After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

night.

Master Miao was walking tiredly on his way home.

He has been helping Wei Kangyuan find ways to raise money these past two days.

That Young Master Yun had really screwed them over, and Wei Kangyuan was so angry that he almost fainted.

But Mr. Fu still has to give the cash.

Wei Kangyuan was reluctant to take out the money he had hidden away, so he asked him to run errands to borrow money.

Master Miao couldn't help but curse.

One million taels!

How could he borrow so much money...

I work hard for him on weekdays, but I don't get much in return. Whenever something goes wrong, he is pushed out first.

The more Master Miao thought about it, the angrier he became.

Suddenly, he heard some movement behind him.

I turned around and looked back, but there was nothing.

After taking two more steps, I heard footsteps behind me.

Just as he was about to turn around to check, someone put a sack over his head.

"Who are you... Ugh!"

After being hit by a stick, Master Miao’s eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.

When I woke up again, I found myself lying in an unfamiliar room with flickering candlelight.

He shook the back of his head which still felt a little painful and sat up.

When I looked up, I saw the man sitting at the top.

Master Miao’s eyes widened in shock.

"It's you!"

Master Miao stood up and pointed at Xiao Yujing angrily.

"You used fake banknotes to deceive us!"

"who are you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Burch kicked him in the knee.

Master Miao fell to his knees again with a plop.

He tried to get up, but Birch pushed him hard to the ground.

"be honest!"

Xiao Yujing looked at the people below with an expressionless face.

"Where is the account book of Wei Kangyuan's deliveries to the Black Hawk Gang?" he asked coldly.

Master Miao was silent.

How did he know?

"Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Birch."

Xiao Yujing spoke.

Burch loosened his hand, took out an account book from his arms and threw it in front of Master Miao.

"This is the account book found in your house."

Xiao Yujing's tone was cold.

"What is recorded above is the actual salt production of the Yangping County Salt Field this year, which is exactly twice as much as what you reported to the court."

"If it wasn't given to the Black Hawk Gang, then where did it go?"

Master Miao picked up the account book on the ground.

It turned out to be the one he had hidden at home.

Only after hearing what Xiao Yujing said did he react.

It turns out that this "Young Master Yun" was actually sent by Kyoto to investigate them!

Master Miao was extremely nervous at this moment, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Don't panic, they just found this account book, it doesn't mean anything.

Master Miao managed to calm himself down and spoke.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I wrote this account book casually. It has nothing to do with the salt field you mentioned."

"Just writing it casually?"

Birch sneered.

"You want to stamp the salt works seal on anything you write?"

He placed his foot on his back, pushing his upper body lower.

"What salt field seal? I don't recognize it! And what you did is considered trespassing. I can sue you!"

Master Miao lay on the ground and said stubbornly.

Burch didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and just punched him.

Master Miao was beaten so hard that he kept crying “Aiya!”

Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Yujing raised his hand to stop Burch's actions.

Burch let go of Master Miao's collar and threw him to the ground.

Master Miao was lying on the ground, grimacing in pain.

Xiao Yujing stood up and walked in front of him.

"Master Miao, now that the imperial court knows what you did, they will definitely investigate it thoroughly."

"Now that you've told the truth, you still have a chance to make amends."

"If we really wait until the people above come to arrest us, it won't be as simple as a beating."

Master Miao trembled all over.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that last month a woman in the east of the city jumped into the river and died after being humiliated. Master Miao spent a lot of money to provide compensation. Master Miao is really kind-hearted."

"I think Madam Miao will be very touched when she finds out..."

Master Miao was dumbfounded.

How did he know this?!

He was drunk that night and mistook the lady from the wine shop who came to deliver wine for a girl from a brothel. He did something indecent to her, which caused her to jump into the river and commit suicide. He spent a lot of money to settle the matter.

This matter must not be known to the lady.

My wife is pregnant now. What if she finds out and hurts the fetus?

Master Miao looked at Xiao Yujing resignedly.

"I said it, I said it all."

Master Miao told Xiao Yujing everything about how Wei Kangyuan had abused the salt workers and how he had colluded with the Black Hawk Gang over the past few months.

"Where are the salt workers who were killed?" Birch demanded.

Master Miao shook his head.

"I really don't know about this. The Black Hawk Gang killed him and dealt with him. I didn't lie to you."

Burch looked at Xiao Yujing.

Xiao Yujing nodded slightly.

"Where is the account book of Wei Kangyuan's collusion with the Black Hawk Gang?!" Birch continued to ask.

He went to the Wei Mansion and the Miao Family tonight and searched them thoroughly, but he only found this account book and no other clues.

"The account book is in the inner hall of the county government office, locked in the drawer of Wei Kangyuan's desk, but..." Master Miao looked at Boqi.

"Just say it, why are you hesitating?" Birch said impatiently.

"But Wei Kangyuan carried the key to the drawer with him, so it's hard to get it." Master Miao said.

Wei Kangyuan was very cautious in his work. If Master Miao had not followed him for many years and was not his brother-in-law, he would never have entrusted the salt field's account books to him for safekeeping.

Birch frowned.

On Wei Kangyuan?

Then he would catch the man and beat him up, and then he would hand over the key obediently.

Xiao Yujing saw what Burch was thinking and shook his head in disapproval.

They have been in the dark for so long and are about to find out the truth. They cannot alert the enemy at this time.

When Master Miao saw that the two men had serious expressions, he suddenly thought of a plan.

"Master Yun, I have a plan."

Xiao Yujing and Boqi looked at each other.

"explain."

-

Yunxiang Tower.

Just after noon, the brothel owner opened the shop for business, but there were no customers yet.

"It's getting hotter and hotter."

The madam kept fanning herself and muttering something.

An hour later, guests came in one after another.

"Hey, Grandpa Sun, why did you come just today~"

"Hey, Prince Wang, I haven't seen you for a while. Please come in!"

"Xiao Taohua~ She's been talking about you these days..."

The madam stood at the door and greeted the guests.

After a while, a luxuriously decorated carriage stopped at the entrance of Yunxiang Tower.

The car door opened, and two handsome young men got out.

The madam's eyes lit up and she hurried over to meet him.

"Hey, gentlemen, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

The madam looked at the two people in front of her.

The tall one has a cold temperament and seems very difficult to approach; the shorter one looks quite gentle.

Both of them looked good, but their faces couldn't be seen clearly because of the masks, so only a pair of eyes were visible.

But he was dressed elegantly and looked like a rich man.

The nanny quickly welcomed the two of them in.

The people who came were Xiao Yujing and Jiang Ruoli.
