Chapter 123
He Lingjiang handed the letter in his hand to Pei You, and took out the remaining letters to read.

Except for two or three letters from other court officials, the rest were all letters from the prince, and the content on them was nothing more than private copper mining.

Behind this Liu Yuan is the prince!

He Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly: "This time, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will be shaken."

The crown prince of a dignified country actually colluded with the officials of the court to mine copper and iron privately, ignored the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and filled his own pockets, and regarded Jiangshan, Shanxi, and Jidu as his own.

The saint must be very angry this time.

Judging from these letters, Liu Yuan's actions must have been ordered by the prince.

In addition to being greedy for copper and iron ore, if it is found out that the prince is also involved in the private sale of iron items to the enemy country, what will happen to the court at that time, it will be another matter.

He Lingjiang put the letter aside, pulled out the booklet underneath, and saw that it recorded the number of copper mines that had been mined privately.

She frowned and thought about the private account she found in the Nanshan mining area. If so, the number of copper mines that were mined and shipped out should be about the same.

However, when the account book was turned from beginning to end, only the number of copper mines was recorded.

"Isn't the privately mined iron ore recorded here?" He Lingjiang frowned.

Although the private mining of copper mines is serious, the number of them is only [-]/[-] compared to the iron ore. What's more, the iron ore was made into iron and sold to Beidi privately.

The significance of this is even more serious.

Liu Yuan didn't record them in the same account book?

Pei You pointed to those letters: "It only mentioned copper mining."

"Liu Yuan separated copper and iron to keep accounts?" He Lingjiang flipped through the copper box again, but there were indeed only a few letters and the account book in her hand.

They searched for a long time in this study, but only found this hidden compartment.

Right now, they only have these in their hands. Although it can prove that the prince, Liu Yuan and others have privately mined copper mines, they cannot be linked to the private mining of iron tools.

Pei You couldn't help but feel fortunate: "Fortunately, those miners were rescued, and with them as proof, even if you can't get the private account of the iron ore, you can still win."

He Lingjiang nodded. Except for the miners, the mine had not been completely destroyed and collapsed. As long as a little effort was used to dig out the opening, the mine tunnel and the traces of mining inside could prove it.

The two were no longer entangled in this, He Lingjiang hid the envelope and the account book separately in Pei You's arms, and then locked the copper lock again, and even the Chinese characters in the copper hoop were also arranged by her as the original. order.

The silk thread that Pei You was pulling in one hand re-winded to the hidden compartment, restored it to its original state, and then stood up.

The two were about to go out, but a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Why are you two asleep?"

It was the guards who came and went, and found that the two people guarding the door were dozing off.

The two guards were startled by him, and instantly woke up from their sleep, rubbing their eyes.

The two smiled embarrassingly: "Somehow, in the middle of the night, I was a little sleepy."

Saying that, he couldn't help but yawn.

The inspectors frowned and stared at them: "Be vigilant, don't be lazy!"

In the past few days, the county governor has attached great importance to the safety of the mansion, and has specially ordered additional personnel to patrol.

The study is a place that the county governor pays special attention to. If something goes wrong, everyone can't take responsibility.

"What's wrong?" the man asked.

The guard standing on the left side of the study door shook his head: "No. We just dozed off for a while, nothing unusual."

However, when they said so, the two couldn't help but beat drums in their hearts.

When the patrolling team walked over, they hurriedly opened the door of the study, lit the candles on the lampstand, and carefully checked them in the study.

He Lingjiang and Pei You, who were hiding on the beam, couldn't help holding their breath.

With the steps of the two guards, the lights got closer and the room gradually lit up.

He Lingjiang lowered his body lower and blocked his figure with the beam.

The two guards took a look at the whole room, and then pushed and closed the window tightly. They were relieved when they saw that there was nothing abnormal.

They put out the candles, closed the door of the study tightly, and stood in front of the door again with energy.

After waiting for a while, He Lingjiang and Pei You, who were hiding on the beam, jumped down lightly.

Pei You turned around in the house: "Come through the window and go out."

There are several windows in the study room, and they are tightly forked from the inside by window bolts. Because of this, the two of them could only enter through the door.

Now that the two guards have been awakened, this is the time to wake up in the heart, and it will be inconvenient to cast the Sleeping Curse again.

He Lingjiang nodded: "The two times I turned over other people's houses, there was always something wrong. I think next time I have to be more careful."

Pei You glanced at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "Last time, the supervisor was an accident, but Liu Yuan is not very personable, and he has been vigilant recently, how can he come and go like an ordinary person? ?"

"Last night I went to the county seat to explore the terrain, and it wasn't that simple."

"Okay." He Lingjiang shrugged, "I don't often turn around people's houses, so I know so many twists and turns."

Don't turn around often?
Pei You couldn't help slandering, he saw that she was very skilled.

He walked to the window, gently opened the window bolt, and said softly to He Lingjiang, "You go out first."

The window was pushed open silently, and outside the window was a rockery, with plantains and thin bamboos planted around it.

He Lingjiang leaned over slightly and jumped out of the window.

She turned to look at Pei You, but saw that he didn't follow closely.

Through the hazy pearlescent light, you can see that he seems to have pulled a long hair from his head and wrapped one end of the hair around the wooden bolt before he jumped out.

He Lingjiang leaned forward, and with the help of pearl light, saw him leaning against the window sill, half-closed the two windows, and moved his fingers through the gap in the middle to put the wooden peg in a strange posture.

Then he closed the window and gently pulled the hand holding the other end of his hair.

There was a light "click", and the wooden bolt was just right behind the window, and the two windows were forked from the inside.

He Lingjiang couldn't help but secretly said, "Miaozai!"

Fork the window in this way, you can avoid being noticed. Someone in the study once came out of the window, and it can also try to delay the time when Liu Yuan finds out that the letter from the study is missing.

Fortunately, she didn't know Pei You's slander, otherwise she would have replied, "Your Excellency is not bad at being a gentleman on the beam."

The two avoided the guards who patrolled back and forth.

At this time, the sky was already dimly lit.

The county governor's mansion is a little far away from the He mansion. When the mansion arrives, the sun will come out long ago.

He Lingjiang frowned, she came out to be a thief, and it was inconvenient to bring an umbrella, so she only changed into less conspicuous clothes. How could she expect that she would encounter Lao Shizi Tibetan Poem Lock, which took so long.

It's getting brighter now!
She left Pei You behind and ran out.
