"Yes, sir!" Although Song Qi still didn't know why Luo Yangxing was able to judge the authenticity of this account book, since Luo Yangxing had already ordered it, he naturally had to carry it out to the letter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But then again, even Wang Dengku's account book is fake - of course, the possibility of this situation is relatively small, Luo Yangxing and their Jinyiwei side also have sufficient evidence to convict them, but Luo Yangxing still hopes that this account book is true, even if no other criminal evidence and implicated characters are found in the account book, at least his case is handled beautifully, otherwise there are only human witnesses and no physical evidence, after all, it is still not perfect, and it does not reflect Luo Yangxing's ability to handle cases.

As for the authenticity of this account book, in addition to the information that Hou Shilu had just provided to himself, Luo Yangxing planned to verify it from other places, because just now, Luo Yangxing found an extremely unreasonable place from the paper handed by the old account room.

In the list of gifts embodied on that piece of paper, the number of silver taels of "filial piety" is obviously determined according to the size of the opponent's official position, for example, Hou Shilu, the largest total soldier, is 1,000 taels, the second-level deputy general is 800 taels, and the second-level staff general is 500 taels......

However, Luo Yangxing found that there was an officer who was obviously only a guerrilla attacker, but he was just a garrison, so Wang Dengku gave him 800 taels of silver at one time -- he directly helped him "promote several ranks", and even reached the treatment of a deputy general, second only to Hou Shilu, the chief soldier, and had a little meaning of "one person under ten thousand people."

Obviously, this garrison is certainly not simple, and Luo Yangxing found that in fact, this garrison is mainly responsible for the defense of Zhangjiakou City, and it is this person who is directly responsible for the work of inspecting the goods traded by the merchants.

At this time, Luo Yangxing remembered a very important thing, that is, although this garrison was the local garrison of Zhangjiakou, but the day before yesterday it did not participate in the seizure of the property of Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku, these merchants, in addition to Hou Shilu's personal soldiers, with the local defenders of Zhangjiakou was a thousand general, according to him, the garrison of Zhangjiakou was sick and could not participate in the action.

Several suspicious points pointed to this garrison at the same time, and Luo Yangxing almost didn't have to think about it, he thought that there must be something wrong with this garrison, maybe they were accomplices with Wang Dengku.

So Luo Yangxing hurriedly brought people to the garrison's home, and sure enough, he found a large amount of gold and silver property, far exceeding the normal amount of property that a garrison could have - even including the gray income that was common in the whole army of the Ming Dynasty, it was far less than the money of this garrison.

And this garrison himself had long expected that he would be approached by the Jinyi guards, and he had long been sitting at home waiting to be arrested - after all, the city gates had long been closed, even if he was the biggest person in Zhangjiakou, but he had no chance to get out of the city at all, because now it was different from the past, there were too many big people in Zhangjiakou City, and he had become a small person in comparison, and the Jinyi guards guarding the city gate or Hou Shilu's personal soldiers would obviously not buy his account as a small person.

Zhangjiakou's garrison surnamed Li, after two days of nervousness and anxiety, but never found a way to escape, Li Shoubei finally chose to accept his fate, and stayed up at home, when Luo Yangxing brought someone to arrest him, he was also very cooperative, as if Luo Yangxing was going to take him to the capital to receive the reward and listen to the seal, after all, he was always waiting with fear, and the unknown future would become more and more terrifying, it was better to arrest him directly, which was also a relief for Li Shoubei.

Luo Yangxing soon found out why Li Shoubei was able to die so quickly, because in his family, Luo Yangxing did not find any of his family members except himself-according to Li Shoubei's confession, because of the border area, he committed such a serious crime, and he also knew in his heart that sooner or later something would happen to him, either killed by the Tartars, or arrested by the imperial court, in short, it would definitely harm his family, so as early as two years ago, he sent his family away.

In fact, it is said that it is a family member, but in fact, there is only one of his twelve or thirteen-year-old sons, Li Shoubei's wife died early, and he did not remarry, so he has been living alone, as for the question of where his son let him go, Li Shoubei suddenly changed his painting style, changed his previous attitude of active cooperation, and directly answered with silence, and his face showed a sad look, and later Luo Yangxing learned through the mouth of Li Shoubei's servant that Li Shoubei's son has been weak since he was born. Since he was a child, Lang Zhong has almost never stopped taking medicine, but even if Li Shoubei tried all kinds of ways to treat his son, he still failed to save his son's life, and his son died last year.

Therefore, when asked about his family, Li Shoubei was silent, and he looked very sad.

Seeing that there was nothing of value in the matter of Li Shoubei's family, Luo Yangxing temporarily gave up the interrogation of this information, after all, Li Shoubei's son was not an important person, and it was unlikely that he would be involved in the business situation of Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku—not to mention that this son was now dead.

Although Luo Yangxing had not participated in Xiao Mu's various exams in his later life, he also knew the truth of "leaving the difficult questions first, saving time to finish the simple and well-done questions", so he no longer cared about Li Shoubei's son, but asked again about Wang Dengku's bribery of him.

"Back to Shangcha, Wang Dengku has given silver to the sin general five times over the years, each time it is eight hundred taels, and the most recent one is before the New Year, on the twenty-second day of the lunar month." As long as Luo Yangxing didn't ask Li Shoubei's son such a question that evoked his sad memories, he would honestly cooperate with the answer.

"In addition to Wang Dengku, Fan Yongdou gave the most silver taels to the guilty generals, each time it was one thousand taels, and in the past few years, there were a total of five thousand taels of silver, and there were other merchants, most of them gave five hundred taels to the guilty generals each time, and over the years, all the silver in the criminal general's family added up to almost 20,000 taels." Li Shoubei continued to explain, "The sin general has no family members, and it is enough for a person to live the usual life, Fan Yongdou and the silver they sent except for the two thousand taels spent on the son of the sin general a few years ago, the rest is in the next room, since the death of the sin general's son, these money have not been spent." ”
