"A turning point? Is there any turning point?" Sun Xiaoguo's eyes were bloodshot, full of crazy ferocity.

"Marquis Yizhou burned down the government office, and the Shang court could at most issue an edict to reprimand me, but I lost more than two hundred thousand taels of silver, so I will definitely die!" Sun Xiaoguo's eyes were full of despair: "Where is there any chance of survival!"

"Brother-in-law, think about it, with the chaos last night, who has the ability to rob the treasury and take away my brother-in-law's twenty years of accumulation without being noticed? You must know that three thousand soldiers of Yizhou Hou are surrounding the government office.

Even if the third team of government officials didn't notice, they would never be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of Marquis Yizhou!" At this time, Li Ding's eyes showed a spark of wisdom.

Being able to become Sun Xiaoguo's master and his right-hand man is indispensable. He is definitely not relying on simple nepotism.

"You mean...the person who stole the money is Marquis Yizhou?" Sun Xiaoguo's eyes revealed a ferocious murderous intent.

"Yes!" Li Ding sighed.

There was deathly silence in the room. After a while, Sun Xiaoguo said helplessly: "I don't understand why the Lutai masters didn't show up last night. It was supposed to be a foolproof guarantee, but why did all the Lutai masters who were supposed to show up disappear?

."

"With the turmoil in the imperial court and the three princes fighting openly and secretly, there is no time to pay attention to the affairs of Kyushu." Li Ding shook his head: "I can go to Marquis Yizhou on behalf of my brother-in-law."

"What can I do if I just leave? I have offended all the nobles in Yizhou. Yizhou cannot tolerate me. I have lost two hundred thousand taels of silver. Even the Great Shang court cannot tolerate me." Sun Xiaoguo slowly slumped on the chair.

"I will definitely save a chance for my brother-in-law!" Sun Xiaoguo looked firm, then turned around and left, disappearing into the ruins.

Yizhou Hou Mansion

"boom!"

The tea splashed, Yizhou Hou's eyes trembled, his beard flew, and his palm with crisscrossed veins hit the seat hard:

"Asshole!"

"Master Marquis, it was supposed to be foolproof, but who would have thought that Yanzi would be killed like that. Not just Yanzi, I heard that all the officers guarding Kuyin were killed with one knife. The killers were superb and would never use the second weapon.

Er Dao. This person must be the top master in the world, so it’s normal for Yan Zi to be unable to stop him!" Tie Biao knelt down at the feet of Marquis Yizhou, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Who did it? Sun Xiaoguo?" Murderous intent was brewing in Yizhou Hou's eyes.

"No, I'm afraid someone took advantage of the chaos last night and picked our peaches!" Tie Biao whispered: "My subordinates personally went to check the banknotes, and all the institutions were violently broken by people. They are definitely not people from the government."

"Haha, I didn't expect that I, Yizhou, actually have such a master. It's really a good skill. I picked up the advantage and got it on my head!" The tea cup in Yizhouhou's hand turned into powder:

"Check! You must get to the bottom of it for me. No clues can be missed."

"The transportation of two hundred thousand taels of silver will never be hidden from our three thousand soldiers, unless the other party uses the power of the law..." Tie Biao looked hesitant.

"The power of the Dharma Realm..." A cold stern flashed through Yizhou Hou's eyes: "Please give me your permission, King."

Tie Biao stepped back, while Zhou Si gently drank from the teacup: "What do you plan to do next, father?"

"Wait!" Marquis Yizhou looked in the direction of the government office: "Sun Xiaoguo did something wrong, and this is an opportunity for us to take advantage of it. As long as a memorial is sent to Chaoge, I will tell him to walk around without food."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and saw the doorman walking in with a strange look on his face: "Sir, Li Ding from the state government office wants to see you."

"Um?"

Both Yizhouhou and Zhou Si were stunned.

"Li Ding? Why did he come to the Marquis Mansion at this time? Do you think that I will give him a good look?" Yizhou Marquis smiled coldly: "Blast him out and say that I am missing."

"Wait!" Zhou Si quickly stood up and stopped the doorman, then turned to look at Yizhou Hou: "Father, why don't we meet him."

"Huh?" Hou Yizhou was stunned when he heard this.

"I just broke up last night. The always arrogant prefect actually sent the master here. He has a lot of tricks in this!" Zhou Si slowly stood up: "If prefect Sun can change his mind, for me, Yizhou, This is a great joy. After Sun Xiaoguo is gone, there will still be Li Xiaoguo and Wang Xiaoguo. If Sun Xiaoguo can be bribed, the value is unimaginable. Sun Xiaoguo has served the Great Shang court for twenty years and is deeply trusted by the Great Shang court. This person has always acted cautiously. I don’t leave any clues when doing things, and I would never have ended up in this situation unless I was tricked by my father this time.”

Marquis Yizhou was silent when he heard this, and after a long time he said: "Tell him to come in."

Not long after, Li Ding was seen walking into the lobby unhurriedly, looking at Yizhou Hou who was sitting upright and smiling, and Zhou Si who was wearing a veil. Then he took a look at the lobby, then straightened his clothes, lifted up his robe and knelt down. On the ground.

"Greetings to the Marquis!" Li Ding said respectfully.

"Hey, I'm afraid I can't bear such a great gift from Master Li." Yizhouhou sat quietly on the desk. Although he said that he couldn't bear it, he didn't even have the intention to move his body.

"You deserve it! After today, I, the Yizhou Mansion Office, will all surrender to the Yizhou Marquis Mansion. I hope the Marquis will accept it and grant me a way out!" Li Ding's forehead touched the ground, his voice full of humility.

"Oh? Why did you suddenly figure it out?" Marquis Yizhou lowered his head and looked at Li Ding.

"The loss of two hundred thousand taels of tax money from the government office is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. Neither my family nor all the servants in the government office have lived enough. I only ask the Lord Marquis to return the two hundred thousand taels. Baiyin, our Yizhou Mansion will definitely be loyal to the Hou Mansion from top to bottom!" Li Ding said respectfully.

Looking down at Li Ding, Yizhou Hou raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Zhou Si, only to see Zhou Si nod slightly.

"To be honest, the two hundred thousand taels of silver were not taken from my house. How can I give it back to you?" Hou Yizhou asked.

"What?" Li Ding was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Marquis Yizhou in disbelief, with an expression like "You're kidding me."

Three thousand iron guards surrounded the government office, and not a single mosquito could fly out. Who else but you could do this?

"However, since your government office has taken refuge with me, I have filled the 200,000 taels of vacancies. However, I need a certificate of surrender from your master!" Marquis Yizhou smiled softly.

Li Ding was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly showed a "tacit understanding" and "I understand".

Marquis Yizhou took the money, how could he admit it?

"Sir, I understand! I understand what Lord Hou is thinking. I will go back and send a message to my lord, asking him to go to the Hou's Mansion in person to explain it!" Li Ding showed a look of surprise.

Looking at Li Ding's expression of "I've seen through everything", both Zhou Si and Yizhou Hou both felt their hearts move, and for some reason an unpleasant feeling arose in their hearts.

I'm afraid Li Ding has misunderstood something!

"I really didn't take those 200,000 taels of silver! Even the 10,000 taels of gold are missing!" Marquis Yizhou couldn't help but explain.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver, this pot is too dark.

"Ten thousand taels of gold? Lord Marquis actually knows about such a top-secret matter?" Li Ding looked like you're kidding me. You didn't get the silver. How could you know about ten thousand taels of gold?

"That's right! That's right! This money was definitely not taken by the Marquis! It was just borrowed by the Marquis. The money in our government office is the money of the Marquis. We are already a family and we should have nothing to do with each other!

"

"As long as we recover the 200,000 taels of silver and the 10,000 taels of gold, it will be regarded as a filial piety to the Marquis..." Li Ding chuckled, showing an expression of "I understand."

Yizhou Hou:......

Zhou Si…………

You know shit!

This simply gets darker the more you explain it.

Li Ding withdrew, leaving Yizhou Hou and Zhou Si with black lines on their faces.

"This misunderstanding seems a bit big?" Zhou Si couldn't help scratching her head.

It's not just a big misunderstanding.

He simply took all the blame.

"Invite the spies from the Yizhou Hou Mansion to block all the key points and lock all the gates. No suspicious person can be let go!" Yizhou Hou gritted his teeth with hatred.

Prefecture Yamen

Countless officials stood in the ruins and sat there blankly.

"Brother-in-law, everything has been settled. As long as you go to the Marquis Mansion in person and submit the petition, everything will fall into place!" Li Ding came to Magistrate Sun.

"Really?" Sun Xiaoguo suddenly raised his head as if he had been saved.

"You can't do it falsely!" Sun Xiaoguo whispered.

"Take me there quickly! The lives of all the officials in our Yizhou Prefecture depend on the Marquis of Yizhou!" Magistrate Sun suddenly stood up.

"Over at Yunjian Cave, I wonder if we can collect 200,000 taels of silver..." Li Ding said with a slight hesitation:

"If we can scrape together 200,000 taels of silver, we may not have to seek refuge with the Yizhou Marquis Mansion."

"You think too highly of them. If you have two hundred thousand taels of silver, who would be willing to commit suicide?" Sun Xiaoguo shook his head: "Don't say anything anymore, let's go."

Tao's courtyard

Yu Qi put his hands on his back and looked into the distance with his eyes. The sky turned white. The shouting on the street gradually stopped, and he just walked back to the yard.

"What happened outside?" In the yard, Mrs. Tao and Pipa stood under the ginkgo tree, looking at the black smoke rising into the sky.

"The government office was burned down by Marquis Yizhou!" Yu Qi smiled calmly: "We can be regarded as letting out a bad breath."

"Is there such a thing? Marquis Yizhou is indeed strong, domineering and unreasonable!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tao's eyes showed a hint of excitement: "Evil will be rewarded with evil, and evil will be punished by evil."

"During this period, we can rest for the time being. I'm afraid the Master and the Advocate will have no time to pay attention to us!" Yu Qi smiled softly.

"You haven't returned home all night, but you must not leave any hands or feet behind!" Mrs. Tao looked at him worriedly.

"Haha, don't worry, it's not like you've never seen what I'm capable of!" Yu Qiruo looked at Mrs. Tao with a pointed look.

Mrs. Tao's face suddenly turned red, then she suddenly turned around and left, angrily saying: "You are talking nonsense, be careful I tear your mouth to pieces."

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Looking at Mrs. Tao's back, Yu Qi couldn't help laughing.
