After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

However, the three of them waited for a long time but no one came back. It was not until 1:15 am the next day that Sanyuan hurried back.

However, there was no trace of the maid behind him, and even the few people she brought with her were nowhere to be found.

"What's going on? Where are the people?"

"That maid got married yesterday, and we couldn't break in and bring her back, so we had to wait nearby. I was afraid that you would worry, so I came back to tell you the news." Sanyuan grabbed his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Hmm~" Gao Zhili responded, tapping the table with his fingers from time to time:

"I heard that the bride in Mingzhou will return home on the third day after getting married. I will go there myself then."

"Oh, by the way, young master, General Su just sent someone to deliver a letter." Sanyuan slapped his head, took out the letter from his arms and handed it over.

When Gao Zhili opened the letter, his eyes widened instantly. It turned out that on the first day Su Qinchao started working, he accidentally overheard the conversation between the managers on the ship.

The words not only mentioned several senior officials of the Maritime Customs, but also the chief officials in Lianzhou and the low-level clerks who all made money. The amount was considerable as the profits decreased layer by layer. Just one ship could take up 30% of the profits.

You have to know that these are things from foreign countries, full of precious stuff. Not to mention three layers, even if there is only one layer, it is exaggerated and jaw-dropping.

"No wonder everyone keeps silent. It turns out there is money to be made from everyone from top to bottom." Gao Zhili put away the letter, folded it and hid it in the book.

"Young Master, do we really have to wait for two days?" Sanyuan scratched his hair in annoyance. When he came, he also instructed the three servants of the He Mansion that he brought with him yesterday to continue watching.

"Wait! Anyway, the matter has already been resolved, so there is no need to waste time."

"Okay~"

...

Early in the morning on the third day, Gao Zhili brought He Pin in a carriage (an open carriage) filled with flowers and colorful silks.

We drove to Majiazhuang in Lin County in a high-profile manner, as if we were going for a picnic.

Although it attracted many people's attention along the way, no one really cared.

After all, someone had spread the news that He Pin had been redeemed yesterday.

So everyone thought that the young master of the Sima family was going out for fun with his favorite concubine.

As the carriage was light, they arrived at Majiazhuang in just over half an hour. Gao Zhili called the servant of the He family who was hiding in the dark and asked about the situation. Only then did he learn that the daughter and son-in-law of the Ma family had not arrived yet.

"It seems a little early." Gao Zhili looked up at the sky. It was only three quarters past three in the morning, and others didn't have a carriage to ride in. Didn't that mean they were early?

So Gao Zhili led He Pin and pretended to appreciate the surrounding scenery. It took them three quarters of an hour before they saw a newlywed couple in red clothes walking from the village entrance.

"It's them!" Sanyuan saw people coming and shouted in a low voice.

"I saw it!" Gao Zhili stared at the two men until they disappeared on the village road, then he looked away.

"When can we find him?" Sanyuan rubbed his hands excitedly. After waiting for two days, he was a little impatient.

"No rush, let's let Miss He take the lead first." Gao Zhili chuckled and told He Pin his thoughts.

After He Pin walked towards the village road, he returned to the carriage and sat down.

The sun was particularly strong today and he needed some shade.

Fortunately, not long after, He Pin brought Xiaochun here, and her newlywed husband followed not far behind.

"Are you Xiaochun?" Gao Zhili did not get out of the car, looking down at Xiaochun.

It wasn't that he was being so domineering on purpose, but he wanted to avoid suspicion, so that even if her husband was standing far away, he could still see clearly and wouldn't cause gossip.

"Yes, sir." On the way, her young lady had already told her the general situation.

Originally, she wanted to tell the young lady directly where the evidence was hidden, but the young lady insisted that she come over and talk to the gentleman in person.

"I heard from your young lady that you left a month before the Yu Mansion was investigated, right?"

"Yes." This lord was very majestic, and his aura was even more fierce than the previous master.

"Why did you leave so suddenly? Did Yu Changshi give you something?"

"No, my brother gave it to me. At first I didn't know what it was. Later, when my brother came back, he asked me to wrap it in brown paper and bury it under the sycamore tree in the back mountain. That's when I found out."

Xiaochun thought about it and told the whole story in detail, even describing what the sycamore tree looked like, in which direction it was, and approximately how far it was from the foot of the mountain.

"Remember, we are only here to congratulate you on your wedding." Gao Zhili said, looking into her eyes steadily. After making sure that she understood, he turned away, took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to her.

"Thank you, sir." Xiaochun understood what he meant and took the red envelope. He knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them to express his gratitude.

"Go!"

At this point, Gao Zhili obtained Yu Fu's evidence.

It contains not only evidence of his records when he was the head of the Sibo Commissioner, but also evidence of corruption by officials such as provincial governors, military officers, chief clerks, and deputy drivers.

"In such a state, only the Sima and the judicial officer are clean. However, this evidence alone is not enough to clean out these parasites."

After Gao Zhili finished speaking, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the Maritime Customs, hoping that Su Qin could find more evidence there.

But soon he stopped worrying about these things because Su Qinchao came back and brought some important letters and accounts.

"This was given to me by the secret guard sent by the higher-ups." Su Qinchao thought of the arrogant look of the man in black last night and felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

That fellow actually got ahead of him and turned the study rooms of several important figures in the Ministry of Maritime Affairs upside down.

Originally, after hearing what the stewards said on the boat, he had planned to sneak in at night, but he didn't expect to run into the man in black again.

The man in black also said that he followed them for a few days, but seeing no progress, he felt that it was too slow, so he couldn't help but take action.

After saying that, he stood there and laughed at him. He was so despicable. If he couldn't beat him, he would definitely beat him up to vent his anger.

"Oh my God!" Gao Zhili flipped through the accounts and couldn't help but exclaim.

The profit was much greater than he had imagined. If this money could be deposited into the national treasury, the Tangut military expenses would be covered in two years.

Gao Zhili made up his mind that he must present the evidence immediately.

The next day, he took the token given to him by the emperor, found the spy lurking in Mingzhou, and asked him to deliver the things to Chang'an as soon as possible.
