Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

When Qu arrived, Lord Chen had already had a cup of tea.

Neither of them showed any signs of impatience. They just raised their eyes to meet each other and looked each other around.

The two of them had the same thought: this person might not be a good person and would be difficult to deal with.

"I didn't know that the government office was here to handle the case. I was sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you will forgive me. Since my beloved got into trouble, I have been crying all day and couldn't sleep. I am really worried. I am lazy and neglected you all."

Lord Chen sneered in his heart, thinking that Madam Qu was quite eloquent. She said that she was afraid of being disrespectful, but after laying so much groundwork in the beginning, she was just mocking people for taking advantage of Lu Lu's failure to come uninvited and bullying her, a woman!

Lord Chen just pretended not to understand and said with a serious face.

"Madam Qu, you don't have to bother entertaining us. We are here to handle the case as ordered. Madam Qu, just do as we say."

"My surname is Chen, my given name is Duo, and my name is Madam Suiqu. We are under the order of Mr. Zhang, the prefect of Kaifeng, to investigate the gambling case between the Liu family father and daughter a few months ago. During the investigation, we found that Liu's father, Liu Chenggong, had excessive business dealings with Lu Qie, which was very unusual."

"Let me ask you, my lady, do you know what kind of business your husband and Liu Chenggong are doing? Have someone bring us the account books for the past three or four months. We need to check them carefully. I hope you will cooperate with me. Otherwise, we can only follow the rules."

rule?

What rules?

If you don't cooperate, you will naturally be taken to the yamen for interrogation.

Qu knew all about this very well. Because of the trouble today, she wished she could ask Lord Chen to kill Lu Zhen directly, so that the bastard would not give birth to more children to steal her children's property.

However, Lord Chen is not reckless. He said that it was because of Cha Liu's success that Lu Zhen was implicated, but it is possible that he is targeting Lu Zhen this time.

Otherwise, why is it that Lu Lu has not been visited by the government for all these years, but as soon as something happens to him, all kinds of monsters and ghosts appear!

Qu was a smart woman. She didn't believe that Lord Chen didn't know Lu Yan's background. If he knew it and still dared to bring people here directly, he must have mastered something.

How could Lord Chen really be asked to check the business accounts? There were too many businesses that Lu Qie didn't want to see, and the money transactions were even more troublesome.

Before Qu married Lu Yan, she knew that everything he did was risking his life. As a wife, she would naturally make some preparations for her husband.

It’s just checking the accounts, so just do it.

"I am just a woman who stays at home all day to take care of the children. How can I know what my husband does and meets people outside?"

"I don't know who the Liu Chenggong you mentioned is, nor do I know what he has done. My husband is still unconscious, so I can't explain anything to you. If I can find out something from the accounts, it won't be a wasted trip."

After saying this, Qu was quite happy and directly called the servant beside her to give her instructions.

"I remember that the account books of our family are all in the main courtyard bookstore. I was tidying up the desk for the master the other day. The ones that record the business transactions outside should be the ones with blue covers. You can get them all."

The little slave responded and turned to go to the main courtyard.

Lord Chen was somewhat surprised at Qu's frankness, but the lady suddenly remembered something and slammed her palm in annoyance.

"Look at my memory. Besides those blue-covered books, I have several more placed by my beloved's bedside!"

After that, Qu smiled apologetically at Master Chen and said, "I am sorry, Master Chen. My husband has a lot of business to do. He didn't like reading before, but now he has developed the habit of reading the account book before going to bed because of the business."

"I didn't take it away even though he was sick. I just hope that one day he will wake up and think about business, so that he can take it and read it."

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will go get it myself and come right back."

Qu was very anxious and walked out of the front hall quickly without waiting for Lord Chen to respond. Lord Chen and Cheng Li looked at each other silently, knowing that something must be wrong, but it was not a good idea for them to follow Qu.

Cheng Li couldn't help but reveal an anxious look, fearing that he couldn't catch Lu Lun this time, and he didn't know when he would have to wait for the next time.

Lord Chen was not in a hurry. Instead, he personally poured a drink for Cheng Li, looked around at the little slaves whose eyes fell on them intentionally or unintentionally, and said lightly.

"It's rare that Madam Qu is so cooperative. You and I will naturally report to Lord Zhang. Even if we wait until the third or fifth watch, the result will be the same."

The slaves around didn't understand what Master Chen meant and thought he was trying to appease Cheng Li, but Cheng Li understood it.

If the King of Hell wants someone to die at three o'clock in the morning, he will not keep him until five o'clock.

Lu Xun is now a fish on the chopping board and a nail on the board. Even if Qu continues to cover up for him, he can't escape now.

Thinking of this, Cheng Li calmed down and went to accompany Lord Chen for a drink.

Cheng Li went out in the wind and rain all day long, so it was not easy for him to taste the drink of the "high-ranking families". As a rough man, he could not tell whether it was good or bad. He just drank the sour and sweet taste, which was very appetizing. He accompanied the snacks brought by the servants, and did not leave any of it.

If you don’t eat to your heart’s content today, you’ll have nowhere to eat tomorrow.

Ignoring the contempt of the servants, Cheng Liqie was at ease. He had waited for quite a while, and was half full after having some snacks. Then he saw Qu Shi coming in slowly with a servant, with quite a few account books in her arms.

Cheng Li was full and naturally did not need Madam Qu to work any more. He raised his hand and walked straight forward with a few brothers, holding a pile of things in each hand. He walked to Lord Chen in three or two steps and asked him to take a look.

Originally, after hearing what Madam Qu said, Lord Chen thought that there were only four or five account books. Even if there were more, Madam Qu might not want to show them to others. Who would have thought that this would happen...

Lord Chen looked at the twenty-six account books in front of him and chuckled.

"If everyone in the world is as frank and cooperative as Madam Qu, there will be no difficult cases in the world. This is not something I can finish investigating in one day. Madam, would you allow me to take these account books to the government office for a detailed investigation? I can send them back in about five days so as not to delay your business?"

Since Qu dared to take it out, she was not afraid of someone taking it away. Besides, with Lord Chen being such a person, even if she said no, how could this man do as she wished? It would be better for her to agree to it immediately so that people would think she was more trustworthy.

"What's the big deal? As long as my husband can be cleared of all charges, Lord Chen will take me to the government office, let alone these?"

"I wonder if you would like the accountant to go with you? I don't know much about business matters, but now I just want my beloved to get better soon, and not to worry about these mundane matters when he wakes up. The sooner the case is closed, the better."

Master Chen bowed to Qu and said, "That's not necessary. Just check Liu Chenggong's account. He can explain the business he handled clearly."

"In that case, we will not disturb you any more. We will take our leave now."

After saying this, Lord Chen did not delay any longer and took Cheng Li and others out of the mansion with the account books.
