Chapter 38
Seeing Du Jian leaving, Zixiang walked into the alley, saw Chang Ying brushing the fallen flowers on his arm, and asked, "Why is his face so gloomy?"

Changying said: "He doesn't have to hold me up and respect me."

Although the words were weird, but Zixiang thought about it, so he didn't say anything.He just said, "Where are we going now?"

Changying was silent for a while, and said, "Let's all go back home. I have something important to say."

After a whistle went out, everyone showed up together.

Returning to Zhizhou Mansion a quarter of an hour later, Chang Ying followed Zi Xiang to guard the door, and then said to everyone: "The situation is not very good now, Cheng Xiao already knows who I am."

Everyone straightened their backs immediately.

"Cheng Xiao knew my background, so he was so confident that he carried out Fang Tong's body without concealment, and made up such a stupid reason.

"He told Du Jian about it, no matter whether Du Jian has secret contacts with me or not, the news will eventually reach my ears.

"For him, as long as I know that my life experience has been leaked, his goal will be achieved.

"He just wanted to use this to make me retreat and stop participating. Because he knew that once the news of my stay in Huzhou reached the capital, Ling Yuan would definitely not let me go."

Shaoqing stood up: "But how did he know? Xiuxiu was covering you when you left Beijing, and no one knew about it except Third Uncle Rong. Even I was almost defeated because I couldn't find anyone. And return.

"Besides, I have asked my brother to take care of both the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army in the capital. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to know that you are here!"

"If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing." Changying couldn't tell him in detail how Cheng Xiao inquired about her, and helped the table and said, "How he knows now is not important. The important thing is that he is provoking me. , He wants to use my life experience to force me to retreat."

"This old man!" Huang Ji patted the table, "You're so cunning, did you forget this old life when you co-authored it, or did we pick it up?!"

Zhou Liang was also very angry, how could he not be angry?The most speechless thing was taken by Cheng Xiao, and there was nothing they could do about it!

"What should we do now?" Shaoqing's face turned blue, and a pair of sword eyebrows almost stood upright above Ruifeng's eyes.

Changying said: "It is reasonable to weigh the pros and cons, and at this time it is time to retreat. But the more arrogant Cheng Xiao is, the more I feel that he is impatient.

"The last time the man in black hijacked him could not have had no effect on him. Whether he intends to destroy the evidence or transfer the evidence, there will definitely be many actions. For example, the official bank you found tonight."

Several people looked at each other, Huang Ji said: "If the batch of official money is sure to be related to him, it will be his deathbed!"

"Not necessarily." Zhou Liang glanced at him, "Did you forget that you still have that ledger? His secret must be more than this one!"

Changying looked at them: "Anyway, I don't intend to give up.

"First of all, we need to determine whether this batch of money has anything to do with Cheng Xiao.

"The Zhenhai gang has power in water transport, and recently took over the business of two ships. I speculate that since Cheng Xiao is helping the East Palace, it is very likely that this batch of official money was sent from the imperial court, in Huzhou, or even in Changxing. After turning around, he went back to the capital, but the money in the emperor's hand became the prince's money.

"And the ledger in his hand is likely to be related to the money - of course, there may be other uses.

"Although I don't understand why Cheng Xiao left such a ledger instead of destroying it? Is this the order of Luo Yuan or the prince, or is it his own intention?
"And what kind of collusion is there between the Zhenhai Gang and the Dongying people? But all these things point to one thing, the ledger in Cheng Xiao's hand is indeed a terrible ledger."

Huang Ji was stunned for a moment: "The boss wants to take Cheng Xiao's blame completely?"

"It must be taken!" Changying took the cup that Zixiang brought in, stroked the cup with her fingers and said, "Since Cheng Xiao wants to blackmail me, then of course I can't accept his blackmail obediently. The only way to not want to be blackmailed is to go back to Huzhou, there is another The solution, of course, is to take him!"

Everyone's heart fluttered, and their drooping shoulders were raised again.

"I'm sure you've already understood," she said, "Cheng Xiao's crimes are there, no matter how guilty he is, our chances of turning things around are great.

"Since he wants to deal with me, at this point, I have no choice but to go all the way to the dark. Anyway, even if I obediently obey him, the news may not be covered up."

It can be said that the position of the crown prince is now fully secured by the Gu family. In the future, he will have to spend a lot of effort to fight against the imperial power. His lack of money is not difficult for Shen Changying who came back from the previous life to be sure. .

Judging from all the signs, there is no doubt that the Zhenhai gang's money is the prince's conspiracy.

Since this matter is still related to the struggle for imperial power, then why is she not determined to deal with Cheng Xiao?
"Yes!" After pondering for a moment, Shaoqing spoke out first, "Cheng Xiao is so arrogant, we not only have to seal his mouth, but also peel off his skin!"

After speaking, he immediately said: "Didn't Du Jian go to investigate Cheng Xiao? Then I'll go and investigate the Zhenhai Gang first!"

Changying had no objection.

But she thought for a while, and then said: "You go to the Zhenhai Gang, mainly because the water transport line is worth keeping an eye on.

"If this batch of official money really came from Cheng Xiao, then he will definitely show his feet.

"Because he doesn't know what we've got, go to the pier to ambush, so maybe you can get evidence of whether the official bank has anything to do with him.

"But other than that," she paused at this point, and then said, "Forget it, I'll do the rest by myself, you guys go. When you go out, stay hidden, Cheng Xiao not only stares at me, but also Also watching you."

"Countless!"

Shaoqing patted his chest and went out.

When all the people left, Zi Xiang came in with another bowl of soup.

"That's what Du Jian was talking about when he was looking for a girl?" She had been outside just now, and she hadn't had time to express her shock.

Changying nodded, lowered her head and took a sip of the soup.

When it comes to this incident, they will always be surprised or moved. It has been three years, and for her, all the jitters have been calmed down.

Having been human for two lifetimes, she finally knows that the world is impermanent, and accidents will always happen inadvertently in life. Although she conceals her identity in every possible way, but Cheng Xiao knows, this is also a helpless thing.
