Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Mysterious Inner Ghost

Going to the study to check the accounts is naturally not to check the public accounts. You don't have to think about it to know that since Xie Decai dares to be so greedy, he must have done a good job in the public account.

Therefore, if you check the public accounts, you will not find anything useful.

What she wants to check is Xie Decai's own private accounts.

The secret guard in her hand, the reason why she was able to investigate the money so clearly, was naturally to obtain the private accounts of many officials.

Among them, there is Xie Decai's private accounts and the place where he hides his private accounts.

According to the secret guard's account, she first ordered people to rummage around Xie Decai's study, and then pretended to touch the mechanism by accident.

The entire bookshelf was then moved, revealing the secret door behind it, and the guards were ordered to open the secret door, leaving a secret room behind.

After entering the secret room, everyone was stunned by the scene in the secret room.

In the secret room, there are two large boxes of snowflake silver, all of which are fifty taels and one ingots, neatly stacked.

Pick up one of the ingots and reveal the official seal underneath, indicating that the silver is official silver. If nothing else, it should be the disaster relief money that has been allocated.

In addition to these two boxes of silver, there was also some gold and all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings, and everyone who looked at it was dazzled.

Although she was shocked by what she saw, her purpose was not these things, but the account book that recorded the bribes that Xie De received!

She ordered the search to continue in the dark room, and one of the guards, while fumbling with the oil lamp, touched a mechanism.

After trying to twist, a square hole suddenly appeared beneath the ground, and a staircase extended underneath.

Liu Biao on the side was dumbfounded and said: "What is hidden in this county commander's house, how can there be so many ways?!" ”

Liu Biao led the two guards to go down first, Xiao Han followed with Hongxiu and Cuiwei, Qin Chuan followed, and finally four guards broke off.

The rest of the guards stayed on top, guarding the gold and silver.

Everyone went to the dark room below, lit the candles, and when they saw it, they were silent.

There is no other reason, in this dark room below, there are countless weapons and food.

Liu Biao stammered a little when he spoke in shock: "He... He... He's going to... Rebel...?! ”

No wonder he thinks like this, the scene in front of him, no matter who sees it, will have such thoughts.

Xiao Han grimaced and ordered someone to search this dark room carefully, making sure to find things like account books and letters.

Qin Chuan still found a wooden box in a small dark compartment, and after opening the wooden box, there were three account books and more than a dozen letters inside.

Xiao Han opened it and saw that all of them were correspondence with the governor of Tongzhou.

Among the dozen or so letters, there is no news related to the Yan'an Marquis Mansion.

However, Xiao Han also knew in his heart that even if there was really something about the Yan'an Marquis Mansion in this, he would not let others find out so easily.

But with these letters, Tongzhou Zhizhou can't run.

She handed over all the statistics of these belongings and weapons to Qin Chuan to be in charge of, and asked him to list everything and hand it over to her.

Liu Biao was in charge of assisting Qin Chuan in counting these things, and then she handed over the account book to Hongxiu, from which she counted all the officials and the amount of bribes received.

After coming out of the dark room, she sent someone to tell Zhang Wang and Cui Guangxi, who were interrogating Xie Decai, the news of the dark room.

After they learned the news, they naturally knew how to pry Xie Decai's mouth open.

Sure enough, an hour later, two people appeared in front of her and presented Xie Decai's signed confession to her.

She asked Zhang Wang: "Director Zhang thinks that Xie Decai is this person, how should we deal with it?!" ”

Zhang Wang replied: "Lord of the county, according to the laws of the current dynasty, Xie Decai's crimes can be punished by the nine clans. However, this matter involves a wide range of issues, and the lower officials suggested that their relatives could be temporarily imprisoned and their property could be seized. After everyone is brought to justice, all the principal officials involved in it can be escorted into Beijing and handed over to His Majesty for disposal. ”

This is indeed a good solution, but the problem is that she is worried that Xie Decai and the others will have any accidents on the way to be escorted.

If anyone wants to get rid of them, this is the best chance, and she can't guarantee that they will enter the capital alive.

But she didn't say it.

She nodded: "Director Zhang's idea is good, let's do it for the time being!" ”

After everyone else left, she ordered: "Dark One, send two secret guards to the prison to keep an eye on Xie Decai, and be sure to ensure his safety!" ”

"No."

After everything was settled, she began to write the sonata, which was her first time, so she wrote very seriously.

explained the affairs of Anning County in every detail, and then wrote on some of the letters found from Xie Decai, the names in some account books, and the amount of embezzled money.

She indicated that the situation in Tongzhou is now serious, and many officials are involved. The number of guards is insufficient, and she hopes that the emperor's uncle will give her the right to act cheaply.

In the end, she begged the emperor's uncle to send more troops to Tongzhou, because she suspected that the garrison of Tongzhou already had a disobedient heart.

Then she asked two secret guards to escort Song Shu and the letter into the city, and found a way to put these things in Liu Xing's hands.

As the adopted son of Gonggong Liu, the governor of Ouchi, he naturally sent these things to Gonggong Liu, and Gonggong Liu would present them to the emperor's uncle when the time came.

Before the guards left, she repeatedly admonished: "You may be intercepted this time, remember, the primary purpose is to protect these songs!" ”

After seeing the secret guard leave, Xiao Han was never at ease.

She miscalculated the situation in Tongzhou, according to the data reported by Qin Chuan, these weapons and food are enough for five hundred people.

Even if you count the soldiers of Tongzhou Zhizhou, there are only more than 100 people, far from the number.

Thinking of his previous life, the reason why Grandpa came was precisely because the local garrison had no power to resist.

In the face of unarmed civilians, why is it that a well-trained army has no power to resist?!

Thinking of the names in the account books, there are the names of the generals of the Tongzhou garrison, which means that the nearby garrisons and these officials in Tongzhou have long been in collusion.

And now that she has moved Xie Decai, if the news spreads, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not jump off the wall in a hurry.

She called Liu Biao and ordered him to send someone to find a way to protect the entire county government from invading.

Once someone with bad intentions breaks in, there is no mercy for killing.

Late at night, after everyone had fallen asleep, a figure quietly sneaked into the study, rummaging around, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, the lights were bright, and Xiao Han appeared in the study with everyone.

The man panicked instantly, and wanted to climb out of the window on the side, but was pushed in by the guard's palm, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Xiao Han smiled and said: "The county lord thought that you could endure for a while and do it, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious and start so quickly, but it helped the county lord." ”
