After Xia Yuanji was lured away by Ji Changan on trumped-up charges, Fang Zhongjin quietly jumped into the house.

Now that Xia Yuanji himself has been detained, he can't come back without an hour.

Fang Zhongjin had a lot of time to check the books that Xia Yuanji was flipping through.

He first gathered the book in front of him and looked at it carefully. This is an account book that records the expenses of the officials over the years.

The pages are yellowed, and the inky blue cover is covered with dust, and it looks extremely ordinary.

However, Fang Zhongjin noticed that there was something unusual about the rope that wore the book, and a small piece of white would be exposed at the end of the thread that was exposed.

It is said that this thread has been worn very carefully, if it weren't for Fang Zhongjin's attention, not many people would have noticed that little piece of white.

But this clue proves that the book that Xia Yuanji is looking at has been re-crossed. Xingduo sandwiched a few pages, and the book became thicker.

So the threads that used to be exposed were still dark yellow, but the small white threads that had not been worn in the books were exposed because the books were thickened.

"Could it be that someone has mixed some forged names in the account books?" Fang Zhongjin first thought of this.

But when he opened the account book himself, the names in the account book were clear.

If there are forgeries in it, the totals on the last page must be wrong.

Fang Zhongjin flipped through the pages and secretly added and subtracted in his heart. Until the last page, the sum of all the expenses and payouts is accurate.

If someone commits fraud, unless the original account book is replaced. But apparently the book is genuine, just a few extra pages.

Fang Zhongjin flipped again. If there's a humble album that can be added later, it's a piece of paper between each month.

There are some auspicious patterns drawn on this paper, which are just used to separate the records of each month and make the account book look more distinct.

Many books add these patterns, so they don't raise suspicions.

Fang Zhongjin looked at these patterns and didn't see anything unusual. It's just a cloud brocade pattern printed on some stereotypes. It looks like Tai Chi and it seems to be a red sun.

Fang Zhongjin looked at each illustration carefully, but still couldn't find anything weird.

He felt anxious in his heart, and unknowingly wasted several days of work on Xia Yuanji, and so far he had not obtained any useful clues.

Fang Zhongjin wasn't even sure if his guess was correct, whether Xia Yuanji was really the target of the Inhuman Pavilion.

Seeing that he promised Zhu Di to find out the truth about the person behind the scenes within two months, there is still no clue at all.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside, apparently Xia Yuanji had returned.

Previously, Fang Zhongjin told Ji Changan to delay Xia Yuanji as long as possible, but Ji Changan obviously failed to do it.

Xia Yuanji came back so soon, Fang Zhongjin couldn't continue to check, and simply didn't stay on the eaves to continue monitoring, but quietly left the back warehouse from the eaves, and ran towards the Jinyi Guard Yamen on the eaves.

When he strode into the gate of the Jinyi Guard with a solemn face, whether it was the small flag of the lower level or the middle-level guard officer saw him, they were like ghosts, and their faces involuntarily flowed with fear.

Fang Zhongjin, as a ruthless man who cut off his boss's arm with a sword, how could he not be feared?

With a "bump-" sound, the carved wooden door was pushed open, and he strode into the office hall where he was.

Ji Chang'an was already sitting in the room, and when he heard the sound, he saw that Fang Zhongjin was taken aback, and said, "Isn't there any clue? This is an extremely difficult thing to do, you should be calm first." ”

Fang Zhongjin sat down without saying a word, and ignored Ji Chang'an's questioning.

Suddenly, someone at the door sneakily probed his brain.

Fang Zhongjin casually picked up a brush and threw it in the direction of the figure.

You must know that Fang Zhongjin's internal force has rarely met opponents in the world, and he didn't have any strength when he threw this brush, and he simply flew out at a speed that could not be pursued by the naked eye.

And the man who probed at the door was obviously certain to die!

This time, even Ji Changan opened his mouth wide in surprise. It was too sudden for any thought to turn into his head.

As soon as Fang Zhongjin threw the brush, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck in his mind.

In this intolerable time, Fang Zhongjin had no time to save it, and a strong wind caused by internal force slashed towards the tube of brushes.

There was a crisp "click", and the brush was split in two out of thin air. Under the traction of internal forces, it collided with the two corners of the house.

Then there were two sounds, "pop-", "pop-", and the two truncated brushes slammed into the wall and the bookcase respectively, and smashed two holes.

Except for Fang Zhongjin's luck in the room, the other two were stunned and couldn't say a word.

Ji Changan knew that Fang Zhongjin's martial arts were much higher than his own, but he never dreamed that someone could control his internal force so freely.

Although the first brush is powerful, it is not the most strange, and the internal force of the second hair actually split the first brush in two at the snap of his fingers.

Is this still human!

And Lu Zhenyuan, who stayed at the door, was even more frightened. He could feel his pants getting wet. I lived to be in my thirties and was scared to pee my pants, so I must hide it and not let anyone know.

Although he saved a life, Lu Zhenyuan guessed that his probe may have angered his boss Fang Zhongjin.

He didn't pay attention to any man who had gold under his knees, and as soon as his knees were weak, he knelt down, and said with his teeth chattering: "Down...... Xia Guan is not deliberately inquiring. It's just that...... It's just that ...... "exactly" and "just" what, he can't count after all.

Fang Zhongjin took a deep breath, and the layer of anger that had appeared on his face from the moment he entered the door seemed to have disappeared.

He waved to Lu Zhenyuan and said, "Go and change your pants." The door doesn't need to be closed, and the smell is dispersed. ”

Lu Zhenyuan blushed with an old face, his knees still did not regain his strength, and he left in a hurry.

Ji Chang'an, who turned around from surprise, turned his head and asked Fang Zhongjin, "What's wrong with you?"

Fang Zhongjin said: "It seems that there is really a problem with the books in the treasury behind the ministry. As he spoke, he told Ji Changan what he had discovered.

In the end, Fang Zhongjin said: "It seems that Lord Xia did not change his temperament because he ate poison. Rather, the patterns on the account books have the ability to deceive people's hearts and arouse nameless anger in people's hearts. ”

Ji Changan only realized at this time that his opponent was terrifying, and he could use such a strange ability to manipulate people's hearts.

He frowned and pondered for a long time, and asked, "Should we check all the people in the official department now?"

Fang Zhongjin waved his hand and said, "No." It is now clear that these books were not placed in the back treasury by the hands of the officials. ”
