Chapter 537 New puzzle

  Qiao Zhao couldn't help clenching the water glass and calmly looked at the man who was questioning.

   She could clearly see the other party's nervousness.

   "Don't talk about kissing in the twelfth lunar month."

   Shao Mingyuan's eyes lit up: "How about next spring?"

   "I haven't arrived yet, and my parents may not agree."

   When Qiao Zhao mentioned his parents, Shao Mingyuan became even more nervous, he hesitated and asked, "Zhaozhao, how do you think I behaved just now?"

   "Huh?" Qiao Zhao didn't know where to ask.

   Shao Mingyuan rubbed his hands: "That's it... Is your mother-in-law still satisfied with me?"

  Qiao Zhao directly smashed the handkerchief on the man's face and said, "Do you want face? Who is your mother-in-law?"

   Knowing that Mr. He was gone, Shao Mingyuan immediately became more courageous and said with a smile: "Who is your mother, who is my mother-in-law."

   Qiao Zhao gave him a white look.

  Shao Mingyuan held Qiao Zhao's hand, feeling a little cold, and rubbed his hands together lightly: "Zhao Zhao, seriously, did I behave just now?"

  Qiao Zhao couldn't help laughing: "I thought you were so daring, you were afraid of my mother."

   "Of course, what if my mother-in-law doesn't give you to me?"

  Qiao Zhao sighed: "Marriage matters are the words of the parents' matchmaker. You ask me, how do I know what to do?"

  Shao Mingyuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, raised his hand and rubbed his face, and said in distress, "You mean that your mother-in-law is not satisfied with me?"

  Qiao Zhao glanced at him: "If you have a daughter who is not yet young, and a daring boy falls in love with her, and secretly buys your next door for a tryst, what will you do?"

   Lord General's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and said coldly, "I peeled that kid's skin!"

  Qiao Zhao didn't speak, just looked at the stunned man and smiled.

   Shao Mingyuan rubbed his face fiercely: "It's over!"

   He was depressed for a moment, then struggled: "But the prince's mansion is next to our house, no one can afford it..."

  Champion Hou's Mansion is located near the imperial city. It is the mansion of the emperor and represents the extraordinary glory of Champion Hou.

  Qiao Zhao stopped teasing him: "Okay, let's talk about our business next year, anyway, no rush, you can send this account book first, and let me know at any time if there is anything else."

   Shao Mingyuan took the account book and was listless.

  Who said there is no rush? He is already twenty-one!

  The daughter-in-law who has been married for several years has become a little girl, and she has to wait for her to grow up, and her taste is not humane to the outside world.

  Shao Mingyuan sent Qiao Zhao to the gate, raised his hand and touched her cheek lightly, and warned in a warm voice, "Go back and rest well, and let Chenguang come next door to find the guards who guard the house."

   "Understood, let's go, business is important."

  Qiao Zhao stood beside the apricot tree and watched the man neatly turn over and disappear at the entrance of the alley before turning around and returning to the Loei House.

   It was almost noon when Shao Mingyuan rushed back to the yamen of the Punishment Department. The three important officials in the study had no intention of eating and waited for his return.

   Seeing Shao Mingyuan's figure at the door, the three of them immediately got up to meet him.

"How's it going?"

   Shao Mingyuan handed over the account book with the scent of ink.

   Kou Xing took over and opened it, and the beautiful small print appeared on the paper.

   Kou Xing couldn't help but look at Shao Mingyuan.

  Shao Mingyuan stood aside with no expression on his face, and there was no clue on his face.

   Kou Xing finished reading and handed the account book to Zhang Siqing beside him.

   Zhang Siqing turned to one of the pages, pointed to a person's name and said, "I remember this person, a small hundred households can accept bribes of five hundred taels, which is really shocking!"

   Censor Zuodu also remembered and said with a smile: "I also have an impression of this person. At that time, Master Zhang was only impressed when he saw his name at a glance, right?"

   Hundreds of households recorded in the account book have the same name as Zhang Siqing. Zhang Siqing scolded him at that time, but he did not expect it to be the key to verifying the rightness of the account book.

   "The page number and location of the name record are exactly the same. Lord Hou, I'm really curious as to who this account book came from." Zhang Siqing said with admiration.

  Shao Mingyuan said bluntly: "It doesn't matter who the account book came from, what matters is that it solved the troubles of the three adults. Zhang Siqing, do you think so?"

   Zhang Siqing has been in the officialdom for many years, and it is certainly not easy to get into the position of Dali Siqing. Hearing the faint warning in Shao Mingyuan's tone naturally dispelled the idea of ​​asking.

   No matter who he wrote the account book silently, the most important thing is not to delay their investigation.

   "Did my uncle and brother silently write another account book?"

   Kou Xing smiled and said, "The account book should be thicker, and Mo'er should have written it soon."

   The voice just fell, and Qiao Mo walked out of the study.

  He couldn't hide the tiredness between his brows, but his expression was calm and calm, and he gave the thick account book to Kou Xingze with both hands: "Kou Shangshu, take a look."

   Kou Xing quickly flipped through it, and said to the other two, "Then ask Yushi Xing to transcribe it."

   The two nodded in unison.

   When I got the two account books, I thought this difficulty was over, but when I got to Yushi Xing, something went wrong.

   "I lost the original account book, let me re-transcribe what someone else wrote by default?" Xing Yushi looked serious and shook his head repeatedly, "This is absolutely impossible!"

   "Why not?" Zhang Siqing looked surprised.

  Xing Yushi said sternly: "The account book is related to the fate of many officials, how can it be faked?"

   "Who faked? These two account books were written silently according to the account books you wrote!" Zhang Siqing said frantically.

   "Where's the evidence?" Xing Yushi asked rhetorically.

"evidence?"

   "Yes, the lower official doesn't remember the contents of the two account books now. How can we be sure that there are no errors in the two account books that were rewritten by default?"

   "This—" Zhang Siqing was speechless when asked, and gave a wink to the imperial censor of the left.

  This is your subordinate, you should come.

Zuo Du Yushi cleared his throat and said in a cordial tone: "Xing Yushi, these two account books are indeed written silently according to the account books you wrote. We have verified it just now, and there is no problem. The emperor is still waiting for us. If the result of the case is found out, you should re-transcribe the account book as soon as possible."

  Yushi Xing asked in a daze: "How to verify? I am the person who wrote the account books, and I can't be sure if the two account books are wrong. How can the three adults verify?"

   Zuodu Censor was so choked that he was speechless.

   Zhang Siqing rolled his eyes at the censor of Zuodu, and slandered: No wonder people say that the people of the Duchayuan are all stones in the kennel, smelly and hard!

Zuodu Censor couldn't hold his face a little, and he increased his tone: "Xing Yushi, if you don't transcribe the account book, have you ever thought that everything you've worked so hard for will be in vain? Those irritating corrupt officials will continue to go unpunished? "

"Xiaoguan knows these principles, but one is one, and two is two. The names on the account books that adults see are related to the fate of a family or even a family. What's the difference between those silverfish?" Xing Yushi asked loudly.

   Liu Ye went out, and Mr. Cunbao appeared. Everyone should take care of Mr. Cunbao, so as not to let the wind out.
