Zuo Linghong seemed to think that the days were too peaceful, and the eyeliner placed on the Li Mansion had not heard news for many days, so he couldn't sit still. Secretly handed over the news to the eyeliner of the Li Mansion and ordered him to provide effective information every day.

Eyeliner has received the task, and it is inevitable to go all out to complete it.

This is exactly what Li Zhenghang is looking forward to the most, and he is still afraid that his eyes will not act. Otherwise, how can you catch them without showing their feet at all?

Xiao Tangzi, the apprentice of Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, followed Li Zhenghang's orders and reported to him the advance items of the day every morning. Early in the morning of this day, when he walked not far from the master's study, he vaguely saw a figure turning from the corner of the wall, very suspicious. He wanted to follow, but in doing so, he missed the time that the master requested.

Xiao Tangzi had no choice but to report the budget for the day to the master first.

He came to the door of Li Zhenghang's study, and although the door of Li Zhenghang's study was wide open, Xiao Tangzi still knocked on the door. Li Zhenghang seemed to be thinking about something, and when he heard the sound, he didn't raise his head, only focused on what was in front of him, and responded leisurely: "Come in." ”

Xiao Tangzi entered the house and opened his mouth and said, "Master, someone has been outside your study recently——"

Li Zhenghang immediately raised his hand to signal silence.

Xiao Tangzi immediately understood what Li Zhenghang meant, did not continue to say this, and then reported his work: "Master, this is today's various expenditure budgets. Li Zhenghang brought the stack of gray and yellow paper brought by Xiao Tangzi to his eyes and said, "Well, I know." You put it here, and after I've read it, you can come back and pick it up. ”

"Yes, sir." Xiao Tangzi retreated, "The little one retreats." ”

"By the way, don't talk nonsense about the matter, so as not to startle the snake." Li Zhenghang raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Tangzi and said.

"The little one understands." When Xiao Tangzi finished his report and left the study, he didn't see anyone again.

This phenomenon is all expected by Li Zhenghang, since it has been discovered, it will not appear immediately, so that people can determine who it is. After Li Zhenghang finished reading the budget of the day, he took it as a reason to personally send the budget of the day to the housekeeper, and talked to Xiao Tangzi privately. He found an open and conspicuous place to talk to Xiao Tangzi, so that people could not feel that he was hiding, and he could not let others hear what he was saying. He asked, "What do you want to tell me just now in my study?" ”

"Master, someone has been sneaking around outside your study recently, and when he saw the little one coming, he fled. I didn't see who it was, but I was sure that it must be someone from the house. ”

"This person's size and age, do you have a spectrum?"

Xiao Tangzi tried hard to recall, the man's pace was fast, and he was definitely not an old man. The figure seems to be thin and medium-sized, and under his description, Li Zhenghang seems to know it in his heart.

Li Zhenghang expected that the eyeliner would not be harvested in the early morning, and he would not give up.

That night, just after dinner, Li Zhenghang sent someone to invite Gao Junming. Gao Junming was full of doubts about Li Zhenghang's move, and asked as soon as he came: "What advice did Brother Ren ask me to come to?" ”

Li Zhenghang smiled and said: "I don't dare to advise, but our two families are world friends, so I asked you to reminisce about the past." Let's talk about it in the study. When the two came to Li Zhenghang's study, they saw a maid come in with a teacup and a teapot shortly after they sat down: "Master, because it's night, Madame ordered to send a few cups of weak tea." ”

"Hmm." After the maid served tea to the two of them, Li Zhenghang ordered, "You go down." No one is allowed to come in without my command. ”

"Slaves obey!"

Not long after the maid walked out, Li Zhenghang got up and prepared to close the door.

Gao Junming asked again suspiciously: "What kind of fame are you doing?" ”

"Tall man, just watch the play." As he spoke, he closed the door. At this time, Xiao Tangzi seemed to inadvertently spread the news that the master was talking about important things in the study.

"Is the boy coming?" Li Zhenghang asked.

Of course, as soon as he heard that he came to Li Mansion to play, he raised his hands in approval, and quickly followed, and he had already gone to Wanning. It's really rude to say, and I don't know how to come over to say hello and say hello to Brother Ren. ”

"What did Master Gao say? With the relationship between our two families, why should we be so outside? I probably didn't have a relationship with my son in this life, and I have long treated Ziang as half a son. He can come and go in and out of the Li Mansion at will, not to mention that he is also the quasi-son-in-law of our Li family. Speaking of this, Li Zhenghang couldn't help but show some sadness.

Gao Junming noticed his displeasure and asked in a low voice, "What?" He still has no whereabouts? ”

The "he" in Gao Junming's mouth is Li Zhenghang's eldest son. Almost everyone knows the two daughters of the Li family, but few people know that Li Zhenghang actually has an eldest son who was lost during the chaos.

He barely mentioned this eldest son to anyone, and very few people knew about it. Even his family never mentioned it, never mentioned it to Wanning and Wanying, and the husband and wife didn't mention it, because it was a scar. He just kept searching for the whereabouts of this son.

Li Zhenghang replied: "I'm afraid that there will be more luck than luck." ”

"Brother Li doesn't have to worry, he will treat Ziang as a son in the future, which is really an honor for our Gao family."

The two chatted and chatted when they heard shouting and fighting outside. Gao Junming asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Zhenghang took a sip of tea, and replied leisurely: "At first, I wasn't sure, but if there is really a drama tonight, let's go out and take a look." Both of them heard the sound and drove out. I saw that a few people controlled a person, and after a fight just now, this person was finally caught.

Li Zhenghang approached: "Come on, come on, raise your head, and see who is doing such an earth-shattering thing in the house?" ”

The man didn't look up, the person who held him pulled his hair and forced him to raise his face, Li Zhenghang saw it clearly, and guessed in his heart that it was really the same person: "Isn't this Jiao'er?" I usually really underestimate you, but I didn't see that you still have this ability. ”

"Master, why did you arrest me?"

Li Zhenghang straightened up and sighed. Xiao Tangzi saw that Li Zhenghang was too lazy to quibble with him, so he said: "Are you a lowly embryo worthy of being concerned in front of the master?" You're sneaking around outside the master's study, eavesdropping on secrets, and trying to quibble! ”

"I'm just passing by the master's study."

"Passing by? No one in the house knows that the master's study is an important place, and he is afraid to avoid it. You're fine, just go up. ”

Jiao'er still stiff-mouthed: "That doesn't mean that I eavesdropped on the conversation between the master and Master Gao." ”

Li Zhenghang stepped forward: "You want evidence, right?" He then ordered sternly: "Little Tangzi, search!" I don't believe I can't find anything suspicious. ”

"Yes, sir."

Jiao'er was held by two people. Xiao Tangzi touched him all over and searched for a note, and he handed the note to Li Zhenghang: "Master, I really found evidence." Li Zhenghang took the note and saw that it read: "At dusk, the old place is on standby!" The signature is a "left" character, and Li Zhenghang can judge that the person who gave the order is Zuo Linghong based on this handwriting.

"Look at this ink is still new, it should not have been handed over for a long time, right? You're too stupid to carry such an important thing with you. Li Zhenghang was already very angry, "Eat things inside and outside!" How much good he has given you! I really didn't expect that a traitor like you could appear in my Li Mansion! ”

Seeing this scene, Gao Junming knew that Zuo Linghong's eyeliner in the Li Mansion had been revealed. Did Li Zhenghang know that he also planted eyeliner on the Li Mansion? Although I am not sure, there is always something difficult on my face. Since Li Zhenghang was promoted, Gao Junming has also been much afraid of him. Gao Junming said with some concern: "Like Brother Li, I also didn't expect that there were such people in the house. Brother Li is humble, treats his subordinates well, and is strictly disciplined, so there should be no such villain. ”

Li Zhenghang sneered, but did not speak, and then he sighed softly. The reason why he sneered was because he had long suspected that Gao Junming had also laid eyeliner on his mansion. His sudden promotion has made many people look sideways, and there are waves of eyeliner in the house, and it is not unusual for Gao Junming to be among them.

He was only suspicious at this time, of course, even if it was certain and there was conclusive evidence, he would not stiffen his relationship with Gao Junming. But when Gao Junming spoke like this, he felt hypocritical and ridiculous. He sighed softly, and he really felt sad that there was such an unscrupulous person in his house.

He then beckoned a subordinate to come over: "You go to Zuo Mansion and invite Lord Zuo Linghongzuo here." ”

"Yes, sir."

"You take care of him!" Li Zhenghang commanded, lowered his head slightly, and said to Jiao'er: "You are here and honestly waiting for your master to come." Then he ordered, "Come with me a few men and search the house of this bastard." ”

This search didn't matter, and sure enough, I found a lot of silver taels and valuables. Li Zhenghang mentioned Jiao'er and scolded him: "I didn't expect you to be richer than the subordinates in the house!" Where does this money come from? ”

The evidence was in front of him, and Jiao'er had nothing to say.

After a while, Zuo Linghong came. When he saw Li Zhenghang and Gao Junming, he greeted respectfully: "My subordinates have seen two adults. The two of them didn't call Zuo Linghong, who greeted them for a long time, to get up, and he kept bowing with his hands.

"I don't know what Lord Zuo means? Stick an eye in my house, is it looking for something? Li Zhenghang asked.

Zuo Linghong looked at Jiao'er and said casually: "I don't know him." ”

"Still quibbling."

Zuo Linghong also pretended to be jealous of the two high-ranking officials: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin!" Li Zhenghang realized that the only way to expose Zuo Linghong's conspiracy was on the spot, and he flashed the note he found from Jiao'er to Zuo Linghong's eyes, "Lord Zuo's handwriting is not unfamiliar to this official. ”

Zuo Linghong still wanted to quibble, but Li Zhenghang didn't give him a chance at all: "I still say I don't know!" The order given in person is in front of you. How much did Lord Zuo give him? This dog minion! Even if you don't eat or drink, can you save so much silver? Not to mention that there are so many valuables. ”

Before Zuo Linghong could speak, Li Zhenghang said again: "Why did Lord Zuo do such a disgraceful thing? Just because the visit was refused, I was resentful, and your strength is too narrow, right? ”

Zuo Linghong saw that the trick was exposed, and the official was crushed to death, not to mention that the two people in front of him were still colluding together. After all, he was an official in the same dynasty, and Li Zhenghang would not do anything to him at this time, so he had to flee in a hurry.

Li Zhenghang snorted and said, "Did you see it?" Your master is now unable to protect himself, will he still care about you? Even he himself fled. ”

Seeing this, Jiao'er immediately knelt down: "Master, the little one knows that he is wrong, and he won't dare in the future." In the future, I will be loyal to my lord. ”

"Humph! Knowing what to do? Don't dare? Li Zhenghang smiled contemptuously, and then ordered sharply: "Throw this thing inside and outside the inside and outside to the inner courtyard and detain it!" ”

"Yes! Master. Several people responded at the same time.
