After sending Li Yi away, Yu Xiaotian asked Zhang Hu's dog-headed military advisor, that is, Master Xing, to take him to his residence.

Don't look at Master Xing when Zhang Hu was there, he was very arrogant on Nanri Island, but at this time, he was already so frightened that his soul was scattered, and his speech was a little upside down, and as soon as he was brought to Yu Xiaotian, he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and kowtowed repeatedly.

It didn't mean that Xiaotian spoke, so he knelt and crawled to Yu Xiaotian's feet, hugged Yu Xiaotian with one foot and cried, begging Yu Xiaotian to spare his life.

Yu Xiaotian despises such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, when the villain is powerful, this kind of person drags like 2580,000, but once he loses power, even if he is made to eat, he can do it.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy had a lot of secrets about Zhang Hu, Yu Xiaotian would definitely not have left him alive, and would have chopped him into the sea and fed Wang Ba.

But now Yu Xiaotian knows that he can't kill this guy for the time being, so he can only endure the nausea, pick it with his toes, kick this Master Xing aside, and snort coldly: "Hugh wants to cry like this, I called you here today, not to kill you, but you had better figure it out, if you want to live, it's not impossible, but it depends on how you perform!" I have something to ask you, if you answer the truth, what can you do with your life? ”

When Master Xing heard that there was still a way to live, he quickly put away his crying, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, knelt on the ground and replied respectfully: "Yes, yes, yes!" If the big boss has something to say, just ask, and the small one must know everything, and say everything! As long as you know the way, you will never dare to hide half a point from the big boss! ”

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said: "You know the depth of the Dao best, if you want to live, give me a reason to let you live, you want to know what your reputation was on Nanri Island before, there are many people who want you to die, whether you can give me a reason to let you live, it depends on your performance." ”

Master Xing suddenly broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, he actually knew better than anyone else, in the past, he was here to offend Wang Hong, Fang An and their subordinates a lot, now that these people are in power, there will definitely be no fewer people who want him to die, so if he doesn't show some ability, then this little life may not be able to be saved.

So he hurriedly kowtowed like garlic and agreed, and promised again and again that Yu Xiaotian would be satisfied.

"Alright! I'll believe you for now! Now tell me, who Zhang Hu had contact with the government in Fujian and Fuzhou before, how can you make the government ignore you, who do you serve, how much do you work each year, and how to contact them! You think about these things clearly, tell me 1510, if everything is true after I check, then your life will be saved! Yu Xiaotian took a sip of the tea bowl and asked Master Xing, who was kneeling on the ground.

After hearing this, Master Xing thought for a while, and hurriedly said, "This little Zhilu Dao! Zhang Hu's previous things in this area were all handled by the small ones for him, and the small ones also had a special account book, which was usually carefully kept! As long as you find that account book, you will see it at a glance!

Yu Da Dangjia asked very much, in fact, the reason why Zhang Hu has been here for so many years is not that the government is afraid of him, but that the official has benefited, so he has turned a blind eye to him.

Moreover, Zhang Hu would not normally attack the villages and towns on the shore in the vicinity, so after these officials got the benefits, they naturally would not find any more ways to suppress the Shark Gang! ”

When Yu Xiaotian heard this, he immediately asked, "Where are the account books now?" Get it for me! ”

When Master Xing heard this, he quickly nodded in agreement, Yu Xiaotian waved his hand and asked Zhao Si to take him down, and more than an hour later, Master Xing was brought back by Zhao Si with a sad face, and Zhao Si handed over a tattered account book to Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian briefly flipped through it and immediately asked, "Why is there only half a copy?" ”

Master Xing replied with a sad face: "Please forgive the big boss, the small ones usually hide this account book under the bed, but these days the village is a little messy, I don't know who searched for this account book, the small one looked for a long time to find it in the corner of the yard, and half of the book has been torn up to use it!" ”

Yu Xiaotian immediately pulled out a few black lines on his head, when he seized the Dazhai of Nanri Island, although he also had orders that when his subordinates copied the residences of these key people, they should pay special attention to books and some account books and other things, and once they were found, they should be properly kept and handed over to him for investigation.

But the guys apparently didn't take it to heart, and when someone found the account book, they took it and wiped their butts, and now only half of the damaged account book remained.

After Yu Xiaotian looked at it, he couldn't see an eyebrow, only saw some messy things marked on it, so he asked, "What do these labels mean?" Why not a person's name? ”

Master Xing hurriedly lay on the ground and replied: "If you go back to the big boss, when you used to keep accounts, you were worried that after someone got this account book, the news would be exposed and cause trouble, so when you keep the accounts, you don't directly mark your name, but replace it with something, even if you see it, if you don't understand what it is, you won't know what is recorded in it!" So it's not surprising that the big boss can't read it! However, most of the small hearts still remember, and they can be told to the big masters one by one! ”

When Yu Xiaotian heard that this guy still knew this kind of secrecy measures, it was a bit interesting, indicating that this guy was still very brainy, but he didn't leave his name in the bookkeeping, and only used some code names to replace it, so as to ensure that it was well documented and not known to outsiders, which was a good way.

"Alright! I'll give you a room, you go down first, I'll have someone send you pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and you will carefully recall it for me, and re-compile a list of people who need to be counted on the official face, as well as the amount of money to be given to them every year, without the slightest omission, nor exaggerated or shrunk! It must be detailed, and once I find out that there is a falsehood or omission, I will not spare you at that time! Yu Xiaotian shouted to Master Xing in a deep voice.

Master Xing trembled with fright, kowtowed again and said yes, saying that he must remember it well to ensure that there will be no omissions and mistakes.

When Master Xing was taken down, he spent a whole day, while flipping through the broken account book before, sorting out the memories in his mind, and re-listing a list and an account book for Yu Xiaotian, sorting out the memories as much as possible, re-compiling them into an account book, and then asking Zhao Si to present them to Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian immediately carefully reviewed it, this look was really shocking, Zhang Hu over the years, there are really a lot of people, but there are no officials in the imperial court, basically some of the staff in various official offices, and the amount of silver taels is also quite different according to their status.

The highest is the two people in the governor's yamen and the Fuzhou government, the one in the governor's yamen is called Li Qibai, and the one in the Fuzhou government is called Meng Tiancheng, these two people are the staff of the governor's yamen and the government office, and they can be regarded as the henchmen of the officials.

Therefore, Zhang Hu's annual investment in these two people exceeded two thousand taels of silver, and the rest of the people ranged from hundreds to dozens of taels, total, Yu Xiaotian calculated that the silver taels used to bribe these people alone would require nearly eight thousand taels of silver.

This is a huge amount of expenditure, even exceeding the consumption of the entire Zhang Hu to maintain the Shark Gang, after looking at this number, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little bigger.

No wonder Zhang Hu is rampant in this area, it turns out that this guy's burden is really not light! Feeding these guys is a considerable expense, and it really can't take care of such a big expense without making money.

After reading this list, Yu Xiaotian asked Zhao Si to bring Master Xing over again, and carefully asked them how to contact these people before.

Master Xing hurriedly explained: "Actually, there is no need to be troublesome, in the past, before June and the end of the year, I would take the pass and silver ticket of Baotong Money Village to the land for a trip, and after sending someone to vote for the post, please send these people out and present the silver ticket!" After these people receive the silver tickets, they can go to Baotong Money Bank to exchange them for cash at any time, or they can exchange them for copper coins.

And these people are also very interesting, they never say anything after taking the money, and they usually don't have too much intersection, and the sharks help go ashore to do things, and they all turn a blind eye, and get by! ”

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Very good!" Master Xing, I see that you are still honest in the past two days, so I will temporarily store your head on your neck, as for your wife and children, I will also send someone to release them in a while, and I will return your former small courtyard to you to live in! ”

When Master Xing heard this, he quickly kowtowed and thanked him, his face couldn't hide his excited expression, and he couldn't wait to pounce on Yu Xiaotian's feet and kiss him a few times, and even tears flowed down in his eyes.

Yu Xiaotian asked him to calm down for a while, and then said: "I will keep your life for you first, and then see if you are able to do things well, and then make a conclusion, if you are obedient and do things for me, I will not treat you badly in the future, but if you are not honest and slippery, hum!" ……”

"Don't dare! The little ones don't dare! The little ones will never dare! Please rest assured that the small one will do things for the big boss wholeheartedly, and the big boss will just tell him if he has anything, and the small one will never dare not work hard. Master Xing shook his head like a rattle, and reassured again and again.

"That's good, I'll send someone to accompany you on a land trip in a few days, or this list, you go and meet with them all, tell them that although the Shark Gang is gone, and Zhang Hu is dead, but the service that should be given to them, I won't miss them for a penny, I need them to turn a blind eye to us in the future, as long as they don't make trouble for me, they can give them more in the future!

As for how to tell them, if you think about it, I don't bother to care, in short, just one, is to stabilize them for me, don't let them think that I cut off their financial routes, Zhang Hu can afford to raise them, I can also afford to raise them in Yu Xiaotian, and I won't let them suffer at all! Yu Xiaotian shook the list to Master Xing and said.

After hearing this, Master Xing hurriedly nodded yes again, and then was taken down.
