In Ning'an County, at the gate of the city, more than a dozen people lined up, carrying burdens, ready to enter the city.

A cloud of dust rose in the distance, and then dozens of horsemen appeared at the gates.

Xu Shu took a group of students and rode horses to Ning'an County.

Some of the students were still taking classes at the academy, and this time they were called in to help, which was also their internship.

Some students have graduated and are now also working as officials in Yecheng.

The officialdom of Ning'an County is going to change the water this time.

These people brought by Xu Shu, in addition to helping to verify this time, some of them will stay in Ning'an County to serve.

Zhao Hui has already left.

The rest of Ning'an County will be handed over to Xu Shu to deal with.

Huang Yuan and others have already been imprisoned, as long as they find out according to the existing account books, Huang Yuan has embezzled and accepted bribes over the years.

Huang Yuan is in Ning'an County and has served as a county magistrate for more than 20 years.

It is very difficult to do a complete inventory.

It's remarkable to be able to find out the last five years.

No matter how old it is, many of the books are gone.

Moreover, in Ning'an County, in the past 20 years, although the county order Huang Yuan has not changed, the county lieutenant of the following counties, as well as officials of all sizes, have changed.

Many have died, and some have disappeared.

But even so, the evidence of the past five years alone is enough to cut Huang Yuan's head more than a dozen times.

In Ning'an County, the doors of countless officials were broken down, and then a group of soldiers broke in and carried out boxes of money.

Although Zhao Hui left, the excitement in Ning'an County continued.

Every time an official's door was broken down, there would be a crowd of people cheering outside.

Then a group of people counted several boxes.

It's all money stolen from them.

And then this official was imprisoned, which was very happy.

Some people even speculate on who will be the next to be raided.

Whether it is the county Cheng Baowu, or the chief bookkeeper Huang Xing, as well as the county lieutenant and others, the family has found far more money than they can do.

None of them who have been robbed of their homes have been wronged.

Every time Xu Shu found one, he sent someone to quarrel and put him in prison.

More than 20 officials' homes have been raided.

And the county order Huang Yuan is no exception.

But what puzzled Xu Shu was that a huge amount of money was found from the homes of other officials.

But at Huang Yuan's home, he didn't receive much.

Just looking at the 30,000 yuan found in Huang Yuan's home, it is a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

But Huang Yuan is a county order, if there is only 30,000 yuan in the family, Huang Yuan can be said to be a big clean official.

A county magistrate has only 30,000 yuan in the family, which is lower than the vast majority of county magistrates.

With this figure, no one will say that Huang Yuan is a corrupt official.

The officials who are now in prison, Huang Xing, Baowu and others, have all confessed.

But Huang Yuan is still crying out for injustice.

He did not admit that he had embezzled.

All the money is embezzled by the people below, and he, the county magistrate, is also blinded.

The corruption in Ning'an County has nothing to do with him.

But he is a county magistrate, and he is not a newcomer, but he has served as a county magistrate in Ning'an for 20 years, if he is still deceived by the people below, how can he be a county magistrate for 20 years.

Even if he didn't find a lot of money in Huang Yuan's home, Xu Shu didn't believe that he had been wronged.

The money that Huang Yuan embezzled may have been converted into gold jewelry that was easy to collect.

Even the money searched by Liu Yingjie's family is 100,000 yuan, and it needs to be pulled by three ox carts.

According to the calculation of the amount embezzled by a small official, Xu Shu estimated that Huang Yuan had embezzled at least more than 10 million dollars in the twenty years he had been in Ning'an.

Even if Huang Yuan was a person who was greedy for pleasure, it was impossible to spend so much money.

Moreover, Huang Yuan, whom Xu Shu learned, was not a person who liked pleasure, on the contrary, he was very simple, and he had only one wife in the family, and there were no three wives and four concubines.

There are not many maids, and the utensils at home are also very ordinary, and there are not many high-value jade and gold objects.

Before this incident, Huang Yuan's reputation in officialdom was still very good.

No one thought that he would be so deeply disguised, controlling Ning'an County, and looting countless people's fat and ointment.

Now those low-level officials have already found more than one million copper coins from their homes.

This is just a small Ning'an County, and they are just small officials and officials with the size of seeds and mung beans.

But where is Huang Yuan's money hidden?

Even if it is exchanged for gold, it is estimated that there are several boxes.

Xu Shu personally searched Huang Yuan's mansion and found two in the secret room, but he never saw Huang Yuan's greedy money.

If you can't find the money, it means that there is no evidence of Huang Yuan's crime, and if there is no criminal evidence, Huang Yuan's crime cannot be convicted, and he can keep shouting injustice.

"Huang Yuan, where are all the money you embezzled?"

Xu Shu asked Huang Yuan to be taken out of the prison.

"I was wronged, I didn't embezzle." Huang Yuan died and pleaded not guilty.

After the first panic and fear, Huang Yuan was no longer afraid.

After so many days, and there is no trial from him, they must have been unable to produce evidence of their guilt.

Although it is strange why he was not tortured and why he had to be incriminated, but since this is the case, Huang Yuan naturally will not admit that he was corrupt, anyway, he has already spent the money, and he never keeps accounts, so he doesn't have to worry about being found in the account book.

"Huang Yuan, do you want to taste the punishment of this official?" Xu Shu shouted.

Huang Yuan's heart suddenly struck, but he quickly calmed down.

"If you want to use torture, you will come, I still say the same thing, I, Huang Yuan, have never embezzled a copper coin."

He said it with a righteous spirit, and with his national character face, it really seemed like that.

But how could Xu Shu be confused by Huang Yuan.

However, he knew that Zhao Hui didn't want to use punishment in this interrogation, and he just said that he would not really use punishment on Huang Yuan.

You can't coerce a confession, and if the criminal refuses to admit guilt, then look for ironclad evidence.

Xu Shu asked some more questions, but Huang Yuan refused to answer, and said over and over again that he was wronged.

Xu Shu did not torture him, and asked him to be sent back to prison.

Then Xu Shu asked Huang Xing, Baowu and others to be questioned one by one, and the questions asked were all about Huang Yuan.

Huang Yuan didn't say it himself, but these officials around him, who had worked with him for many years, would always know something unknown to outsiders.

Perhaps, Xu Shu will be able to find clues from their mouths and know where Huang Yuan hid his belongings.

To say that Huang Yuan is not corrupt, Xu Shu absolutely does not believe it, not to mention that Huang Xing, Baowu and others now also point out that Huang Yuan has the lion's share.

The following officials combined, the embezzled money is not as good as Huang Yuan alone.

One person said that it might be framed, but in Ning'an County, all the officials below who were raided all bit Huang Yuan, so it is absolutely impossible to just frame him.
