Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Jiang Lianzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, seeing that the panic in Mrs. Huang's eyes did not seem to be fake, and the words she said must be true.

Also, how could he tell such an important thing to a woman casually?

"One more thing, who did Huang Xi leave the house to meet tonight?" Jiang Lianzhu then asked.

"I...I don't know. I heard that I'm in town. I didn't tell anyone specifically who I wanted to meet!"

"Town?"

Jiang Lianzhu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she pressed Mrs. Huang harder and harder with the dagger.

"You should know what to do about these things tonight. Although I can't touch Huang Xi, I can at least touch you."

"Yes."

Mrs. Huang kept nodding her head, her bun becoming messy as she moved.

She must keep this kind of thing in her heart. If outsiders find out about it, it will be a bit embarrassing. Secondly, it will arouse Huang Xi's suspicion.

He never liked being talkative. If he was told this matter, it might make him suspect that he had colluded with people outside the house.

Seeing Madam Huang's eyes full of affirmation, Jiang Lianzhu put the dagger back into her sleeve.

In just a blink of an eye, she was gone.

Mrs. Huang collapsed on the bed, her whole body soaked in cold sweat. She was breathing heavily, and she could still feel the sharp arc of her chest.

study.

Liao Yunchuan and Yang Fei entered through the window after confirming that no one was inside.

They looked through all the official documents on Huang Xi's desk, but didn't find anything they wanted.

"Boss, do you think there will be a darkroom or something in this study? Logically speaking, this thing shouldn't be hidden that deep."

Yang Fei searched around, but still had no clue. He looked back at Liao Yunchuan, who was still searching.

"There shouldn't be a darkroom. The study looks as big from the outside as it does from the inside. If you want to dig a darkroom underground, the noise will definitely disturb the people nearby. There should also be rumors around it. .”

Liao Yunchuan didn't even raise his head, but gave a faint response.

Huang Xicai had just been transferred here not long ago, so he couldn't have arranged everything so perfectly.

"Well, boss, where else do you think we can search now? All the cabinets that need to be searched have been rummaged through. If we want to search again, the only place we can look for is over the bed."

Yang Fei looked at Liao Yunchuan and pointed to the bed behind a door not far away.

The structure of Huang Xi's study is a bit unique. There is another small room separated in the study, with a pit specially placed for people to rest.

They had already taken a quick look inside the small room and saw that there was no place to hide anything, so they started looking outside.

"Go in and search again."

Liao Yunchuan's eyes darkened and he walked in directly.

The two of them turned everything inside this room upside down.

It wasn't until I lifted up the trap that I saw the thick stack of official documents hidden underneath, as well as some slightly yellowed letters.

Liao Yunchuan squinted, asked Yang Fei to bring a candlestick closer, and opened the letter on the top.

There were only a dozen or so words in my heart, but the content of the explanation made both of them gasp.

"The iron ore was successfully delivered to the border and the connector has been found."

"Here, where is this iron ore actually going to be sent? Boss, I need to go back to Beijing to talk about this matter, and by the way, find out where this contact person comes from. Aren't these people just relying on the border to control the world? Emperor Gao is far away, that’s why he dares to act so randomly!”

"Don't worry."

Liao Yunchuan glanced at Yang Fei, who immediately shut his mouth.

Then they opened the remaining letters, and the contents were completely different, except that they did not mention what the iron ore was used for, nor the identity of the contact person.

"Take all these letters with you, and don't leave behind the batch of official documents in your hands."

Liao Yunchuan quickly restored some letters to their original state, folded them into a pile, and handed them to Yang Fei beside him.

Yang Fei nodded and followed Liao Yunchuan directly out of the house.

When the two people walked out of the back door, Jiang Lianzhu had been waiting there for a long time.

She looked at the things Yang Fei held in his hand and was a little curious: "Is this what you are here to find?"

"These are the only things that can be found so far that are useful for investigating this matter. Huang Xi has done a good job of keeping it secret. The ones placed on the desk are also official documents sent from the county."

As Liao Yunchuan spoke, he pulled off the outer robe of his night clothes and wrapped all the things in Yang Fei's hands inside.

"Then where did you find these?"

After Jiang Lianzhu heard this, she became even more curious.

"The boss and I found these under the couch. I didn't expect that man was playing dirty tricks. He placed these things so hiddenly that we almost couldn't find them!"

Yang Fei clicked his tongue and was about to say a few more words, but then he felt like a bag of stuff was stuffed into his hand.

When he raised his head and wanted to ask a question, he met Liao Yunchuan's somewhat ferocious eyes.

Forget it, it's not my turn to answer for this kind of thing.

"I also found some useful information here, but I won't go into details with you here. I'll talk about it when I get back."

"it is good."

The three of them went all the way back to the Governor's Mansion.

After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Jiang Lianzhu pulled out all the information she had obtained from Mrs. Huang.

Liao Yunchuan was a little surprised after hearing this, but then he became a little more understanding.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with the information he had investigated. Huang Xi was not as simple as he seemed.

"If this matter is involved, it will cause trouble in the capital, so I can't get involved in this aspect, and I don't have the ability."

Jiang Lianzhu looked at Liao Yunchuan, stretched out her hand to pour herself a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Although she wanted to permanently eliminate future troubles for herself, the matter in front of her did involve a lot, and it was not something he could escape from all by himself.

"Naturally, after this matter is investigated clearly, we will naturally report it to the capital."

Liao Yunchuan responded and handed some of the things Yang Fei had brought to Jiang Lianzhu.

"You can read what is written here. The iron mine is mentioned more than once. You have a relationship with the official in Luoshui Town. Can you go to him to inquire about the iron mine?"

"What's so difficult about that."

Jiang Lianzhu responded casually and flipped through the things he handed over from beginning to end.

"But whether they know about the existence of this iron ore is another matter."
