"Of course it's true!"
There was a hint of displeasure in the young woman's feminine voice.
She hesitated for a moment and then added.
"I watched my father lose weight with my own eyes. I locked myself in the study for several months without leaving the door."
"It didn't take long before my father..."
Speaking of this, the young woman's voice was already choked with sobs.
Yang Dong stood outside the door, but there was a thump in his heart.
Sure enough, it sure is so!
Assuming that the young woman did not lie, there is only one possibility, that is, someone has replaced his father and continues to serve as an official in the court.
This matter was of great importance, and Yang Dong couldn't say it directly, so he pondered for a moment and said:
"Ms. Xu, to be honest, I have read through many files these days, but I did not find any record of the original tax and bank case."
"And... your father retired from old age and returned to his hometown seven years ago, back to Jiangnan."
"boom"! ! !
The dilapidated door was pulled open by a huge force, and the entire wooden door trembled slightly, making a squeaking sound.
"This is impossible!"
The young woman stared at Yang Dong and said seriously:
"My father was implicated in the tax bank case. Do you think I would lie to you about such a thing?"
Yang Dong immediately spread his hands and whispered:
"Of course I don't think Madam Xu is lying to me. And there is nothing to lie about."
Having said this, he glanced around. whispered:
"There are many people outside and it's inconvenient to talk. Madam Xu, can you please let me talk to you?"
"this……"
Madam Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently and said:
"Okay, then come in."
Yang Dong nodded slightly and followed closely behind the young woman.
Just a few steps into the yard, he felt a small thing hugging his thigh.
When he lowered his head, he saw that it was Su Su, the little girl who blackmailed him last time.
Su Su seemed extremely excited after seeing Yang Dong.
She shook her little hand and said excitedly:
"Handsome uncle, you finally came to see Susu!"
"Su Su still wants to eat big chicken drumsticks today. Can uncle Shuai take Su Su to eat?"
"Susu!"
The young woman glared at Su Su fiercely and gave Yang Dong an apologetic smile.
"Master, I'm sorry, the child is still young and immature, so you don't have to pay attention to what she says."
Unexpectedly, Yang Dong shook his head, picked up Su Su with one hand, and put it on his shoulders.
"No problem, as long as Susu is willing, uncle will take you to eat big chicken drumsticks every day, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
The little girl waved her little hands and gave her mother a smile full of victory.
"My handsome uncle is so kind, even better than my mother is to Su Su!"
"I want to eat big chicken legs, I have to eat big chicken legs every day, hehehe~"
"You girl, how can you talk!"
The young woman had a rosy look on her face and subconsciously raised her pink fist. But after all, there were outsiders present, so he hesitated and then retracted his fist.
Yang Dong also understood that he came to see the young woman today because he had important things to discuss.
So after teasing Susu for a while, he put her down and said:
"Okay Susu, you go and play for a while. Uncle and your mother have important matters to discuss."
"At noon, uncle will take you to eat big chicken drumsticks, okay?"
"Okay~"
Su Su nodded obediently, then picked up the doll and walked aside.
The young woman breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on her cheeks became serious again.
"Mr. Yang, what on earth is going on?"
Yang Dong spread his hands helplessly, his cheeks also filled with confusion.
"I think you should have heard of our West Factory's style of handling cases. We obey His Majesty directly and will secretly search for evidence and deal with corrupt officials. This is why, last time in the government office, I asked you about your father-related matters. .”
The young woman heard this and nodded slightly.
She agreed with Yang Dong's explanation. After all, this is the responsibility of the West Factory.
But she didn't expect that the other party would come to her door again and say something extremely unbelievable.
"May I ask Mr. Yang, are what you just said true?"
"Of course it's true!"
Yang Dong said, took out a file from his arms and handed it to the young woman.
"This is the internal record of the West Factory, about all the officials in the Household Department. You can see it yourself."
The young woman picked up the file and read it carefully.
She had no doubts about the authenticity of this dossier. On the one hand, this is because this dossier looks to be quite old. If it were falsified immediately, it would not have the same effect.
In addition, as a woman, I couldn't afford to offend a Western factory spy who went to such great lengths to deceive me.
What can he want?
It can't be like this, right?
To be honest, the other party is a secret agent of the West Factory. If he really likes him, there is no need to go to such trouble. She won't even have a chance to resist, and will become the plaything on the other person's bed.
Therefore, there is no need for the other party to deceive themselves.
The young woman's mind was very clear, so she had no doubts about Yang Dong's motives.
She murmured to herself while flipping through the files:
"This is Uncle Zhang, this is Uncle Ma... They were both my father's best friends, but after the tax case, they showed no mercy and cut off all ties with our family."
Speaking of this, a flash of hatred flashed in the young woman's eyes.
But it didn't take long for the hatred in her eyes to be replaced by deep shock.
Because she saw the record about her father in the file with her own eyes.
"Three years of Tianli..."
But my father clearly passed away in the autumn of the second year of Tianli!
At this moment, the young woman was no longer calm. She quickly flipped through the files in her hand as if she had fallen into madness.
However, the further she looked back, the more horrified the expression on her cheeks became.
After spending a while burning incense, she turned to the last page.
What is recorded above is that her father retired from old age and returned to his hometown seven years ago...
But...how is this possible! ?
Just when she was shocked, Yang Dong's voice sounded in her ears again.
"To be honest, when I first saw this file, I was as surprised as you are now. I even doubted whether there was an error in the records in the Xichang file. So I sent someone to the Ministry of Personnel to report The files over there have also been retrieved."
"It's just that the file belongs to the Ministry of Personnel after all. I can't show it to you."
Speaking of this, a serious look appeared on Yang Dong's cheek.
"But I can tell you with certainty that in the records of the Ministry of Personnel, your father has always existed."
"And the tax bank case doesn't exist at all!"
