The moon was crescent, and when a few people returned to the ruined temple, it was already dusk in the middle of the night.
Everyone was sitting in the courtyard, but no one wanted to talk.
It is obvious that the case is now at a stalemate. The officials used various reasons to avoid seeing them, and the long-term workers and supervisors harassed and drove them away when they saw them, hitting them with mounds of earth and stones to make them
There is no way to properly investigate the case.
Fang Wu sighed and said: "I knew from the beginning that this case was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but I never expected that we were actually derailed by the other party's unilateral rejection."
She had a sad look on her face and her eyes rolled around, as if she was wondering if there was anything she could do.
Zhou She said: "Well, isn't that Zhang Wei willing to help us? Let him continue to work, and then lead him out to supervise the work, and bring the supervisor back for questioning."
No one else needed to say it, Qin Sihan told him directly, "No. You can't make a move by subduing it." This method is not impossible, but it leaves too many opportunities for people to take advantage of in the later stage.
Therefore, this method is a last resort, and it is really not necessary at this time.
"It's because my subordinate is incompetent," Zhou She said.
Qin Sihan patted him and said nothing. He turned the wheelchair and rolled around in the yard. For a while, the only sounds in the yard were grunting.
"If we don't go to the fields, let's see if we can find other ways to get to Changgong's house," Fang Wu said.
"This is a way." Bai An also agreed.
Starting from the direction of long-term workers and starting from the direction of officials are the only two options for this case.
After Bai An finished speaking, everyone just nodded and found the map of the town and looked through it.
Suddenly, Fang Wu raised his head and looked sideways at Tan Sihan who was driving the car in the yard and said: "By the way, Mr. Qin, the young master said before that he would find a way to check the town's annual harvest and where the harvest goes, but the results have been achieved."
Fang Wu was really a little strange. After Qin Sihan came back, he was sitting in a wheelchair, spinning around in the wheelchair. He was not really lame, so wouldn't it be troublesome?
Qin Sihan said nothing and looked at Zhou She.
"I'm afraid I'm going to ask Eunuch Bai about this matter. Brother Bai has arranged for Eunuch Bai to settle down," Zhou She said.
"Go and invite him. Your Majesty asked him to come and serve me. It's good for him. He hasn't seen anyone since he's been resting for a whole day." After hearing this, Qin Sihan rolled his eyes and ordered.
Zhou She hurriedly responded and retreated.
Fang Wu had no choice but to turn to Ji Xuan and said: "Master, I think we can't just watch the long-term workers do their work. We still have to find a way to meet these officials."
Ji Xuan nodded.
"I don't know where Mr. Wang is. Why don't you send him a letter and ask him to meet the officials with whom he has close personal relationships in other ways to see if he can learn anything?"
After a while, Fang Wu raised his head, looked at Ji Xuan and asked. She looked at Ji Xuan crookedly with bright eyes, subconsciously making Ji Xuan stunned.
Ji Xuan looked at Fang Wu, and it took her a while to realize what she was talking about. She just said, "Okay, I'll write to Wang Qi to see if there is anything I can do."
Seeing that Ji Xuan agreed, Fang Wu nodded and could only stay like this for the time being.
"Who is asking questions in Yancheng town on weekdays?" Tan Sihan suddenly asked.
"It's Xu Wei." Bai An looked at the case file and said.
"What are you doing?" Several people were stunned. It seemed like this was the first time that this person appeared in everyone's ears.
Never heard of it before.
"Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and Ren Ye are colleagues. They basically work together in the government office," Zhang Xuan said. He had heard of this Xu Wei, who basically didn't care about anything other than the political affairs under his command.
Many Chinese officials had little friendship with him, and there was no mention of this person in Ren Ye's life.
However, these two people were in the same yamen and could not see each other when they raised their heads and looked down. How could they not have seen each other? Therefore, this is indeed doubtful.
Qin Sihan nodded, expressed understanding and continued to ask: "Is this Xu Wei the first person we have posted today?"
"Yes." Ji Xuan said.
Qin Sihan didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that he went around again. People in this officialdom are all old foxes. They heard the news and couldn't hide in time. How could they wait for them to come and ask questions?
"By the way, is this Xu Wei related to Xu Kun?" Bai An suddenly asked.
"Xu Kun?" Everyone present was stunned, looking at Bai An with eyes.
Under the stars, under the moonlight, the candlelight was swaying. Bai An stuttered a little when he saw it, and scratched his head unconsciously, then licked his lips and said: "Yes, part of the land in this town hangs on Ren Ye.
The other part hangs on this Xu Kun."
Probably because this Xu Kun has no sense of existence, no one has any memory of him.
After Bai An said this, no one responded for a long time. It was obvious that no one knew the answer.
Fang Wu came to his senses and searched for the lives of the two people in a pile of case files.
All I could hear was the rustling of books,
"No, these two people just have the same surname." As he said that, Fang Wu shook his head and said.
Qin Sihan came over and picked up two copies of his life. He looked at the two faces and saw nothing.
He still said: "We have to find a way to meet these two people, or their families, maybe we can learn something. This is the only way to save the country."
There is really no way to get any visible information from long-term workers and officials. Therefore, we can only start from the edges.
Fang Wu nodded and said, "Excuse me, sir. I'll find a way to find out the addresses of these two families. They're not written down in my biography." She looked at Tan Sihan and said helplessly. She didn't know why the Yamen didn't record such a thing.
It's a strange thing to say.
Qin Sihan nodded, clapped his hands, and a man fell from the sky, kneeling with his back straight.
"Find out where these two people are." As he said that, Qin Sihan handed the two people's lives to the person kneeling on the ground.
The man took it and looked at it twice, then handed it back to Qin Sihan and disappeared into the yard.
At this time, Zhou She and Eunuch Bai entered the yard one after another and held their hands towards Tan Sihan. The latter bent down and took something out of his sleeve and handed it to Tan Sihan.
Qin Sihan opened it and took a look.
There are a total of 10,000 shi of grain, which are divided into three parts every year, one part is sent to the capital, one part is shared equally by the officials, and one part is sent to the market outside or sold in restaurants.
Ten thousand shi is what half of the people of Daman use in a year.
Qin Sihan looked at it and gave it to Ji Xuan. Then he turned to Eunuch Bai and said, "Tell your master about this and ask him to see what Daman's officials look like."
Eunuch Bai hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, I have already reported this matter to Your Majesty."
How could he not tell His Majesty about such a big thing? This is not one stone, two stones, but ten thousand stones.
I don’t know how many officials will be affected, and I don’t know how many His Royal Highnesses are involved, or whether there are others involved.
