Chapter 203

All the money beyond the normal price falls into Cao Hui's pocket.

But Xia Jin did not let Cao Hui calculate. While Cao Hui went to the bank, she and Xiao Qi got the evidence of Cao Hui's embezzlement of public property.

In addition, Xia Jin finds the young man in the "jiaweiju" apron she saw outside the inn three days ago when she and you followed Xiao Qi to Cao's house as an entourage.

The man, surnamed Lei Minghua, was a scholar with a high reputation and worked as a teacher in the state Yamen.

Although it is not an official position of rank, it is revenge to follow Xiao Yihuan, such a benevolent and virtuous Zhizhou.

However, a year ago, Xiao Yihuan suddenly changed his temperament, increased taxes, abused torture, and ignored people's life and death.

After many times of persuasion, Cao Hui illegally deprived Xiao Yihuan of his official title and position before he was attacked by Xiao Yihuan, which reduced him to the situation of working as a clerk in a restaurant.

This is undoubtedly a great blow to the literati.

Fortunately, Lei Hua is full of indomitable spirit. The more frustrated he is, the more brave he is. While working as a clerk in the food restaurant, he secretly collects the criminal evidence of Cao Hui, Xiao Yihuan and other state officials.

After entering Lizhou, Xia Jin and her three men traveled all the way to collect many evidences for the officials of Lizhou to embezzle the grain and silver from the imperial government and implement tyranny. In addition, the criminal evidence in the hands of the former master of the state yamen is enough to convict and sentence Cao Hui, Xiao Yihuan and other officials.

……

However, things will not always be smooth sailing, life is full of accidents.

Since last night, there has been heavy snow in Lizhou and its surrounding counties.

Han Chengdong is blocked by heavy snow 50 miles outside Lizhou City, unable to meet Xia Jin.

At this time, it is December, and less than one month is the new year.

At this time, snowfall, it can be said that the auspicious snow augurs a good harvest next year.

But in terms of the situation Xia Jin faced at this time, it was extremely unfavorable.

Today is the fifth day since they met Cao Hui in zuixianlou.

If Cao Hui gets in touch with Shicheng through a carrier pigeon, he will have determined the identity of the young master of the Chen family. It's just a fabrication

Outside the window, the roof in front of the house, treetops and streets are all covered with heavy snow.

In the inn, Xia Jin, dressed in thick clothes, stands in front of the window and looks at the world covered with silver. Her beautiful face is tightly wrinkled and her eyes are full of worries.

First of all, they had to protect themselves, so that they had a chance to expose the crimes of Cao Hui and other officials in Lizhou.

Secondly, at this time, they did not know where you were going and whether they were safe. Did they find the person behind Cao Hui's housekeeper?

Before that, Cao Hui asked where you had gone, but he was fooled by Xiao Qi for a reason.

If Cao Hui knew their identities, he would doubt you's departure.

If they leave this inn, Cao Hui will set up a game here. Once you come back, you will fall into a trap.

If you choose to stay, you are likely to fall into crisis, but if you leave, you may fall into danger

However, even if you fall into the hands of Cao Hui, in order to find out the whereabouts of her and Xiao Qi, and what evidence they have, Cao Hui will not die soon, but suffering is inevitable.

A measure, Xia Jin finally decided that she and Xiaoqi temporarily quit Lizhou City, go to meet with Han Chengdong.

As for the inn, Lei Hua observed it secretly.

Once something happened, he left Lizhou city and headed for Qingquan county to meet them and pass on the news.

With a decision in mind, Xia Jin discusses with Xiao Qiyi and goes to jiaweiju together. At the time of ordering, Xia Jin tells Lei Hua what she thinks, and Lei Hua agrees.

Since xinranju left, Xia Jin and her husband went back to the inn to pack up their burdens and went out of the city.

Not long after, Cao Hui received a report from his subordinates in tongduan mansion. Young master Chen and his maidservant rushed out of the city with a package.

Considering that Xiao Qi once said that most of the bank notes he carried when he went out were from another person who was following him secretly and needed him and you to use them together, Cao Hui only thought that the young master Chen in his heart was going out of the city to get the bank notes.

However, his suspicious character can make him send someone to follow Xiao Qi and ER secretly.

But Cao Hui's men had no ability to compete with Xiao Qi. When he got out of Lizhou City, Xiao Qi killed all these people when he passed through a forest. Then he continued to walk on the thick snow with Xia Jin.

Almost when Xiao Qi was fighting with Cao Hui's followers in the woods.

A middle-aged man covered with snow, holding a gray pigeon in the snow last night, without any signs of life, walked quickly through the main entrance of the prison.

A few days later, this man saw Cao Hui in the backyard where a concubine lived.

He quickly knelt down on one knee and raised his hands above his head. In his hands was the frozen gray carrier pigeon.

"My Lord, I found that the carrier pigeon died outside the city in the snowstorm last night. The hoop on its leg and the wax paper inside the hoop were not lost."

"Present the wax paper."

Cao Huizheng was playing with his charming concubine, but he didn't want to touch anything dead.

"Yes."

The man answered, quickly took out from the hoop the wax paper with the message Cao Hui needed, and then presented it respectfully.

Cao Hui reached for the wax paper and unfolded it. There was only a short line of small words on it, but it made him squint dangerously. His eyes were full of murderous intent.

Lizhou city and its surrounding areas do not have any dignitary family surnamed Chen.

Cao Hui suddenly crumpled the wax paper into a ball. Just as he was about to give an order, a snowy man came in again, just like a snowman.

He strode forward, knelt down on one knee and bowed his head

"My Lord, my subordinates found the imperial envoy team in Ke County seven days ago. Four days later, during a conversation between a female editor in the team and her servant girl, they unexpectedly learned that the imperial envoy was not in the team. As soon as the team left the capital, they led two male subordinates to Lizhou to investigate the situation of Lizhou. The subordinates followed the route and found that the imperial envoy and his subordinates were most likely to have stayed in Qingquan County.... "

After learning the news, they made clear their identity with the magistrate of Qingquan county. From there, they learned that Xia Jin and ren'an Tang had a close relationship.

But the magistrate said that Xia Jin was still in Qingquan county.

They rushed to investigate, but found that the man is fake, after some questioning, that Xia Jin has gone to Lizhou city.

They wanted to take Bai Qingqing, the manager of ren'an hall, who helped Xia Jin get away, back to Lizhou City, which may be useful.

But don't want to be about to succeed, Bai Qingqing was suddenly appeared, with white sand cover white man to save.

After the pursuit failed, he left half of his staff in Qingquan county to continue searching for Bai Qingqing and the man in white.

Others rushed back to Lizhou city with him.

Due to the delay in Qingquan County for several days, the imperial envoy team led by Han Chengdong, after suddenly speeding up, even walked in front of them.
