    Zhang Mu felt slightly relieved when he saw the look on the old housekeeper's face.  People are not like vegetation, how can they be ruthless?  This old butler may really be incompetent, but for a loyal man like him, the only flaw is his master.  Although Zhang Mu only met the old lady of the Wen family once, he could conclude that the old lady had a high status in the Wen family, and she probably felt that at this age, it was better for her to die in a foreign land than to return to her roots.  The general manager of Kangda has served the Wen family for three generations. It is impossible to say that he has no feelings for the Wen family.  Zhang Mu smiled and said, "You are a sensible person, please think about it." Kang Da's manager hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you want to know?" "Marquis Ji'an." Zhang Mu said quietly.  The manager of Kangda suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Mu, and said coldly: "My appetite is quite big. However, I also have my conditions." "That's what you say." Zhang Mu said with a smile.  "I want to watch the old lady leave Wenzhou with my own eyes. As soon as the old lady leaves, I will tell you what you want to know." said the manager of Kangda.  Zhang Mu immediately stood up, turned back to Han Fangshan and said, "Go and let the old lady of the Wen family go." Han Fangshan immediately turned around and left. Zhang Mu said, "Wait a minute, allow her to take away a few servants. The road is high and the water is far, so don't leave."  It¡¯s too hard for her.¡± A flash of gratitude flashed through Kang Da¡¯s eyes, but he didn¡¯t mention anything.  Half an hour later, the old lady of the Wen family and her four young maids, escorted by the royal guards, quietly left Wenzhou City in a carriage.  Under the cover of night, the general manager of Kangda stood on the wall of Wenzhou City, looking at the back of the old lady's carriage, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and kowtowed three times towards the old lady's carriage.  Zhang Mu said: "This old lady left just now, none of us have seen it. Do you understand?" Han Fangshan clasped his fists and said: "I understand, you are a humble official." Zhang Mu then turned around and said: "General Manager of Kangda. Now you should  Don't worry." Manager Kang stood up slowly, his white hair fluttering in the breeze, and his rickety body trembled under the dim light.  He looked extremely embarrassed.  He whispered: "Please come with me, sir." At that moment, the group of people followed him towards the Wen family's old house.  Arriving outside the Wen family¡¯s mansion, I looked at the seal attached to the Wen family¡¯s mansion.  The old housekeeper couldn't help but burst into tears when he revisited his old place.  Opening the door, the Wen family¡¯s old house is no longer as prosperous as it once was. The yard is full of messy furniture, and the house is dark and desolate.  The general manager of Kangda has lived here since he was a child.  I am very familiar with every plant and tree here.  He walked slowly, mumbling something unknown.  The group of people arrived outside the Wen family ancestral hall.  The Wen family¡¯s ancestral hall was built in the backyard of the Wen family¡¯s old house. It looks like it has been around for many years.  This pond should have witnessed the rise of the Wen family, and now, inside and outside the ancestral hall.  Things have changed a long time ago.  Butler Kang slowly opened the door, and there was silence inside the ancestral hall.  When he entered the ancestral hall, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground.  If it were normal, he would not be able to enter here based on his status.  A small ancestral hall, where elders and younger ones are distinguished in an orderly manner.  Even if he is the general manager of Kangda, the most he can do is go to the gate and kneel down.  This was the first time in his life that he had entered the ancestral hall, especially when the Wen family was already in such a situation, he couldn't help but burst into tears.  After a while, he waited until he had had enough crying.  He staggered up and entered the ancestral hall shivering.  Zhang Mu and others were waiting outside the ancestral hall and did not go in.  A moment later, a rumble was heard in the ancestral hall.  Han Fangshan's expression suddenly changed and he pushed the door open and entered.  ¡°I only saw that the steward of Kangda had been hanging on the beam above the ancestral hall, and he had committed suicide by hanging from the beam.  Han Fangshan hurriedly rushed forward, ready to let him down, but Zhang Mu grabbed Han Fangshan and said coldly: "Let him go, otherwise the fear that awaits him will be wandering around again, and life will be worse than death. At this age, this is too  This is his destination." After saying that, he bent down and picked up a sandalwood box on the ground.  After opening it, there were several account books lying quietly inside, which were bound very carefully, although there was nothing written on the cover.  However, what is inside records all the accounts of the Wen family over the years.  ¡° Moreover, this is a general ledger, and there should be sub-ledgers below.  Zhang Mu shouted: "Hold the lamp!"?Search carefully.  " At that moment, the lanterns were lit in the ancestral hall. Zhang Mu looked up and saw a big hole in the genealogy of the ancestors of the Wen family. He took the lantern and took a look. There were hidden grids inside. He randomly pulled out a dark grid.  There are thick account books inside. It seems that the old housekeeper has already confessed everything before he died. Otherwise, they may not be able to find such a hidden place even if they die.  Take out these account books and check them carefully.  " Han Fangshan and others suddenly looked excited. They have worked hard for so long and have been waiting for this day. With these account books, how many corrupt officials are still worried about catching? Zhang Mu looked at his subordinates and took out these account books in piles.  , The excitement in my heart was beyond words. Isn¡¯t that what I was busy with these days? Then, they loaded up these account books in three carriages and headed towards Wenzhou.  As soon as he arrived at the gate of the government office, he saw Yan Su coming out with tears in his eyes. Zhang Mu couldn't help being shocked and asked quickly: "What happened?  " Yan Su has a stubborn personality, and Zhang Mu has never seen him so sad. " Yan Sulihua said with rain: "The person who protected you is back, Mr. Zhao, he is gone."  " Zhang Mu and Han Fangshan were immediately shocked. Zhang Mu asked: "How could this happen?  " "Only one of the people who followed the old man escaped alive.  It's being bandaged in the backyard now.  Yan Su said. Zhang Mu immediately took three steps and two steps at a time, and hurriedly ran towards the backyard. When he opened the door, he saw a big man bandaging there, with bloodstains on his body. He had obviously experienced a fierce battle.  When he arrived at Zhang Mu, he knelt on the ground and said, "Mr. Zhao has been righteous.  " Yan Su immediately burst into tears. Yan Su's sword skills were taught by Zhao Feng. For Yan Su, Zhao Feng is his mentor, how can he not be sad? Besides, Zhao Feng is loyal to the Yan family. This  I am afraid that only Yan Su and the others can understand the feelings. Zhang Mu asked: "What happened?  How could those few Caigua kill Mr. Zhao?  Don¡¯t you still have war horses?  The big man said: "It's Kong Ling, that bald donkey. If it weren't for him, who would be our opponent with the few officers and soldiers from Shayuan Station?"  " When Zhang Mu heard the word "Kong Ling", he couldn't help but burst into anger. He immediately banged the table and said angrily: "It's this bald donkey again, it's hard to die."  No matter what I say this time, I won't let you leave Wenzhou alive!"
