The night was deep, and at midnight, even in a bustling city like Wan'an City, the whole city fell into silence at this time.

Occasionally, there would be some barking, only to die down quickly.

As for insects and birds, because it has entered winter and the weather is getting colder, it is already extremely rare.

There was no moon, no starlight, it was dark everywhere, except for a few big red lanterns hanging in front of the big families, emitting a hazy red light.

The entire White Lotus Sect residence was also very quiet at this time.

A dark shadow suddenly came to the place of the study at a very fast speed, and then got into it with a familiar way, and the movements were very agile, and did not make a sound.

If you were to be an assassin, it would be difficult for anyone to find out.

After Xu Rong came to the study, he began to quickly inspect all places, looking for mechanisms.

Since Song Yuanshan's death, he has become the number two real power.

After all these days of hard work, he finally determined that the evidence was hidden in this study.

With such a judgment, it does not mean that Shi Xingjie has completely trusted him and told him where the evidence is.

It's about allowing yourself to make judgments after gathering information.

Through Shi Jie's side knock on the side, coupled with the information he heard from the people who stayed behind in the rudder when he moved some time ago, Xu Rong was sure that the target was here.

Moreover, this study is usually not approached, and only Shi Xingjie can come here.

In fact, most of the people in the Wan'an branch are illiterate, and ordinary people will not come here.

What's more, during the day, there are always two people staring here, Xu Rong found these two people before, and then learned from them that it was Shi Xingjie who arranged for them to monitor the study not far away when they were usually fine.

Such a strict guard, as well as this practice of not having three hundred taels of silver here, made Xu Rong sure that this was the place.

After all, in the entire rudder, what Shi Jie could hide evidence was nothing more than the study, as well as his own room.

It's just that maybe he wasn't the helmsman before, so the evidence is hidden here.

Xu Rong kept groping in the study, very cautious.

It's the second night.

Because I didn't dare to make a sound, and I had to take advantage of everyone's sleep, I was able to start the investigation, and there were only two or three hours in between, and the progress was really not fast.

Click!

With a crisp sound, Xu Rong was first startled, and then rejoiced.

He was checking a decorated vase on the bookshelf, and it didn't occur to him that it was a mechanism.

He moved the vase, and there was a sound of machine reinforcement, and the bookshelf moved to the side, and then a hole opened in the wall behind it.

Xu Rong hurriedly stepped forward to check and took out a few books, but he didn't check them, and directly stuffed them into his arms.

What can be hidden here, even if it is not evidence, is an extremely important thing, the previous machine sound caused some movement, he needs to leave as soon as possible, so that no one will come to check, then he will become a turtle in the urn.

Quickly restore the place, allowing the door to open the door with agility, and then melt into the shadows.

After going around, Xu Rong entered his room through the window that had been set aside before.

Coming to the corner and taking out the fire fold, Xu Rong quickly took out the book in his arms and looked through it, and found that it was indeed evidence.

There are not only the account books smuggled by the county commander Mei Sheng and the county prince Sun Jing, but also the Dong family and the Ma family.

And there are also records of the Dong family and the Ma family, and even other wealthy merchants and gentry giving gifts to the county order and the county gentry.

"I don't know how they got this evidence?"

This kind of evidence is absolutely extremely secretive, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to access it, but the White Lotus Sect can actually get it, maybe the high-level officials of the county government have already mixed in with the spies of the White Lotus Sect.

Shaking his head, Xu Rong closed the fire fold.

Although he hid in a corner, trying not to let the fire shine through the doors and windows for anyone outside to notice, it should not be too long to avoid being discovered.

Next, he needs to find a chance to leave the rudder, and then hand over the evidence to Iron Eagle, and this matter is done.

As for why he didn't leave to find Iron Eagle now, he naturally didn't want to startle the snake.

If Shi Shijie finds out that he has disappeared inexplicably, he will definitely be suspicious, and when he finds that the evidence is gone, he will definitely understand what is going on.

After that, the county government will definitely be notified, and in the face of the possibility that the whole family will be beheaded, and even the guilt of the three clans, can Mei Sheng and Gongsun Jing not be crazy?

Even the Dong family and the Ma family are crazy.

How dangerous are they when they are still in the city?

Moreover, Wan'an City can be under the control of these people, and when the time comes, it will directly rise up, which will cause huge turmoil.

With his personal experience for more than a year, coupled with what he has seen and heard, Xu Rong is very sure that many ordinary people are in dire straits, and they can't see the slightest hope.

Selling children for a little food is just a normal behavior, and there are even those who sell themselves to large families as slaves.

If you go further, I am afraid that Yizi and Eat are not just a few lines in the history books, but happen in reality.

Over the years, there have been more and more thieves, because many people can't survive, so they can only do this knife licking blood.

If someone raises their arms at this time, then in order to survive, many people will definitely respond.

They don't care if it's a rebellion or not, they just need a chance to live.

Once such a situation happens, what is the use of the evidence that Xu Rong has worked so hard to gather?

So all we have to do now is to send the evidence out as if it didn't happen.

When Tie Ying led people to strike a thunderbolt and arrested all the county orders and county officials, as for the Dong family and the Ma family, Xu Rong didn't know what their ending was.

Maybe they will be arrested together, or they may be opened, it depends on what the county guard thinks.

And until then, Xu Rong needs to stay here.

Hiding the evidence under the futon, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to sleep, when suddenly a small voice came.

"Brother Xu, have you slept?"

Wang Mugen's voice came from outside the door, which made Xu Rong startled instantly, and his whole hair stood upside down.

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

The reason why Wang Mugen came to me at this time must have found that I hadn't slept, and as for how much he knows, he still needs to find out. ’

Thinking of this, Xu Rong tried his best to calm down, took off the clothes outside, and there was only one underwear left, and then he walked to the door.

"Who?"

When I opened the door, a dark shadow that looked a little blurry appeared in the doorway because of the night.

"It's me, Wang Mugen."

Xu Rong's voice was a little surprised: "Brother Wang, why don't you sleep at this time?" ”
