In order to handle the affairs in Wuzhou, Fu Yanqing had not had a good rest for several days, and it was already evening when he returned home.
He went straight to the study and ordered dinner to be delivered to the study.
Sitting on the Grand Master's chair, looking at the list of things he had found in the past few days, Fu Yanqing raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows irritably.
This time he went to Wuzhou secretly, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Wuzhou, Liu Zining had already killed all his relatives in the courtyard.
If he hadn't hit his hand with his sword, the purpose of this trip to Wuzhou would have been in vain.
The total amount of money found from the residence of Liu Zining, the prefect of Wuzhou, was only half of the information recorded by him.
The other half, Liu Zining, refused to reveal where the rest of the money went.
They had no choice but to bring the person back and take him to Dongchang Prison.
He was tortured to get an answer from him, but Liu Zining always refused to reveal it.
Some letters were found from his home, but the signature on the letters was the Minister of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment is only loyal to the emperor. He has never been involved in corruption and bribery. He is an extremely upright person.
At that time, Liu Zining wanted to enter the Ministry of Justice, but he refused several bribes.
In addition, Liu Zining knew clearly that the Dongchuang incident had occurred, but did not destroy the letters first. Instead, he killed his wife and children.
It was as if those letters had been left there specifically, waiting for them to search.
Fu Yanqing leaned back slightly, tapping the table unconsciously with his fingers.
It seems that the Minister of Punishment has been plotted against someone, and the person behind Liu Zining is definitely not him.
As for who it was, he really didn't have a clue for a while.
After Fu Yanqing finished his meal, he saw Du Yi walking in with a bright smile on his face.
"Master, Miss Lin is here and she said she has something to discuss with you."
"Invite her in." Fu Yanqing put the things on the table into the mezzanine under the table.
"I have seen you for nine thousand years." Lin Fushuang saluted politely.
This time she wanted Fu Yanqing to help ask the imperial doctor to detoxify her, and accordingly, she would also tell him a secret about Lin Cong.
"Is something wrong?" Fu Yanqing raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile.
"My daughter came here to make a deal with the Governor-General." Lin Fushuang said with a hint of discussion in her tone.
"Deal?" Fu Yanqing stared at Lin Fushuang standing in front of the table, rubbing the beads in his hand with his thumb, and a hint of interest rose in his eyes.
It had to be said that the woman in front of him was very courageous. She had dared to say the shocking words that she wanted to serve him, and also revealed the whereabouts of the person he was looking for.
Now I still want to make a deal with him.
He hadn't seen this neither humble nor arrogant look for a long time.
"I can tell you a secret about Lin Cong, in exchange for you helping me hire an imperial physician."
"Why should I promise you?" Fu Yanqing stood up and looked at Lin Fushuang condescendingly, the smile on his face gradually weakened.
"You should have investigated Prince Jin's matter clearly. What I said is definitely not a lie."
Faced with his rhetorical question, Lin Fushuang didn't panic at all.
"Of course, with the governor's ability, it will be a matter of time before he finds out. I just knew it for a while in advance."
Fu Yanqing's eyes paused for a moment, and he remained silent without speaking. A trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
"Don't you want to hear what my secret is, Lord Governor?"
Seeing that Fu Yanqing didn't speak, she knew that he didn't reject it in her heart, so Lin Fushuang boldly continued to speak.
"Lin Cong has a private house on Ximen Street, which he bought in the name of his confidant. It contains all the money he gained from corruption and bribery over the years. Only his confidants know about this matter, not even the Liu family. "
"How did you know about this?" Fu Yanqing turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and raised his eyebrows, "As far as I know, your life in Ding'an Hou's house was not easy, and you never had any interactions with Lin Cong on weekdays. How can you know this if you are so close?”
"I have my own way." Lin Fushuang rolled her eyes and raised her eyebrows following his example.
Seeing her look, Fu Yanqing couldn't help but chuckle.
His voice was very soft, but his brows were relaxed, and his already handsome and charming face became even more beautiful.
Realizing that she was fascinated by Fu Yanqing's smile, Lin Fushuang's face instantly turned red and she quickly found a reason to leave.
"I'll find an imperial doctor for you, but you have to go back to the Lin family to do something for me." Fu Yanqing stopped laughing, wrote a few words on the paper, and handed it to Lin Fushuang.
Lin Fushuang frowned slightly: "What do you want me to do?" She didn't want to go back to Lin's Mansion.
In her current situation, going back would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
"Don't worry, I will seek justice for you after the matter is completed." There was a bit of temptation in his tone.
Lin Fushuang felt hesitant in her heart, but after thinking about it for a moment, she raised her eyes and agreed.
Seeing Lin Fushuang's figure disappearing outside the door, Du Yi jumped in from the window.
"Master, do you really want to give this task to Miss Lin?"
Fu Yanqing's lips curled up slightly: "Since she wants to kill that family, she can't just watch the show from behind."
Du Yi's eyes widened and he thought to himself: Master, do you really want to be so cruel? Can't you keep the Lin Mansion in good order before handing it over to Miss Lin? You will lose Miss Lin like this!
Perhaps Du Yi's gaze was too obvious, so Fu Yanqing raised his eyes: "Why, is there anything else?"
Du Yi's eyes were filled with sympathy for an instant, and he jumped out of the window with a deep sigh.
Lin Fushuang returned to the room and opened the note: "Find the secret letter hidden in Lin Cong's study."
Secret message?
She squinted her eyes. It seemed that Fu Yanqing was also investigating Lin Cong. Could it be that Lin Cong had any secrets that she didn't know about in her previous life?
Since she had decided to hug Fu Yanqing's thigh tightly and make some real contribution, let her do this for her.
Maybe we can use this matter to make a deal with him.
It's just that I left the house angrily at that time, how can I go back now?
Lin Fushuang felt like her head was getting bigger.
"Miss Lin, Mrs. Hou wants to see you at the door." A maid knocked on the door.
oh? She was worried about how to return to the Marquis Mansion, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Liu would come to her door without finding a place to go.
Lin Fushuang smiled, but doubts lingered in her heart.
Mrs. Liu has never taken her seriously, and is used to doing one thing in front of her and another behind her back. It's really strange today that she actually takes the initiative to see her.
At this time, Mrs. Liu was standing at the door of the governor's palace, followed by several palace servants, and surrounded by people watching the excitement.
"Shuang'er, you've figured it out. Go back with your mother quickly." When she saw Lin Fushuang, Mrs. Liu came up to her with a smile on her face.
Lin Fushuang didn't speak, but stood there and looked at her quietly.
"Shuang'er, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline my servant properly, which made you feel wronged. But I really didn't know about this matter. Don't get angry with me and come home with me. Bar."
Ms. Liu felt extremely depressed and her expression was extremely stiff, but she pretended to wipe away her tears.
Seeing that Lin Fushuang remained unmoved, the whispers of the onlookers around her gradually grew louder.
"I heard that the eldest lady of Ding'an Marquis Mansion is nine thousand years old, and she lived in the Governor's Mansion for free. How can she return to the mansion with Madam Hou now!"
"I heard that the eldest lady beat her own maid to death before hiding in the governor's mansion. A few days ago, didn't the young master from the Lin mansion come to visit with people from Dali Temple?"
"Beat her alive? This little girl is really cruel and ruthless, and the Governor is also really cruel. He is not afraid of bringing such a person into the house..."
"That's right."
"..."
