If he couldn't stand the situation in the city anymore, Ren Chuan would not have planned to take a trip into this muddy water. He saw this account book inadvertently. He couldn't understand it at first, but the prefect couldn't understand it when he saw it. When I was there, I hurriedly put away the account books.

Only then did Ren Chuan feel that there was something wrong with this account book, but at that time, he thought it was an account book that recorded the magistrate's corruption and bribery. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an account book that he had used to harm people.

"So I tried to read it again later and confirmed the contents above. But now, he should have hidden the account book very tightly. I have never seen it again."

"If you can get this account book, the prefect will probably tell you everything, right?"

Ren Chuan had also stayed in the magistrate's office for many days. He knew exactly what kind of person the Dingzhou magistrate was. He was greedy but timid, and he was really easy to handle.

"Actually, I came here to check the whereabouts of the disaster relief money. Since there has been no whereabouts, the governor asked me to stay here alone."

Lu Shengqing suddenly realized, "No wonder the governor would leave you here alone. It turns out you were sent here to investigate."

"I just didn't expect that before the matter I wanted to investigate was settled, I would run into this incident first."

[There will be no solution. As long as this matter is settled, won't it be clear what the handle is in Sheng Jingxuan's hands? 】

Lu Youyou still remembered what the third brother said when he came back. The man in black must have known something about the prefect, so he dared to let him kill people and silence them so boldly.

"That's all I know. The account book was exposed in front of me last time. It will probably be hidden in a more hidden place."

After Lu Wushuang heard what Ren Chuan said, he naturally thought of the map hanging in the prefect's study.

"That is to say, if we have this account book and the map, we can do what the prefect wants to do to harm people. But how can we find out the mastermind behind it?"

"The only way is to catch him red-handed, but I'm afraid I'll have to use the soldiers dad brought here."

Lu Zhiyan already had an idea in his mind and was waiting to be implemented.

Ren Chuan saw that the matter was almost settled and was ready to go back.

"If I go back too late and someone catches me, I'm afraid they will doubt me again, so I'll take my leave now, everyone."

"Hey, don't leave yet! I have something else I want to ask you."

Ren Chuan turned back and looked at Lu Wushuang, but Lu Zhiyan felt a vague premonition in his heart.

"Third Young Master, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"You obviously fainted in the grass that day. How come you disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Although Lu Wushuang didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he had always been curious about how Ren Chuan got back that night.

"Oh, that's nothing. I woke up and went back. I just couldn't sleep and went out for a walk, but I didn't expect to bump into you."

Ren Chuan didn't think this was anything special. Even though he was knocked unconscious, he wasn't unhappy. "It's just that I slept on the grass for a while that day, and my back hurt all night the next day."

He knew how to get out of trouble, and the expression on Lu Zhiyan's face quickly softened.

"I just didn't expect that it was the second young master who hit me that night."

Lu Zhiyan was already looking embarrassed. Even with a thick disguise on his face, Lu Youyou could tell that his face must be red now. [I didn’t expect that my second brother was not good at martial arts and could hit people with this. 】

The prince no longer had anything to blackmail the two of them, so Lu Zhiyan and Lu Wushuang were able to do things even more smoothly.

Lu Wushuang slowly brought the officers and soldiers his father left outside the city disguised as disaster victims into the city. Stealing the ledger was a trivial matter, but finding out the mastermind behind the scenes was the most important thing.

Lu Zhiyan began to prepare an antidote, but he knew in his heart that the poison had been inflicted for such a long time, and even if there was an antidote, it would probably cause irreversible damage to the physical condition of these people.

Therefore, resolving this matter as quickly as possible is the top priority.

In the evening of the next day, Lu Wushuang led a group of people and overturned all the sheds for distributing dry food. The people in the back didn't know what happened, but they saw a group of people in front going directly to the prefecture. yamen.

"Where is the prefect?"

The leader was the deputy general next to Lu Jingyuan. Although he was not tall or strong, he had been in the army all year round, and his aura of calmness and self-power would make most people afraid of him.

The yamen servant at the door spoke cautiously, "What do you want to do with the prefect?"

"The imperial court allocated 5,000 taels of disaster relief funds to us, saying it would allow us to rebuild our houses. It has been so long, why haven't we seen a word of it!"

The imperial edict was only given to the magistrate's office. The magistrate of Dingzhou thought that no one else would know about this matter, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly come to his door.

"This... we don't know this either."

"If you don't know, let your prefect come out and explain!"

There was a lot of noise at the door, so it was naturally impossible for the prefect to stay in the house. The incident happened so suddenly that he had no time to pack up the things in the study, so he simply closed the ledger and rushed to the front.

"Who are you? How dare you come to the Yamen to cause trouble."

The prefect had just come out of the study at the back and had no idea why the people in front of him were making trouble.

The yamen servant secretly reminded us, "Sir, they said that the imperial court allocated 5,000 taels of disaster relief funds to us, but why has it never been paid out?"

After hearing this, the expression on the prefect's face froze for a moment. This imperial edict was clearly only for him, how could anyone else know about it?

"Don't lie. When will the disaster relief funds be available? I don't even know!"

"The emperor has already issued an imperial edict, and you are still here to speak harshly. Do you think you can keep it all to yourself?"

The people around them were not as tough as them, but they still stood aside and watched the fun.

It was during this time that Lu Zhiyan and Lu Wushuang both sneaked into the prefect's study.

I didn’t expect that after so many days of busy work, this account book would come so easily.

Lu Wushuang couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that the prefect actually hid the account book under the floor tiles, and carefully filled the surrounding soil every time.

No wonder they both came in so many times and still didn't find it.

"Thanks to him for being able to come up with such a place. If he hadn't been in such a hurry to go out, I wouldn't have been able to find it even if I demolished the house."
