Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Liu Zhengde, governor of Liu, happened to be at home, and he was very shocked when he heard the report from his servants that a group of soldiers had broken into the mansion.

He stood up abruptly and asked, "Do you know who took the lead?"

The servant replied: "Master, we have never seen each other, and we don't even know each other."

Before Liu Zhengde gave any orders, Gu Yu had already led people into the main courtyard hall,

Liu Zhengde was very angry at this time, "Who are you? Who let you break in. This is the governor's mansion, hurry up and run wild in my house, be careful that I will make you eat and walk around."

Gu Yu said: "We are Prince Jing's subordinates, Liu Zhengde, don't you know what crimes you committed yourself?"

As soon as Gu Yu waved his hand, two soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Liu Zhengde.

Liu Zhengde was already in doubt, but when he heard that it was Prince Jing, he was even more shocked, "Can Prince Jing arrest people at will? Can Prince Jing frame good people at will? I am wronged, and I don't accept it."

Said that Liu Zhengde was about to break free, but the soldiers who came this time were not ordinary soldiers, they were all soldiers who had undergone rigorous training, and all of them were skilled, so Liu Zhengde had no chance of escaping at all.

After a while, all the people in Liu Zhengde's family were brought under control.

Xiao Yilin did not go to see Liu Zhengde immediately, but took Jing Yi into Liu Zhengde's study.

Xiao Yilin said: "Jing Yan, Gu Yu and I didn't find any problems last time, you can take a look again."

As soon as Jing Yi entered the study, she noticed the bookshelves in the study. The secret room in Zhao Kui's study was behind the bookshelves. If there was a secret room in Liu Zhengde's study, it was probably behind the bookshelves.

Jing Yi looked around and found that there was an altar beside the bookshelf, and a small Buddha statue was enshrined on the altar.There are a lot of offerings such as melons, fruits and snacks on the table.

This is a study room, not a Buddhist hall. It would be awkward to look at a Buddha statue.

Jing Yi came to the altar, looked at the Buddha statue, and then started to move the Buddha statue.

This move did not move, Jing Yi had a plan in mind.She turned the Buddha statue hard, and the bookshelf next to it immediately popped up, revealing a gap.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yilin's eyes lit up and immediately stepped forward to check, and pushed the bookshelf away without much effort, revealing a wooden door behind the bookshelf.

Jing Yi saw that the wooden door was also locked with a big lock, the same as Zhao's.

Jing Yi stepped forward to take out the silver hairpin and opened the lock with two or three strokes.As the wooden door opened, a secret room behind the wooden door was revealed.

Jing Yi wondered if the ancients liked to build secret rooms in the study?

"This brother-in-law and brother-in-law have similar hobbies. They both like to build a secret room in the study."

But this secret room disappointed them, there was nothing in it except a few valuable jade articles.

Looking at the almost empty secret room, Xiao Yilin frowned and said: "It is recorded in the ledger that Liu Zhengde is the most greedy for ink, and almost half of the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court for the relief of the victims went into his pockets, so he must have other places to hide things.

If Liu Zhengde's corrupt property cannot be found, then he can only be accused of condoning his brother-in-law's corruption.There's no way he could be convicted of this crime.And he will fight back.

The distribution of spoils and corruption of ink by other officials were all through Zhao Kui, and Liu Zhengde was never found.If Liu Zhengde puts all the blame on Zhao Kui, saying that Zhao Kui forged the account books, then we will become very passive.We must find his greedy property. "

Jing Yi said: "Zhao Kui's charges must be firmly established, try him first, and try to open a breakthrough from him."

Zhao Kui's house was taken by Feng Zhi.Jing Yi told him how to open the secret room in the study, so Feng Zhi found the secret room smoothly and counted all the treasures inside.

Of course Zhao Kui was dismissed and sent to prison.

At the same time, the mansions of many officials in Jiangzhou Prefecture are experiencing the same thing.The common people in Jiangzhou Prefecture felt that something was wrong, and they all stayed at home and dared not come out, fearing that something might happen.

The school lieutenants of Jiangzhou Prefecture's army were also brought under control, and Xiao Yilin's men directly took over the few troops in Jiangzhou Prefecture.

Xiao Yilin ordered Gu Yu and others to seize the time to interrogate Zhao Kui, and must get from him the hiding place of Liu Zhengde's embezzled property.

After interrogating Zhao Kui, several officials were drawn out, but Zhao Kui insisted that his brother-in-law was not involved and knew nothing about his actions.

Zhao Kui wants to bear all the crimes by himself.Because he knows that only if his brother-in-law does not fall, he can hope to live.

Liu Zhengde also bit back and said that he didn't know what his brother-in-law did, and insisted that he was just and honest.

This time, more than half of the officials in Jiangzhou Prefecture have been imprisoned, and the situation in Jiangzhou City is turbulent.With such a commotion, Liu Zhengde's hidden property must be found, otherwise they will not end well.

Jing Yi also felt that Liu Zhengde must have hidden the money elsewhere.

Governor Liu and his family members were all sent to prison, and Xiao Yilin also confiscated the governor's mansion, and had people clean up the main courtyard as a temporary place to work and live.

Xiao Yilin's people searched all over Liu's house, but they couldn't find the place where Liu Zhengde hid his belongings.

Gu Yu came to report the situation and said: "This Liu Zhengde can really hide things. We searched the entire Liu Mansion but couldn't find anything. Could it be that the things are not in the Liu Mansion?"

Xiao Yilin shook his head and said: "With Liu Zhengde's cautious temperament, it is unlikely that he would put such a large amount of property elsewhere. It should be in Liu's residence."

Jing Yi also felt that Xiao Yilin was right.

Jing Yi also lived in the main courtyard, and she usually wandered around Liu's residence, trying to find out where Liu Zhengde hid his belongings.

She saw that the rockery in the courtyard was very distinctive, but felt that it was a bit incongruous to build such a rockery in the main courtyard.

Jing Yi's heart moved, and she looked around the rockery.

After careful inspection, she found that there was a stone in the rockery that was a little smooth, and the color was a little different from other places.If you don't look carefully, you really can't find it.

Jing Yi touched it with his hands, and then tried to see if he could move the stone.Jing Yi made such an effort, the stone really moved.Suddenly, there was a sound from the rockery. A rock on the rockery moved its position, and a hole was exposed underneath, and there were steps extending downward from the hole.

Jing Yi shouted excitedly: "Brother Xiao, come quickly."

Xiao Yilin, Gu Yu and the others all came to the yard when they heard the movement, and they all saw the hole leaking from the rockery.

Gu Yu was amazed, "This must be where Liu Zhengde hid his things. This old thief is really cunning. My lord, I'll go down and have a look first."

Feng Zhi said, "I'll go down with you."

Xiao Yilin nodded, "Be careful when you go down, there are traps."

Gu Yu walked down the steps first, followed by Feng Zhi.
