"Lord Xiao, this is the matter I have investigated about the Huajia Casino in the past few days, the emperor ordered me to escort the princess back to Beijing, this matter still depends on you." Cheng Qianqiu held a thin wad of paper in his hand, all of which were testimonies from nearby merchants and deeds of sale left by those who had been forced to sell themselves.

Mu Churan didn't do it for a long time, after all, he still had any concerns, he was also a person with a casino in the capital, and he knew the operation of the casino well, if he went to check it himself, the effect should be better.

"Lord Cheng takes care all the way, and it is up to you to follow the princess when you get to the capital."

Cheng Qianqiu looked at Xiao He in front of him, he just changed his clothes, and his aura was completely different from before, if he was gentle and humble and polite before, then now he is really too different from usual, that handsome son, there is such a murderous aura in his eyes.

However, after half a day, Mu Qingwan came to her senses, and the looks of the people around her told her that everything she heard before was true, and Xiao He did not appear in front of her, but Cheng Qianqiu and Mu Churan around her had a look of guilt.

Mu Qingwan lowered her head and didn't speak, a girl who was so lively and cheerful on weekdays suddenly lost her words, which made Mu Churan, who was the emperor, a little at a loss.

"Are you going back to the capital?"

Mu Qingwan didn't make a sound, and nodded silently.

Cheng Qianqiu took Mu Qingjuan on the journey back to Beijing, and with their backs far away, Xiao He suddenly felt a little sad, Shen Suhang was dead, I don't know who will be next?

I hope that Cheng Qianqiu can accompany Mu Qingwan well, maybe when she comes out of Shen Suhang's death, Cheng Qianqiu and Mu Qingwan will be able to really be together.

It's better than yourself, but it's out of reach.

"My sister is innocent and kind, and her only drawback is that she is too affectionate......"

……

Hua Shao was detained by the Zhizhou Yamen, Song Qing went with Xiao He's official seal, and Master Hua didn't say anything, but just instructed his son to stay in prison honestly.

This made Song Qing a little unexpected.

Duan Heng has not appeared, Xiao He is not worried, Duan Heng has his reasons every time he does not say goodbye, now that Cheng Qianqiu has left, Mu Churan is investigating the problem of the ledger with all his might, and it is time to investigate the matter of the casino.

If it were himself, Xiao He would definitely choose to put the dirty silver obtained by bribery into the casino, mixing in a large amount of gold and silver coming and going, once the silver flowed out, no one would definitely find that the official seals of different places were printed under the development.

"I think they will choose an opportunity that others will not notice, and scatter the dirty silver obtained from corruption and bribery to these casinos, but because there are no ready-made accounts, we still have no way to get solid evidence to prove it." Xiao He took the map of Zhenzhou sent by Song Qing and drew a few circles with a red pen, "There are a total of four casinos on the surface, and these three have the brand of the Hua family, but it is certain that these four are all the properties of the Hua family. ”

Song Qing flipped through the account book in his hand: "The account book I got is indeed the dirty silver details on Lord Hua's mansion, but if you can't find the silver, no matter how many other accounts you have, it's useless." ”

"Lord Xiao has revealed his identity in front of Lord Hua, there must be no way to sneak into the casino, so what should we do now?"

"There is a way, but you may need the help of Lord Song." Mu Churan checked the account books for a few days before he finished reading all the accounts, a small governor, who could have so many silver taels in his hands, was really insatiable, holding the court's money and ointment on the other. Such an official has not been investigated and punished for so long.

A figure quickly flashed outside the window, and several people quickly took precautions, someone dared to visit the Zhizhou Yamen late at night, and he really didn't take Song Qing in his eyes!

Xiao He picked up the long sword on the table and stood vigilantly by the door, leaning on the door frame and listening to the sound outside.

The bow and arrow broke through the mounting paper of the window and pierced it, and stuck on the table where the three men had just laid out the map. "Long arrows pass the book, interesting." Mu Churan pulled out the feather arrow on the table, and then the letter that was pierced on his head.

Xiao He also came over and compared the position of the arrow tail with the hole in the window: "According to the direction where the arrow just came, the person who sent this letter should have been on the roof over there." ”

"Send silver when you are fifteen sons, west of the city." Mu Churan read out the contents of the letter.

"Could it be that someone is secretly helping?" Song Qing asked suspiciously when he heard this.

Xiao He doesn't think so: "It's also possible that someone wants to deliberately mislead us." We have already identified ourselves, and Lord Hua must be on guard against us. ”

"No," Mu Churan didn't seem to be worried about someone plotting at all. "Just look at the handwriting on this letter."

Mu Churan's performance was very calm, as if he had known that such a letter would come.

"Did you send one of your men to investigate?" Xiao He asked, while taking the letter in Mu Churan's hand, and only after a closer look did he understand: "When did you know?" ”

Mu Churan shook the fan in his hand, "Naturally, I asked Duan Heng to go, he has always been elusive, and if he disappears occasionally, he will not be noticeable." ”

Even Xiao He was kept in the dark, Xiao He glanced at Mu Churan in front of him vigilantly, how much thought did he have, he could plan so many things, and on the surface he agreed to check the casino, but in fact, he had already sent Duan Heng into the casino, which was really unexpected.

Mu Churan had a smile on his face, "Xiao He, inform the Jinyi guards outside the city to get ready to act." "The moon outside is getting rounder and rounder, and after dealing with this matter, there are still major events waiting for me in the capital.

Mu Churan narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at Xiao He, who was still looking at the letter: "What are you doing in a daze?" If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that the corrupt official will seize the opportunity. ”

……

Xiao He led a team of brocade guards to ambush in all corners of the street. The night was like ink, but the moon was surprisingly bright, and they could have concealed it well in black, but because the moonlight was much brighter than usual, they had nowhere to hide, so they had to give up their original position and ambush in other places.

Even if it was as careful as Mu Churan's arrangement, seeing that they suddenly changed their position, he couldn't help frowning, it turned out that he chose to transport silver taels on the night of the fifteenth, for this, if it was on the roof, the slightest movement would be noticed by the people walking on the street, this Lord Hua is really scheming.

Xiao He didn't worry so much, as long as the news given by Duan Heng was reliable, the two teams transporting silver would be the guards of Huafu at most, and most of the brocade guards would not be able to beat a few guards with embroidered legs.

When the time came, a carriage came out of the backyard of Huafu, with a few boxes on the carriage, and sure enough, as Duan Heng said, they set off on time.

There were only a few guards scattered around the carriage, and in the middle of the night, there were no pedestrians on the street. The squeaking sound of the axles of the carriage was particularly eerie in the silence of the night.

Mu Churan quietly observed under the eaves on the side of the road, it was really strange, it stands to reason that these three big boxes had to be filled with a lot of silver taels, converted into weight on the carriage, how could the carriage be so loud?

Xiao He obviously also noticed something wrong, and stretched out his hand to signal the Jinyi guard beside him not to act rashly.

Several guards escorting the carriage soon arrived at a casino, and the people who drove the carriage knocked on the door of the gambling house according to the rhythm, and the gambling house turned on the lights, but did not mean to open the door.

The carriage returned to the Hua family the way it came, "What does this mean?" Xiao He didn't know when he arrived at Mu Churan's side, and asked him in a low voice.

"Don't worry, wait." It should be true, only this one of these casinos did not have the brand of the flower family, but all the dirty silver must be circulated from here, Cheng Qianqiu once mentioned that this casino is lower than the other three, the chips are lower, and the silver two pressed in a single game are relatively small.

Because of this, it is more convenient to exchange dirty silver and other loose silver. In the process of entering and leaving, the dirty silver in his hand was exchanged, which is the genius of the flower governor.

Xiao He waited patiently on the eaves for a moment, and sure enough, the door in the backyard of Huafu opened again, and it was still the carriage, but it did not make the harsh sound like just now.

This old guy is quite scheming, Mu Churan picked the corners of his mouth, he knew that Xiao He had already arrested his son, and he would definitely be the next one to attack, so he hurriedly moved the remaining silver in the mansion out, but he was afraid that someone would ambush him on the road, so he got a fake one at the beginning, and there were clearly three empty boxes on the car. If someone intercepts the car, they won't find anything.

"When they got to the casino, we rushed up to subdue them." Xiao He whispered to the Jinyi guards nearby.

This time the carriage did not go through the main entrance, but drove directly into the back path of the casino.

"Do it!"

There are not many guards around, but the kung fu is not bad, and a one-on-one fight can actually be a tie with Jinyiwei. Okay, the Jinyi guards had the advantage in numbers, and in a short time they subdued everyone.

Xiao He opened the fire fold in his hand and pried open the box on the car with the long sword in his hand, which was really neatly stacked with real money.

Turning over the silver in his hand, it was clearly printed underneath - Qingzhou Mansion.

Xiao He nodded at Mu Churan, sent a signal, and after a while, the people from the yamen rushed over.

controlled the entire casino and the people who sent the silver taels, but Mu Churan was in no hurry to go home, and walked straight to the tied coachman and the casino owner, "What ......signal do you usually have after sending the silver taels?"
