Chapter 15 Eryu

Mianying glanced at Taihe and finally spoke happily: "Forget it, I am not interested in calculating you now, and I will not mention this to Lord Tai. However, do you recognize the appearance of chasing that person? Although Deyang is not big, there are many outsiders, and it is not easy to find someone."

Taihe couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The followers of Tai Mansion escaped. Those lies were made up. He didn't know the person's appearance at all. He only knew that the master ordered that he must retrieve the important account book, otherwise he would not want to survive. But since Mianying asked, he had to answer vaguely: "It has not been long since that man entered Tai Mansion. He is usually taciturn, so he doesn't have much impression of him, but he will definitely recognize him when he sees it. Besides, he still has stolen stolen goods and will definitely not escape."

Mianying let out a sigh of relief, and her heart finally fell back to its original place. It seemed that as the man said, he was just entrusted by someone and had nothing to do with this matter, otherwise he would not have even had his appearance. In this way, it would not be difficult to hide the truth. At that moment, he readily asked Taeh and the others to follow the officers to search for the man they mentioned, and before leaving, he would take extra care of Taeh and not provoke the Yue family's business.

Taihe easily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead until he left the yamen. Fortunately, he was smart, otherwise the disaster would have been a big deal today. Those ordinary officials could not take those masters' power seriously, but people like Wei Mianying were not afforded by him. If he hadn't seen that he was still humble, he wouldn't have advised him not to touch the Yue family's business. Who is the Yue family? They are royal families in-laws, so how could they afford it? "It's good, it's okay." He murmured to himself, "It seems that I'm still lucky."

A large group of officers and Taihe almost turned the Deyang City upside down, causing chaos. The people in the city were guessing what big things had happened, and the gossip spread like a plague, making Taihe angry. However, they just couldn't figure out what the person they were chasing looked like. This headless fly was the best answer. They had previously taken the man who stole the account book outside Chengdu City, but before they were tortured, the man bit his tongue and committed suicide without any clues. His master only learned from this that a censor was investigating his corruption and abuse of power. He was confused for a while, so he made up his mind and decided to cover the matter at all costs. Now it seems too difficult.

While he was at a loss, Taihe suddenly heard two servants beside him muttering, saying that before they came here, someone was beating drums and making trouble at the yamen. He walked up curiously and asked what happened. After understanding the whole story, he couldn't help but feel a bold idea suddenly emerged. Did Mianying's previous behavior bend? At first, he thought this idea was absurd, but after thinking about it, he felt more and more strange. Fortunately, he had some thoughts and kept the two of them talking to Mianying in the yamen, otherwise he wouldn't know if they were deceived.

When Mianying heard Tae-he and others turn around, she knew that they were suspicious and couldn't help but sneer. Although Tae-he's words were still so respectful, she could still notice his suspicion. If this is not counted, wouldn't my official position in the past few years be in vain? Mianying smiled and said in surprise: "So you are the man who suspected the drum and made trouble? Well, come, bring that person up and let you check it out!"

When Taihe saw the man, his suspicion became more and more intense. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that this person was the person he was looking for on this trip. However, after a few words, he became confused. What he revealed from the man was just an ordinary injustice, and the details were clear. A blackmail defrauded all his money, so he could only go to the yamen to ask the master to be fair before he was left on the street. Although it sounded so concise, Taihe still had a little more thought. He had no choice but to search him all over but couldn't find the account book, so he had to give up.

But since suspicion arose, it is not so easy to dispel, and this man is really suspicious. Taihe thought about it and finally sent a subordinate back to report the news. If it were an ordinary official, he would have ordered the yamen to pick up the yamen at this time, but Mianying, who was sitting upright in the main seat, did not dare to act rashly. He could only ask the master to take action himself. The fact that he was standing alone was very important.

Sure enough, the next night, the governor Tai Qing and the chariot arrived in Deyang in a light car. Although the anxious look on his face could not be concealed, he still exchanged a few words of greetings with Mian Ying, and then went straight to his plan. He first sent away an irrelevant person, and then said to Mian Ying with all his heart: "Mr. Wei, you and I are all people on the same boat. How old are you, I will call you brother."

Mianying gave in modestly, then half-suppressed and called Taiqing the same brother. After a while, the heat of the two men seemed to be close friends. Taiqing knew that the two were in the same direction, so she said without hesitation: "I'm going to tell me that the account book I want to recover this time is not an ordinary thing, there are many shameful things in it. If it is leaked, it will be light to lose the official position. I'm afraid it will be implicated in the big figure in the capital, so I have to ask me to do a little favor." He glanced at Mianying's careful listening look and felt a little relaxed. "According to Taihe, the man was very suspicious. Maybe he hid the things here by using the skill of entering the yamen. If it is convenient, can it be..."

Mianying knew that Tai Hingtong was for this matter. Anyway, he had sent the evidence away and there was no need to leak it. He immediately replied readily: "Since brother said that, Mianying would be pretentious. This county government is just this little place. You can ask them to search it yourself, hoping that it will be what you wish." He knew that Tai Hingtong was most worried about was the second half of the account book, so he secretly glad that he had sent the things away separately.

After receiving Mianying's answer, Taiqingtong was overjoyed. After thanking her, she was no longer polite. A group of confidants also started to check in the yamen. Mianying thought that she had no female relatives inside, so she was perfunctory about Taiqingtong, not caring about the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets coming from inside. The officers in the yamen had been caring for her, and they all stood by and guessed the intention in their hearts. But they could not understand the thoughts of the big guys, so most of them looked at each other but did not dare to speak.

After a while, Taihe walked out dejectedly and shook his head at the master. Taihe looked dark, but he was still unwilling to accept it. It is important to know that this thing is too important, and the consequences of leaking it are far more serious than he said. The first half was enough to make him lose his official position and search the house, but the second half was enough to make him die without a burial place. Thinking of the ruthless methods of the big men in the capital, he couldn't help but shiver. Could it be that Mianying saw the clues and hid them?

He looked at the face of the young man in front of him and quickly gave up the idea. He was just a young man who was just a young man. He was just relying on the power of the Seventh Prince and should not have such courage. "Brother, I want to interrogate that person just now. I wonder if there is any overreach of authority? If possible, please give me some convenience."

Mianying would not refuse, so she immediately ordered a servant to take Taiqing to go over. However, after a cup of tea, Taiqing turned back, her face full of disappointment, but she still asked Mianying about what happened. It was just a matter of details. Mianying was prepared for a long time, so she got nothing between answering the questions, so she had to leave in disappointment.

Three days after Mianying's memorial was delivered, the three censors of the Supervision Bureau arrived in Chengdu, among which were Lian Yuchang, who was known as the Iron-faced one. Although Taisun and the other were still in power at this time, they did not know what the three censors planned to do so, and immediately began to secretly collect evidence of their corruption and abuse of power. Taishen has been in Sichuan for many years, and the old friends of the world are deeply rooted, and it is difficult to verify it, which makes several censors anxious. They all know that the risks are not small. The two families in the court did not get any news at this time, but it is difficult to protect their subsequent actions, so they are extremely cautious in doing things.

Although many officials avoided them in various names, there were still many people who secretly contacted them, most of whom were willing to replace them. However, most officials were still in the temptation stage. After all, Taiheng's backstage was too hard, and if you were not careful, it would be a result of being crushed to pieces. Mianying was still unmoved. At this moment, he had to take care of Feng Wuhen's position. As soon as the memorial arrived in the capital, the emperor's will was probably not far away.

Mianying had always told Feng Wuhen in advance that the memorials that were written by the book before, but this time the things were very unusual. In order to put aside the relationship between the master, he could only write the word "secret" and then submit it directly to the emperor through the study room. He had no idea whether the middle would be opened, and he could only hope to get through it. After all, he was not the kind of minister who had the power to write the secret and straight comments. If Feng Wuhen had to hand the memorials on his behalf, there would be no such concerns. However, Taihen had a close relationship with Xiao Yunchao, and his master Feng Wuhen was Xiao Yunchao's nephew. If the emperor knew that there was still hidden inside, the matter might be even more difficult, so he would rather bear the name of bullying himself.

His memorial finally came to the emperor's attention. The Supreme Book had already sent someone to Sichuan, and Mianying's letter only played a role in fueling the fire. However, the emperor was still more interested in the account book. Such a clear and clear evidence of the crime could arrive in the capital safely and sound, which shows that this person was meticulous. What is commendable is that Mianying did not forget the person who gave the goods and did not take credit for himself. This is what the emperor admired the most.
