"And then?" Mingyuexi couldn't wait to get in front of Xu's family.

The case, leave it to Gu Yanbai, as for the gossip, she will ask.

Seeing that there were still subordinates around, Xu Shi was a little ashamed to speak.

Seeing this, Mingyuexi asked Gu Yanbai to find a reason casually and sent everyone away.

Suddenly, the room knew that there were only three of them left.

"Let's talk about it."

Gu Yanbai saw Mingyuexi's gossip on his face, and smiled helplessly.

The emperor sent him over to stabilize the disaster, which was inevitably boring, and with this Mingyue Creek, it also added a bit of fun to the dull days.

"That master used to be my fellow villager, I accidentally helped him do him a favor, he helped me marry the county commander, and became his military advisor for promotion and wealth."

Xu said slowly, and Gu Yanbai felt more and more that the truth of the matter was about to surface.

It seems that this county order was used as a gun.

At the same time, after Xu finished his last sentence, Gu Yanbai's subordinates came to tell him what happened in prison.

"Back to the little marquis, the county order died of poison."

"Someone poisoned him?" Mingyuexi jumped up from her seat in shock.

In full view of everyone, there are very few people who dare to go to the county order, and those who poison are even more bold.

"According to the jailer who guarded the gate at the time, a gust of wind blew, and they all passed out, and when they woke up, they found that the county commander had died in prison."

"Sir!" When the Xu family heard that the county order was poisoned, the sadness in his heart was even worse, and he screamed out.

"Did anyone have the impression at the time, who went in?" Gu Yanbai asked.

The subordinate shook his head, and suddenly remembered something: "I only know that the man's eyes seem to be wearing an eyepatch." ”

"Blindfold?"

"It's Master!" Xu shouted that the master had injured his eyes from drinking a few days ago, so he brought an eye patch.

"You take some people to the master's residence and bring him to me."

After the subordinate received the order, he withdrew.

Gu Yanbai saw that he had asked about the same question today, so he left the county commander's house with a bucket of Mingyuexi.

"Huh~ This officialdom is really complicated." Mingyuexi sighed while walking side by side with Gu Yanbai on the road, Gu Yanbai nodded, indicating that he was really helpless.

If it weren't for the turmoil in the people of the court, the emperor sent him over to investigate corruption, he would not want to get involved in these disputes.

"Do you think what you will do if he doesn't admit you when you see your master later?" Mingyuexi said her doubts, Gu Yanbai smiled and touched her head: "I know it in my heart." ”

Since this master helped the county order to loot money, then he must have accounts, and he just found out that the amount of disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court was not the right one recently, so he just pulled him over to ask.

"What is the little marquis looking for me?" Since Gu Yanbai arrived in Ba County, he has never seen anyone else except for the county order, but he didn't know that this master actually recognized him.

"How do you know who I am?" Gu Yanbai looked at him with a vague gaze.

This master must have done his homework, or someone told him in advance.

Gu Yanbai believed in the latter more.

"The little marquis's heavenly assets can be guessed at a glance." The master praised Gu Yanbai without hesitation.

However, Gu Yanbai is not a vegetarian, he is not the kind of person who only listens to sweet words.

"I heard that you sent a dress made of Shu brocade to Mrs. County Ling."

"Madame treats me well, so she naturally deserves this generous gift." The master said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Then do you know that this Shu brocade has a horse for 100 gold."

100 gold? When Mingyuexi heard this, she swallowed her saliva secretly.

A piece of clothing is worth so much money, it's really a tyrannical thing.

If she had the money, she would have used it to eat, drink, and be merry.

"It's a lowly old man." The master made up the story without blushing, Gu Yanbai didn't believe that he would have such a powerful friend for the time being.

I'm afraid nine times out of ten it's his superior.

"Did you know that the county order was poisoned in prison?" Gu Yanbai began to trick him.

The master first pretended to be surprised, and then turned to grief.

"I don't know who harmed the county order?"

Gu Yanbai looked at him without saying a word, and he already had a certain number in his heart.

"I'm going to ask you, master."

The master obviously didn't expect Gu Yanbai to suspect himself so quickly, but when he came prepared, he said lightly: "I don't understand what you're talking about, little marquis." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, we'll send someone to check your house." Gu Yanbai waved his hand and summoned the subordinates who went to the master's house to loot the account books.

The entourage led by him handed the account book to Gu Yanbai's hand, and the master who saw it was nervous.

He didn't expect the little marquis to find himself out so quickly.

"Master, how should you explain this account book?" Gu Yanbai took the account book in his hand and shook it, looking at the somewhat restless master with a playful expression.

The more panicked he is, the more ghosts he has in his heart.

As long as he uses a little trick, this is the master who will naturally take the bait.

"I don't know what you're talking about, little marquis." The master thought that Gu Yanbai really turned out the account book from his house, held it in his palm, and slowly broke out in a cold sweat.

But as long as he bites on and doesn't admit it, he can't help this little marquis.

"But this clearly records the certificate of whether you have any communication with foreign businessmen!"

After hearing this, the master reacted very violently, and this master actually wanted to frame him for colluding with foreign businessmen.

"Little Hou Ye, I think you misunderstood, you didn't trade with foreign businessmen behind your back, and you don't have any account books."

"Yes, then let's ask the prefectural order."

Saying that, he pretended to find the dead county magistrate.

"How is it possible, he is obviously dead!" The master said suddenly.

"How do you know he's dead?" Gu Yanbai followed closely behind, forcing the master to speak.

"I, too, heard about it from someone else." The master hurriedly changed his words.

"Actually, he was saved by me in time, as long as he wakes up, the truth of all this will be revealed." Gu Yan's white face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he was lying.

"What, he was obviously poisoned by me, and it is impossible for him to come back from the dead!" The master said angrily.

As soon as he said that, he knew that he had been fooled.

"You!" He pointed to the little marquis, a little distressed. I was so careful, but I was actually put on a show by the new governor.

"Well, anyway, the dog official is dead, and I have revenge." The master's generous appearance of dying made Mingyuexi a little puzzled.

It seems that this master has a bad relationship with the county order, Mingyuexi secretly guessed in her heart.

"He slaughtered my whole family back then, if I hadn't gone out, I would have been afraid of being poisoned by him, and today I will get revenge, and I will die without regrets." The master said impassionedly, as if he had really been wronged.
