Chapter 1845: You’re Talking Nonsense But I Don’t Have Evidence

Dali approached them quickly with a small cloth bag in his hand. "Found it," he said.

Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up. "Where did you find it?"

"There’s a small secret compartment behind the bookcase in the study. I pushed it open and dug it out."

Gu Yundong gave him a thumbs up. "I can’t believe you found such a secret place."

Dali’s mouth twitched. He was a secret guard after all. After being a spy for so long, he had to have this ability to find things.

Usually, these officials with dirty hands would know how to arrange some secret compartments.

During his time in Marquis Pingnan’s marquis family, he had searched almost every secret compartment in Marquis Pingnan’s study. However, Marquis Pingnan did not act according to common sense. He actually did not place any evidence of his crimes by his side, causing Dali to fail his mission.

Shao Qingyuan said, "Since we’ve found it, let’s leave as soon as possible."

"Okay, let’s go." Gu Yundong threw away the stone under the window sill.

The three of them avoided the servants who were patrolling at night and quietly left the backyard of the county office.

Along the way, they lightened their footsteps and quickly returned to the Yang family.

The three of them climbed over the wall and entered Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong’s room. Dali then opened the cloth bag.

Inside were letters and tokens between the county magistrate and Marquis Pingnan.

Gu Yundong opened it and could not help but raise her eyebrows.

The county magistrate wasn’t very influential, so it was obvious from their letters that Marquis Pingnan didn’t value him very much. However, the contents of the letter suddenly became more intimate a few months ago, and it seemed that Marquis Pingnan wanted to recommend the county magistrate to another place.

And these things were enough to prove that County Magistrate Mao and Marquis Pingnan were colluding.

Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief. She tied the cloth bag on the table and stuffed it into Dali’s arms. Then, under Dali’s stunned gaze, she said solemnly, "I’ll leave these things to you. Contact your lord as soon as possible and ask him to send someone to capture this county magistrate. This is all we can help you with."

Dali’s mouth twitched. "You’re not going to do anything about it?"

"We have other things to do."

"What is it?"

Gu Yundong said solemnly and sadly, "We just heard a very serious incident outside the county magistrate’s window. We suspect that the former county magistrate was framed fifteen years ago. We have to find evidence to overturn his case. Dali, you know that this county magistrate is my cousin’s grandfather. My cousin wants to take the imperial examination. These things still affect him."

Gu Yundong was not lying. If the previous county magistrate was beheaded with conclusive evidence, Madam Chang would not have to be afraid of overturning the case.

Even the county magistrate said that nothing could be found after 15 years.

Gu Yundong felt that County Magistrate Ren might not be innocent, but he should not be punished to death.

It would be best if she could find out the truth. If she could not, she could only leave this matter to Yang He. After all, Gu Yundong would not stay in Anyi County for long and did not have much time to investigate what happened more than ten years ago.

At the end of the day, County Magistrate Ren had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to help because they were relatives.

Dali looked at their serious expressions and had a feeling—you’re talking nonsense, but I have no evidence.

He lowered his head and looked at the cloth bag in his hand. After a while, he finally nodded with difficulty. "I understand. I’ll contact His Highness immediately."

Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. Indeed, Dali had a special channel to communicate with Yi Zilan as soon as possible.
