He Lingjiang handed the letterhead in his hand to Pei You, and took out the remaining letters to read.

Except for two or three letters from other court officials, the rest were letters from the crown prince, the contents of which were nothing more than those related to the private mining of copper mines.

Behind this Liu Yuan, it is the prince!

He Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly: "At this moment, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is afraid that it will be shaken." ”

The prince of a dignified country actually colluded with the court officials to privately mine copper and iron, ignore the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, fill his private pockets, and regard the country, mountains and societies as his own things.

The saint must have been furious at this time.

Judging from these letters, Liu Yuan's actions should have been ordered by the crown prince.

In addition to greedy copper and iron ore, if it is found out that the prince is also involved in the private sale of iron and enemy countries, what kind of situation will this court be like at that time, it will be another story.

He Lingjiang put the letter aside, and turned out the pamphlet pressed underneath, and saw that it recorded the amount of copper ore mined from all over the time.

She twisted her eyebrows and thought about the private account she found in the Nanshan mining area, so that the amount of copper ore transported from this private mining should be about the same.

However, when the books are turned from beginning to end, only the number of copper mines is recorded.

"The record of privately mined iron ore is not here?" He Lingjiang frowned.

Although the private mining of copper ore is serious, the amount of it is only 12 out of 10 compared to iron ore, not to mention, the iron ore is made into iron tools and sold to Beidi.

The significance of this is even more serious.

Liu Yuan didn't record them in the same account book?

Pei You pointed to the letters: "This also only mentions copper mining. ”

"Liu Yuan, this is to separate the copper and iron for accounting?" He Lingjiang flipped through the copper box again, but there were only a few letters and the account book in her hand.

They searched in this study for a long time, but only found this one hidden compartment.

At present, they only have these in their hands, although they can prove that the prince and Liu Yuan and others have privately mined copper mines, but they cannot connect them with the private mining of iron tools.

Pei You couldn't help but rejoice: "Fortunately, those miners were saved, and with them as evidence, even if you can't get the iron ore private account, you can have a chance of winning." ”

He Lingjiang nodded, except for the miners, the mine cave was not completely blown up and collapsed, as long as a little effort was wasted to dig out the hole, the mine tunnel inside and the traces of mining can be proved.

The two were no longer entangled in this, He Lingjiang hid the envelope and the account book in his arms in Pei You's arms, and then locked the copper lock again, and even the Chinese characters in the copper hoop were arranged by her in the original order.

The silk thread that Pei You was pulling in one hand went around the dark grid again, restored it to its original state, and then stood up.

The two were about to go out, but suddenly a voice came from outside the door.

"You two, why did you fall asleep?"

It was the guards who were patrolling back and forth, and they found the two people guarding the door dozing off.

The two guards were startled by him, and instantly woke up from their sleep, rubbing their eyes.

The two laughed: "Somehow, I was a little sleepy in the second half of the night. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn again.

The patrol man frowned and stared at them: "Be vigilant, don't be lazy!" ”

In recent days, the county guard has taken the safety of the palace very seriously, and specially ordered to send more people to inspect it.

The study is a place that the county guard attaches great importance to, and if there is any mistake, everyone can not afford to take responsibility.

"What's wrong?" The man asked.

The guard standing on the left side of the study door shook his head: "No. We just dozed off for a moment, and nothing out of the ordinary. ”

However, when they said this, the two of them couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts.

When the patrol team walked over, they hurriedly pushed open the door of the study, lit the candles on the lampstand, and carefully checked them in the study.

He Lingjiang and Pei You, who were hiding on the beam, couldn't help but hold their breath.

With the steps of the two guards, the lights approached little by little, and the room gradually lit up.

He Lingjiang lowered his body and blocked his figure with the help of the beam.

The two guards looked at the whole room, pushed the window closed, and were relieved to see that there was indeed nothing abnormal.

They extinguished the candlelight, closed the door of the study, and stood up again in front of the door.

After waiting for a while, He Lingjiang and Pei You, who were hiding on the beam, jumped down lightly.

Pei You walked around the room: "Go out through the window." ”

There were several windows in the study, which were tightly forked by the inside with a bolt, and because of this, the two of them could only enter through the door.

Now that the two guards have been awakened, it is the time to wake up, and it is inconvenient to cast a slumber curse.

He Lingjiang nodded: "These two times over other people's houses, there are always some things that go wrong, I think I have to be more careful next time." ”

Pei You glanced at her with a smile: "The last time the prison was an accident, but this Liu Yuan is not very human, plus he has been vigilant recently, how can he come and go as freely as in an ordinary person's house?" ”

"I went to the county mansion last night to explore the terrain, and it wasn't that simple."

"Okay." He Lingjiang shrugged, "I don't often turn over other people's houses, I know so many curves." ”

Don't turn it often?

Pei You couldn't help but slander, he saw that she was very skillful.

He walked to the window, gently pulled the bolt, and whispered to He Lingjiang, "You go out first." ”

The window was silently pushed open, and outside the window was a rockery, surrounded by plantains and bamboo.

He Lingjiang leaned over slightly, and jumped out of the window.

She turned to look at Pei You, but saw that he did not come out closely.

Through the hazy pearlescent light, it could be seen that he seemed to have plucked a long hair from his head, and wrapped one end of the hair around the wooden bolt, and then jumped out.

He Lingjiang stepped forward, and by the pearl light, he saw him leaning against the windowsill, half-closing the two windows, and moving his fingers slightly through the gap in the middle, putting the wooden bolt into a peculiar pose.

Then he closed the window and pulled gently with the hand holding the other end of the hair.

There was a soft click, and the wooden bolt was just across the back of the window, forking the two windows inward.

He Lingjiang couldn't help but secretly say when he saw it, wonderful!

Forking the window in this way can avoid being noticed, and someone in the study has climbed out of the window, which can also delay the time when Liu Yuan finds out that the letter in the study is missing.

Fortunately, she didn't know Pei You's slander, otherwise she would have replied to him, "Your Excellency, your kung fu as a gentleman on the beam is not bad." ”

The two avoided the guards who were patrolling back and forth, and with a little effort, they arrived outside the county guard mansion after more than a dozen ups and downs.

At this time, it was already daylight.

The county guard mansion is a little far away from the He mansion, and when you wait for the mansion, the sun will come out early.

He Lingjiang frowned, when she came out to be a thief, it was inconvenient to bring an umbrella, so she only changed into clothes with a less conspicuous color, who would have expected to meet Raushzi's hidden poetry lock, which was delayed for so long.

It's almost dawn right now!

She left Pei You, pulled her legs and ran out.
