Shen Ming smiled heartily, and said: "I know your father is not, but just as an example, if someone close to you did something so harmful to the world and the people, what would you do?"

Lu Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and said, "'Punishment does not evade ministers, and rewards do not leave people alone'. How can a family relationship be worth the harsh law."

Shen Ming nodded appreciatively, and said, "These years of experience are worthwhile."

Lu Wenyu was silent.

In the past few years, he has been wandering among the mobs, and he has seen too many people fighting for survival, fighting for their lives, killing each other, showing the evil of human nature to the fullest, but he has also seen many people walking thousands of miles, cutting their flesh for food , just to find a glimmer of life for those who care about.

In the prosperous times, some people can't get enough to eat bran, swallow vegetables, and in chaotic times, there are also people who eat tens of thousands of dollars a day, wine and meat. Who can hold the truth in this world?

Shen Ming sighed, and after laying the groundwork for a long time, he finally got to the point: "You have checked the old accounts of the household department, and you must have understood something. The main income of my dynasty comes from the tax bank. I always feel that there are loopholes in the old accounts, especially about the tax bank. There is something hidden."

The transportation of tax and silver in the five major prefectures and counties in the north must pass through the official road of Chuzhou.

But four years ago, a group of bandits suddenly appeared and robbed the tax bank of Chuzhou.The Holy Majesty was furious and wanted to send troops to suppress the bandits, but Kong Yuanqi went south to defend the bandits and did not return them. The court had no one available. Li Hongzhong was still the Minister of the Ministry of War at that time, so he volunteered to send troops to suppress the bandits. Within half a month, all the bandits were arrested and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation .

But the Ministry of Criminal Interrogation did not ask about the whereabouts of the tax money for half a day. In the end, those bandits died in prison, and the tax money was also missing.

Shen Ming said in a deep voice: "This matter has been put on hold until now, but just a while ago, someone anonymously sent me a letter, which said that the bandits back then had tattoos of imperial wolf fangs on their bodies."

Lu Wenyu suddenly realized: "Are you suspecting that someone in my court has cheated on you?"

Mr. Shen sighed, and said: "It's just a suspicion, there is no evidence, and no one knows. So... I want you to investigate secretly and go to Chuzhou quietly."

Lu Wenyu paused for a moment, then said: "Lord Shen, to be honest, I came back from Chuzhou, and I didn't find anything unusual during those few years."

Shen Ming frowned: "This..."

After all, the Ministry of Household Affairs is not the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so it cannot investigate and interrogate with great fanfare.

Shen Ming pondered for a while, then said: "Let's put this matter aside for now, if there are any more clues, we'll discuss it later."

Lu Wenyu nodded, keeping this in mind.

Four years ago... Could the person behind this be related to the war three years ago?

Who sent the letter to Mr. Shen?

Volume 11 The old man has become new ([-])

Lu Wenyu walked out of the cubicle in a mess.

As soon as he walked to the street, he saw Kong Feibai saying something helplessly, Xiao Yu folded his hands on his chest, and looked like he was watching the excitement, surrounded by many people.

Lu Wenyu walked over to push through the crowd and found that Shen Yi was there, pointing at Kong Feibai angrily.

Lu Wenyu called out, "Brother Feibai? Miss Shen?"

All three turned to look at him.

Shen Yi hurriedly said: "Brother Ah Ling! You have to help me!"

Kong Feibai was surprised: "You know each other?"

Xiao Yu didn't make a sound, just looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Lu Wenyu asked, "This... Brother Fei Bai, what's going on?"

Kong Feibai spread his hands and said helplessly, "Wen Yu, you came just in time. This little girl insisted that I bumped into her while riding a horse, and she wanted me to apologize."

Shen Yi pointed to the torn corner of her skirt: "Brother Ah Ling, look, his skirt has been torn by me."

Kong Feibai: "Little girl, if you hadn't rushed out suddenly, would I have stepped on the corner of your skirt?"

"I...I..." Shen Yi was at a loss for words. She was temporarily fascinated when she saw Xiao Yu riding over, so she didn't move her feet.

She glanced at Xiao Yu quietly, Xiao Yu noticed it, and smiled at her, she blushed immediately, covered half of her face with a handkerchief, as shy as an unbloomed flower.

Seeing the situation, Lu Wenyu immediately understood.Fox Xiao charms people's hearts, and Kong Feibai is a cannon fodder.

Kong Cannon Fodder said: "I... what am I, stuttering? Seeing that you are still young and a girl, I don't care about you. Let's go out for snacks in the future."

Shen Yi lost her shyness in an instant, and was about to wave the handkerchief over Kong Feibai's face: "What do you mean stuttering? You are the only one who stutters, and your whole family stutters."

Kong Fei laughed angrily: "Yes, yes, my whole family stutters. Miss, can we go?"

With her hands on her hips, Shen Yi muttered, "Hmph, you go."

Kong Fei got on the horse, and Xiao Yu also got on the horse sideways, making a gesture to leave.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was about to leave, Shen Yi hurriedly said, "Wait... this young master... the little girl's name is Shen Yi, I don't know your surname?"

Xiao Yu looked at Lu Wenyu, Lu Wenyu glared at him, he smiled and played a trick, and said, "Then remember it, my name is Kong Feibai."

Then, with a strong lift, he pulled Lu Wenyu onto the horse and ran away with him.

Kong Feibai looked at them both blankly, then looked back at Shen Yi, and left in a daze.

Shen Yi thought to herself, Kong Feibai... I didn't expect him to be so good-looking. The Xiao Yu in the rumors is probably the same. Since I can't see Xiao Yu, then Kong Feibai is also good. Go back and ask Dad to find out about this person.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wenyu was pulled onto the horse, so she accidentally choked on the cold wind, hid behind Xiao Yu's back and coughed a few times, her eyes were red from coughing.

After a while, he asked, "It's so late, where are you taking me?"

Xiao Yu replied: "Take you to a good place, don't worry, I won't sell you."

Lu Wenyu thought in his heart, if he sells it, he will sell you. If you sell it by Liuhu Lake, you will surely earn a lot of money.

Xiao Yu turned his head again and said, "Hold me tight, I'm going to speed up."

Lu Wenyu thought to himself, he hadn't ridden a horse before, how fast he could be, and grabbed Xiao Yu's sleeve meaningfully.

Xiao Yu chuckled lightly and swung his whip. The horse immediately rushed out like an arrow off the string. The wind blew past his ears, and Lu Wenyu almost flew out. He was startled, and quickly grabbed Xiao Yu belt.

Xiao Yu's voice came over with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of pulling my belt apart? At that time, there will be rumors that General Xiao and Lu Shilang are disheveled in public, behave ambiguously, and are still on the horse. Oh, really I can play."

Lu Wenyu immediately hugged his waist tightly, buried her face firmly on his back, and said in a muffled voice, "Stop talking nonsense."

Xiao Yu achieved his goal and smiled with satisfaction.He led Lu Wenyu through Hualiu Alley, where singing and dancing was peaceful, and went straight down Liuhu Lake. After about two quarters of an hour, he finally stopped at the lower reaches of Liuhu Lake.

The lower reaches of Liuhu Lake is a deep water pool. There are many river lanterns floating on the green water surface. The shining candlelight looks extremely romantic and gentle in the hazy night.

Lu Wenyu stared at the full river lanterns and was stunned.Deep in his memory, there seemed to be a similar picture.

Seeing him blankly, Xiao Yu couldn't help but find it funny, and felt extremely comfortable.Just like this, the two of them rode on the horse and watched the lantern quietly.

After a while, Lu Wenyu came back to his senses and asked, "How did you find out here?"

Xiao Yu said: "When I was on duty to patrol Liuhu Lake today, some people put river lanterns by the lake, and I was worried that I didn't know where to find you. I didn't expect that we are so destined. Tell me, is this a willow on the moon?" On the tip of the mountain, after dusk?"

Lu Wenyu: "It's a pity, you made an appointment with the wrong person, and I'm not a woman. You should bring Miss Shen Yi here, she will definitely like it."

Xiao Yu pretended to be melancholy: "Then what should I do, I just want to please you."

Lu Wenyu's face became hot, and her heart beat a little faster. Gu Zuo said to him, "That's Shen Shangshu's daughter, and she still seems to like you very much. If you want to date her, you have a bright future."

Xiao Yu automatically ignored the second half of his sentence, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Is she the daughter of the Shen family who had a marriage contract with you?"

Volume 12 The old man has become new ([-])

Lu Wenyu was startled, narrowed his eyes, and looked at him suspiciously.

He said: "It's about the daughter's name, only a few people know about it, how do you know?"

Xiao Yu was startled, a look of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he said casually, "Of course Brother Feibai told me."

Lu Wenyu: "I remember I didn't tell Brother Feibai."

Xiao Yu continued to make nonsense: "Then I don't know, maybe it was said when I was drunk?"

There is no way to refute Lu Wenyu's black line. He talks too much when he is drunk, and it is very possible to accidentally reveal it.

He whispered, "Brother Fei Bai tells you everything."

Xiao Yu smiled: "Maybe it's... because everyone loves me?"

Lu Wenyu: "Oh, stop being narcissistic."

Xiao Yu asked: "You haven't said whether she is the daughter?"

Lu Wenyu was speechless, and said: "So what, it happened several years ago, and besides, I refused at that time."

Xiao Yu: "Why did you refuse?"

Lu Wenyu thought for a while, and said: "I was young at the time, and I didn't want to be bound by this, and..."

Moreover, he didn't know what liking was at that time, and by tomorrow, things had already changed.

"and?"

"Forget it, tell you what to do." Lu Wenyu gave him a blank look, and got off the horse.

He walked to the edge of the pool, looked down at the river lantern carefully, and tried his best to suppress the slightest sadness in the night.

Xiao Yu also dismounted, walked slowly to the river, and looked down at the lamp as well.

Lu Wenyu picked up a lamp, looked at it, and found that it was a blessing lamp, on which was written "May my Alangshi's soul rest in peace, sleep in the night, and my wife will miss you very much", presumably it was a loved one who died on the battlefield and only hoped for it in his dream Engraved by the woman who met.

Lu Wenyu counted the days, and it turned out that Qingming is approaching...

He also misses someone in his heart, looking forward to reunion after parting day and night, sharing dreams and souls, but...
