The whole family went crazy after reading my mind, and I became a favorite after eating melons

"The Liuzhou government recently selected a site for reconstruction. Because it was troublesome to move many things, they were all left in the old site, which is where the fire broke out today."

"If I remember correctly, there was a large warehouse in the old site, which recorded every detail of Liuzhou over the years. The most important one is the account book."

Xu Zhiyan raised her eyes and looked at Li Wenjin, her tone serious.

"Brother Wen Jin, you are investigating corruption, but the most important ledger has been burned. It's hard not to think that the suspect jumped over the wall in a hurry."

Li Wenjin had thought of this when he knew there was a fire here and the fire was fast and violent. But if that was what he thought, the direction was too obvious.

He thought for a moment and then told her his thoughts.

"I don't think this was done by people on the corruption list, because those people are too obvious and the evidence is easy to obtain. Even if the ledger is burned, it will not change the outcome of imprisonment, so I prefer people outside the list. made."

When Xu Zhiyan heard this, she realized that he was suspicious.

"I understand. I will stay well at the inn. If you have anything to do, just go ahead and do it."

[I will never be your dragnet. 】

Li Wenjin almost subconsciously answered that she was no longer his drag. Fortunately, he realized in time that what he heard was only the voice of his heart, and swallowed the words in a circle around his mouth.

"Okay, be good."

After he escorted Xu Zhiyan back, the gentle look on his face faded away when he turned around, and his voice was as calm as the sea before a storm.

"Half of the people stayed at the inn to strengthen the protection of the inn. The rest went with Gu to meet our Chengzhou Shepherd and see if he was willing to take this risky step."

Yes, the first person Li Wenjin suspected was the highly praised "good official" Cheng Li.

Only he, a person who has not been exposed at all in front of the public, would make such a ruthless move to preserve everything.

The way to the Liu Mansion went smoothly, and so did the entrance. Cheng Li stood there smiling and greeted Li Wenjin as if he had never done anything before, "How come your Highness has time to come here? Is there anything I need to talk to you about?" Discuss?"

As he spoke, he motioned for Li Wenjin to sit down.

This calm posture was too confusing. Li Wenjin temporarily suppressed his words and strode to the main seat to sit down. Cheng Li did not sit down immediately. The two sat and stood looking at each other. They should have been weak. The sitting posture is extremely oppressive.

Under the gaze of those eyes that seemed to see everything, Chengli felt for a moment that he was standing here naked, with a sense of shame and fear lingering around him.

Chengli realized that his state was not right, and immediately took a seat to avoid looking at others. After sitting down, his inner defense line was re-established.

"Your Highness, why don't you speak?"

He's gambling.

Bet that Li Wenjin only doubted him without evidence.

As long as he continues to insinuate whether he is the culprit of the fire, he will avoid it or pretend to be stupid. The more times he deals with it, the calmer his mind will be, and it will be easier to face everything in the future.

But Li Wenjin didn't play according to common sense.

Chengli was stunned when he heard those words, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

"I want to ask you, did you set fire to the old government building to burn the account books and cover up the evidence of your corruption?"

While Li Wenjin was repeating the question, Cheng Li was frantically trying to stabilize himself, but the effect was not good. He could only barely raise the corners of his lips to Li Wenjin.

"Your Highness, this is your agreement. I have been ill in recent days due to the tedious official duties. I have been recovering in the mansion. I feel better today and I have to go back to deal with the accumulated official duties. Only then did I hear about the government scandal."

The implication. This matter has nothing to do with him.

Li Wenjin's eyes vaguely glanced at Cheng Li's fingers that were holding the cuffs, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, "Chengzhou Mu's words are just for the unknown. It's a bit bold to lie to an orphan. Maybe you really think that those hundreds of thousands of taels are worth it." Is Silver Trend handled very cleanly?”

The centrifugal mouth was suffocated.

If he could still hold on to a certain level of defense just now, now he is mentally defeated, but sitting in the position of state pastor for a long time has allowed him to practice the skill of not changing his face even if the mountain collapses in front of him. Shangya looked calm.

"Your Highness..."

He wanted to defend himself by saying that he had never seen so much money, but Li Wenjin's eyes were like those of a hunting beast, which made him feel as if he was about to be bitten on the neck.

……

Xu Zhiyan, who stayed at the inn, was unaware of the changes in the outside world. She was so invested in reading the business case Huarong wrote for her that she didn't even notice Xu Yanqing approaching.

"What are you looking at so fascinated by?"

The sudden sound in her ears startled Xu Zhiyan. She jumped up suddenly and hit his chin with the top of her head. Two cries of pain sounded at the same time.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Nanny, are you okay?"

The two of them cared about each other immediately, their voices collided, and both of them were very moved.

Xu Yanqing suddenly felt that the pain on her chin was nothing. He put down his hand boldly to see how her head was doing, but she held him down.

"What's wrong?"

Along with the sound came blood foam.

Xu Yanqing's eyes glazed over for a moment.

I didn't feel much pain, but I was bleeding?

Xu Zhiyan saw what he was thinking, "It's not that you don't feel pain, it's that the pain is so extreme that you are numb. Come on, open your mouth and let me take a look. Such a handsome face cannot be ruined by missing teeth!"

Based on her words, Xu Yanqing thought of how silly he looked when he grinned but his charm was greatly reduced because of the missing tooth, and he suddenly got excited.

"Sister, please show me quickly. If the tooth is really broken, sister, you have to help me figure out how to fix the tooth. I haven't married a wife yet, so I can't be unable to get a wife just because I have no teeth!"

"Okay, stop pushing, open your mouth quickly!"

Xu Zhiyan slapped Xu Yanqing angrily, and he opened his mouth aggrievedly. She took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief, [Fortunately, the teeth are still sound, but there was a cut with the tongue. 】

"It's a small problem. Don't worry about losing your wife because of missing teeth. Come on, take a sip. Don't swallow it directly. Hold it in your mouth to nourish your tongue."

Knowing that it was not a tooth problem, Xu Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief and took a big mouthful of the powder. Because the powder would be sprayed out whenever he spoke, he stopped talking. But it was too uncomfortable not to talk, so he started Pulling Xu Zhiyan away and moaning.

Xu Zhiyan really couldn't understand what he was humming, so she slapped the pen and paper in front of him.

"It's not like I can't write. Come on, write down everything you want to say!"

Xu Yanqing grabbed the pen and paper and pushed the paper back after a while. Xu Zhiyan looked down and was furious.

I don’t have anything to say, I just want to moan.
