Chapter 108 Books
In the afternoon, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and looking at the sky, there might be a heavy rain today.

There was news from Linchuan.

He Lingjiang took the note from He Zheng's hand and unfolded it, looking at the content on it, showing a really such look.

She left Linchuan for only two or three days, but Sun Juncheng encountered various accidents, no less than four times.

When I walked to the door of the restaurant, I was almost hit by a flower pot that fell from upstairs.Walking on the road, suddenly a frightened horse came straight at him...

Fortunately, Sun Juncheng has already prepared the manpower here, so the other party has not yet succeeded.

He Lingjiang squinted his eyes: "Have someone to protect Sun Juncheng."

After a few minor accidents, I don't know if the opponent will be dangerous in the next step, and they will assassinate them without regard.

As the second-in-command of Linchuan County, Sun Juncheng has a record of bringing down two immediate bosses one after another. If he wants to successfully investigate this private mining case, he must mediate with everyone in the officialdom.

If Sun Juncheng was not there, and there was no one in the He family now, to investigate this case would not only be an unknown teacher, but also might be constrained by officials in Linchuan County and even Jiangzhou.

At this time, his safety is especially important.

He Lingjiang took advantage of the name of Xunshi to go around the mining area for a day, but the supervisor showed no other abnormality.

Day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was night.

Now that it has been ascertained that there are people who are mining copper and iron ore privately, the next step is to find some evidence.

From the description of the official, he must know about the private mining of copper and iron ore and participate in it.

As a mining supervisor, it is necessary to record the daily mining output truthfully in the record. This is a public account.

However, what about private mining?

Naturally, people also need to record.

This kind of clerk who has stayed at the bottom for many years is often more slick and sophisticated. Since he takes such risks to help others, it is impossible not to leave a way for himself.

Liu Yuan naturally would not write to him and fall into the limelight.

But when the supervisors perform their duties as supervisors and are good at arithmetic, what else could be clearer and more beneficial than an account book?
What He Lingjiang was looking for was the private account of the little official.

She left the Liu family's yard at night, and the entire mining area was silent.

"How is the person?" she asked Qingzhu who was beside her.

"Someone was secretly looking for the supervisor, and guard He took someone to follow." Qingzhu replied.

Is there going to be movement?

He Ling Jiang nodded, turned her feet slightly, and walked towards the house of the supervisor.

Just after walking a few steps, I saw a figure standing in front of me, almost blending into the dark night.

He coughed lightly, implying his presence.

It's Pei You.

He Lingjiang looked at him and asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

Pei You raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to send me to do something if you don't mention the doubter?"

However, he had been in the carriage for a day, but he did not see that He Lingjiang sent someone to look for him. Only when He Zheng got the news, he went to follow the little official and left him here.

"That's right." He Lingjiang looked at him with a faint smile, "I'm about to steal something. If so, why not go?"

Prince Pei might not be willing to go to such a small thing.

"Office of the supervisor?" Pei You did not refuse.

He Lingjiang nodded.

"Then go together."

This time, it was He Lingjiang's turn to be surprised. In fact, he didn't need so many people to steal things.

Pei You saw that what she said just now was just a joke: "Do you know where the ledger is hidden?"

"I don't know."

"That's it. If you go as many people, you can find it as soon as possible. After all, you and I don't know when the little official will come back. It's better to make a quick decision."

Since he didn't mind, He Lingjiang naturally had nothing to say.

The two sneaked into the yard of the little official all the way, and Qingzhu hid in the dark, watching the wind for the two of them.

In the mining area, everyone's accommodation is simple, even the supervisors and mining officials are only a small yard, each with a study and a bedroom.

He Lingjiang was the first to push open the door of the study, leading to the oil lamp on the table.

The layout of the study is extremely simple, but there is a desk with a chair, and the desk is full of paperwork.

She and Pei You didn't say a word, and went to check it in the study, but they turned it upside down, but they couldn't find the account book He Lingjiang wanted.

"Go to the bedroom and have a look." He Lingjiang frowned.

The two restored everything in the study to their original state, then turned off the oil lamp on the desk, and went straight to the little official's bedroom.

Pei You knelt on one knee on the ground and touched the bed sideways. With a click, a hidden grid that collapsed fell to the ground.

He Lingjiang, who was searching on the side, turned around and looked: "But there is something?"

Pei You nodded and took out a booklet from the partition under the bed.

It turned out that this little official was afraid that people would find out, so he set up a secret compartment on the back of the bed and hid the booklet in it.

He Lingjiang took the booklet and looked under the lamp, only to see that it was densely filled with accounts.

On the fifth day of March in the seventh year of Chengyou, a private mine in the north of Nanshan Mine produced [-] and [-] catties of copper and [-] and [-] catties of iron.

On the tenth day of March in the seventh year of Chengyou, a private mine in the north of Nanshan Mine produced [-] and [-] catties of copper and [-] catties of iron.

……

From the spring of the seventh year of Chengyou until now, every five days, the copper and iron ore mined in private mines has been privately shipped out of the Nanshan mining area through the arrangement of the supervisor.

It has been eight years since Chengyou, about one year, roughly calculated, the copper ore shipped out is 15 jin, and the iron ore is even more huge.

Not to mention copper, this million kilograms of iron ore is nearly one-tenth of the annual mining volume. After refining, it is polished into iron, which is not a small amount.

It would be fine if they were brought into the treasury by the imperial court, but now they are all scattered outside, and many were sold privately to Bei Di.

I can't complain that Pei You is not far away, so he has to make this trip in person.

When Pei You saw the number above, his eyes became even colder: "The soldiers in the north are guarding the territory, throwing their heads and pouring blood, but never imagined that there are people from the country who will send the swords that can cut off their heads into the country. in the hands of the enemy."

He sneered, and there was a bit of killing intent in his tone: "Oh, it's really good."

The King of Zhenbei's family has been guarding the northern border for generations, and the soldiers under his command have followed the Pei family to death for many years.

It was He Lingjiang, who also had some murderous intentions towards the person behind this.

It's just that the private mining of iron ore and the sale of iron utensils is not something that Liu Yuan can handle as a county governor. I just don't know who the "strict management" mentioned in this account book is, and he has another relationship with Liu Yuan. what does it matter.

"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the shrine again." He Lingjiang told Pei You about the relationship between Liu Yuan and the shrine.

Pei You's eyes were slightly deep: "No matter who it is, if this matter is found out, I will have to ask the saint to give an explanation to the soldiers in the north and the people of the world."

There was a light sound outside the door, and it was Qingzhu who was reminding that the little official was back.

He Lingjiang hurriedly put the account book in her arms and reached out to turn off the lamp on the table. Just as she was about to open the door and go out, she heard the sound of footsteps entering the yard.

He Lingjiang frowned, going out at this moment, he would definitely collide with the little official.

She swept the bedroom, it was very simple, there was really no place to hide.

He Lingjiang pulled Pei You down and rolled into the bed.

Pei You frowned slightly, and had no choice but to hide in.

The bed was not big at all, and when Pei You hid it again, it suddenly seemed to be stuffed up.

He Lingjiang frowned slightly, but when he heard a "squeak", the door opened.

Then, the lights in the room turned on again.

A pair of feet, step by step, walked towards the bed and stood still.

Then, the owner of the feet will lean down.

He Lingjiang couldn't help holding his breath, widening his eyes, looking at the pair of feet that were close at hand, and a hand that was slowly hanging down.
