At dawn, Liu Banxian finally rushed back to the town with a large group of soldiers.

Walking into the Zhu family's mansion, there was only one person left waiting for him.

As soon as they met, Liu Banxian couldn't wait to ask, "Where are Ye Gongzi and them now?"

Hua Wuxian smiled and said, "You came back late, and they have already left." ”

"Ah, what's going on here?" Liu Banxian was puzzled, he had just left for a day and a night, and when he came back, all the shops in the town were closed, and now even Ye Feng and the others had left.

He was anxious to find out what had happened here that day and night.

Hua Wuxian was still so unhurriedly told Liu Banxian what happened here last night.

As for the previous situation of fighting with Ye Feng in the small building, how he was injured in Ye Feng's hand, Hua Wuxian was not present, so he didn't know.

Even without this paragraph, these things that happened in the Zhu family's mansion last night were enough to make Liu Banxian's heart skip a beat.

In the Zhu family's mansion, this Zhu Dashan man, who was admired by everyone, turned out to be the most famous killer on the rivers and lakes 20 years ago? This is a figure that the Criminal Department has been tracking down for a long time, and there are many bloody cases, but unfortunately, he disappeared 20 years ago.

I thought that this person was dead, but who would have thought that he would hide in such an inconspicuous town, and also be involved in this big case of illegal gold mining.

Fortunately, he is also dead now, and he can be regarded as full of evil, and Liu Banxian can finally give an explanation to the Criminal Department.

It's a pity that Ye Feng, who contributed the most in this case, has already left, so they don't say goodbye, and even Liu Banxian can't even say a word of thanks.

He asked a little unwillingly, "Didn't they leave anything behind when they left?"

Hua Wuxian shook his head and said, "They just ask Brother Liu, you must take good care of these children here and find a proper place for them." lest they lose their support again, wander the rivers and lakes again, and suffer from hunger and cold. ”

Liu Banxian nodded again and again and said: "This is natural, the placement of these poor orphans is the unshirkable responsibility of the government, and there is no need to advise." ”

However, Ye Feng and the others just let Hua relay without mistakes, so that he didn't even have a chance to say thanks, which made him sigh regretfully: "If only Ye Gongzi and they could wait for me to come, they sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives for this case, and made great efforts, I must ask the court for credit for them when I go back." ”

Hua Wuxian on the side snorted lightly and said, "I think it's the best choice for them to leave like this, it's best for them and for you." ”

Liu Banxian asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?"

Hua Wuxian smiled faintly and said: "Brother Liu, imagine that the poisonous snake among them is one of the most famous killers in the rivers and lakes today, with many murders on his back; ”

"As for that Ye Gongzi, it was rumored that he had died in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, not only the forces in the rivers and lakes, but it was said that even the imperial court was doing everything possible to track down his whereabouts. When three people like this meet you, Brother Liu, and you have a background in the Criminal Department, do you arrest them or not? In such a situation, how can you talk about asking the court for merit for them?"

Liu Banxian was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this was indeed the case.

Anyway, they also helped themselves, and it is really difficult to catch them. But if you want to release them, you are obviously a member of the Criminal Department, and it is really against the laws of the court to do so.

Such a dilemma, maybe he

Saying goodbye like this is the best result.

At this point, it was useless to think about it, Liu Banxian thought about it, and asked Hua Wuxian: "Just now you said that they mentioned in their conversation last night that there is still an account book hidden in this Zhu family's mansion, which records the names of officials who accept bribes from the DPRK and China?"

Hua Wuxian nodded: "That's true, and according to the meaning of their words, it should be hidden in the secret room under the ghost sorrowful bedroom." ”

Liu Banxian suddenly came to his senses again: "No matter what, we must find this account book, this is an extremely important evidence for these corrupt officials!"

He immediately hurriedly ordered his sergeants to search the master bedroom where the ghost was living, and Hua Wuxian looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh softly, and followed a little helplessly.

The master bedroom was not large, and after a carpet search by the sergeants, they finally found the secret room.

There were five large chests hidden in the secret room, full of gold, silver and jewelry, which could be worth more than 100,000 taels of silver, such a large fortune, and the eyes of those sergeants were a little straightened.

After seizing so much stolen silver, Liu Banxian was naturally very happy, and his mouth was about to close with a smile, but Hua Wuxian frowned.

What a cunning man is the devil? He has been here incognito for 20 years, and has been mining gold mines, and if he has gained only a hundred thousand taels of silver in front of him, it is a little too little.

Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, it seems that there must be other hidden places where this ghost sees sorrow hiding other stolen silver, and these are just the tip of the iceberg.

Hua Wuxian wanted to remind Liu Banxian, but seeing his elated and triumphant appearance, he swallowed his words back.

After all, now that the ghost is dead, where is the remaining stolen silver, I am afraid that it will also be buried in the loess with him, and it will become an eternal secret.

In addition to these five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, Liu Banxian really found an account book in the secret room, which was densely filled with names and amounts, and it seemed that it must be the account book that the ghost had mentioned.

He held this account book, stood beside the fire candle like a treasure, and looked at it carefully, imagining in his mind what great achievements he would make after bringing this account book back to the capital, and what kind of splendid glory he would have in the future, and a look of infinite fascination appeared on his face.

Hua Wuxian looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Seeing that the sergeants were carrying the big boxes and had already walked out of the secret room, Hua Wuxian stepped forward and asked Liu Banxian, "This is the account book that records the names of those corrupt officials?"

Liu Banxian nodded, with a happy face.

Hua Wuxian asked, "Can you lend me a look?"

Liu Banxian was stunned for a moment, but still handed him the account book.

For Hua Wuxian, although the friendship between them is not too deep, Hua Wuxian has always been quite chivalrous in the rivers and lakes, otherwise he would not have asked Hua Wuxian to come to the town to help Ye Feng and them when they met halfway.

And Hua Wuxian agreed to just because of his own request, and came here without fear of danger, which shows that he is also a true chivalrous man who values his promises.

What else is there to worry about such a person?

Therefore, Liu Banxian still has great trust in Hua Wuyi.

However, Hua Wuxian took the account book, and after flipping through a few pages, he suddenly stretched out his hand and put the account book on the candle flame and lit it.

Liu Banxian was shocked, and while he wanted to step forward to snatch it, he exclaimed, "You, what are you doing?"

Hua Wuxian did not answer, and floated away until the account book was almost completely reduced to ashes, and then it was gently thrown to the ground.

Liu Banxian looked at the ashes on the ground, as if he saw that his brilliant future was also burned

With a face full of regret, he asked angrily, "You, why are you doing this?"

Hua Wuxian smiled faintly and said indifferently: "I'm saving you." ”

"Help me?" Liu Banxian didn't understand.

Hua Wuxian sighed softly and said: "The list involved in this account book includes almost half of the officials above the court today, so many people, are you really going to hand it over?"

Liu Banxian was stunned.

Hua Wuxian continued: "Once this account book is revealed to the world, so many people, not only will their futures be ruined, but it is even very likely that most of them will fall to the ground. At such a life-and-death juncture, do you think they will sit idly by? I expect that your road back to the capital must be extremely dangerous and murderous, and they will definitely get rid of you as soon as possible. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you are lucky enough to return to the capital with the account books, what will you do? With your class, it is impossible to see the emperor directly, so you can only hand it over to the Criminal Department. And what will happen to this account book in the hands of the Criminal Department?"

"I heard that the old man Zheng Cizheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a person who has always acted cautiously and carefully, and you called this account book in his hand, which is tantamount to stuffing him with a hot coal, how should he deal with it? If he doesn't pay it, it will be difficult for this matter not to leak out, and he has committed the crime of defrauding the king again. The old man is old, but you have given him such a problem, how can he be embarrassed?"

Liu Banxian was stunned, Boss Zheng has always been a model in his heart, and naturally he is unwilling to make the boss so embarrassed.

Hua Wuxian smiled and said: "Besides, even if this account book is finally handed over to the emperor, do you think the emperor will really follow this list and punish those corrupt officials who accept bribes one by one?"

"There are too many officials involved in this, if all of them are killed, so many vacancies need to be filled, even if so many people can be found to fill the vacancies in a moment, they will need a period of time to adapt, which will definitely cause a delay in the operation of the imperial court. ”

"What's more, there are so many vacancies, I don't know how many people will stare at these positions, sharpen their heads and want to drill up, which will inevitably cause another open and secret battle in the imperial court, causing a chaotic situation. Do you think the emperor wants to see this?"

Hua Wuqian finally sighed: "Therefore, this matter is likely to end in the end, and the so-called law does not blame the public, which is what it means." And you, as a direct participant in all this, whether it is the emperor's anger or the silence, your end will definitely not be too good. ”

He said slowly, word by word: "Therefore, do you see that I did this, did I save you?"

Hearing this, the beads of sweat on Liu Banxian's forehead trickled down, and he really hadn't considered these issues at all before.

Before he could react, Hua Wuxian gave him a deep salute and said, "Okay, since it has been done here, Hua has other things, so I will leave." ”

Liu Banxian was just said by his words as if he was enlightened, and he was about to ask for more advice, but he didn't expect him to say goodbye, just wanted to stay, Hua Wuxian had already walked out of the secret room and drifted away, leaving him alone in a daze facing the ashes left on the ground.

Walking out of the secret room, Hua Wuxian hurried away.

For Liu Banxian, he originally thought that this person was a good man who dedicated himself to justice and justice.

I don't know why, after the scene just now, he was suddenly full of disappointment with this person.

At least, he wasn't smart, he was too far behind Ye Feng last night.

Ye Feng, Hua Wuxian couldn't help but think leisurely, where are you at this time?
