Chapter 44 Asking for an Answer
The courtyard was filled with his roar, but it was strange that no one came in again.

He seemed to realize it too, and looked at Du Jian again with horror.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Du Jian smiled: "A person who can convict you even if you don't submit evidence."

Hearing the words, Cheng Xiao felt as if he had seen a ghost, he even swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva but did not speak.

Changying also glanced at Du Jian's profile.

Although he knows that he has a strategy, but I'm afraid that Ling Yuan and Fu Rong are here, and they dare not say it easily. Is it really good to be so arrogant?

"Okay, very good!" Cheng Xiao gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words, then laughed a few times, then looked over and said, "What you said is not wrong, the ledgers are indeed filled with ulterior motives .

"The imperial court is only looking for local officials to pay taxes, how does it know our difficulties?

"In order to seize power these years, the imperial court seems to be governed by civilian officials, but in fact the military generals control the strength of the army. Let alone Sonaqiang, who is in the army, he often flaunts his might. If I don't come up with some ideas to fill this gap , how can there be a way out in the future?!"

"Don't force your words, okay?" Changying was a little impatient, she glanced down the corridor, and then said in a rambling voice: "By the way, if Mr. Cheng dies, what will happen to these flowers?"

Cheng Xiao was startled when he heard this.

"Master! Nankang Wei Tan Shao is coming to Changxing with his troops!"

Just at this moment, a strange face came in from outside the door, and when they came in front of Du Jian, they leaned over and reported.

Cheng Xiao's facial muscles twitched again, and suddenly he spotted the Taihu Stone beside him, and rushed forward with all his strength!
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Du Jian flew up and slapped him with his palm, and then said, "Bring it to the doctor! Keep alive!"

The messenger left immediately.

Although Cheng Xiao tried to commit suicide, he was hit on the side by Du Jian's palm and spit out blood!
The movement reached the courtyard gate.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Cheng hadn't gone to bed because of Cheng Mei's night out. At this time, she couldn't help but came to the door, but was stopped by the people brought by Du Jian, and she lost her position in panic.

Hearing that something happened to Cheng Xiao, he screamed and rushed in.

Du Jian simply pulled Changying back, and let them fight for the sky!
"Girl!" Zixiang rushed into the courtyard gate and rushed over, "You're fine, that's great!"

There were just a few words here, and then there was a large sound of footsteps coming from far and near at the door, and there was a loud voice ordering to surround the whole house, and soon a large number of soldiers appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Wearing silver armor, the general is as majestic as a god descending.

"The last general has seen the general!"

Chang Ying hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Tan Shao glanced at her, nodded, and then walked towards the fallen Cheng Xiao: "What's going on?"

"Cheng Xiao rushed over to seek death when he heard that his crime had been exposed!" Chang Ying followed.

Tan Shao looked around the field, then looked at Cheng Xiao who was breathing heavily with wide eyes, got up and said: "Take it down! Immediately seal the gates of all the houses, and escort Cheng Xiao's family and all the people involved in the case to stand by!"

Du Jian took advantage of the crowds to leave the yard, Chang Ying felt a flash of people around him, but he was no longer there.

...The rest of the night is destined to be busy.

Changying followed Tan Shao and told all the details of the incident, and led the way to Zhenhai to help the lair to capture the bandit leader.

And because what is involved here is still the power struggle between the prince and the emperor, many things need to be covered up, so as not to tear out holes beyond their response range.

Obviously, in Cheng Xiao's case, they can only report that he colluded with gangsters and conspired to embezzle official money, and they cannot directly point out that he is working for the master behind it.

If the higher-ups want to investigate, they will naturally send people to Beijing to follow the vines. If they don't want to investigate, then you, a small guard, dare to accuse the crown prince of embezzling official money, obviously you don't want to live.

"It's a good job." Tan Shao said to Chang Ying who was sitting on the left when he gathered his subordinates together in the courtyard at the end of Chenshi, "It seems that our general Shen is still very keen on capturing the enemy's situation. Go back and give Get credit!"

It is rare that Tan Shao, who is always serious, even made a joke today, and everyone is very relaxed.

But Changying knew that as the head of the guard, as a soldier, how could he be in a bad mood at this moment?
Don't talk about other places, just talk about this area of ​​Huzhou, where bandits have repeatedly killed and killed, local officials have amassed money beyond measure, colluded with bandits to conspire with the court for money, and took the lives of the soldiers of the guards to fight!

This time, Cheng Xiao was finally taken away, and such a scandal was torn out, it was finally a way for the soldiers who had suffered bloody injuries during the suppression of the bandits in the past, so when they are in a bad mood, when will they be happy?
When she finished her work and arrived in Du Jian's courtyard, it was already dusk.

Du Jian was cleaning his sword and didn't pay much attention when he saw her coming in.

"Congratulations, General Shen, you have made another contribution."

Chang Ying didn't reply, she leaned against the wall and looked at him: "I still haven't got the account book, what should you do?"

Du Jian blew on the blade of his sword: "Although it's a bit regrettable, but thanks to you, we found out this batch of official money, so there's nothing we can do."

Changying smiled, then suddenly let go of her folded hands, and took out a small roll of cloth from her sleeve.

"What?" Du Jian was puzzled.

"The account book you want."

Du Jian's eyes froze suddenly, and he took it and opened it.

After a few glances, he quickly closed it again!
The cloth was covered with handwriting, and all the records were the accounts of Jiangnan Road's involvement in collusion with pirates. There were not only the stamps of the handlers, but also the signatures and fingerprints of the Japanese pirates!

Du Jian stared at her for a while, then put on the veil, "How did you find it?"

Changying looked at the shiny green flower seedlings under the veranda: "Cheng Xiao actually doesn't know how to grow flowers. His orchids are watered too much, and I always wonder why they are so shiny and lush.

"Later, I suddenly discovered that he didn't raise the same orchid, which is worth thinking about. He didn't know how to grow flowers and kept growing flowers, and he always kept the same species. It always seemed to be covering up something.

"Yesterday, after I left the study room with him, I went back and took a look. I found that there is a hidden compartment under the flower pot."

Du Jian looked at her for a long time, and suddenly remembered that she was born in a noble family, and had spent ten years in the Ling family, so it was reasonable for her to become an expert in the affairs of the inner house.

He stretched his waist: "Why do you want to give it to me? If you submit it to the imperial court yourself, you may even be promoted to three ranks."

"I know." Changying nodded, "But if there is no foundation to support this official position, I will fall down one day.

She has no background, and she fought everything with bare hands. If she climbed to a high position, she would win, so why should she work so hard, and just work hard to make money and throw money through the back door.

Du Jian turned to look at her, her half-closed eyelashes were blurred into a shadow under the twilight, but the artistic conception was like ink, the more remote.

"Okay! I still have something to do, so I'll go first." She straightened up, "I asked you to help me out, and this is what I promised to give you."

She didn't have any special friendship with him. At that time, in order to gain more protection for herself, she asked Zixiang to hand him a paper ball, which said that she would give him an explanation afterwards, so that he could be released Please move.

Otherwise, why would he save her for no reason, a person who let her "do it for herself"?
Du Jian was noncommittal about her thoughts.

Seeing her walk to the threshold, he said again: "Shen Changying!"

Changying turned her head under the door.

He walked to the side, holding the inkpad and white paper that he took out at some point in his hand, and then he grabbed her finger and pressed it on the inkpad without any explanation, and then printed on the paper one by one.

Ten in a row, the movements were fast and neat.

Chang Ying was confused: "What are you doing?"

Du Jian put his hips on his hips and hooked his lips: "I want an answer."
