The voice was very close, less than a zhang away from him, Wu Jin was taken aback, his body shook, a black wave swept across the water, sneaked out of the three zhang, until the water became cold, he slowly found a Taihu Lake stone, hidden behind the stone.

"Third aunt, I just now.... I see a water monster! ”

Not far away, there was a frightened voice of a young woman, Wu Jin dived out of the water, looked through the gap in the Taihu Lake stone, and saw that the inlet three zhang away was actually an artificially built hot spring bath, with stone steps, step into the water, and two piles of women's dresses were placed on the stone bench on the shore...... In the hot springs, there were two white naked women, one was plump, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and her appearance was quite charming, her skin was amazingly white, but there was no luster in the moonlight, and the other was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a flat nose and flat face, and it was estimated that she was a maid.

"Xiaohe, look dazzled! It should be a fish. The plump third aunt said with a smile.

"It's not..... The fish is not so big, so long, it is a .... A black monster snake with such thick legs! ”

The maid's teeth fought up and down, and her body trembled, in fact, she read it right, what she saw was one of Wu Jin's legs.

"You.... Are you sure you read that right? ”

The third aunt was also a little scared.

"That's right, I see it very clearly.... Oh, my God! Chun Tao said that there was a water monster in the lake, it turned out .... It's true!"

"Let's go back quickly, and let the master find someone to inspect tomorrow!"

The two women ran ashore naked, without even clothes, wrapped in cloth towels, and took their dresses and embroidered shoes, and ran along a path at the end of which was a small courtyard, surrounded by a field of peach trees.

Wu Jin suddenly knew who that woman was, it was Xiao Ji who stole the account book, Huang Fu Xu told him today, Xiao Ji was originally the third aunt of Huang Fu Qu, and she was also known as Aunt Peach Blossom in the county mansion, she was just Huang Fu Xu's nominal wife, and she made a great contribution this time, so naturally she didn't have to go back to Huang Fu's house.

Wu Jin hesitated for a moment, whether to ask this woman about the account book first, but after thinking about it, he still decided to give up, this woman was only responsible for stealing the account book to Huangfu Qu, as for where to hide, she didn't necessarily know, or acted according to the original plan.

He entered the water again silently, and swam like an otter towards Qi Ayalou.....

The building is two floors high, surrounded by weeping willows and apricot trees, one of which is an old apricot tree that is 300 years old, growing thick and dense, with a canopy like a canopy, one level higher than the building.

It was the middle of spring, the forest was luxuriant, the sweet fragrance wafted around the apricot tree, Wu Jin had already climbed the old apricot tree, the dense leaves covered his figure, and he was quietly peeking into the room.

There are a total of six rooms in Qiyalou, three up and down, of which the easternmost side of the second floor is the bedroom of Huangfu Qu, and the middle is the living room, the lights of the bedroom and the living room are dark, but the lights in the west side of the study are on, and the lights are bright, Wuji can see the figure of Huangfu Qu at a glance, and the window paper reflects him pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.......

The housekeeper's wife has already reported to Huangfu Qu, the second head of the East China Sea Huangfu clan Huang Fu Xu asked to see him outside the door, Huang Fu Qu of course knew why he was the so-called clan brother begging him, he didn't expect Huang Fu Xu to be so bold, smuggling 150,000 catties of pig iron in two and a half years, according to the criminal law of the imperial court, smuggling more than 10,000 catties will be executed, the family was exiled to the Western Regions, but now it is actually smuggling 150,000 catties of pig iron, what will be the consequences?

There can only be two consequences, one is that the Donghai Huangfu clan will steal the family and exterminate the clan, and the family property will be confiscated from the government, and the other is that the Donghai Huangfu clan is safe and sound, but all their family wealth belongs to themselves, and the Donghai Huangfu clan will completely become their own money-making machine, as long as they hold the account in their hands.

Huang Fuqu smiled proudly, tonight, he wants to pamper Xiao Ji well as a reward, Huang Fuqu doesn't like to reward in kind, he prefers to encourage with spirit.

He glanced at the hourglass, and when the time was almost up, he put on a coat, walked out of the study, and instructed the maid waiting outside the door, "Go to the front yard guest hall!" ”

The two maids agreed, picked up a lantern, and led Huangfu Qu to the front yard in front of him.

Wu Jin began to act, he found a large beam under the eaves, untied a rope from his waist, and quickly connected the rope to the beam, so that he had an aerial rope bridge, Wu Jin was like a black spider, with this zipline quickly climbed to the roof, and finally he jumped on the roof with a slight barb.

Naturally, the purpose of going to the house is to uncover the tiles.

．．．．．．．．．

In the guest hall, Huang Fuxu had been ushered in, he was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking a little restless, the account, the eighty thousand taels of silver, like two heavy scales, pressed on his heart, making him breathless.

"What is Brother Xian doing in such a hurry?"

There was a strange voice of Huang Fu Qu at the door, and I saw Huang Fu Qu slowly walking in with a big belly, his hands behind his back, his small eyes squinted, revealing a kind of schadenfreude and pride.

When Huang Fu Xu saw him, he had a strong urge to kneel down and beg him to return the account to him, and if Wu Jin hadn't talked to him, he would definitely do so.

But now, he restrained the impulse in his heart, stepped forward and bowed, and said in a calm tone, "See the county magistrate!" ”

Maybe Huang Fuxu's calm attitude was a little unreasonable, Huang Fuqu was slightly stunned in his heart, why didn't he ask for himself?

"Brother Xian, please sit down!"

Thinking of the silver that is about to roll in the East China Sea Huangfu family, Huangfu Qu has a kind of impatience to negotiate **, in fact, he doesn't want to drain the Huangfu family at one time, he wants to treat the Huangfu family as a cash cow, and the energy continues to provide him with money, in a more professional term, it is called annual tribute, how much money is given to him every year, of course, he has already thought about this amount, and the annual tribute is 50,000 taels.

He had already arranged all the means of hunting, and now he waited for the prey to come in obediently.

"Brother Xian is here so late, is there something wrong?"

He seemed to be smiling in his eyes, pretending to be confused, according to Huang Fuqu's imagination, Huang Fu Xu would definitely 'pounce!' He knelt down and wept bitterly and kowtowed to himself, 'Big brother, return the account book to me!' ’

Thinking of such an interesting scene, the smug smile that Huang Fuqu had prepared couldn't help but unconsciously leak out from the corner of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the imaginary scene did not appear, Huang Fuxu's expression was still very calm, he asked: "Big brother, three years ago, Uncle Huang said that there were 72,000 taels of silver to be returned to me, and now three years have passed, may I ask, when will he pay me back this money?" At the beginning, my eldest brother patted his chest and promised me. ”

Huang Fuxu asked about an irrelevant matter, Huang Fuqu's face changed on the spot, he didn't say anything, he drank tea with a black face, his attitude was to tell Huang Fuxu, don't mention that matter, I don't want to hear it.

"Since the eldest brother doesn't want to take care of this matter, then I'll bother and say goodbye!"

Huang Fu Xu stood up and arched his hand, turned around to leave, Huang Fu Qu was a little stunned, "Why didn't he mention the account book?" Could it be that he hadn't found out that the ledger had been stolen? Impossible! Xiao Ji said that when he left, he deliberately didn't close the lid of the box, how could he not know.

Huangfu Qu couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he laughed dryly, "Brother Xian, don't you want that account book?" ”

Huangfu Xu's legs were weak, he just wanted to kneel and crawl over to beg him, but after all, he was in his forties, and he still had some self-control, if he really knelt down, as Wu Jin said, the account book would never be taken back.

He secretly swallowed dry saliva, restrained the weakness in his heart, and did not look back, and said coldly: "Big brother thinks that my account book is so easy to get? Let's take a closer look! ”

After speaking, he didn't look back, one foot deep and one foot shallow, if Huang Fuqu saw his face now, he would definitely not believe his words, Huang Fu Xu was already in tears.

Huangfu Qu was stunned, and kept looking at him in a daze, his eyes blinked, his eyes were full of doubts, the account book.... Isn't it?

He turned and walked briskly towards the inner hall.

．．．．．．．．

Wu Jin has been lying on the roof for almost a quarter of an hour, and he is not wearing pure black, but a kind of cyan, which Wu Jin bought after a morning of shopping in the North Market, because this cyan is exactly the same as the color of the tile, he is lying on the roof, like a chameleon, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find him, and it is the same in the water, the water is turquoise.

At this time, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, the same as the footsteps of Huangfuqu when he left just now, Huangfuqu came back again, and when he heard Huangfuqu's footsteps in a hurry, Wujin's face showed a smug smile, indicating that his strategy was very successful.

The door creaked, and footsteps walked into the study, and then I heard Huangfu Qu's order, "You two are guarding the door, and no one is allowed to come in!" ”

The door closed heavily, and the sound of the anti-lock was heard, Wu Jin carefully removed a tile slowly and slowly opened a crack, he had already done a good job on the roof, as long as he removed a crack, he could clearly see the situation inside the house.

I saw Huang Fuqu sitting on the chair, his eyes flashing with suspicion, what was he thinking, Wu Jin suddenly heard a soft sound of the bookcase on the left side of his face, Huang Fuqu immediately got up and walked to the bookcase, slowly moved the bookcase, the bookcase moved away little by little, behind it was a wall, painted snow-white, I saw him press something on the wall, the wall skin popped open, it turned out to be a secret door.

Huangfu Qu took out a book of accounts from it and flipped through it carefully, his brows furrowed, obviously this was not a fake account, but he scolded in a low voice: "His grandmother's Huangfu Xu, do you want to admit it, do you think Lao Tzu can't check it?" ”

At this moment, a middle-aged woman's voice came from outside the door, "Master! Master! ”

Huangfu Qu scolded angrily: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to disturb me?" ”

"Master, it's from the capital!"

"Ahh Huangfuqu was so frightened that he exclaimed, someone from the capital, it should be that Uncle Huang is looking for him for something.

Wu Jin on the roof suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, Huangfu Qu did not feel happy when he heard that someone from the capital was coming, but an extremely disgusted expression, even with hatred, and heard him scold in a low voice, "Damn! ’

Huangfuqu quickly put the tent back in its place, put the wall skin and bookcase back into place, and heard the bookcase come again, 'Click! With a bang, Huangfuqu blew out the candle and went out.

"How many people are in the capital?"

"Two young men came, a man and a woman, with a gloomy and cold look."

．．．．．．．

The footsteps got farther and farther away, and Huangfu Qu went to the front yard, and Qi Aya Lou was quiet again.

Wu Jin pried open the window with a dagger, jumped in, silently, he quickly came to the bookcase, and pulled it outward, which was how Huangfu Qu pulled just now.

But like a dragonfly shaking a tree, the bookcase is motionless, you must know that Wu Jin pulls, there is at least seven or eight hundred catties of strength, Wu Jin only then found out that the bookcase is actually cast in pig iron, with a layer of wood on the outside, and it is obvious that it must be opened with a mechanism.

After a little thought, he immediately walked to the chair of Huangfu Qu and sat down, the chair was a rosewood chair, very precious, and the bottom of the chair was not connected to the floor, indicating that the mechanism was not on the chair, and there was no remote control switch in that era.

He slowly tried to test it with his feet, and he could see clearly just now that Huangfuqu sat motionless on the chair, if not with his hands, then with his feet.

Suddenly, he felt something strange on a piece of floor, stepped on it a little harder, only to hear the sound of 'click' from the bookcase, Wu Jin was overjoyed, he knew that he had succeeded.

He came to the bookcase again, pulled hard, and this time, the bookcase was easily opened, there was a secret door on the wall, which was invisible to the naked eye, he groped with both hands on the wall, he found a soft place, pressed it with his index finger, and the secret door on the wall bounced open.

Wu Jin took out a long strip of seabed fluorite, bit it in his mouth, the fluorite glowed green, in fact, this is the night pearl, like this long night pearl, at least worth two thousand taels of silver, this is Huang Fu Xu found out from the family treasury, and now it is Wu Jin's flashlight.

Inside the secret door is the safe of Huangfu Qu, there are a lot of documents in it, he saw the top account book at a glance, look through it, and sure enough, it is the record of the second uncle's smuggling of pig iron, which is very detailed.

He immediately put the account book into his arms, and flipped through it, Wu Jin was worried that Huangfu Qu had copied a copy, but he didn't find it, and he shouldn't have time to copy it, so he continued to flip it, most of the documents were land deeds, which were useless to him, he hoped to find a bag of diamonds or a box of pearls and the like, and no matter how bad it was, it was okay to find a few gold ingots.

But Wu Jin found nothing, and finally, he took out a palm-sized ivory box from a mezzanine, the box was very beautifully made, and it was also inlaid with more than a dozen gems, and this box was worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

There is no lock in the box, and inside is a thread-bound booklet, which is very small, a bit like a small book used to cheat in the exam room.

Wu Jin only flipped through the two pages, and his heart jumped wildly......
