Feng Nan tiptoed into the secret room.
This secret room is relatively deep, about two to three feet deep. A group of soldiers who are still going down first have already lit torches on the surrounding walls. Feng Nan can see where to step.
After a while of groping, Feng Nan finally entered the secret room below. This secret room was very large, about a dozen square meters. With the help of the firelight, it could be seen that it was a hollowed-out cave.
The cave is not humid, but very dry. Around the cave, there are a large number of wooden shelves, and there are thick texts on the wooden shelves.
At this time, Xie Cang was constantly flipping through the books on the wooden shelf. Feng Nan quickly stepped forward and asked quickly.
"Xiehou, what are these? Have you found anything?"
Xie Cang looked indifferent and said calmly, "Nothing, just some account details."
Feng Nan nodded slightly and said softly, "I thought there would be something good in such a secret room, but it's such a pity."
"Yes, after all, in addition to some accounts, there are also other unexpected gains, such as some house deeds, land deeds, and some correspondence."
Speaking of this, Xie Cang looked at Feng Nan, and the feeling gave Feng Nan a creepy feeling.
He said, "Xie Hou, do you think so of ***? You don't doubt me, do you?"
"If it is really related to me, I will cooperate with the investigation without any hesitation." Feng Nan's attitude was firm and he seemed to be cooperating.
With Feng Nan's attitude, Xie Cang didn't say anything and stared at him intently. The two of them stared at each other like this for a long time.
When the atmosphere seemed a little solid, Xie Cang laughed, patted Feng Nan on the shoulder and said.
"Haha, Master Feng is overly worried. If this matter is related to Master Feng, I will not let you accompany me in the search."
"Okay, there's nothing to find here, so let's leave early."
Feng Nan didn't care about Xie Cang's initiative to soften his attitude. He nodded slightly, and then the two of them left the secret room one after another.
After discovering the secret room, after about half an hour of sorting out, all the texts and accounts in the secret room were sorted out, and there were three large boxes.
Under Xie Cang's instructions, the three boxes were taken away by the soldiers first. Feng Nan watched the scene without saying a word.
According to the rules, everything found in this search will be taken away by Xie Cang and handed over to the personnel of the Supervisory Office for review.
Therefore, even if Feng Nan had any opinions, he did not dare to say anything.
After three hours of searching, the search of Yu Biao's mansion was basically at an end. Xie Cang and Feng Nan left the mansion one after another.
After expressing his gratitude to Feng Nan, Xie Cang got on his horse and left directly with his men.
Feng Nan watched Xie Cang's departure with his hands folded, a strange color flashing in the depths of his eyes.
This inspection caused quite a stir in the city. Within half a day, it spread like the wind.
They don't care what the consequences of the Yu Biao family's destruction will be. After all, if Yu Biao does such a major thing as genocide, just think about it and know what their fate will be.
….
The people in the city were most concerned about what they had found in the secret room of Yu Biao's mansion.
Will it cause any big sensation in the city again? This is what many people are curious about.
But the result disappointed them. Since the three boxes of ledger items searched in the secret room entered the Supervisory Office, they seemed to have disappeared.
Two or three days later, the results of the treatment of the Yu Biao family came out. Not all of them were exiled, but those with past criminal records would be exiled depending on the seriousness of the case.
As for the general situation, it should be dealt with as it should be dealt with according to the law.
Those who did not commit a crime were acquitted.
This result somewhat surprised the people in the city. They did not expect that the inspector did not take the opportunity to retaliate, but dealt with it in accordance with the laws of Daliang.
If nothing else, just this, they somewhat admire this person.
But one code after another, after dealing with the Yubiao people, those account books, and the so-called letters of communication, it was as if this never happened.
This somewhat surprised everyone, but after thinking about it, they could probably think of something.
It is very likely that the person behind this is very powerful, and even the inspector sent by the imperial court would not dare to act rashly.
As time passed, gradually, there were some inexplicable rumors in the city.
The person who talked about the letters exchanged behind Yu Biao's back was probably a senior official in Dongzhou. Considering that Yu Biao had previously commanded the entire state's military, he needed to work with someone.
It's easy to figure out who the person behind it is.
At this time, Su Qi'an was sitting in the central hall of the Supervisory Office. Next to him, there was a stack of project texts.
Master Liu and Fang Jingzhi kept sorting things out. Around them, Su Yong and Tong Zhan stood silently with the elite members of their direct team.
As for the more peripheral areas, from time to time, personnel from the direct team can be seen patrolling each other along their respective areas.
With Su Qian's arrival, his men quickly took over the supervisory office.
No matter whether it is internal or external, no one will be missed, all will be taken over by the direct team, and there will be no trouble at all.
As for whether this supervisory office provided by Zhou Zibin might hide secrets that they don't know about, there's basically no need to worry about it.
First of all, Su Qi'an dared to come to Dongzhou City, and in front of everyone, which in itself was a guarantee.
No one in their right mind would cause trouble in this mansion. Once something happens to Su Qi'an, Zhou Zibin will be the first to escape.
Of course, we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. When Su Qi'an settled in, the "An" team led by Wang Yan comprehensively inspected all parts of the Supervisory Office.
It is not impossible to avoid mechanisms that even the "An" team cannot detect, but it is absolutely impossible for a Dongzhou to have such a master.
Even if they are true machine masters, Team "An" can still find some clues.
Therefore, after a period of exploration, the answer was that it was safe, and Su Qi'an could bring people in normally.
Su Qi'an was sitting in the middle hall, sipping tea in his hand and calmly flipping through the accounts in front of him. The surroundings seemed quite quiet.
….
But the silence didn't last long, and was immediately broken as Xie Cang rushed over.
Xie Cang walked quickly, taking three steps at a time. You could see from his face that he was not at peace in his heart.
Before anyone could reach Su Qi'an, Xie Cang's voice sounded.
"Brother Su, these Dongzhou high-level officials are really not good birds. If you listen to the rumors outside, I almost didn't name him. It is said that the person Yu Biao colludes with is Wu Dingguo."
"Bah, if this man was really Wu Dingguo, Dongzhou would have fallen long ago. How could it have survived for so long? Are these people all pig-minded?"
"Brother Su, please speak. As long as you give the order, I will lead people to catch these villains who are instigating evil behind the scenes, and I will definitely deal with them severely."
No wonder Xie Cang was so excited. He was not speaking for Wu Dingguo. After all, only he and Feng Nan knew what was searched in the secret room.
No one else knows. Not long after they were dealing with the Yubiao people, such rumors spread.
Even the conversation between him and Feng Nan that day was spread. How could these common people know this? Needless to say, it was probably Feng Nan who sent someone to order it.
If he had known that Feng Nan was this kind of thing, Xie Cang would not have tolerated anything at that time and would have definitely arrested him.
In the end, it was Su Qi'an who was ultimately harmed by this kind of rumor. Fan Chong's matter hadn't even begun yet, but Wu Dingguo was revealed at this time. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his brains were normal and everyone knew who the person hinting at was.
This is not to put Su Qi'an on the fire. It is impossible for Su Qi'an not to respond. If he does respond, the relationship with Wu Dingguo will inevitably get worse.
There is already a gap between the two parties before they meet. If they actually meet, it will be fine.
If it weren't for my own negligence, how could this happen?
Xie Cang wanted to tear Feng Nan into pieces at this moment.
Looking at the angry Xie Cang, Su Qi'an seemed very calm, beckoned to sit down, comforted him, and said softly.
"What did I think it was? Brother Xie doesn't need to be so angry. It's just a rumor. Let them go. If they really gave the order, Brother Xie fell into their trap."
Xie Cang was startled, his face full of confusion.
Master Liu on the side glanced at Su Qi'an, and then explained, "If Xie Hou really leads someone out, even if he arrests someone, in a way, this rumor will be confirmed to be true."
"Furthermore, if Feng Nan dares to send people to spread the news, it means that he is prepared for his men to be caught. Please think about it. Once these people are caught, they will definitely be killed by him. He will never refute it." On Feng Nan’s head.”
"How will Xiehou deal with these people then? According to the law, the most severe punishment for those who spread rumors like this is just a hundred sticks, or imprisonment for one month. When the time is up, Xiehou will have to release them. It’s impossible for Mr. Xie to kill them all.”
"And this kind of rumor will not dissipate when these people are arrested. It is estimated that it will intensify by then, and this is what they want."
Master Liu's advice made Xie Cang sober up to a certain extent. Indeed, compared with this official veteran, Xie Cang did seem a bit immature when it came to discussing conspiracies and intrigues.
Although he knew the pros and cons, Xie Cang still couldn't swallow this breath.
"Brother Su, are we just going to watch these rumors spread and remain indifferent?"
Su Qian looked up and chuckled, "Why not?"
"Rumors are just rumors after all, and they are smart enough not to directly name the Governor of Dongzhou. Even if they are investigated, they can argue and the punishment will not be too severe, but this is also a fatal point."
"If we ignore them, rumors like this will only dissipate slowly as time goes by. We dare not name them and cannot expand them further. What is the point of such rumors?"
"And counting the time, the richest man in Dongzhou should be back soon. We can use this person as a breakthrough to break through Dongzhou's predicament."
