roof, the tent is tied up by the coral hook on both sides, the pillow is beautifully laid on the pillow, and on the side is a table case, on which are stacked some books, books, books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and inkstones, and its luxury can be seen.

The two bypassed the screen and entered the inner room, Liu Hao lifted the curtain and saw the housekeeper lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully. The housekeeper slept in the internal test, changed into a clean middle coat after washing, and his hair was still stained with damp mist, apparently not long after resting.

Liu Hao gently picked up the housekeeper, and Liu Chengye hurriedly looked for the dark compartment on the bed. After fumbling for a while, he found that there was a button under the pillow, Liu Chengye pressed the button, and with a "squeak", two small doors opened in the middle of the bed, and there were nothing else in it, only a few letters. Liu Chengye took out the letter, which clearly recorded the time, place and items of the Wang family's transactions with Houjin in recent years.

Liu Chengye took out the letter and put a few pieces of blank paper in it. Then he put the letter back in its place, and at the same time motioned to Liu Hao to put the housekeeper up. Liu Hao gently put the housekeeper up, and by the way, the quilt was restored to its original state, and then the two withdrew. Liu Danshan was in the wind at the door, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he gestured and asked if it was successful, Liu Chengye nodded, and then the three of them left the palace.

After the three returned to the inn, they found that no one was eavesdropping, so they began to discuss the next plan.

"Big brother, do you want to enter the palace now?"

"Big brother, if you want me to see that the other six families should also have letters of treason against the enemy, in my opinion, all the evidence should be searched in one fell swoop, and then see what those traitors have to say."

Liu Chengye thought for a while and said: "Two brothers, do you still remember what the housekeeper of the Fangcai Wangfu said, Houjin needs a lot of grain and grass in the near future, in my opinion, we will find out where they are traded, and then they will be all in one go." Catch it and see what those traitors have to say. ”

"What the eldest brother said is very true."

"As for this letter, find a safe place, hide it first, and then find the evidence of the other six families, and then hand it over to the Holy One to deal with."

"Big brother is wise!"

"Tonight, everyone is tired, let's go back to our rooms to rest. I'll go to other homes tomorrow to find out the news. ”

As soon as the words fell. Liu Hao and Liu Danshan retreated.

The next day, Shopkeeper Liu saw that it was already late when the three of them got up, and couldn't help asking, "Three brothers, didn't you rest last night?" ”

Liu Chengye hurriedly explained: "Brother Liu misunderstood, the three of my brothers have been traveling for days, and they were finally able to rest for a good night last night, and they inevitably overslept. ”

Shopkeeper Liu snorted and said, "In this way, my brother misunderstood." The three of you haven't had breakfast yet, right? ”

Liu Chengye said: "Thank you brother for your concern. It's just that the three of my brothers are going out to look for business opportunities, so I thank my brother for his kindness. After that, he took Liu Hao and Liu Danshan out of the door.

As soon as he left the door of the inn, Liu Hao said with some dissatisfaction: "Big brother, why don't you eat in the inn." Brother is still hungry! ”

Liu Chengye said in a low voice: "There must be a demon when things go wrong, we are not related to the shopkeeper surnamed Liu, and we have encountered it elsewhere if it is ugly, whether we know it or not is two different things, why did he invite us to dinner?" I feel that there must be some medicine in the meal, and when the time comes, we will be robbed of our money, and he will be able to run away as soon as he sells the inn. ”

"No, he doesn't look like that person." Liu Danshan said.

"If it comes out this time and the news leaks out, it will be a small matter for you and me to lose our heads, and as soon as Houjin's batch of grain and grass arrives, we will attack my Daming, and then we will be the eternal sinners of Daming. The Holy One trusts us so much, and we should be even more careful not to live up to the Holy One's trust. ”

Liu Chengye saw that the two of them looked a little dissatisfied, so he could only throw out sweet dates again and comforted: "Okay, don't live in an inn these days, change one a day, work hard first, wait for the matter to be clarified, I will definitely play the emperor when I return to Beijing, and ask for a reward for the two of you, and it will not be a matter of minutes to be promoted to become rich." ”

The three of them found another inn, and after eating, they pretended to go out to look for business opportunities, and when it was dark, the three of them pretended not to find business opportunities, and returned to the inn in frustration.

It was late at night, and the three of them were masked and wearing night clothes, and secretly entered Fan's mansion. The palace was patrolled for an hour at night, but the Fan Mansion had a patrol team in a quarter of an hour. It can be seen that the Fan Mansion must be hiding an ulterior secret.

The three of them sneaked to the roof of the study, gently uncovered the tile, and saw that the seven people in the study were Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa.

Fan Yongdou said: "Tonight, the elder brother called the six virtuous brothers to come for the purpose of raising food for Hong Taizu. This is a secret letter written by Hong Taizu, in which he explained that the six virtuous brothers cooperated with the elder brother to transport the grain and grass to Zhangjiakou. Then it was handed over to Wang Dayu, and Wang Dayu escorted him out of the customs and handed it over to Hong Taizu. ”

Wang Dengku said with a sad face: "I also received the letter, but there are too many grains and grass this time, I'm afraid I will have to raise it for a while." ”

Tian Shenglan said: "This time, it is three times as much grain and grass as last time, and the difficulty of raising it can be imagined. ”

Fan Yongdou waved his hand and said: "It is difficult to show that Hong Taizu trusts us, but Hong Taizu also knows our difficulties, and specially gave us half a month, as long as the grain and grass are transported to Zhangjiakou before November." ”

"As for the silver, in order to show his sincerity, Hong Taizu prepared the silver in advance, and the six virtuous brothers can't get along with anything, but they can't get along with money." After speaking, Fan Yongdou took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, each of which had a full amount of 1,000 taels.

Seeing the silver ticket, the eyes of the six people were red, and they all said that they would raise grain and grass as soon as possible.

Fan Yongdou saw the six people expressing their attitudes, and said with a smile: "In this way, then please trouble you virtuous brothers to raise grain, and send the grain and grass to Hong Taizu as soon as possible, so that we can rest assured as soon as possible." ”

Tian Shenglan said greedily: "In this way, the old man will not bother, so he will go back to raise food." With that, he went out. The remaining five people saw that someone was taking the lead, and they also retired one after another, and said that they would raise grain and grass as soon as possible. After a while, the birds and beasts scattered, and Fan Yongdou was the only one left.

Fan Yongdou cautiously looked around, and after finding that no one was peeking, he secretly opened the mechanism on the table and hid the letter. After hiding, he went out.
