Chapter 122

That night, Qin mubai asked Liao Lirong to draw a pledge on his confession, and rushed back to Jishan County overnight. The judicial system of the Tang Dynasty was perfect. Except for the county yamen, Dali temple and Yushitai at all levels, other organizations and individuals could not set up private courts to question cases. But Qin mubai is a special case. He was sent by the emperor, which means the same as the imperial envoy. When the imperial envoy arrived at the place, all the officials at all levels met the emperor as if they wanted to refuse to accept the soft and plead guilty.

With the confession and the witness, Qin Mu Bai still has some doubts: even Liao Li Rong doesn't know where the account book is, where will it go? The more mysterious it is, the more valuable it is. Now it seems that the case has been settled, only a piece of imperial order from the emperor is needed. We can arrest Zhang Tianci, the Marquis of Shengnan, and Cheng Songnian, the governor of Jiangzhou.

But Qin mubai always felt vaguely that this case was not as simple as it seemed. What's hidden in a mysterious and missing account book? Has this account book already been obtained by Cheng Songnian, or does it not exist at all?

On the way back, Qin mubai and Chen Yan are still in the carriage. The others followed on horseback. Qin mubai thought about the case, while Chen Yan kept her eyes shut. They said almost nothing all the way.

It's almost time to get to Jishan county. It's already dawn.

"Here we are, Chen Yan." Qin mubai said, "do you really want to follow me? The barracks are full of men. How inconvenient. "

"Who do you think dares to provoke me?" Chen Yan casually sneered, "besides, I'm your general Qin's sister, who dares to provoke me?"

"You are clever. That's all. It's up to you. In fact, I can rest assured that I'll take you with me, so that you won't go to find Sheng nanhou and others for revenge. " Qin mubai said as he got off.

"I'd like to talk to you. If you want to bring it, it's inconvenient. Why such nonsense?" Chen Yan also got out of the car.

There are more than 5000 troops stationed in Jiangzhou Prefecture, which is not small in scale. Although it's a temporary camp, it's also high in the pagoda of the ten mile banner. It's in an orderly line, and there's an endless stream of horses and vehicles carrying military funds.

The first time Chen Yan went to such a place, she couldn't help looking around. The big soldiers were staying in the barracks all day, and saw that almost all the chickens and ducks were female. At this time, they suddenly saw a beautiful woman, whose eyes almost showed green light. If it wasn't for her following Qin mubai, she would have been eaten by a group of thirsty men.

"Man, it's not a good thing!" Chen Yan spat, obviously a little angry.

"It's not the woman who's got it?" Qin mubai said with a smile, "don't talk about it. The king's account has arrived."

Li Ke is sitting in a magnificent camp with a flag of Li character flying high, which is much bigger than the general army tent. He is listening to the soldiers and officials under his command report on the recent disaster relief. At this time, the soldiers reported that Qin mubai had come back and asked to see the king of Wu.

"Oh, mubai is back. Let him in." Li Ke said casually.

Qin mubai goes in with Chen Yan. Everyone was surprised when they saw Chen Yan. One is amazing, and the other is confused - how did Qin mubai disappear for two days and suddenly bring a woman into the military camp?

"Yes, your highness." Qin mubai saluted Chen Yan and said, "still in a daze, come and salute your highness!"

Chen Yan glared at Qin mubai, stepped forward and saluted with her sword and Fist: "I've seen your Royal Highness the king of Wu."

"Oh, who is that?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"I asked for leave yesterday just to pick her up." Qin mubai said. "This is Chen Yan. I'll give you a present

"Dare not, dare not!" As soon as they heard that it was Qin mubai's "righteous sister", the officers and generals in the audience immediately changed their faces and showed respect to Chen Yan. They quickly bowed their hands and saluted her.

"Yi Mei What a chivalrous sister, not bad. " Li Ke's smile became more and more ambiguous. He waved his hand and said, "let's step back first!"

The officials withdrew the interesting ones, leaving only three people in the account.

"Mubai, you are good!" Li Ke stood up and walked to Chen Yan, walked around her two times, looked at her carefully, and said with a smile, "I've only been out for a day or two, so I took a sister back. It's developing so fast! "

"Your Highness, you are mistaken!" Qin Mu Bai smiles bitterly and shakes his head. Just waiting for the argument, Chen Yan speaks.

"Your Highness, King Wu, is a royal relative and noble. Don't you pretend state affairs in your mind and only have some romantic ideas?" Chen Yan sneered and said, "I don't know what is righteousness? I'm his sister, but I can stand the word

Li Ke's face suddenly stagnated in embarrassment. Dry cough a way: "Mu Bai, you this younger sister Sharp lips, spicy enough

"Her sword is probably more powerful than her tongue." Qin mubai said with a smile, "so, your highness can offend anyone. But don't mess with her. To tell you the truth, this is the widow of Zhu Chengwen, the former magistrate of Jishan county. "

"What?" Li Ke is terrified. He quickly changes his face and gives a gift to Chen Yan. "It's my sister-in-law. Xiao Wang doesn't know why. Please forgive me if you don't offend meIn fact, with Li Ke's dignity, there is no need to be polite to a magistrate's wife. But the dead are the greatest, and the undead are respected. Great emphasis on etiquette, li ke a prince molested the widow. It's not so nice to get out.

"Don't be so polite, your highness." Chen Yan said coldly, "I'm just a rude woman wandering in the river and lake. I don't know the etiquette, so I can't be regarded as your Highness's great gift."

Qin Mu Bai turned his lips to Li Ke: "the people of the river and lake don't care about trifles. Your highness will get used to it slowly."

"Cough!..." Li Ke gave a dry cough. "What's the harvest of mubai's trip?" he said

"Fair." Qin mubai showed Liao Lirong's confession to Li Ke and said, "it's just that I don't know where the account book is, even Liao Lirong doesn't know. Your highness, do you think there is no such book at all? Or rather. Cheng Songnian and others have already taken away this important evidence or destroyed it? "

"Hard to say..." Li Ke frowned and said, "I just want to be sure. In fact, without this account book, their crimes are also irrefutable. It's just the money allocated by the imperial court. Where every penny goes, it's necessary to find out the whole story. If there is such an account book, it is likely to involve many people. If it falls into the hands of evil people, it will bring endless harm. Instead of this, we should take the initiative. "

"Your Highness is thoughtful and has a point." Qin mubai nodded deeply. The important material evidence of such a huge case. If someone with a bad heart holds it in his hand and knows the secret, he can use it to coerce many people. Who knows how many officials and petty officials are involved in this case? Who can imagine that this simple book of accounts will set off another storm in the future?

Li Ke thought for a moment. She said to Chen Yan, "madam, what important things did you give to you before I killed my husband?"

"Do you want to ask me if I keep this book?" Chen Yan slightly tilted her chin to Qin mubai, "he has already asked, don't bother your highness."

Li Ke looks at Qin mubai, who shakes his head.

"Now, I hope there is no such book in the world, or we can find him as soon as possible." Li Ke breathed slowly and said leisurely.

It seems that, like Qin mubai, he also has some unknowns about this account book.

A moment later. Three people are sitting in the tent drinking tea rest, the pawn to report, said Jiangzhou Shengnan Hou visit.

"He came to the door on his own initiative?" Qin Mu Bai is a little surprised of way, "the courage is not small."

Chen Yan is cold hum a, hold the sword in the hand tightly some.

"Why don't you avoid it?" Qin mubai said. "I'll send you an army account, and you'll rest there."

"I'll send two more eunuchs to serve you." Li Ke said.

"No need. I'm used to being alone Chen Yan gets up and leaves.

"What a woman with a personality." Qin mubai and Li Ke shook their heads and said with a smile.

Shengnan Marquis went into the king's tent and kowtowed to Li Ke. His appearance is no more than thirty. He is of medium build. He is not ugly or disgusting. The expression and manner are also very low-key and courteous. After being given a seat by Li Ke, he looked frightened and flattered. Although he knelt down, he was upright.

"Sheng nanhou really has a heart." Li Ke said with a smile, "I have been in Jiangzhou for two months. Although I see you for the first time, I have heard your name of Qingshan for a long time. Unfortunately, Jiangzhou suffered from the flood this time. You have donated countless grains, rice and cold clothes. You also called on the local gentry to help the imperial court in disaster relief. The benefit lies in Qianshou and the contribution lies in the country! When I return to the court, I will ask for your merit and reward in front of my father

"Your Highness, that's ridiculous!" Zhang Tianci, the Marquis of Shengnan, bows his hand to Li Ke in a hurry and whispers carefully, "everything of Xiao Hou is rewarded by the emperor. Now that Jiangzhou is in disaster, the emperor's people are in trouble. The chicks still know how to feed back. Xiao Hou should do such a thing. "

"Good. As a matter of fact, the Marquis of Shengnan is a worthy good minister. " Li Ke said with a smile of appreciation, "come and see!"

A eunuch came out with a plate of yellow and white things and presented them to Zhang Tianci's desk.

"This Xiao Hou dare not receive a reward. " Zhang Tianci's smile seems to be a little honest and embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not short of money. Your highness, you'd better give the money to those who have made great contributions to disaster relief."

Qin mubai stood beside Li Ke with his sword. At this time, he couldn't help sneering: this man is very good at acting. The trick of deceiving the superior and the inferior must have been practiced thoroughly. It seems to be loyal and good, but in fact it is treacherous and false. If you don't know the root of him. It's easy to be cheated by his appearance!
