Chapter 219: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

Zheng County's city government is too deep, if it weren't for his subordinates to find out about these things, I'm afraid they would really be able to hide this matter.

Although clues have been found, it is a pity that there is still a lack of evidence in their hands, and unless their ledger can be found, the truth of the matter will only be lost.

When these people have been greedy for money, they will certainly keep the ledger in a very hidden place.

So Xiao Hanyin sneaked in several times, but failed to find the account book.

"Why don't you come up with a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" Liu Qingshao saw that he had a headache about this matter, so he thought of a solution.

"If you want to transfer him out of the house, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing!" Xiao Hanyin said with a frown.

"It's man-made, not to mention that what they care about most at the moment is their own account book, what do you say if he knows that someone has stolen the account book?" In fact, Liu Qingshao prepared a serial plan.

She planned to disrupt their steps by making a ploy to disrupt them, and then release the false news that the ledger had been stolen.

When the time comes, they will definitely be eager to see if their ledger is still there.

These two schemes seem to be commonplace, but they are effective for those who are thieves.

So, Xiao Hanyin wanted to give it a try.

However, if they fail now, these officials will definitely be on guard, and it will be even more difficult to find the ledger in the future.

Therefore, the two of them had a good discussion with their men to try to be safe.

With the ledgers, the refugees were able to return to their homes and live a quiet life.

If these tumors are not removed, the people of these counties will be desperate sooner or later.

When people are desperate, it is easy to do things that are irrational.

Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao didn't want to see this day, so they had to succeed this time......

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao decided to send a few henchmen to steal the account books from other officials' mansions at the same time.

Zheng County's order was not easy to deal with, so Xiao Hanyin took action in person, and handed over the rest to his subordinates.

"Don't worry, the five of them, we can always steal one or two!" Liu Qingshao knew that he took this matter very seriously.

In any case, they can only succeed, not fail, otherwise there will be no second chance.

A few people are embarrassed, and they must have secretly recorded it in the account book, otherwise they would have distributed the spoils unevenly, and they were afraid that they would have turned their faces long ago......

Xiao Hanyin sneaked into Zheng County's mansion late at night, eavesdropped on his conversation with his subordinates, and learned that several of them did keep an account book in their hands.

However, Zheng Xianling is very cunning, and only he knows where he hides the account books.

He searched in Zheng Countyling's study for a long time, but he never found it.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Xiao Hanyin had no choice but to leave first.

The next day, one of his men returned, and one of them succeeded.

This time, in order to steal the ledger smoothly, they all used a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain.

"Ah Yin, we have to find a way to control them all as soon as possible, otherwise they will definitely take precautions after knowing that the ledger is gone!" This is their territory, and they have to be careful.

"With this account book, a few of them can't run!" The ledger records their secret looting of the people's fat and ointment, as well as their relationship with each other.

However, only some of them are recorded in the ledger.

"I guess they should have kept their accounts in several books, and then managed them separately!" Liu Qingshao looked through the ledger.

These people were so cunning that even if they got a copy of it, it would only prove that they had done something against the laws of the imperial court, but it would not be enough to sentence them to death.

"I'll go to Zheng County to drag him down, you find a way to go to his house to find the account book, the thing must be in his study, I suspect that there is a secret grid, and the mechanism is in those books!" When Xiao Hanyin went there last night, he had already discovered the clues, but Zheng Xian ordered that person to think too deeply, and he set up a mechanism in the study.

Xiao Hanyin almost touched the organ, and once he touched it, Zheng County Ling would definitely notice that someone had been to the study.

So, when he was cautiously preparing to disarm the mechanism, someone came over, and the sky was about to dawn, so Xiao Hanyin had no choice but to use light skills and leave.

Now, the things they did were about to be known to the other party, and they could only take the risk once.

Although Liu Qingshao felt that this was very dangerous, she did not persuade them, after all, if they didn't do this, they would probably be trapped in Wuyang County.

These people have forced people to displace, and in order to make a living, they have to pretend to be refugees, but they can remain indifferent and continue to hide what they have done, which shows how much hatred they have in their hearts.

In the end, at Liu Qingshao's insistence, they made an appointment with Zheng County on the grounds of eating.

At this moment, he should not have received the news of the loss of the ledger.

Although these people often breathe out of one nostril behind their backs, when it comes to their own interests, I am afraid that they will not hesitate to eat dog......

After Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin invited Zheng Xianling to her restaurant here, Xiao Hanyin's subordinates disguised themselves and quietly slipped in.

With the topographic map given to them by Xiao Hanyin, the two of them cleverly avoided the mechanism, got the account book, and then put a fake copy in.

This is Liu Qingshao's suggestion, and she plans to use this method to disturb Zheng County's thoughts, delaying it for a while.

After the two came out of the study, they left quickly.

They pretended to be, Zheng County's personal servants, and the people in the mansion did not suspect them when they saw them.

Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin previously found a person who could make human skin. Capable man of the mask.

In order to keep him, Liu Qingshao gave him a lot of money.

It's a pity that he only agreed to make a few human skins for Liu Qingshao. Mask.

He likes to live unrestrained and doesn't want to be controlled, so even if Liu Qingshao offered a high price, he was not tempted.

Unable to keep him, Liu Qingshao felt very regretful, but these few human skins. Mask, but it has helped her a lot.

What's more, the other party left a carrier pigeon, which he raised personally, as long as Liu Qingshao is in need, he can send a message to him...... Let's read the book

After Xiao Hanyin got the account book, she immediately sent someone to the imperial city and handed it over to the emperor, he was worried that the night would be long and dreamy.

When the emperor saw the account book, he was very angry.

His people, enslaved by the magistrates, were forced to become refugees, and he knew nothing.

If he hadn't sent Xiao Hanyin to investigate, I was afraid that he would have been kept in the dark.

"Father, these people are so bold that they must be severely punished!" When the prince learned about this, he was also very angry.

He always thought that there would be refugees in Wuyang County, but what natural and man-made disasters happened, and the result turned out to be man-made.

It is a heinous crime to force people so that they cannot become refugees.

They had never heard of such a thing since the beginning of the dynasty......

"Conceal the truth and don't report it, and other officials in Wuyang County will also be guilty!" The emperor said angrily.

The people were looted to the point where they could not survive, and these people were simply worse than animals.

If there were no people, what qualifications would they have to be officials?

The emperor has always attached importance to talented people, but the officials below often fill their pockets and ignore the lives of the people.

Such a person does not deserve everything in front of him, and they should go directly to hell, otherwise it will be difficult to dispel the hatred in his heart......

"Father, since Hanyin and they are still in Wuyang County, why don't you directly let him deal with those officials!" The prince proposed.

He really wanted the emperor to give Xiao Hanyin a little more help.

Only if Xiao Hanyin has meritorious deeds, things will be better handled in the future.

"I've already made up my mind about this matter, so go out first!" The emperor is determined to completely eradicate those tumors.

Since it is useless, it should not be kept to continue to harm the people.

Good people have become refugees and beggars, and the impact on the emperor is really too great.

He always thought that the imperial court was safe and secure under his own governance, but he was shocked by the facts.

It turned out that where he could not see, the people were being exploited by local officials.

Subsequently, the emperor decreed that the prefects of the prefectures and counties should strictly discipline themselves and not have any deception.

Although the emperor knew in his heart that he was doing this, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and it would not have much effect at all, but it could deter those officials who had bad intentions.

He will find a way to investigate this matter later, and let people go to various places to investigate one by one.

The people are the foundation of the country, and if their lives can't go on, sooner or later there will be problems in the court.

After Xiao Hanyin received the emperor's handwritten letter, he immediately dismissed all these officials and investigated them.

In fact, after Zheng Xianling returned home from eating at the restaurant with them, he found that his account book seemed to have been touched.

He was horrified and wanted to pack up his things and leave overnight, but unfortunately he was stopped by Xiao Hanyin in the end.

Knowing that the matter was exposed, Zheng County's heart was like ashes.

Zheng Xianling was controlled, and there was no way to pass on the news to others.

Therefore, after Xiao Hanyin received the emperor's secret order, none of them escaped.

Several corrupt and bribe-taking officials were imprisoned, and then Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao returned the money to the people.

Liu Qingshao even took out a sum of money privately and secretly donated it to the people.

Before, she had always thought that these refugees were all pretending, and none of them had been rescued.

As a result, she didn't expect that everything was a ghost in the county order.

These people lived a miserable life, but they did not dare to speak openly to others, for fear of being harmed.

Xiao Hanyin led people to raid the homes of these officials, and all the things found were converted into silver and returned to them.

The people are grateful for this!

After all, if it weren't for Xiao Hanyin, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to survive.

With so many people reduced to beggars and refugees, even if someone wants to help them, they are powerless.

"Thank you, if it weren't for you this time, we would all die in the wilderness!"

"Please accept our worship!"

Everyone knelt directly in front of Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao.

"You don't have to be so polite, these are all ordered by the emperor to do it, and the person you should be grateful for is the saint!" Xiao Hanyin directly withdrew the credit for his own work.

But the people were still grateful to them.

The emperor is high, how can he understand the suffering of the people.

All they care about is the person who rescued them from the fire pit.

Although Xiao Hanyin returned all the money to them, it was a pity that some of them had already been spent by the officials.

The people were numerous, and the money was not enough.

Liu Qingshao privately subsidized some, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

The life of those officials was luxurious, and they cost a lot of silver every day.

Therefore the people did not have much money in their hands at all.
