"The landlord, subordinate to the prefect's yamen, the doorman said that the prefect was not there."

was leading everyone in the building to search for You Qingyun and their landlord, and when they heard the advice of their subordinates, their anxious expressions suddenly increased a little anger.

"You keep searching, and if you can't find it, you don't have to come back."

The landlord roared a few times, then rode to the prefect's mansion, and greeted him thousands of times in his heart, if this account book flows into the imperial court, the network he has built over the years, as well as the family business they have worked hard for will be in vain.

The prefect's government is located at the east gate of the city, while the Metropolitan Protectorate is mainly responsible for the affairs of the Xiliang border pass, and the prefect is responsible for the city, and the two are clearly distinguished, and do not interfere in each other's internal affairs.

Mu Yu'an also suspected that the prefect colluded with unknown forces to pervert the law, but because there was no evidence, and he often prevented the Xiongnu from robbing the village chiefs of the border people, and the court sent people to investigate but there was no result, so he had to give up. And after You Qingyun's stirring, Qianyinlou was completely panicked, and the owner of the building rode a horse to the prefect's office, regardless of the safety of the people on the roadside, rampage, provoked a lot of people's criticism, but no one dared to stop it, knowing that the power of Qianyinlou was huge and deep-rooted.

After a while, the soldiers outside the prefect's government hurriedly ran into the backyard from outside the gate, and the prefect who was enjoying the company of beautiful women and wine at this time gave the prefect a cold eye to the soldier who suddenly broke in and disturbed his interest, and the frightened soldier hurriedly knelt at the door and said:

"The owner of Qianyin Building said that there is an important matter to discuss, and it is related to... It is a matter of the adult's net worth, and the adult and the landlord usually have an old relationship, so the villain does not dare to delay. ”

After hearing this, the prefect pondered a little, and the beauty was not interested in wine, and he didn't care about the begging for mercy of the soldiers, so he drank the beautiful family and drummer in the room with a solemn expression, and eagerly asked the soldiers to invite people in.

"Master Sulou, what happened, why is it still involved in the life of this mansion?"

When the owner of the Qianyin Building walked into the room quickly, he couldn't wait to ask in a deep voice.

"The ledger in the building was stolen today, and there is a record of our cooperation in recent years, Lord Yu is now going to close the city gate, and then we are looking for an excuse to search the side in the name of the government, if it falls into the adult's competitor, then the consequences..."

Hearing this, Yu Zhifu took two steps back, his body jumped tightly in an instant, cold sweat continued, and his head was blank, he knew that the unfinished words of the master of Su Lou were behind, if the account book flowed into Shangjing, then no matter who his backer was, he would not be able to save him, and the three clans of Zhulian...

"Yu, Yu..."

After the lord of Su Lou finished speaking, he looked anxiously at the prefect of Yu, and saw that his face was pale and his body trembled slightly, but he did not give an order, so he waved his hand to wake him up.

"Come on, close the city gate immediately, all the people who go out of the city will be strictly searched, Master Lin, you can understand, this is not suitable for publicity, this time you can only do it in person."

After the prefect Yu solemnly ordered the thin middle-aged man with slightly thin cheekbones and a mustache behind him, the master hurriedly conveyed the order.

……

Ling Restaurant

"Steward Qin, can you excerpt it?"

Since You Qingyun got the account book, he asked Qin Qiang to extract part of the prefect Yu from it, and when he saw him get up, he put down his pen and nodded, and then explained the plan in detail.

"Tieshi, don't go out for the time being, Steward Qin and I will go to the lower capital to protect the mansion."

After You Qingyun finished speaking, he followed Qin Qiang down the attic and got into a carriage, and suddenly Qin Qiang was still carrying a few food boxes in his hand, so he asked curiously:

"Steward Qin, what are you?"

"Now that there are people in the city who are hunting you and the ledger, we will go with the food box, just in case."

You Qingyun looked at Qin Qiang's calm explanation and smiled, if he hadn't reminded him, he would have ignored these small details.

Sure enough, as Qin Qiang said, when the carriage arrived at the intersection of the Duhu Mansion and a few miles away, it encountered a pair of officers and soldiers guarding and checking.

"Stop, everyone gets out of the car and is being checked."

"This is the shopkeeper Qin, who are you? How did I deliver it in person today. ”

The officers and soldiers guarding sternly stopped Qin Qiang's carriage, until another centurion who had a slight identity and was familiar with Qin Qiang saw that Qin Qiang was leaning out, and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

"Lord Yin, what is going on, why is martial law and interrogated today?"

"Mu Shuai ordered some food, I'm afraid that people will be sloppy, so I can't send it down in person."

Qin Qiang pretended not to know, and asked him suspiciously, until the man said the reason lightly, Qin Qiang took out a bag of silver taels from his sleeve and secretly stuffed it to him.

"Lord Yin and his brothers have worked hard, and they came to Ling Restaurant to drink when they are done, I will please."

Qin Qiang's face did not change, he chatted with him generously, and then said a word unhurriedly, and avoided the interrogation under their smiles.

"Shopkeeper Qin is grateful to you today, and I will propose to the pavilion master that you go back to Beijing if I have the chance."

You Qingyun felt more and more that Qin Qiang was a rare talent, and when this incident happened, he must be transferred to Beijing to do things for him.

Metropolitan Protectorate

Qin Qiang's groom drove along the street with a light car, and after a stick of incense, he stopped in front of the gate of the Duhu Mansion, Qin Qiang whispered to the government soldiers, and it didn't take long for the government soldiers who went in to deliver the news to respectfully invite them into the house.

You Qingyun and Qin Qiang followed the footsteps of the government soldiers with food boxes and walked to the backyard step by step, during which they were office officials who came and went, maintaining all the chores of the defense of Xiliangguan.

"Mu Shuai, the guest has arrived."

It didn't take long for several people to stop in front of the door of a main room, and after answering inside, You Qingyun and the two walked into the room under the door pushed by the government soldiers.

"Old Yu, Sister Yu'an, I'm here, and I'm also sending you a big gift."

As soon as You Qingyun stepped into the room, he first saw Lao Yu and then turned around and saw Mu Yu'an in the inner room, who had not seen him for many days, for these two relatives, You Qingyun cherished them very much, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Qingyun, what a surprise? You're also fooling around, risking your own life, just in case..."

When Mu Yu'an saw him with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be a little worried, got up from the bed and handed a few white eyes to You Qingyun as he walked.

"Lao Yu, Sister Yu'an, I'm fine, come on, this is the account book of Qianyinlou, which records all the money exchanges with the prefect and the soldiers in Lichuan City, and even other forces are involved."

You Qingyun looked at the two of them excitedly while flipping through the account book and said, Mu Yu'an looked at him in surprise, and asked suspiciously:

"How did you get it?"

You Qingyun met Mu Yu'an's eyes, and didn't dare to talk nonsense, he told them how they got it, and when he heard that they were evacuated safely in the end, he slowly put his mind at ease.

"Yes, Qingyun, don't be silent next time, do such a dangerous thing, the premise is that you have the ability to protect yourself."

You Qingyun smiled, a warm current was born in his heart, and then he smiled mysteriously.

"We have this ledger in hand, and then we will only lead the snake out of the hole, and then catch the turtle in the urn, so that Sister Yu'an, you will have a lot less worries."

"Qingyun's idea is good, even if you use the blood of the iron horse to wash the officialdom of the entire Lechuan City with Yu'an, you will be forgivable."

When Lao Yu heard You Qingyun's words, his cloudy eyes shot a sharp light.

The three of them sat around a round table, and under the flickering lights, discussed the details of the specific action.

Three days later

"Master Yu, you sit down and rest for a while, I get dizzy."

Yu Zhifu was pacing back and forth in the room in the palace, the two of them were already controlling the whole city, and the passers-by were closely checking, but unfortunately this account book was still missing, and the two of them could not sleep well.

In the middle of the night, when the two of them collapsed on the table and fell asleep, they were awakened by the jingling of an arrow fixed on the wooden door.

Yu Zhifu straightened up violently and squatted under the table, while the master of Su Lou walked to the door boldly, looked left and right, and looked up to see the arrow feather nailed to the wooden door, and a small paper ball was tied to it.

"The ledger is in the Metropolitan Protectorate."

The owner of the Su Mansion opened the paper ball and wrote these words on it.

"Lord Yu, look, the arrow just now was the person you arranged in the Metropolitan Protectorate?"

The lord of the Su Mansion turned around and walked into the room, handing the note to the prefect of Yu, with a look of joy and worry. As long as you determine who you are, you can get it back, but the worry is that Mu Yu'an is not an ordinary person, and it is too difficult to sneak into the house to find the account book.

"That's right, I deliberately made the last handwriting of the above word different from the other words, so as to make it easier to confirm the authenticity."

Yu Zhifu's eyes lit up, he exhaled a long breath, turned his head and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"Before Mu Yu'an takes action, we will strike first, you immediately arrange the people over there, let the Huns pretend to gather troops to attack Xiliangguan to contain Mu Yu'an, and then we will raid the capital to protect the mansion, such an important thing is very likely to be hidden in that place in the mansion."

When the owner of Su Lou heard this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

……

"The news has been sent out again in the internal line arranged by the prefect, although I don't know how they will contain me at that time, but the biggest possibility is that they will attack my capital at night."

Since Mu Yu'an decided on the plan, he dug up the traitor arranged by the prefect, in fact, he had already found out, but he would use it to pass on a fake news in the future, but he didn't expect to use it today.

Three days later

"They are really bold, not only colluding with officials and businessmen, corrupting the law, but also secretly colluding with the Huns, this time they must be wiped out."

Mu Yu'an stood outside the door with angry eyes, and he didn't ease up for a while, but he didn't expect them to let the Huns start a war in order to contain themselves.

"Sister Yu'an, our stage has been set up, and when we take down these scum, you can get angry as much as you want."

You Qingyun and Lao Yu have been staying in the Metropolitan Protectorate these days, and they are constantly refining the details in order for the plan to go smoothly.

"The Hun forces are now gathering under Xiliang Pass, and it's time for us to play."

Lao Yu was also resentful of what happened in Ma'anshan that day, and he couldn't help but be a little excited when he thought of the next plan.
