The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

In the dead of night, Yu Chuan visited Mr. Wei's study again.

The result was as he expected. There was indeed a dark room, and the keyhole was the mechanism. The key Mr. Wei wore around his neck was the key to opening the mechanism, and the exact same key he found someone to make worked equally well.

In the darkroom, Yu Chuan found three account books and some letters. After confirming that they were what his master was looking for, he took them away. As for the gold and silver treasures and silver notes in the darkroom, he did not touch them.

After returning to Gu Mansion, Yu Chuan went to find his master, but was stopped by Qingqiu.

Yu Chuan said: "Miss Qingqiu, I have something urgent to see the Marquis, and I hope Miss Qingqiu will go and let me know."

Qingqiu replied softly: "Yuchuan, the Marquis said, don't disturb him even if the sky falls. If the sky does fall, you should bear it by yourself first, and the Marquis will deal with it tomorrow."

Yu Chuan: "?"

What do you mean?

Didn't Mr. Hou care about case-related matters in the past? Why don't you seem to care now? You don't follow up on such a big matter personally, so you can trust him to handle it?

Qingqiu saw that he was silent and thoughtful, and then asked: "Did something happen? Although the Marquis did not want to be disturbed tonight, the Marquis also said that if it is a big matter that you can't handle, you can go there immediately Tell the Marquis and he will handle it immediately."

Yu Chuan replied: "It's not a big deal, just a small matter. We can deal with it tomorrow."

Qingqiu said: "Then please go back and come see the Marquis tomorrow morning."

Yu Chuan had no choice but to go back first. When he went to the Wei Mansion tonight, although he successfully got what he wanted, something happened on the way. However, even if he talked to the Marquis now, he couldn't solve the problem. He still had to solve it tomorrow. .

After Qingqiu sent Yu Chuan away, she returned to the door of the main house and waited for the master's summons. Listening to the blushing noises coming from the house, she probably knew why the Marquis did not allow others to disturb him. It was probably because of the dark face of the Marquis in the morning. I feel unhappy that a good thing has been interrupted.

inside the house.

Meng Jinyao looked at the man pitifully and suggested in a low voice: "Husband, don't overdo anything. If you hurt your body, it won't be worth the loss. I heard that people who hurt their bodies have to take medicine to make up for it. Husband, you don't want to take tonics in the future, right?"

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi suddenly felt thunder rolling from the sky, and he immediately intensified his bullying of the person in his arms. While bullying him, he asked, "Ayao, do you think your husband is useless?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head hastily: "No, no, my husband is very useful."

After that, Meng Jinyao didn't know how long he was tossing, and he fell asleep in a daze at some point.

Early the next morning, the morning light spread down, and the sky and earth were filled with brightness.

Gu Jingxi had woken up, and gently released the sleeping person in his arms. Then he dressed neatly and went to the clean room to wash up so as not to disturb A Yao's sleep.

After he finished washing, Qingqiu stepped forward and bowed as soon as he left the house, and then said: "Master Hou, Yu Chuan came here last night and said that there was a small problem, but it was not a big deal, so I asked him to go back first. .”

Gu Jingxi nodded and went to the front yard to find Yu Chuan.

Yu Chuan got up early this morning. When he learned that his master was looking for him, he immediately took the account books and letters he found in Mr. Wei's darkroom last night and went to the study. After bowing, he presented the things and said: "Master Marquis, I fulfilled my mission and found these three account books in the dark room of Mr. Wei's study, as well as some letters."

After Gu Jingxi took it, he first looked at what was written in the letter. After reading it, he frowned and his face became solemn.

When they came to Huzhou, they met the poor girl asking for help. Although the girl was not left behind, they later learned that the girl and the couple were acting, but they were not sure which family sent them. They didn't worry about which company sent them.

Now that I have read the letter, I am finally sure.

It turned out to be the Han family.

Mr. Wei's hands are not clean, but Mr. Han, the governor of Zhejiang, is not clean either. Even those far away in the capital, Mr. Han's home town, the Duke's Office, are the same. It was the Han family who originally wanted to plant an informant, but failed. .

Involving the Han family, it was a minor case that turned out to be a major one.

Zhejiang is a prosperous place, and it is easy for corrupt officials to appear in such a place. As a feudal official, the governor is powerful and powerful. Basically, he will not be an absolutely upright official. It depends on what he does and whether he meets the requirements that the emperor wants to get rid of. Standards must be eliminated to a certain extent.

Afterwards, Gu Jingxi looked through the account book again. It was better not to check it. After looking through it, he found that Mr. Wei was richer than he imagined. There were many large inputs in the account. These were Mr. Wei's personal private accounts. Corruption and bribery of money.

The other two account books are the real accounts of Huzhou Prefecture. The amount of tax collection, local governance and construction expenditures, etc. are all real amounts. The ones placed in the government office are perfect false accounts.

When these account books and letters are presented to the emperor, the Wei family will definitely suffer. As for what will happen to the Han family, it depends on the emperor's wishes. After all, they belong to the Zhenguo Duke's mansion.

Gu Jingxi closed the account book and asked, "Yu Chuan, what happened last night?"

Yu Chuan replied nonchalantly: "The young man opened the darkroom and took out the account books and letters smoothly. But after he came out of the study and was about to leave, he met a young boy who looked at him about fifteen or sixteen years old. , he looks like a low-class servant in his attire."

Gu Jingxi: "...then what?"

Yu Chuan said truthfully: "Then before he could react, the younger one knocked him out with lightning speed, and placed him in a pavilion, where he sat on a stone bench and slept on a stone table. If you wake up like this, you may think you had a dream last night. Don't worry, Mr. Hou, the little one was masked and wearing night clothes last night. Even if he still remembers what happened last night, he won't know who the little one is."

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi was not angry at all. It was right that Yu Chuan did not kill anyone and silence them. Investigation of the case was very important, but it was not advisable to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Mr. Wei deserved to die, but this teenage boy did not deserve to die, and he was still a human being. Low-class boys, boys like this are cleaning and doing chores. If they are killed just because they see Yu Chuan, then they are not just. How is this different from executioners?

Yu Chuan asked anxiously: "Master Hou, what should we do now? I wanted to tell you about this last night, but you told me not to disturb."

Gu Jingxi replied quietly: "Even if you told me last night, it can only be dealt with today. It was so late last night that the city gate had already been unlocked. Anyway, you have already got what you should get, and other details are not important. But we still have to prepare for a rainy day, go and call Fang Xuan over first."

Seeing his master so calm, Yu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to find Fang Xuan.

After Fang Xuan came over, Gu Jingxi handed Fang Xuan the account books and letters, asked Fang Xuan to disguise himself, and immediately brought the evidence back to the capital before Mr. Wei found out.

The twins Fang Xuan and Fang Ce did not come to Huzhou with them. Fang Xuan and the others arrived early but did not show their faces, so Master Wei would not notice.

As for letting Fang Xuan return to Beijing first with the account books and letters, that was because Fang Xuan was more mature and stable than Fang Ce, and Fang Ce would stay and return to Beijing with them tomorrow.
