Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

The two sisters didn't listen to their brother's explanation at all and just scolded him first.

Lu Zhanxing opened his mouth, there was nothing he could refute. Since they didn't want to listen, he could only listen obediently.

Lu Xihan said, "I'll have someone send you some money later. If it's not enough, tell me. But you can leave these women to me, elder sister!"

After saying that, the two sisters left without waiting for Lu Zhanxing to refuse.

Lu Zhanxing helplessly hit his palms wildly with his folding fan, and finally had to go find his eldest brother-in-law.

As soon as Gu Xuyao ​​came back from work, he was pulled into the study by Lu Zhanxing. Then Lu Zhanxing took out a booklet and handed it to him mysteriously.

Gu Xuyao ​​opened it with doubt, and his expression became more and more solemn as he read, and finally frowned tightly. He stared at Lu Zhanxing with a serious face: "Did you find out all this in the past three days?"

Lu Zhanxing leaned lazily on the chair, looking complacent: "Yes, in order to get this information for you, I spent a full five thousand taels! This information is enough for you to control Yuzhou in a short time, right?"

Gu Xuyao ​​took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He thought about what Lu Zhanxing had done in the past three days - he had been visiting brothels, theaters, teahouses, and pleasure boats every day... all of which were places where good and bad people mixed together.

Everyone knows that she is a playboy, but who knows that everything she does actually has other purposes?

Gu Xuyao ​​couldn't help but sigh that he still underestimated this brother-in-law! He had to re-examine this brother-in-law.

Could it be that she has been pretending to be a playboy all these years just to make it easier to collect intelligence?

Thinking of this, Gu Xuyao ​​felt a sense of admiration for Lu Zhanxing.

Although we have to admit that these places are full of good and bad people, and there is the most news. But the news inside is also true and false. It seems that it is not so easy to get this information? After all, the water here is very deep, if you are not careful, you may fall into danger.

After arriving in Yuzhou, he also started to gather information, but because the time was too short and he had to avoid the eyes and ears of some people, the progress was not very fast.

So far, he only knew about one or two of the officials, but Xingdi provided him with more detailed information. For example, how did he know that one of the county magistrates was impersonated?

"How did you do it?" he couldn't help but ask.

If all this information is true, then he can guarantee that he will be in complete control of the situation by the end of this year, and may even be able to catch a few big fish in the capital for his own use.

Of course, all of this is based on the authenticity of the information.

Lu Zhanxing did not hide it: "I took the information of Yuzhou officials from your study. I was afraid that I could not find out anything, so I took it privately. Will my brother-in-law blame me?"

Gu Xuyao ​​said helplessly: "You have already taken it. What can I do if I blame you?" He glared at her again and said, "Speak to the point!"

Lu Zhanxing chuckled and began to narrate what he had done in the past three days.

It turned out that in order to find out the secrets of these Yuzhou officials, she did not hesitate to go to brothels and other places of entertainment in person, and specially selected girls who had served officials and the children of officials to serve her.

Of course, in order to get them to reveal some valuable information, Lu Zhanxing spent a lot of money. It cost nearly five thousand taels just to get the information, and the money for redemption was also paid out of her own pocket.

"After I got the information from them, I asked Bai Jing to secretly go to their study to investigate, and then I got this information." Lu Zhanxing said proudly.

"As for those eight girls, I do think they are good at gathering information, so I redeemed them and planned to open a shop to make it more convenient for me to collect information. But my two sisters insisted that I hand them over. Brother-in-law, please help me persuade them." Lu Zhanxing said helplessly.

Although Lu Zhanxing downplayed the situation of the information gathering, Gu Xuyao ​​knew in his heart that this was definitely not an easy task.

Moreover, Gu Xuyao ​​also realized that his brother seemed to have other channels to collect information. However, he did not get to the bottom of it. As a young man from a big family, who doesn't have trump cards and means?

Since his brother was unwilling to reveal more details, Gu Xuyao ​​naturally would not force him.

In fact, just as Gu Xuyao ​​guessed, Lu Zhanxing's efforts to find out the information were far from as simple as it seemed.

The situations she just described can indeed receive more intelligence, but they are by no means less detailed.

During these three days, Lu Zhanxing often went in and out of brothels and other places where good and bad people mixed together to collect information, while Bai Jing secretly investigated the locations of these officials' study rooms.

Afterwards, he used his spatial ability to sneak into the study rooms of those officials in the middle of the night. After all, the study room is often the place that can best reveal the inner world and secrets of officials.

The officials in Yuzhou are not as vigilant as those in the capital. They have arranged secret guards to guard nearby. If you want to go to their study, you have to be very careful. The risk is extremely high.

However, for Lu Zhanxing, who could walk in space, sneaking into the study of these Yuzhou officials was very smooth. Not to mention, she not only took away a lot of gold, silver and treasures in the dark room of the study, but also various antique calligraphy and paintings. Most importantly, there were so many secrets.

In some hidden organs and secret compartments, she found a thick stack of letters containing some important intelligence and information. In addition, she also found some precious jewelry and antiques, which were all obtained through corruption and bribery by officials.

This operation brought her a lot of gains and she saw a lot. There were beauties hidden in the dark rooms, men hidden in the dark rooms, transaction letters hidden in the dark rooms... there was everything. What was especially creepy was the corpse hidden in the dark rooms.

That’s right, the body hidden in the dark room was the official who was impersonated. He had an identical twin brother.

The elder brother became an official through the imperial examination, while the younger brother was doing well in business in his hometown. The two sides had been living in peace for many years, but the younger brother fell in love with the sister-in-law, pretending to be the elder brother and having an affair with the sister-in-law, but the elder brother finally discovered the clues.

The elder brother was indignant and impulsively asked his younger brother to go to his study to kill him, but he was killed instead and was eventually completely impersonated.

How to say it? Officials in this world have some secrets that cannot be revealed, and these secrets happen to be in her hands. Look, all these handles are recorded in the book, and each one is a major secret that is enough to make those officials surrender.

"I will tell your eldest sister that these books are indeed very useful to me. Your brother is very lucky to have a brother like you who cares about him wholeheartedly."

In fact, in the past, he only thought that his wife's brother was very naive and only knew how to linger in brothels all day long. His impression of him was that of a spoiled dandy.

However, ever since he learned that his younger brother had taken the initiative to marry Su Xianye for the future of the Anguo Mansion, he realized that there could be no stupid people in a big family.

They knew that if one prospers, all prosper, and if one suffers, all suffer, and were willing to remove all obstacles for the future head of the family. From then on, he no longer treated Xingdi as an ignorant child, but chose to treat her as an equal.

But now, he found that he had still underestimated his brother-in-law. He had been in Yuzhou until now, but he had not figured out the secrets of these officials. However, Xingdi had completed it in just three days. It could be seen that Xingdi was more capable than he imagined.

"Look at what my eldest brother-in-law said. You are very lucky to have a brother like me. Otherwise, how could you and I become a family?"

Hearing this, Gu Xuyao ​​suddenly smiled like a flower in the spring morning: "You are right!"

Lu Zhanxing was very satisfied that his whole family was good-looking and pleasing to the eye, but it was a pity for the third sister...
