Chapter 216: Why Do You Want to Accumulate a Lot of Wealth?
"What did you find?" Lin Mo looked at Yan Mu at this time and asked.
Yan Mu nodded, and then said, "There are clues in the prefect's case." ”
"How?" After hearing this, Wei Yun hurriedly asked.
I saw Yan Mu take out a booklet from his body at this time, and then handed it to Lin Mo, "Childe, look." ”
Lin Mo took the booklet and opened it to read it.
"What is this?" Wei Yun looked at Lin Mo's frowning brows and asked.
At this time, Lin Mo closed the booklet, then sighed, and handed the booklet to Wei Yun, "There are a lot of people involved behind this case, and these are the rosters of bribe-takers. ”
"How can this be reasonable, I didn't expect officialdom to be so complicated." Yang Zijin glanced at it and saw the names of many officials of all sizes written on it, and couldn't help but throw the booklet on the table.
Lin Mo squinted his eyes slightly at this time, and then looked at Yan Mu, "Destroy the booklet and keep staring!" ”
"Subordinates obey!" After Yan Mu heard this, he immediately took the booklet away, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the house.
After Yan Mu left, Wei Yun frowned, looked at Lin Mo and asked, "The prefect is dead now, where should we investigate this case next?" ”
"Go to his place and see if there's any clue left." Lin Mo thought for a moment, and then said.
Wei Yun nodded after hearing this, and then the two of them walked towards the prefect's residence again.
Since the prefect was killed, this courtyard has been sealed, and the two went directly to the prefect's study, and began to look through them separately.
"Lin Mo, what do you see recorded on this?" Wei Yun found an account book, and immediately flipped through it, only to see that there was a person's name in the account book that appeared frequently.
Hearing Wei Yun call him, Lin Mo hurriedly walked over, looked at the account book in Wei Yun's hand, and looked at it, only to see that it clearly recorded every amount of money sent to Governor Jiang every time, and the amount was amazing.
"I didn't expect that all the money embezzled by this prefect went into the pocket of the governor of this river." Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sneer.
If he hadn't found this account book today, he really didn't expect that Governor Jiang and these people would be the same dog.
Wei Yun nodded, "Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, these officials eat the court's money, and squeeze the people's fat and ointment, and in the end, it is these ordinary people who suffer." ”
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated, I know a thing or two about Governor Jiang, he has never had much money, what is he going to do if he collects so much money?" Lin Mo couldn't figure out why Governor Jiang wanted his subordinates to collect money.
Hearing Lin Mo say this, Wei Yun agreed, "Investigate thoroughly, you must investigate thoroughly!" ”
The two of them agreed, and then walked out of the house and walked towards the mansion of Governor Jiang, and the ledger in his hand was the most powerful evidence for his arrest.
In order to avoid the recurrence of the previous situation, the two of them quickened their pace, and it was not easy to delay a minute.
Arrived in Jiangfu.
Lin Mo said to the people guarding the door that he had something to visit Governor Jiang, and the guards at the door were about to go in to pass the word, when he saw Steward Xu from the Jiang Mansion coming over.
"What's going on?" Steward Xu asked at this time, and was about to walk like the guards inside.
The guard looked back at Lin Mo and Wei Yun.
Seeing this, Steward Xu immediately arched his hand and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Lin Gongzi and Miss Wei, which was rude." ”
"It's okay, we need to ask Governor Jiang about something, I don't know if Governor Jiang is in the mansion now?" Lin Mo said at this time.
I saw that Steward Xu thought for a moment, and then said, "The master is in the house, and the two of you will follow me." ”
With that, Steward Xu led the way in front and led the two to Governor Jiang's study.
When they arrived at the door of the study, Steward Xu stopped and turned back to the two of them and said, "You wait a minute, and I'll go and report." ”
The two nodded, and Steward Xu walked forward and gently held the door of the study, "Master, the son of the Lin family and the Miss Wei family have come to see the master." ”
"Master, Lin Gongzi and Miss Wei are here." Seeing that no one responded in the study, Steward Xu called again.
There was still no sound in the study, and at this time, Steward Xu looked back at the two of them, and then pushed the study door open.
At the moment when the study was pushed open, Steward Xu couldn't help but open his mouth in fright and pointed to the room with his finger, "Old ...... Lord......"
Seeing Steward Xu like this, Lin Mo and Wei Yun hurriedly ran forward, only to see Governor Jiang hanging on the girder at this time, shaking slightly.
Governor Jiang committed suicide?
The two glanced at each other, and then hurriedly ran in, Lin Mo held Governor Jiang's leg at this time, looked at the door and shouted at Steward Xu, who was so frightened that he hadn't come back to his senses, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Come and help. ”
"Oh...... Oh......" Di Lin Mo shouted, and Steward Xu responded, and then ran in.
After putting Governor Jiang down, Lin Mo put his hand under his nose at this time, and then shook his head, Governor Jiang was no longer breathing, and they were one step late.
"What's wrong with Governor Jiang these days? Or an emotional abnormality? Wei Yun looked at Steward Xu at this time and asked.
I saw that Steward Xu shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with the master these days, he was fine before coming to the study, why did he ......work hard for a while?"
As he spoke, Steward Xu's eyes were red, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
"Then this is strange, Governor Jiang has no reason to commit suicide? Didn't you commit suicide in fear of sin? Wei Yun frowned after hearing this, and then analyzed.
Lin Mo checked the scar on Governor Jiang's neck at this time, and couldn't help but say to Wei Yun, "Governor Jiang didn't hang himself but was killed by him." ”
"Murdered?" After Wei Yun heard this, she looked at Lin Mo with a puzzled expression.
Lin Mo nodded, and then pointed to the strangulation marks on Governor Jiang's neck, "You see, if Governor Jiang hanged himself, the two sides of his neck should be shallow, and he won't be bruised, and the marks on Governor Jiang's neck look very consistent, and his epidermis is broken, presumably caused by resistance when someone tried to kill him, and when I first came in, I found that Governor Jiang's hand didn't hang down naturally." ”
"You mean, after Governor Jiang was murdered, he was disguised as a suicide?" Wei Yun said thoughtfully.
Then he asked, "If this is the case, Jiang Xun should rebel, and people outside should not be unable to hear their voices." ”
"It shows that the person Governor Jiang knows and is not wary of him." Xu Mo said at this time.
After Wei Yun heard this, her eyebrows tightened, why did those people know what they were going to do next, and everything could always rush in front of them.
And what is the secret of this Governor Jiang, and where is the money he collected in the end?
A series of questions appeared in Wei Yun's head, and then Wei Yun stood up and walked to the desk on the side.
Lin Mo's analysis was correct, the person who murdered Governor Jiang must be someone who was familiar with him, otherwise the desk was so close to him, and there was no disorder at all, he must have taken advantage of his unpreparedness and started directly.
While thinking about it, Wei Yun almost looked at the books on Governor Jiang's desk, and there was no useful information.
Just when nothing was found, Wei Yun found that the pen holder on Governor Jiang's desk was very peculiar, so he reached out to get it.
But she found that the pen holder and the table were glued together, and she tried a few more times, but she still didn't pick it up, just when she was about to give up, she suddenly saw that there were traces of rubbing on the side of the pen holder, Wei Yun couldn't help but take a look.
Then he pushed the pen holder to the side, and sure enough, the pen holder moved, and there was a small hidden compartment under the pen holder, and there was a letter inside.
Seeing this, the corners of Wei Yun's mouth couldn't help but smile, hiding it so secretly, there must be some clues on it.
Lin Mo, who found that there was a situation here, also came over at this time, Wei Yun took out the letter, and the two got together to read it.
After reading it, the two frowned, the people mentioned in this secret letter are obviously people in the court, but it is a pity that the secret letter uses code words, and the names of the people are all code names.
The two couldn't help sighing, and the clue came here, and it was broken again.
Now the death of the prefect, the death of Governor Jiang, and the people on this secret letter make things more and more confusing.
It feels like someone else has been planned, and they've been going according to someone else's plan.
There was only a code name on the secret letter, and they could not tell which official Governor Jiang had dealings with in the DPRK and China.
After Wei Mengmeng came out of Wei Yun, she felt irritable in her heart, and she didn't want to see the person who said goodbye this time.
If she stays in the house, her mother's people will definitely pull her to find her, and in this case, she will go out and hide.
But where to hide? Wei Mengmeng frowned and thought, and then decided to go to the temple to relax, and begged for marriage by the way.
Wei Mengmeng came out of the Wei Mansion and happened to be seen by Feng Zilan, Feng Zilan was about to step forward to say hello, and couldn't help but think that if such a thing happened, Wei Mengmeng would definitely be even more bored with him.
Thinking of this, Feng Zilan suddenly had a plan, only to see a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and then turned around and walked away.
Wei Mengmeng was worried at this time, and she was now very resistant to her mother finding her a marriage, firstly, she was afraid that she would meet someone like Feng Zilan again, and secondly, she was ...... Second, she did have a heart for Feng Zilan.
I saw that Wei Mengmeng hurriedly shook her head at this time, what was she thinking about now, it was impossible for her to be with that Feng Zilan, and now she had to get out of it as soon as possible.
Immediately, Wei Mengmeng quickened his pace and walked towards the temple.
At this moment, I saw several gangster-looking men standing in front of Wei Mengmeng from the side, blocking her way.
Seeing this, Wei Mengmeng couldn't help but be shocked, looked left and right, and found that there was no one around, and then Wei Mengmeng was about to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, one of the thugs was a few steps ahead of her, and then blocked in front of her.
"Little beauty, where are you going in such a hurry?" As he spoke, one of the thugs approached Wei Mengmeng.
At this time, Wei Mengmeng looked panicked, then glanced back, and looked at a few gangsters in a slightly trembling voice, "You...... You want to ...... What do you want to do? ”
"Hahaha...... What do we want to do, why don't we guess it? I saw one of the thugs laughing at this time, and then approached Wei Mengmeng closely.
