"There is no account book in the secret room?" Xie Xuan'an was a little surprised.

He stared at Li Qingqing, unwilling to believe that after all this trouble, there was nothing.

He looked at Li Qingqing with resentment, not quite willing to give up.

"Have you found any other evidence?"

"Well, I found a lot of swords in the secret room. They are all brand new and of high quality. There are about two hundred of them!"

Li Qingqing didn't let him wait too long. She felt a little sleepy, so she sorted out her thoughts and continued:

"Mr. Liu is not only skilled in martial arts, but he also has an attendant who is as skilled as me."

"Oh, right, I remember Mr. Liu once came to your restaurant for dinner. At that time, he called someone "Master Luo." I guess there's something going on between them."

"The account book must be there, but it's not in the secret room!"

Li Qingqing finished telling what she knew, a hint of sleepiness in her eyes. She casually picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea to refresh herself.

She had no idea that her words were like a thunderclap, shocking Xie Xuan'an and Yun Ying.

"There are so many weapons in the secret room?"

Xie Xuanan's narrow peach blossom eyes were slightly startled, revealing a hint of surprise.

This is a huge amount of information, even more serious than searching the account books!

Yun Ying, who was often on the frontier and was very sensitive to weapons, was furious and stood up with a bang. "Mr. Liu is colluding with bandits and selling out his country?!"

On the other hand, Zhou Yimo's reaction was rather indifferent.

After all, he hardly ever comes into contact with such complicated matters in his daily life.

Seeing that his wife was really sleepy, he wanted to find an opportunity to talk to County Magistrate Xie and ask him to let them go home.

Moreover, he felt that County Magistrate Xie's foundation in Yuntai County was not stable, so he had to conceal his identity when traveling.

Now that his wife has helped him find out such a serious matter, if Mr. Liu finds out about it, he will have to be on guard against a counterattack.

No matter how you look at this, you can feel that County Magistrate Xie is in a very precarious situation, with his life hanging by a thread!

So, will Yuntai County soon have its fifth county magistrate?

Zhou Yimo instantly felt a surge of sympathy, and he suddenly asked:

"Could it be that Mr. Liu has important iron ore resources in his hands?"

You know what, copying books for two years is different. I’m especially good at grasping the key points.

Three pairs of eyes fell on Zhou Yimo at the same time.

Two of them were from Xie Xuan'an and Yun Ying. They looked at each other. What was going on?

Such a confidential matter was actually known by two outsiders?

One of them was from Li Qingqing. Seeing that they were talking more and more seriously, she had no choice but to speak out to stop them:

"Hey, Mr. Xie, it's more important for you two to talk about business. My husband and I are going home."

Really! It's better for her not to get involved in such an important secret.

Her current goal is to help Zhou's mother recover quickly so that the family can have a new house to live in and money to spend.

These are what she, as the housekeeper, needs to consider.

Li Qingqing yawned. She felt so sleepy!

She worked the hardest all night.

Now that he has the evidence, it is up to him, County Magistrate Xie, to decide whether he can deal with Mr. Liu. Anyway, she is sure to get 20% of the profit.

"Thank you, County Magistrate. Remember my reward!"

Li Qingqing threw down a few words and left Zuiyuexuan with Zhou Yimo.

She had no idea that at this moment Xie Xuan'an was secretly trying to get his money back from her.

There were few people in the town. Li Qingqing was sleepy and only focused on guarding against others. She took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and threw the weapon directly into the space in front of Zhou Yimo.

Zhou Yimo blinked.

Madam, shouldn't you have a reasonable explanation at this moment?

Li Qingqing was slightly startled by Zhou Yimo's gaze.

Ugh! What did she just do?! It's over! I woke up from my nap.

Li Qingqing silently looked away, sorted out her thoughts, and said:

"We've bought a large piece of mountain land. I want to build a brick house on the flat land on the mountainside so that we don't have to live in a mud house anymore."

"Brick and tile house? Do you mean blue bricks?" Zhou An's eyes flashed, and he was successfully attracted by her words.

Li Qingqing nodded.

"Yes, blue bricks. Houses built with blue bricks are strong and durable, and can withstand wind and rain. They are also very comfortable to live in. Do you know where I can buy some?"

She didn't mean to change the subject, but she had always had this thought.

She just said it because she got the title deed yesterday.

Zhou Yimo pondered for a moment.

"As far as I know, blue bricks are only available in Kyoto and the prefectures, but the distance is long and transportation is inconvenient. It's not cost-effective for us to buy blue bricks there."

"Really?" Li Qingqing thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

Not to mention other places, just take the road from Lihua Village to Qiu Shui Town. It is usually bumpy. If it rains, people can't walk on it, let alone ox carts.

If you rent a car to tow it back from such a long distance, the cost will be as much as buying a house directly in the local area.

She took it for granted and thought that blue bricks could be bought everywhere.

But adobe houses are really uncomfortable to live in, especially during the rainy season.

Li Qingqing was thinking as she walked. When they passed by a bun shop, they bought thirty buns and took them home.

Zhou Yimo meant that since his wife was tired after a night of sleep, she shouldn't cook. She should go home and have a good rest. They could just make do with having two buns at home.

Li Qingqing thought about it and felt it made sense, so she followed his lead.

The two walked slowly towards Lihua Village.

Little did he know that at this time Mr. Liu was sitting on a chair in the study, extremely angry.

He never imagined that the 60,000 taels of silver in the secret room were gone just like that, without even a trace left.

In the first half of the night, he was still enjoying himself in the other courtyard. When he hurried back in the second half of the night, he saw Governor Qian and his men fighting.

Governor Qian cheated when he couldn't win, and revealed his identity directly. It turned out that he was a subordinate of the deputy commander of the Tianwu Camp.

Previously, the deputy commander of the Tianwu Camp threatened him with human trafficking and asked him to kidnap a girl. However, the girl escaped, and several of his men disappeared along with her!

He was always afraid that the deputy commander would come after him.

Now, even if it is a small minion under his command, he dare not mess with him as long as he has a name.

After sending Governor Qian away, Mr. Liu stepped into the study and immediately issued an order:

"Come here, move this shipment somewhere else as quickly as possible! Also, immediately send someone to inform Boss Luo that this shipment has been discovered. Tell him to send someone to take it away as soon as possible!"

As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, someone outside the study immediately responded and left.

Mr. Liu was filled with emotion.

Fortunately, he prepared for a rainy day and never kept important things together.

His account book was placed in a place that no one expected!

Mr. Liu sat down in his study, with Ghost Eagle following close behind him, standing quietly beside him.

Mr. Liu frowned, and a fierce and gloomy look appeared on his slightly thin and sunken face.

He was wondering who the person who was proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia that Ghost Eagle had intercepted before was?

No matter who it is, he has to nip it in the bud!

"Ghost Eagle, do you think this person might have been sent by the county magistrate?" Mr. Liu pondered for a long time, pondering it over and over in his mind.

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Although the county magistrate is cunning, he definitely doesn't have the help of such a master. When Luo Da sent people to rescue Di Dan and the other two, they injured his men!"

Mr. Liu nodded slightly, he knew about this matter.

But what he hated most was this kind of elusive person who always hid behind the scenes, making it impossible to figure out his true intentions!

He had a sense of insecurity, as if he was battling a master and had no idea of ​​his enemy's strength.

Mr. Liu spoke in a deep voice with a hint of indignation in his tone:

"This county magistrate has been in Yuntai County for so long, yet he hasn't even shown up once! He's so cunning!"

Ghost Eagle didn't respond, but stood quietly by and waited.

Mr. Liu was indignant for a long time, and suddenly asked:

"Hu Dabao previously uncovered information saying that someone saw a scholar taking the girl away. Do you know who that scholar was?"

Ghost Eagle stood aside and replied respectfully, "Master, we haven't found out yet. We are sending people to search secretly in the academy."

Mr. Liu nodded, a sharp look flashing in his eyes, "This matter must be resolved as soon as possible!"

It would be a big hidden danger if the deputy commander came to settle the score later.

He paused, thinking of the lost 60,000 taels of silver.

This time I really suffered a loss, and I can't even report it to the police.

He really couldn't swallow this breath, so he ordered again:

"Go, try every possible means to attract more people to spend money in our gambling houses and brothels."

He vowed to earn back the lost money!
