Cannon fodder beauty master awakens

The secret door leading to the study was slowly unscrewed under the action of the mechanism, and dust rushed in.

Jiang Yi covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve robe, and looked up into the room.

It was completely dark outside, only a few or two faint moonlight came in and shone on a table leaning against the window.

Pei Xiangyun has been tense ever since he entered this study, now he was relieved to see no one, and whispered: "Master, the county magistrate is not here."

"It'll be here in a while."

Jiang Yi concluded that the false county magistrate would not let go of the clues of this house. Whether he wanted to run away or be eliminated, it was impossible for him and the people behind the scenes not to go back to the study to transfer or destroy the evidence.

He opened the book on the carved wooden table under the moonlight, and found that it was a thick ledger.

The account book seems to have been used for a while, and the front half of the book was turned so that the footer curled up.

Jiang Yi searched from front to back, and stopped on one page.

The previous accounts were neatly written in both Chinese characters and numbers, but this page was slightly different from the previous one.

The last stroke of those Chinese characters seems to be flying, but it is suppressed halfway by life, learning to be as obedient as the previous handwriting, but it seems to be separated from the whole character, which is very inconsistent.

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, and flipped through the page again, and found that the handwriting on the next page or two still carried a bit of this "flying" meaning, but after about ten pages, it completely disappeared. It is exactly the same as the handwriting of the first half.

He turned back to the page where the handwriting began to change, and carefully checked what account he remembered this time.

"In the ninth year of Hongwen, there was a flood in Longzhou, Chengdeng County received disaster relief funds... silver ingots... used to repair the houses of the people..."

Is this about the whereabouts of flood relief funds in Chengdeng County?

Jiang Yi's eyes darkened, trying to identify the written evidence that was deliberately blacked out, but unfortunately found that it was not clear at all.

He sighed softly, closed the ledger, prepared to study it carefully later, and was about to look at other documents on the table, when he heard Pei Xiangyun whisper: "Master..."

"what happened?"

Jiang Yi turned around and saw the wolf cub standing in front of the bookcase, his mouth half-opened, a little more stupid for no reason.

He raised his eyebrows and walked to the bookcase, but his eyes were dazzled by a reflection.

With a few books in his hands, Pei Xiangyun swallowed, "Master, it's gold."

Jiang Yi frowned and looked into the bookcase, and found a faint golden light shining in the gap where Pei Xiangyun opened the books.

He reached out and pushed aside the book next to him, and the thing hidden behind the scroll finally revealed its real body.

It was a wall made of golden bricks, neatly piled up in the bookcases one by one, and covered with scrolls on the outside, usually there is nothing wrong with it.

"Master..." Pei Xiangyun's voice trembled a little, probably because he had never seen so much money in his life, "I...are these golds real?"

Jiang Yi's face became more serious.

He randomly took out a gold brick, looked carefully at the moonlight for a moment, and found that there was a relief-like pattern on the back.

It looked like the head of some wild beast, with its mouth growing and roaring.

It is exactly the same as the pattern on the Naus Assassin's Knife.

Jiang Yi understood, and slowly put the gold brick back: "This is not the gold brick in Dayan's treasury."

Pei Xiangyun didn't understand: "What?"

"It's okay..." Jiang Yi said, "Put the book back and wait for him to come back by himself."

-

The more Mu Hongcai thought about it, the more strange it became.

He originally set up a bureau outside Longzhou City according to the instructions of "that lord", and thought that he could easily deal with this so-called "young prime minister", but he didn't expect that all of them would come to Chengdeng County.

That lord has great powers, knowing that Prime Minister Dayan will return to Yandu from Longxi to report on his duties at this time, perhaps he also expected that his first interception would not be successful, so he gave him a second tip, which was written about him tonight. This table of wine and food is set.

Mu Hongcai had never dealt with this young prime minister, but seeing that Jiang Yi was very young, not as godlike as in the legend, he was ignored at the beginning of the banquet, but after drinking two glasses, he found that something was wrong. Something seems to be going wrong.

The medicine in the wine is used for animals to arouse love, but Jiang Yi's medicinal properties did not take effect after drinking, which made him feel a little flustered.

What made him even more flustered was that the man proposed to have a drinking order with him, and he was scammed out of his loopholes after a few clicks. He could only leave the dark room temporarily, locked the door behind him, and activated the third trick.

It was the strategy that the adult told him not to use as a last resort.

Mu Hongcai's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat. He wrote a note and tied it to the pigeon's feet. After walking around the shack in the backyard for a long time, he realized something was wrong.

Now that he can live in rich clothes and fine food, he cannot do without the secret management of that adult.

Now that he is not doing well, will that lord stop giving these benefits in the future?

No, not just benefits.

Maybe his life is gone.

As soon as Mu Hongcai thought of this, he couldn't sit still immediately, and ran to the county magistrate's mansion.

He had to put away all the key evidence so that he could negotiate terms with that lord, maybe he could get a chance of survival.

Mu Hongcai thought so, and took two strangely shaped keys from his waist.He inserted one of them into the keyhole and turned it half a turn, then changed the other and turned it the other half turn.

The mechanism sounded softly, and the plain-looking carved wooden door slowly slid back, revealing a gap.

Mu Hongcai pushed the door open and walked quickly into the study, but suddenly heard a voice from the darkness: "Magistrate Mu, I have been waiting so hard for you."

The voice was neither too fast nor too slow, and even had a bit of a smile on it, but when it fell in Mu Hongcai's ears, it sounded like thunder, making his heart tense, and he almost knelt on the ground with weak legs.

The gas lamp on the table was lit by someone, and the dim light slowly spread throughout the study, illuminating the faces of the people beside the table.

The folding fan in Jiang Yi's hand knocked on the edge of the table one after another, and those beautiful eyes fell on Mu Hongcai's face: "The county magistrate Mu said that he wanted to have a drink with me, but the half-passers disappeared. I'm here I waited in the dark room for a long time but didn't wait for you to come back. I was very anxious, so I came out to look for you without authorization. County Magistrate Mu won't mind, right?"

Mu Hong swallowed his saliva, and stammered, "Your Excellency, I really have something important to do, so I left the table halfway. If Mr. Jiang minds, I will apologize to you here, my official... ..."

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Yi propped his cheeks with great interest, and changed into a more comfortable posture, as if he was chatting with him about family affairs: "Will you tip off the Us people?"

Mu Hongcai's fat face suddenly turned pale.

There was an imperceptible ruthlessness in his eyes, but his voice was still flattering: "What is Mr. Jiang talking about? The officials have always been upright and upright, so how could they collude with the Us people in private?"

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows and remained silent. Pei Xiangyun, who had been standing behind him, slowly stepped forward and threw something in front of Mu Hongcai.

The thing fell to the ground with a "plop", and slowly rolled to Mu Hongcai's feet.Mu Hongcai lowered his head slowly, just in time to bump into a pair of eyes that were dying.

These eyes were still very beautiful when they were alive, but now they have completely lost their vitality, set in the eye sockets like two lifeless glazed beads.

"This this……"

"This is the maid who was arranged by County Magistrate Mu to pour wine for us at the banquet just now..." Jiang Yi said, "You look familiar, right? County Magistrate Mu won't tell me now that she is a spy who sneaked into the county magistrate's mansion." , you don’t know at all, do you?”

The rhetoric that Mu Hongcai finally came up with was slowly broken down, his face turned from pale to iron blue, his fat lips were trembling uncontrollably, his eyes flicked all over the room, not knowing where to fall.

Jiang Yi had a full view of his terrified appearance, leaned back in the chair, and squeezed the space between his eyebrows: "Just now I checked the ledger of County Magistrate Mu on my own, and found something very interesting."

"The handwriting of this account book before June of the ninth year of Hongwen is beautiful and neat, as pleasing to the eye as the large characters of the movable type printing plate mold, but the handwriting of the flood disaster suddenly becomes a little more wild..."

Jiang Yi pushed the ledger beside his hand forward, and turned over the page that he had marked earlier, "The strokes and strokes in it all have the feeling of leaping dragons and snakes in cursive script, but the person who uses the brush deliberately restrains the wild meaning, which leads to The structure of these characters became nondescript, and it was not until October of the ninth year of Hongwen that the handwriting gradually became the same as before June, why is this?"

Mu Hongcai slowly clenched his hand hanging by his side, and said in a low voice, "What does Mr. Jiang mean? Don't let the officials hate regular script and start imitating Zhang Changshi's cursive script?"

"Just now at the banquet, County Magistrate Mu couldn't match the poems. Let's say he hasn't read poetry and books for a long time. And this account book with changed handwriting may be like the Magistrate Mu said, he is studying Zhang Changshi's cursive script... "

Jiang Yi said indifferently, "Then may I ask why there are three secret passages built in the county magistrate's mansion, and why there is another person who looks exactly like the county magistrate Mu hidden in this secret passage?"

If Mu Hongcai was just panicking before, after Jiang Yi said this, he really fell to the bottom of the valley with his heart.

Sweat poured down his forehead like rain, and even his collar was wet from the cold winter.

Those three secret passages were built according to the drawings given by the lord, and they were the source of all his sense of security.

Even though something unpredictable happened, Mu Hongcai always believed that he could save himself from danger by relying on these three secret paths.

How did he know?

Mu Hongcai looked at Jiang Yi with horror in his eyes, and before he could speak, he listened to the man say: "Don't worry, the wall made of gold bricks in Mu County Magistrate's study has never been seen in my office for many years." I have seen it, and now I have really learned a lot.”

As if to confirm what he said, Pei Xiangyun weighed a long knife he had just found in the house, and slashed at the bookcase.

The seemingly solid wooden cabinet was torn apart under the blade, and sawdust shattered all over the floor.The scroll "cracked" on the ground, revealing the wall of gold bricks behind it.
