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

Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi were waiting at the entrance of the cave. After a while, Feng Zhi ran up excitedly, "There are several rooms under the prince, and the doors are locked. There must be something inside."

Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi looked at each other, and they walked down the steps together.

It took about twenty or thirty steps along the steps before going down to the bottom ground.

Gu Yu has already lit the oil lamp in the basement, and the situation inside is clear at a glance.

Below is a basement. There are rooms on both sides of the passage, but the rooms have doors, and the doors are locked by big copper locks.Without further ado, Jing Yi became a locksmith again.Soon the door of a room was opened.

Xiao Yilin and the others were not disappointed this time. The room was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and antique jade articles.Given Liu Zhengde's family background, it is impossible to have so much property, so it is conceivable how these things came about.

Jing Yi opened the doors of other rooms one after another.There are also all kinds of treasures inside.Gold and silver alone filled two rooms.

Gu Yu looked at the gold, silver and jewels in the room and sighed, "They are really greedy. They ransacked Liu's and Zhao's houses, so they won't have to worry about the relief funds for the victims."

Xiao Yilin gritted his teeth in hatred when he saw the gold, silver and jewels in the room, and said in a cold voice: "These dogs are drinking the blood and eating the flesh of the common people. It is not a pity for them to die."

Jing Yi glanced at the treasures in the room, and found several ledgers and some letters in a small box on a shelf.

Jing Yi read the content of a letter and her heart beat faster, "Brother Xiao, come and see, here are some letters."

When Xiao Yilin heard Jing Yi's words, he immediately walked over, took the letter from Jing Yi's hand, and read it.

The more he watched, the angrier he became, and the more he watched, the more shocked he became.These letters turned out to be letters between Liu Zhengde and his second brother Kang Wang Xiao Yimao.He read several letters in succession.

Judging from the contents of the letter, this Liu Zhengde had already taken refuge in King Kang Xiao Yimao.What Liu Zhengde searched was not only the money in the secret room, but also sent a lot to Xiao Yimao.

Xiao Yimao not only asked Liu Zhengde to help him search for money, but also asked him to monitor the movements of Huizhou Mansion and assassinate Xiao Yilin if he had the opportunity.

Xiao Yilin's hand holding the letter trembled a little.This is what he usually looks like as a kind, humble and polite second brother, but this is his true face in private.

Xiao Yilin's eyes turned red, and he muttered to himself, "I was so stupid before."

Jing Yi understood Xiao Yilin's feelings very well. Her brother had someone assassinate him behind his back, so no one would feel good if he found out.

But the royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, how many people in the royal family have true feelings.

Jing Yi persuaded: "Brother Xiao, don't be too sad. Now that you know the true colors of some people, you should go further. We arrested Liu Zhengde, which is equivalent to killing one of King Kang's minions, so that he will be less It must be a big blow to him. It can be regarded as paying him back. What are you going to do with these letters?"

Xiao Yilin shook his head, "I haven't figured it out yet. I'm in a mess right now."

Jing Yi said: "If you don't hand in these letters now, when Liu Zhengde's matter is settled in the future, it will not be so powerful after a long time. If you don't take it out now, then don't take it out again in the future. But it can be used as a handle to threaten King Kang."

Xiao Yilin looked at Jing Yi and said, "I will think about it."

The other guards in disguise also returned to Xiao Yilin at this time, and Xiao Yilin asked people to count the belongings in the secret room, and all other assets of the Liu family were also confiscated.

All the properties confiscated by the Liu family were packed in large boxes and gathered in the yard.The large courtyard of the main courtyard is almost full of boxes.It can be seen how much the Liu family has been greedy for, and how many people have been looted.

Although Liu Zhengde's family background is not bad, but these assets are obviously not in line with his status.

In addition, some ledgers and letters were also found in the secret room, and Liu Zhengde's charges were firmly established.

As long as Zhao Kui has a record of accepting bribes, all other officials in Jiangzhou Prefecture were arrested.A large amount of property of unknown origin was found in the homes of most of the officials.

Some officials couldn't resist the torture and quickly confessed, and they confessed a lot of things.

Every time Xiao Yilin read the statements of these officials, he was very angry.Most of the officials in the Jiangzhou government are already in the dark.

Zhao Kui has bribed these officials with money for so many years, and has achieved the purpose of corrupting them.The purpose is also to let these officials stand in the same boat as him.

Some officials began not to accept money bribes, so Zhao Kui searched for beauties everywhere, and then used beauties to corrupt some officials.

Zhao Kui investigated the tempers of the various officials in the Jiangzhou Prefecture very clearly, and then targeted their weaknesses. There were few ways to escape Zhao Kui.The main reason is that Zhao Kui was backed by Liu Zhengde, and some officials who refused to accept Zhao Kui's bribes were punished by Liu Zhengde or demoted.

Even if these officials did not leave Jiangzhou Prefecture, they were gradually marginalized, and gradually lost real power in Jiangzhou Prefecture.So the entire Jiangzhou Mansion was controlled by Liu Zhengde and Zhao Kui.

Jiangzhou Mansion has also become a place where they spend their money as a dominance, and the people of Jiangzhou Mansion have become the targets of raids by Liu Zhengde, Zhao Kui and others.

The officials of the Jiangzhou Prefecture also collected additional taxes in various names, and the common people could not resist the government and could only obediently pay the taxes.All the collected taxes went into the pockets of Liu Zhengde and others.

Xiao Yilin showed no mercy this time, as long as anyone who had accepted bribes was arrested and thrown into prison, after interrogation one by one, all confessions were signed and affixed.

Jing Yi didn't mix with Xiao Yilin and the others later on, and she had nothing to do when she stayed in the Liu Mansion, so she used the big kitchen of the Liu Mansion to prepare delicious food for everyone.Anyway, the Liu Mansion has a lot of high-end ingredients, and it would be a waste if they don't eat them.

Gu Yu and Feng Zhi couldn't help but smile when they ate the delicious food made by Jing Yi again. Feng Zhi said happily, "Finally, I can eat Dr. Chu's food again. This is what people eat."

Xiao Yilin was in a bad mood these two days and couldn't eat anything, so Jing Yi thought of ways to cook him some delicious meals.

Eating more delicious food can also help regulate your mood.

Xiao Yilin looked at the several dishes on the round table, and the fragrant chicken soup, and then at the little girl looking at him expectantly in front of him, Xiao Yilin felt relieved and became much better.

Thinking about his own anger, those who have committed crimes don't know it, even if they know, they will only gloat and never really care about him.Instead, he worries those close to him.

In order to make him happy, the little girl made so many delicious food and spent a lot of effort to make him happy, why is he still angry.

As the little girl said, getting angry is punishing yourself with other people's mistakes, it's not worth it.
