In the blank space in the lower right corner of this page.

It seems...there is a word?

Maybe it is because the word is too small. If you don’t look at it carefully, you can’t tell that it is a word at all.

Shao Jingheng's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

He took the candle next to him and took a lighter light on the account book, lowered his head and took a closer look.

When Chu Zhaoci saw him staring at the account book, he realized that he seemed to have discovered something, got up from his seat, came over to look at him.

That look...

It seems that he saw that word too.

As a result, he stared at the page for a long time, but he didn't find anything?

As for the word Shao Jingheng saw...

In Chu Zhaoci's eyes, isn't that just a little bit of ink that accidentally dripped on while keeping accounts? This is a very normal thing!

Until Shao Jingheng asked, "Do you know the man who is famous for his name?"

Chu Zhaoci was slightly stunned when asked.

He immediately thought about it in his mind, and there was no one with the name "wood" in his mind, so he replied that he didn't know him.

Shao Jingheng fell silent again.

After a while, he spoke again, "Do you know who Kyoto is in the waiter just now?"

When the waiter was talking to Chu Zhaoci, Shao Jingheng heard it.

Then he naturally heard the one from Kyoto.

Chu Zhaoci naturally knew who it was.

When he was in the palace, he asked Ling An to secretly monitor the private exchanges of the ministers and put eyeliners in their mansions.

He basically knew the overview of each minister.

However, those ministers were not stupid. Although they didn't know that Chu Zhaoci had put eyeliners in their mansion, they would doubt whether the emperor would put eyeliners in their mansion.

In this way, they are very careful in doing things.

Chu Zhaoci said that he understood, but he did not understand it well.

Just like Prime Minister Li.

This is an old fox.

Chu Zhaoci also put eyeliners in his mansion, but the eyeliners rarely heard the movements between him and outsiders.

But the more this happens, the more problems there are.

Chu Zhaoci increased his surveillance of Prime Minister Li, but it was found that Prime Minister Li had contacts with several small countries on the border.

But because he is the prime minister, he often has jobs on foreign countries, and his interactions with them seem to be normal in the eyes of outsiders.

Chu Zhaoci's eyeliner heard Prime Minister Li's instructing his guards to say, "Mobilize two thousand people to the Western Regions, 100,000 taels of silver!"

A mere prime minister, even if you are less than one person and more than ten thousand people, you are just a civil servant.

Can the civil servants mobilize two thousand people?

What is this concept?

And silver...

The Prime Minister's salary is very high, but he has not yet reached the annual income of 100,000 taels. So where did he come from and his money?

Accept bribes!

To put it bluntly, there are no officials in Kyoto who do not accept bribes, but the emperor has always turned a blind eye.

Because their greed has no big impact on the country.

It can be 100,000 taels.

Chu Zhaoci did not think that Prime Minister Li only gave one 100,000 taels to the small border country, but this is actually 100,000 taels to the two and three.

So, so much 100,000 is solely bribed?

No!

There are definitely other sources of income.

For example, military pay!

Chu Zhaoci suddenly seemed to have figured out something, and looked at Shao Jingheng with a serious look, "You mean, is this 100,000-two room given to that person?"

Speaking of this, he also thought of the question Shao Jingheng asked just now and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask the word "Mu?"

Recalling the appearance of Shao Jingheng looking at the account book with concentration just now, Chu Zhaoci felt that he should have seen the word hidden in the account book.

If so, then Prime Minister Li will undoubtedly be!

Because there is no one in the court called "Mu", but the word "Li" has the word "Mu".

Shao Jingheng told him what he saw about the word "wood".

Chu Zhaoci stared at that point and looked at it.

Sure enough, if you look closely, it is really a word "wood"!

He also told Shao Jingheng about Prime Minister Li's problem.

Finally, I asked, "You said, what should we do now?"

With their current situation, it is definitely not possible to alert the enemy. It is more reliable to work hard to enrich your own power and find more evidence.

Shao Jingheng did not answer Chu Zhaoci's words, but looked at Ling An, "You just said that you found that there are many secret rooms in the county?"

Ling An nodded, "Yes."

Shao Jingheng then looked at Chu Zhaoci.

He didn't say anything, but Chu Zhaoci already understood.

If you want to leave Prime Minister Li, you must have enough evidence. Where does the evidence come from?

Of course it comes from the secret room.

They can find an account book from the secret room of the temple, and there may be other accounts in the secret room.

The account book is evidence.

Shao Jingheng said, "We divided into two groups, and one of them followed Ling'an to search for the secret rooms in various places to see if there were any account books."

"Go to save people all the way."

Before saving people, you have to find out how many soldiers are.

This, Shao Jingheng wants Ling An to take someone to investigate.

Ling An brought out all secret guards, and it is more accurate and safe to check with them.

What Shao Jingheng didn't expect was...

"Those are refugees on the way to flee, but they have all been trained to become lackeys from the Western Regions. There are now thousands of people in Heshui County."

"They are distributed in secret rooms everywhere."

"There are their people outside the city, and the soldiers distributed in the city are accelerating their digging of passages outside the city."

Why is digging a channel? It goes without saying.

Obviously, they are targeting Heshui County and want to completely control Heshui County.

Listening to Ling An's words, Chu Zhaoci and Shao Jingheng also understood this truth.

The two couldn't help but frown.

Shao Jingheng asked Ling An next to him, "Did they be discovered by their people when they found out that they were digging the passage?"

Ling An, “No.”

Ling An has always been careful in his work, and the secret guards he brought out perfectly inherited his caution and were not discovered.

Shao Jingheng didn't know Ling An very well, but he looked at his words, which made him feel inexplicably good and quite reliable.

He thought for a moment...

Then he said, "Do you remember how they treated you?"

This was said to Chu Zhaoci.

Chu Zhaoci was stunned for a moment, and he didn't realize what he meant. Just then, the little nun's muffled groan came from the inner room...

Ling An didn't pay much attention to the breathing in the inner room at first, but now when he heard the movement, he instinctively immediately stood up to protect Chu Zhaoci.

Obviously, he regarded the little nun as an assassin.

Chu Zhaoci hurriedly explained to him, and he relaxed.
