"My lord, who was the adult just now?" After Meng Changsheng left, Xu Dahu slowly walked to Lin Qitong's side and asked in a low voice, wanting to find out Meng Changsheng's identity, Lin Qitong glanced at Xu Dahu: "It shouldn't be what you asked, don't ask more, don't you understand this?"

Lin Qitong is not a stupid person, after a long time in officialdom, which one is not a human spirit, he looked at Xu Dahu lightly, listening to Lin Qitong's words, Xu Dahu immediately felt a beat in his heart, and quickly said that his subordinates were guilty and retreated, Lin Qitong didn't say anything when he saw this, as if nothing had happened, he saw the direction of Meng Changsheng's disappearance, and ordered everyone to move silver.

Xu Dahu and Fang Wushu in the rear glanced at each other tacitly, and they both had words in their hearts, but they both knew that this was not the place to speak, so they immediately made a promise, and led a group of officials to step forward and pick up the silver that was placed on the ground.

After retrieving the silver, everyone did not delay much in the same place, and soon left this place and headed towards Hangzhou.

After the "father-in-law" returned to Hangzhou City and put the recovered silver back into the silver warehouse, Xu Dahu and Fang Wuxian also left, just leaving the warehouse, seeing that there was no one on the road, Fang Wuxian couldn't help but look at Xu Dahu and asked, "?... the adult just now?"

"I don't know, judging from the situation just now, this adult's identity is transcendent, and his strength and status are not idle, but in Hangzhou, I have never heard of such an adult. Xu Dahu said, the light in his eyes flickering.

When Fang Wuzhi heard this, his heart moved, and he said: "That righteous father thinks that if we tell this lord about the embezzlement of official silver, will this lord be..."

"Shhh Fang Wude's words fell, but he was immediately interrupted by Xu Dahu, his eyes glanced around vigilantly, and the solemn other party said without shame: "Let's talk about it when I go home." ”

Fang Wushu was also shocked when he heard this, knowing that he had been a little reckless just now, he and Xu Dahu's investigation of the corruption of official silver was like walking on thin ice, if there was even a mistake, it would be a catastrophe, if his words just now were heard by someone with a heart, it would definitely be a fatal disaster.

Both of them were silent for an instant, glanced around vigilantly, and then left in a hurry.

At the same time, on the other side, Lin Qitong also returned to the county guard's mansion, but he didn't fall asleep for the first time, returned to the study, lit the oil lamp, and fell into deep thought: "Xu Dahu, I hope I think too much, otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking about your subordinates for many years..."

Lin Qitong is also a vigilant and abnormal person, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is not an upright and honest official, he has long been like a fox, Xu Dahu and Fang Wushu have been investigating the corruption of officials and silver, and found Lin Qitong, although they are secretive, but Lin Qitong is also a little vigilant these days.

And he felt it keenly, Xu Dahu had a mind about Meng Changsheng, Xu Dahu may not know the specific identity of Meng Changsheng, but Lin Qitong is very clear, if Xu Dahu really comes into contact with Meng Changsheng and even pulls Meng Changsheng as a backer, it will definitely be a catastrophe for him.

However, he is still not sure whether Xu Dahu and Fang Wuxian are really investigating him, these need to be verified, and Xu Dahu has been following him to work under him for more than ten years, although he is not a good friend, but the relationship is still good, and Lin Qitong has always regarded Xu Dahu as a good subordinate.

Deep down, he didn't want to kill Xu Dahu very much.

"Dad!" Lin Yuefu's voice sounded, wearing a white dress, and walked in slowly, Lin Qitong turned to look at Lin Yuefu: "Why haven't you rested so late." ”

Fu'er heard from the maid that her father had gone out in a hurry before, and she couldn't sleep, so she heard that her father was back, so she came to see him. Lin Yuefu said.

"You have a heart. Lin Qitong's expression eased when he heard this, a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Okay, Dad is fine, the matter has been resolved, you can go back and rest quickly." ”

"Well, Dad, you should rest early. Lin Yuefu nodded obediently when she heard this, turned around and walked towards the door, but before she turned around and walked a few steps, she turned her head to look at Lin Qitong and couldn't help asking: "Dad went out so late tonight, is there anything urgent, but the official silver was stolen..."

Lin Yuefu is more intelligent, knowing that if it weren't for some particularly important things, Lin Qitong should not have to go out in the middle of the night, and immediately thought of the theft of the official silver of the treasury a few days ago, and if Lin Qitong didn't handle this matter well, he would be to blame, and he was likely to be blamed by the imperial court, so he also remembered this matter in his heart.

looked at Lin Qitong, with a trace of worry in his expression, feeling the worry and concern in his eyes, Lin Qitong couldn't help but feel warm.

"Hmm" he bowed his head slightly, and said again when the worry on Lin Yuefu's face deepened: "But it has been solved tonight, and the official silver has been recovered." ”

"Ahh ”

Seeing the surprise on Lin Yuefu's face, Lin Qitong also showed a faint smile on his face, but after looking at it for a while, Lin Qitong's eyes couldn't help but flicker, and he looked at Lin Yuefu and asked, "Yuefu, what do you think of Menggongzi?"

"Ah, Dream Boy" Lin Yuefu was stunned again, looking at Lin Qitong, but then reacted, her face turned red, and she said shyly: "Dad, what are you talking about?

"It's the one from Hangzhou Academy.,The dream boy who won the first place in the poetry and literature meeting last time.,Why,You asked your father about the news of other people.,It's only been a few days.,I forgot about them.。 ”

Looking at Lin Yuefujiao's appearance of pretending not to know, Lin Qitong deliberately reminded.

Lin Yuefu's face turned even redder, and she said shyly: "Dad, what are you talking about, people and Meng Gongzi are only one side, how can you suddenly ask such a question?" Lin Yuefu was extremely shy, and after saying that, her face was already dripping red.

Seeing Lin Yuefu's shy appearance, Lin Qitong couldn't see Lin Yuefu's thoughts, even if he didn't like Meng Changsheng, he definitely had some good feelings, this was not the purpose of his question, just to test Lin Yuefu's reaction to Meng Changsheng, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's Daddy's abruptness, so after a while, Daddy will invite Menggongzi to let you get to know each other?"

said it, but there was a smile on her face, but Lin Yuefu was embarrassed.

"Dad, I'll ignore you!"

In the end, leaving a sentence, Lin Yuefu trotted out directly, looking at the back of Lin Yuefu running out, the smile on Lin Qitong's face was also slowly proficient, but the smile in his eyes did not decay much, Lin Yuefu was not disgusted with Meng Changsheng, and it seemed that he still had a good impression, for him, this was undoubtedly good news.

Meng Changsheng's status is transcendent, he has strength and status, if Lin Yuefu can really marry Meng Changsheng's woman who is a dream Changsheng, it will definitely be a stable backer for him, and now for him, what he lacks the most is undoubtedly a strong and stable backer.

And what kind of backer can compare to his son-in-law.

Lin Qitong's eyes deepened, he knew very well that although he was now a county guard, in the eyes of others, he was a high authority, but he himself knew very well that in front of the real big man, he was just a discardable pawn, especially in the current stormy situation of the Wu Dynasty, if you want to protect yourself or even climb higher, the best way is to find a strong and more reliable backer.

Although the person he is now taking refuge in behind him is also powerful, he knows that the other party is just a dispensable chess piece that can be discarded at any time, and there is no security guarantee at all, especially when he feels that Xu Dahu and Fang Wushi are investigating him, this sense of crisis is even more urgent.

So, for him, the main thing now is to find a reliable backer.

And Dream Changsheng has undoubtedly become one of his goals.
