How to work

As soon as he came here, he heard all the good news, Lu Li laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, he almost threw himself on Zhao Zhu as if he was holding Shen Wansha in a circle just now.

As for why he held back, one is because of Zhao Zhu's sexual orientation, and the other is that there are outsiders around him.

This time, Xingyuan was staying at Zhou's house, a silk and satin merchant, and he was thoughtful and caring, and the maids and servants were all at their fingertips. The layout of Zhao Zhu's room was the same as that of the other two master rooms, with everything for food and clothing.Lu Li entertained Yuan Lian with tea and water, "What's your surname? When did you come here? But what business do you need to do? If you need help, just call!"

Very enthusiastic.

Yuan Lian played the upright and dignified civil servant inspector with a blank face, and his heart was already in a mess.He is a military officer!I have been in the military camp since I was a child!Let him be the striker to engage in a hearty scolding battle with the opponent. He can scold people back into their mother's stomach, eat dozens of strings of roasted kidneys unrestrainedly, and fight with brothers and get drunk and pee standing up. The Yaozi dared to sing the Eighteenth Touch, which made the sisters of Yao feel ashamed and flustered. This civil servant can't pretend to be a fan by citing scriptures!

It's okay to talk less and show off for a while, just like when I went out in Chengdu Mansion back then, I couldn't hold it for a long time!And it doesn't matter if this princess doesn't pay attention, once she pays attention... Those bright eyes that can't be deceived by anything, that wise and astute reasoning ability, that heart-shattering autopsy skill...

He will be dissected by the princess, he will definitely be dissected, starting from the shoulders and cutting down, the stomach is cut open——

Yuan Lian was so frightened that he wished he could jump on the beam and drag Xing Zuo down to beat him up, making him old!

"grown ups?"

As soon as she regained consciousness, the princess was blinking her big clear eyes, waiting for his answer.At this time, it is a taboo to be in a daze, and it is easy to arouse suspicion!

Yuan Lian slapped himself from the bottom of his heart and scolded himself for being stupid, "Oh, I—"

Unexpectedly, he was overly frightened, so he just didn't speak, but when he spoke, his voice trembled so shrill, it was even scarier than the eunuch's voice next to the concubine in the palace!

Xing Zuo covered his eyes on the beam... He couldn't bear to look at it at all!

This is still famous, known as the number one mad dog under King Ping, and no one dares to provoke the ghost, Commander Chouyuan!

Zhao Zhu also felt ashamed, so he pulled Lu Li to sit down, "His name is Yuan Lian, and he is my...friend." The commander is not too big, but the power is not small. He said that his subordinates are a bit inappropriate, although He is.

Yuan Lian nodded immediately, "Yes, friend, we are friends, I can die for...Brother Zhao!" He wanted to express his friendship, and he was one of his own, so he could completely trust this point. Unexpectedly, Lu Li was even more puzzled after hearing this. , "Die for Brother Zhao..." Not to mention the tone of a loyal subordinate, Yuan Lian seems to be older than Zhao Zhu...

Zhao Zhu clicked his tongue lightly, and nodded to Lu Li, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Although Yuan Lian is a procurator, he has a very blind personality in private. He and I are best friends. He doesn't pay attention to etiquette. We will get along with him in the future. As usual."

Lu Li always felt that Zhao Zhu's expression was a little hard, as if he was on the verge of collapse... or an outbreak, so he looked at Yuanlian suspiciously, "Really?"

Yuan Lian nodded immediately, "That's right, Mr. Lu doesn't need to see outsiders at all!"

Lu Li always felt that there was something strange about it, but the token was real, and he admitted it himself, Zhao Zhu would never lie to him, so he didn't mention it any more, thinking about what to do with the case at hand.

He stretched out his hand and tugged on Zhao Zhu's sleeve, and winked at him quietly: How much can you tell Yuan Lian about the current matter?

Zhao Zhu's expression was serious: all of them.

Lu Li heaved a sigh of relief, the relationship between the two was so good that there was no secret, obviously Yuan Lian was extremely trustworthy. "I remember that in the first month of the first month, my lord went to investigate and solve the bank corruption case in Chengdu Mansion in person. His calm, decisive and resolute actions are really admirable. At the beginning, my friend and I were also involved in the case, but we just got out when the lord went, and we didn't get to see him. , What a pity."

Yuan Lian scratched the back of his head, rejoicing in his heart that when the case was being tried, the governor who wanted to cleanse himself was allowed to hide behind the screen, otherwise he would not be able to react if he was caught by Lu Li at other times, "Yes, hehe, yes .”

Zhao Zhu took a cool look, Yuan Lian's hands and feet were stiff and he didn't understand.

Hong Youxin, who was hanging outside the window, gestured at him: Pay attention to your words and deeds!

Yuan Lian immediately straightened his back, yes, now he is a civil servant inspector...

Several people in the room were worried, but Lu Li didn't notice it at all, talking about the matter of the Chengdu Mansion, "Your Excellency investigated this corruption case, do you know there is something hidden in it?"

Yuan Lian carefully probed, "Young Master Lu is referring to—"

"My lord, you don't need to be polite, just call me Lu Li." Lu Li said solemnly, "I accidentally obtained clues related to the money embezzlement case, a secret account and a register, and the inside story is very deep. I am fortunate to meet you, and I will hand over the dark account roster to you later..."

The prince had already copied a copy of the hidden account book, Yuan Lianxin said that he had it now, but the princess didn't know, he couldn't reveal it, so he immediately agreed, "You just leave it to me, I will definitely check it out!"

Yuan Jia's momentum was very upright, and Lu Li was very happy. Remembering that he hadn't introduced himself yet, he explained who he was, where he came from, and what skills he had.

Zhao Zhu felt sorry for Lu Li's fatigue, so he personally held a pot of tea to moisten his throat with him, and occasionally stuffed him with snacks for his stomach.Yuan Lian's back was sweating when he heard this, and he really wanted to say that all his subordinates know that Princess, don't be tired!

After finally finishing speaking, Lu Li still did not rest, "There is also the case of Mr. Bai, I think so..."

He summarized all the clues so far, how to reason, what conclusions he had, and what method he wanted to use, and said them one by one.

Zhao Zhu had expected what Lu Li was thinking a long time ago, so he was not surprised. Yuan Lian heard it for the first time, his eyes were as big as copper bells, the princess really dared to think!But if the concubine's deduction is correct, this plan is really good...

Yuan Lian quickly echoed Lu Li's strategy and expressed his cooperation.

The big thing is settled, it is the matter of the Eight Treasure Hairpin. Lu Li mentioned Shen Wansha's discovery of the mechanism, "There were too many people in the room at the time, and the young master didn't try it himself. Is there any mechanism, and if so, what is hidden in it? Verification required."

Zhao Zhu tapped the table with his fingertips, "It's not difficult, just go there at night."

Shen Wansha waited for a long time but couldn't wait for anyone. He was so hungry that he came to Zhao Zhu's room to call for someone. Then they left and went to eat in the living room.Lu Li introduced Yuan Lian to Shen Wansha. Shen Wansha was a little surprised at such a coincidence, but it was good to be helpful to his own people. He quickly accepted the fact that he had a friend as an envoy.

Afterwards, everyone was busy separately, and at night, Zhao Zhu went to Bai's mansion at night, and smoothly took out the whole set of jewelry including the eight-treasure hairpin from Mrs. Bai's room.

Sure enough, there are organs.

This set of jewelry is made of gold and jade with precious stones. There are large carved flowers on the hairpins, the petals are complicated and the stamens are distinct, and the workmanship is exquisite.Shen Wansha hugged and studied for a while, and found that the mechanism was on the stamen, carefully twisting left and right, the jewelry made a light sound, and the hairpin lengthened.

The bottom of the hairpin is made of gold, but it is hollow, and there is something inside!

So is another hairpin!

The faces of several people changed, and they carefully took them out to check one by one.

Inside the hairpin was a letter, written by Bai Mingtao himself and with his seal.

Eight years ago, Chen suddenly received a letter saying that his old friend was about to die, and he was entrusted with keeping something, which might cause a catastrophe.I don't know if it was because of this, all kinds of people appeared around him one after another, it was a bit weird, he didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit of information, and kept it carefully, hoping that the storm would pass.

As a government official, he always encountered various things. Two years ago, he encountered an unusual case of embezzlement of money.The water inside was very deep. Not only could he not find the culprit and punish him, he even had no clue at all.To be a man, to be an official, you must have a conscience. Once you find it, you can't just ignore it. If there is no evidence, he will go to find it, even if the water is deep, he will not be afraid!

With the feeling that if you can't enter the tiger's den, you can't get a tiger's cub, he pretended to look for and join the corrupt organization to join forces. After a long time, he finally got some clues.When he got the clue, he began to have a bad feeling...

Bai Mingtao wrote the cause and effect, as well as where the evidence was hidden, in the letter. If Daoming had nothing to do with him, he would bring the villain to justice himself. help……

The writing of this letter is sometimes hesitant, sometimes decisive, it can be seen that Bai Mingtao is very conflicted.He hid the things well and wanted someone with good morals to find out, preferably his wife, so he explained the cause and effect and where the evidence is; he was also worried that the letter would fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives, and all the places involving names were not written. .For example, he knew that there were ulterior motives in the people around him, but he didn't write it down. He probably thought that even if the letter was discovered by the bad guys, because there was no real thing, it would not implicate the Bai family who kept it.

There must be a lot of hesitation between the choices, and it is very difficult.

After reading it, Lu Li sighed deeply, "Master Bo...has a good intention."

Zhao Zhu nodded, "It's admirable."

Hidden in the hairpin is a piece of silk with various lines on it, but it is a map.

"Treasure map?" Lu Li was shocked.

"Probably." Zhao Zhu looked at it carefully, "It's just that this picture is only a small part, and it's really hard to see where it is."

"Could it be that the treasure map is kept scattered?" That is to say, there are other parts of the treasure map in other places. If you don't find all the treasure maps, don't even try to get the treasure?

"True treasures are hard to find." Zhao Zhu frowned and thought for a while, "Put it away and study it slowly."

"That's right, who knows if this treasure map is real or not, what if it's just a gimmick?" Lu Li curled his lips, the most important thing now is the case.He tugged at Zhao Zhu's sleeve, "I've found out the ambiguous and incomprehensible parts of the case, and we'll get someone to ask for a confession tomorrow!"

Zhao Zhu agreed, "Okay."

"Send the jewelry to Mrs. Bai first..."
