    Naturally, Su Mu knows Liu Xiaoran's tough-mouthed and soft-hearted character best. Although she occasionally becomes as cold as an ice cube, she is actually very talkative.

    "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, there is always a way, and if those people really have concerns and take action, it is easy to show their feet, and it is also a way to find out the people behind the scenes as soon as possible." Su Mu stretched out his handHe took a few account books from Liu Xiaoran's side, and because of many things, he has evolved from a person who can't read account books at all to a decent ancient person who can almost read numbers at a glance, "Since coming, then rest in peace.”

    Looking at Su Mu's appearance that he didn't intend to cry when the sky fell, Liu Xiaoran could only let go of this change for the time being. The two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit agreement silently, and then onlyThere was a rustling sound of paper.

    The Armed Forces Supervision has accumulated a lot of bad debts over the past few years. Su Mu has only checked the books for one year, and has already found several obvious mistakes. Zhang Yu obviously doesn't even bother to fool around, all the numbers are the same.It's a mess, it looks more like Zhang Yu filled it in according to his mood.

    "So bold, did you really think you would be found out?" Su Mu couldn't understand, even if it was really about corruption, at least he had to put on a face, and piled up here like a mess like this, reallyIt was amazing, "It seems that the people above also need to check it out, such mistakes can live safely for so many years."

    Liu Xiaoran didn't speak, but the paper he put next to him was already filled with densely packed annotations, and it was quite fruitful at first glance.

    The two of them were busy at both ends of the table until sunset. Lu Lingjue's work efficiency was always very high. When he came back, Su Mu's account books had not been read yet, but he had found all the people according to the names on the list.People stared.

    "Don't worry, none of them are left behind, and a few of them seem to have known about the rumors, and they were packing up and planning to run when they passed by." Lu Lingjue waved his hands disdainfully, "I won't give them a chance."

    The account books that Liu Xiaoran and Su Mu had already read were piled up like a hill. These things were enough for Zhang Yu to explain in front of the emperor. Now as long as these sources are found out, then Zhang Yu's private embezzlement of military pay is a certainty.

    "The account seven years ago is more careful than the later one, but there are still many flaws." Su Mu pointed to a few traces that had obviously been changed, frowned and shook his head, "Here is the account that was congratulated at that time."When the news of the general's defeat came, it seems that he also panicked and was afraid of being discovered, so he revised a few of them, but he thought that this person's plan was not up to the mark, after the revision, it is still... hard to say."

    Lu Lingjue is the one who is not good at calculation in Su Mu's words. It's not that he doesn't know how to learn. It's that he starts to feel sleepy when he sees numbers. Sometimes he can fall asleep on the spot under the stern gaze of his own adults.After walking over to take a look, he walked away in disgust.

    "Looking at this thing at night hurts the eyes. Yu Zhi, you and the adults have already found out so many problems. Rest first, and it will not be too late to look at it tomorrow. Then we will catch these people—"

    "These people are deeply ingrained. There may be dozens of people behind one, and there is no time to slow down now." Su Mu smiled and rubbed his eyes. It was indeed like what Lu Lingjue said, reading the account books at night was really hurting the eyes, butIt is also a last resort, "Now even those merchants have got the news. The news of Zhang Yu's grounding in Capital City is probably spread all over the world. Now countless people are anxious to erase their traces."

    "So if we make a conclusion this morning, we will be able to uproot this group of people as soon as possible."

    Lu Lingjue responded with a vague understanding, and then Liu Xiaoran expelled her back home on the grounds of blocking the light.

    "That's great. At the beginning of the day, his master let him go back to rest." Su Mu rested his head on his hands, stopped writing, looked at Liu Xiaoran's cold eyebrows and eyes in the flickering candlelight, and laughed and joked, "Master Zensheng LiuJust make me look at the account books?"

    Liu Xiaoran raised her eyes when she heard the words, and answered the question sternly and selflessly.

    "How dare, Master Su didn't take this by himself?"

    Good guy, this thing hasn't been turned over yet.

    Su Mu sighed dumbfoundedly, this Liu Xiaoran actually knew to talk about what she had done, really one can't judge a person by their appearance.

    He let out an exaggerated howl, like a poor man forced to work by some unscrupulous boss. He sighed for a long time when he picked up the pen, which made Liu Xiaoran look up at him again, and asked helplessly, "What about Su Xiao Marquis?"But do you want to go back and rest?"

    Su Mu immediately began to climb up the pole, moving forward a little.

    "It's not that I want to go back to rest... It's just that I miss something."

    Liu Xiaoran showed a little puzzled look: "What?"

    "Do you remember where was the last time we looked at the account books like this?" Su Mu didn't say it directly, and let it go.

    "Bishui county government office?" Liu Xiaoran still didn't know why.

    "Since Yan Xuan remembers, does he know what I miss?"

    Liu Xiaoran was silent for a while, and then opened her mouth uncertainly.

    "You are hungry?"

    He clearly remembered that the two of them came here after eating out on purpose. It took at most an hour, but Su Mu was already hungry again?

    "No, it's just that I saw Mrs. Liu cooking in person, and the noodles he made were amazing. That's why I never forgot it. The scene today is similar to that time, so..." Su Mu's eyes were filled with anticipation., "Should Master Liu?"

    Liu Xiaoran naturally remembered that night. At that time, he was quite defensive towards Su Mu, and he only acted because of the fact that the man was running around on the case, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it is still very unreasonable.

    It seems that since when he started, he has been especially special to Su Mu.

    He smiled slightly, and turned another page in the account book.

    "If you agree, you can take a good look at the account books?"

    "Of course!" Su Mu immediately picked up the account book very seriously.

    "The dining hall in Dali Temple has been locked. The nearest one is my place, but if you go after reading it, you may encounter a curfew. If you can't go back to Marquis Mansion—"

    Su Mu just didn't remember for a while, he was not free at night, and he had to go back under the curfew in the city.

    But it was a pity to give up this opportunity that was so hard to come by. He wavered from side to side for a while, frowning his brows in distress, and soon Liu Xiaoran let go.

    "The house is crude, if Master Su doesn't dislike it, then we can stay overnight and come back tomorrow."

    Su Mu's eyes lit up. This seemed to be a good idea. When he went back a few times ago, he found out that Liu Xiaoran's house is a small house that can only be owned by a well-off family. Although it is not as good as his own Marquis Mansion, it has a familyThere is still more than enough for a wife, and it is close to the place of work. It is really an excellent location, and it costs a lot of money to see it.

    Under the economic strength of Marquis Mansion, he still has not forgotten the fact that he is a working people. He always has a small abacus to convert the price, and sighs that there are so many rich people in Capital City.

    "That's good, I'll find someone to pass the news back to the house, so that my mother doesn't have to wait for me to go back, and go to bed earlier." Just as Su Mu stood up, Liu Xiaoran coughed to cover up, and added a sentence.

    "In this way, we can read all the account books tonight."

    Su Mu quickly realized the fact that he didn't seem to be taking advantage of it.

    When the two finally left Dali Temple, the sky full of stars indicated that tomorrow would finally be a sunny day. The continuous snowfall caused great inconvenience to the common people, although for the southerner Su Mu, snow days were rare.Exciting as well, but it has to be admitted that in this day and age, for most people, snow means nothing but cold and hunger.

    He thought of the letters that the original owner had pressed on the desk. Su Yi died in battle in the snowy northern border. Although Su Mu still couldn't find out the truth about his death in battle, since he realized it,It wasn't an accident that a heavy pressure haunted him all the time.

    At least for this little Marquis who has not had time to grow up properly, find out the truth about his father's death.

    Su Mu leaned against the door, looked at the starry sky and the unmelted snow, and breathed into the palm of his hand.

    "Just standing at the door like this?" Liu Xiaoran's voice came from behind.

    Su Mu turned around and caught the fire bag thrown by the other party: "Light a fire."

    Just like last time.

    Thinking of the burns on his jaw and the useless bottle of plaster, Su Mu laughed again, moved behind the stove, and started chatting about the accident.

    "That day, Yanxuan, you pulled me out of the fire, and I doubted that you were going to reach out and beat me up in the next second." Su Mu skillfully picked a bunch of small wood chips together, and then gently used the fire folderAt one point, a bunch of small flames were ignited, and I was much more proficient than before, "But then you saw the wound on my hand, and it seemed that your heart softened again, didn't you?"

    He threw a small flame into the stove, and the dry pine branches made a burning sound, and then the warmth spread over.

    "But in fact, the wound was not caused by the fire. It was because I was too impatient in my life the day before and accidentally rubbed it on my hand. I didn't pay much attention to such a small wound, but you sent it on purpose.Give me the plaster, which makes me very embarrassed." Su Mu picked up the fan and fanned it slightly, the dancing fire was reflected in his eyes, and his whole face was flushed by the heat, "But I was caught by the fire.It's a bit embarrassing to be scalded, I haven't told you all this time, but I just remembered it today, so I'm here to clarify."

    Liu Xiaoran's gaze finally shifted from the chopping board to Su Mu's face, and after a long time, she smiled lightly: "What about now, will the fire be lit?"

    "That's needless to say! I have practiced it a long time ago." Su Mu skillfully added some firewood to it. This is the experience he accumulated after observing the life of the kitchen master many times while running outside.The only thing I want is to make myself look like I have some life skills, so that I won't be disabled at the tenth level, and I won't make some weird misunderstandings.

    Liu Xiaoran lowered her eyes and continued to cut the vegetables in her hands. This was specially delivered by Bai Zhi the day before. Fortunately, the winter ingredients are easy to preserve, so they came in handy today.

    Before Su Mu could eat the hot noodles, there was a sudden knock on the door.

    The sound of duk duk was particularly prominent in the silence, making both of them stunned.

    In the middle of the night, there is already a curfew, so can anyone come to the door?
