Chapter 872: The Edge of Danger
Xianglan was a little unhappy when she saw that he was questioning herself, and just thought about stepping forward to theorize, Su Xiaoman stopped her.
Su Xiaoman motioned to Xianglan not to speak, and said to the squire of the military department.
"Don't underestimate the woman's family, I'm not also a woman, and now I'm still in the position of Shangshu?"
The soldier was choked by Su Xiaoman, and Su Xiaoman was right, she was a good example, so he couldn't look down on women.
Then the soldier agreed, and then said that he was looking forward to tonight's event.
Maybe this time the squire of the military department perfectly replaced Li Ran's position, Su Xiaoman sighed, Li Ran's work was finally taken over.
Li Ran, who was far away in Beijing, had just gone to Yuzhou to deliver gold to Du Yue, and sneeze before he could rest.
Li Ran didn't think much about it, so he thought that maybe he was a little tired from the recent bumps, so he tidied up and went back to rest.
Su Xiaoman arranged the things for the night, and then calculated the time, probably to let them act at midnight, so it would not be easy to startle the snake.
After planning the things for the evening, Su Xiaoman and his party went back to rest one after another, preparing for the arrival of the evening.
When Su Xiaoman asked Xianglan to rest, he asked her to tell Xiaotong to sleep now.
After all, they had to copy down the ledger at night, and they were going to leave tomorrow, so they couldn't just take the things away.
This time, there is another batch of earthquake money, so he must be able to keep accounts, and if he finds that the previous one is gone, he will definitely suspect it.
So Su Xiaoman planned that after Xianglan and they got the things, they would make a copy as backup evidence.
Xianglan got the order, and then went down to inform the child, and Su Xiaoman's courtyard was filled with silence all afternoon.
Only the driver of the car stood guard outside the door to prevent others from coming and causing trouble.
In the evening, everyone was busy going back to rest after dinner, after all, they had to hurry tomorrow, so the prime minister and the others rested very early.
Su Xiaoman said to the squire of the military department that after dinner, people began to check his whereabouts.
Who would have thought that this stupid soldier was quite cautious, and did not let his subordinates do it, but went to monitor it himself.
Su Xiaoman didn't say anything, and began to go back to catch up on sleep, after all, it was a tough battle to fight at night.
During the night surveillance, the squire of the military department found that the prefect had really sneaked into the study.
The soldier was sure that the prefect must have hidden something in his study.
Because after the prefect entered, he cautiously looked out, and after finding that there was no figure, he closed the doors and windows.
Because it was night, he didn't go forward to investigate, he was afraid that the cautious prefect would find something, so he hid in the dark and waited for him to come out.
By the time the prefect came out, it was completely dark, and it was almost midnight.
Seeing that the target was gone, the soldier squire followed him to see what else he was doing.
Who knew that the prefect did not go to other places, but went to the backyard, and the soldiers who were afraid that Su Xiaoman would have an accident followed him closely
The prefect.
After discovering that he had only gone to a courtyard in the backyard, he didn't think much about it, and after knowing that there was a shy voice coming from the courtyard, the soldier returned to the room and waited for the time to come.
In the dead of night, Su Xiaoman was still asleep, and she said that she would wake her up when Xianglan came back, so the squire of the military department and Xianglan started to act.
Before leaving, the squire of the military department confirmed in that courtyard, and the sound inside had not stopped, so he would definitely not appear in the study in that prefect's mansion first.
The soldier and Xianglan tiptoed to the study, and at first the soldier didn't look down on Xianglan as a woman.
Unexpectedly, it was still very quick to act, which made the soldier squire a little impressed by her.
The two of them sneaked into the study in their night clothes, because the light was dark. So it's a lot of trouble to find.
But fortunately, Xianglan's night vision is very good, and it is not too difficult to find dead things.
The two rummaged cautiously, but after rummaging for a long time, they found no trace of evidence.
Xianglan thought that this was one of the few tasks that Madame had given her, so she had to complete it successfully, so she searched very carefully.
Each layer of Xianglan's bookshelves has been carefully rummaged, trying to find some mechanism in it.
The squire of the military department is also rummaging on the wall, after all, the secret grid is usually on the wall.
The two of them groped for a long time, but they didn't find anything.
They were already disheartened, but when the soldier's squire knocked on a brick that didn't sound right, the flame of hope was ignited again.
But it wasn't enough to know where I was, so the two of them began to look for the location of the mechanism centered on the floor tiles.
Just as the two of them were groping in the dark, the soldier's squire heard footsteps outside.
Speaking of being too late, the squire of the military department quickly got up and flew on the beam of the room with Xianglan.
The two of them hid safely in the corner, listening carefully to the movement outside the door.
With a creak, the door to the study was pushed open, and at the sound of the door opening, a beam of light peeked in.
The soldier quietly probed to check, and found that it was none other than the prefect who loved him in the backyard.
The fat prefect quietly entered the study, carrying a large box in his hand, and then gently turned the inkstone on the table.
The two people in the shadows were shocked, but they didn't expect the mechanism to be the inkstone.
As the position of the inkstone changed, the floor tiles they had found earlier changed, and the floor took on the shape of a small cabinet upwards.
There was a lot of paper inside, but the prefect didn't care about the paper, just gently turned the floor tiles.
The two in the shadows were even more surprised, but they didn't expect it to be a double mechanism.
This time, the movement was on the bookshelf on the wall, which opened to reveal a secret room.
There was nothing unique about the secret room in the dark, and when the prefect's torch poked in, the golden shiny thing blinded the eyes of the two in the dark.
I didn't expect this prefect to have so much gold, silver and jewelry,
Presumably, the box I brought here this time is also very valuable.
The prefect didn't know that anyone was in the house, so he opened the box and poured the silver into the secret room.
When the last one was poured, the prefect kissed the last one in his hand, and then put it in the secret room.
Xianglan looked a little disgusted, and almost didn't throw up, reason told her that she couldn't do that.
The fat prefect got everything in order, and then repeated the previous action to set up all the mechanisms.
Before leaving, I checked it carefully and made sure that there was nothing unusual before leaving with confidence.
The soldier listened to the footsteps that were moving away, and after confirming that there was no danger, he motioned for Xianglan to go down.
After the two of them fell behind safely, the soldier waited next to the door to confirm that there was no sound outside, and then began to look for Xianglan.
Xianglan thought about the actions of the prefect at that time, and turned lightly on the inkstone on the table.
After the inkstone turned, the dark grid in the ground really rotated out, and Xianglan hurriedly stepped forward to check the paper inside.
After carefully checking it, Xianglan almost cried out excitedly.
The soldier hurriedly covered her mouth and signaled her to be quiet.
Xianglan pointed to the stack of papers in her hand and whispered to the squire of the military department.
"That's the bill for his embezzlement, we can go back and report it to Madame."
When the squire heard that it was a bill, he was very happy, after all, he was busy all night, and he couldn't say anything he hadn't found.
Looking at Xianglan who was packing up her things, the soldier squire thought of the secret room that still had a heavy one, and asked softly.
"Shall we check out another chamber? There seems to be a lot of stuff in it. ”
Xianglan thought about the things inside, there were some gold, silver and jewelry, even if she looked at it, she couldn't take it away, so she thought about it.
But the soldier squire said next.
"Look at the specific things, and tell Lord Su by the way, isn't it?"
Hearing what the soldier said, Xianglan thought about it in her heart, and then felt that it was necessary and nodded in agreement.
The soldier's squire repeated the prefect's action, and the bookshelves opened the secret room inside to reveal it.
When Moonlight Xianglan saw the gold and silver jewelry inside, she was instantly shocked, she didn't expect this prefect to be so rich.
I just felt a little dazzling in the dark just now, but now it seems that it is full of valuable things.
Although it was full of valuable things, Xianglan didn't touch them, because she saw the fat prefect kiss those things.
After checking it, the two put the mechanism back in place, and then returned to Su Xiaoman's courtyard with the evidence.
When they arrived at Su Xiaoman's courtyard, the squire of the military department was waiting outside, and Xianglan went in to inform Su Xiaoman.
After Su Xiaoman was woken up, he said that he would let the soldier go to rest.
After hearing this, the squire of the military department wanted to go back to rest, but when he thought that he would have to pay the bill at that time, he said that he would take care of it.
Su Xiaoman couldn't convince him, so he let him go to the child's house to rest.
Squire of the military department
didn't dislike it, so he agreed with Su Xiaoman's opinion, and then went to Xiaotong's room to make up for sleep.
At this time, it was time for Su Xiaoman, Pearl, and Xiaotong to be busy.
Su Xiaoman looked at the account book in Xianglan's hand, and said in his heart that today must be a sleepless night, and then said to Pearl.
"Pearl, go prepare paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and start work."
Pearl had already been prepared, so she directly took out the prepared things for the two of them to use.
The pearl was grinding, and Su Xiaoman and Xiaotong were responsible for copying the ledger.
The number of ledgers brought back by Xianglan is very large, and it is indeed necessary to be busy for a while.
Su Xiaoman, who hadn't started writing yet, found that Xianglan was still standing next to him, so he said softly.
"Xianglan, you go and rest, it's been a busy day, and I'm calling you at that time."
Xianglan has really been busy for a day, and bringing back these ledgers is already indispensable.
