Chapter 285 Evidence
In the end, Xu Lingyue agreed because she wanted to help Xue Zeli.

Nangong Li seemed somewhat complacent, so he said that he would take her to find clues now.

This person was so anxious, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and always felt that the other party seemed to have some kind of conspiracy.

She glanced at the other party and asked abruptly, "Aren't you hungry?"

"For you, what do I do if I go hungry." Nangong Li said with awe-inspiring righteousness, as if he had made some great sacrifice.

Huh~, Xu Lingyue was a little disgusted after hearing this, excuses are excuses, and she said so high-sounding, she really took her for a fool, right?

In fact, she still can't trust this person to a certain extent. Who told Nangong Li to have lied to her so many times, and now she is still acting so positively. Those who didn't know would think that solving this case would bring him any benefits.

With vigilance in mind, she has to know the process of the matter, otherwise she still can't trust the other party.

"Wait, tell me what happened again."

"A few days ago, this corruption case was handed over to the prince. It is said that it was triggered by a small case, and this case involved many people. If it is not complete, there will be an official from the court or even the prince. The emperor only let the prince investigate in private."

"As far as I know, the Crown Prince has found the owner of Liu's restaurant, but he is unlucky because someone behind the scenes noticed it, so the owner of the restaurant was silenced last night." Nangong Li said unhurriedly, When it comes to the latter, it is obviously a little gloating.

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue was puzzled, interrupted him and asked: "Since you know this, why don't you stop it?"

"I also found out this morning." He said angrily.

What's more, what does this matter have to do with him, he didn't want to participate in the meeting.

After a pause, Nangong Li continued: "However, even the people behind the scenes don't know that the owner of the restaurant has already found a way out for himself. He has hidden a piece of evidence. As long as he can find this piece of evidence, It would probably be able to overthrow the people behind it with one shot, but it's a pity that he didn't use it himself, and now it's cheaper for the prince."

When it came to the latter, he was even a little bit reluctant, after all, the two were rivals in love, and he would not be happy if they made each other cheaper for nothing.

If he didn't want to spend more time with Yueyue, he wouldn't care about this bad thing.

That's right, this is Nangong Li's little thought.

After listening, Xu Lingyue grasped the key words and asked quickly, "What evidence?"

"Ledger"

Seeing how impatient she was, Nangong Li was more or less apprehensive. If one day he encountered trouble, would Yueyue be as anxious as today?Even so, he said it anyway.

Xu Lingyue suddenly realized, yes, there must be the name of the corrupt person and the amount of corruption in the account book. It seems that as long as he finds this evidence now, he can help Xue Zeli.

But then again, how did Nangong Li know? Although she was puzzled, she didn't think too much about it. No matter what, she had to get the ledger now.

She was eager to try, looked at him hopefully, and said excitedly: "Then let's go find the ledger quickly."

Xu Lingyue thought that he knew where the ledger was, but in the next second, the other party poured a basin of cold water, Nangong Li shook his head and said: "I only know that there is this evidence, but at present, even if it is It took a while to find it."

Hearing this, she was immediately a little discouraged. Although she was a little disappointed, it was not without gain. She just didn't know whether Xue Zeli knew about the existence of this evidence. Why don't you ask Ah Jin to talk about it, or she and Nangong Li will go find it. , I'm afraid it's hard to find.

At this time, Nangong Li suggested: "At this moment, let's go to the Liu Family Restaurant first, there may be clues there."

She nodded in agreement, but still kept an eye out and told Ah Jin to follow along secretly.

After telling Ah Yuan that she wanted to go out, she and Nangong Li set off to Liu's restaurant.

When I first came to Liu's Restaurant, the door was closed tightly.

When the lady next door saw the two of them, she kindly came over to remind them: "Girl, there is a dead person here, don't go in, it's bad luck."

Afraid that she would not believe it, the aunt continued to say, "Those officials just left with Lao Liu's body."

"Thank you for reminding me, auntie, we will leave now." Nangong Li said lightly.

After speaking, he signaled her to go.

After walking for a while, Xu Lingyue asked puzzledly, "Aren't you going in?"

Nangong Li explained lightly: "Enter through the back door, or do you want to attract people?" After speaking, she glanced at her with a half-smile.

She nodded, and then she was thinking about what her aunt said, were the officials just now Xue Zeli and the others?
Walking, she didn't pay attention for a while, and bumped into a hard object.

Xu Lingyue touched her nose, thinking that she didn't bump into something wrong, only to realize that it was Nangong Li's back that hit her.

She quickly apologized: "Sorry, I was lost in thought for a while."

Nangong Li didn't do much, on the contrary, she was a little happy, and then told her: "It's here."

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue raised her head and glanced in front of her eyes. There was no one around here, and it looked a little desolate. There was a small door with rusty locks, and some spider webs coiled on it, so it was deserted. how long.

Nangong Li directly pulled out the saber at his waist, and cut off the lock on it. Perhaps it took too long for the lock to be cut off easily.

After taking back the sword, he signaled her to go in: "Let's go."

Walking inside, there is a small courtyard with many wine jars, large vats, and haystacks on the ground, and a layer of straw is spread on the ground.

She walked over to look at the wine jars, and they were all empty inside, but covered with dust outside, and it looked like they hadn't been used for a long time.

There is some stagnant water in those big tanks, with a few fallen leaves floating on top of them, and there is still a faint smell. If you look carefully, there are some small insects wriggling in the water, and I don't know how long they have been abandoned.

Continue to walk to the front yard, and the most seen along the way is the wine jar.

The front yard and the back yard are simply different. The former is clean and tidy, while the latter is messy.

The door of the main room was not locked, and one could enter with a push, and the inside of the room was considered clean and tidy.

It should be said to be crude, with very few things. After turning around, I didn't find anything unusual, let alone any mechanism.

There are four rooms in total. After inspecting the main room, the two of them are going to go to the study, utility room and side room to have a look.

After going to the utility room, besides wine, there were naturally some other things in it, but there were mostly wine jars. She opened a jar and smelled it, and the mellow and strong aroma of wine came to her nostrils.

What a pity, without the owner, I don't know what to do with such a good wine.

Except for the wine jar, there are some wine making tools and some grains, but nothing unusual was found.
