"Yes, Master, Liu Zhan excuses himself." Liu Zhan bowed quickly and left Kun Bai's office.
He closed the door, then turned and looked at the blue sky with an annoyed look on his face.
What Kun Bai didn't tell Kun Bai just now was that Qiao Qixin used to be a vegetable shop owner.
And because of Jia Yulian's troubles at home, the Jia family has forced Qiao Qixin's vegetable shop to close...
——
late at night
Qiao Qixin, dressed in black, quietly walked out of the small courtyard.
She stayed close to the wall and walked in the shadows, fearing that others would notice her sneaky appearance.
During the day, Qiao Qixin studied the map for a day and found that the patrols in the study were much laxer than at night, so she planned to sneak into the study at night to see if she could find anything useful.
According to the map in her mind, Qiao Qixin quickly reached the study door.
She cautiously exposed only one pair of eyes to observe the furnishings in the study.
There were guards on each side of the door, and a team of about five people walked back and forth around the study.
It seems that there is no chance to enter the main entrance.
Qiao Qixin turned around and followed the wall of the study to bypass the wall opposite the main entrance.
It's not too high, I should be able to climb up. Qiao Qixin compared the height between herself and the wall, then she grabbed the edge of the wall, kicked hard, and pushed herself in.
"hiss--"
A tingling sensation suddenly came from the edge of the palm of my hand.
By the moonlight, Qiao Qixin could clearly see the source of the pain. It turned out that a wooden thorn had penetrated her body.
The wooden thorn is not big, but it stings very painfully.
Qiao Qixin used the index finger and thumb of her other hand to carefully pull the thorn out of the flesh with her bare hands.
Afraid that Li Mansion would not treat her tetanus, Qiao Qixin endured the pain and applied some recovery medicine to the wound.
After the little episode was dealt with, Qiao Qixin jumped down from the wall gently.
Huh? Why is the soil under your feet so soft?
Qiao Qixin moved her feet and felt the dirt on her feet felt strange.
Curiosity made her squat down and touch it, and a wet feeling came from her fingertips.
Wet, this soil has just been renovated?
Intuition told Qiao Qixin that there must be something hidden under the soil.
With no tools or lighting, Qiao Qixin dug in the dark with bare hands at the back of the study.
After digging for a while, my fingertips touched something hard, which seemed to be a box.
Qiao Qixin looked around cautiously, then grabbed the box from the soil.
She came to a corner where there was some moonlight, and then opened the box still stained with soil in her hands.
Inside the box was a booklet. Qiao Qixin opened it and glanced at it. Some accounts were recorded on it.
Could this be what Liu Zhan is looking for?
Qiao Qixin flipped through the accounts, a little unbelievable.
Was he found so easily?
Although she was confused, Qiao Qixin decided to leave with the account first so that the hidden guard could hand it over to Liu Zhan for detailed inspection.
Qiao Qixin looked around again, and after confirming that no one was around, she climbed the wall again.
Because she brought an extra box, Qiao Qixin had some difficulty climbing over the wall and almost fell back several times.
But fortunately, I finally climbed back to the wall without any danger.
Qiao Qixin stuffed a blood-tonifying pill into her mouth, and then carefully jumped off the wall.
Why did Li Shangshu come to the study?
On the map in my mind, the small dot belonging to Li Shangshu came to the door of the study.
The little dot stopped in the study room.
Qiao Qixin breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought I had been discovered.
Holding the box under her arm, she quietly left the vicinity of the study and came to the grove.
"Hidden Guard? Are you still there?" Qiao Qixin called out slightly.
There was silence all around.
The hidden guard shouldn't be working the night shift, right? Qiao Qixin thought to herself.
She walked for a while in the woods, and suddenly a black figure jumped out in front of her eyes.
"Miss Qiao." The hidden guard knelt on one knee and lowered his head.
"The accounts I found in Li's study, please send them to Liu Zhan quickly and let him see if they are what you are looking for." Qiao Qixin handed the box stained with mud to the hidden guard.
The hidden guard was shocked, he didn't expect Qiao Qixin to be so efficient.
"Hurry up and let Liu Zhan see. Hurry up and get me out." Seeing that the hidden guard didn't move, Qiao Qixin thought he was in a daze, so she urged him a few words.
Hearing this, the hidden guard quickly lowered his head and took the box, "Miss Qiao has worked hard, and I will leave this humble job to Mr. Liu."

Li Mansion Study Room
Li Shangshu sat in the study for a while, and then while the guards he hired relaxed, he opened the secret door leading to the back.
In recent days, another disaster relief fund will be allocated, so it is better to change the account.
Li Shangshu was thinking in his mind.
The accounts were originally hidden in the dark box in his study, but recently he had an inexplicable bad feeling, so he kept changing the locations of the accounts.
Yesterday he just buried the accounts in the back, but today he felt it was wrong and planned to dig them out and move them to another place.
Li Shangshu came to the back of the study with a shovel and was about to dig out the accounts, but he found something wrong where the accounts were buried.
"What's wrong with this soil..." Li Shangshu had a very bad feeling in his heart.
He quickly shoveled away the soil with a shovel.
I don't know how long he shoveled it, but Li Shangshu finally had to believe in the possibility that made him tremble.
The account was stolen.
Li Shangshu slammed the shovel to the ground.
It must be that boy Liu Zhan!
His eyes almost burst into flames.
The guards who were touching the fish at the door of the study were startled when Li Shangshu slammed the door in anger.
"Surround the house immediately! Don't let anyone out!" Li Shangshu said angrily.
The guards didn't know why, but they didn't dare to delay and rushed out of the study immediately.
Their speed was very fast, and soon the Li Mansion was surrounded by people.
Why are there suddenly so many people? Did Li Shangshu find that the accounts were lost? The hidden guard squatted on the wall, frowning and looking at the soldiers of the Li family below.
He picked a place with few people and jumped down suddenly. Before the guards could react, they were knocked unconscious by his hand.
The hidden guard rushed to Liu Zhan's room as fast as he could. He didn't even have time to knock on the door and rushed directly to Liu Zhan's window.
Liu Zhan, who was about to fall asleep, was frightened by him and sat up from the bed, completely sleepless.
"What's the matter?" Liu Zhan asked seriously.
His hidden guards would never rush in so anxiously and rudely, and this could only mean that something extremely urgent had happened.
"Master," the hidden guard knelt down on one knee and held the box in front of Liu Zhan, "this is what Miss Qiao found. It may be the accounts hidden by Li Shangshu."
"What!" Liu Zhan was surprised. He took the box from the hidden guard, then opened it carefully and took out the booklet inside.
The hidden guard saw Liu Zhan flipping through the accounts and said quickly, "When I just came out of the Li Mansion, I saw that the Li Mansion was surrounded by soldiers from the Li Mansion. I am afraid that Li Shangshu has discovered it."
Liu Zhan stood up from the bed and scanned the last few pages of the account.
He stuffed the book into the hidden guard's arms and whispered, "Now give this book to the Minister of Dali Temple, and I will bring Qiao Qixin out."
"Yes." The hidden guard took the book and went to Dali Temple.
Liu Zhan put on his black robe, then put on his black fox mask after hesitating for a moment.
He climbed out of the Liu Mansion, ran on the roof, and quickly headed towards the Li Mansion.
In the Li Mansion, Qiao Qixin, who still knew nothing, was happily walking back to the courtyard.
If everything goes well, I can leave Li's Mansion tomorrow.
Qiao Qixin thought happily.
Huh? Wait, I went in the wrong direction? Why are there so many people surrounding the small courtyard?
On the map in my mind, dozens of small dots were surrounding the entrance of Qiao Qixin's courtyard, and there were also five or six small dots inside the courtyard.
Qiao Qixin stopped and walked decisively deeper into the woods.
What is going on? Have I been caught stealing accounts? So soon?
Deep in the woods, Qiao Qixin stopped when she didn't see a single dot on the map.
Qiao Qixin squatted on the root of a tree, looking worriedly at the dark surroundings.
Liu Zhan, please be more diligent... I won't be able to hide when it gets dark.
Suddenly, on the map, a small dot marked "Liu Zhan" flew past.
Liu Zhan...Liu Zhan?!
Qiao Qixin sat up from the root of the tree with a start, and then ran after Liu Zhan's dot.
"Liu Zhan! Liu Zhan! I'm here! Take me away quickly!" Qiao Qixin was anxious, but she didn't dare to shout too loudly. She could only keep her volume down and pray that Liu Zhan would notice.
But obviously, Liu Zhan didn't hear it. He didn't even pause and flew away from the side.
Qiao Qixin:……
Why are you running so fast! Aren't you here to save me? Where is the Yinwei? Brother Yinwei, please save me! Qiao Qixin howled in her heart.
Liu Zhan, who was "flying" intently on the wall, finally paused.
"Who's calling me?" He listened carefully, but didn't hear the voice again, so he thought he heard it wrong, and then sped towards Qiao Qixin's small courtyard.
Qiao Qixin squatted on the ground, rubbing her hair irritably.
After much thought, she finally decided to go to the small courtyard to see if she could meet Liu Zhan.
Although this decision was risky, she had no choice.
Because the outer wall of Li's Mansion was too high, she couldn't get up with brute strength alone. Someone had to take her down.
The fallen leaves underfoot made a crisp sound, making them noisy and noisy in the silent night.
Qiao Qixin came to the edge of the woods not far from the small courtyard, and finally saw the small dot belonging to Liu Zhan on the map in her mind.
"Left side?" Qiao Qixin looked to her left hand in confusion, but saw no figure.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Qiao Qixin walked to the location of the small dot. The map showed that her current location coincided with Liu Zhan.
She was just about to raise her head and shout, but she felt a gust of wind blowing over her head, and then something seemed to fall, and then the next second, something cold was pressed against Qiao Qixin's neck.
At that moment, Qiao Qixin's brain was spinning rapidly.
Why do you want to accuse me? There is something wrong with the accounts? I was tricked by Li Shangshu? Liu Zhan was deceived into thinking I was a traitor?
Before Qiao Qixin could ask "why", Liu Zhan behind her heard a gloomy tone, "Who are you? Where are Qiao Qixin now?"
