Chapter 500 Waiting for the rabbit

Ying Wu glanced at Shen Ruyi and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a person."

Is it appropriate for a prince like you to do this? However, Ying Wu could only complain in his heart.

Shen Ruyi: "With skills, you never have to worry about food and drink. Having many skills is never a burden. Do you understand?

Hurry up and get to work finding evidence. I want to legally arrest Prefect Qin and put him in jail before tomorrow."

The dark room leads to the underground.

Shen Ruyi was afraid that there might be hidden weapons or something, so she picked up a book and threw it down.

Seeing that there was no problem, he went down.

Wow, this dark room is made of stone and there are quite a lot of things in it.

There were about forty or fifty boxes of silver and gold alone.

Not to mention various other precious calligraphy and paintings, jade, and cultural relics.

Shen Ruyi also found a box of banknotes.

When we were almost at the end, we saw tribute items such as Xiangyunsha and Fuguangjin.

I opened all the boxes around and took a look. Hey, they were all filled with this kind of things.

This is interesting. The government can only collect a few of these things in a year.

As a result, in the mansion of a prefect, boxes of them were thrown around randomly.

Jiangnan is a prosperous place, so today's trip is considered safe.

At this time, Ying Wu came down with a box and said in a low voice: "Master, the evidence of the crime has been found. There are letters between various parties, as well as transaction ledgers, bribery ledgers, etc. It is no problem to confiscate the property and exterminate the clan ten times."

"That's good. Look here. It's all the people's blood and sweat. The tribute is almost piling up like a mountain."

As someone close to the emperor, he knows much more than Shen Ruyi in some aspects.

Ying Wu looked around and said, "There are a lot of contraband here, and many of them are beyond his authority."

Shen Ruyi: "Okay, take this box of banknotes and go check outside and try to restore the places that have been touched.

I'll see if this darkroom has any other darkrooms."

"it is good."

Shen Ruyi knocked and hammered again, but found nothing this time.

After returning to the inn, I asked Yiren to find useful core information in the letters and sort out and organize the key points.

Manju and Xihe were responsible for reorganizing and sorting out these account books.

Shen Ruyi and Ying Wu hurriedly started eating as they were almost starving.

But Manju and Xihe were furious when they saw the buying and selling of official positions, collusion between officials and bandits, forcible abduction of women, and occupation of other people's wives.

Prefect Qin recorded everything clearly in the account book, even including the year, month and day.

It's really rampant.

The bribe he accepted did not mention the specific person's name.

Instead, he made a separate list of the people who had not bribed him and put a big red "x" on each name.

He remembered clearly the bribes and money he had given out.

There are also matters related to intercepting tribute, which are all recorded in a separate volume.

This is a talent.

After Ma Agate finished calculating his abacus, he muttered, "There's also a booklet that only lists incoming payments, but doesn't specify what they are for. The turnover is enormous.

The total amount is a whopping 260 million taels, so why does it look like some kind of mine?"

Afraid that I had missed something, I sorted out these account books again.

"People's first instincts are always the most accurate. Since you've made that guess, it's probably pretty close."

After Shen Ruyi finished speaking, she drank her tea and started thinking, who can she use here, who does she dare to use?

After some research, it seems that Huang Tongzhi's position is not very clear at the moment.

Before leaving, the young prince mentioned that Liu Tongpan here was one of the emperor's own men.

But when Shen Ruyi looked at the situation here, she felt that it was not quite like that.

Otherwise, how could Prefect Qin not know about such a serious problem? Shen Ruyi didn't believe it anyway.

I picked up the letter and started reading it.

See if you can use the process of elimination to select the person.

Shen Ruyi hadn't read many of the letters yet, and Yiren's online photos had also been sorted out.

"Ruyi, the real master of Prefect Qin is the Ming Palace, and we carried out this assassination attempt under the instructions of the Ming Palace.

The person they really want to kill is you. The letter deliberately blurred your true identity, saying only that you are the son of a businessman.

I gave Prefect Qin the wrong information, and he made sure to kill you here."

The current Prince Ming is considered a cousin of Your Majesty.

The former prince of the Ming Dynasty survived the battle for the throne unscathed because he was honest, had no aspirations, and was not ambitious.

He was also the only person during the previous emperor's time who was granted the title of prince by the previous emperor because he did nothing and did not do anything to harm the previous emperor.

The old Prince Ming enjoyed the treatment of a prince but had no fiefdom, and he stayed in the capital for his entire life.

Their palace has always served as a mascot and has been excluded from power.

The same was true after Prince Ming of this generation took over, and he always played a small and transparent role.

Shen Ruyi thought about it again and said: "But, I have never dealt with the Ming Palace, and I don't remember ever offending them.

Besides, the Prince Ming's Palace is not very noticeable in the capital, and it hasn't made much of a splash. Instead, rumors about Prince Ming's extravagant life of wine and women are flying everywhere.

Even though I had never offended him, he ordered people to get rid of me.

Does it mean that my existence has ruined some of his good things and forced him to do this?

Could it be that because of my involvement, one of his people was stripped of his official position? Did I accidentally break his arm?

Or did he have some bigger plan, and I unknowingly ruined it?"

At this point, Shen Ruyi immediately said: "Ying Wu, tell the emperor to send someone to investigate the Prince Ming's Palace.

Maybe his debauchery and extravagant lifestyle are all fake.

Since it is not a personal grudge, it must be a national affair."

"Okay. So, what about what's going on here?"

"Speak, and tell me I intend to arrest Prefect Qin and send him to the capital for trial."

"Okay, so when do we act?"

Shen Ruyi: "Let's wait for news from Ying Jiu before making a decision. Let's see if any other big fish pop up during this period."

Only at this moment did Shen Ruyi feel a little regretful. Why didn't she coax the two eagles that had exchanged food with her back home when she was in the mountains?

Otherwise, you can have more reliable and efficient messengers.

Life was so comfortable back then that I didn’t expect this. I miscalculated.

Then I looked at the network relationship tree diagram.

Since Huang Tongzhi and Liu Tongpan are not mentioned above, the credibility of these two people is half.

As Yingjiu didn't come back for a long time, he sent Yingwu to help keep Prefect Qin under control.

Yingjiu didn't come back until after dinner.

When Prefect Qin returned home, he was so furious that he couldn't even walk.

He no longer cared about anything else and sent a letter directly to the bandits he had kept in captivity in the mountains outside the city.

Let them send Shen Ruyi and his group to hell at three o'clock tonight, killing them first and then burning them.

I plan to use an unexpected flood to conclude and characterize the matter.

Prefect Qin's original words were, "There is nothing that a big fire can't solve."

Of course, I said it viciously and emphasized it on purpose.

Shen Ruyi should be chopped a few more times before being burned to death. She must not die too easily.

"Currently, Ying Wu is watching over Prefect Qin."

"Okay, I understand. Yingjiu, go eat first."

Shen Ruyi then said to Manju: "To be on the safe side, Sister Manju, you all should move to Qiuju Courtyard."

"it is good."

Yiren: "I'll go arrange some personnel, and we'll wait and see and catch them in the act.

"Ah."
