Ling Feng put away the account book and looked again. The child had run away. He didn't chase him. The kid was obviously just an errand boy.
Who is so familiar with Zhou Yulang's situation?
Ling Feng suddenly remembered Zhou Yulang's close aide Wu Tianliang. This person was later rescued by people from Netherworld Palace and should have joined the rebels. Unexpectedly, the rebels were defeated and this man was lucky enough to survive, but he still dared to cause trouble.
Although an account book alone cannot bring down a fourth-grade official, it is still a threat to Zhou Yulang. If used at the right time, it may not be possible to defeat Zhou Yulang in one fell swoop.
And now is the time. The imperial envoy Gao Hong was a member of the palace. If he presented this booklet to the emperor, the consequences would be unpredictable!
And the role of this account book is more than that. If Zhou Yulang knew that he had such an account book in his hand, wouldn't he have trouble sleeping and eating? In order to avoid being impeached and losing his official position, Zhou Yulang is likely to strike first. Even if he returns the account books to Zhou Yulang, he will doubt whether there is a transcript. He must stand opposite Zhou Yulang.
Therefore, this person's purpose is to force himself to present this account book to the imperial envoy Gao Hong.
However, Ling Feng had no such plan, because even if he stabbed the emperor, he might not be able to bring down Zhou Yulang.
Besides, if you defeat Zhou Yulang, you can get a master Qingtian?
What he needs now is to consolidate his cultivation and improve his strength so that he can complete the mission of killing Vajradhara.
At the same time, Song Tianhao from Liumen and Wu Yuanxin from Junwei Mansion both received the same account book.
Both of them were also embarrassed. They had been in the officialdom for a long time and saw things more clearly than Ling Feng. The chance of overthrowing the governor of a county with just one account book is really slim. And neither of them thought about overthrowing Zhou Yulang.
At this time, the rebellion in Qinghe County had just been put down, and it was time to recuperate. If the fuss continues, the one in the palace will be angry. There are ninety-nine counties in Dachu. If every county is so noisy, the emperor will never live in peace. Therefore, even if the account books were presented to the emperor, they would probably be suppressed.
Moreover, there are five dragon guards inside and six gates outside. Whether the people below are greedy or not, the emperor knows it well. But there are so many corrupt officials in the world, why can’t they all be abolished? Therefore, what he needs is not one or two honest officials, but a group of capable ministers who can help him govern the world. As for embezzling a little money, he doesn't mind it at all, as long as it doesn't go too far. I want the horse to run, but I also want the horse not to eat grass. How can such a good thing happen?
A moment later, outside a wing on the second floor of Qunfang Pavilion, two imperial guards were guarding the door.
Inside the house, a charming woman with light makeup and heavy makeup was lying on the bed, unconscious.
Suddenly a strong wind blew open the window, and a figure jumped in. He landed quietly, but it was Gao Hong wearing a bamboo hat.
After he announced the decree, the group of Fangge, Zhou Yulang, Song Tianhao, and Wu Yuanxin were drinking here. On the pretext of being drunk, they pulled a girl into the house as a cover. Then he quietly changed his outfit and went to Mingyue Tower to meet Ling Feng. Although it is easy for his enemies to catch him doing this, there is no need to worry if he is doing something for the emperor. Anyone who reports him will naturally be supported by the emperor.
After a while, Gao Hong changed his clothes and the group prepared to leave.
However, a group of people had just reached the door.
A little girl handed him a book and hurried away.
Gao Hong opened the account book and only read a few pages before his expression changed drastically and he said: "Go to the governor's mansion!"
At this time, in the county magistrate's office, Zhou Yulang was reading the documents in the back office.
At this time, the housekeeper came in and presented an account book.
Zhou Yulang only glanced at it for a few times before his expression changed dramatically. He knew it was Wu Tianliang who was responsible. He also knew this person's resourcefulness. It must not be that simple. This account book must have given away to many people. Therefore, he said coldly: "Give the account book to the second brother and let him clean up the details!"
His second brother Zhou Bin was also in the middle stage of Xiantian cultivation, and he helped with many things that were inconvenient for Zhou Yulang to do.
"Yes, I will go find the second master now!"
The butler took the account book and left quickly. The best way to clean things up is to silence them. Without proof, this account book is naturally useless. However, as soon as the account books appeared, these witnesses were all dead, and it seemed that they were self-inflicted. Therefore, we can only take the lives of their family members and make them refuse to admit it.
After a while, Gao Hong arrived at the governor's mansion.
Zhou Yulang welcomed him to the back office and said, "Your Excellency, you suddenly came to visit. I don't know why?"
Although he had expected it, he pretended not to know.
Gao Hong threw the account book on the table and said coldly: "How do you explain this?"
Zhou Yulang only glanced at it for a few times, then clasped his fists and said, "I have been wronged by this official, and I am willing to confront him face to face!"
Gao Hong glanced at Zhou Yulang with a surprised expression. He looked so calm. Could it be that he had a countermeasure in advance? As for being wronged? Haha, he didn't believe a word of it. Everyone knew how many upright officials there were in this court. However, he was not here to investigate Zhou Yulang, but the account book was in his hands. If the superiors found out without saying a word, it would be difficult to explain.
Therefore, he took advantage of the situation and said: "In that case, Mr. Zhou will send someone to invite those people. When we had a confrontation, I can explain it in front of the Holy Master!" Let Zhou Yulang's people invite them, and naturally they can handle it and seal those people away. A person's mouth is like selling him a favor.
"Thank you for your trust, sir!"
Ling Feng stood up and clasped his fists, then said: "Ask Mr. Wei to call some business owners."
Not long after, Capt. Wei hurried over, clasping his fists and saying, "Sir, it's too bad, the bosses of the trading companies were killed just as the humble ministers arrived."
"Kill and silence!"
Gao Hong's eyes instantly glanced at Zhou Yulang, this guy wouldn't make such a stupid move, would he? If you really think others are fools, the witnesses will be silenced as soon as the account books appear, and the time is faster than the arrest. Naturally, Zhou Yulang is the most suspect. But it was really difficult for him to handle this matter. The main task of his imperial envoy was to announce the decree, not to investigate the court officials. But when things have reached this stage, just treat it as if you don’t know, and it’s hard for the Holy Spirit to explain it to you. This week Yulang really gave him a problem!
Zhou Yulang's face was livid, knowing that the second brother would not be so stupid, and it would be Wu Tianliang who tried to silence him. The other party had obviously planned and calculated his movements accurately.
At this time, Gao Hong was silent for a moment and said: "Master Zhou, I hope you will investigate this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Holy Emperor asks, I will only report the truth!"
There is no way, the emperor has five dragon guards inside, six gates outside, and too many eyes and ears to count. Almost nothing can be hidden from him. If Zhou Yulang couldn't resolve the situation as soon as possible, he would have to conduct a thorough investigation.
"Yes, sir, please rest assured, I will definitely find out within three days."
Zhou Yulang quickly cupped his fists and said. There was murderous intention in his heart. Wu Tianliang must die, otherwise he would be in serious trouble sooner or later.
