this is a centipede Pearl produced by the South Sea. It’s very precious and is a tribute. As a disciple of the Directorate of Celestials, Zhong Li’s knowledge of luxury goods far exceeded that of Xu baichan and the Holy Virgin of the heavenly sect.

Pocketing the tributes?

Xu Qi ‘an understood now. No wonder High Duke Cao had specially purchased a private residence to house these things.

Next, he took out the fragments of the Book of the Netherworld and kept all these precious items into the mirror world. For example, the fragile ones and porcelain ones were more troublesome.

“There’s a box here, put it in the box.” Li Miaozhen pointed to a corner deep in the cellar.

The box was opened.

Xu Qi ‘an was a little disappointed that there were no golden or silver lights.

There were stacks of secret letters in the box. Xu Qi ‘an opened them and read a few. His breathing suddenly became rapid.

He flipped through each and every one of them quickly. These secret letters were recorded by High Duke Cao, a record of corruption and abuse of the law.

Some of them could even be traced back to more than ten or twenty years ago, embezzling Tributes, embezling silver grain for disaster relief, occupying military fields … The people who colluded with him included civil officials, nobles, and members of the imperial family.

If these secret letters were exposed, it would definitely cause turmoil in the Imperial court, and countless people would fall into conflict.

“Give this to Lord Wei, give this secret letter to Lord Wei .

Xu Qi ‘an’s instinctive reaction was to pass the information to Wei Yuan so that he could gain more political power.

After a few seconds, he calmed down.

There was no rush. Even if he wanted to give it to Duke Wei, there was no rush. No, he couldn’t give all of it to Wei Yuan. He had to leave some for Erlang, who also needed political capital.

As he thought about it, he pulled out a secret letter from the bottom and started reading.

in the 15th year of yuanjing, we have joined forces with the king’s party, the Yan party, King Yu. and other noble relatives to eliminate su hang and completely eliminate him … The party, su hang beheaded, the female family members were transferred into the education workshop Division, and the male children were exiled. He accepted 8000 taels of silver each from the Yan party and the Wang party …”

Su hang … This name is so familiar … A thought flashed in Xu Qian’s mind and he heard li Miaozhen blurt out, “Su SU’s father .

In Xu Qi ‘an’s memory, Su SU’s father was called su hang. He was a scholar in the 29th year of the Jean dynasty and in the 14th year of the yuanjing dynasty. For some unknown reason, he was demoted to Jiangzhou as a prefect and executed the next year on charges of bribery and corruption.

Did SuSu’s father really die in a factional dispute, or did so many factions join forces?

“So they were the ones who killed SuSu’s father. The Yan faction, the king’s faction, as well as Prince Yu and the other noble relatives.” Li Miaozhen said angrily.

“No, there’s a big problem with this letter …” Xu Qi ‘an pointed at a blank spot on the secret letter and frowned. look, why is the front of the word ‘party’ blank? what party is completely eliminated? ‘

In front of the word “party,” there was a blank space, which was exactly the width of one word.

“Could there be some reason that made High Duke Cao so afraid that he didn’t write down which party?” Li Miaozhen guessed.

“If that’s the reason, he could’ve just not written it down or used a code name instead. Besides, we’ve already cleaned them up, so what’s there to be afraid of?” Xu Qi ‘an shook his head and denied li Miaozhen’s guess. He pointed to the secret letter and said, ‘

it’s more like there are words written here. It’s as if it was wiped away by some force, leaving a blank space.

Li Miaozhen frowned and tried to analyze it. After a long time, she erased the question marks from her mind and gave up thinking. She asked, ‘

“What do you think?”

Since there was an experienced and capable expert in deduction beside her, why did she need to use her own brain?

“What opinion can I have? just this bit of information is not enough to provide me with my hypothesis. Well, didn’t you say that you can’t find anything about SuSu’s father in Jiangzhou?

“Then let’s find an opportunity to go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice to investigate, or the Supreme Court. We’ll talk about it after we find more clues.”

Xu Qi ‘an sighed,”but one thing is for sure. Su SU’s father’s death was not simple.” It was definitely not normal corruption and bribery. It involved party disputes and many people. I feel that we can dig out a lot of things if we follow this line.”

Immediately, they put the porcelain into the box, and then put the box into the Book of the Earth fragments, sweeping away all the valuable things in the private house.

Of course, Xu Qi ‘an didn’t forget to take the land and house deeds with him.

He planned to sell this house and then buy a small courtyard near the Xu residence to raise the princess there.

The three of them returned to the Xu Manor. Susu was sitting on the roof, admiring the scenery, holding a bright red paper umbrella.

In the courtyard, Xu Lingyin, who had eaten and drunk her fill, was practicing boxing in a decent manner, tempering her qi and blood. She did not forget to dub for herself.Heh-Ho, heh-Ho!

Her two thin little eyebrows raised, and she made a fierce look.

Yan Caiwei and Lina were chatting idly by the side, guiding each other along the way.

Susu sat in the room and watched the show. The wind lifted her hair and her skirt. She was like a fairy, beautiful beyond compare.

Li Miaozhen stood in the courtyard, raised her head, and waved. “Su Su, come down. I have something to tell you.”

“Alright!”

Susu smiled sweetly and landed lightly on the ground.

The little boy pointed at susu and said to Lina and Caiwei,”l also want to learn this.”

“You can’t, you’re too fat.” Lina and Caiwei rejected him.

The little boy ignored them angrily and ran over to hug his big brother’s leg.

“Big brother, am I fat?” Xu lingying tried to regain confidence from his big brother.

“You’re not fat. You have a fatty liver.” Xu Qi ‘an touched her head.

“Mother is father’s little heart, and I am big brother’s fatty liver, right?” Xu lingying still remembered this conversation. Her big brother had told her about it before.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The little boy ran back to Lina and Yan Caiwei’s side and announced, “Mother is father’s little heart, and I am big brother’s tatty liver.”

“Shut up! ”

Her aunt came out of the house, her face red with embarrassment. She held a feather duster and chased Xu lingying all over the yard, but she couldn’t catch up ..

The Tao Wu howled in anger.

Xu Qi ‘an and the others entered the room. Li Miaozhen pressed susu down on the table and said with a serious expression, “”We have found some clues regarding your father’s execution.”

SuSu’s delicate body trembled visibly, and the corners of her mouth slowly smoothed out. Her lively and intelligent eyes were stunned, and then a flash of sadness and confusion flashed past.

Her eyes were misty as she looked at Xu Qi ‘an.. “You found it?”
