Because of their background, they were all loyal to Chu Zhaoci.

With the help of secret guards, it will be much easier to rescue Xie Qingbai.

But there can't be a head-on conflict either.

And we can't act rashly before we find out how many of them there are.

There is another question.

Ling An said, "We saw many secret rooms in the city and passages leading outside the city. They should be the work of those people."

Speaking of this, Chu Zhaoci suddenly remembered the account book in his hand.

He opened the account book and looked at it.

They are two ledgers, but they record the same things.

However, after comparison, Chu Zhaoci found out that the account book that he found first was a fake one, and the one after that was the real account book.

The contents of the ledger are indeed about military pay.

However, it only records the amount of military pay secretly hidden by the prefect of Heshui County.

The last part says to give out 10,000 taels of silver.

This should not have been kept secretly by him, but he did not explain clearly to whom did he give these 10,000 taels of silver?

Chu Zhaoci wanted to look through it again...

Perhaps there are still some clues to be found. Shao Jingheng suddenly discovered something and hurriedly called to stop his hand from turning the page.

"etc."

As he spoke, he took the account book from Chu Zhaoci's hand and looked carefully at the last 10,000 taels.
