The two of them seemed to have a sentence without a word, but Shao Xi had some new ideas in his heart, but this idea was not yet mature, and Shao Xi didn't know if he was thinking right, so he kept it in his heart for the time being.

Liang Daoqian's residence was not far away, and when Shao Xi and Master Liu arrived, they saw Lao Wu directing everyone to rummage through all the accounts related to the treasury in the house. There were also several scribes from the treasury standing aside waiting for Lao Wu to ask.

"How? What did you find? As soon as Shao Xi walked into the room, he asked Lao Wu.

Lao Wu handed a booklet in his hand to Shao Xi and said loudly: "Look at this!" I don't think it's a problem. ”

Shao Xi stretched out his hand and took a look at the booklet, which turned out to be a detailed record of the silver money in and out of the warehouse, which recorded the specific time and quantity of the silver money in and out of the warehouse, including the supervisor in charge of the day, the receiver, and even the escort, all of which were entered extremely carefully, and there was no omission.

After reading it, Shao Xi turned his head to Master Liu and asked, "In addition to the normal annual tax payment and money and grain dispatch, are there any other income expenditures?" ”

Master Liu bowed down and replied: "In addition to the above normal money in and out, whenever there are large-scale celebrations, sacrifices or temporary levies, there are not too many miscellaneous items on weekdays, in order to let the people of Qingshan County live and work in peace and contentment, the county keeper strictly orders that no additional taxes can be added in any name, so that the people can bear the additional tax burden. ”

Shao Xi said with a smile: "In this way, Lord Chen is really a parent official who loves the people like a son. ”

"What Lord Shao said is right, Lord County Shou is really working hard every day for the people of Qingshan County to be able to live and serve in peace, and he is really working hard every day, working hard and working hard!"

"Speaking of which, Lord Liu is also a diligent official who is dedicated to his duties."

"Lord Shao has won the award, and the lower officials dare not admit this praise, and the lower officials will also go to help see if there are any clues that will help Lord Shao solve the case."

After speaking, Master Liu also searched in Liang Daoqian's room with others.

Lao Wu asked Shao Xi in a low voice, "Do you think something is wrong?" ”

Shao Xi smiled and replied in a low voice: "Of course, judging from the records, this money comes and goes so frequently, and the amount is not small, it is completely beyond the normal silver money dispatch of a local county government, what is the purpose of such frequent silver money dispatch?" ”

"I also think it's very strange, if Liang Daoqian embezzled the treasury money and changed the account books privately, it should not be so frequent, and there should not even be such a detailed entry and exit record."

"It's not that he shouldn't have it, it's that he didn't expect this booklet to fall into our hands now, and it's just a record of access, there should be another account book to match this, and this account book should be the key to the whole thing, but it doesn't look like you have found it."

"Has it been destroyed?"

Shao Xi nodded slightly, "It's very likely, let's go back and discuss this matter again, put this booklet away, and we'll take it back." ”

Lao Wu took the booklet in Shao Xi's hand and stuffed it directly into his arms, his movements were very small, and the people around him did not notice it in the slightest.

While the two were talking in a low voice, they suddenly heard Xiong Dutou shouting: "Found an account book, I wonder if it will help this case?" ”

Shao Xi took the account book and carefully flipped through it, and found that what was recorded in the account book was the details of how Liang Daoqian embezzled treasury money and privately changed the public account.

"Xiong Dutou, where did you find this account book?"

"Lord Hui, it is sandwiched in many documents and account books, if you don't check it carefully, it is really not easy to find, it seems that this Liang Daoqian's crime of embezzling the treasury silver, plus the crime of arson and murder is a certainty, no matter what, you can't escape."

This is really a pillow that I want to fall asleep, what a coincidence. In this way, Liang Daoqian has no chance to turn over, it can be said that he will die, and the matter was resolved so smoothly.

Shao Xi flipped through the account book in his hand and read it carefully from the inside out, then handed it to Master Liu and said, "Lord Liu, and bring this account book back to the government office and hand it over to the county guard, so that it can be used as a crop certificate when the court is tried in the future." ”

Master Liu took the account book and put it in his arms, bowed down and said: "It seems that the theft of the treasury silver a few days ago must also be related to this Liang Daoqian, plus the case of private appropriation of treasury silver and arson and murder in the treasury was investigated, thanks to the action of the two adults, the adults of the 'Jing Chengsi' are worthy of the trust of the saints, and they are indeed well investigated, and we deeply admire them." ”

"Okay, Lord Liu will go back to the mansion first! Lord Cai and Xiong Dutou will continue to search here, to see if there are any other clues, Lord Wu and I will go back first, if we find anything new, Xiong Dutou can go to the post house to find the two of us. ”

After hearing this, Master Liu, Cai Cheng, and Xiong Dutou hurriedly bowed down and said yes, and respectfully sent Shao Xi and the others out of the treasury and went to work.

As soon as he returned to the inn room, Lao Wu opened his mouth and asked Shao Xi, "Young Master, what do you think of today's events?" ”

"What do I think? Lao Wu, don't you think it's going too well? ”

"It's really going too well, we can find whatever we want, whoever we want to die must die, it seems that someone is deliberately cooperating with us, I'm afraid we can't find out the result."

"Isn't it good to cooperate with us? Since they want to sing, we will set up a stage for him, and we set up a stage so that they can perform well on it, and when they act, their tails will be exposed, and everyone knows it. ”

"Young Master, tell me what you think now!"

Shao Xi pondered for a moment with his chin on his head, and said: "First of all, Liang Daoqian's behavior is very unreasonable, he took the initiative to expose his bottom under the premise that I have no ironclad evidence, how could such a cunning person make such an impulsive move?" There is only one explanation, he has to do this, maybe there is a way to live if he does this, but if he doesn't do this, he may die, so who can let him die? ”

"Don't ask questions if you know the answer, I'm not an idiot."

"Okay, let me put it simply, Liang Daoqian took the initiative to stand up and take the blame because I found too many suspicions from him, rather than let me continue to investigate, it was better for him to take the initiative to jump out, but at that time, we couldn't determine his motive for committing the crime in the end, so I just raised a suspicion at that time, and this suspicion was quickly confirmed as a fact. Lord Chen's fainting; Master Liu took the initiative to ask Ying to accompany me to investigate the case; And the account book that was easy to find, it seemed to have been arranged in advance. ”

Lao Wu rubbed his head, "Don't be simple, let's be more detailed!" ”

Shao Xi rolled his eyes at Lao Wu, "To put it bluntly, Liang Daoqian is a pawn who crosses the river, and his initiative to sacrifice is to keep the handsome man behind, since all our suspicions are on him, then simply push him out and send him to death." ”

"Well, I understand that."

"Since we already know that he is a mortal pawn, then Lord Chen's fainting is very unreasonable, the only explanation is pretending, the purpose should be to get out of our sight in time for the next step of arrangement, so there is Master Liu who chased him out of the mansion and wanted to accompany me to the treasury to investigate the case."

"Young master, you mean ......"

"That's right, it's that account book, the appearance of Master Liu's book is to let that account book appear in front of us, let us sit on Liang Daoqian's charges, I have carefully read that account book, it is very new, it is not a often read, the corners of the old account book are worn, but it seems to be carefully written, well preserved, in case of emergency."

"Want to close the case in time?"

"Yes, they don't want us to look any further, because if we do any longer, we might find something else."

Speaking of this, the two of them suddenly suddenly said in unison: "That real account book!" ”

Shao Xi said with some excitement: "That's right, that account book must contain something unspeakable, and Liang Daoqian set fire to the armor library to cover up the existence of the real account book." ”

"Burning the armor can cover up that account book? How to cover it up? ”

"The account books of the treasury are checked by the master book of Liu, sorted out and stored in the first treasury and reported to the household department, if there is a problem with the account books of the treasury, it is impossible not to find the master book of Liu, since there is a problem, why should it be sorted out and stored? It can only be explained that Master Liu conspired with them to make false accounts into the warehouse, because if there was no problem with the account books of the treasury, there would be no need for Liang Daoqian to burn the armor treasury. ”

Lao Wu twisted his beard and asked puzzledly: "Even if you make a fake account, there is no need to burn the armor, right?" Isn't that redundant? Instead, it will attract the attention of others. ”

"Under normal circumstances, there is indeed no need for this, but now there is an accident, the account book is likely to be out of their control, at this time, if you compare the account book reported to the household department with it, you will find many of these problems, then in the short term can not recover the account book, the easiest way is to destroy the account book in the first library, of course, but also make it an accident."

Lao Wu nodded in agreement: "Well, it makes sense, judging from the current situation, only this possibility is the greatest, so how did the account books get out of control?" ”

The two of them said in unison: "The theft of the treasury silver!" ”

Before the two of them could react, they spoke at the same time again: "Ye Zikite!" ”

Shao Xi was a little anxious at this time, walking around on the ground and muttering.

"No wonder, no wonder! No wonder after the treasury silver was stolen by her, the top and bottom of the Qingshan County Government were so nervous; No wonder Liang Daoqian gritted his teeth with hatred for her; No wonder she showed up last night when the armor caught fire; No wonder she said that she wanted to do something for the people of Qingshan City before leaving, it turned out that what she was talking about was to sue the people of Qingshan County for this matter and get rid of these corrupt officials. ”

At this time, Lao Wu also became nervous, "This matter is not trivial, this girl is going to stab the hornet's nest!" Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials! ”

"No, I'll go to her now and tell her that this can't be done, even if it does, I have to do it, and she can't take this risk."

"I said, can you stop a bit? Now in broad daylight, is it too obvious that you go to Lanxiufang? After nightfall, we will go back to the account book from the girl's hand, and add the records of the entry and exit of the money in and out of the government treasury in our hands, which should be regarded as complete physical evidence, and then we can go to the state capital or go directly to the household department to file a complaint according to the contents of the account book. ”

"She can't make any mistakes."
