Although they did not confront the Zou County Prime Minister Ming Ming, they were considered enemies of the Zou family because of the Lu family.

Since she is an enemy, she must hold the control of the Zou family in her hands, otherwise she will not be able to sleep well.

And the Hong family is Mrs. Zou’s natal family, so we need to check it out. Da Chu pays attention to sitting together. If the Hong family commits a major crime, the Zou family will also be dragged down.

In short, she now wants the Zou family’s handle!

Qin Sanlang whispered back: "Zou County Cheng is very cunning. He didn't leave many clues. I only found one that was rather strange. It was an old servant beside him named Zou Jiang. What happened to Zou Jiang that year? A catastrophe, and that catastrophe seems to have something to do with Zou Xiancheng."

During the time that Qin Sanlang was in the military station, he would sneak out every night to investigate the affairs of the Zou family.

Gu Jinli's eyes lit up when he heard this. After asking about Zou Jiang in detail, he smiled and said, "I heard that there is a certain number of scholars who will be selected for each academy examination. The Prime Minister of Zou County must think that Zou Jiang is knowledgeable and is afraid that he will compete with him. quota, then we took action against Zou Jiang.”

Qin Sanlang also felt that this was a possibility: "But whether the catastrophe of the Zou Jiang family was caused by Zou County Cheng still needs to be investigated further. There must be evidence for this matter."

Without evidence, they can't bring down Zou Xiancheng.

Gu Jinli nodded and asked about the Lu family again: "Where are Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu? These two people have been making money in the county all year round. It is impossible that they have not done evil things."

Qin Sanlang said: "We found out some cases of endless selfishness, but these things are not big enough to bring down the Lu family and the Zou family at once."

Xiaoyu said that what she wanted to investigate was a serious evil that could destroy the entire Lu family and Zou family.

Gu Jinli frowned when he heard this, thinking of Zou Jiang, and said: "You can check the capable servants around the Lu family, and the servants around Aunt Lu. Sometimes, the owner does not do anything bad, but the servants around him spoil the dishes. .”

Qin Sanlang nodded and told her about the Hong family: "No one from the Hong family has been an official since Mrs. Zou's eldest brother became an official. However, Mrs. Zou has three scholar nephews, and her natal family has another family in Deyuan County, Yonghua Prefecture, Jiangnan. With hundreds of acres of fertile land, we can be considered a home for farming and studying, and our life is pretty good."

The reason why Prime Minister Zou County married Mrs. Zou was because Mrs. Zou's brother had served as a county magistrate in Tianfu County. It was through Mrs. Zou's brother that Prime Minister Zou County got his start. Because he relied on his wife to make his fortune, Zou County Cheng never divorced Mrs. Zou no matter how romantic he was.

"As for whether the Hong family has done anything that violates criminal laws, we still have to check it out. It's not easy to find out the results." If he were in the northwest or the capital, he would definitely be able to quickly find out whether the Hong family had done anything wrong. Now But it is somewhat difficult.

Gu Jinli said: "The Hong family is far away, so it will be difficult to investigate. Let's investigate the Zou family first. Isn't there something suspicious about Zou Jiang's suffering back then? Let's investigate him."

If they could find out what Zou County Cheng had done that violated the criminal law, they wouldn't have to go to the Hong family to investigate.

"Well, I will speed up the investigation of the Zou family." Qin Sanlang was afraid that Gu Jinli would do it himself, so he added: "You can make money at home with peace of mind. Leave the investigation of the three families to me to prevent you from being in danger."

Although she is smart, she is not as skilled as him, and she is a girl. If something happens to her, it will be terrible. He does not dare to let her do anything too dangerous.

Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, don't worry, I am very afraid of death. I will do what I can and will not go behind your back to seek death."

After hearing this, Qin Sanlang felt relieved and smiled at her.

Gu Jinli looked at the dimple on his face and felt a little itchy, so he reached out to poke it.

Qin Sanlang was startled and leaned back instinctively: "What's wrong?"

Why poke him in the face?

Gu Jinli moved his fingers, then retracted his hand and asked, "By the way, when is your birthday?"

She only knew it was the Great Heat, but the Great Heat was different every year.

Qin Sanlang said: "It's June 15th. Why do you ask?"

Gu Jinli looked up at him and said with a smile, "I'm preparing a birthday gift for you."

When she celebrated her birthday, he gave her a big gift. She had to show her appreciation for his birthday.

Qin Sanlang was very happy when he heard this. Xiaoyu actually wanted to prepare a birthday gift for him, and asked curiously: "What birthday gift are you going to prepare for me? If it is too expensive, forget it. It costs money."

Gu Jinli looked at him: "Do you think I'm poor? Can't afford a lot of money?"

Qin Sanlang: "...I'm afraid you will spend too much money on me."

She recently spent a lot of money buying land, paying off Xuanhufang's debt, and building a house, so he felt...she was quite poor, but if he told the truth, she would definitely be angry.

Gu Jinli raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I still have money for a dozen eggs."

Qin Sanlang felt relieved, as long as it was not a too expensive gift, it would be okay for him to accept it.

Gu Jinli added: "However, it's a bit laborious to make that thing, so you have to help."

"Okay, just tell me what you want to do and how to do it then." Qin Sanlang is very strong and doesn't mind expending effort.

But he didn't know that he had been tricked by Gu Jinli. On the day of his birthday, he beat egg whites for more than an hour. His wrists were as sore as when he first drew a bow when he was five years old.

Seeing that he agreed, Gu Jinli smiled with satisfaction: "Then it's settled."

After saying that, he waved to him and carried the load into the house.

Qin Sanlang also turned around and went home.

In the Qin family hall, Qin Erlang was unloading sandbags. When he saw him coming back, he snorted coldly and reminded him: "Don't think that the military department is a ruined temple. If you run out every night, you will be discovered one day."

Qin Sanlang said: "Second brother, don't worry, I have my own sense of control and will not be discovered."

He had learned the scouting skills since he was a child. If he could still be discovered after so many years of learning when he sneaked out to check on the Zou family at night, his skills would have been in vain.

Seeing that he didn't listen, Qin Erlang was a little annoyed: "One day you will be killed by that country girl."

Qin Sanlang frowned slightly and reminded Qin Erlang: "It was us who killed them first."

and……

"Second brother has done a lot of things secretly." Qin Sanlang knew that Qin Erlang secretly went to see A Ji more than once, and the things he did were much more serious than him.

Qin Erlang's face turned cold. After Qin Sanlang took advantage of him, he did not dare to speak anymore. After taking off the sandbag, he went to the kitchen to boil water and wash up.

This poor place in the countryside was full of dust. Qin Erlang was really fed up.

The Qin brothers didn't stay long when they came back this time, and Shen Shizhong left in the afternoon.

Before leaving, the third grandmother and Gu Jinli brought two baskets of braised meat and three roast ducks to Qin Sanlang and asked them to take them to the commander's office for his colleagues to eat.

Qin Sanlang did not refuse, accepted it with a smile, and ran to the military station with Qin Erlang.

After seeing off the Qin brothers, Gu Jinli and the others took their account books and money to the workshop to pay He Laoguo and the others.

He Laoguo and the others had finished their work and were squatting in the yard of the workshop, waiting nervously and uneasily.

Seeing Gu Jinli and the others coming, he immediately stood up, smiled honestly at Gu Jinli and the others and said, "Dong, Dong family, Xiao Dong family, you are here."
