In a moment, a black-clothed figure appeared in the room, "What does the master command?"

Zi Yao wrote a note on the case and handed it to the man in black, "Arrange for someone from the jade group to investigate, a young man surnamed Pei, around thirty years old, thin and petite, good at talking, and not high in academic fame, but he is deeply favored by the emperor, and has no family power, you go and check!"

The twenty people of this jade group were personally trained by Zi Yao in half a year, although the internal strength is not as good as a few people in the Mo group, but in terms of martial arts and tracking and exploration, it is definitely not worse than the Mo group, Zi Yao squinted her eyes with satisfaction and gradually fell asleep.

At the time of the palm lamp, the sound of fighting in the courtyard made Zi Yao wake up in her sleep, rubbed her eyes a little worried, got out of bed and walked towards the window, and when she saw the people in the courtyard, Zi Yao was completely sleepy, and shook the bell in her hand, "Stop! Let the prince come up and talk!"

The four black-clothed secret guards disappeared into the courtyard in a flash, Li Zhi walked upstairs with a black face, pushed the door in, and saw that Zi Yao, who was still eating tea peacefully on the couch, was a little depressed, strode over and snatched the tea cup from Zi Yao's hand, the cold air soared, and he raised his head and drank the residual tea in the cup.

Zi Yao was stunned, her face was a little red, isn't this an indirect kiss? When did this ice cube prince learn to act so ambiguously? So the whole person was not good, and he looked at the King of Joy blankly.

Li Zhi looked at Zi Yao, who was flushed, with some sluggish and stunned eyes, and then looked at the tea cup in his hand, slightly embarrassed, his heart soared for a while, he felt that the room was very hot, he walked to the window and opened the window, Zi Yao was a little chilled by the cold wind on the autumn night, put on a cloak, and half leaned on the couch, "What is the matter with the prince coming late at night?"

The lazy voice seemed to be a small hand scratching Li Zhi's heart, which made people unconsciously attracted, and Li Zhi was speechless for a while, "This king~ This king will send you some information, and I don't worry about other people relaying it, so I have to run by myself!"

Zi Yao looked at Li Zhi who swore by him, and sneered in his heart, wanting to see that he had found so many reasons, he had just checked the favorability of King Xiaoyao in the system, which really scared Zi Yao, and it soared to 80% in two days, which is not difficult to explain why King Xiaoyao broke into his backyard at night.

"Lord Wang, please sit down!" Zi Yao turned around and took a tea cup, and personally poured a cup of tea for Li Zhi with her sleeves, her slender fingers pinched the tea cup of Moyu, which was very beautiful, and gently sent it to Li Zhi's eyes, Li Zhi reached out and took it, and touched Zi Yao's hand, Li Zhi suddenly felt that an electric current began to make his whole body numb.

Hurriedly took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment, the hot tea soup flowed into Li Zhi's mouth and was a little hot, making Li Zhi cough for a long time, Zi Yao hurriedly patted his back, Li Zhi's face turned even redder!

After calming down, he took out a worn-out blue book from his sleeve, and by looking at the side tracks, he could conclude that this was something special about the object that allowed the King of Freedom to make a special trip, and how did he know what he was looking for?

Full of doubts, he took the word and flipped through it gently, Zi Yao flipped through them one by one, the more she looked at it, the more shocked she became, this turned out to be an account book, all of which were detailed records of Liu Chengjing's acceptance of bribes, although there were only six years of records, it can also be seen that these are just account books with more than a thousand taels of silver, and those small ones are not counted, so roughly calculated that this Liu Chengjing is so hidden that the people he sent down did not find any clues!

Zi Yao's memory is extremely good, not to mention it, and can also make statistics in time in her mind, Zi Yao found some interesting things, got up and began to draw a mark on the bookcase, Li Zhi grinded Zi Yao very well-eyed, looking at the woman she liked with a focused face, this day's impetuousness and longing have been smoothed out, what are the complaints and unhappiness!

Gradually, the map drawn by Zi Yao has begun to take shape, Li Zhi was directly attracted at a glance, and marveled at Zi Yao's intelligence and amazing brainpower, "You actually remember the counties and official ranks of all the people in these account books?"

Zi Yao raised her neck arrogantly, and Li Zhi squinted her eyes and was amused by Zi Yao's stinky fart.

In an instant, he frowned again, paused the pen in his hand, looked up at Li Zhi and asked, "How does the prince know that I am investigating the corruption case in Liuchengjing?"

The corners of Li Zhi's lips curled slightly, "Your person is easy to recognize, after I found out that someone was chasing the relevant water of the Qingguo Mansion, I found that someone began to collect some evidence of corruption many years ago against Liu Chengjing."

This king said that he would help you, so he will naturally help to the end, my people have already found the recorder of this account book, and now he is exiled to the border of Qiandi, and he will be sent to the capital in a few days, and I will arrange for him to live in the Zhuangzi outside the city, and it will be of great use when the time comes!"

Zi Yao nodded, "I see, then I will thank the prince!"

began to explain while writing: "This account book you gave me is extremely important, and many things I found out here can't be explained now, but now I can connect them."

You see, this is the land of Shu, and the information I have obtained and the evidence I have now can confirm that it is the territory with the most serious tax burden, and now it coincides with the rampant epidemic during the flood, and the people are even more miserable.

Liu Chengjing six years ago when he was supervising the imperial history, he had investigated and dealt with several corrupt officials here, and at that time, Liu Tingshi of Shu privately doubled the land tax to fill his pockets, and Liu Chengjing handled it properly and also got the title of Jin in the court. ”

Zi Yao pointed her finger at the location of Shu on the map, frowned and continued: "After finding out, in order to please this Lord who supervised the imperial history, the surrounding counties exchanged all the unallocated fifty percent of the tax silver that had not been allocated to Liu Tingshi into silver tickets and sent them to the carriage of Liu Chengjing.

Since then, Liuchengjing has sent people over every year to supervise the collection of taxes and silver in various counties and counties, and there will be resistance under heavy taxes, so there are frequent riots here, and the officials have to rebel against the people!"

Li Zhi clenched his fists and listened to what Zi Yao said, although he had heard it for a long time, he was not so detailed, and he was still surprised by such a shocking figure, thinking that the tax burden of the Southern Tang Kingdom was not high.

Land tax: 2 liters per mu for dry land and 3 liters per mu for paddy fields, and the tax burden can be exempted during natural disasters.

Household tax: It is divided into nine classes according to the property of each household, and the tax is levied according to different grades. The lower households receive 500 Wen, the lower middle households receive 1,000 Wen, and the upper households receive 4,000 Wen.

According to the number of people and acres of cultivated land, the annual income is not less than 8 million taels of silver, and there are 48 million taels of silver in six years, which is just a small territory!

Looking at the boundaries of the Tang Kingdom in the whole south, there are many local states, counties, and counties that Liuchengjing can intervene in, because since he was promoted to the head of the household department six years ago, the bribe silver taels recorded in the account book he handed over to Ziyao are no less than 50 million taels, so calculated, this Liucheng Jing is rich and rivals the country!
