Lu Xiaohua and aunt Wu Ningwu entered Fenghe village after dark.
Lu Xiaohua is really deliberately waiting for the dark, for fear that people in the village will see her pick up two strangers for no reason and cause suspicion. It's hard to know how the Jin family will find Wuning next. If they find the village, people in the village will pour dirty water on her, whether they are or not.
Seeing how Lu Xiaohua disguised himself all the way, after Lu Xiaohua finally got home, he secretly told Jing Yi that the secret department didn't recruit his wife early, which was really a big loss for the secret department.

"Xianggong, I'm back."
Gu Yu had not seen anyone. He only heard his mother's voice, and he knew that the situation was not right.
When he came to the door, he saw Lu Xiaohua standing in the yard, smiling at him. His face was full of guilt. There were two people standing behind her, a woman who was not very good at catching up with her, leaning on a twelve or thirteen year old boy who was almost as tall as Lu Xiaohua.
The woman's face turned white, and the boy's face was not very good-looking. She looked very nervous and uneasy. She secretly glanced at Gu Yu and quickly lowered her head.
The instinct of the little beast made Wu Ning feel that Lu Xiaohua's husband was more terrible and dignified than his most severe husband, which made him tremble at the sight of him.
But the man he thought was terrible was not as angry as he imagined. He didn't even speak a little louder and said gently to Lu Xiaohua, "since I'm back, I'm still standing there doing something. Come in."
"Oh, oh." Lu Xiaohua should, back in the hand behind, to Wuning secretly than than gesture, and then led the mother and son into the room.
In the room, after Gu Yu sat down, he raised his eyes and looked at the three people who were bustling at the door: "why, don't you dare to enter your own door?"
"No, what do you say, Xianggong?" Lu Xiaohua quickly went in and poured a glass of water for Gu Yu. "I came back late today. Has Xianggong been waiting for a long time? Have you had dinner yet? "
"Eat the rest of the noon..." Gu Yu lightly looked up at her, "cool rice."
"Well." Is it her illusion? Why does Gu Yu sound like complaining?
"Yes, I'm sorry." Lu Xiaohua felt behind Gu Yu, pinched his shoulder and thumped his back, "I'm a little delayed."
"What happened?" Gu Yu looked at his mother and son, who were still standing at the door and leaning against each other.
"Ah, yes." Lu Xiaohua also looked at the mother and son, "something happened to my two friends. There is no place to go. I want them to stay in our house for a few days."
Gu Yu didn't say a word, and Lu Xiaohua couldn't control his mind. After thinking about it, he simply held a corner of Gu Yu's clothes and gently pulled it off: "Xianggong, let's go to the room to talk?"
Gu Yu got up to give her face and went into the room. Lu Xiaohua pulled her hair with a little headache, and then heard aunt Wu coughing.
Just when Gu Yu was there, she tried not to say a word. As soon as Gu Yu left, she couldn't control it any more.
"Xiaoning, let your mother sit down first." Lu Xiaohua called, went to the kitchen, and soon brought a bowl of water.
Naturally, it was mixed with spirit water, but she scooped it out from a big bucket of water mixed with only one drop of spirit water, which could not be detected only from the taste. The effect was only to make aunt Wu feel better and relieve her pain, but it would not be obvious to make people suspect.
She asked Wu Ning to feed aunt Wu and drink some water. He also told him not to run around here. Then she went into the room to find Gu Yu.
It's a little big. She doesn't plan to hide it from Gu Yu. She just can't tell Gu Yu in front of Wu Ning and aunt Wu.
After entering the room, she saw Gu Yu sitting in the old position in front of the window, so she dragged a stool and sat down in front of him, holding his hands together a little nervously, but her tone was still relatively firm: "Mr. Xiang, I have to discuss something with you. If you still object after listening, I will rearrange Wuning mother and son. Ah, Wuning is the name of the child outside."
Gu Yu's face remained unchanged and his voice was steady: "say."
Lu Xiaohua straightened out her thoughts, and first told Gu Yu about how she planned to deal with the Jin family. Then she said that Wu Ning had stolen the account book and the secret letter by "good luck". At this time, she took the account book and the secret letter out of her arms and handed them to Gu Yu: "Xianggong, you can see."
Then she moved the candle a little so that it would be brighter and Gu Yu would look better.
Gu Yu opened the account book and looked at it for two pages, then his brow moved slightly.
Lu Xiaohua said: "isn't it incredible that the Jin family has always relied on the power of county magistrate Zhang. In Fengxue Town, there is only one restaurant and several shops. It seems that there are also several shops in the county, but they all have to share with county magistrate Zhang. Even if these shops have a good business, no matter how they sell in a small county, they can't sell such a huge sum of money?"
In the account book, there are three items in total. One is "clothes", the other is "clothes", and the other is "obscenity". In this era, clothes are tops, dresses are skirts, lower and body clothes, and obscenity is inner and inner lining.At first glance, I thought it was the account book of the clothing store. How many clothes were sold.
However, in a day, a "garment" can earn tens of thousands of taels? In this small county?
Although not every day, but in a month, these add up to at least more than 100000, a year millions or even tens of millions of silver!
Well, maybe it can be said that it will be shipped out of Fengde county and sold in other cities?
But for one thing, the best clothes in Fengde county are just like that. There is not even a factory specialized in making clothes here. They come from other places. How can they sell so many ordinary clothes in such cities as Fuzhou?
What's more, the account book has only income, but no expenditure.
Fengde county is not a clothing capital. They need to buy clothes. The money for buying clothes is like the money they get for selling clothes.
What makes Lu Xiaohua most puzzled is that they have no money to spend on purchasing goods, but they have money to pay for them. In the end, 90 liang of them are given to the people marked as "0". The Jin family and Pang Jiu only keep 10 Liang for themselves!
The only explanation is that the so-called "clothes, clothes and obscenities" do not refer to clothes. They do not know what they are doing in secret, and the big profits are provided to another person.
If it's just like this, it's just like doing black business. Who can control them.
But the secret letter said something shocking.
Master Jin should have just finished writing the letter when he met Pang jiulai, so he hid the secret letter with the account book and was stolen by Wu Ning
