The gray shadow turned his body, and lightly dodged, and stood still, just looking at Shao Shuhuan, who was the girl who claimed to be Dugu Lanyu in the small building just now.

Shao Shuhuan looked at Gu Shaoshang. Gu Shaoshang withdrew his long sword, frowned and whispered: "This woman's identity is unknown, so it's not appropriate to stay by her side."

Shao Shuhuan smiled and said, "It's very convenient to know her origin. Just ask Fang Sheng if you know?" As he said that, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Lanyu, "Lianyu."

The girl in gray nodded, Shao Shuhuan greeted Zhuang Meng Shao and instructed: "You send her back to Keyiyuan first, I'll go to the yamen."

"Master, I'll go with you!" Dugu Lanyu floated lightly to Shao Shuhuan.

"I have a serious business in Yangzhou Yamen. You can change your clothes first." Shao Shuhuan glanced at her worn clothes and her barefoot radiated, which was very indecent.

Dugu Lanyu wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything. He took a few steps back. Shao Shuhuan had already walked outside. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and shouted: "Come."

"Here!" Several inner guards came over.

"Demolition of this small building." Shao Shuhuan ordered.

"Ah?" All the guards were puzzled.

"Disassemble now, I'll watch it." Shao Shuhuan instructed.

"Yes!" Everyone was busy agreeing, busy asking someone to demolish the building and build a small building. It might take some time, but when it is pushed to a small building, as long as there are many people and it is very convenient, everyone soon stepped forward and pushed the small building. The outside of the building looked very firm, and the walls were much thicker than ordinary small buildings, so there were problems no matter how you looked.

Sure enough, when Xiaolou pushed it, all the guards and officers not only opened their eyes wide and stared at somewhere.

Under the sunshine, the white silver ingots shone brightly on everyone's eyes...

"Young Master. Youth... There is a mezzanine inside the walls of the small building, and there are silver inside..." An inner guard said excitedly.

Shao Shuhuan nodded, silver. The piles of silver were piled up together, and it still had a shocking effect. Silver and silver bills are completely different. Silver bills - even if they are one million taels, they are just a piece of paper. However, once silver is exposed to the sun, it is still enough to be tempting to commit crimes.

"Come on, count the money for me!" Shao Shuhuan instructed.

"Yes!" A guard had already come over with the accountant and counted the silver. Since it was all cash, Shao Shuhuan told Gu Shaoshang to take good care of it.

"Young Master!" Gu Shaoshang breathed a sigh of relief. In the mezzanine of the small building, he roughly estimated that there were about 600,000 taels of silver. Although it was far from enough to make up for the seven million taels of silver lost to the salt tax in Jiangnan, plus the intercepted private salt and confiscating the Fang family's income, Shao Shuhuan could fully report to Emperor Zhou.

"Congratulations to young master!" Zhuang Meng Shao bowed and smiled.

Shao Shuhuan shook his head slowly. Congratulations. Where did this joy come from? Zhuang Meng Shao gently held the folding fan and patted his palms, and smiled and said, "Young Master Yingming. Finally, he eliminated the harm for the people, eliminated such a corrupt official like Fang Sheng, and was happy that such a beautiful woman..." As he said that, he couldn't help but glance at Dugu Lanyu standing next to him.

Shao Shuhuan just smiled bitterly, and felt that this case seemed too simple, and it was a bit of a simplicity that made him worry.

Gu Shaoshang left two reliable Xuanji Inner Guards to count the silver in the mezzanine of the small building, but he followed Shao Shuhuan to the Yangzhou Yamen. Zhuang Meng Shao ordered someone to send Dugu Lanyu to Keyi Garden to rest, but he had to check all the property of Fang Shengdi.

In the Yangzhou yamen, there was still a torture room. Shao Shuhuan sat on the chair and looked at Fang Sheng who was kneeling on the ground with a dejected head, and asked lightly: "Fang Sheng, as the prefect of Yangzhou, you are not only seeking welfare for the local people, but also taking the king's salary, but you are corrupt and abused the law. Do you know your crime?"

Fang Sheng didn't speak, he knew his guilt? At this point, what else can he say?

"Fang Sheng, let me ask you, how much money did you hide in the small building in the back garden?" Shao Shuhuan asked.

"What?" Fang Sheng was stunned. He actually found the silver in the small building in the back garden. Since he found it, there was nothing to hide. He immediately said, "The total amount of silver is 880,000 taels!" In fact, this silver was originally hidden in the compartment of the small building in case of emergencies. After all, families like them must beware of something happening sooner or later. It is still very necessary to hide a cash bank in private. However, how could he suspect that such an inconspicuous building? Even if he is corrupt, he would not be executed. He would always leave a little for his descendants?

"Who is the girl in the small building?" Shao Shuhuan asked. This was the key. The origin of the girl in gray. Originally, he just thought Fang Sheng was a pervert. A woman locked in the small building was blasphemy. However, the girl in gray actually had a good martial arts, which aroused his curiosity...

Who is that girl?

"What girl?" Fang Sheng suddenly fell into a fog. The building was empty all the time. Where were there any girls?

Shao Shuhuan smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, don't pretend to be confused. You even confess your money. Why are you doing without hiding that girl?"

"What girl?" Fang Sheng suddenly sneered, "If you fall in love with my girl, I don't care about accepting you as a son-in-law."

Shao Shuhuan snorted coldly: "Put your mouth!"

The official officer who was serving next to him agreed, walked to Fang Sheng, and hit him in the face with a crackling sound. He only hit 20 or 30 times. Fang Sheng didn't care about being beaten, and his face had long been blue and purple, screaming like a pig slaughter.

Shao Shuhuan waved his hand and asked again: "Who is Dugu Lanyu?"

"What Dugu Lanyu, don't be punished by me casually!" Fang Sheng spat, spitted blood and cursed.

Shao Shuhuan was extremely suspicious. Before he could speak, Gu Shaoshang said lightly: "Mr. Fang, I advise you that it is better to confess according to the truth, otherwise you will be able to bear it."

Fang Sheng was also confused. He had never heard of the girls in the small building and the lonely orchid language...

"I want to see the forty boards first, but she said she wouldn't say it!" Gu Shaoshang said.

Most of the officials who served the two times were his confidants. Hearing this, he had already overthrew Fang Sheng to the ground and raised the big board and beat him hard.

After the forty-four-plate boards, Fang Sheng was paralyzed on the ground as if he was mud. Gu Shaoshang asked again: "Fang Sheng, I will ask you again, who is Dugu Lanyu?"

"No...I don't know..." Fang Sheng stammered. Even if he was a prisoner, they would ask him what he knew, but - what Dugu Lan language?

"It seems that Lord Fang is not ready to confess your crime at all. Come and play with me some elegant things. Yangzhou is full of water. Let our Lord Fang have a good drink today." Gu Shaoshang ordered.

The official officer had already pressed Fang Sheng to the ground, took the funnel and started to pour water into his stomach...

Half an hour passed, Fang Sheng could not even cry out in pain. Shao Shuhuan also saw the endless emergence of Xuan Ji's inner guards' methods of forcing confessions, which was definitely not comparable to those of the few torture instruments in the lobby.

When Gu Shaoshang asked the question just now, Fang Sheng screamed in a hoarse voice: "Master Gu, kill... and kill me... I don't know, Xiaolou... Xiaolou has been... empty all the time because of the silver hidden in it. If you don't believe it, call my family to ask everyone..."

Gu Shaoshang was full of suspicion and couldn't help but look at Shao Shuhuan. Shao Shuhuan also looked at him. Fang Sheng didn't know that there was a stunning beauty locked in the small building? How could this be possible?

"Who else has the key to the small building?" Shao Shuhuan asked. When he discovered the small building, the official sent an officer to report because the small building was locked.

"I have it too!" Fang Sheng said anxiously.

"Where are the family members of the Fang family now?" Shao Shuhuan asked.

"Report to the young master, all the Fang family members were taken down and they were all locked up in prison. Do you want to interrogate them?" The official next to him answered hurriedly.

"Take Fang Sheng down first and bring his wife to ask." Gu Shaoshang looked down and it seemed that Dugu Lanyu had indeed had problems. Such a person could not let her stay with Shao Shuhuan. Shao Shuhuan seemed to have no concerns about beauty, but now he fell in love with that girl.

Fang Sheng was dragged down, and soon, Fang Sheng's legitimate wife Qiu was brought over. Qiu was scattered with her hair, kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Shao Shuhuan looked at Gu Shaoshang and signaled him to ask questions. Gu Shaoshang nodded and asked, "Fang Qiu, did the girl locked in the small building in your back garden come from your family, or did it have another origin?"

"What?" Fang Qiu was stunned for a moment, girl? The small building is where the silver hidden is located. What girl is there?

"Mr. Fang Qiu, I thought you were a woman and couldn't bear to use the punishment. Do you still confess to the truth? Did the girl in the small building come to your family, or did you have another source?" Gu Shaoshang asked.

Fang Qiu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Report to the adults, the little woman really doesn't know what girls are in the small building. If the adults don't believe it, you can ask your grandson..."

Gu Shaoshang was extremely suspicious and looked at Shao Shuhuan, meaning to ask him if he wanted to punish him. Shao Shuhuan shook his head slightly, but his brows became more and more frowning.

"Take Fang Qiu down first!" Gu Shaoshang said.
