Bai Shier looked at Hu Xiaolin in front of him, his face full of dissatisfaction.

He worked hard for the middle of the night and finally had the opportunity to make up for the sleep. As a result, when he was sleeping comfortably, he was called out by this disappointed guy. If anyone else was afraid he wouldn't feel good.

"What's up?"

"Aren't you the one you said to listen to the story later?" Hu Xiaolin looked innocent.

"Did you only hear the words "listen to the story?"

Bai Shier really wants to kill someone now.

"Didn't you hear these four words tomorrow morning?"

"But it's already morning." Hu Xiaolin turned a blind eye to his murderous gaze, but continued with a serious look on his face.

"Ahhhh!"

Bai Shier screamed a little manic. He got up and mixed with the anger that was gagged by Hu Xiaolin with his own words, which made him feel a little manic at this time.

If Hu Xiaolin could write another classic saying from later generations at this time: "You don't need to sleep much before you die, you should sleep forever after you die." I'm afraid Bai Shier will really go crazy on the spot.

Fortunately, his purpose of waking Bai Shier was not just to get Bai Shier crazy.

After venting the depression in his heart for a while, Bai Shier finally calmed down and got out of bed like a walking corpse. He walked to the table and poured himself a cup of herbal tea. After pouring it into his stomach to relieve his fever, he still spit out two words with annoyance on his face.

"Tell me."

Hu Xiaolin knew that he didn't talk nonsense anymore. He said everything that Lu Qingping said last night without missing a word, without even changing it.

Although he was just a commander-in-chief of the government army who protected the security of the palace, if he was in the Great Inner, if he didn't have some real skills, it would be so easy to survive.

"Ha, is it collusion between officials and businessmen?"

After listening to the Bai Shier that Hu Xiaolin told him quietly, he just sneered, and the expression on his face did not change much. He was like this kind of thing, who was in the palace, and only heard the official family members who were bragging and fucking with his colleagues several times. You should know more clearly, because he had seen this kind of thing countless times with his own eyes.

The wealth of merchants and the rank of officials may not be so high, but the filth in them has always been the same, just like crows and coal piles, which may be of different sizes, but they are all the same black.

"What do you think the Lu family was destroyed because of the reason?"

Hu Xiaolin didn't come to listen to Bai Shier's ridicule. He was more concerned about whether Bai Shier could find any clues from these words.

"What's the hard thing about this kind of thing?"

Bai Shier curled his lips and looked down on Hu Xiaolin's question.

"Just check what major events happened in Yangzhou Prefecture before Lu Yiming's death, we will definitely find clues."

Seeing Hu Xiaolin frowning slightly and falling into deep thought, Bai Shier felt that he, who came out of the palace, was just a military officer responsible for the guards, should not keep it in hiding. He had to deal with rough people in one step, straight up and down, and could not go around with them.

Otherwise, with their heads, they didn't know which horn they would go around to in the end, wasting time and things were small. If they disturbed those people, that would be a big trouble.

But he himself did not think about how Yao Shun, who had always been cautious and those more cautious salt merchants could not be disturbed by the performance he had done last night.

"Don't think about asking the people in the government,"

Unconsciously, Bai Shier began to give advice to Hu Xiaolin according to his own ideas.

"Since the Lu family was destroyed three years ago, the people in the government are either already in a mess. Even if they are not completely unhappy, they may not dare to talk too much now."

"I didn't say I wanted to ask those officials."

Hu Xiaolin browed lightly, smiled and shook his head. It was obvious that he was a little proud of his mistake in his opinion.

"Tsk." But his expression and movements were exchanged for Bai Shier's deep contempt.

"Do you think that those who can be the fourth-rank prefect will be stupid enough to leave a documentary document to investigate someone like you?"

"How to check?"

After Hu Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, his brows frowned again, and his face was even more bitter. Obviously, after being broken by Bai Shi Er, he also understood the reason.

"It was just three years ago, not thirty years ago. No matter how forgetful the people in the entire Yangzhou Prefecture City were, they wouldn't have forgotten them all in just three years, right?"

"Is this really OK?"

Although most of the imperial officials only regarded it as the guard of the palace, Hu Xiaolin himself still fully recognized his identity as an official family member. Therefore, like most officials, he did not trust the "troubled people" they said.

"If you think it's not possible, then you can find a way out yourself."

Bai Shier was not angry either, stood up, shrugged, and said with an indifferent look on his face.

"Now, I have finished listening to the story, and I have thought about the solution for you. Whether you need it or not is up to you, you can leave."

Bai Shier stretched, walked to the bed, and kicked off the cloth shoes under his feet.

"I'm going to have a sleep, remember to help me close the door."

...

Hu Xiaolin finally chose Bai Shier's method.

Because after thinking about it, this seems to be the only way at present.

As a mansion and backed by the Golden Waterway Canal, Yangzhou Mansion is very prosperous, and its prosperity is largely linked to many people.

After all, if there is not enough population, no matter how large the city covers an area, it is just a depressed ghost city, and it cannot be called prosperous at all.

The large number of people also gave Hu Xiaolin and others enough convenience to inquire about the major and strange things that happened in Yangzhou Prefecture three years ago.

In the early morning, Hu Xiaolin dispersed his men. When it was dark, they brought Hu Xiaolin a lot of big, strange and strange things.

After excluding the case of the Lu family's family extermination, such as the Lantern Festival Flower Court election, the fifty-year-old woman with a bead, and gave birth to a pair of twins, Hu Xiaolin found the most likely thing to be related to the Lu family's family extermination from these complicated major, strange and strange things.

Three years ago, the fleet transporting Guanyan to the north lost ten canals in the canal in Yangzhou Prefecture, a total of 5,000 stones of Guanyan were lost.

Although the reason given by the Yangzhou prefect was a sudden encounter with a strong wind, it has been circulated secretly among the people that it was the Yangzhou prefect who colluded with local salt merchants to eat the five thousand stones of official salt into their own stomach.

Hu Xiaolin sent his subordinates to the dock to inquire about the news, and even heard from many old boatmen that they had seen these ten magistrates that had sunk and had been salvaged and repaired. There was no trace of sunk or damaged at all.

Hu Xiaolin, who had a premonition in his heart, immediately ordered his subordinates to inquire about the time when this incident happened.

Sure enough, this happened half a month before the Lu family was destroyed!

"That's what happened!"
