Chapter 698 Waiting for him at midnight
After dinner, Yan Funing followed Fu Ciyi back to the house.
The two were walking one behind the other, when suddenly the man stopped.
Yan Funing was walking with her head lowered and almost bumped into him, so she stopped and said, "What's wrong?"
"Do you like children?" he asked.
"I think children are quite fun. Let me tell you, children's hands are really easy to squeeze."
The man held her hand and said, "Your hands are also easy to squeeze."
< br>Yan Funing burst into laughter: "That's different."
"I've observed that girls are indeed more likable than boys." After saying that, the man stepped forward again and pulled her. Walk.
"How do you say it? Listen to the meaning, have you compared it?"
"Your sister and brother-in-law's son, the one named Yuen Long, is very naughty and mischievous. But just now, the Yu family's little baby is very well-behaved and quiet."
"The child is still young, and the two children are not the same age. It can’t be compared.”
“I just want a daughter anyway”
Yan Funing choked and muttered: “If you want a daughter, go ahead and talk to me about it. What?"
The man asked, "You can't understand what I mean after saying so much?" He paused and said directly, "Give me a baby."
"We haven't gotten married yet, is it too early to say this?" She pursed her lips and lowered her voice, "I'm afraid of pain, so I probably don't dare to give birth."
Hearing this, Fu Ciyi's handsome eyebrows frowned.
She has always been afraid of pain.
It is said that giving birth to a child is extremely painful. As a result, his desire to have a daughter may be a fantasy.
With a sigh, he stepped into the courtyard gate first.
Yan Funing lowered her head and followed in.
——
In the evening, the Fu family had an early dinner.
As dusk grew darker, Fu Ciyi, Yan Bojian and six other people set off on horseback.
When they arrived at the county government office, the night was already dark and suitable for investigation.
Since they had a general understanding of the terrain yesterday, they entered Fu Zhengqing's office first.
Open the fire folder, light the candles prepared in advance, and the six people searched quickly.
But the bookshelves, desks and drawers were all rummaged through, mostly books and documents, but Fu Zhengqing’s personal belongings were nowhere to be seen.
Yan Bojian frowned: "It shouldn't be, how come we can't find it?"
Fu Jiang suggested: "Maybe we have to go to the county magistrate's house to look for it?"
"No need." Fu Ciyi said coldly, "The cleaner it is, the more it means there is a problem."
He thought for a moment, then raised his hand: "Let's go to the file room."
"Yes." Several people agreed.
Blow out the candles and remove the candle oil dripping on the ground.
The location of the file room was known last night. The six of them walked around the long corridor and entered the file room by familiar routes.
Lighting the candle again, I saw more than ten shelves neatly arranged in the file room, with countless files displayed on them.
Fu He said: "There are so many, we have to find them in the daytime tomorrow, right?"
Fu Ciyi said: "It doesn't have to be in the daytime tomorrow."
"Then let's How to find it?" Yan Bojian narrowed his eyes.
Fu Ciyi pointed to the dust on the file: "If there is dust, it means that it has not been moved in recent times, so we don't need to look for it."
Yan Bojian answered with a smile: "The ones without dust are either new files, or someone has turned over them from time to time, wonderful!"
So, the six of them held their breath and got closer to look at the dust.
After looking at seven rows of shelves in a row, I don’t know whether it’s because Fu Zhengqing is slacking on government affairs, or because there are not many affairs in Ling County, and most of the files are old and have accumulated thick dust.
Zhen Feng said: "Fu Zhengqing is definitely not a good official. I saw that many cases were left on the ground without being closed."
He didn't even put up any airs.
Zhenshou said: "You'll know just by looking at how thick the gray is."
"The problem is that we haven't found anything even after looking at seven rows. Could it be that it's not inside either?" Fu He frowned.
Fu Ciyi walked inside without saying a word.
At this time, Yan Bojian said: "There is no dust in these two rows. Maybe it is here. Why don't we search carefully here?" Fu Ciyi heard the sound and turned back to Yan Bojian. side.
Seeing that the documents above were basically household registration and taxes, he waved his hand: "No need to look for these two rows anymore."
"Why?" Yan Bojian was puzzled.
Fu Ciyi explained: "Yesterday I was hiding on the beam and heard the conversation between Fu Zhengqing and Lu Wenfeng. The household registration and taxes are now handled by Lu Wenfeng. I don't think Fu Zhengqing will give away his important things. "
Yesterday they hid on the roof beams of various county offices, just to collect information secretly and observe the terrain at the same time.
Where he was hiding, Fu Zhengqing and Lu Wenfeng came over to have a quarrel.
Yan Bojian nodded: "After you said that, I remembered that when someone passed by my beam yesterday, he said that the county magistrate often goes to the filing room."
Fu Ciyi said: " That’s in the file room.”
Then he moved his gaze to the wall.
The five people followed the wall and groped for any protrusions on the wall.
Nothing was found.
Fu Ciyi frowned and looked around.
Fu Zhengqing is a cautious person. If he doesn't hide important documents at home, then he will hide them in the county government office.
As for the people coming and going in the county government, it is actually easy to be discovered.
It can be described as a dangerous place.
Perhaps in Fu Zhengqing's view, the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is.
Compared with the place next to it, the file room here is not accessible to ordinary people in the county government. To a certain extent, it is relatively safe.
So, where will it be hidden?
Suddenly he had an idea, took out the dagger and went to pry the thick partition on the wooden shelf.
Seeing him like this, the five people rushed over one after another.
“This partition is indeed thicker.”
As soon as Yan Bojian finished speaking, Fu Ciyi pried out a thin and flat drawer from the partition.
In the drawer, lying there suddenly turned out to be a will.
Fu Ciyi handed the dagger to Fu Jiang behind him, and he picked up the will and opened it.
It clearly states that the Dongyuan real estate and property will be inherited by Wanniang, mother and son.
Yan Bojian glanced at him and said, "Your family can inherit a lot of property. How come you are kicked out the day after your wedding?" As he spoke, he asked and answered, "I know, Fu Er, Fu Zhengqing and the others want to take over the family property. .”
Fu Ciyi said: "That's true, but in the past I didn't know where my grandfather's will was."
In this way, I couldn't control the second wife.
It’s different now.
As he spoke, he calmly put the will back into its place and closed the small drawer.
Fu Jiang was puzzled when he saw this: "Master, why did you put it back? Since you have found the will, you should keep it."
Fu Ciyi explained in a low voice: "Fu Zhengqing is so cunning. If I take it away, he will argue that I forged the will. Just leave it where it is, and then dig it out in front of all the county officials. What excuse does he have?" ?"
Fu Jiang gave a thumbs up: "Young master!"
"My brother-in-law is smart." Yan Bojian smiled, "These wooden partitions are very thick and the legs are thick. It's also thick, and there must be a mystery inside. Let's search like my brother-in-law, and be careful not to scratch the shelf. "
If there are any scratches, Fu Zhengqing should be careful.
The four of them said yes and took out their daggers one after another.
After searching in the file room, it was already late at night.
After cleaning up the candle oil that accidentally dripped from the shelf on the floor to ensure that no traces were left, the six people left the county government office.
It was already midnight when we returned to Qingshan Town.
After Fu Ciyi washed up, he went to the bedroom and saw Yan Funing leaning on the bedside, dozing off with a script in hand.
Is she waiting for him?
