After defeating the two guards, Jiang Xia was originally going to directly push open Wei Youcai's door and walk in, but at the moment when Jiang Xia was about to push the door, he realized that there was a small thin line arranged in front of the door, Jiang Xia estimated that as long as he touched that thin line, he would definitely alarm the guards in Taifu. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
He took a slight breath, and said in his heart that this Wei Youcai is quite careful, and it seems that he has to pay attention.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia simply didn't enter through the main entrance, but chose to go to the window to enter.
Opening the window with ease, Jiang Xia sprinted sharply and jumped in, and after entering the room, he rolled on the ground to stabilize his body.
Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at the door, and sure enough, there was also a thin wire tied at the door, and the bells were all around it, as long as the thin wire bell was pulled, it would definitely ring.
Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and he cautiously walked over to Wei Youcai's long case. Twisting the inkstone slightly, a painting on the wall moved open, revealing the door of the iron box.
The iron box is embedded in the wall, and it is impossible to take it out in its entirety, the only way is to open the door of the iron box, but the key is still on Wei Youcai.
Of course, Jiang Xia pulled a thread from his head, and then walked to the door of the iron box and put the thread into the keyhole.
It was naturally impossible to open this lock with a head wire, but Jiang Xia Liu knew people, and he held the head wire in his hand and turned it gently. He could clearly feel every collision after the head entered the keyhole, and with the structure of the lock, Jiang Xia suddenly knew it well.
After knowing the internal structure of the lock, Jiang Xia took out a thin iron wire from his arms and bent it, and then poked the wire in. With a slight hook, only a "click" was heard, and the iron door opened.
Jiang Xia smiled and opened the iron door, and four packages wrapped in brocade cloth were neatly arranged inside. Jiang Xia casually took out one and opened it and looked at it, from the Yunnan Cheng Xuan Political Secretary to the political envoy to the Yongning Prefecture Governor's cashier receipts.
That's it, Jiang Xia smiled slightly. He pulled out a cloth bag from his bosom, put away all the ledger papers, and immediately jumped out of the window and left.
Finally left Taifu, Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief, now that the time is too late, the city tower has been closed, just wait for the city gate to open tomorrow and get out of the city gate, he can fly away with the evidence, and when the time comes, the soldiers and horses will be transferred to arrest all the people involved in it one by one, and the whole thing will be done.
Of course, the premise is that it can survive tonight.
After Jiang Xia left the Taifu, he ran all the way back to the Yin Mansion, he entered the Yin Mansion after a few pages, and as soon as he walked to the door Jiang Xia felt that there was someone at the door, and it was two breaths.
Jiang Xia's whole person was on guard, he approached the door step by step, and when he gently pushed the door open, he heard the people in the room whispering: "Brother Jiang, it's me."
"Huh?" the candle in the room lit at once, "Brother Han Zhongbin?"
In the room, Han Mufeng was sitting at the table, and Zhong Bin was leaning on the edge of the bed, his face was a little pale. Jiang Xia excitedly walked over and grabbed Zhong Bin's hand and said, "It's great to see that you are still alive, I know that good people don't live long and will last for thousands of years, and if a person like you doesn't live a hundred years, it is simply against the laws of science." ”
"The laws of science?" Han Mufeng rolled his eyes, this must be the dialect of Jiangxia's hometown again.
Zhong Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said a little weakly: "You are not dead yet, how can I die." ”
Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin were used to joking with each other, so they didn't mind his words, he reached out and pressed Zhong Bin's pulse, and now the pulse was not beating strongly, which was obviously a phenomenon of excessive blood loss. Jiang Xia asked with concern, "How, is the injury very serious?"
Zhong Bin shook his head and said: "After recuperating for so long, the injury has already healed, but the internal injury still needs to be recuperated for a period of time, I'm afraid it will have to be warmed with the best medicinal materials within at least half a year." ”
"Don't worry, these herbs are mine. Tell me, how did you meet?" Jiang Xia asked.
Zhong Bin glanced at Han Mufeng, he had never liked to talk much, so he motioned to Han Mufeng to talk about the specific situation at that time. Han Mufeng said: "Actually, it is not difficult to find Zhong Bin, he has carved the special secret mark of Dongchang everywhere in his hiding place. I found it as soon as I went. ”
"It seems that you have already guessed that I will come to you with Brother Han, the kid is quite clever. Jiang Xia said with a smile.
Zhong Bin glanced at Jiang Xia and said lightly, "I only thought that Han Mufeng would come." After saying this, a look of emotion flashed in Zhong Bin's eyes, but that look only flashed, and then Zhong Bin's face returned to normal. A cold dead man's face.
Han Mufeng suddenly saw the black bag Jiang Xia was carrying, his eyes lit up and he asked, "You have a harvest in Taifu?"
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Luckily, the account books of the four major salt merchants are all here." At this time, as long as the officials up and down Yunnan are involved in this matter, none of them will be able to escape. ”
"But we are now in Yongning Mansion, and the three of us alone can't help those local snakes. What should we do next?" asked Han Mufeng.
Jiang Xia smiled slightly: "It's very simple, wait for dawn." ”
In fact, there was no need to wait for dawn, the two guards guarding the study that night woke up and immediately reported the attack to Wei Youcai.
Wei Youcai, who was still asleep, was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard that there was something wrong in the study, and he immediately got up and rushed to the study. took out the key to open his iron box, and the empty iron box suddenly made Wei Youcai stunned, and the key in his hand fell to the ground.
"Immediately notify the three major salt merchants to come to my study, send people to guard all the exits of Taifu, no one is allowed to go out, and give an inch of search for each place. In addition, I will ask the prefect to come to the house to discuss important matters, so be quick."
After saying the last sentence, Wei Youcai seemed to have suddenly exhausted all his strength, he stood in place, his body suddenly shook, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, he pressed the desk and didn't really fall down.
The guards who followed the "master" were a little worried about Wei Youcai's body, and Wei Youcai suddenly roared angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze?
The guards immediately dispersed.
After a while, the other three major salt merchants in Wei Youcai's study also came. The four of them discussed for a long time and couldn't come up with any clues, when someone suddenly shouted: "The prefect has arrived, and the thousand households have arrived."
The four major salt merchants all stood up, and there was a big mess at the moment, and no one had a chance to save the situation except for the intervention of officials. Moreover, the prefect of Yongning Mansion is a member of the fourth grade, and the thousand households of the Yongning Thousand Households are also the fifth grade, and they are the officials who hold military power. Therefore, the four major salt merchants did not dare to have any grip in front of these two people.
The prefect Wang Shujun and Yang Gangming walked into Wei Youcai's study together. The four major salt merchants saluted the two of them in unison and said, "See Lord Wang, Lord Yang." ”
Wang Shujun waved his hand and said with some annoyance: "I don't know people for a day or two, these false gifts don't have to come, let me ask you, is there something wrong with the account book?"
The four major salt merchants suddenly didn't dare to speak, and the other three looked at Wei Youcai together, meaning that you made up this matter, and you should carry it yourself.
Wei Youcai's body trembled slightly, he closed his eyes and nodded, "That's right, all the account books of our four major salt merchants have been lost. ”
"You" Wang Shujun's whole body also shook, no one knows better than him how important those things are. Those things are not a life, but the lives of thousands of people up and down in Yunnan, an official hat, and countless thousands of family wealth
Although Wang Shujun was already mentally prepared when he came along the way, Wang Shujun was still hit hard after being confirmed by Wei Youcai at this moment. He took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have any clue who stole this ledger?"
"I guess it must have something to do with that Jinyi guard from Jingshi. "Wei has a way of wealth.
"Nonsense!" Wang Shujun finally couldn't help but scold, and Yang Gangming, who was standing beside him, said: "Forget it, my lord, now that the situation is urgent, it is best to find a way to remedy it." ”
"Hmm. Wang Shujun nodded and said, "Fortunately, your response is quite timely, and it is not too late to remedy it." The ledger was lost in the middle of the night, so at least it is certain that the person and the ledger are still in the city.
Wait a minute, and I will order that the gates be closed today, and that no one will be allowed to enter or leave the gates. Then I will bring all the people in this Taifu to the yamen, and I will interrogate them one by one. In addition, immediately inform the other salt merchants in the city to pay attention not to lose their ledgers again. ”
"Yes," the four salt merchants nodded in response.
The pot exploded in Taifu, and no one knew what was happening, but they knew that there were officers and soldiers and Taifu's guards who had put the entire Taifu under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
At the same time, Taifu also sent a lot of people to inform the other salt merchants in the city and let them pay attention. As the largest salt merchant in Yongning Mansion, Yin Tianhao was naturally the first to receive the notice.
After receiving the notice, he immediately ordered all the guards of the Yin Mansion to be summoned and asked to take strict precautions.
When he returned to his room after arranging a qiē, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Xia sitting in his room drinking tea. Yin Tianhao frowned and asked, "Fu Qin, is there something wrong with not resting so late to find your father?"
Jiang Xia looked up at Yin Tianhao, and he said with a smile: "Master Yin, let's officially get to know each other today." My surname is Jiang, and my single name is a Xia character. The identity is the Daming Jiaofang Si Jiupin Fengluan, the champion of the Golden Branch, and the emperor came to Yunnan to thoroughly investigate the salt tax corruption case. ”
After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and revealed the words "If I am coming" on it, Jiang Xia's face suddenly changed, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Bold Yin Tianhao, this word is the emperor's own inscription, seeing the words is like seeing the emperor, you still don't kneel down when you see it?"
Yin Tianhao was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously knelt on the ground. Jiang Xia nodded with satisfaction, and he asked Yin Tianhao, "I'll give you a chance to live, do you want it?"
ps: I owe a more Ming'er to make up, a little thing has not been dealt with today, forgive me
