At that moment, Lin Boqin thought of the case of Bishui Temple.

Master Xuanming and Qinghui insisted at the beginning, saying that the silver was donated by pilgrims, and they didn't know where it came from. But Governor Chen was secretly using the official silver after the fire was consumed, and he vaguely felt that there was a connection between the two.

Chu Hui's eyes rolled, and she immediately said: "If Governor Chen really embezzles the official money of the imperial court in private, you can check it in the account book of the government house." ”

Lin Boqin shook his head: "Now the household is in charge of Zhao Qi, and I can't touch it at all." ”

"What's so hard about this, sneak in!" Chu Cheng smiled at him, her eyes wandering over Feng He.

Feng He: "......"

This woman wants him to do something like stealing chickens and dogs!

Although Lin Boqin felt that this was inappropriate, the stakes were very high, he didn't dare to be sloppy, thought about it, and said, "I want to interrogate the monks of Bishui Temple." ”

Chu Ji and Feng He glanced at each other, waiting for him to continue.

"Tomorrow, I will find out where the account books are kept, and I will give Feng He a map of the mansion and the house, and then Feng He will be able to meet Hu Yu and Yang Lali. During this period, I said that I was ill and secretly returned to Qingyuan County. ”

It was impossible for Governor Chen to guess that Lin Boqin would be so bold and investigate him privately.

But the more dangerous it is, the safer it is, Chu Shen touched her chin, nodded and said, "I'm with my husband." ”

Lin Boqin frowned: "Sister, don't mess around, you will stay at home these days." ”

"That's not going to work."

Chu Cheng had already thought of her words, "If you are arrested in Qingyuan County halfway through, and the news reaches the ears of Governor Chen, wouldn't I be caught in the urn and not even have a chance to run?" With you, even if something happens to the middle of the road, I can slip away quickly...... Well, slip away to find helpers. ”

When Feng He heard her words, he rolled his eyes with a "sneer".

What husband and wife are deeply in love, they think of countermeasures so quickly, and they are ready to fly separately when disaster comes!

Lin Boqin put Chu Cheng's safety first, and it didn't matter to him whether she wanted to run away or not. In this way, it doesn't hurt to bring Chu Cheng with you.

The three of them discussed it for a while, and the matter was settled.

After Feng He left, Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin washed and went to bed, and it was inevitable that they would grind their ears and temples again.

Afterwards, Chu Cheng snuggled in Lin Boqin's arms, gently stroked the shallow stubble growing on his chin, and said: "Before Yun's death, she told me about the process of her acquaintance with Governor Chen. Her tone turned lower, and she asked a little dullly, "Husband, it is said that men in the world are all affectionate, will you one day, when I am old and yellow, you will be ruthless to me anymore?" ”

Lin Boqin frowned, grabbed her restless hand, and said in a deep voice, "Don't think nonsense. What's more, you and I have never fallen in love at first sight. ”

It's even like looking at each other.

Chu Ji couldn't help but laugh lowly: "It seems to be." ”

Since it's not an opening like in the book, it must be a happy ending. Thinking that his future identity will eventually be revealed, Lin Boqin's face will definitely be extraordinarily good-looking, but at that time, they already had children, and the family happily moved to the princess's mansion and lived a peaceful and happy life.

In the dead of night, there is always a lot to think about.

Chu Cheng pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask softly: "Bo Qin, if I have something to hide from you, I mean if, will you be angry?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Good thing!" Chu Ji chuckled, to let him be a concubine, of course this is a good thing!

Lin Boqin heard her cheerful tone, so he knew that he didn't care, and said: "As long as I don't violate the laws of the court, benevolence, righteousness and morality, I won't be angry." ”

After receiving his assurance, Chu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and even raised her head very happily and bit his chin: "Don't worry, your wife is innocent and has never done anything bad." ”

"I believe in you." Lin Boqin lowered his head and touched her hair, and said gently: "Late at night, go to sleep." ”

Chu Ji found a comfortable position in the crook of his arm and rubbed it, then closed his eyes and had a good night's sleep.

Following.

Lin Boqin went to the government early in the morning.

He talked to Yang Lahu Yu about the plan, and then began to apply Zhao Qi's words. Zhao Qi is quite smart, but he is a solid heart, Lin Boqin made a few excuses, and learned that the tax account book of the Wangzhou Mansion was placed in the cabinet on the right wall of the household.

In the afternoon, Lin Boqin lied that he was unwell and went to Governor Chen's mansion to take leave. Governor Chen didn't want to see him swaying in front of him, seeing that he was pale, he asked him to go home quickly to recuperate.

After Lin Boqin arrived home, Chu Cheng had already prepared horses with excellent foot strength, and the two of them disguised themselves and made a detour to leave from the north city gate.

The two of them rode together, and the speed was not slow.

Don't look at Lin Boqin's popularity as a literati, but he is very stable in driving a horse. After passing a slope, under the action of inertia, Chu Cheng couldn't help but lean back, and her back was against Lin Boqin's flat and strong chest, which made Lin Boqin's heart skip a beat, and then tightly wrapped her in her arms. Chu Ji instantly felt that the wind whistling around him was much lesser, and the weather was very cold, but Lin Boqin's arms were so warm.

Warmed over the complex and luxurious brocade quilt fox fur, warmed over the thin Sihe red dust in the deep palace.

It's like suddenly finding a place to rely on, Chu Cheng smiled slightly, nestled in his arms, and thought, it's good to have Lin Boqin here.

When he arrived in Qingyuan County, it was almost dawn, Lin Boqin pinched the time, found the dumpling stall that Gu Jingtong often went to eat, and waited for him to come over.

The fog in the early morning has not yet dissipated, and it is even colder. However, a figure who came from afar shook a folding fan, and he was wandering.

Chu Cheng knew that it was Gu Jingtong with her toes, she and Lin Boqin glanced at each other, and immediately dragged him to the alley next to the street.

"Someone's coming...... Uh, Peizhi? Gu Jingtong turned his head to look at Chu Hui, "Li Siniang?" ”

Lin Boqin nodded: "Sheng Feng, I have to ask you for something." ”

He quickly explained his intention to Gu Jingtong, Gu Jingtong also put away his joking expression, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you ask about this matter." He looked up at the sky, "At two o'clock in the afternoon, we still met at the Yongfeng Tea House on West Street. ”

After agreeing on the time and place, Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin went to the teahouse to wait.

When the tea was drunk into white water and tasteless, Gu Jingtong came to the end of the alley with a pile of paper, and said solemnly: "Master Xuanming and Qinghui have both explained, and sure enough, the original merit box was stolen, and it was still greasy. ”

"What's the?"

"Look." Gu Jingtong handed the confession with his fingerprint to Lin Boqin, "Master Xuanming stole the merit box and gave it to Yu Xuanji, but it was found out that he lost the gambling money by himself. But in fact, it is not like that, although Master Xuanming is a good gambler, he does not dare to squander all the silver in the merit box, and all the silver in the merit box is secretly handed over to Chen Zhifu. ”

Lin Boqin was taken aback: "The five hundred taels of silver in the merit box, Governor Chen's mansion is so open-mouthed, can he use it up?" ”

Gu Jingtong waved his hand and sighed: "You also underestimate Governor Chen's mansion, he actually collects the sesame oil money from Bishui Temple every year." Because Master Xuanming himself is not clean, they dare not speak out. This pickling thing has been done for at least six years, and Governor Chen can now fully afford the words 'family wealth'. ”

Lin Boqin's eyebrows are frowning, "That official silver ......"

"The official bank Chen Governor must have moved." Gu Jingtong said seriously, "Master Xuanming has seen Governor Chen's Mansion use the official silver after the fire was consumed. Think about it, Governor Chen didn't even let go of the sesame oil money in Bishui Temple, greedy for ink and favoritism, did he do less of this kind of thing? Not only that, but I went to the gambling house and confirmed that Governor Chen had gone to buy poison in disguise. ”

Chu Hui's forehead twitched.

This Chen Governor's Mansion, no matter how fat he disguises, he will be seen.

In other words, he doesn't care at all that others know that he killed his wife, and he, as the parent official of Wangzhou, has nothing to fear.

"The confessions of the casino owner and Master Xuanming and others are all here."

Black and white letters, bright red fingerprints, and conclusive evidence.

Lin Boqin frowned tightly and had nothing to say.

Gu Jingtong knocked the folding fan on the palm of his hand and muttered: "Peizhi, even if you know now that Governor Chen is corrupt, kills his wife, and embezzles official money, so what?" You've finally been promoted, do you want to fight against him? He sighed again, "Besides...... If you want to do it, you can't do it! ”

Lin Boqin didn't know this truth.

Governor Chen couldn't use so much silver at all, the amount of official silver was huge, and he couldn't eat this piece of bread alone. I don't know that there is a muddy mess in the government, and there are a few people who are not contaminated with meat.

Not only that, Governor Chen has been an official for many years, and he has deep roots in Wangzhou, which is far from being something that he can shake from a six-grade official. Just like Cai Gaoyi's crime at the beginning, if it hadn't alarmed the imperial court, and Lord Huo helped to try it, it is unknown whether he would have been able to get out of the trial.

Gu Jingtong glanced at him deeply and patted him on the shoulder: "Peizhi, listen to my advice, this matter is ...... It's okay to pretend you don't know. ”

"Here you go again."

At this time, Lin Boqin smiled helplessly.

Gu Jingtong pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything more. The heart of a friend, he understands. Just because I understand, I don't persuade.

"Whatever is needed, I am duty-bound."

Lin Boqin's heart was moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Just help me keep an eye on those witnesses." ”

The two of them spoke, but Chu Cheng never interjected. Just looked at Lin Boqin in front of him, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

This kind of thing of hitting a stone with an egg, to be honest, it is the first time she has seen it after living for more than ten years. It's like in the palace, the master said the wrong thing, and the slave knew that he couldn't contradict it, but he still had to correct it, and what did he get in the end? In exchange for the correctness of this sentence, in exchange for the minions' random sticks to death?

Chu Cheng smiled bitterly.

Of course, she wouldn't let Lin Boqin die.

"I'll make it easier." Chu Cheng leaned close to Lin Boqin's ear and whispered.

The thatched toilet in the teahouse was downstairs, and Lin Boqin bowed his head: "Go ahead." ”

The intimate actions of the two naturally did not escape Gu Jingtong's gaze, he unfolded the folding fan, lowered his eyes and fanned the wind, and looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the cup in a distracted manner.

Chu Cheng quickly went downstairs, did not go to the toilet, but hurriedly wrote a letter, took out the silver, and asked the shopkeeper to send it to Youzhou on his behalf.

Watching the shopkeeper seal the fire paint with his own hands, Chu Cheng's heart stabilized a little.

She had already thought about it and asked Ning Que and Yu Wenyi to come over to solve Governor Chen's case.

It's selfishness...... She can't, can't let Lin Boqin take the risk.
