Mianying glanced at Taihe, and finally spoke leisurely: "Forget it, this official has no intention of bothering with you now, and he will not mention this matter to Lord Tai." But do you recognize the face of the man you're going after? Although Deyang is not big, after all, there are many outsiders, and it is not easy to find someone. ”

Taihe couldn't help but be dumbfounded, what Taifu's escape relatives, that nonsense was made up, he didn't know the person's appearance at all, he only knew that the master ordered him to come down and find the important account book, otherwise he would not want to live. But since Mianying asked, he had to answer vaguely: "That person hasn't been in the Tai Mansion for a long time, and he is silent on weekdays, so the little one doesn't have much impression of him, but he will definitely recognize him when he sees it." Besides, he still has thieves on him, and he can't escape. ”

Mianying let out a breath, and the heart she lifted finally fell back to the same place. It seems that as the man said, he was only entrusted by someone and had nothing to do with this matter, otherwise he would not have even leaked his appearance, so it would not be difficult to hide it from the world. At that moment, he readily asked Taihe and the gang to follow the messenger to search for the man in their mouth, and before leaving, he took extra care of Taihe and did not provoke the business of the Yue family.

It wasn't until Taihe left the yamen that he easily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, I am still clever, otherwise today's disaster would have been a big one. He can rely on the power of his master to ignore those ordinary petty officials, but Wei Mianying and other characters are not something he can afford to provoke. If it weren't for the fact that he was still humble, I am afraid he would not have instructed himself not to touch the Yue family's business. What kind of person is the Yue family, they are royal in-laws, how can they afford to touch it. "It's okay, it's okay." He muttered to himself, "Looks like I'm pretty lucky." ”

A large group of errand servants and Taihe's men almost turned Deyang City upside down, which immediately provoked a burst of chickens and dogs. The people of the city were speculating about what was happening, and the gossip suddenly spread like a plague, and Taihe was angry. However, they just can't figure out what the person they want to chase looks like, and this headless fly is the best answer. Previously, they took the person who stole the account book outside Chengdu, but before they could torture him, the man bit his tongue and committed suicide, leaving no clues. It was only from this that his master learned that Youyu Shi was investigating his corruption and perversion of the law, and he was in a mess for a while, so he was ruthless and decided to cover up the matter at any cost, which now seems to be too difficult.

While he was at a loss, Taihe suddenly heard two messengers next to him muttering, saying that before they came here, someone was beating drums at the entrance of the yamen to sound grievances. He curiously stepped forward to ask what was going on, and after understanding what was going on, his heart couldn't help but move, and a bold idea suddenly came out, could it be that Mianying's previous behavior was all bluffing? At first, he thought this idea was ridiculous, but after thinking about it again, he felt more and more strange, fortunately he saved a little thought, and left the two of them to talk to Mianying in the yamen, otherwise he would not know if they were deceived.

As soon as Mianying heard that Taihe and the others had turned around, she knew that they were suspicious, and she couldn't help but show a sneer. Although Tae-hwa's words were still so deferential, his suspicions could still be perceived. If this is not calculated, then wouldn't my officials in the past few years be in vain? Mianying smiled and said in surprise: "It turns out that you suspect the man who beat the drum and complained?" Come on, bring the person just now, and let you check it out! ”

When Taihe saw that man, the suspicion in his heart became more and more intense, how did he think that this person was the main person he was looking for on this trip. However, after a few words, he was confused, and what he confided from this man's mouth was nothing more than an ordinary grievance, and the details were even clearer. A fraud took all the money on him, so he could only go to the yamen to ask the lord for justice before he was left on the streets. Although it sounded clear-sighted, Taihe still thought a little more, and had no choice but to search him almost all over but couldn't find the account book, so he had to give up.

But once the suspicion arises, it is not so easy to dispel, and this man is really suspicious. Taihe thought about it, and finally sent one of his subordinates back to report the news. If it was an ordinary official, he would definitely have ordered the yamen to be raided at this time, but Mianying, who was sitting calmly on the main seat, made him dare not act rashly. I can only ask the master to come out in person, and this matter is really crucial.

Sure enough, the next night, the governor Tai Xiantong drove Jane from the ground to Deyang. Although the anxious look on his face couldn't hide all of it, he still calmly exchanged a few words with Mianying, and then went straight to his plan. He first sent away a group of unrelated people, and then said to Mianying in a heartfelt manner: "Master Wei, you and I are both people in the same boat, and the foolish brother is a few years older than you, so I will call you brother." ”

Mianying humbly conceded, and then half-pushed and half-called Tai Yi to the same brother, and after a while, the enthusiasm of the two was like close friends. Tai Yi knew that the two of them were in the same direction, so he said without hesitation: "Don't hide it from my brother, the account book I want to recover this time is not an ordinary thing, there are a lot of shady things in it, if it leaks out, it will be light to lose the official position, and I am afraid that it will implicate the big people in the capital, so I have to ask my brother for a small favor." He glanced at Mianying's careful listening, and his heart relaxed, "According to Taihe, that man is very suspicious, maybe he hid things here by entering the yamen, if it is convenient, can he ......?"

Mianying knew that Tai Xiantong came for this matter, anyway, she had already sent the evidence away, and there was no danger of leakage, so she replied happily at the moment: "Since my brother said so, it would be hypocritical for Mianying to push back again." This county government is just this place, you can tell them to search it themselves, and hope that you will get what you want. He knew that Tai was most worried about the second half of the book, so he secretly congratulated himself that he had separated the things and sent them away.

After getting Mianying's consent, Tai was overjoyed, and after thanking him again and again, he was no longer polite, and a group of henchmen also checked in the yamen. Mianying thought to herself that there were no female dependents inside, so she was perfunctory and perfunctory, and she didn't care at all about the sound of turning over boxes and cabinets from inside. The servants in the yamen had already been taken care of, and they all stood by and watched, speculating in their hearts about the intentions. It's just that the minds of the big people are not what they can understand, so most people look at each other, but they dare not make a sound.

After a long while, Taihe Fang walked out dejectedly and shook his head at his master. Tai Yitong's face darkened, but he was still unwilling, you must know that this thing is too important, and the consequences of really leaking out are far more serious than what he said. The first half is enough to make him lose his official position and rob his home, and the second half is enough to make him die without a place to bury. Thinking of the ruthless methods of those big men in Beijing, he couldn't help but shudder, could it be that Mianying saw the clue and hid it, right?

He looked at the face of the young man in front of him, and quickly dispelled this idea, he was just a fledgling junior, nothing more than the strength of the Seventh Highness, he should not have such a big courage. "Brother, I want to interrogate that person in person just now, I wonder if there is anything beyond my authority? If you can, please make it easier for my brother. ”

Mianying would refuse, and then ordered an errand to take Tai Yu over. However, after a cup of tea, Tai Yingtong turned back, his face was full of disappointment, but he was still unwilling to ask Mianying what happened. It's just that Mianying has been prepared for the details, so between the answers, Tai Ying got nothing, so he had to leave in a huff.

Three days after Mianying's performance was sent, the three imperial historians of the Supervision Yuan arrived in Chengdu, including Lian Yuchang, who was known as the iron face. Although the two Taisun were still reigning at this time, they didn't know what the three imperial historians were planning, and immediately began to secretly collect evidence of their corruption. Tai Yitong has been running Sichuan for many years, and the old world friends are deeply rooted, and it is difficult to verify, which makes several imperial historians anxious. They all know that the risks involved are not small, and the two Koreas and China have not received news at this time, but it is difficult to guarantee their future actions, so they are extremely cautious in handling things.

Although many officials avoided it in various names, there were still many people who secretly approached them, and most of them wanted to replace them. However, the vast majority of officials are still in the tentative stage, after all, Tai Yutong's backstage is too hard, and the slightest carelessness is the result of broken bones. Mianying is still immovable, at this moment, he has to take care of the position of Feng Wuxi, as soon as the twists and turns arrive in the capital, I am afraid that the emperor's will will not be far away.

Mianying, who had been informed in advance of each time he had written before, had been informed in advance that he had no trace, but this time it was extraordinary, in order to put aside the master's involvement, he could only write the word "secret" and submit it directly to the emperor through the upper study. He has no idea whether the middle will be unsealed at all, and he can only hope that he can get past it, after all, he is not the kind of courtier who has the right to fold and play straight. If Tuo Feng Wuxian naturally did not have these concerns, but Tai Yu Tong had a close relationship with Xiao Yunchao, and his master Feng Wuxian was Xiao Yunchao's nephew, if he let the emperor know that there was still a secret inside, the matter might be even more tricky, so he would rather bear the name of bullying himself.

In the end, he still cast the emperor's eye, and the Supreme had already sent people to Sichuan, and Mianying's letter only played a role in fueling the trouble. However, the emperor was still more interested in the account book, and the fact that such a clear and clear evidence of the crime could arrive in the capital unharmed shows that this person was thoughtful. What is commendable is that Mianying did not forget the person who gave away the things, and did not take the credit for himself, which is what the emperor appreciates the most.

The most stupid is undoubtedly Xiao Yunchao, the emperor just inadvertently mentioned Mianying, so he wanted to be a personal favor, and after transferring the officials to archive, he said a lot of good things. The emperor did not reveal the hidden secrets, and after checking the roster of officials from all over Sichuan, he was promoted to the post of prefect of Mianying Chengdu. Xiao Yunchao never dreamed that Tai Yitong, who he was leaning on as a pillar, would not be arrogant for long. As for what he was hiding from himself, he knew nothing.
