After hearing the voice, Zhou Qingyuan raised his head and looked towards the door from under the table. When he saw the wooden box in Feng Jue's hand, his pupils suddenly shrank! How could this box be in the hands of Guard Feng? !
Feng Jue saw Zhou Qingyuan's shock, and he curled his lips in a mocking manner: "General Zhou hid this treasure quite deep, it took a while to dig it out."
Looking at the box in Feng Jue's hand, Zhou Qingyuan swallowed and forced himself to calm down.
"Feng, what does Guard Feng mean by this?"
Zhou Qingyuan pretended to be calm as he stood up from the ground. Regardless of the mud and dust on his body, he looked at Feng Jue at the door across the desk.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that Zhou Qingyuan was still playing dumb, Feng Jue sneered, "General Zhou, I think I don't need to say more about the two businesses of Jinse Tower and the gambling house, right?"
Feng Jue carried the box and walked towards the accounting office, staring straight at Zhou Qingyuan, whose face was a little pale.
"General Zhou claims to be incorruptible and dedicated to serving the people, but secretly he is like a blood-sucking worm, sucking the people's money. How many people have lost their wives and children because of General Zhou? In the middle of the night, has General Zhou ever felt a little guilty about them?"
Facing Feng Jue's questioning, Zhou Qingyuan clenched his hands into fists: "Did Guard Feng have any misunderstanding? I don't understand what Guard Feng is saying."
Seeing that Zhou Qingyuan was still stubborn at this point, Feng Jue slammed the box in his hand heavily on the table and easily opened the locked box in front of Zhou Qingyuan.
A box full of account books was instantly exposed in front of the two of them.
"General Zhou, do you have anything else to say now?"
"Guard Feng, what are these?"
As Zhou Qingyuan was about to reach out to take the box in front of him, Feng Jue got there first.
Feng Jue closed the box with a bang, put his big hands on the box, and looked at Zhou Qingyuan with no warmth in his eyes.
"Come here, Zhou Qingyuan is suspected of murdering four prefects of Jiangnan. Take him away for strict interrogation!"
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards descended from the sky, walked up to him and held Zhou Qingyuan's arms.
"Let me go! Guard Feng, there must be some misunderstanding here!"
Zhou Qingyuan struggled subconsciously, but this time, besides Feng Jue, there were five secret guards following Shen Tingsi, each of them was a peerless master. Even though Zhou Qingyuan had fought on the battlefield for many years, he was no match for the two secret guards.
The two secret guards did not know how to hold back their strength and held Zhou Qingyuan's arm as they walked out the door. Zhou Qingyuan, who had been crying just now because he didn't see the coffin, suddenly panicked.
"Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty! I have something to say to Your Majesty!"
"What are you yelling about? Go and tell the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple if you have anything to say!"
Feng Jue kicked Zhou Qingyuan on the butt without mercy and kicked him out of the door!
Just as Feng Jue and two secret guards were escorting Zhou Qingyuan towards the gate of the general's mansion, the accountant who had rushed back from the gambling house came back.
The accountant knew that Zhou Qingyuan was going to the training ground today, so the first thing he did after returning to the general's mansion was to rush to the accounting office.
There was not a single servant on the road, and the entire general's mansion was eerily quiet.
The accountant's heart sank gradually. He pursed his lips and quickened his pace.
When he turned the corner, he came face to face with Zhou Qingyuan who was being escorted by two secret guards.
The accountant and Zhou Qingyuan stood there with eyes wide open in surprise. After Zhou Qingyuan came to his senses, he glanced at the accountant, who turned around and ran away!
Feng Jue spun around and stood in front of the accountant, with his arms folded across his chest as he watched him become hunchbacked again.
"Tsk, now that you're here, let's go together."
The accountant lowered his head and rolled his eyes, just as he was about to seize the opportunity to escape from Feng Jue's sight. However, as soon as he tried to use his lightness skill, he was grabbed by Feng Jue by the back of the collar.
Feng Jue grabbed the accountant by the back of his collar with one hand and hit his arched back with the other.
"ah--"
The accountant cried out in pain and straightened up instantly.
"Let me go!"
The accountant turned his head with gritted teeth and looked at Feng Jue who was grabbing his collar from behind, and his hoarse voice was filled with a hint of annoyance.
"Let you go? Why, do you want to transfer the silver to that dilapidated temple in the south of the city?"
As soon as the words "Ruined Temple in the South of the City" came out, Zhou Qingyuan and the accountant's hearts instantly fell to the bottom! Zhou Qingyuan stared at Feng Jue in front of him with wide eyes. How could this be possible?
How did Guard Feng know the secret of the ruined temple in the south of the city? ! Since Guard Feng knew it, then His Majesty...
Zhou Qingyuan's back was instantly wet with cold sweat. He originally wanted to defend himself with his eloquent tongue, but now he was completely confused.
Ever since he learned that His Majesty was going to Jiangnan for a secret tour, he had been extremely cautious in his movements, fearing that His Majesty would discover something. How did His Majesty know about Jinse Tower and the gambling house? And how did he know about the ruined temple in the south of the city? !
Could it be that...
A bold idea emerged from Zhou Qingyuan's mind.
Could it be that His Majesty had been targeting him from the beginning, and that going out incognito and understanding the people's sentiments were all excuses? ! Zhou Qingyuan was terrified when he thought about it. He was struggling at first, but suddenly his eyes became dull and he couldn't say a word for a long time! Feng Jue noticed that the accountant had something hidden in his sleeve. He twisted the accountant's wrist twice and then took out the portrait rolled into a cylinder from his sleeve.
When he opened it, he saw that it was his master and Miss Jiang.
Feng Jue's eyes dimmed and he rolled up the portrait again.
Fortunately, the news from Jinse Tower arrived in time, otherwise if these two portraits fell into Zhou Qingyuan's hands, this treacherous villain might have kept some tricks up his sleeve!
When Feng Jue opened the portrait, Zhou Qingyuan took a quick glance and recognized that the person in the portrait was His Majesty. The other person also looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
Thinking of the time the accountant mentioned, and thinking about the fact that he was sent by His Majesty to suppress bandits in southern Fujian during those days, Zhou Qingyuan was almost certain that His Majesty was coming for him! "Take him away!"
Feng Jue waved his hand, and together with the secret guards, he escorted Zhou Qingyuan and the accountant out of the general's mansion.
At that time, the top scholar Li Huaian also came into the city with his soldiers. Under the gaze of the people, they rushed towards the general's mansion and surrounded the general's mansion in the blink of an eye!
The people were shocked and looked at each other, and started talking to the officers and soldiers who were surrounding the general's mansion in front.
"What happened? Why did the soldiers surround the general's mansion?"
"I don't know. What has happened to the General's Mansion?"
Amidst everyone's discussion, Zhou Qingyuan and the accountant were escorted out by Feng Jue and the secret guards.
"General Zhou?!"
When the people saw Zhou Qingyuan, their eyes almost popped out!
"What happened to General Zhou?"
"Did you arrest the wrong person? General Zhou is our hero!"
"General, is there any misunderstanding here? Please say something, General!"
Even now, the people who have been kept in the dark are still speaking in Zhou Qingyuan's favor.
After hearing the voices of the people, Zhou Qingyuan, who was distraught, slowly raised his head, and the moment he raised his head, his pupils suddenly shrank! !
