After entering the wrong bridal chamber, I went to farm with the powerful minister

Chapter 695 Careful Investigation
His voice was quite loud, and even though they were at a considerable distance, Fu Ciyi and the others could still hear it clearly.

The six people hid behind the wall.

After Fu Minghe's sneer faded away, Fu Ciyi raised his hand, and the five people followed him, dodging left and right, and successfully arrived outside a house.

This is Fu Zhengqing's study. The door is closed and there is someone guarding the front of the room.

Fu Ciyi led them around to the back window, took out a dagger, pried open the window bolt, and climbed in quietly.

The movements are smooth and flowing.

Yan Bojian gave him a thumbs up for his skills: "You are really good at climbing over the wall!"

Fu Ciyi made a gesture to speak in a low voice.

Yan Bojian nodded.

Everyone looked around and saw that in addition to books, the study also contained a number of antiques, calligraphy and painting collections.

Yan Bojian asked softly, "What are we looking for?"

Fu Ciyi also whispered, "Fu Zhengqing's correspondence with officials in the capital, gift lists, etc."

After a slight pause, he added: "By the way, please help me find the will written by my grandfather. My grandfather's name is Fu Da."

A few people nodded to show that they understood and started looking separately.

After searching for nearly two quarters of an hour, there was no suspicious letter in Fu Zhengqing's study, let alone a gift list.

Yan Bojian narrowed his eyes and tapped the wall and floor tiles with his fingers, hoping to find out if there was a dark room or secret compartment, but there was none.

"This Fu Zhengqing is either well hidden or he doesn't keep it in the study." Yan Bojian asked in a low voice, "Where should we look for him next?"

"Go to Fu Er's study." Fu Ciyi explained, "Fu Er is my grandfather's younger brother."

The six men put all the items back in place, leaving no trace, and climbed out through the back window.

Fu Ciyi still led the way.

The group of six were agile and quick in their movements, and successfully avoided the patrolling guards of the Fu family.

There was no one outside Fu Er's study, but the door was also closed.

They still entered through the window.

Compared to Fu Zhengqing's tidy study, Fu Er's study actually has a musty smell.

It seems that some of the books have not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

The six of them wrinkled their noses at the same time and started searching.

Fu Ciyi said, "The owner of this house wants to find a will."

In fact, he had come to look for it before being driven out of the mansion, but found nothing.

Fu Jiang said: "Your grandfather is our old grandfather. What does his will look like? Have you ever seen it?"

Fu Ciyi said calmly: "No."

Yan Bojian said, "What else can a will look like? Isn't it just written on a piece of paper and put in an elegant envelope?" He raised his hand, "Look for them all, be quick."

Six people were busy.

But still no results.

Yan Bojian asked: "Is there any other study room here?"

Fu Ciyi said calmly: "Yes, Fu Zhengqing's son Fu Minghe, his study is not far from here."

Yan Bojian asked again: "Is he the one who sneered just now?"

Yan Bojian nodded: "Yes, he failed the imperial examination and is probably in his study at home preparing for the next imperial examination."

Yan Bojian glanced at the sky and said, "It's lunch time now. Let's take the opportunity to go over there and find it quickly."

"Alright."

The group left Fu Er's study.

When I arrived outside Fu Minghe's study, the doors and windows were all closed and there was no one guarding it.

There were voices talking inside.

Fu Ciyi and Yan Bojian stood in the middle, with their respective guards on both sides.

I heard not only talking but also laughter.

Through the crack in the window, I saw Fu Minghe hugging a woman. The woman said, "The young mistress ordered Min'er to come here, so that the eldest young master can have lunch."

"I'll eat you later."

Fu Minghe reached out and lifted up her skirt, and started groping and grabbing her for a while, causing the woman to stick to him.

"Min'er is the young mistress's maid. How can Min'er live like this if the eldest young master is like this?"

"I will marry you. Besides, Yan Haitang still can't get pregnant, who can I blame?"

After saying that, Fu Minghe started to bite the woman.

The six people outside the window left in a hurry.

Everyone looked unhappy.

Since it was daytime, the women from the second branch of the Fu family lived in the adjacent courtyard, so it was not advisable to go there to search.

Fu Ciyi had no choice but to take Yan Bojian and others out of the Fu Mansion.

Fu He's stomach growled, and then Zhen Fengzhen's stomach followed suit.

"You are so disappointing. You haven't done your job yet, but you're already hungry?" Yan Bojian glanced at them, then turned to look at Fu Ciyi: "Brother-in-law, shall we have a meal first?"

Fu Ciyi nodded and found a small restaurant.

"Some local gentry often invite Fu Zhengqing to drink, so we chose this place to have dinner." He explained in a low voice, "Before I have evidence, I should not meet him."

"understand."

Yan Bojian grabbed a handful of chopsticks and passed them out one pair at a time.

Zhenfeng and others were flattered and stood up one by one to take the chopsticks he handed over.

Yan Bojian raised his hand to signal them to sit down: "Let's eat quickly, and follow my brother-in-law's instructions after dinner."

They were all young men and they ate very quickly.

It only took a quarter of an hour before they paid the bill and left the restaurant.

Yan Bojian stood beside Fu Ciyi: "Where should we go next?"

"County government office." Fu Ciyi uttered these two words lightly.

Yan Bojian was puzzled: "Didn't you say you don't want to meet people?"

"Yes, so we have to avoid the county officials and the capturers." Fu Ciyi walked away.

Yan Bojian pointed at the four people following behind him and said, "It's time to test your Qinggong skills."

When we arrived outside the Ling County government office, we saw people coming and going just at the gate.

They had to go around to the backyard.

After all, it is a county government office, and the guards are much stricter than those at Fu’s mansion.

Fortunately, it was lunch time, and most of the officers and catchers in the county government were eating in the cafeteria except for their daily guard duties.

This made it easier for Fu Ciyi and others to take action.

Considering that it was daytime, Fu Ciyi instructed: "This time we are just trying to find out the truth, don't rush to find evidence."

After saying that, he was the first to jump onto the beam of the Yanei.

Seeing him do this, the remaining five people did the same thing and all hid themselves on the beams and the roof rafters.

A quarter of an hour later, someone came over.

Fu Ciyi, who was hiding on the beam, narrowed his eyes. The person who came was Fu Zhengqing, followed by Lu Wenfeng.

Fu Zhengqing said angrily, "Lu Wenfeng, as the county magistrate, you should assist the county. On the basis of assisting the county, you should personally handle the county's taxation, household registration and other affairs. I see that you are a Hanlin, so is it wrong to hand over the clerical affairs of the county government to you?"

"What County Magistrate Fu said is very true." Lu Wenfeng said, "I am already doing these official duties. I just want to make some time to eat. County Magistrate Fu won't allow it?"

"You don't have the spirit of working day and night." Fu Zhengqing smiled, "No wonder you were demoted to this point."

Lu Wenfeng said calmly, "Everyone in the county government, from the county magistrate to the gatekeeper, can go to the canteen on time to eat, but I can't. Magistrate Fu is targeting me because I passed the imperial examination and your son failed?"

Fu Zhengqing snorted, "My son will definitely be admitted to high school next year, but with your attitude, do you believe that he won't even be able to be a county magistrate?"

Lu Wenfeng smiled and said, "If Magistrate Fu's power is so great that he can influence the appointment of officials in Dajing, then I would rather not be the county magistrate."

"Are you laughing at the fact that my position as county magistrate is not high enough?"

"The county magistrate has been doing petty things for decades, and he is still a county magistrate. Isn't it ridiculous?"
