He had the intention to teach Gu Jiu a lesson, but in the end he lost to the little girl's coquettishness, so he didn't say anything.

After eating, Qin Zheng gave Gu Jiu another medicine, telling her to lie down and not to come, and he went out again.

Seeing that he was going out, Gu Jiu immediately instructed earnestly: "Husband, come back early." ”

Seeing that Gu Jiu's eyes were full of concern, Qin Zheng felt more and more that his heart had softened, and he nodded warmly: "Okay, you go to sleep first, I'll come back when I'm done." ”

However, Qin Zheng's sentence was over......

Even on the morning of the second day, he did not return.

Gu Jiu slept late at night, slept too much during the day, and couldn't sleep at night, so she simply lay on the bed, counting the Buddha beads and playing, while waiting for Qin Zheng to come back bored.

Who knew that this Buddhist scripture had been recited several times, but Qin Zheng still hadn't returned.

In the end, Gu Jiu heard that the watchman was reporting the time, and it was already the third watch.

Gu Jiu didn't know how he fell asleep later, but when he woke up again, he found that it was bright outside.

And Qin Zheng hasn't come back yet.

Gu Jiu didn't know why, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, she changed her clothes and got out of bed, and she didn't freshen up, so she went out and called the guards over: "Where is your adult?" ”

Seeing Gu Jiu come out, the guard hurriedly came over to salute, and replied: "Mrs. Hui, my lord came back once in the morning, and when I saw that you were still asleep, I didn't alarm you, so my subordinates brought you a message." He said that I will go to the governor's palace of the river and return in a moment, so please don't be in a hurry. ”

When the guard said this, he smiled and added, "Don't worry, your lord will come back in an hour at most this time." ”

This person was confident, Gu Jiu was relieved, and he was about to enter the house after answering, but he was stopped by the man again, and asked with a smile, "Madame, do you want to have breakfast now?" Before leaving, the adults specially instructed that they would bring it to you when you woke up, and remember to remind you to apply the medicine. ”

It's a big deal...... Sure enough, it was something Qin Zheng would do.

Gu Jiu's heart warmed, he agreed with a smile, and when the man came in with breakfast, he closed the door again.

But when he was able to get out, the guard patted his chest.

This was explained by the adults in the morning, and it was basically instructed when I left last night.

Fortunately, his acting skills are good, so he didn't let his wife see it!

Thinking of this, the guard sighed again, I don't know what is going on with the adults, is the action still going well?

……

Qin Zheng's actions were unexpectedly smooth.

At night, he led someone to track down Mu Yuan, although it took some twists and turns, but in the end he achieved his wish.

After it was dawn, Qin Zheng didn't care about returning to the post station, and went directly to the Governor's Mansion of the River.

The porter knew Qin Zheng, and when he saw him coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Greetings to Lord Qin, did you come here this morning to find my lord?" Later, the little ones will go to the general ceremony. ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded in response, with a kind smile on his lips, which reassured the porter.

After returning to Mu Yuan, the other party scolded in a low voice for a blood-sucking thing.

He scolded and scolded, in the end, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went to welcome Qin Zheng into the mansion in person.

After inviting people into the study, Mu Yuan asked his subordinates to make tea, and said with a kind smile: "I don't know if Lord Qin came to the house early in the morning, what advice do you have?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng Shi Shiran smiled, took the tea casually, nodded, took the tea lid and skimmed the floating tea, and said with a faint smile: "It's just that I got up early and passed by, come here to have a look - the last time I came to the house, I liked your design of the carved beams and paintings very much, and the official thought, copy a copy back as a reference." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "It is really an honor to be able to get Mrs. Qingyan's eyes." Don't worry, I'll ask them to bring the drawings later, so that you can take them back, and Madame can visit them as much as she wants. ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng squinted and smiled, and said, "In this way, there will be Master Lao Mu." ”

Mu Yuan smiled and said yes, and in front of Qin Zheng, he instructed his subordinates to go to his wife to ask for drawings, and after the people went, he patted his head again and said with a smile: "Look at my memory." ”

When he said this, he went to the lattice behind the bookcase and took a brocade vermilion lacquer box, put it on Qin Zheng's table, and said with a smile: "My lord, please take a look." ”

Seeing Mu Yuan handing him this, Qin Zheng only smiled and said, "Master Mu, what is this?" ”

The small box is boxy, and the brocade shells on it reflect colorful colors in the sunlight, and it is really rich and gorgeous to look at.

The box is still like this, and the contents can be seen.

Mu Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "My lord, this is ...... Qingming on the river. ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "Master Mu, what a good handwriting." ”

When he said this, he heard a faint bird cry outside, hooked his lips for no reason, and opened the box.

A small golden lock hangs from it, which makes a clicking sound when it is opened.

It was covered with inky satin, and on top of it was a stack of silver tickets.

5,000 taels per piece, a full 500,000 taels.

"Lord Qin, this Qingming Shanghe Diagram didn't disappoint you, did it?"

Hearing Mu Yuan's words, Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really a good craft." But ......"

When he said this, he put the box back on, pushed it to Mu Yuan's side, and said, "Master Mu gave me so many silver tickets, who knows if it's true or not?" In this world, it is still silver. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Yuan's face stiffened, and he subconsciously sneered: "Lord Qin is really joking, 500,000 taels of cash, where can I get this?" ”

Besides, when others take bribes, they wish that the smaller the size, the better, is this Qin Zheng crazy, he actually wants to take 500,000 taels of cash on the road?

God knows, but in order to make it convenient for Qin Zheng to hold it, he deliberately saved the silver and exchanged it for a silver ticket!

Mu Yuan thought of this, and laughed in a low voice: "Don't worry, what I'm looking for is a time-honored money bank, which can be exchanged by anyone in Beijing, and we will work for the same person in the future, can this official still trick you?" ”

After he said this, Qin Zheng smiled meaninglessly.

"I don't like silver tickets the most, I don't feel good when I hold it, but it feels good to have silver in my hands."

When he said this, he saw that Mu Yuan's expression became a little more indescribable: "But, this ......"

"What's the matter, there's no place to get it, is it?"

Qin Zheng's words, Mu Yuan somehow always felt that something was wrong, but before he could speak, he heard Qin Zheng continue: "It's okay, Master Mu has no place to get it, I have it." ”

When he said this, he clapped his hands regardless of the other party's changed expression, and said, "Carry it in." ”

Before Qin Zheng finished speaking, he heard the voices of people outside, and more than a dozen sturdy men walked in carrying five or six boxes.

Seeing the appearance of the box, Mu Yuan suddenly changed color, but before he could react, he saw that Qin Zheng had already gotten up, but in an instant, his long sword was already out of its sheath and was straight on Mu Yuan's neck.

"Qin Zheng, what do you mean by this!"

Mu Yuan recognized it at a glance, those boxes were clearly specially selected by him at that time to store these silver, how could they fall into Qin Zheng's hands?

And now, Qin Zheng's decorative saber was on his neck at this time, and the sword body flashed with a cold glow, and as long as he moved a step, it would be dyed red.

Mu Yuan was an old treacherous and cunning in the end, and he reacted to the situation in an instant, and said in a deep voice: "You calculate me? ”

Until now, what does he not understand, this person is clearly fishing for himself!

Hearing this, Qin Zheng sneered and said lightly: "Don't Lord Mu know what is called a means of investigating a case?" Serving the emperor, how can it be called calculation. ”

When he said this, he glanced at one side, and the next moment he saw his subordinates opening all those boxes in unison.

The silver in it was neatly arranged, and all of it was official silver stolen by Mu Yuan.

The matter has come to this point, but Mu Yuan still has to continue to struggle, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Qin wants to make meritorious contributions, this official can understand, but if you frame your colleagues by framing your colleagues, this official will go to the emperor to sue you!" ”

Qin Zheng was the most afraid of threats, and he was immediately happy when he heard this, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of coldness: "Master Mu, even if you go, as long as you can still see the holy face at that time." ”
