The dim back

Chapter 88 The thief shouts to catch the thief

Zhang Yulu raised his neck and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with me, why would I destroy the evidence?"

Qiu Feng said something more reasonable: "This matter concerns my father, so of course I have to be cautious."

Liu Zhongqing wondered what was going on: "This matter originally concerns Lord Qiu. At least he knows the people involved in the case back then."

Zhang Yulu felt so sad when she heard these words.

Zhang Yulu smiled and said, "This is obviously suspicion of me, as if I am the bad guy, but don't worry, this kind of thing is nothing to me."

After hearing this, Liu Zhongqing naturally had his own thoughts in his mind: "We can't be so arbitrary now. I believe this matter will be thoroughly investigated."

Xiao Douzi stood aside, looking like he was watching a good show: "I want to see what the Protector of the Kingdom will do. It looks like the show is about to begin."

Facing his bad friend, Liu Zhongqing said angrily: "If you can speak, speak. If you can't speak, don't speak, so as not to make me angry."

Liu Zhongqing said to the two of them: "I hope that things like this will happen less frequently in the mansion in the future. I hope that this place can be peaceful and not cause any trouble."

This sentence is an allusion to Zhang Yulu, and anyone with a discerning eye can hear it.

Zhang Yulu was extremely angry. There was indeed no such paragraph in his novel. Now it seemed that fate had indeed been rewritten.

Zhang Yulu stepped forward decisively: "I will get to the bottom of this matter. Please give me some time."

After saying these words, Zhang Yulu hurried back to his residence and looked through the account book.

But after looking left and right for a long time, I still didn't see any clues.

At this time, the maid brought out the sugar-water meatballs from outside: "Miss, you should eat some."

Zhang Yulu shook her head and said, "Now that we have come here from the villa, you can just call me Madam from now on. Don't say anything else, otherwise we will have no place to stay here."

The maid understood, of course, and nodded and said, "Indeed, the rules of the palace are much stricter than those of our villa. Recently, I have been very careful when speaking and doing things, and I am afraid of offending someone I shouldn't offend."

Hearing the maid say this, Zhang Yulu felt a little embarrassed: "To be honest, I, as a young lady, have no prestige at all. I must take advantage of this opportunity to establish my prestige in the palace."

The maid was very happy to hear the young lady say this: "I have always believed that the young lady is not competitive and is not used to fighting, but the fighting in the harem is too intense to allow us to think otherwise."

Hearing this, Zhang Yulu asked the maid, "When we got there yesterday, did you feel anything was different about the study?"

The maid recalled and said, "I remember when I first entered, I touched the tea on the desk. The tea was still warm, which proves that the prince had just left."

Zhang Yulu picked up the book, flipped through a few pages, and then thought: "Someone must have stolen it. After we left, they took away the real evidence, and burned it just to create a false impression for us to see. I feel like this person must be trying to frame us."

The maid understood after hearing this: "Miss, I understand what you mean. So, the biggest suspect should be the concubine. When Concubine Qiu spoke, she cleared herself of all suspicion."

Hearing the maid say this, Zhang Yulu also felt that this was the case: "Today I will come up with one to make him confess without being asked."

The maid immediately became interested: "Miss, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Yulu said with a smile on her face: "The mountain man has his own clever plan. Just listen to my instructions. Don't act rashly without my permission. Now go out and tell everyone that I have found evidence."

The maid was at a loss: "Miss, are you kidding? If the prince asks, we have nothing here."

Zhang Yulu shook his head and said, "We can only take risky actions now. Since someone is attacking us, why don't we take it openly?"

Zhang Yulu said to the maid confidently, "Just do as I say, and I guarantee that we can redress our grievances."

The maid certainly trusted Zhang Yulu: "I'll just wait for news from the princess."

Time passed quickly, and the maid spread all the news throughout the palace, and everyone gathered in the front yard.

Qiu Feng was very anxious and asked Zhang Yulu: "Why don't I believe that you can find evidence so quickly? Can you conjure up the evidence?"

Zhang Yulu ignored Qiu Feng and turned to look at Xiao Douzi: "What do you think?"

Xiao Douzi shook his head and said, "Don't say that. To me, I am just a postman, responsible for delivering the letter. But if I hand it to the prince, then it is all his business."

Zhang Yulu looked at Liu Zhongqing.

Liu Zhongqing looked straight at Zhang Yulu: "Bring out any evidence you have, don't play tricks here, okay, I'll clear your name."

Zhang Yulu took out a book from her waist and said to everyone, "I did go into the study room. I accidentally spilled the tea at that time. I was afraid that the prince would blame me, so I took the evidence back and decided to go back and fill it out again."

Liu Zhongqing suddenly realized: "What about those fragments of pages on the ground?"

Zhang Yulu smiled and said, "The thief must have been blind and didn't check the evidence. He just started burning it carelessly, so of course he missed it and didn't notice that I was stealing the dragon and the phoenix."

Liu Zhongqing was very happy. At this time, Zhang Yulu was observing Qiu Feng and saw that Qiu Feng's expression was obviously unnatural.

Zhang Yulu asked Qiu Feng, "Concubine Qiu, is there an extra book in your study?"

Qiu Feng hesitated, "I don't know what you are talking about. You are so mysterious, it's really hateful."

Zhang Yulu was not angry, and said to the maid beside her: "Qiu Tao, you came with me from Yiren Villa, go to Concubine Qiu's room and find the book for me."

Just as Qiutou was about to take action, Qiufeng's maid came over.

Qiu Feng's maid blocked the way and said, "Sister Qiu Tao, can you let me go with you?"

Zhang Yulu coughed, and Qiu Tao got the young lady's secret signal and immediately slapped her: "Chun Zhu, didn't I tell you? Our young lady is the princess, and your young lady is a concubine. How can you have the right to speak in front of me?"

Just as Chunzhu was about to take action, Zhang Yulu immediately stood up and said, "I am usually a weak person and don't want to argue with you, but that doesn't mean I am easy to bully. Obviously, someone is trying to harm me today and frame me. I will not give up on this matter no matter what."

This was also the first time Liu Zhongqing saw Zhang Yulu angry, and he was indeed unsure: "Since there is no damage, let's forget about it, okay?"
