Chapter 044: Asking for an Answer
The courtyard was filled with his roars, and strangely no one came in again.
He seemed to realize it, and his eyes turned to Du Yan again with horror.
"Who the hell are you?!"
Du gradually smiled: "A person who can still do it if you don't hand over the evidence, I want to convict you." ”
Cheng Xiao was like seeing a ghost when he heard this, and he didn't even swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva without saying anything.
Changying also glanced at Du Wan's silhouette.
Although he knew that he had a strategy, I was afraid that Ling Yuan and Fu Rong and the others would not dare to say it easily, was it really good to be so arrogant?
"Good, good!" Cheng Xiao gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words, then laughed a few times, looked over and said, "What you said is not wrong, the account books are indeed some unspeakable black accounts."
"The imperial court only looks for magistrates to pay taxes, but how can they know about our difficulties?
"In order to seize power in recent years, the imperial court seems to be a civilian official, but in fact, the military generals have the strength of the army, and the people in the military gate are not to say, but also often show off their might, if we don't have some ideas to fill this gap, how can we still have a way to live in the future?!"
"Don't force your way, okay!" Changying was a little impatient, her eyes swept down the corridor, and she said in a rambling voice: "By the way, if Master Cheng dies, what can I do with these flowers?" ”
Cheng Xiao was stunned when he heard this.
"Master! Nankang Wei Tan Shao is here with soldiers and horses to Changxing! ”
At this moment, an unfamiliar face suddenly entered the door, and when he arrived at Du Yan, he leaned over and said.
Cheng Xiao's facial muscles shook again, and he suddenly looked at the Taihu Stone on the side, and struggled to pounce forward!
Du gradually saw his eyes quickly, flew up and slapped him, and then said, "Doctor!" Keep your mouth alive! ”
The messenger then departed.
Although Cheng Xiao attempted suicide, he was still hit in the back by Du Yan's palm and vomited blood!
The movement reached the courtyard gate.
Mrs. Cheng, who heard the news, had already gone to bed because of Cheng Mei's night out, and at this time she couldn't help but come to the door, but she was stopped by the people brought by Du Gradual, and she was frightened.
When he heard that something had happened to Cheng Xiao, he screamed and wanted to rush in.
Du gradually simply pulled the long tassel and retreated, and let them go to the sky and grab the ground!
"Girl!" Zi Yan rushed into the courtyard gate and rushed straight over: "You're okay, great!" ”
Just a few words were said here, and then there was a large number of close footsteps at the door from far and near, and there were loud voices that surrounded the whole mansion mixed in, and soon a large number of soldiers appeared at the gate of the courtyard, led by a fierce general wearing silver armor, majestic as a god descending.
"The last general has seen the general!"
Changying hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Tan Shao glanced at her, nodded, and then walked to Cheng Xiao, who fell to the ground: "What's the matter?" ”
"Cheng Xiao heard that the crime was exposed, so he rushed over to seek death!" Changying followed.
Tan Shao looked around, then looked at Cheng Xiao, who was staring at him with wide eyes and breathing, got up and said, "Lift it down!" Immediately block the doors of various mansions, and escort Cheng Xiao's family and all the people involved in the case to stand by! ”
Du gradually took advantage of the crowd to withdraw from the courtyard, and Changying only felt that the figure around him flashed, and his shadow was gone.
…… The rest of the night is destined to be busy.
Changying followed Tan Shao to tell all the details of the incident, and led the way to Zhenhai to help the lair capture the bandit leader.
And because this is still involved in the struggle between the crown prince and the emperor for power, many things still need to be covered up, so as not to tear out holes beyond the scope of their response.
Obviously, in this case, they can only report that he colluded with bandits to conspire to embezzle official silver, but they can't directly accuse him of doing things for the master behind him.
If you want to check, you will naturally pass people into Jingshun to touch melons, if you don't want to check, then you dare to accuse the prince of embezzling official silver, obviously you don't want to live.
"That's a good job." At the end of the hour, the subordinates gathered in the side courtyard for breakfast, and Tan Shao said to Changying, who was sitting on the left, "It seems that our General Shen is still very keen on capturing the enemy. I'm going back to give you a credit! ”
Tan Shao, who has always been serious, made a joke today, and everyone was very relaxed.
But Changying knew that as the chief of the guard, as a soldier, how could he be in a bad mood at this moment?
Don't talk about other places, just talk about Huzhou, bandits have been killed repeatedly, local officials have amassed money excessively, colluded with bandits to seek the money of the imperial court, but they took the lives of the soldiers of the guard to fight!
This time, Cheng Xiao was finally brought to an end, and such a scandal was torn out, and it was finally a sigh of relief for the soldiers who had been injured in the past for the bandits, and they were not in a good mood at this time, when would they be happy?
By the time she arrived at Du Yan's courtyard after she was done, it was already twilight.
Du gradually was wiping his sword, and he didn't pay much attention when he saw her come in.
"Congratulations, General Shen, you have made another contribution."
Changying didn't reply, leaning against the wall and looking at him: "The account book still hasn't been obtained, what should you do?" ”
Du gradually blew on the blade of the sword: "Although it is a little regrettable, but thanks to your blessing, I found out this batch of official silver, and I will not be at a loss." ”
Changying smiled, suddenly spread out his coiled hand, and took out a small roll of cloth from his sleeve.
"What?" Du gradually wondered.
"The ledger you want."
Du gradually stared at him, and then opened it.
After a few glances, he quickly closed it again!
The cloth was full of handwriting, and all the accounts of Gangnam Province that had participated in the collusion with pirates were recorded, and there were not only the stamps of the people who handled them, but also the payment and fingerprints of the Japanese invaders!
Du gradually stared at her for a long time, and put down the veil: "How did you find it?" ”
Changying looked at a few green and shiny flower seedlings under the corridor: "Cheng Xiao actually doesn't know how to raise flowers. His orchid was watered so much that I always wondered why it was so shiny and lush.
"Later, I suddenly found out that he didn't raise the same orchid, which is worth pondering, I don't know how to raise flowers but always raise flowers, and always raise the same variety, always like to hide something.
"After I went out of the study with him yesterday, I went back and looked, and this time I found that there was a dark grid under the flower pot."
Du gradually looked at her for a long time, and suddenly remembered that she was born in a noble family, and she had spent ten years in the Ling family, how reasonable it was to become an expert in the affairs of the inner house.
He stretched his waist: "Why do you want to give it to me?" If you present it yourself to the imperial court, you may be able to even be promoted to three ranks. ”
"I know." Changying nodded, "But if I don't have a foundation to support this official position, I will fall down one day."
She has no background, everything is beaten down with her bare hands, if she climbs to a high position is a victory, then why should she work so hard, just work hard to make money and throw money through the back door.
Du gradually turned his head to look at her, her half-closed eyelashes were pasted into a shadow in the twilight, but the artistic conception was like ink, the more distant it became.
"That's it! I still have something to do, so I'll go first. She straightened up, "I bothered you to relieve me before, and this is the explanation I promised you." ”
She didn't have any special friendship with him, and in order to get an extra guarantee for herself at that time, she asked Zi Yan to hand him a paper ball, which said that she would give him an explanation afterwards, so that he could be invited.
Otherwise, why would he, a person who made her "do it for herself", for no reason?
Du gradually was noncommittal to her thoughts.
Seeing her walk to the threshold, he said again: "Shen Changying! ”
Changying turned around under the door.
He walked to the side, holding the ink and white paper that he had taken out at some point, and then he couldn't help but grab her fingers and press them on the ink, and then print them on the paper one by one.
Ten in a row, the action is fast and neat.
Changying was confused: "What are you doing here?" ”
Du gradually crossed his waist and hooked his lips: "Ask for an answer." ”
