Mrs. Lin's chest, which was filled with anger, was even more painful at this moment.

Why did this silly girl know about this?

No matter how she asked, Zhuzhu had this infatuated expression. She seemed to step on cotton, and no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.

Mrs. Lin seemed to have all her energy and blood flowing out of her head, and this feeling would make her crazy.

There is no successor in the Huaiyuan Marquis' Mansion, and sooner or later there will be chaos. At that time, the clan girl has no idea and will ask her to help clean up the mess. Thinking of facing Zhuzhu in the future, Mrs. Lin became even more angry. How did the clan girl manage the children and the family?

Seeing Mrs. Lin’s face look ugly, the mother in charge hurriedly stepped forward to coax Gu Mingzhu: “This matter is very important to Mrs. Wang, please think about it carefully.”

Such earnest words were obviously useless to Gu Mingzhu. Gu Mingzhu lay on the low table next to her, her face full of fatigue, and she yawned at Mrs. Lin and the mother in charge.

No matter what the mother in charge said, Gu Mingzhu refused to speak.

"Let the kitchen bring some pastries and candied fruits." The manager's mother immediately ordered. Miss Gu was happy and might be able to reveal something.

The manager's mother brought the pastry to Miss Gu, and then squatted down and gently rubbed Miss Gu's legs.

Gu Mingzhu gradually had a relaxed smile on her face. Today she was really tired. She started to be busy since she woke up in the morning. She had to run around Mrs. Lin's house and look for opportunities to get the keys around her mother in charge. Then she hid in the panxia to check what Mrs. Lin brought. Thanks to those strange and chaotic items placed in a box wrapped in red cloth, otherwise it would have taken some effort to find them.

But the things in the box are really interesting.

Victory, talismans, paper money, underworld tools, ghost sticks...

These are obviously used to deal with Zhou Rujun's ghost, but unfortunately they are useless because she had tried them a long time ago.

She suddenly woke up from Gu Mingzhu. This situation far exceeded her understanding of everything. At one time, she also suspected that the ghosts and gods in ancient books might be real, so she found an opportunity to use paper money, talismans, fruits, incense, candles, and all of them. She did not suddenly make a fortune or feel uncomfortable. It can be seen that these things are deceptive tricks.

Or she was not a ghost, but was reincarnated in the Gu family, and Zhou Rujun was just a memory of her previous life.

Although these were useless to her, she still wanted to take a closer look. After all, this was the purpose of Mrs. Lin's trip. When she held the ghost stick in her hand, she found something strange.

The ghost stick is a bit heavy, and there is another mystery in it.

She searched carefully and finally found the damaged place under the ghost stick. A cut like a ring was like a plug in this ghost stick. She pried the plug with a hairpin, poured some powder out of the ghost stick, and put it together at the end of her nose and smelled it. A smell of saltpeter came.

In addition to this ghost stick, there are also things in other objects. Time is tight, she didn't check them one by one, but she also had a lot of thought in her heart.

On weekdays, the Cui family's ancestral tombs were strictly guarded by the Cui family, and the Cui family lived around to guard the tombs. Ordinary people were not allowed to approach them. Even if the ordinary Cui family went to worship, the objects used must be carefully checked, and the Taoist priests invited by Mrs. Lin were naturally no exception.

However, the items that Mrs. Lin ordered to be carried away were different. These things used to punish Zhou Rujun were shameful. The Cui clan members knew in their hearts and did not dare to check them carefully, so as not to be complained by Mrs. Lin.

So the box can be sent in smoothly.

Saltpeter and gunpowder were sent to the Cui family's ancestral tomb. Is it going to burn the old tomb of the Cui family or blow up the good feng shui of the Cui family?

The Cui family was plotted against.

Seeing through and not saying it out is a good virtue, so she restored the ghost stick and put it back.

Although such a storm happened today, Mrs. Lin would probably blame Zhou Rujun for her. After all, things ran out of the locked box, except for humans, they were caused by ghosts.

So Mrs. Lin would not give up her previous plans easily.

No matter who wants to plot against the Cui family, the goal should be achieved this time.

Gu Mingzhu only felt that the manager's mother kneaded her legs just right, and the people in Mrs. Lin's house were really useful.

It was hard to refuse the kindness, so she just rested here for a while, and there was still a lot of things to do when she recovered.

The manager's mother found that Miss Gu leaned on the pillow for a while and did not move. She couldn't help but look up. The girl's eyebrows and eyes were stretched out, and her long eyelashes left a shadow like a small fan on her cheeks. Her red lips were slightly pursed, and her expression was quiet and peaceful.

Miss Gu actually fell asleep.

...

Cui Zhen picked up the official documents on the table and looked at it. Cui Wei stood aside for a while and did not dare to speak.

Finally, when Cui Zhen finished handling the official duties, Cui Wei said, "Brother, why are you so angry? You just said that you were involved in the Cui family and we are in danger. Haven't the bandits already caught it? The first trial of the retrial will definitely ask where the stolen goods are hidden, and the case will be settled."

Cui Zhen raised his eyes, and Cui Wei couldn't help but feel cold. The eldest brother's eyes were like when he was fighting against Tatars before, which made him feel dangerous.

Cui Zhen said: "Who was caught in Yong'an Lane in the Yamen?"

"Bandits." Cui Wei was puzzled. Some of those people had already admitted the robbery of merchants.

Cui Zhen continued: "What else?"

Cui Wei was stunned for a moment.

Cui Zhen said: "They are still quarrymen. In recent years, the imperial court has promoted the mining tax, and mining in Shanxi has also blossomed everywhere. Many people have been sent to mines to be quarrymen. Now some of these people have become bandits and some have become dead soldiers. It can be seen that the people and the court have deep grudges.

The emperor will not interfere in small matters, and even the censor will not let go of big matters. Therefore, this incident must have a result. Either the court completely suppresses the bandits, and from then on, there will be peace in Shanxi, or even bigger cases will be exposed and more people will be involved.

How will the case be settled in the end?"

Cui Wei said: "We came to Taiyuan because our elder brother thought that someone was robbing military rations was a big deal. Shanxi might have a big deal, but even so... we can attack and retreat or defend, and we can throw the case to the yamen at any time and return to Xuanfu to lead troops."

"What if there are many bandits and there are not enough troops in the garrison? Or if there are people pulling the flag against the flag..." Cui Zhen said a slight pause here, "then the troops in my hands are needed."

Cui Wei understood: "Brother means that the bandits caught in Yong'an Lane are only part of them, and more people are hiding in other places. Maybe they are a large number of people, so we need to send troops to assist the garrison in the fight to suppress the bandits."

"According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, robbers and thieves who get wealth are killed without discrimination. If they really move troops, they will be blood flowing into a river." Cui Zhen's voice was calm, but his expression was particularly deep. "In the past, we killed Tatars in Xuanfu, but if we came to Taiyuan, we would face the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Killing people simply took up their swords and fell, who was the ones you killed, and who was the sword in your hand. If you don't understand these, the Cui family will be punished overnight like those nobles."

Cui Wei was startled and swallowed before saying, "Then we won't send troops. We will make some noise on the border and say that the troops and horses are tripped."

Cui Zhen said: "Therefore, it is even more unforgivable to make Taiyuan Prefecture messy." Only by clarifying the whole thing can the Cui family be kept, just like five years ago, invincible.

Cui Wei finally understood the awesomeness: "Since my elder brother has thought of it for a long time, we just need to be careful. Who else in Taiyuan Mansion can be more visionary than my elder brother? Even if the Wei family comes, we may not necessarily lose."

"Not necessarily?" Cui Zhen smiled coldly, "I'm afraid he has lost the opportunity."

First there was the opened wax ball, then the fourth brother and Lu Shenzhi, how many other things he didn't know?

"Impossible," Cui Wei said, "Even if Lu Shenzhi didn't say anything, he probably won't be able to hide it for long. I have someone watch it in the prison, and as long as there is news, it will be transmitted back. When the elder brother finds out all these, we can make a decision."

Cui Wei said it easily, but Cui Zhen knew it was not that easy. He had been in the yamen before, so he wanted to make up for it quickly, but he didn't expect that something would happen in the inner house again.

Cui Zhen said: "Tell her mother to let her stay in the inner house safely. If something happened to her fourth brother, the fourth sister-in-law was unintentional to take care of the family, and she still needed her mother to help her. There would be no such storm today."

Cui Wei nodded: "Don't worry, brother, mother is responsible."

Cui Zhen lowered his eyes and thought, the one who worried him the most was Wei Yuanchen. Wei Yuanchen never showed up in Taiyuan. He was so calm that he already had some understanding of the current case?

"Mr. Marquis," he walked into the door in person, "There is news from the government office, and the bandits have recognized where the property is hidden."

Cui Wei was delighted on his face.

"Let me prepare for the horse," Cui Zhen said, "I will take a few people to come first." He was afraid that Chi Ze would change. Although the situation was unclear, it was always right to hold the evidence in his hand first.

...

Dozens of boxes were hidden in the cave, and the boxes were filled with gold, silver, fine and soft items, as well as some spices, gems, and pearls.

These boxes can be closed after being taken by the government office.

The guards around him began to move the boxes.

"Don't hide nearby. The yamen will come to search and check the surroundings carefully," Wei Yuanchen said, as he untied the fu letter from his waist, "Use my fu letter to transport the box into Taiyuan City to seal it. When sealing, check the number and write the documents and store it in a secret box, and send it to the capital."

The box does not leave Taiyuan Mansion, and there are documents in the secret box to testify, so you can take it out as evidence at any time.

Everyone ordered it to go out of the cave and look around. In addition to moving the boxes away, he also had to take people around to investigate.

If you intend to put the robbery here, you must have other intentions in addition to letting the yamen solve the case smoothly.

"There are three villages nearby." Chujiu stepped forward to report.

Wei Yuanchen got on the horse with a clean and wanted to check all the villages today. If he inferred correctly, there must be many quarrymen in these villages.

The first place is not far away. Wei Yuanchen turned over and dismounted, then glanced at the woods next to him.

Nie Chen, who was hiding behind the tree, seemed to have been stabbed in the chest again. He immediately raised his hand and walked out: "Sir, I am here to help. I was afraid that the adults would not be able to pull away, so I thought about coming to the nearby village to inquire about the news. As long as I ask for useful clues, I will definitely report to the adults carefully." He guessed that Lord Wei would be stuck by the evidence, but he didn't expect to come here so soon.

Lord Wei really couldn't rub half a grain of sand in his eyes.

Wei Yuanchen narrowed his slender phoenix eyes slightly. He had already seen through Nie Chen's thoughts. He gave him the map and asked him to deal with the yamen. He and the yamen were all focused on the stolen goods, so Nie Chen could take the opportunity to go to the surrounding villages to inquire about the news.

While using his men, he can continue to plan, and the calculation is so smart.

Wei Yuanchen ignored it and walked forward. Nie Chen immediately followed: "Sir, it may not be convenient for you to take this guy to investigate the case. You will be suspicious when you see it. You can only investigate the situation secretly. It is better for us to act separately. I pretended to be a passing merchant and went to ask for information.

If the adults are worried, let this guy pretend to be my follower and act with me. The news I found out will be known, so that I will not be afraid of me hiding my own private parts.”

Let him pretend to be a follower and serve Nie Chen? Chu Jiu frowned. How could this be possible? Except for the Third Master, he would not obey others.

Wei Yuanchen glanced at Ajiu.

Ajiu nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Master Third, I must have looked at him tightly." Anyway, this is all fake.

Wei Yuanchen moved forward first, and his figure quickly disappeared in front of the two of them.

Ajiu said coldly: "Let's go!"

Nie Chen smiled and escaped from his arms while walking, a purse was stuffed into Ajiu's hand: "Baiweiju's jerky meat is delicious, it's good to have a tooth sacrificial sacrifice for nothing."

Ajiu threw his purse back to his hands and said with a cold face: "Go away quickly."

Don't worry, the first time I will definitely not be able to feed him. Once again, I will be familiar with him. Nie Chen is very confident in the elder's inference. The elder is good at scrutinizing people's hearts. Before this time, he received a letter. The elder said that when he met Lord Wei, he could only tell the truth, because this person was too smart and lying would be exposed. People around Lord Wei could use some small thoughts. This little jerky was prepared for him by the elder.

He was also curious about why the elder knew this, but the elder quickly gave him the answer in the letter, because the elder had seen Lord Wei and the people around him, and smelled the smell of meat on the people around him.

The meat smells.

What meat?
