Zhao Yushi thought she had listened to the advice, but he didn't expect that she still refused to let them down, and saw that the lives of these two people were about to be lost.
"Uh huh..." Magistrate Liu began to speak.
Mu Qianyu lazily raised his eyelids: "Are you going to tell me?"
Magistrate Liu nodded wildly.
"Bang!"
The next moment he fell to the ground, coughing crazily.
Mu Qianyu's eyes were filled with impatience.
"I don't have the ledger with me, but I remember the amount of spiritual stone smuggling in the past thirteen years. I can write it down." Magistrate Zhao said while coughing.
He is just a small prefect. After so many years of living a comfortable life, he is still afraid of death.
Mu Qianyu waved his hand and used a formation to cover him, cutting off the eyesight and mental power of outsiders.
As her strength has improved, her formation skills have also improved, and commonly used formations can be arranged almost casually.
Seeing Magistrate Zhao come down, Boss Qian couldn't stand it anymore. He finally saw that this kid really dared to kill people.
So when he expressed his willingness to write silently, Mu Qianyu also covered him in the formation with only one purpose, which was to prevent them from seeing each other's content.
"You'd better pray that what you remember in your mind is consistent, otherwise, you will all die." Mu Qianyu said calmly.
Zhao Yushi felt that he didn't look like a businessman, but like a bandit.
The two of them finished writing at basically the same time. Mu Qianyu glanced at it and saw that the numbers were the same, but this number made her tremble with fear and stunned her.
In the first year, 1.1 billion spiritual stones.
In the second year, 1.5 billion spiritual stones.
In the third year, 1.8 billion spiritual stones.
…
In the thirteenth year, eight hundred million spiritual stones.
From more and more, to gradually less and less, and the reason for the decrease is definitely not the discovery of these people's conscience, but... there are fewer and fewer spiritual stone mines, and there will naturally be fewer spiritual stones that can be smuggled.
Over the years, people have taken away almost 20 billion spiritual stones. 20 billion. Daxuan's annual tax revenue does not even amount to this amount.
This may be the first time she has heard of such a large amount of money in such a long time.
Zhao Yushi was watching from the side, also dumbfounded.
Mu Qianyu looked at him: "Mr. Zhao, how could such a big thing be discovered only now?"
"The governor of Hanzhou was probably complicit before. Officials of all sizes in Hanzhou were involved, and even the border guard Zhou Bai was probably involved." Zhao Yushi said with shame.
Hanzhou is a border land, and Zhou Bai is the younger brother of a concubine of the previous dynasty, so he has always been a dominant family. Even the prime minister and Yushitai dare not come to investigate casually.
"No wonder Daxia was able to occupy Hanzhou in such a short time when it sent troops. It turns out that everything was completely corroded." Mu Qianyu frowned slightly and handed the two letters of confession to Zhao Yushi and said: "Go back to Beijing and report to the Prime Minister, give them to me.
Investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that no fish slips through the net."
She was too angry.
The officials of the entire state have been corrupted, and it is not the people of the state who are suffering. The tens of thousands of miners are working hard for these people, and who will take care of their parents, wives and children.
This is what she saw, what she didn't see in the previous thirteen years, how many people had died in the mine, and how many people had died in Hanzhou's officialdom who were unwilling to join in or discover their secrets.
No one took care of these grievances before, but now, she takes care of them.
When Zhao Yushi heard that she gave the order smoothly, he was about to agree immediately, but before he agreed, he looked up blankly, looked at Mu Qianyu, and said: "I will naturally take care of my affairs. I don't need you, brat."
Come to teach me?"
"Uh..." Mu Qianyu got a little carried away just now and forgot that he didn't reveal his identity now.
She had no intention of deliberately concealing her identity. It would be more reasonable for her to preside over such a big event, but now she has a new idea.
She was not willing to let this huge sum of 20 billion go out of Dazhou like this. She had to find a way to get it back, and the prerequisite was that she could not alert the snake.
"My lord, what you said makes sense. I am excited and out of patriotism. You must understand." Mu Qianyu said with an apologetic smile.
Zhao Yushi nodded: "For the sake of you helping me get this confession, I won't argue with you."
"Thank you, sir."
"Then what should we do next?" Zhao Yushi had unknowingly regarded Mu Qianyu as his backbone.
"Re-examination." Mu Qianyu said and looked at the two of them again: "Tell me, where was the spirit stone transported?"
Boss Qian was so frightened that he lost his soul. When he heard the question, he immediately said: "It has been transported to Daxia and handed over to the city lord. The city lord will transport the spirit stone to the imperial city."
"Just tell me, how much do you still have on hand?" Mu Qianyu asked.
"I just gave it once the day before yesterday, and now there are...three million..." Boss Qian replied.
Mu Qianyu's breath froze. Is there any difference between this and a piece of cake?
Zhao Yushi felt extremely regretful when he heard this. The money flowing into the Daxia Dynasty would definitely not be able to be recovered.
"Master Zhao, please immediately write a letter to General Yuan Peng who is stationed at the border, asking him to send troops to quietly control the officials in question and prevent them from spreading the news."
"Then you rush to the imperial city to ask the Prime Minister to conduct a thorough investigation in secret." Mu Qianyu said.
These words were so coherent that Zhao Yushi couldn't help but nodded.
"It's useful for me to take this man away." Mu Qianyu pointed at Boss Qian and said, "Please also ask Mr. Zhao to help you."
"That's not possible. This is an important person who has contact with Daxia. I will give you this clue." Zhao Yushi shook his head immediately after hearing this.
Mu Qianyu thought for a moment and said, "In this way, the Prime Minister and I also know each other. I will give you a handwritten letter to take back, which can be regarded as an explanation of this matter."
"This..." Zhao Yushi still shook his head.
Mu Qianyu scratched his head, this scholar is really stubborn.
She pulled the person outside the formation and whispered: "Master Zhao, do you know why I am helping you?"
"Why?" Zhao Yushi asked directly. He indeed did not see Mu Qianyu's position.
"I am sent by the Prime Minister to secretly assist you. This is a token of trust for the Prime Minister." Mu Qianyu said and took out a jade pendant.
Zhao Yushi had never seen this jade pendant before, and he didn't know if the Prime Minister believed in things, but he just felt that what she said was not a lie.
"If you take the jade pendant and my letter back with you, the Prime Minister will definitely know about it." Mu Qianyu said in a sincere and affirmative tone.
Zhao Yushi nodded in confusion: "Little brother, I believe you and I will do as you say."
"Your Excellency, you are so wise." Mu Qianyu had an expression of admiration on his face.
"Serving the imperial court, ministers should do their best until they die." Zhao Yushi said seriously and righteously after being given a high hat.
Next, Mu Qianyu asked the locations of all Daxia hidden stakes in Shacheng, and asked Yushi Zhao to report them directly to Yuan Peng.
It may be that there have been no flaws in the smuggling for more than ten years, and also because of the recent strict inspections of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are only three hidden piles, which is very easy to control.
