With this letter in hand, Xu Nianmin cannot escape the charge of "collaborating with bandits". This alone is enough to kill his entire family!
"Besides silver, what else is there?"
Lin Xu pondered for a moment and asked.
"There are also a lot of jewelry and silks. In addition, there are dozens of warehouses of food, most of which are fine grains. If we eat sparingly, it will be enough to feed our village for several months! These blood-sucking locusts,
We don’t do anything on weekdays, but we eat so well! People in our village work in the fields all year round, but they don’t even have enough to eat coarse grains! What the hell is this world like!”
Xia Dahai said angrily!
"Come on, take me to see it!"
Lin Xu patted Xia Dahai on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, sir, I'll show you the way!"
Xia Dahai walked a few steps and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, sir, didn't I just follow that guy to look for the silver notes that Xu Lun had hidden? There were 5,600 taels of silver notes in total, and they were all dug out.
Yes! In addition, I also found a booklet, which seems to be an account book! However, none of us can read, so we don’t know what the important content is written on it, and we don’t dare to let others read it!"
"Ledger?"
Lin Xu's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised: "Dahai, you have done a great job, you must have this sense of confidentiality!"
"hey-hey......"
Xia Dahai was very happy to receive Lin Xu's praise. He touched his head and smiled honestly.
Although it was already night, the entire Juyi Hall was brightly illuminated by torches. Except for food and other items that were difficult to transport, most of the seized materials had been piled here.
Xia Dahai specially arranged a team of soldiers to guard here to prevent anything from going wrong.
"Sir, here is the bank note and the booklet!"
Xia Dahai picked up a finely crafted wooden box and handed it to Lin Xu with both hands.
In the wooden box, there is a stack of banknotes on the top and a blue-covered booklet below!
Lin Xu first picked up the booklet and after flipping through a few pages, a smile immediately appeared on his lips.
This booklet not only records in detail the amount of stolen money that the Xiaoyangshan bandit received each time he harvested grain and robbed passing merchants, it even clearly stated the amount of money he gave to Jiangling County officials every year!
There is a long list of officials. In addition to the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief secretary, the dianshi, the county captain, the shop owner, and even the Yi Cheng are all on his gift-giving list!
Originally, Lin Xu felt that although Xu Nianmin was the head of a county, the officials under him were definitely not vegetarians. It would be difficult for Xu Nianmin alone to handle the matter of "collusion between officials and bandits"!
It’s impossible that Xu Nianmin is the only one who eats meat, and the others can’t even drink soup!
Seeing this account book at this time, he secretly thought, as expected!
This is a scam!
It can be seen from this incident that Jiangling County’s officialdom is in bad shape inside and out!
In fact, Lin Xu also knew that Jiangling officialdom was very corrupt, but he didn't expect it to be so corrupt!
These silverfish have completely lost sight of the country and the people's livelihood. They are only thinking about how to make money. They can even do things like "collusion between officials and bandits"!
As the saying goes, "You can tell the whole leopard by looking at one spot." Since the officialdom in Jiangling County has become so corrupt, how can the officialdom of the entire Daning Dynasty be any better?
Thinking of this, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
"Sir, is this a ledger?"
Xia Dahai asked curiously.
"That's right, it's a ledger! Dahai, you have made great contributions, and I will reward you heavily today!"
Lin Xu patted Xia Dahai on the shoulder and said with a smile. This chapter has been completed!
