After Master Bian Que's careful recuperation during this time, Xiaoyaohou's body has mostly improved.

"It's a pity that there are a lot of miracle doctors and nobles, so I left only a health care prescription and left." When she said this, Mrs. Chen's face was full of pity.

Mingyuexi nodded and there was no other way, it was not easy for her to summon Bian Que, whether she could stay or not was up to him.

The two exchanged pleasantries, although they lived in the Hou Mansion together, they had not seen each other for more than a month.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a person wearing an ink-colored tights, a ghost-looking mask, and a long sword stabbed at Mrs. Chen.

Seeing this, Mingyuexi quickly pulled Mrs. Chen aside, the masked man turned into a pounce, his face was hideous, he held the sword again to charge his strength, and made a comeback, the speed made Mingyuexi a little unable to parry, seeing that the sword pointed at the throat, Mingyuexi had an idea, grabbed a handful of sand from the flower pot on his side, and threw it towards the masked man while he was unprepared, and suddenly the masked man's sword action came to an abrupt end, and Mingyuexi immediately pulled Mrs. Chen, who was a little frightened, and secretly used merit points to summon helpers.

At this time, three or five gray-robed people were picked out from the courtyard wall, and Ming Yuexi found that these people were exactly the same clothes as the clothes she saw in Gu Yanbai a few days ago.

Seeing that they were entangled with the male masked man, Ming Yuexi hurriedly pulled Mrs. Chen to hide in a safe place, the sound of the fight gradually subsided, and Ming Yuexi heard Gu Yanbai's voice and slowly poked her head out.

"Who sent you here?" Gu Yanbai Zhijian's eyes fiercely looked at the masked man lying on the ground.

The masked man's hands and feet were restrained and he couldn't move, but his mouth was very strict, Gu Yanbai saw that his teeth were tightly closed, and he snorted coldly, so he gave a look to the secret guard standing aside.

The secret guard understood and took the person down, and Mingyuexi watched for a while before leading Mrs. Chen to Gu Yanbai.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Gu Yanbai glanced nervously at Mingyue Xijian.

He originally went out to prepare a birthday gift for Mingyuexi, but he never thought that there were killers in this huge Hou Mansion, but fortunately he sent a secret guard and came in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gu Yanbai saw that Mrs. Chen's face beside her was a little ambiguous, so he hurriedly asked, "Is there a big problem with my mother?" ”

Mrs. Chen coughed a few times: "No." Then he pulled Mingyuexi with some gratitude and said to him: "It's Xiaoxi who sacrifices his life to protect me." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yanbai took a deep look at Mingyuexi and said to her, "Wait for me here", and then helped Mrs. Chen back to the room.

"Whew~" Mingyuexi sat on the stone bench in the garden and glanced up at the cloudless sky.

Gu Yanbai, who had turned back, happened to see the quiet appearance of such a good time, the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose, he walked to Mingyuexi's side, and stretched out his hand to hold a beautiful box.

Ming Yuexi glanced at Gu Yanbai, and then at the box in his hand, a little surprised.

She pointed to herself: "Sent to me?" ”

Gu Yanbai nodded: "Today is..."

Before she finished speaking, Mingyuexi took the box and said while opening it: "Today is the day when Mrs. Zhang and Liu Shangshu agreed to meet. ”

She opened the box, and a beautiful hairpin came into view.

Gu Yanbai's blurted out words were snatched away by Mingyuexi, and he glanced at Mingyuexi a little helplessly.

He sent the secret guard to ambush the place where the two of them met early in the morning, so that he had time to prepare a birthday gift for her, and he didn't want this woman to care.

He said a little sullenly: "Mrs. Zhang has been caught by me and is now being escorted to Dali Temple." ”

Mingyuexi nodded.

Thanks to the information provided to them by the master, they found the black ledger he said.

"And thank you." Gu Yanbai looked at Mingyue Creek.

If she hadn't figured out the existence of a black ledger from her master's mouth, she wouldn't have caught Liu Shangshu and Mrs. Zhang today.

When he went, he happened to bump into the two of them preparing to destroy the ledger.

Mingyuexi nodded indifferently, thinking of forcing the master to tell the truth, she laughed out loud.

At that time, Gu Yanbai was busy running around for the prince, she had nothing to do, so she went to the prison to hear about the romantic past between the master and the county lady, but she didn't think about it, and she saw him alone against the prison wall.

After listening to the rhyme, Mingyuexi smashed her mouth, and suddenly she had an idea and thought of a way to set her master's words.

She summoned Zhu Bajie to change into the appearance of the county lady, but she didn't expect that as soon as the master saw Zhu Bajie, he immediately cried bitterly, and lost the spirit of careful calculation in the past.

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Mingyuexi took out a feather from his arms, ordered someone to detain Zhu Bajie, and then scratched the soles of his feet.

Sure enough, when the master saw that the "county lady" was tortured, he turned his head and scolded Mingyuexi, and looked at the "county lady" with snot and tears from time to time.

After a stalemate for a long time, he compromised with Mingyuexi and took the initiative to say that he had collected money and black ledgers for Liu Shangshu for many years.

"Poor thing." Mingyuexi played with the delicate hairpin in her hand and sighed: "This master has calculated everything, but I didn't expect to lose in the hands of my sweetheart." ”

Gu Yanbai took the hairpin in his hand, put it on the hairpin for her, and then glanced at it with satisfaction.

"If I'm in danger, will you save me?" Mingyuexi looked at him straight and got an almost thoughtless answer: "Yes." ”

Mingyuexi smiled, her heart was very warm, bald, Gu Yanbai also asked her this question, who knew that Mingyuexi actually said with a short circuit in her head: "You are so powerful, you are not afraid." ”

Gu Yanbai was silent for a long time, and seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Mingyuexi said in a panic: "Don't worry, no matter who is in danger, I will help." ”

Gu Yanbai's expression was only slightly better, he reached out and touched Mingyuexi's head, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Can Liu Shangshu be imprisoned?"

Gu Yanbai shook his head and withdrew his hand.

Liu Shangshu took advantage of the chaos of arrest and didn't know where to flee.

Gu Yanbai also intended to let him go back, after all, there was someone behind Liu Shangshu to support him, and he could not defend it for the time being, so he could only bring Taifu back first.

"It's a pity." Mingyuexi sighed.

But fortunately, it is not all for nothing.

Gu Yanbai nodded, he had secretly sent the account book to the emperor, hoping to take this opportunity to release the prince.

In the evening, the emperor sent someone to send him the news, Gu Yanbai was appointed to be fully responsible for this matter, and the crown prince could be lifted from the grounding for the time being.

When Gu Yanbai found out, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he had seen it early in the morning, and the black ledger recorded that in the past ten years, the master had collected a lot of people's fat and ointment in the name of the county order, and the most recent one was the disaster relief money in Ba County.

As for the whereabouts of the money, there are only sporadic records on it.
