The Concubine's Frivolous Daughter: Nine Thousand Years Old with a Monster

Chapter 69 Book of Accounts
A crisp female voice came, making Zhidong's eyes light up, and asked with some surprise: "Master, is that you? Are you here?"

"Well, it's me." Yuci nodded heartily, looking at the surprise in Zhidong's eyes, she was a little dazed, when did this girl expect her to come so much?
Zhidong confirmed that the person who came was his master, he quickly got up and wanted to get out of bed to salute her, but when he just moved, Yu Cixin held her down and stuffed her back into the quilt.

"What can you do with such a serious injury? Rest on the bed for me until the injury is healed!" When she pushed Zhidong back just now, she took a rough look at the wound on her body. The position of the scapula on her left shoulder should be It was pierced by an arrow. Although it was bandaged, blood still oozes out because of the action just now.But it seems that it only hurt the flesh, not the muscles and bones, otherwise it would not be able to support getting up.

There is also a wound on Zhidong's waist and abdomen that is one foot wide and two fingers deep, which should have been scratched by a sharp sword, but luckily it wasn't a vital part, otherwise she would have gone to see the Tathagata Buddha a long time ago.

In addition to these two obvious wounds, Zhidong may have some small hidden wounds on his body.It's just that she was lying on the bed and shouldn't move too much, so Yu Cixin didn't investigate further.

"How did you get this injury? What did I say when you came here? Let all of your actions be based on saving your life, but it turned out that you were fine, and it was so miserable. Do you know that if the arrow wound on your shoulder No matter how far you are with two fingers, no amount of superb medical skills can save you!" Yu Cixin looked at the pale Zhidong, and couldn't help feeling angry, she had clearly confessed before, how could these girls be like this? Disobedient!

"Master, calm down, Zhidong will never act recklessly again." Zhidong lay on the bed, met her master's angry eyes, she bit her lip, admitting her mistake.

"Tell me, what is the relationship between the martial law at the gate of Xiangzhou City these two days and your investigation two days ago?" Yu Cixin crossed his arms, found a chair in the room and sat down, ready to hear what Dong wanted to do next. explanation of.

"Master, Zhidong went to the governor's mansion two days ago, and went to find out the facts according to the news that Huamei had sent from the capital. But he accidentally broke into the governor's study, and when he was about to leave, he saw the governor's office. Zhou Shiwu came in, followed by a housekeeper. Zhidong had no choice but to find a place to hide. This time he hid for nearly half an hour, and then saw them mysteriously put a booklet in the In a dark compartment on the top of a bookshelf. After they left, I took out the booklets they put in the dark compartment. When I left the study, I ran into Zhou Shiwu who had turned back at the door. This injury was caused when he ran. Yes." Zhidong recounted what happened that day, and incidentally said what was recorded in the booklet she brought back.

"So, the booklet you got is the account book of Zhou Shiwu's bribery over the years?" Yuci was a little surprised. What kind of luck is this? He visited the governor's mansion at night and took away the evidence of corruption. No wonder the gate of Xiangzhou city has been so strictly checked in the past two days. If this thing leaks out, even if Zhou Shiwu has two heads, it will not be enough for him to lose.

Under Zhidong's description, Yu Cixin found the account book in a corner of the room, took it in his hand and began to read it.As she flipped through the pages, her brows became more and more wrinkled.The governor of Xiangzhou is not a big official, but he didn't expect that the money embezzled was equivalent to half of the national treasury, which is really surprising.

Yu Cixin didn't notice that Yan Ning, who had been following her, was obviously disappointed when she saw that the account book was not her father's booklet, but as she flipped through it, she saw several items on the account book. The moment she heard the familiar name, she clenched her hand unconsciously, and the slender fingertips dug into the palm of her hand. There was a sharp pain, and a trace of blood flowed down her fingertips, dripping a few drops on the ground. superior.

After browsing the contents of the entire account book, Yu Cixin took a deep breath and closed it. According to the records in it, Zhou Shiwu could almost use the four words "greedy" to describe him.It can be compared with He Shen, the first corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty.

To sum it up in one sentence: there is no most greedy, only more greedy!

"It's no wonder you were injured so badly. It's not without reason! But it's not unlucky for you to be able to escape under severe injuries. Now that the governor's mansion has been frightened, it's best not to make any changes during this time." , I will discuss the next plan with them when Zhichun and the others come back later, as for you, it is important to recover from your injuries." Yu Cixin glanced at Zhidong lying on the bed again, and said angrily said a word.

When she turned around to look at Yan Ning, she noticed a few drops of bright red at her feet. She looked up and saw Yan Ning's clenched hands. She quickly grabbed her hand and squeezed her finger. Opened the root and asked: "Yan Ning, what's the matter with you? I pinched my palm like this, it's bleeding and I don't feel any pain?"

"Princess, Yan Ning is fine, but I saw a few familiar names in the account book, and I didn't pay attention for a while." Yan Ning recovered and looked at her bloody palm. To be honest, she didn't feel any pain. Because the pain in her heart hurt her far more than the pain in her body.

The names of those people who appeared on the account book were all her father's former loyal subordinates, but now they donate so much silver taels to Xiangzhou Governor Zhou Shiwu every year, what does this make her think?Could they be involved in the incident eight years ago?Was the grievance of her Ruan family just pushed by them?

These questions flashed through Yan Ning's mind for a moment, she didn't have an answer, and she didn't know whether she should speculate like this, but she just felt very uncomfortable.Why did such a good person as her father end up being wronged and died? His former subordinates lived such a happy life.God is really unfair, not only the good people are not rewarded, but also let the bad people be so free and easy.

"Don't worry, since we've come, no one involved in your father's case will be able to get away." Yu Cixin shook Yan Ning's other uninjured hand, and patted her. The back of the hand comforted.

Yan Ning smiled faintly at her, nodded, then took out from her bosom the bottle of ointment that Yu Cixin had given her a few days ago, and applied it to her palm.

In order to let Zhidong heal his wounds with peace of mind, Yu Cixin asked what he needed to ask, and went to the yard with the ledger and Yan Ning.

Except for the two young men guarding the gate and Zhidong who was recuperating in the house, there was no one else in this house, probably Zhichun sent them out.

Sitting on the stone bench in the yard and waiting until evening, Zhichun and the others came back one after another. Seeing Yu Cixin with a strange face in the yard, they were all shocked, thinking that someone had broken into the yard, and hurriedly Staring at her and Yan Ning with vigilant eyes.

It wasn't until Yu Cixin smiled softly, and then told their names, that Zhichun and the others were relieved, it turned out that it was the master's presence that caused them a false alarm.

When the lights came on, those who had been sent out returned to the small courtyard. Yuci took a rough look at it, and found that it was very good, and none of them was missing.

Because they bought this small house at the beginning, considering that they came out to find out the news, they didn't come back with the cook and maid.Now that the master is here, these people have been beggars since they were young, and they can only bake things reluctantly. How can they cook good dishes? Facing a crowd of people for dinner tonight, they have encountered difficulties.In the end, it was Yu Cixin who said that there was still some dry food brought out two days ago, and it was only by eating a meal that the embarrassing situation was resolved.
