After listening to Dongfang Yi's narration, Fu Yuan was simply furious, and what he hated most in his life was corruption and bribery, especially as an official who knew the law and broke the law.

"It's just disgusting! Ashamed of the emperor's hatred for the trust of the people, how could he do such a thing as a parent official? Fu Yuan slapped the table in disgust.

"Adults are in charge of the people, so please pay attention to your body." Dongfang Yi hurriedly persuaded Fu Yuan, who was a little rampant.

"Yes, my lord, presumably Lord Bao has been an official here for so long, just like a big forest for many years, it has been deeply rooted, and it is not an overnight thing to bring him down, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run." Nalan Jin also followed to persuade one or two.

"Check! Strict inspection! This official is fighting for this remnant, and he has to investigate it to the end! ”

Fu Yuan was deeply disgusted, and immediately sent someone to check the evidence of Lord Bao's corruption and bribery.

In the next few days, Fu Yuan took advantage of the investigation of the Lin family's extermination case, and transferred the files of the county government in the past three years to check the bottom line, focusing on the entry and exit of the county government, and the account books of some merchants.

The master took Fu Yuan to the shelf where Chen put the case file, but Fu Yuan looked around looking for something else.

"Where is the project of paying tribute to the imperial court in your county in previous years?" Fu Yuan looked at the wooden frames and said.

"The projects of previous years are all ......" Master suddenly felt that Fu Yuan was a little wrong, "Didn't the adults come to check the files of previous years?" Why do you suddenly care about the account books of the county government? ”

Before the master came, he called the toilet bag master and told him that everything that has nothing to do with the Lin family's case must be handled cautiously to prevent the truth from being true.

"This official just wants to save time, in case your county doesn't handle it properly, put them together and hinder the progress of the investigation." Fu Yuan raised his head with his hands behind his back and looked at his master sternly.

"What my lord said is that we adults went in early and told us that the files are here and the account books are here, so you don't have to worry." The master pointed to the left and right sides.

Fu Yuan also suspected that the inconspicuous place was the place where the account books were stored at first, but when the master said this, he was even more sure.

"Well, you can be busy with you, just come and check it in person by the dossier officer." Fu Yuan pointed to the door.

"This ......" Master was a little hesitant, Master Bao told Master to follow Fu Yuan every step of the way, but looking at Fu Yuan's attitude, it was obvious that he didn't want Master to be in front of him.

"What's the problem?" Fu Yuan opened the file and turned his head to stare at the master.

"It's okay, the adults are new to the city, there are a lot of unfamiliar ones, and the small ones are waiting for them." The master bowed down and said with a smile.

"That's all in the past, right?" Fu Yuan pointed to the shelf in front of him and said.

"Yes." Master circled.

"Nothing else, right?" Fu Yuan confirmed again.

"Yes." Master nodded.

"The official wants to read all these files, what do you need to serve, just let the yacha wait outside the door." Fu Yuan motioned for the master to go out.

The master had no choice but to go out and quickly report the matter to Bao

My lord. He was even more sure that Fu Yuan's purpose for coming here was definitely not as simple as the Charin family's case.

"Not good!" Master Bao suddenly glared and shouted.

"What's wrong, sir?" The master was also taken aback.

"The Chin Cha is still in the database?" Master Bao asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

Master Bao saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly took the master to the database. The master still wondered, it didn't seem to say anything to reveal secrets, why did he suddenly become so nervous.

Dongfang Yi thought that if he wanted to solve the case of the Lin family's annihilation, he still had to find Liu Ruyan, so that the truth would be revealed.

"My lord, Dongfang Yi asks to see you." The voice of a guard was heard outside the door.

"Come in."

Fu Yuan thought for a moment and asked the guards to give Dongfang Yi convenience and allow him to enter the database.

When Dongfang Yi came in, he found that the database was perfunctory and a little messy, but he was not checking the case files of the past few years. Rather, the accounts handed over to the state treasury by the county government in recent years have been checked one by one.

"My lord, this is ......," Dongfang Yi asked puzzled.

"I checked, there is a problem with the account books of the county government in recent years, and now it is certain that Lord Bao is involved in corruption, but I still need enough evidence. Is there anything you have to do here? Fu Yuan categorized and sorted out those ledgers for later evidence.

"When I came, I wanted to ask the adults to help find Liu Ruyan." Dongfang Yi raised his hand and saluted.

"Who is Liu Ruyan? Does this have anything to do with the case? Fu Yuan was a little puzzled, as if he hadn't noticed such a person before.

"She is the peony of Wanhualou, the initiator of the Lin family's case, as long as she finds her case in Lotus Village, the truth will be revealed." Dongfang Yi explained it clearly to Fu Yuan.

Fu Yuan walked around with the account book, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded and agreed.

"The cause and effect of this case is not very clear. At your convenience, the official can transfer the people in the yamen as you like, and you will be responsible for this case, and in addition, you will be responsible for the case, and then help the official evaluate the evidence of Lord Bao's corruption and bribery. ”

Fu Yuan was happy to be idle, and directly became a shopkeeper, leaving Dongfang Yi to handle everything. Be at the helm yourself.

In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.

"Thank you for your trust, the grass people will live up to your trust." Dongfang Yi nodded movingly.

When we met for the first time, being able to get such a big trust from Fu Yuan was really a heart-warming friendship for Dongfang Yi.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that Dongfang Yi's conversation with Fu Yuan happened to be heard by Master Bao who came to find Fu Yuan, and he was panicked outside the door, unable to speak for a long time.

"My lord, shall we go in again?" The master looked at the hair-fluted Lord Bao and was a little puzzled.

"No, the official suddenly remembered that there was still something to do, you just need to serve Lord Haoqincha."

Mr. Bao gave a simple explanation, and then left the county office in a hurry, and the master looked at Mr. Bao's back in the distance, not knowing where to go.

Mr. Bao came to Wanhualou in disguise, and was entangled by those graceful girls, but he didn't have the heart to look at them more, and went upstairs to find Peony.

Peony was picking up customers, and when he heard that the coat said that Mr. Bao was looking for it, he sent the benefactor directly to others.

"Lao Tzu, you spend money, you dare to do this to me, believe it or not, I smashed your broken place?" The guests complained dissatisfied.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, the concubine suddenly felt unwell, let Begonia accompany you more. Come, bring this master over. Peony asked the maid to bring the benefactor to Begonia.

Seeing that there was no one around, when it was safe, Peony invited Mr. Bao to the house from the back door.

"My lord, it's really Yaxing, come to me in person." Peony teased.

"You're still in the mood to have fun here, do you know that Lord Qincha is investigating corruption?" Master Bao was a little angry.

"It's not that I'm looking for anything about me, Peony is just a girl in Wanhualou, and the corruption has nothing to do with me." Peony didn't have a good face, and directly rejected Lord Bao.

"You have your share in taking bribes, and Lord Qincha handed over all the cases of the Lin family to Dongfang Yi to deal with, you didn't contribute much at the beginning, and if this official has something, you can't get out of it." Master Bao angrily pulled Peony's arm and threatened.

"Joke, you think that Lord Qincha will believe that I, a person from Wanhualou, colluded with you, it's really funny." Peony disdainfully shook off the bag.

"Humph! Hello, do it yourself, this official is not a vegetarian, it's a big deal, when the time comes, a fish will die and the net will be broken. ”

Lord Bao looked at Peony's look of shirking responsibility, full of anger. Just leave the last word of advice, and then leave to find a way to deal with the affairs of the yamen.

After Mr. Bao left, the more Peony thought about it, the more scared he became, and he felt that things had reached the point where the paper couldn't hold the fire, so he found Pin'er.

"Pin'er, how long have you been in Wanhualou?" Peony asked in a slow voice.

"Back girl, it's been almost half a year." Pin'er lowered her head.

"How could a good girl come to such a place, and is there anyone else in the family?" Peony takes a sip of tea.

"I have parents at home, my brother is already married, and my sister-in-law doesn't like me, so I came here." Pin'er's tone was so sad.

"In this case, you come here."

Peony called Pin'er to her and whispered in her ear for a long time. Listening to Pin'er was frightened, but her face was full of grievances but she didn't dare to refuse.

"Girl, I'm ......" Pin Er swallowed.

"Don't worry. It's just a temporary delay, I will find someone to save you, and give you a large sum of money, so that you can leave here and find a good family to marry, and live the rest of your life in peace. ”

Peony took Pin'er's hand sincerely, and said the truth, for the sake of the silver, Pin'er thought about it for a long time and agreed.

Mr. Bao is anxious to deal with corruption and bribery, and it looks good that there are drums outside. Qin Cha was here, keeping an eye on him at any time, so he had to deal with it first.

"Who, what, what drumming?" Bao didn't want to lift his head.

"Lord Hui, the kneeling person is the product of Wanhualou, and she admits that she killed the Lin family." The master replied.

Mr. Bao immediately came to his senses, but he didn't expect that the effect of Peony was quite fast just after he finished speaking, and someone immediately came to surrender.

"Then tell me, why did you kill the people of the Lin family?" Master Bao was sitting and looking at Pin'er.

"My parents are seriously ill, and the Lin family owes me the money, and they didn't pay it back three times or twice, and they killed them in a fit of anger when they saw their parents suffering." Pin'er came according to the peony explanation of 1510.

Pin'er's words were full of loopholes, and Nalan Jin, who was rushed over, heard the clues inside.

"Come, take them down, and wait for them to fall." Bao Daren did it hastily, and the official sent Pin'er to prison temporarily.

"My lord, something is wrong, how could Pin'er be so thin and small to kill Master Lin, let alone the whole family." Nalan Jin stopped Lord Bao.

"And what do you mean?" Mr. Bao was a little impatient.

Nalan Jin is silent, and officials don't fight with their lives, this is an unchanging truth. But she privately investigated and found that Pin'er's parents were alive and well, and there was no illness at all.

So, Nalan Jin reported this matter to Fu Yuan.

Peony learned that the matter was revealed, so she decided that Pin'er could not stay.
