"The king of the county can rest assured, the grass people have sealed the brocade box, and there should be no damage!" Zhu Tingzuo suddenly remembered something, and saw the bitterness on Zhao Gou's face, and hurriedly said.

Zhao Gou was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”

Zhu Tingzuo nodded and said, "Back to the county king, the grass people follow their father's last orders to guard the brocade box, how can they not take care of it." At the beginning, after the theft incident occurred in the house, the grass people kept an eye on it and found the same box, which contained the relics of their ancestors, and they never thought that they would really be stolen. ”

After that, the thieves never came again, and there was nothing stolen from the house. So, I went back to the capital and sealed the brocade box again with wax, which should not go wrong. It's just that it took a long time for this matter to be remembered. ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly said: "Do you know where the specific location of that brocade box is?" ”

Zhu Tingzuo said: "Back to the king of the county, the grass people remember it in their hearts and have never forgotten it. ”

"Alright, let's go and take out the brocade box immediately!" As soon as Zhao Gou heard that there was hope, where could he wait, he couldn't wait to pull Zhu Tingzuo out of the county king's mansion, and called the king's housekeeper and Yang Chan to go together.

Zhao Gou and the others hurried to Shangshu Mansion, and quietly came to the backyard, it was late at night, and there was no candle flame in the dark night, not even moonlight, and it was a little difficult to find. Moreover, their actions could not disturb the subordinates of Shangshufu, so they had to tiptoe to carry out their actions.

Zhu Tingzuo said in a low voice: "King of the county, there is a stone and a cluster of osmanthus flowers in the place where the villain was buried. A few years have passed, but I am afraid that this osmanthus has already grown into a tree, and the stone should still be here. Everyone split up and fumbled around. ”

Steward Wang replied in a low voice: "Young master, Shangshu Mansion has been extensively renovated in the early years, but I am afraid that the osmanthus has already been pulled out and replaced with other flowers." As for the stone, it must have also been cleaned out, but if you look for it like this, I'm afraid you will find a needle in a haystack! ”

Zhao Gou also felt that what Steward Wang said was reasonable, Shangshufu said that it was not big, it was not small, especially the courtyard wall in the backyard was more than 100 meters wide, and it had undergone extensive modifications, which was very different from the previous style.

Zhu Tingzuo was silent, thought about it again and again, and said again: "King Jun, I remember that place should be fifty meters to the left of the backyard gate, three meters away from the courtyard wall. Even if Shangshufu was re-expanded, it would not be possible to expand, but only to change the style of construction. ”

When Zhao Gou and the others heard the specific scope, they did not hesitate at all, and directly launched their actions, and time waited for no one. After a carpet search, Zhu Tingzuo concluded that it was where he was standing, and then told Zhao Gou, and everyone began to pick up the soil, but they were cautious, so that the speed was slow.

Sure enough, after digging nearly two meters deep, Zhao Gou touched a layer of softened wax, and was overjoyed, and then said in a low voice: "The brocade box has been found, we will fill in this place, and then leave immediately!" ”

So, everyone worked together to fill in the soil, but the traces of turning over still remained. However, Zhao Gou and the others didn't have time to think about this problem anymore, so they had to get up and leave immediately. If not, it will be dawn, and I am afraid that it will not be clear if it is reasonable.

Everyone hurriedly returned to the county king's mansion, and Yang Chan dealt with the traces left by everyone after the palace, and then returned to the mansion. Due to Yang Chan's tiring travel, Zhao Gou asked him to go down to rest again, and only Steward Wang and Zhu Tingzuo stayed here.

By candlelight, everyone finally saw the brocade box clearly, and there was indeed a thick layer of wax on it, but it was broken and peeled off in some places. Zhu Tingzuo saw that the brocade box was not much of a situation, and his nervous mood was put down at once, and then continued: "The king of the county, the steward of the king, the grass people are tired of boats and cars, so don't talk here, go and rest first!" ”

Zhao Gou was stunned for a while, remembering that Zhu Minzhong had told Zhu Tingzuo when he was dying that Zhu Tingzuo was not allowed to open the brocade box, let alone look at the contents of the brocade box, and Zhu Tingzuo didn't know what was hidden in this brocade box from beginning to end. Now, seeing the answer revealed, he wanted to know what it was, and remembered what his father had said, so he had to turn away without any nostalgia.

Although he wanted to know the secret, and remembered that his father died for this, he couldn't tell the feeling in his heart. Zhao Gou respected Zhu Tingzuo's decision, so he let him go down to rest first, and Steward Wang personally led him to the wing, if there was any need, just call them.

After Zhu Tingzuo thanked him, Steward Wang hurriedly turned around and left, and after the door was closed, he sat on the chair and muttered to himself: "I just don't know what the thing is inside, now that it's open, I don't know if it's good or bad!" ……”

Zhao Gou couldn't wait to take out the knife, remove the wax on the brocade box little by little, and then looked at a copper lock, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, directly pried the lock open, opened the brocade box, and a strong camphor wood smell came to his nose.

Inside the brocade box was a letter, and there was nothing else, which made him a little curious, and muttered, "Just a letter?" Why is it so mysterious? Could it be that there is something else secret about this letter? ”

Zhao Gou opened the letter, looked at the handwriting and content, and affirmed that the letter was written by Zhu Minzhong himself, only to see that the letter wrote: "In the fifth year of Zhenghe, he was a very popular minister, received the emperor's favor, was promoted to the head of the household, was loyal to his duties, and did not dare to have the slightest deviance; In the eighth year of Zhenghe, he was in office for three years, coinciding with the natural disasters of the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and the saint sympathized with the suffering of the people, changed his past style, no longer arrogant and lascivious, indulged in calligraphy and painting, and allocated funds for disaster relief, totaling 3 million taels. ”

"Yu obeyed the holy decree and distributed all the silver taels to the counties, thinking that the money had been distributed, but he didn't want to accidentally learn that there were two million taels that he didn't know where to go, and only one million taels were distributed.

Yu thought that there must be something strange about this matter, and after making a series of inquiries, he found that some people in the DPRK and China had formed a party for personal gain, and some people had embezzled disaster relief funds. The saint still ignored it, but he didn't want to be known by the traitor Cai Jing and others, secretly cheated, trapped me in injustice, and was forced to helpless, so he had to resign and return to his hometown in order to protect himself. ”

"I thought that if I wasn't in the court, I would be able to escape, but I never thought that those people were still unwilling to let go, and secretly colluded with the people in the house, and the body was chronically poisonous, and there was no skill to return to heaven. When Yu was dying, he left this letter in order to expose the conspiracy of those people and prevent them from succeeding. ”

"If it is really a natural disaster**, it is inevitable, if someone deliberately does it, in order to seek personal gain, embezzlement of court funds, it is a heinous crime. There are many friends in the DPRK and China, especially Cai Jing, but one of the masterminds behind the scenes this time is this person. ”

"Cai Jing is the prime minister, and he has been in charge of the Privy Council for many years, and if he wants to embezzle 2 million taels without his consent, it is impossible to escape his ears and eyes. In the palace, there are Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and others who collude with them, and Tong Guan who is in the same league with them. ”

When Yu secretly investigated, he had already mastered Cai Jing's luxury, and a meal at home was for ordinary people for a year, and he found that this guy was acting secretively and abnormally. However, he has no power in his hands, and he is highly poisonous, and his time is short. If you want to find out the truth of the matter, the only way to find out is through Cai Jingshun's vine, you must track down the real person behind the scenes, and I hope this thief will be brought to justice as soon as possible! ”

Zhao Gou finished reading the letter and muttered: "I see, Cai Jing is really one of the participants, it seems that there are other people involved, I don't know if the people mentioned in the letter are all involved or if there is another hidden secret, this matter seems to be getting deeper and deeper, and the fog is heavy!" ……”
