Following the layout of a general government office, they quickly found the prefect's study. Taking advantage of the moonlight outside the window, I carefully rummaged through the study.

Shen Jia groped for the things in the study bit by bit. When he touched a vase, the secret door opened with a click.

When Xiao Yichen heard the noise, he quickly picked up something on the table and threw it in. When he saw that there was no hidden weapon, he pulled Shen Jia in.

Shen Jia took out the luminous pearl from his pocket and looked at the entire darkroom carefully.

There were several large boxes in the darkroom, one box of valuable calligraphy and paintings, two boxes of gold and silver jewelry, one box of banknotes, and several account books.

Shen Jia counted the banknotes and found that there were more than 100,000 taels. She took all the banknotes away and used them to repair the river.

Xiao Yichen casually looked through a few account books, which recorded evidence of collusion between government and businessmen, as well as bribes sent to the capital. Unfortunately, it was recorded that the person who received bribes in the capital was an official who was attached to the Duke of Zhen, which could not hurt the bones of the Duke of Zhen. .

In fact, both of them knew very well whose pocket the money ended up in. Unfortunately, the Duke of Zhen was too cunning. He always had a group of younger brothers charging ahead for everything, but it was also good to kill his two younger brothers. Xiao Yichen handed over several account books Take them all away.

Shen Jia went to the kitchen again and put some laxatives in the water to ensure that they would not enter the darkroom before the arrival of Jiangnan Chief Minister.

In fact, if they knew where the prefect lived, it would be better to give him medicine directly, but they were new here, and there were so many yards in the backyard of the government office, and there were also many concubines of the prefect of Pingzhou. They didn't know where he stayed, so they could only give him medicine. In the backyard water tank.

After leaving the backyard of the prefect, they went directly to the wealthy merchant's house. After walking around on the roof, they accurately found the wealthy merchant's study room.

They found out in the afternoon that this wealthy businessman was involved in all walks of life, including salt, water transportation, restaurants, theaters, dental shops, gambling houses, brothels... Anyway, he ran anything that made money.

The rich merchant's study room is very large, but there are not many books in it. Instead, there are many famous paintings hanging on the walls, and they are all authentic. Every painting will amaze the world.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen slowly groped in the study, but could not find the switch. Neither of them believed that a wealthy businessman would not have a dark room.

Shen Jia motioned Xiao Yichen to look outside. She took out the Night Pearl and quickly walked around the study room. Finally, she found a painting on a bookshelf. There was a three-finger-sized raised dot in the middle of the painting. Shen Jiafei put it on After pressing it, there was a click, and the door opened.

Xiao Yichen walked over quickly, picked up an object and threw it in. Several arrows shot out.

Xiao Yichen was worried that there were hidden arrows, "Jiajia, I'm walking in front, you follow me."

Shen Jia glanced at Xiao Yichen. Under the bright white light of the night pearl, his features were even more picturesque, like a god's mansion.

Shen Jia raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "Okay!"

The darkroom of the wealthy businessman was much larger than that of the Pingzhou government office, and the two of them looked through boxes one by one.

Shen Jia counted and found that there were two boxes of silver notes, several hundred thousand taels of large-value silver notes, and more than 100,000 taels of gold notes.

There are also several boxes of account books, which record the time and place where a bribe was paid to someone on a certain day, month and year. There are not only the prefect of Pingzhou, but also people from other places, including the capital.

The two took out a piece of cloth from their pockets and packed up the account books and banknotes without hesitation. The banknotes were enough for them to do many things.

After doing all this, they walked out of the darkroom and returned to the inn using Qinggong. The next day, after they got up, they packed their luggage and left Pingzhou Fucheng.

The richest man in Pingzhou woke up in the morning and his right eyelid kept twitching. He felt like something bad was about to happen, so he went to the study and darkroom to check, and found that there were no banknotes or account books inside. They panicked and hurriedly went to the government office to see the prefect. .

The richest man did not expect that the prefect was ill and it was other officials who saw him. He could only vaguely say that the treasury at home had been robbed by thieves and lost his banknotes and jewelry. He did not dare to mention the account book at all. The official knew that the richest man had a good relationship with the prefect and did not dare to neglect, so he immediately ordered the city gate to be sealed and only allowed No entry or exit allowed, the whole city was searched for thieves.

Little did they know that the thief they were looking for was standing on the embankment beside the river.

This embankment obviously showed signs of being newly repaired, but the stones on it didn't look like the stones specially used for embankment construction. Even the wood looked a little weird.

The two immediately set off to a nearby village to secretly visit the surrounding villagers.

Shen Jia saw a middle-aged man walking over with a hoe, and smiled and stepped forward and asked, "Hello, uncle! Excuse me, we brothers came here to play in other places and found that the river water here is a bit turbid. Has the river not been cleared of siltation for a long time?"

The middle-aged man saw that both of them were extremely delicate and beautiful, with extraordinary temperament. They were obviously the children of a wealthy family, and they were so polite to him. He suddenly felt a little fond of him. He looked around and saw no one there. , then whispered: "The blockage has not been cleared for several years."

Xiao Yichen took out a ten-tael silver note from his wallet and gave it to him: "Have you ever been to maintain the river embankment in these years?"

The middle-aged man clutched the banknote in his hand. This was money that he could not earn in a year. The young man in front of him gave it to him. What they wanted to ask for should be materials for maintaining the river embankment. It seemed that they had received it. Feng Sheng said there was a problem with the materials used to repair the river embankment.

This is a good thing. If the river embankment is repaired, he will not have to worry about the river embankment bursting every day when it rains.

The middle-aged man nodded: "I went."

When Shen Jia heard that there was something going on, he quickly hit the snake and put it on the stick, "Can you tell us in detail what materials are used?"

The middle-aged man said: "The materials used are all defective products. The wood is rotten wood that has been eaten by termites, and the stone is broken with a little effort."

Shen Jia smiled and said: "Thank you uncle, please go slowly."

Xiao Yichen frowned, pursed his lips tightly, veins popped out in the fists he held, and angry flames flashed in his eyes.

Shen Jia sighed faintly and held Xiao Yichen's hand: "Don't be angry. You can't pay for being angry."

Xiao Yichen stepped forward and hugged Shen Jia, resting his head on her shoulders: "Jiajia, I'm very angry! These worms, for their own selfish interests, ignore tens of millions of people, damn it!"

Shen Jia hugged him back, patted his back, and said: "Achen, there are thousands of people in this world. Some are for fame, some are for profit, some are for wealth, some are for love, and some are for sex. All means are used.

It's not that they don't know the consequences of such an incident, but they still can't help but break the law, because they all have a lucky heart and think they can hide the truth. However, there is a saying, "The sky is wide and the net is sparse, but it does not leak." If you do something wrong, you always have to pay the price.

These were ultimately attributed to a greedy person. We have no choice but to bind them under the law. Because some people are born bad at heart. Of course these are only a very small number of people. I believe that the vast majority of people in this world are still very upright and kind-hearted. "
