Zhou Wu's face froze at first, and then turned red.
He was originally dark, but now his face turned red and black, as if he was steaming. If there were sound effects, he might have to sizzle a few times to suit the occasion.
What a grown man, he felt aggrieved like a big girl who was forced by someone, hesitating and shyly said: "Husband, madam, this, this is not good!"
How could he, a grown man, hold that kind of thing in front of a whole room of people, and fool around in front of his brothers in the future? Who knows why they stayed in this weird study with his wife, if the uncle found out...
Empress Zhou Wu reacted belatedly and shuddered immediately: "Madam, why don't you go out and wait outside, and leave this place to your subordinates."
When the time comes for the brothers to resolve the matter among themselves, they will be much more comfortable than being watched by Madam and the others.
The other guards also realized that something was wrong, and they all trembled and shouted together: "Madam, please move!"
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
It was fine at first, but now I feel a little embarrassed by their formation.
Since they felt embarrassed, Ye Zhenzhen didn't want to embarrass them. Just when she was about to take Yuxiu and others away, she heard a familiar clicking sound and couldn't help but be stunned.
Not only her, but everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
Jade Pan was a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and he even stuttered when he spoke: "What, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong? I just turned the jade stone. Seeing that everyone was in trouble, I did it myself...
…”
Yuxiu is a woman who knows people's affairs. Seeing Yupan's careless and ignorant look, she felt shy and anxious, so she quickly pulled her over: "You, you stupid girl!"
The monk who was two feet long in the jade plate was confused and looked puzzled. Then she looked at the big guards. Their eyes were very strange, which made her always feel like she had done something wrong.
"lady……"
She could only look at her wife pitifully, fearing that she would be scolded for making her own decision.
Ye Zhenzhen sighed deeply, a little helpless and dumbfounded. There were so many maids around her, but the jade plate was like a lump of elm wood, and they didn't understand the slightest bit of human kindness.
But it's okay to be simple, as long as she's not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Ye Zhenzhen looked calm, as if she didn't realize that her maid had done something shocking. Her voice remained unchanged: "The mechanism has been opened. It seems to be a secret room. Go in and search."
Madam was so calm that she made them fuss.
Zhou Wu and others recovered from the shock, and tried their best not to look at the jade plate girl next to the madam, otherwise the scene just now would appear in their minds unconsciously, which was really a bit crazy...
The opened secret room was hidden behind the Bogu shelf. The guards filed in. Ye Zhenzhen stopped following in to join in the fun. Instead, she patted Yupan's head: "You...Oh, that's all, Qiu Wu, take this maid down.
Clean your hands, remember to wash them several times with soap."
Although that thing seems to be only used as a switch, but it looks so unseemly, who knows if it has been used for other purposes.
Although Qiu Wu is a yellow-flowered girl, she is much more mature than Yupan. She blushed and took Yupan's other hand: "Don't ask, go down and clean your hands first."
This silly girl didn't even know she was being taken advantage of.
The jade plate went down in confusion. Ye Zhenzhen retreated to the outside of the study to wait. She didn't even want to sit on the stone bench in the yard. Lin Mi and Hu were really not serious people, and everything they touched here made people feel...
Suffer.
Soon, Zhou Wu came out after searching the secret room, holding a wooden box in his hand.
"Madam, Lin Mi is full of tricks. There is indeed something else going on in the secret room. The ridiculous scenery outside is just a cover-up. There is indeed a serious study room inside. There is a box of letters on the desk and two account books inside."
Letters and ledgers?
Ye Zhenzhen perked up and quickly took out the account book and looked through it. As she flipped through it, her expression became relaxed: "It is the hidden account book. Even this box of letters is important physical evidence. Zhou Wu, please go first
Have people send these things outside, and continue to lead people to search the inner courtyard to see if they can find any other evidence."
Zhou Wu solemnly responded, and for the sake of safety, he personally escorted the box out, and then came back to lead the search.
Because important evidence was found in the study, the female relatives of the Lin family were frightened, especially Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Hu who had already woken up and almost fainted again.
This time they did not dare to make excuses to stop the search. Zhou Wu and others' work progressed smoothly, and they found 10,000 taels of silver secretly hidden by Lin Mi in the yard of another concubine.
The bottom of the silver is also stamped with the imperial seal, and its origin is self-evident.
With the irrefutable evidence and the facts before her eyes, Xu finally couldn't bear the stimulation and passed out again.
Ye Zhenzhen ignored the chaos in the Lin family's inner house and followed Zhou Wu and others to the court. When the bright, snowy silver was placed in the court, it immediately caused a sensation.
A total of ten thousand taels of silver!
How many people have never been able to touch a piece of silver in their lives, but now they have a big box full of money in front of them. Both the common people outside the court and the officials outside the court are dazzled and stunned.
The ground was staring very well.
Unlike others who were shocked, Cui Weizhen was more angry because these ten thousand taels of silver were exactly the disaster relief money he had allocated to Shi County!
Lin Mi, a bad official, dared to take everything!
At this time, the county lieutenant and others who went to search the Lin family's private residence also came back. When they came back, they caused a huge sensation. For no other reason than that, one by one of the escorts, they all carried a large box of shining silver!
All the 100,000 taels of silver that Lin Mi planned to use to buy an official position were found. After deducting the 100,000 taels of silver, there was still a lot left over. This shows that Lin Mi had plundered a lot of people's wealth and wealth during his more than ten years as the magistrate of Shi County.
The tree fell, and the courtroom fell into silence. The magistrate under the high-hanging plaque in the mirror looked solemn and asked coldly: "Lin Mi, there is a mountain of ironclad evidence. Can you plead guilty?"
Lin Mi fell to the ground dejectedly. He thought that he had done everything perfectly, even hiding the money in three cunning places, making it difficult for people to notice, but he forgot the word "grass snake gray line".
Whatever he does will leave traces, and even if all his agencies are exhausted, he will never be able to match the will of the people.
Lin Mi finally had the collapse and fear of the impending catastrophe, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, magistrate, I plead guilty! I plead guilty! I am willing to confess everything. Please give me mercy for the sake of my willingness to be honest."
