Chapter 78

The clouds are covering the moon, the shadows of the trees are whirling, there is no sound in the house, the flickering candlelight is reflected on the account book on the desk case, and the paper makes a rattling sound when the wind blows.

Just at this moment, footsteps came from outside the door, and before the servant at the door had time to inform, the visitor had already stepped into the room, and said in a hurry: "My lord, I heard that you are back, the Sun family..."

The sound stopped abruptly, Yue Yang looked at the men and women sitting opposite each other on the arhat chair, his legs were filled with lead, his brain surged like magma, he coughed violently twice slowly, and then swallowed what he was going to say later.

She was originally generous and dignified entering the room, but at this moment Ye Lingwu was inexplicably flustered, stood up at a loss and saluted, and said, "Yue...Little General Yue Yang."

Yue Yang was also embarrassed, and replied: "My cousin is here too."

Shen Zhan's expression remained unchanged, and he said softly, "Wait for me outside."

Yue Yang shook his body, turned around and ran out briskly.

"..."

Ye Lingwu didn't see Yue Yang's panic when he came in. He wanted to say something, but Shen Zhan picked up the tea bowl slowly, took a sip, and said, "You still stay here tonight. Well, I will send someone to inform grandma."

These words are beyond reproach, but Ye Lingwu dare not agree, he is not the only one in Murong's mansion, wouldn't it be the same if others sent her back.

Therefore, she was about to refuse aloud, but she heard Shen Zhan say: "Don't go to Beiyuan, you can live in other small courtyards."

"Why?" Ye Lingwu's doubts came out of her shell.

Shen Zhan looked serious, and replied: "Although Lu Xu'an got away that night, Lu Xu'an was not easy to fool. The steward of Xueyue Qinyuan sent two skinny horses early in the morning of the second day. These two skinny horses are not easy. , you must not run into it."

Ye Lingwu frowned. She had only heard of strong horses, strong horses, and thousand-mile horses. How could someone give gifts to malnourished lean horses?No, the focus seems to be on the latter sentence.

She said in a daze, "Why can't we meet? Could it be that those two horses will also tip off the news?"

Shen Zhan looked at the surprise in her eyes, and suddenly understood that this girl is young and doesn't know what a skinny horse is, so he smiled helplessly: "Yes, she will tip off the news, so Qingqing should be careful, don't go to Beiyuan."

"..." Ye Lingwu felt like being coaxed like a child.

Inside the study.

Shen Zhan spread out the two account books brought back from the Sun's house on the table. At this moment, he had already scanned them quickly, ignoring the fingers on his thumb.

Yue Yang saw the terrible low aura around him, and asked, "My lord, is there really something wrong with the Sun family?"

Shen Zhan said, "Look for yourself."

Yue Yang got the account book, compared the two, and found that the Sun family was actually making two accounts. Not only did they make false tax returns, but it was even clear from the clear account that Lu Xu'an would spend a lot of money every month in Xueyue Qinyuan. The competing product was originally paid for, but it was clearly recorded in the secret account that Lu Xu An spent the money in Xueyue Qinyuan. The money was laundered into his own pocket.

"It turns out that the owner of Xueyue Qinyuan is Lu Xu'an! No wonder the second wife of the Sun family is so rich. Even if the young master is not here, I don't even know that today's extravagant banquet is almost as extravagant as a state banquet."

Yue Yang said again: "Lu Xu'an has attracted many merchants over the years. Gu and Zhao's promotions depend on Lu Xu'an, who spent thousands of dollars and agreed to do business with Lu Xu'an. A businessman is even more prestigious than an official!"

Shen Zhan took a sip of the cold tea at hand, and said casually, "Then what kind of people do you think Lu Xuan and Sun Kungan are?"

Yue Yang thought about it: "Lu Xu'an is very ambitious. In the early years, Sun Kunqian used his position to help him start the Lu family. In the past few years, his momentum has overshadowed Sun Kunqian, and he even dared to do it for him."

Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows, and said noncommittally: "How dare this merchant overshadow the official? Lu Xu'an is ambitious, but he knows how to measure it. Otherwise, he would have been sent to Zhao Prison all these years ago."

Yue Yang suddenly said: "Young Master, what you mean is that Sun Kungan has something in Lu Xu'an's hands?"

Shen Zhan kept a cold face and said nothing.

The night was dark, and suddenly it rained heavily in the moon, so heavy that the whole city was hazy.

After Shen Zhan left, Ye Lingwu didn't know where to go. She said that Murong's mansion could be lived in, but she didn't know where to live.

Since he left, Ye Lingwu has been sitting on the porch of the small principal, no one cares about him, looking at the far-away Yueyue Mountain, looking at the nearby rain, thinking that if he was in Yuzhou , It should not rain so much in summer, and people who are noisy can't sleep.

Summer in Yuzhou is always quiet.

Sleepiness gradually struck, Ye Lingwu put her hands on Zhu Lan, her head slumped on her arms.

In a daze, footsteps came from her ears, she heard someone talking, it seemed to be Yue Yang's voice, the content mentioned Sun Kunqian, Zhizhou Prefecture, banquet...

Ye Lingwu opened his heavy eyelids, and all he saw was an extremely handsome face. He seemed to be talking, what were he talking about...

It seemed that she was asking herself why she didn't go back to sleep, Ye Lingwu wanted to answer, but her lips seemed to be glued together, she babbled a few words, and then closed her eyes again.

Not long after, Ye Lingwu only felt her body lighten, and her whole body seemed to be suspended in the air. When she opened her tired eyes again, her handsome face was replaced by a broad chest, and the tip of her nose was filled with a familiar clear breath.

——She seemed to be hugged by someone, very comfortable and warm.

It was raining outside and the wind was blowing, the girl lay on the bed without noticing it, the dim candle lamp was printed on her fair and delicate face, Shen Zhan looked at it quietly for a while before turning around and leaving the room.

At the same time, a person rushed over from the corridor. Seeing Shen Zhan coming out of the house, he immediately cupped his fists and said, "My lord, Feixin outside the city, Sun Kunqian went to the farm outside the city."
