Mo Yi paused and said, "They are just rumors with a touch of ghost stories. Don't take them seriously."

It means default.

Li Mofu held his head and cried, "Oh my God, are we so poor that we have to live in a haunted house?!"

"Ahem," Mo Yi coughed, "It's not about money, but Su County is just a small county. It's hard to find a large compound that can accommodate so many people. Even if we rebuild it, it will take time, and the young master won't be staying here for long, so why bother?"

Li Mofu pounded his chest in pain, feeling very upset.

However, no matter how upset he was, he still had to go back to the yard. However, he felt a little uneasy and everything seemed abnormal to him.

At night, Li Mofu couldn't sleep and insisted that Guozi make a small bed next to him to keep him company. The three kittens were still sleeping and had slept for almost the entire day.

The next day, Li Mofu did not go out and stayed at home.

He didn't dare go up to the pavilion, as he was particularly disgusted by the thought that someone had died there. He wasn't afraid when Hongdou was hanging in front of his courtyard gate because he knew Hongdou and what kind of person she was.

But he didn't know the actress who died here, so who knew if she would kill innocent people?

Of course, Li Mofu did not believe in ghosts and gods, but the discomfort in his heart was difficult to get rid of.

Lu Mingyun was always avoiding him, leaving early and returning late. As for where he went, only he knew.

In fact, Lu Mingyun has been looking through old files recently. He wants to find out what Su County is hiding and not daring to show him.

It would have been fine if I hadn't checked, but once I did, I discovered something was wrong with Su County's accounts. The account books only covered the past five years, and the books from five years ago were missing?

Lu Mingyun knew there was something fishy going on, so he began to look through the files, which recorded all the big and small events that had happened in Su County over the years.

Five years ago, the county magistrate of Su County was Huang Minyuan, who had been transferred to another county three years ago. In the second year of his term, the place where the account books were stored caught fire and all the account books were burned.

Logically, there should be two copies of the account book, one for review and one for hidden preservation, and these two copies cannot be kept together.

But the county government office was moved at that time, and because the things were not immediately divided into different parts when they arrived at the new location, both parts were burned.

The arsonist was an old man who said he wanted to burn down the county government office because he couldn't stand seeing the officials living so well. In the end, the old man was taken to the market and beheaded.

Burning the account books is a very serious matter. Logically, Huang Minyuan should report it to the court, and the court should also punish Huang Minyuan.

But no, the court only responded with two things regarding this matter: one was that they knew about it, and the other was that they had to do their accounting properly in the future and not make such mistakes again.

This caught Lu Mingyun's attention.

The burning of the account books was undoubtedly intended to conceal the economic situation in Su County, but this was something that was visible to the naked eye and was normal in Su County. What was there to conceal?

Unless, there is something recorded in this account book that shouldn't be recorded.

Account books are different from files. The numbers in account books must match up top and bottom to avoid being exposed, and it is too troublesome to make changes. However, files can be modified and put back.

Lu Mingyun spent several days looking through all the files, and he actually found a file with relatively new handwriting. This file was from the period when Huang Minyuan was there.

During this period, Huang Minyuan may have done something that he didn't want others to know.

Su County is located in the central part of China, and it is unrealistic for it to communicate with foreign enemies. Therefore, it can only be related to the sensitive struggle for the throne.

Lu Mingyun brought a total of three guards, one to deal with the corpse he burned, one to guard Li Mofu, and the other was asked by him to investigate the matter of Huang Minyuan.

After being busy for several days, Lu Mingyun finally came back early. He suddenly wanted to see Li Mofu very much, so he walked towards the backyard of the courtyard. Unexpectedly, he saw a witch jumping around in the pavilion.
