Xie Yixiang immediately searched around in the yamen of this Chilong Town, but found nothing, and he didn't know where the cool liquid on his head just now was dripping from. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although she was puzzled, at this moment, she had to give up for the time being, and seize the opportunity to continue reading those official documents about local taxes.

Continuing to look at this, Xie Yixiang suddenly found a lot of new clues, except for the fire consumption that was just discovered, which was extremely unreasonable, but even the total tax amount of this Red Dragon Town was extremely strange. Regardless of the amount of taxes paid in previous years, the taxes paid to the imperial court last year alone, this Red Dragon Town actually reached as much as ninety percent of the targets issued by the imperial court.

You must know that Xie Yixiang has seen a lot of customs and customs in Jiangxi along the way, and knows that the livelihood of the people in this area is not rich, coupled with the great drought in Huguang last year, under the disaster of pond fish, Jiangxi's harvest is also miserable, and many places have even applied to the imperial court for relief. However, in this small part of Chilong Town, in this year of disaster, it was able to complete ninety percent of the imperial court's tax target last year, not only did it not decrease at all compared with previous years, but the total amount of taxes paid increased instead. If you can pay taxes as usual in a year of great drought, anyone who is reasonable can see that there must be something wrong with this.

What's more, according to the current practice of the imperial court, the tax quota promulgated by the various localities every year only needs to be paid 80 percent by the end of the year to be qualified, unless the local officials are bent on being promoted, why do they need to pay as much as 90 percent? Could it be that this is the mayor of Wu Town, who is "reincarnated in the blue sky", once again using his own property to paste it upside down, thus exceeding the tax payment of Chilong Town? For a while, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but marvel at the vast power of Mayor Wu, and hurriedly skimmed through all the other useful official documents, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn. Although the other official documents are not as obvious as the tax payment, they also faintly reveal that the situation in this Red Dragon Town is very different from other places, and there must be something hidden in it.

Xie Yixiang has been secretly visiting this Chilong Town for more than a month, and she has long been deeply suspicious of this strange town, and now she has found so many unreasonable things in the official documents, which are actually what she expected. Whether it is the fire consumption or the total amount of taxes, now that these official documents can be seen by themselves, it is okay, is it possible that the entire imperial court and even the high-ranking emperor have not been suspicious of the governance of this Red Dragon Town?

This is absolutely impossible, there are many people in the court today, and the emperor is an extremely intelligent person, since the situation in Chilong Town is so unreasonable, they naturally already know it in their hearts, but why should they endure it so far? With Xie Yixiang's understanding of the current emperor, the emperor's suspicious and suspicious heart, and his angry and murderous Hades temper, what reason can make the supreme emperor tolerate this small Chilong Town so far?

At that moment, Xie Yixiang had to continue to check with a stomach full of doubts, and after another stick of incense, he had already seen the last few useful document drawers. I saw that these drawers were labeled with the label of "Chilong Town Chronicle", and when Xie Yixiang opened all these drawers, he suddenly gasped.

It turns out that the so-called "Chronicles of Chilong Town" in these drawers are records bound with the standard of "year", and a little estimate shows that there are as many as 1,000 copies! Two of the drawers are still filled with bamboo scrolls, and the events of the pre-Qin period are actually recorded in small seals.

Seeing that these official documents are distinguished by years, one can imagine how long the history of this Chilong Town is. What's even more remarkable is that these histories have been so well organized and stored here. Faced with the many records in the drawer, Xie Yixiang didn't know where to start for a while, could it be that he had to check it year after year? Hearing the sound of roosters crowing in the deep alleys in the distance, he didn't know it was actually the fifth watch, and from this point of view, he still had to find a way to delay with Mayor Wu and them for another day or two, and leave it to tomorrow night to peruse these official documents.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang was about to close the drawer, but she heard the unprovoked sound of chaos on her waist, and then with a "whoosh" sound, she jumped up more than an inch from the scabbard. Xie Yixiang was shocked, and hurriedly pulled out the knife in his hand, and said secretly in his heart: "The chaos given by the master is always spiritual, and at this moment, it is unprovoked to come out of the sheath on its own, and there must be danger around it." So she circled out a circle of light with a chaotic talisman, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is sacred?" Why don't you dare to show up? ”

However, in the faint light of the oil lamp on the table, the neat back hall of the yamen was empty, and there was no trace of any enemy? Xie Yixiang broke out in a cold sweat on his vest, and the drop of liquid that had just dripped on his head was already strangely tight, and at this moment, the spiritual chaos was out of the sheath by itself, and it can be seen that in the seemingly calm back hall of the yamen at the moment, there must be a danger hidden that he cannot see.

This time, Xie Yixiang carefully inspected the entire back hall up and down, inside and out, and even jumped on the beams of the roof, but still didn't find the slightest. Fortunately, Xie Yixiang had planned to end tonight's inspection for the time being, and in this case, he didn't dare to look at those official documents, so he had to carefully close the drawers marked "Chilong Town Notes" and prepare to return to the court to rest.

However, at the moment when she was about to leave, she didn't know whether she was reminded by the five words "Chronicles of Chilong Town" on those drawers, or forced by the danger hidden in the back hall of this yamen, Xie Yixiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and said secretly: "Among the records left by the dynasties, the so-called notes are actually ordinary words. And those events that were really important, or had a major impact on the situation at the time, often did not appear in the record for future generations to know because of the taboos of those in power. ”

For a while, Xie Yixiang didn't know where she came from, and immediately thought: "So right now, in these drawers marked with 'Red Dragon Town Chronicles', no matter what kind of records there are, they are actually not important at all; ”

Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang was excited, where could she still take care of the hidden dangers in this back hall? She hurriedly turned back, reopened the drawers marked "Chilong Town Notes", and carefully counted all the notes in them according to the year, and sure enough, there was a new cashback.

It turns out that among the thousands of records in the drawer, from the pre-Qin, Chu and Han dynasties, to the last year after the founding of this dynasty, 1,147 of them, each year has a corresponding record stored, but only a recent "Chilong Town Guisi Year Chronicle" is missing. As for why only one year is missing from the account of thousands of years? The reason for this is obvious, and it is natural that it was deliberately ruined by others, and he did not want the content of this year's account to be seen by others.

Xie Yixiang calculated a little, and immediately knew that the missing year notes in these drawers happened to be eleven years ago.
