In the middle of the moon, the candle flame in the room was flickering, Gu Rin and Su Yu were sitting side by side, and there were two secret guards standing in front of them.

The dark guard lowered his head, cowering and not daring to look forward, afraid that if he raised his head slightly, he would be able to meet Gu Rin's gaze as if he was about to kill.

Gu Rin put the teacup in his hand on the table heavily, and his voice was very cold, "If you find anything, tell me quickly." ”

The Dark Guard dug into his bosom and flipped out the ledger and placed it on the table

Zishang said, "My lord, this is what we found after Zheng Lao, who hid the ledger in a stone cave in the woods, and was accompanied by a subordinate. ”

Su Yu sighed, "Sure enough, I didn't tell the truth." ”

"Once a person is greedy, he will be out of control." Gu Rin said lightly, "I expected this to be the case." ”

The dark guard interjected, "Then Lord Gu, Miss Su, we can now take the ledger and confront Zheng Lao, so that we can arrest him." ”

Gu Rin gently skimmed the foam with the lid of the teacup, took a sip of tea and said slowly, "In this case, Zheng Lao was caught, but when Zhou Tong heard the news, he might run away." ”

Su Yu lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "How about this, we forged a new ledger and put it in the stone cave, Zheng Lao didn't know that we had found evidence, and we would definitely contact Zhou Tong to make plans, so we have been paying attention to Zheng Lao's movements, touching the melon, and pulling out Zheng Lao and Zhou Tong together." ”

"Not bad." Gu Rin smiled, "You have a lot of ideas." ”

He turned his head to look at the secret guard and ordered, "According to this account book, make another copy of the same, and then continue to follow Zheng Lao, if you make any moves, you must report it to me immediately." ”

"Yes."

On the real ledger, the records are very detailed, and the whereabouts and whereabouts of each sum of money are clearly written, Su Yu was secretly frightened after looking at it for a while, the court allocated more than one sum of disaster relief funds, and all of them were deducted by Zheng Lao, and the two of them were simply happy to eat, drink and have fun, without considering that the people were still suffering and unable to eat

"What a scum!" Su Yu said angrily, "Even if they take out a small half to support Shushui County, they will never have such a thing happening now!" ”

Looking at the whole account book, there was already a faint touch of two colors on the horizon, Gu Rin rubbed his temples with a faint pain and said, "It's useless to talk more, it's the right solution to solve the two corrupt officials Zheng Lao and Zhou Tong as soon as possible." ”

Su Yu noticed his movements and said with concern, "Do you have a headache, hurry up and go back to rest." ”

"It's okay..."

Before Gu Rin finished speaking, Su Yu jumped off the stool directly, grabbed his wrist and took him to the bedroom, chattering as he walked, "Your body has not been poisoned, you should have rested more, today is my mistake, I shouldn't have dragged you to study so late..."

Gu Rin pursed his lips and followed behind her, as an old man, he had long been accustomed to such a chaotic life, and no matter how uncomfortable he was, he would only hold on, like what Su Yu had just said, the palace maids in his palace had persuaded a lot, usually he only felt annoyed, but now, he didn't know where in his heart some sweet feelings came out.

Su Yu walked to the bed, let go of his hand and said, "Rest quickly, I'll go first." ”

Gu Rin opened her mouth, her eyes deliberately avoided hers, and she said in a low voice, "You can rest too... Tomorrow, wake up naturally. ”

Su Yu nodded and walked to the room, and halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, and snapped his fingers at the place where the secret guard was hiding.

"Miss Sue." The Dark Guard immediately stepped forward, "Is there something going on?" ”

Su Yu said in a low voice, "Zheng Lao should be in a hurry recently, you keep an eye on the carrier pigeon that flew out of his house, and once you find it, immediately intercept the letter."

Get down. ”

"Yes."

When Su Yu woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and there was a faint sound of conversation outside the room, and when she hurriedly tidied up herself and walked out of the door, Gu Rin and Murong Xuan were already sitting in the courtyard.

"Sister, why are you up so late?" Murong Xuan smiled and said, "It's almost noon, aren't you hungry?" ”

Su Yu's cheeks were slightly red, and he retorted, "I'm not the only one

It's late..."

When Gu Rin heard this, his eyes moved over lightly, and he looked Su Yu up and down and said, "Unfortunately, you are really the only one who gets up late, and I have been sitting here for several hours." ”

"Really?" Su Yu was very calm, sat on the stool and quickly changed the topic, "Zheng Lao's matter, is there anything new to discover?" ”

"Yes." Murong Xuan lifted a bird cage from the ground, and there was a carrier pigeon in the cage, he slapped a note in front of Su Yu and said, "This is the carrier pigeon that flew out of Zheng Lao's mansion before dawn today

The letter has been intercepted by the Secret Guard. ”

Su Yu slowly unfolded the note, and a few lines of words were written on it, which was enough to see that Zheng Lao's heart was anxious.

Zheng Cheng, the incident at home, act carefully!

Su Yu sneered, "This Zheng Lao is already dying, and he is still trying to steal his life." ”

At the same time, a carrier pigeon landed on Zheng Lao's house, and he hurriedly took out the letter, which was from Zhou Tong.

Lord Zheng, you must not admit this!

Wang Er also looked at the handwriting on the letter, and he immediately spoke, "Lord Zheng, now that the ledger is very hidden, they can't catch the evidence, even if they know the truth of the matter, it won't help, if you don't admit anything, you can fish in troubled waters to get over!" ”

"You have a point." Zheng Lao muttered, "But for some reason, I always have an ominous premonition. ”

This premonition soon became a reality, the door of his room was pushed open, and the secret guards who had been secretly lurking on Zheng Lao's mansion finally appeared, and they arched their hands and said in unison, "Your Excellency is looking for you for something, please come with us."

bar. ”

On the top of the public court, it was not the county order that sat down, but Su Yu.

"Zheng Lao." Su Yu asked loudly, "Let me ask you again, how much did you swallow in the disaster relief money!" ”

Zheng Lao kowtowed twice on the ground, and said excitedly, "Everything I said that day is true, all the big heads were taken away by Zhou Tong, and I really didn't get any oil and water!" ”

Su Yu sneered, and slammed the ledger viciously in front of Zheng Lao, stirring up a cloud of dust on the ground, Zheng Lao's face turned pale, and the ledger was not the answer

Should it be kept in a cave in the woods, how did it end up here?

"Do you have anything else to explain?" Su Yu said angrily, "The entries in the ledger are clearly written, don't say that this ledger was specially forged and hidden in the woods by you!" ”

Zheng Lao knelt on the ground, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak, looking timid and afraid, Murong Xuan was watching the excitement from the sidelines, but when he saw this, he looked away with disgust, leaned over to Su Yu and said, "Sister, don't be angry with this kind of person, wait a while and put him in prison,

All kinds of criminal laws are used by him! ”

Zheng Lao was trembling, he was scared out of his tears when he heard the words, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy, so he was not embarrassed.

Su Yu squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Gu Rin who had not spoken on the side, Gu Rin nodded slightly towards her, and Su Yu said, "Zheng Lao, if you still want to live, you have to do what I say, maybe, I can still deal with you lightly!" ”

"Do... Do what? Zheng Lao's brain was dizzy, and the blood on his forehead remained, and even people couldn't see it very clearly.

Murong Xuan stepped forward and said sharply, "No matter what my sister asks you to do!" You're going to do it for me!" Why, my identity as the Seventh Prince can't cure you! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zheng Lao hurriedly agreed, "What does the Seventh Prince say, the small ones don't dare to make a mistake." ”

"There are many things involved in this matter, and the people of the city have endured suffering for too long!" Murong Xuan said slowly, "You are one, Zhou Tong is one, and your good son who is far away in the imperial court, one is counted as one, and all of them are inseparable!" ”

"If you say yes." Su Yu tapped his finger on the table, "Then you and Zhou Tong, all the processes and whereabouts of swallowing the disaster relief money, explain it clearly from beginning to end, the account book is clearly written, Zhou Tong don't want to get away with it!" ”
