Shen Zhiwei walked in front of him, her eyes paused on his forehead.

Lu Ji touched the black ash with his hand, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Shen Zhiwei sighed, raised his sleeves resignedly, and wiped the ashes from his forehead: "You really are, you don't worry at all."

On the ebony table, white smoke was curling from the cup of sky green tea, and several people gathered around the table.

Lu Ji buried his head in drinking tea with some guilty conscience, Shen Zhiwei knocked on the table, and said with a cold face: "If this is really a situation set up by Mu Xiang, the blame will only be you and the eldest prince. At this time, you go to him alone. At home, have you ever thought about whether he will set up an ambush in the dark?"

Lu Ji couldn't help but argue: "Isn't there still Zhu Zhipan..." Facing Shen Zhiwei's eyes, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Shen Zhiwei glanced at Zhu Zhipan, Zhu Zhipan swallowed, and stabbed him twice without saying a word: "This is what Master Lu meant! It was he who first proposed to investigate Zhou Mingxu! I just followed!"

All right, kid, definitely don't even think about seeing Koshi Haruna again in the next month.

Lu Ji hooked the corners of his lips at him with a half-smile, and Zhu Zhipan's face suddenly collapsed.

Shen Zhiwei beat the two of them together, and finally stopped holding on to this matter, and the three of them began to study the half-burned account book.

"It seems that Zhou Mingxu is indeed not dead. He should have been in a hurry when he left, and he couldn't even wait until the account books were burned." Zhu Zhipan flipped through the broken pages, "It seems to be written on all the fields in the capital. tax."

Lu Ji touched his chin: "It should be right, he said that this is what he is responsible for in the household department."

However, the account book only records the land taxes paid by the counties under the jurisdiction of the capital on a monthly basis, but it has not been burned. Based on this account book alone, it seems that there is nothing else to be seen.

Zhu Zhipan tried to piece together the various counties and villages in Gyeonggi that had to pay land taxes, but the account books were burnt to a great extent, which seemed to be quite laborious. Zhu Zhipan struggled to identify: "Tongxiang County, 580 mu of land, The tax is 270 taels, Min County, the land is [-] mu, the tax is [-]..."

Zhu Zhipan read the names of 32 counties and villages, and found nothing wrong. Dayong implemented the tax mu system, and these amounts seemed normal.

Lu Ji suddenly sat up straight: "Wait a minute, can you read it again?"

Zhu Zhipan didn't understand, so he did as he said, Lu Ji frowned, and asked him to read it again, Zhu Zhipan read it three times, and finally said helplessly: "What's wrong, Mr. Lu?"

"Are you sure you haven't missed it?" Lu Ji stared at him with burning eyes.

Zhu Zhipan nodded resolutely, and Lu Ji slowly leaned back on the chair, muttering: "This account is wrong..."

Shen Zhiwei, who was listening silently, was startled, and turned to look at him.

Lu Ji couldn't help but sat up straight again, and cleared his throat: "This account is missing a place."

"Where?" Zhu Zhipan leaned over hastily.

Lu Ji said word by word: "Shangquan Village."
