The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

Lin Qiuer was in a really bad mood.

She originally wanted to find out from Butler Zhong who poisoned Old Master Gu, but she didn't expect that Butler Zhong was killed by the problematic young lady.

While chasing the man, they unexpectedly came across the scene where the county magistrate was assassinated.

What's worse is that although she knew that the express letter sent by her eldest brother over a distance of 800 miles was sent by the county magistrate, when she wanted to ask the county magistrate's wife where the letter was sent, she was stopped by her third brother.

If it was my fourth brother, he would definitely not stop me, and might even help me force the question.

Lin Qiu'er suddenly thought of her fourth brother. She stood up nervously and looked around. "Where's the fourth brother? He just went to kill the wife of Butler Zhong. Hasn't he come back yet? Could he be in trouble?"

Lin Nanye held Lin Qiuer's shoulders and asked her to sit down again. "Little sister, don't worry about your fourth brother. Although he is not very smart sometimes, he is definitely first-rate in terms of martial arts. There are probably not many people in this world who can defeat him. He will be fine."

Seeing Lin Qiu'er's anxious look, Gu Anqing also spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, Miss Qiu'er, the guards have also chased after him. If Brother Lin is really in danger, they will not sit idly by."

Lin Qiuer felt that she was really tortured tonight. Her heartbeat was fluctuating. If this continued, sooner or later her little heart would not be able to bear it.

She picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp, and her mood finally eased a little.

In order to divert her anxious mood, Lin Qiuer stood up and walked to the table. She held the lock on the box with both hands and twisted it gently, breaking the lock into two pieces.

When Chang Qing saw this scene, he instantly felt a chill on his neck, as if Lin Qiuer had twisted his head off.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to drive this ridiculous idea out of his mind.

"Changqing, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed?" Lin Qiuer unscrewed the lock on the box and was about to find a place to throw the lock inside. When she turned around, she saw Changqing shaking his head in fear, so she kindly explained.

"I don't have any medicine for the disease of being possessed by evil spirits."

Gu Anqing also noticed Changqing's strange look. Changqing had grown up with him since he was a child, so naturally they had extraordinary feelings for each other. "Changqing, if you feel uncomfortable, go see the old doctor."

Chang Qing made a bitter face and shook his head repeatedly to deny, "Master, Miss Lin, I'm really fine. I was just frightened by the way Miss Lin turned the lock."

When Lin Qiuer heard Chang Qing's answer, she rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "Tsk, Chang Qing, I didn't expect you to be so timid."

Chang Qing remained silent, as his strength did not allow him to refute.

Seeing that he was indeed fine, Lin Qiu'er stopped paying attention to him and continued with what she had done before. She opened the lid of the box and saw that it was full of account books.

Gu Anqing stood beside Lin Qiuer and looked into the box at the same time as Lin Qiuer. When he saw that the opened box contained account books, he was also very confused.

Although he didn't know why the county magistrate wanted to hand these things over to the Gu family, he still reached out and picked up the account book and started to read it.

Lin Qiu'er followed suit and picked up an account book to read. After reading one, she picked up another and flipped through it. She frowned and spread out the two problematic account books on the table. She pointed to a place with one hand and said, "The numbers in these two account books don't match."

The book recorded: In autumn, 187 shi of grain were collected from the county warehouse, and 20 shi of grain were sent to the military camp. One month later, the amount of grain sent to the military camp increased to 40 shi, and 40 shi of grain was sent every other month thereafter.

Lin Qiuer pointed back and forth between 20 and 40 shi, raised her eyes and asked Gu Anqing, "Is the military camp expanding its army in large numbers at this time?"

"There has been no war recently and no one has been killed, so the number of soldiers will not be increased. The book I wrote records the weapons supplied to the military camp, and the number is wrong." Gu Anqing's face changed drastically when he saw the number of weapons recorded in the book.

He often helped his grandfather with military camp affairs and knew that the numbers in the account books did not match the actual amounts they received.

Lin Qiu'er and Gu Anqing exchanged the account books in their hands and carefully confirmed again that they were not mistaken.

The number of soldiers did not increase, but the consumption of food and fodder doubled, and the number of weapons did not match the amount received.

The two men now understood that the county magistrate had discovered that someone in Lingao County had falsified accounts for food and weapons, which led to his death.

“I think the county magistrate came to Linggao just to investigate these matters.

He must have sent these contents by express delivery over a distance of 800 miles. No wonder they wanted to kill the messenger and the county magistrate. "Lin Qiuer couldn't help but admire the county magistrate's courage from the bottom of her heart. He touched the cake in someone's hand, no wonder they wanted to kill him.

Although I know that it was the county magistrate who caused my eldest brother to disappear, judging from these account books, I really can't blame him.

Although Gu Anqing felt sorry for the death of the county magistrate, he was more worried about whether there were accomplices of these people in the military camp.

Otherwise, how did they sign and receive the money in these account books, and how did they tamper with the receiving ledgers of the military camp?

"I will report this to Grandpa right away." Gu Anqing was anxious. He picked up a book of weapons and a book of food and fodder, turned around and told Changqing seriously, "Keep an eye on the books. Don't make any mistakes."

Chang Qing had been listening in, so he naturally knew the importance of these account books, and immediately responded, "Please rest assured, Master. Chang Qing will protect these account books until his death."

Lin Qiu'er and Lin Nanye looked at each other. They completely ignored her and the third brother in their conversation.

He immediately became unhappy, "Is it necessary to swear to die? Who are you protecting against? Protecting me and my third brother? There are so many of you here, and we are weak and helpless, with only four pairs of hands. Shouldn't we be worried about being silenced by you?"

These words shattered Chang Qing's solemn attitude of facing death head-on, and also made Gu An Qing laugh and cry.

"Miss Qiu'er, you know very well that I'm not trying to be on guard against you." Gu Anqing felt a little aggrieved.

"From what Mr. Gu said just now, I felt that he was on guard against us siblings." Lin Nanye felt that Gu Anqing had ulterior motives towards his younger sister and never forgot to undermine him.

Lin Qiu'er's anger came and went quickly. Besides, food and weapons were a big deal no matter where they were. So she waved her hand at Gu Anqing and said, "It's still in the Gu Mansion. Can you guys not be so nervous? Mr. Gu, go find Old Master Gu."

Lin Nanye didn't care whether the box of account books was important or not. His mission was to protect his younger sister, and other things had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Lin Qiuer was no longer angry with him, Gu Anqing thanked her repeatedly and left in big strides.
