"Anko, he asked you to boil a pot of hot water!" Seeing that Anko didn't respond, Chengchun added, "By the way, remember to take out the new tea from our bags, the tea here is not very good!"
Hongdou finally came to his senses and walked out carrying the kettle.
When they walked outside, Hongdou was still a little puzzled. The two people who were clearly arguing at the front were sitting together to drink tea. She really couldn't understand what was going on with these two people.
Su Xubai looked at Cheng Chun for a long time, and saw that her eyes were full of curiosity, so he didn't intend to hide it from her: "I went to search all the two people's houses, and I didn't find the account books you mentioned.
However, I found a piece of waste paper that was balled up in the waste paper bin in Mr. Li's study. An account was recorded in it. Unfortunately, the ink was smudged and could not be seen clearly. However, from the top of that piece of waste paper,
I probably deduce that there is indeed such an account book."
Cheng Chun listened and raised his eyebrows slightly: "As long as we find the accounts, we can find the disaster relief funds, and then we can convict them?"
"We can convict them of their crimes now, without even needing evidence. When leaving the capital, His Majesty gave Meng Shaoqing a Shangfang sword. That sword gave Meng Shaoqing the ability to rival the imperial power. He didn't even need to report to the death of a traitor.
The imperial court!" Su Xubai said lightly.
Chengchun was silent for a while, then looked at Su Xubai: "So, what we have to do now is to find the missing disaster relief money and the account book that records their crimes!"
"Almost, only by finding disaster relief funds can we have enough funds to repair the destroyed dams and resume farming, and then we can completely control the disaster. We can't just distribute food. This way we will never be able to calm down the disaster here.
Come down." Su Xubai looked at Cheng Chun and said softly, "But the door you mentioned is indeed strange."
"I'm very curious about who owns the mansion next door? If the two houses were connected at the beginning, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, when they were separated, they didn't block the door completely for the sake of convenience.
Seal it, but if this door opens from the back, then the things in the house can be transported to the next door and hidden." Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai and said word by word.
Su Xubai listened but said nothing.
"And this thing itself is very strange. The young lady said that they had always met in that courtyard from the very beginning. That means that the young lady had always come from the next courtyard. Later, she also got pregnant in another courtyard.
A place to raise a baby, which means that she is a gift given to Mr. Li by others." Cheng Chun slowly analyzed according to his own thoughts, "A gift that is already crazy does not need to be placed so close to Mr. Li.
A place of!”
"Unless Mr. Li deliberately turned that yard into a crazy woman's yard, after all, no one in this world would provoke a crazy woman for no reason, and most people would avoid such a person.
, to prevent yourself from suffering unnecessary disasters." Su Xubai continued Cheng Chun's words, "It seems that the yard next door is indeed not that simple."
When Hongdou walked in again with a pot of boiling hot tea, she saw two people chatting very animatedly, not looking like they had just quarreled.
Hongdou poured a cup of tea for both of them, and then said: "The drama in the front yard has ended. It is said that both adults drank too much. Little General Meng is not drunk after a thousand cups, and there is no way to look drunk!"
Cheng Chun paused, and then said: "The prince went back to his courtyard directly?"
"I went back, and I also had someone bring me some food. I said that my husband was not too busy tonight, and my wife was alone in the yard. I gave her some pastries that I like to eat, and came here to satisfy my craving," Hongdou said.
Then he pulled out a food box from behind.
Su Xubai looked at the food box and raised his eyebrows without any trace.
Cheng Chun felt that there was something wrong with the food box. When he opened it, he saw a note with written words: "A boat!"
"What does this mean?" Cheng Chun looked at the note and was as confused as a monk who was two feet tall.
Su Xubai took the note and glanced at it, then threw it into the incense burner: "Hu Sheng and Mr. Li are in the same group!"
Cheng Chun paused: "Did you just know that they are a group?"
"Of course I know they are a team, but on the matter of the disaster relief bank, the information given to us by the two people is different. But since Meng Shaoqing said this, it means that he has determined that the case of the disappearance of the disaster relief bank is related to
The two of them are inseparable from each other!" Su Xubai's eyes changed slightly as he watched the people in front of him flickering.
"Then what should we do next?" Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai and asked anxiously.
"We don't have much time left. If we can successfully find the disaster relief funds, then we can follow the clues and directly find the masters behind them." Su Xubai said lightly, "But if we can't find a solution within a certain time,
To find this thing, then we can only arrest the two of them and torture them. Of course, we can also find things this way, but it will also alert the snake, so it will be difficult for us to find the mastermind behind it and bring him down in one fell swoop.
fall!"
"How long can the entire Huizhou survive with our current food?" Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai and couldn't help but ask.
Su Xubai frowned, his face full of helplessness: "Three days at most, no more!"
In other words, they have to find the missing disaster relief funds within these three days, and then find evidence of their corruption, use this matter to lure out the big boss behind them, and then defeat them in one fell swoop.
It sounds simple, but it is just three things, but it is really difficult to do.
Chengchun listened and felt a little anxious.
"Actually, no matter what, the people must come first. It is very important to solve the case, and it is also important to catch the traitor. But the most important thing for us right now is the victims of the disaster. We must do our best to protect their lives and
Survival, only in this way can the entire Huizhou be stabilized!" Su Xubai said lightly.
Cheng Chun nodded. Although he did not understand their strategies, she was born in a poor family and naturally understood the sufferings of the common people best. If possible, she certainly hoped that all common people could survive this time safely and smoothly.
Natural and man-made disasters.
"You still have to find a way to find out, and try not to alert the snake!" Su Xubai said softly, frowning tightly.
