How to work

The night was quiet and the moon was quiet, and the clapper rang three times, and it was midnight.

Bai Mingtao's study was locked without a seal.The iron lock as big as a fist did not bother Zhao Zhu, he did not know where he took out two super thin bamboo sticks, lightly reached into the keyhole and picked left and right a few times, the iron lock opened with a light click.

Lu Li was on the sidelines watching out in fear, seeing Zhao Zhu's speed so fast, he couldn't help but give his thumbs up.

Zhao Zhu only raised his eyebrows, pushed open the door the next moment, grabbed Lu Li's waist, brought the person in, and closed the door.

The sound of chains gradually faded away, and Lu Li patted his chest, suddenly feeling much safer.It's just that the study is too dark, and the lights can't be turned on. How can I find things?

He began to wonder if this idea was a bit stupid, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu had a look of contempt of "the day lily will be cold when you think about it", and the old god took out something from his bosom.

The pearl, the size of a baby's fist, exudes a bright and soft light, as light as moonlight, as clear as running water, not dazzling, but enough to help people see things, it is actually a night pearl!

Lu Li covered his mouth.

Isn't this kind of legendary thing only appearing in novels and TV shows!

The young man opened his eyes and stared at Ye Mingzhu closely, with an expression of a bumpkin who had never seen the world, but Zhao Zhu didn't dislike it, and asked slowly, "Pretty good?"

Lu Li immediately nodded, "It looks good!"

"like?"

"Yeah!" Who wouldn't like such a beautiful little thing!

Zhao Zhu stuffed the beads into Lu Li's hand, "Here you are."

It never occurred to Lu Li that Zhao Zhu meant to give him the beads, because no one would give such a valuable thing casually, and he probably just borrowed it from him, so he happily caught it, "Then get closer to me, You can't see clearly from a distance."

The young man has crooked eyebrows and a bright smile. It is just a bead, but it seems to have the whole world.

It's so coaxing.

Zhao Zhu thought to himself, he would have to ask Yuan Lian to bring over the box of beads later, he remembered that there were nearly a hundred beads in the box, and there were also colors such as jade white, light pink, gold...the boy must like it.

This little bit makes him happy, he will definitely like himself, and he can't do without himself... No matter how bad it is, if he spoils his taste, no one in this world can afford him except himself, so he has to like it if he doesn't like it .

Zhao Zhu was very satisfied with his idea.

Lu Li carefully flipped through the files in the study, trying to see if he could find anything. Remembering that Zhao Zhu was very good at finding secrets in the Ciguang Temple, he asked him, "Master Bai is very human, if there is a secret, it will probably not be a big hit." Shixiu, try to find if there is a place to hide things in this study?"

Zhao Zhu nodded in agreement.

At first Lu Li still cared about getting closer to Zhao Zhu, so as not to see him, flipping through the file and sinking in, he took the beads and only cared about himself.

Bai Mingtao's case was mostly official business that the governor needed to handle, but there was a strange stack of resumes on the corner of the desk.

Peng Yuanhe, Lang Guangqi, Xu Jianbai...

He had seen these names in the mansion newspaper. They were all foreign officials with real power, and their ranks were neither high nor small. Bai Mingtao collected their resumes... in order to transfer them to his subordinates?

But these people have good political achievements, good abilities and promising prospects, will they be obedient to be subordinates?Bai Mingtao shouldn't be stupid, he would do such a thing to create a competitor for himself...

Zhao Zhu knocked on a dark cell and found a box that was three inches long, two inches wide, and two inches deep. He shook his hands and frowned slightly.Looking back, seeing that Lu Li was still in his original posture, he walked over to look at the things in his hand.

After watching for a while, the frown deepened, "Bai Mingtao didn't intend to second these people."

"That's right, you also feel this way!" Lu Li turned his head, not wanting Zhao Zhu to see how close he was to the dossier in his hand, he turned his head and almost brushed Zhao Zhu's side face.

The temperature on Zhao Zhu's face was as warm as his hands, very warm.He said that he once served as a soldier outside the customs, where the wind and sand were very strong, but his skin was not rough, it seemed to have a smell of sunshine, clean and refreshing.

Lu Li was stunned.

Zhao Zhu only felt warmth on the side of his cheek, and a moist and smooth touch came over him, it was Lu Li's lips.It is clear and slightly cool, as if it has the breath of green grass.

His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and the blood in his body was scalding uncontrollably.

It was an accident, but it felt very good.

Zhao Zhu looked at Lu Li quietly, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes.

Lu Li knew he was wrong, touched his nose and turned his face away, "Well, I didn't know you were behind me."

Although Zhao Zhu thought about it very much, thinking that it was Lu Li who was hinting at him, but after the big fight last time, he knew that Lu Li really didn't mean it... His anger came out little by little.

Fortunately, the shy look of the young man is also very eye-catching, and the timing is not right now, Zhao Zhu let Lu Li go, "Bai Mingtao should be investigating them." He felt that there would never be such a considerate prince in the hundreds of years. .

"Did they commit a crime?" Lu Li returned his attention and thought about the mansion newspaper he had read before, but there was nothing in it... He looked at Zhao Zhu with a puzzled expression on his face.

Zhao Zhu is like a roundworm in his stomach, he can always guess what he is thinking, "There is no point in the Di Bao, but Bai Mingtao collected their files in advance, it should be suspected that they have done something but there is no evidence, and he wants to find out. Link verification."

"Does this have anything to do with his death?" Lu Li felt a little headache. If other local officials were involved, the case might not be that simple.

Zhao Zhu handed the box he just found to Lu Li, "There is a hidden compartment in the corner."

"Where did you find it?" Lu Li opened the box and almost dropped it in shock.

It was full of large-value bank notes, a dozen thick, and he didn't need to touch it, he knew that the amount here definitely exceeded 100 million taels.

"Why so much money!"

Zhao Zhu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something, "Bai Mingtao...has been doing well in his political performance, and he has never had a bad official reputation or bribery scandal."

However, it is impossible to hide such a large sum of money by doing business in an orderly manner.Lu Li's forehead was sweating, and his vest felt cold. The money came from an unusual source.

Bai Mingtao died tragically. He was a friend of his father's life. He didn't want to doubt Bai Mingtao...

Zhao Zhu sighed, "Actually, there is one thing I didn't say. In the list of account books brought out from the investigation in the Chengdu Mansion earlier, one...is related to Bai Mingtao."

Lu Li's expression was a little stunned, "Huh?"

Zhao Zhu left Lu Li angrily, and has not been idle all the time. He checked the list of accounts copied from Lu Li, trying to follow the clues to see what he could find. He always felt that this case of embezzling money was not easy.As a result, after further investigation, it was found that each floor had set up multiple obscuring puzzles. So far, he has only caught a few small minions on the periphery, officials at the level of the governor, and found two. One of them was this Bai Mingtao.

So he said that he didn't come here just for Lu Li this time, he was telling the truth.

"I have recovered some memories, and remembered that I was entrusted to investigate an incident... related to the corruption case." Zhao Zhu made up nonsense without blinking his eyes, "This case involves a lot of money, before I figure out the context, We can only investigate secretly."

"Case of embezzlement of money?" Lu Li was very surprised that he was involved in the previous case?Apart from other things, he trusted Zhao Zhu very much. Zhao Zhu said that Bai Mingtao was related to the money corruption case, and it must be related. "Then these bank notes are stolen money?"

Zhao Zhu shook his head, "There is no evidence, so it's hard to make a conclusion."

Lu Li thinks so too...

It was late, and today's harvest was quite rich. He felt that he had to go back and think about it.Putting everything back and tidying up, Lu Li let Zhao Zhu hold him and left.

When the cool wind was blowing, he asked Zhao Zhu, "This money corruption case...can you tell me what you know? It's just that it's not so easy to make money by accepting bribes from rich people and businessmen...Whoever has nothing to do all day long always wants to mess with me?" The government will go to prison?"

"Naturally." Zhao Zhu's voice was floating, and Shen Yeli had a murderous look, "The case of embezzlement of silver is related to the transportation of salt."

……

Shen Wansha is indeed just like what he said. He has been in casinos for many years and has a very good eye. The casinos he found are of high grade, large places, clear divisions, satisfying various customer groups, and safety is very guaranteed.

Shen Wansha winked to tell Hong You to stay away, and played all the way from the bottom to the top, listening to the gossip, and the higher the level, the more exciting the gossip.

He listens first when needed.

For example, on the day of Bai Mingtao's death, low-level idlers and slick bastards who did odd jobs provided very important clues: the carriage was moving very steadily at first, and it was a rivers and lakes man wearing a blue shirt and a bunt passing by, and the horse driving the carriage was stimulated. Wanting to compete with this horse, he ran hastily. How can a horse that pulls a cart be faster than a horse that pulls people?The horse was in a hurry, and when it turned a corner, it bumped into it unsteadily, and it was startled immediately.The speed of the carriage was too fast, it couldn't be stabilized in an accident, no one else had time to rescue it, the driver fell half his life and he still hasn't woken up yet, it's normal for Master Bai who was sitting in the carriage to die.

Few of the wealthy businessmen in the middle discussed the cause of Bai Mingtao's death. They just thought that Bai Mingtao was very good in office. Unfortunately, he set up a name to ask for money, and he did things fairly. Their business is very good. It would be great if the next governor is also as good up...

While Shen Wansha happily won the money, he listened with his ears open until he sat in the box on the top floor to play with the richer and more prestigious.It's a pity that these people are very smart and don't know how to talk nonsense.After sitting for a while but unable to get any news, Shen Wansha felt bored, so he accused him of going to change clothes.

He wasn't making excuses casually, his lower abdomen was indeed a little bloated and needed to be resolved.

Walking along the corridor until he reached the innermost and remotest room, he had to turn a corner before he came. He heard someone talking in the box and mentioned the word 'Bai Mingtao'.

The voices of the people in the room were very low, revealing an energy of caution, as if there was some secret...

Shen Wansha subconsciously stopped, leaning his head to the window.

"The Rising Dragon Meeting is coming soon... Bai Mingtao is dead... the whereabouts of things are unknown... what should I do?"

"You don't know if the news you bought from Bao Ququ is accurate...in case the lucky draw...has nothing to do with Bai Mingtao..."

"It must be related! Even if it is irrelevant, he must have taken something good, otherwise so many people would look for him... I think we should look for Bai Mingtao's remains... Who is it!"

Shen Wansha was thinking that he couldn't hear clearly and wanted to lean forward, when suddenly the people inside shouted loudly, thinking with his toes, he knew he had noticed himself!

He immediately looked outside - where is Hong You!

It's a pity that Hong You is nowhere to be seen.

God is going to kill me——Shen Wansha's small face wrinkled into a ball, wondering when the window opened, he said he didn't know the hut and asked if he could pass through smoothly?

When I heard it, I felt it was an excuse... Others are not fools.

Shen Wansha almost screamed, he really didn't lie, he really wanted to pee!

He was so worried, his mouth was suddenly covered, his waist tightened, and he was caught from behind!
