    Jinbao helped Jun Huailang into the car.

    On weekdays, Fuyi would follow him to the car to serve him, but today there was King Guangling in the car, so he lost his mind for a while.

    He looked at Jinbao, saw Jinbao pulling him, and sat outside the car with him.

    "Let's come here to hide for leisure." Jin Bao said with a smile.

    Fu Yi hesitated: "This...?"

    Jinbao winked at him and gestured towards the car.

    Fuyi probably understood, maybe the master in the car didn't like people getting up close, and he didn't like people following up to serve.

    He glanced at Jin Bao gratefully, nodded at him, and sat next to him in front of the car.

    What he didn't know was that as soon as his master got into the carriage, he was pulled into his arms by the master in the car who "doesn't like getting close to people".

    Jun Huailang stumbled forward, but instead of falling in pain, he fell directly into Xue Yan's arms.

    In an instant, he was enveloped in the scent of sandalwood.

    Xue Yan wrapped his arms around his waist and asked him in a low voice that only two people could hear: "Did you miss me?"

    Jun Huailang staggered his eyes and pushed him quickly: "Okay, don't make trouble."

    However, Xue Yan still stood next to him and said, "I miss you so much, I can't wait to stand directly at the door of your room to block you."

    When he spoke, his breath was very close to Jun Huailang.

    He got closer and closer and said, "I still want to jump in through the window to see if you are asleep, and secretly kiss you."

    Jun Huailang's ears were burning to death.

    How could this person say such words casually?

    He pushed Xue Yan several times in succession, and then barely pushed away, in exchange for Xue Yan's low laughter.

    "Why is it so attractive," he said.

    Jun Huailang didn't know, he didn't say a word, how could he be liked by people.

    He pushed Xue Yan away, sat down beside him, and saw Xue Yan come up again.

    It's like being away from yourself for a moment will kill him.

    Jun Huailang was about to push him away when he saw Xue Yan stuffed a booklet into his hand.

    "Well, I asked Duan Shishi to check it out yesterday," he said. "You don't need to examine them one by one today, it's enough to check according to this."

    Jun Huailang took the booklet and opened it, and saw that it was full of information about all the migrant workers who made trouble that day.

    Those drawn with red circles are not aborigines in Jiangnan. In total, they all moved in for various reasons one after another three years ago.

    They are all from Lingnan.

    However, because they had prepared false identities for themselves before coming to Jiangnan, they could not tell they were bandits.

    Jun Huailang pondered for a moment.

    Although it can't be seen from their documents, the mountain bandits in Lingnan have only surrendered to the King of Yunnan for less than ten years. Back then, all of them were bandits and dominated one side. They will definitely leave some traces on their bodies, proving that they are fake with them. The identities do not match.

    In this way, the identity of the good people is fake, and they come from the same place, and this time they are making trouble together in Jiangnan.

    With this evidence, it is not difficult to find out their identities from their mouths. As long as you have these confessions, you can send them to Chang'an together.

    Jun Huailang put away the booklet.

    "Didn't you also get the news yesterday?" Jun Huailang asked suspiciously. "How did you get these?"

    Not to mention that Xue Yan only got the news yesterday. He was exhausted yesterday, but he slept until dawn today.

    Xue Yan didn't care: "Duan Shishi is more than enough for one night."

    Jun Huailang had an impression of the young man beside Xue Yan.

    It looks like a child, younger than Jun Xiaowu, and not even a few years older than Ling Huan.

    But such a small boy followed Xue Yan's side, not only to rule the entire Jinyiwei for him, but also to do things for him.

    "Is he not too old?" Jun Huailang couldn't help asking.

    Xue Yan hummed indifferently: "I didn't ask, but it should be quite small."

    Jun Huailang sighed.

    Xue Yan came over and pecked his cheek.

    "Why, are you feeling bad for others again?" he asked.

    Jun Huailang said, "He looks smaller than Xiaowu."

    Xue Yan snorted.

    "I like to worry about people so much," he said. "You don't worry about me?"

    Jun Huailang looked at him: "What do you have to worry about?"

    Xue Yan was serious: "You were kicked out of bed last night, aren't you pitiful?"

    Jun Huailang hurriedly went to cover his mouth, for fear that what he said would be heard by people outside.

    "If you talk nonsense again, I'll drive you out of the carriage." Jun Huailang threatened him.

    Xue Yan smiled.

    "Okay, let's not talk about it." After speaking, he took Jun Huailang into his arms again.

    "I made an agreement with Duan Shishi, and let him do things for nothing," he said. "He's been doing these things that kill people since he was in elementary school. I asked him to do something else, but he wouldn't."

    "What other deal do you two have?" Jun Huailang was puzzled.

    Xue Yan said: "He does things for me, and I will avenge him. After all, it is impossible for him to kill Duan Chong by himself."

    Jun Huailang was taken aback: "Isn't Duan Chong his adoptive father?"

    Xue Yan said lightly, "It's still his enemy who killed his father and killed his mother."

    Having said this, he paused and said, "This means that he is the only one left in his family."

    As he said that, he put his head into Jun Huailang's neck, like a coquettish big dog.

    "Since you feel sorry for him, I'll do it well and give him another favor," he said.

    Jun Huailang asked, "What kind of grace?"

    Xue Yan smiled and nibbled on Jun Huailang's neck.

    "I wanted him to replace Duan Chong and become the head of Dongchang Factory. It is said that when he got to that position, he wanted to cleanse himself." He said. "I won't mention it, Quan should forget it and leave him a root, how about it?"

    Jun Huailang's ears reddened, "Why are you thinking about all these illegitimate things?"

    Xue Yan said confidently: "You are next to me, how can I think of serious business?"

    ——

    Jun Huailang's interrogation was indeed very smooth.

    Among those bandits, some were serious, but there were still a few who confessed their origins, origins, and what orders they received under coercion and inducement.

    Sure enough, the king of Yunnan sent them here. The King of Yunnan was only responsible for making contributions, and when they got here, the orders they received were all given by the officials of Chang'an.

    As for the official, they don't know.

    However, they don't need to know either.

    Because as long as Xue Yan investigates deeply, which high-ranking official in Chang'an has been trying to accumulate money in recent years, but the money that he has collected has no whereabouts, as long as he investigates, he will know all about it.

    And the point of this in-depth investigation is Guo Rongwen.

    On this day, when Jun Huailang left the yamen with the confession he obtained, Jin Yiwei, who counted the Jinling government treasury, also replied.

    They thoroughly checked the accounts for more than a month and found that a small part of the running water has always been inconsistent. But when Jinling was hit by the disaster and the warehouse was opened to release grain, a large amount of grain was missing, and it could not be accounted for at all.

    Jun Huailang knew that this was because Guo Rongwen was in a hurry at the time, and it was too late to smooth out the false accounts.

    Knowing this news, Duke Yongning and Shen Zhifu immediately called Guo Rongwen to the yamen and asked him about the accounts.

    Guo Rongwen knew that even if there were discrepancies in the accounts, they had no solid evidence to prove that they did it themselves. After all, there are so many people who have handled the food delivery. As long as he denies it, even if they identify it as himself, there is nothing he can do.

    As a result, Guo Rongwen said repeatedly that he didn't know, and he burst into tears, which seemed very real.

    Duke Yongning did not believe it.

    He has known Guo Rongwen for nearly 20 years, and he knows how meticulous and careful this person is in his work.

    He was a repayer of gratitude back then. Before the imperial examination, because his family was poor and he lost his luggage, he stayed in his house for a few months. After the imperial examinations, although he was only a county magistrate the size of a sesame seed, he was able to save up a whole year's worth of money.

    Therefore, he would feel at ease to hand over such an important matter as an account to him.

    He said that he was careless and unclear, and Duke Yongning did not believe it.

    He only knew that after so many years, people would change.

    However, when the truth was revealed, he also learned that there was no evidence at all in his hands. He confronted Guo Rongwen with reason and reason, but Guo Rongwen kept shouting grievances and grievances, clearly playing tricks with him.

    Duke Yongning was so angry that he was almost speechless.

    Seeing this, Shen Zhifu, who was standing beside him, hurried forward to comfort him.

    "Put him into the prison first!" Shen Zhifu said to the little officials on the left and right. "Whether you were greedy for ink, or you didn't know people well, the food was lost in your hands. You are to blame, and you are not wronged!"

    Guo Rongwen burst into tears.

    "Sir Shen, in any case, I am also an official of the imperial court. You have no credentials. The only one who can put me in prison is the emperor!" he said.

    Shen Zhifu gritted his teeth.

    He knew that this person was using the emperor to oppress him.

    Indeed, no matter how low Guo Rongwen is, he is still a Beijing official. If he hastily imprisoned him, and he will settle the account in the future, he will definitely not be able to escape the relationship.

    What's more, he knew at a glance that Guo Rongwen, by himself, certainly did not have such courage and appetite. There must be an unknown force in Beijing standing behind him. If that force can plead guilty to Guo Rongwen, then it will be himself who will be guillotined.

    Shen Zhifu gritted his teeth, and the yamen on the left and right also hesitated.

    "Evidence?" At this moment, a lazy voice came from the door.

    A few people looked and saw Xue Yan standing there.

    He walked in slowly, followed by Jin Bao and a few Jin Yiwei. Xue Yan walked up to Duke Yongning, bowed his hands and bowed to him, then glanced sideways at Jinbao.

    Jinbao hurriedly held the letter in his hand and went up to present it to Duke Yongning.

    Shen Zhifu came up to take a look and found that it was actually a contract to buy and sell food.

    The time, quantity, and how much it sold were clearly written on the top, with Guo Rongwen's signature and stamp, and the amount of grain was exactly the same as the amount lost in the treasury.

    Shen Zhifu looked at Xue Yan in surprise.

    Why is this King of Guangling so pierced with hands and eyes? just found out that there is something wrong with the treasury at noon today. By this time, have found all the evidence?

    Xue Yan looked at Jin Yiwei next to him, Jin Yiwei hurriedly stepped forward and held Guo Rongwen up.

    Guo Rongwen is still struggling.

    "My lord, even if you are the King of Guangling, you can't slander your vassals out of thin air!" He still struggled to cry, not knowing what Xue Yan had in his hands.

    Xue Yan nodded impatiently.

    He just got the news on the way here, saying that people outside the city will hold a night market on the roadside tonight to celebrate the end of the epidemic. He knew that Jun Huailang would definitely like to watch this kind of thing, so he had asked Duan Shishi to go back to the house to pick him up.

    He didn't want to waste time on this rubbish and let Jun Huailang wait.

    He frowned, stepped forward, and kicked Guo Rongwen to the ground.

    "If I want to arrest people, I never teach the principles of the king's law." He glanced at him condescendingly.

    "Take it away," he ordered.
