Chapter 511 512 Evidence from the sky

Ruyi heard the report from the guard and went to the gate of the inn to meet the woman. She was around 30 years old, and her eyes kept looking around, with a cautious look.

When the woman saw Ruyi, she forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, showing a begging look, "Steward Zhou, my master is Master Zhou's classmate. The master asked me to bring some food to Master Zhou."

Ruyi glanced at her, wanting to see what tricks she was going to play, "Okay, please come in."

The woman heard Ruyi let her in, and hurriedly followed into the inn, entered the inn, and Ruyi turned to look at the woman, "Tell me! Do you have anything to ask my master?"

The woman glanced at him, bowed her knees and said, "I want to see Lord Zhou and report something."

"My master won't see you. If you have something to do, just tell me, and I will tell the master."

The woman looked at Ruyi, hesitating in her heart, thinking: The young master finally sent the news out, in case I mess it up, how can I be worthy of the young master.

Ruyi looked at her lightly, "Since you don't want to talk, please come back!"

The woman looked at Ruyi, gritted her teeth and made up her mind, took out a letter from the interlayer of the food box, and handed it to Ruyi, "Little brother, please give this letter to Master Zhou, little brother, I am in a hurry, please don't. delayed."

Ruyi took the letter and glanced at the woman, "Okay, let's go!"

The woman bowed her knees and said: "Little brother, my family lives in Zhumai Street, Xicheng, the fifth household in Tongluo Lane. There is a white magnolia tree at the door. My husband's family name is Wu. After reading the letter, my lord will go there to find me. Lord Zhou will come in person."

Ruyi nodded, "Okay, after I show the letter to the master, I will go to you if there is anything."

The woman took out the food in the food box and handed it to Ruyi, "Little brother, this is the rice cake I made myself, you can try it."

"Okay, thank you." Ruyi took the rice cake, looked at her and nodded, turned and left.

Ruyi put the letter in his pocket, went back to the yard, glanced at the rice cake wrapped in lotus leaves, put the rice cake on the table, and said to the dark guard sitting quietly in the chair: "Brother Chen, I Go out for something."

The dark guard nodded, and Ruyi turned around and came out of the yard. Before walking too far, he found the tail behind him. After thinking for a while, he simply walked into an alley with his tail, dodged and hid aside, and when the tail caught up, he suddenly Appeared, grabbed the tail and threw him over his shoulder, fell to the ground, stepped on his chest, and shouted, "Say, who sent you here?"

Tail looked at Ruyi confidently and roared, "This road belongs to your family? Why did you hit me?"

Ruyi knocked him unconscious with a punch, walked through the alley, and walked towards the small courtyard at the bridge head.

Arrived at the small courtyard, opened it, took out the letter paper inside, and found that it was a page torn from the account book, which recorded how many kilograms were received on a certain day in a certain month, and how many kilograms were sent away, depending on the quantity, the quantity was very large.

The blank space below reads: If you want to know what this is, send it to you.

Ruyi looked at Zhou Jia, "Master, the woman who sent the letter lives in.... I think she looks like she is looking for you for something, shall we go to her?"

"What if it's a trap they made?" Lucky thinks it's better to be cautious.

Zhou Jia squeezed the thin letter paper in his hand. Since he was looking at the contents from other sources, he guessed that the records above should be iron ore transactions. Could it be that the Cheng family still sold the iron ore dealers?

"Let's go! Let's take a look." Zhou Jia looked at a few people.

Zhaocai looked at Zhou Jia: "Master, I think we should go and find out first..."

Zhou Jia raised his hand and said, "If you are worried, you can go alone when you get there, check it out, and then I will go in."

The round-faced dark guard pulled out his feet to set up the car, and the four of them arrived at Tongluo Lane before dark, and a faint scent of magnolia flowers wafted out.

Ruyi got off the car, walked under the flower tree, knocked on the courtyard door, and saw the woman and the tall man standing behind her.

The woman looked behind Ruyi, let Ruyi into the yard, and asked eagerly, "Is Master Zhou here?"

If the yard is not big, with three main houses and four wing rooms, and two children, one big and one small, sitting in the yard, he glanced at the man, "Is this Brother Wu?"

The woman's eyes were red, "This is my boss. He was poisoned and speechless, little brother, you believe me, we are not bad people."

The man also nodded at Ruyi, Ruyi nodded, walked to the gate of the courtyard, Zhou Jia and the round-faced dark guard walked in, Zhou Jia glanced at the woman, "Tell me! Why did you use the account book to bring me here? "

The woman looked at the bearded Zhou Jia and said boldly, "I can tell you only if I read your seal."

Zhou Jia took out a small seal from his pocket and handed it to the woman, "This official carries only this small seal."

The man took it with both hands, nodded to the woman after seeing it, and returned the small seal to Zhou Jia, the woman turned and walked into the room, and after a while, she wrapped it in an oiled paper and handed it to Zhou Jia.

"Master Zhou, this is what my young master handed over to us for safekeeping two months ago. Today, the little woman and the head of the family received news from the young master, asking the little woman and her husband to hand over this package to you, please save my family. Young master." The woman and the man knelt down, and the two children began to cry when they saw it.

"You two don't have to be polite, you're scaring the child." Zhou Jia hurriedly put the things in Ruyi's hand and helped the man up, and the woman hurriedly ran to pick up the child.

Zhou Jia looked at the woman, "Who is your young master? Where is he now? Where did he get these things?"

The woman glanced at the man, and the man nodded to indicate that she could say, "I used to be the personal maid of my third wife of the Cheng family, but ten years ago, my wife released me. , the young master said that it is very important, after the master of the Cheng family left, the eldest master of the Cheng family took charge of the family and detained the young master's family."

It seems that the third room of the Cheng family and the second room of the first room of the Cheng family are not of the same mind. As soon as Mr. Cheng leaves, Mr. Cheng can't wait to get rid of the dissidents.

"Sister-in-law, I'll do my best." After saying that, he turned around and left, Ruyi and the dark guard also protected Zhou Jia and went out.

When Zhou Jia returned to the courtyard, it was already dark. When he went back to the house, he opened the oilcloth bag and saw that there were thirty or forty account books inside, which recorded intermittently, some accounts of the Cheng family's private sales of iron ore over the years, and also There is evidence of collusion with Feng Zhifu to sell iron ore.

It turned out that the Cheng family had been mining iron ore for the imperial court since the reign of the late emperor, and they also sold iron ore privately. Now they were shut down by the iron ore after they came to power. The Cheng family stopped mining iron ore privately after only two years.

Chushan found out that the suspension of work was only a superficial effort by the Cheng family. After His Majesty removed the mining rights of the Cheng family, the Cheng family took a two-year break, and secretly prepared to continue mining in a hidden place.
