    However, it was not until the sun set that Xu Ba came back to report that Zheng Kuan was called into the custody room by Lin Run, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

    "They must be checking the accounts. Tomorrow they will issue royal flags to arrest people!" Xu Ying's face was swollen like a pig's head, and she said with fear: "Let's run quickly, brother."

    "Run, where are you going?" Xu Fan had already calmed down and snorted coldly: "How loyal do you really think your tens of thousands of slaves are? That's why they think our family can withstand it, so they go against the governor.  .¡±

    "As he spoke, he spat sarcastically: "If the court accuses you of treason, they can immediately kidnap our whole family and hand it over to Lin Run to take credit, believe it or not?"

    "Then brother" Xu Ying said dumbfounded: "What should we do?"

    "Xu Ba, make arrangements, I want to go into the city. I have to see Zheng Yuanshao tonight no matter what!" Xu Fan ordered in a deep voice, picked up the big hat on the shelf, gritted his teeth and said to Xu Ying:

    "If I can't handle it after tonight, I will have no choice but to end the relationship out of justice!"

    "Alas" Xu Ying responded with a sad face.

    ??~~

    The governor travels to the palace and crosses the courtyard to the east.

    Zheng Yuanshao almost peed his pants when he heard that they actually came here to look for him.

    He quickly ordered the elder to watch at the entrance of the courtyard, and entered the courtyard with his head buzzing.  Then I saw Xu Ba and a Xu family servant guarding the hall door.

    The two of them didn't speak, and just opened the door.

    Zheng Yuanshao walked in with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and sure enough he saw two brothers, Xu Fan and Xu Ying, waiting inside.

    "Why are you here? What should I do if Zhong Cheng finds out?!" He closed the door behind his back and asked in shock and anger.

    "Can't Zheng Kuan have guests? We are here to visit the fellow countrymen who are observing. Isn't this reasonable?" Xu Fan pointed at a famous thorn on the table and said:

    "As for why this person was not found afterward? There should be no shortage of scammers who try to pretend to be fellow villagers to gain the trust of observers, right?"

    "If anything happens, tell me quickly!" Zheng Yuanshao glanced at Xu Ying, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, and said to himself that he really didn't recognize her.

    Xu Fan stared at Zheng Yuanshao and asked in a deep voice, "Did you and Lin Run find anything?"

    "Alas" Zheng Yuanshao sighed and said, "Is there anyone else who can't be found? We first found an account book named 'Luonan', and then followed the clues and found the head of a person named Xu Liu."

    "It's over, it's over" Xu Ying was scared out of her wits, and her swollen face was filled with a look of defeat.

    "Who is the naked man?" Xu Fan asked, frowning.

    "Ronan is Kazuo Umekawa, and Kazuo Umekawa is Ronan." Xu Ying said in despair: "I transferred the 50,000 taels of silver to him, Xu Liu just passed it by"

    "No, I remember it clearly in the account book, it's only 20,000 taels." Zheng Yuanshao said with certainty.

    "Fuck!" Xu Ying was immediately furious.  "A dog slave dares to hack my money! And he's 60% black. Has his conscience been eaten by a dog?"

    "Okay! Who do you blame for being blind? Now is the time to talk about this!" Xu Fan glared at Xu Ying and said, "What else can be found from the account?!"

    "In the past, when merchants paid for goods, they would first go to Xu Liu's account and then transfer it to my account." Xu Ying panicked and said, "I can't find anything after checking."

    "Now you know you are afraid?" Xu Fan sneered and asked Zheng Yuanshao: "Where are those account books now?"

    "Lin Zhongcheng took Xu Liu's copy." Zheng Yuanshao replied in a low voice: "The others are locked in the signing room."

    "All the account books must be destroyed tonight!" Xu Fan suddenly thought and said resolutely: "Burn them all, let me see how he can check them!"

    "It's simply impossible." Zheng Yuanshao shook his head and said, "Even if we can burn the account book of the contracted house, what will happen to the one in Zhongcheng's hand?"

    "You have to do it even if you can't do it!" Xu Fan gritted his teeth and said: "Life or death is at stake, we can only give it a try!"

    After saying that, he gave a low drink and called the slave other than Xu Ba into the room.

    The slave has a strong build and slightly bulging temples. He looks like a Lianjiazi.

    "Are you ready?" Xu Fan asked coldly.

    "Ready." The servant nodded and took out a tin wine flask from his arms.

    Xu Fan signaled him to pass the wine bottle to Zheng Yuanshao's hand.

    "No, no, absolutely no!" Zheng Yuanshao's face changed drastically, and he waved his hands in shock:

    "Conspiracy to kill a feudal official is a serious crime equivalent to conspiracy, and it will kill the Yi tribe!"

    "Who dares to murder Governor Yingtian? Our Xu family doesn't have the guts either." Xu Fan couldn't help laughing., holding the wine flask in his hand and said: "This wine will only make people have a good sleep, and they will not wake up no matter how much they shout."

    Speaking of him, he showed Zheng Yuanshao: "When you pour him wine, you have to press the lid tightly. Don't press it yourself, otherwise you are drunk, who will find me?"

    "That's it" Zheng Yuanshao was half relieved when he heard that he just wanted to get Lin Run drunk.  But as soon as he took the wine bottle, he turned pale and asked, "But what should I do if Zhongcheng wakes up tomorrow and finds that the account book is missing?"

    "It's urgent. He can't care about so much. He can go wherever he wants." Xu Fan said sternly:

    "I will burn the account book tonight, and I will have a showdown with him tomorrow. If he is still prepared to fight to the end, I have to ask the old man to write a letter to some husbands, crying about the experience of being bullied by the white-eyed wolf!"

    With that said, he patted Zheng Yuanshao hard on the shoulder and shouted: "If you don't get it done tonight, your reputation will be ruined! It's done, you can take over Lin Run's class! You can figure it out yourself!"

    ??~~

    The governor slept in his camp.

    Lin Run¡¯s bedroom is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The inner room is the bedroom, and the outer room is arranged as a study.

    At this time, there was a lamp hanging on the beam and a lamp sitting on the desk, illuminating the study room.

    Lin Run was sitting behind Huanghuali's desk, carefully flipping through the account book in his hand.

    Suddenly I heard the report from the foreign minister: "Zhongcheng, Zheng Kuan is here."

    "Oh?" Lin Run raised his head strangely and said, "Invite him in."

    After a while, Zheng Yuanshao walked in with his long entourage, and the latter also carried a food box in his hand.

    Lin Run put the account book in his hand into the desk drawer and asked with a smile: "Brother Shanfu, isn't he dizzy and falling asleep?"

    "Hey, the more dizzy I am, the more I can't sleep. I can only get drunk and take a look." Zheng Yuanshao sighed helplessly and asked Chang Sui to put the food box on the coffee table next to the desk.

    "But drinking wine alone will be bitter. I thought that Zhongcheng was also a person, so I came to drink with Zhongcheng."

    "Haha, it's a good idea to have a drink during the long night." Lin Run stood up happily and sat down a few seats away.

    The chief casually placed a few plates of side dishes, a pot of wine, and two pairs of chopsticks on the table, then bowed and left with the food box in hand.

    Zheng Yuanshao took the pot and poured a glass for Lin Run and himself. He raised his glass and toasted: "Zhongcheng, you have worked so hard. I will give you a glass first."

    "Both each other." Lin Run raised his wine glass, clinked it with Zheng Yuanshao, and drank it all in one gulp.

    The two of them were in the study, pushing cups and changing cups over side dishes.
