Chapter 351 Timeline
Gu Shiwei thought about it and stretched her head towards Han Shiyan. She picked up a pen and wrote a big word "money" in the center of the paper.

"The magistrate of Xia County was involved because he was greedy for money and grain. A large amount of gold and silver was lost in the tax and silver case. The Hong family of Canglang Mountain was wiped out and was the largest grain merchant in the south of the Yangtze River."

"What does this whole series revolve around? Money and food."

As Gu Shiwei said, he wrote two more words "account book" on the paper.

"Xia Zhixian tore off three account books and hid them on his children. The Hong family in Canglang Mountain was destroyed because of those account books..."

The more I sorted out the case, the more I found that the dots were connected one by one, as if everything suddenly became clear to my eyes.

Gu Shiwei's mouth went dry when she said this. She raised her head suddenly and met Han Shiyan's hot eyes.

He looked at her with bright eyes, and his eyes were very much like her looking at the stone lion in front of Wang Yushi's house...

The two were sitting across from each other before, pushing the refreshments to the side for the convenience of reading the paintings. Now, in order to facilitate Han Shiyan's writing, she tilted her whole body towards the center of the table, and Han Shiyan sat in the same way in order to read the words.

Now that the two of them looked up at the same time, the distance was actually too close.

Gu Shiwei could even see the lines in Han Shiyan's black eyes that were like the undulating lines at the bottom of a pool.

I could clearly feel the warm breath of the man opposite me, as well as a faint and indescribable smell on his body.

The smell seemed to suddenly fill the whole room, and suddenly became infinitely larger.

Gu Shiwei felt that she could no longer breathe easily. She pulled back suddenly and sat upright, but she saw Han Shiyan also pulled back like she was, and sat upright as if he had been burned.

He picked up the tea cup and took a pretending sip. The base of his ears was redder than the hawthorn soup on the table.

Gu Shinwei took a deep breath and stood up suddenly, "Let's go find Tao Ran. He is the only survivor now."

"The deputy director in front of the palace must be careful that it can't be some kind of death talisman for the Lord of Hell, right? Wang Shen is dead, Yuan Huo is dead, and I don't believe that Tao Ran will die again."

Han Shiyan looked at Gu Shiwei quietly, and he opened his mouth, wanting to imitate Cui Yixing and go straight to Huanglong.

But he still forced himself to hold it back.

They were talking about the case at the moment, so it was not a good time for him to propose to Gu Shiwei.

He thought as he was about to get up.

But when she saw Gu Shiwei sitting down with a weird look on her face, she beat her head in frustration, "Look, there's something I forgot to mention. Take a look at the time points when these things happened, and I'll sort them out. "

"First, the people behind the tax bank case stole a large amount of gold and silver; then the people behind the Feiqiao case instigated Li Changxing to assassinate the officials; then Guan Yushi received the petition and went to Xia Zhi County. At this time, Xia Zhi County received A letter from the Imperial City Secretary."

"When the King of Qi and the ghosts in the imperial city slandered Zhang Chunting, we had already confirmed that there was indeed such a letter, but it was not written by Zhang Chunting. Now it seems that it is most likely written by Zhai Di. "

"After the Fei Que case, King Qi knew that there was another group of forces secretly there, and he had been investigating. It was probably at this time that he found out about Magistrate Xia. This letter became his reminder."

"The people behind the scenes were worried that Xia Zhixian would defect to the King of Qi, so they borrowed the sword of Guan Yushi to eradicate Xia Zhixian. They also sent Yuan Huo over to find out whether he had left any unfavorable evidence or said anything to his daughter." It was here that Yuan Huo found two broken pages of the account book and handed them over to the person behind the scenes. "

"It was this fragment of page that led the people behind the scenes to point the finger at the Hong family in Canglang Mountain. The Hong family is a grain merchant. Although I still don't know what role they played in this, their account book is Strong evidence that can cause turmoil in the court."

Han Shiyan listened carefully and understood what Gu Shiwei meant.

Anyone who can produce this kind of account book that can be used as evidence of crime must be a participant in the crime. This is the backup they left for themselves.

"It's just that the code in the Hong's account book was very hidden. The reason why I know how to identify it is because the Imperial City Bureau also got an account book. But it was a blank page, with no words written on it, only ink from the previous page."

"We can vaguely see that it is an account book, and we accidentally found the Hong family's mark in the middle of the paper."

"But even if they knew that Hong was on guard against him and secretly made an account book, the people behind the scenes did not take action against them at this time."

"I don't know if he didn't find the Hong family's mark in a short period of time, or if he had other considerations."

Gu Shiwei said, pointing to Li Jingzhe and Jiang Xun, "Then the time came to Li Jingzhe and Jiang Xun. Li Jingzhe's accident was exactly the same as what happened to Xia Zhixian."

"The King of Qi found out about Li Jingzhe and Jiang Xun, so he used Guan Yushi to make a knife again and eradicated Li Jingzhe. At the same time, he eradicated Jiang Xun before Ma Hongying arrived."

"Then we go to Canglang Mountain."

"This is back to the Hong family in Canglang Mountain because Zhang Chunting asked me to investigate whether the Hong family in Canglang Mountain had the account book. This time, the entire Hong family in Canglang Mountain was wiped out, leaving no chickens or dogs behind."

"Like Ma Hongying, I was too late and failed to save anyone alive. At the same time, the account book fell into the hands of the legendary Song Yu."

The more Gu Shiwei talked, the clearer his mind became, "Then King Qi was caught for treason."

"The person behind the scenes was worried that King Qi would expose his existence, so he took the initiative again and asked King Qi to write a confession and stop everything here."

"When I say this, have you discovered the characteristics of the person behind the scenes?"

Han Shiyan nodded and said in a deep voice, "I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will destroy them all."

Gu Shiwei rolled her eyes at Han Shiyan. The charming atmosphere in the room had completely disappeared. She said, "You are going to put gold on that man's face? How can he be so domineering?"

"He is that hideous bitch. When he sees that he may be discovered, he immediately jumps over the wall and kills people to silence him!"

"Look at how frightened he is. It's probably because he hasn't had a good night's sleep in so many years!"

Gu Shiwei said, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "Why don't you take a look in the morning and see which old guy has dark circles under his eyes like the iron-eating beast in Sichuan? It might be him!"

Han Shiyan couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought about how he had broken off each old man's head and stared into each other's eyes.

"Three of the ten old men played songs every night, three held lamps and read at night, and there were three old men who felt restless at home...the remaining one..."

Han Shiyan was just thinking about how to describe it when he heard Gu Shiwei smoothly continue, "The remaining one is covered in makeup and powder and cannot be seen clearly."
