After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

At night, Jing Lei placed a letter with bloody fingerprints in front of Xu Xing.

The letter contained nearly twenty sums of silver that Jiang Huaiqing had received as the magistrate of Qingchuan County.

However, the Song family did not know where the silver went, because every time a certain amount of silver was collected, Jiang Huaiqing would arrange for someone to send the silver away.

As for where to send it, Jiang Huaiqing never mentioned it.

Recently, there were problems with the two batches of silver. One batch was stolen from the warehouse in the mansion, and the other batch was lost on the way.

Jiang Huaiqing let the secret slip when he and Song were arguing, otherwise Song would not have known that the newly-earned silver was gone before she even had time to look at it.

In other words, whether it was given away or stolen, the whereabouts of more than 200,000 taels of silver remains a mystery.

Only Jiang Huaiqing knows the answer.

However, such a huge number only passed through the hands of one county magistrate. What if there are others...

Xu Xing closed the letter and sneered, "This matter is of great importance and involves a lot of money. It is impossible for Lu Zhan and Jiang Huaiqing to do it alone."

In other words, there must be other officials in the court involved, even important officials in the court.

Now that we have Song's confession, it is equivalent to finding the key to open Jiang Huaiqing's door. Now, we have to exert our strength on Lu Zhan.

There was a woman beside Lu Zhan.

Xu Xing saw the woman the first and second time, and Lu Zhan liked her very much. This time he went with Jiang Hao and saw the woman as well.

They can start with this woman...

"Zhuifeng, go check the background of the woman next to Lu Zhan."

"Yes!"

Zhuifeng immediately obeyed the order.

After Zhuifeng left, Xu Xing said to Jinglei, "Keep an eye on Jiang Huaiqing. Our whereabouts may be discovered soon. If necessary, ensure his life."

If anyone noticed that they had already launched an investigation in Qingchuan County, Jiang Huaiqing's life would most likely be in danger.

"Yes!"

Just as Xu Xing gave his instructions, something happened to Jiang Huaiqing.

It wasn't that he encountered an assassin, but he suddenly suffered a stroke after having dinner at the Song family's place.

Jiang Huaiqing suddenly fell ill, and the Jiang residence was in chaos.

Recently, the original eldest daughter of the Jiang family was proved not to be from the Jiang family, but Li Xiuer recognized her ancestry and became Miss Jiang. The eldest son was kidnapped and two fingers were cut off while studying, and he lost half his life. Now, the master has suffered a stroke again...

The servants in the mansion were all discussing privately that the master's family was possessed by evil spirits and must have offended some unclean creature.

Otherwise, how do you explain all this?

Jiang Hao got the news the next afternoon. He was stunned at first, then shook his head and smiled, "This stroke is really timely."

Hong Xiu didn't know what Jiang Hao meant by this, so she sighed and said, "Luckily, the young lady saved me and I jumped out of the fire pit. Otherwise, I would have fallen into the fire pit and couldn't climb out at all."

Most people who have suffered a stroke have crooked mouth corners, their eyes squint in one direction, they cannot speak clearly, they cannot move, half of their body is numb, they have impaired consciousness, and they may even have convulsions and are completely unable to take care of themselves.

If Hong Xiuru had really climbed into Jiang Huaiqing's bed, she would now be one of the concubines who serve the sick.

"Miss, you said the master..."

Hong Xiu didn't change her words for a while, but when she realized something was wrong, she quickly stopped talking: "Is Master Jiang really that ill? Should we appoint a new master?"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Jiang Hao suppressed his smile and prepared to go to the Jiang Mansion in disguise.
