Xiao Yuehuai hooked the corners of her lips: "It's really worthy of you, you can guess my thoughts." ”

"The root cause of Qin Ge Lao's case actually lies in the loss of silver in the Qingzhou flood. If your father had not been imprisoned pending trial for this case, and all the officials of the Qin family in the court had been dismissed, the wicked would have no chance to take advantage of it. Conversely... If it weren't for the crime of corruption, how could no one care about the money that had disappeared? ”

"Someone wants to use the Qin family's crime of corruption to cover up the whereabouts of the money, and frame the case on the Qin Pavilion elder, so that the world will think that your grandfather and your father secretly devised a clever plan to embezzle the money."

"When your clan collapses, the people behind the scenes will be able to intercept 300,000 taels of silver without knowing it... And Kang Rongqi can replace your father to sit firmly in the position of the head of the household, and Min Wutuno can also use the skill of copying to rise to the top, this move can win the support of the two Shangshu, and his intentions are indescribable. ”

Qin E: "Are you saying that there may be a higher pusher behind this Kang Rongqi and Min Wudu?" ”

Xiao Yuehuai did not deny it.

Qin E stared at her, and suddenly felt a little chilling. She inexplicably felt that the little girl in front of her had changed a lot compared to before, and she was restrained and ruthless, which made people fearful.

"Ah Huai, I've always wanted to ask, how did you get the evidence in this wooden box? And also... Why do you understand Kang Rongqi and Min's unprovoked actions so thoroughly? You didn't like the affairs of the court before, and you didn't care much about these bureaucrats. How does this look like a different person? ”

Xiao Yuehuai lowered her eyes, listened to her question, and smiled bitterly unconsciously.

How did she not know? In her last life, before the Great Zhou Dynasty broke the country, she felt that the Lu family was sharp and arrogant in the government and the opposition, and she must have many dirty and dirty cases in her hands.

Therefore, she did a lot of investigations in private, but because she had no power, she could not find tangible evidence, and she was placed under house arrest by Lu Pingsheng, so she could only rely on her own speculation to speculate on these old cases.

Before she became a military prostitute, she worked as a laborer in the Jingting Court of the Zhou Palace for a period of time.

There was a strategist who was born and died with Lu Pingsheng, but was abandoned and betrayed by him. This person was originally a bargaining chip used by Emperor Yu to blackmail Lu Pingsheng into succumbing to him, and he inadvertently met her, and told his past because he hated the Lu family.

Only then did she realize that none of her inferences back then were accurate.

The many drastic changes in the Great Zhou Dynasty are inextricably linked to the Lu family.

The Lu father and son stirred up the situation, in order to stabilize the family power and consolidate the position of the head of the family, they eradicated dissidents everywhere, solved obstacles at any cost, and committed a lot of blood debts.

She was silent for a long time, looked up at Qin E, and finally suppressed the tumbling thoughts in her heart and didn't say it explicitly.

Lu Pingsheng is thoughtful, scheming, and never leaves a handle in his actions. Even if Qin Ge Lao's case can bring down Kang Rongqi and Min Wutuan together, I am afraid it will be difficult to climb to the Lu family.

She has no conclusive evidence of the Lu family's crimes, and she has no power for the time being, and she can't protect others, so saying it will only make the Qin family more troubled.

This difficult road of revenge is like a grasshopper shaking a tree, and it is enough for her to have herself, so there is no need to be implicated.

So she replied calmly: "There is such a big thing in the Qin family, even if I ignore the affairs of the court, I should do something." You are my dear friend, and I will never let such a tragic thing happen to you. ”

Xiao Yuehuai went over, but did not explain that the wooden box was something she got by accident, and she also omitted some explanation.

Qin E trusted her very much, and she didn't care so much about her, so after a few words, she really didn't ask anymore, but was moved, and said with red eyes: "Okay, Ah Huai, I have written down your life-saving grace to the Qin Mansion." ”

Xiao Yuehuai said softly——

"Don't talk about that between you and me. If the whereabouts of the silver can be traced, the person who framed the Qin family can be uprooted. Therefore, we must do this, and you must do it yourself, so that your father can spare you for the crime of escaping. ”

Qin E: "But this matter is not easy to do. I'm on the wanted list, how can I escape from Jinling without a place to go to the land of the flood to investigate the matter? ”

Xiao Yuehuai: "You don't need to leave Beijing. The disaster relief silver should be in the abandoned silver mine in Zhuying Mountain, on the outskirts of Jinling. ”

Qin E was stunned, and felt more and more unable to see through her: "How do you know?" ”

"I guess. But nine times out of ten, you can't go wrong. ”

This matter was indeed her speculation, but she had had this idea in her previous life.

The prisoners of the Jingting Court did not explain exactly how the relief money had rightfully ended up in the hands of the Lu family and his son, but it was mentioned that Lu Pingsheng used some of the silver to buy a Zhuangzi for raising dead soldiers.

This batch of silver has an official seal, and if it wants to circulate between the markets, it must find a place to re-melt it into broken silver, otherwise the Lu family will not dare to take it for their own use. The abandoned silver mines of Zhuying Mountain are the best hiding places.

She thought so in her heart, but she didn't explain too much: "If you want to remelt and recast 300,000 taels of silver, you must choose a silver refining place that is not on the official register." Qingzhou has destroyed many houses and farms due to the Huai Flood and floods, and there is no place to hide silver. ”

"Jinling survived, so it was naturally the best choice."

Qin E said thoughtfully: "Okay... I'll leave it to me to track down the money. Here in Kangfu, you are careful. ”

A day flies.

In a snap of a finger, it came the night that Xiao Yuehuai and Yue Ziru agreed.

Night. The lights on Beijing Street were dim, and the watchman banged the gong and shouted: "The weather is dry, be careful of the candles." ”

The light in the alley was faint, and there was a faint sound of insects and birds.

Xiao Yuehuai hid in the pile of goods near the Songshui wharf, staring at the movement of the port. The manpower of Dali Temple has been buried around, waiting for the opportunity to move. On the cargo ship docked, seven or eight guys were busy inside and out, as if they were waiting for time.

After about half a quiet hour, the footsteps of Suosuo were finally heard on the street next to the wharf.

A group of men and horses dragged their suits and sneaked out of the street and walked close to the side of the street, for fear of being discovered by the officers and soldiers patrolling the city. They rushed to the ship anchored in the harbor in a panic, and as soon as they stepped on the ship's plank, they rushed into the cabin.

The officials of Dali Temple, who were hiding on the shore, pinched the opportunity and quietly followed, and while the cargo ship had not yet set sail, a surge of strength rushed in, surrounding the people inside.

Xiao Yuehuai clenched her hands, her palms broke out in a cold sweat, and she stared intently.

I saw that the cargo ship shook violently a few times, and then there was a sound of smashing cups and bowls, mixed with the cold sound of swords clashing, and it seemed that a fierce struggle had started.

When the cargo ship calmed down again, a group of big men with blue noses and swollen eyes were tied up by the officials with their backhands and pushed off the shore with kicks and blows. More than a dozen people stood on the edge of the dock, waiting for the young man on the deck to get off the boat.

Xiao Yuehuai looked at it from a distance, and saw his cousin, Yue Muze, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, standing on the boat, talking to the boatman of the cargo ship, with a smile on his face, and only patted his sleeve and jumped off after a long time.

Yue Muze gave a few words to the people under his hand, and the officials escorted the group of big men to leave in the direction of Dali Temple.

Before Xiao Yuehuai could understand what was going on, she saw her cousin walking towards her with a knife in one hand and a waist in the other.
