A strange thing happened the next morning: yesterday the ledger was mentioned as a key element, and today the ledger suddenly appeared on the table in the guest room.

I picked up the account book and saw that it was Qian Wan's account transactions with bandits and county officials, and this incriminating evidence was here, and everything was revealed.

If the money buys off the government, so you can buy other people's fields and antiques without fear, and then form an alliance with the bandits, snatch back the money spent, and then leave some for the government and the bandits respectively, so that you only use half of the silver money, and swallow the wealth of several families for a lifetime. The other half went into the hands of the county officials and bandits.

I was holding the ledger and suddenly felt a little hot. If the state government yamen and the county government wear the same pants, then if I hand over the account book, wouldn't it be convenient for them to destroy the evidence? But if not, what should be done? Besides, this ledger suddenly appeared in my room, how can I explain it? What if you want to say that I am a forgery?

When I was in trouble, Du Ruo knocked on the door and came in, and I hurriedly packed up the account book, "Gu Shoucheng and Li Da are they up?" ”

Du Ruo put down the wooden basin in his hand, dipped it in a cotton towel, and then handed it to me. "They got up early and are waiting for Her Highness the princess below."

While wiping my face, I complained in my heart, "I got up early, didn't I stand guard at the door last night?" As a result, no one in the house knew about it, which was really a dereliction of duty. ”

I handed the towel to Du Ruo, and when I turned my head to comb my hair, I suddenly found a man in black on the roof in the mirror. As it happens, the man's eyes are also on me. The gaze was familiar, and my mind raced, and I immediately remembered who he was, the unreliable man in black who took my carriage.

"Du Ruo, I'll comb my hair by myself, you go out first, talk to Gu Shoucheng and Li Da, breakfast is served, they can use it first, don't wait for me."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess." Overnight, Du Ruo became much more obedient, and really went out with a basin of water.

Hearing Du Ruo's footsteps moving away, I hurriedly stepped forward to bolt the door and looked up at the man in black on the beam. "Come down, I'm really ready to be a gentleman on the beam."

The man in black was not polite, and directly turned over and jumped to the ground.

"I didn't guard the door when I came in, but I didn't expect to meet the doorkeeper when I wanted to leave." The man in black complained.

I muttered to myself, sure enough, I was still an unreliable killer. "You sent the ledger."

The man in black sat down at the table, took the teapot and quilt casually, pulled down the mask, and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. "It's me, aren't you going to use it for investigation?"

I looked at this unreliable killer curiously, but I didn't expect that the sword eyebrows and starry eyes were quite delicate. "Why do you want to help me?"

"Nonsense, repay your kindness." The man in black looked up at me, and then he remembered that he had revealed his true face, so he simply took off the mask. "Anyway, the favor is over, and you and I don't owe each other. Now that you see my true face, I can only kill you. ”

"Kill me!?" I couldn't help but laugh, "You give me a hot ledger to repay the favor?" When people ask me how the ledger came from, if it is forged, how can I explain it? You're obviously hurting me, so you can repay your kindness? ”

"Then, then you see my true face, I ......"

"What am I, I saved you at the beginning, and today I still saved you, if you just ran out and called to catch the thief, do you think you ran out?" I grabbed the white, and I could see that this killer was a novice, and I was really curious, how this unreliable killer killed the captain.

"What then? You know what I look like, I'll expose it, and even if I don't kill you, no one else will let you go. ”

"Someone else? Sure enough, you have an accomplice. I smiled smugly and helped analyze: "What are you afraid of, they don't know that you are exposed, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who will know." ”

When the man in black thinks about it, it's the same reason. So there was a hurry to put on a mask. "Then let's make you if you haven't seen me."

"What are you pretending, you've been covering your face all the time, aren't you?" I felt naïve enough to be coaxing a child. "If you really want to help me, then do me a favor and send this ledger back to the money in case it happens, preferably before the people from the state capital yamen arrive."

"What, put it back again?" The man in black said: "Do you think I stole easily? This thing is hidden in the agency, how can the people in the state government yamen find it. ”

"Isn't it me, you tell me where the mechanism is, and I will pretend that I have no intention of opening it at that time, or it will be done." I was secretly glad that I had planned well, and the man in black hesitated, but finally took the ledger.

"Help you this time, we'll be clear." The man in black seemed to have a negotiable tone.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're really interesting, by the way, what's your name?" ”

The man in black hesitated.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, I stopped asking. "I'll go out first in a while, I guess no one will come in, you change into civilian clothes and run out, no one should notice."

After I finished speaking, I pulled the door and prepared to go out, and at this moment, the man in black whispered behind me: "My name is Ye Liuyun." ”

I whispered back, "Okay, I wrote it down." ”
