Traveling Through Land Reclamation: Farmers' Women Can't Be Dizzled

Chapter 123 Finding Evidence

 Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi were waiting at the entrance of the cave. After a while, Feng Zhi ran excitedly, "There are several rooms under the prince, and the door is locked. There must be something inside." Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi glanced at each other 

  walk down the stairs together. 

  It takes about twenty or thirty steps along the steps before descending to the lowest ground. 

  Gu Yu had turned on the oil lamp in the basement, and the situation inside was clearly visible at a glance. 

  Below is the basement, there are rooms on both sides of the hallway, but the room has a door, and the door is locked with a large copper lock. Without further ado, Jing Yi returned to being a locksmith. Before long the door of a room opened. 

  Xiao Yilin and the others were not disappointed this time, the room was filled with items of gold, silver, jewelry, and antique jade. Given Liu Zhengde's family background, it was impossible to have so many properties, so one could imagine how this happened. 

  Jing Yi opened the doors of the other rooms one by one. There were all kinds of treasures inside as well. Gold and silver alone filled the two rooms. 

  Gu Yu looked at the gold, silver, and jewels in the room and sighed, "They are really greedy. They ransacked Liu and Zhao's house, so they didn't have to worry about the aid funds for the victims." the room was full 

  He gritted his teeth in hatred of the gold, silver, and jewels of his son, and said coldly: "These dogs drink blood and eat the flesh of the common man. Too bad they died." Jing Yi looked at the room filled with 

  the treasure flowers of a boy, some large books and some letters were found in a small box on the shelf. 

  Jing Yi read the contents of the letter and his heart thumped, "Sister Xiao, look, here are some letters." 

  Xiao Yilin immediately walked over when she heard Jing Yi's words, took the letter in Jing Yi's hands and read it. 

  The more he watched, the angrier he was, and the more he watched, the more surprised he became. These letters turned out to be letters between Liu Zhengde and his second brother Kang Wang Xiao Yimao. He read several letters in a row.

  Judging from the contents of his letter, this Liu Zhengde had already taken refuge in King Kang Xiao Yimao. What Liu Zhengde was looking for was not only money in the secret room, but also plenty sent to Xiao Yimao. 

  Xiao Yimao not only asked Liu Zhengde to help him find money, but also asked him to monitor the movements of the Huizhou Mansion and kill Xiao Yilin if the opportunity arose. 

  The hand of Xiao Yilin holding the letter shook slightly. This was how he usually looked as a kind, humble and polite second brother, but this was his real face in person. 

  Xiao Yilin's eyes were a bit red, and she muttered to herself: "I used to be so stupid." 

  Jing Yi understood Xiao Yilin's feelings very well, her brother had someone kill her behind his back, and no one would feel good if he knew about it. 

  But the royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, how many people in the royal family have true feelings. 

  Jing Yi persuaded: "Sister Xiao, don't be too sad. Now that you know some people's true colors, you should go a step further. We captured Liu Zhengde, who was equivalent to killing one of King Kang's minions, so that he would be reduced. It could be considered as paying it back. What are you going to do with these letters?" Xiao Yilin shook her head, "I haven't made up my mind yet. 

  I'm I'm in a mess now." 

  Jing Yi said: "If you don't hand over these letters now, when Liu Zhengde's matter is resolved in the future, it won't be so strong after such a long time. If you don't ' "Don't take it out now, then don't take it out again in the future. But it could be used as a handle to threaten King Kang." 

  Xiao Yilin looked at Jing Yi and said, "I'll consider it." 

  All of the properties seized by the Liu family were packed in large boxes and collected in the courtyard. The main page is almost full of boxes. It could be seen how greedy the Liu family was, and how many people had been looted. 

  Although Liu Zhengde's family background was decent, but the assets were clearly not in line with his status.

  In addition, several ledgers and letters were also found in the secret room, and Liu Zhengde's accusations were firmly established. 

  As long as Zhao Kui had a record of accepting bribes, all the other officials in Jiangzhou Prefecture were arrested. A large number of properties of unknown origin were found in the homes of most officials. 

  Some officials were unable to endure the torture and quickly confessed, and they admitted many things. 

  Every time Xiao Yilin read the statements of those officials, she was furious. Most of the officials in the Jiangzhou government already knew nothing. 

  Zhao Kui had bribed these officials with money for many years, and had achieved the goal of damaging them. The goal was also for these officials to stand in the same boat as him. 

  Some officials began not to accept bribes of money, so Zhao Kui looked for beautiful women everywhere, and then used beautiful women to damage some officials. 

  Zhao Kui investigated the emotions of the various officials in Jiangzhou Prefecture very clearly, and then targeted their weaknesses.There were several ways to escape from Zhao Kui. The main reason was that Zhao Kui was supported by Liu Zhengde, and some officials who refused to accept Zhao Kui's bribes were punished by Liu Zhengde or demoted. 

  Even if these officials did not leave Jiangzhou Prefecture, they were gradually marginalized, and gradually lost real power in Jiangzhou Prefecture. So the entire Jiangzhou Palace was controlled by Liu Zhengde and Zhao Kui. 

  Jiangzhou House had also become a place where they spent their money as domination, and the people in Jiangzhou House had been subjected to raids by Liu Zhengde, Zhao Kui and others. 

  Jiangzhou Prefectural officials also levied additional taxes under various names, and commoners were unable to fight the government and could only pay taxes obediently. All the taxes collected went into the pockets of Liu Zhengde and the others. 

  Xiao Yilin showed no mercy this time, as long as anyone who received bribes was arrested and thrown into prison, after being interrogated one by one, all confessions were signed and taped. 

  Jing Yi did not get along with Xiao Yilin and the others later on, and he had nothing to do when he stayed at the Liu Mansion, so he used Liu Mansion's large kitchen to prepare delicious meals for everyone. By the way, the Liu House has a lot of high-end ingredients, and it would be useless if they did not eat them. 

  Gu Yu and Feng Zhi could not help but smile as they ate the delicious food made by Jing Yi again. Feng Zhi said happily, "Finally, I can eat Dr. food. Chu again. This is what people eat."

  Xiao Yilin was in a bad mood these two days and could not eat anything, so Jing Yi thought of a way to cook delicious food for her. 

  Eating more good food can also help regulate your mood. 

  Xiao Yilin looked at the several dishes on the round table, and the fragrant chicken soup, and then at the little girl who was looking at him expectantly in front of him, Xiao Yilin felt relieved and became much better. 

  Thinking of his own anger, those who had committed crimes did not know of it, even if they knew, they would only laugh at it and never really care about it. Instead, he was worried about the people close to him. 

  To make her happy, the little girl made so much good food and spent so much effort to make her happy, why was she still angry. 

  As the little girl said, anger means punishing yourself with the mistakes of others, it is not worth it.
