The delicate beauty was spoiled by four older brothers after her rebirth

Chapter 203 The Jeweled Belt

Bai Xianyu recalled that day when Hai Shi came here, he was hesitant to speak, and then he lowered his head and turned a few pages. In [-] and [-], there were no qualified people in Bandung.

Zhang Wanshan bent down to watch her finish, and said with a smile: "Miss, do you have any questions? The villain must know everything without saying anything!"

Bai Xianyu said, "Has anyone touched these things?"

Zhang Wanshan shook his head resolutely: "No, who would touch these things? The villain has been working here for decades, and there are only a few people in the borrowing list. In the past ten years, you have only checked it out." He asked cautiously: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the pearls sent?"

Bai Xianyu shook his head, put down the brochure, "No."

On the other side, in the county guard's mansion, Xiao Zheng sorted out all the transcripts collected in the past two days, and had someone transcribe and bind them into a book and put them on the table.

Xie Xingyun held a wolf hair in his hand, and his handwriting was strong and powerful. After finishing writing, he drew a circle after the last sentence on the paper.

"My lord, my subordinates have already checked, and all the contents of the suicide note are true." Xiao Zheng clasped his fists and said, "Jiang Huaiyu did embezzle part of the disaster relief funds, about 5 taels of silver."

Bai Jingyuan frowned, if it was a false accusation, it would be fine, but what was written in the suicide note was true, committing suicide for 5 taels... Two concubines appeared again and admitted that they had murdered.

He had never encountered such a bizarre case.

Xie Xingyun put down his pen, and said lightly: "Then there is only one question left, where did the money go?"

The kneeling official said in disbelief: "I have never seen Mr. Jiang spend a lot of money. Even the county guard's mansion is well-built. Many people with lower official positions than him build richer ones than Mr. Jiang. The two My lord, there is definitely something wrong with this account!"

Bai Jingyuan raised his head slightly, "The evidence is convincing, so there is no need to talk about it."

Xie Xingyun was silent for a moment and said, "What cases has Jiang Huaiyu handled in recent years?"

Another official answered: "My lord, please give me some time, and I will go and tidy up."

The man nods.

"Have you checked the accounts in the Sheriff's Mansion?"

Xiao Zheng took out a book and handed it over, "It has been clarified, all expenditures are consistent with the above records, the balance of the warehouse and the tone are also correct, and all assets under Jiang Huaiyu's name have also been counted, all of which are in this book. "

Bai Jingyuan took it and took a look. The expenditures and other uses were clearly written, but there was no trace of 5 taels.

"Hai Shi and others have also finished their interrogation. Jiang Huaiyu should have nothing to hide."

If it is arranged in advance, why commit suicide? Wouldn't it be superfluous?
If it was not suicide but arranged by the murderer in advance, why did the murderer leave this suicide note to let them discover the misappropriation of public funds?If the murderer didn't leave a suicide note, they would leave Liangzhou in a few days, and this matter would not be revealed. Isn't this a suicide attempt?
No matter how you look at it, it is superfluous.

If it wasn't arranged in advance, it meant that the money wasn't spent on him.

Bai Jingyuan asked: "If it's not to satisfy selfish desires, then...why?"

Xie Xingyun had a deep meaning, "He is not a person who is obsessed with interests, nor is he lustful or gambler. The elders in his family are well-off and prosperous. Under what circumstances would such a person be short of money?"

Bai Jingyuan thought for a second, then narrowed his eyes slightly, "For example, the kindness that I can't afford?"

Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows, and added, "Or... an evil debt."

Bai Jingyuan's pupils narrowed slightly, "So you guess it's related to the cases he took over before?"

"En." Xie Xingyun said slowly, "Guess."

It is very likely that the money was used on the people involved in the case.

Bai Xianyu left the director's territory and walked along the Fu River, many fishermen had already started casting nets to catch fish, and the big boats in the distance turned into black spots the size of sesame seeds.

Several fishermen are having breakfast on board.

Bai Xianyu stood still and took a look from afar. Everyone was eating at about the same time. Bai Li and Lu Zhu followed behind her, and there were several teams of guards standing guard not far away.

On a boat, a little girl with shofar braids said in surprise, "Mother, look quickly, those two big sisters are so beautiful, especially the big sister in the white skirt."

The fisherwoman ate her meal, looked at Bai Xianyu and her party and said, "Our girls are good too."

The little girl glanced at the flesh on her body: "That sister is so thin, I don't want to eat anymore, I want to be as thin as her."

The boy squatting on the other side laughed and cursed: "Hurry up and eat, this rice is not cheap, many people can't afford it, you little girl, why lose meat."

A man came out of the boat and sat next to them. He seemed to be their father, "If you don't eat it, then don't eat it. Dad didn't have food when you were your age. All he ate was bark grass. Gen, when I grow up, I can barely eat until I can catch fish. There were so many people at that time, and the fish in the river couldn’t afford to support so many people. In addition, there have been constant floods these years. I don’t know how many people starved to death, you still don’t eat!”

The little girl almost cried fiercely, biting her chopsticks aggrievedly.

Bai Xianyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Luzhu glanced at her young lady's face, thought it over and said: "Who is the young lady looking for? How about talking to the young lady and the maidservant, and the maidservant can help the young lady think about it?"

Bai Xianyu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Bai Li."

Bai Li stepped forward, "Miss."

If the directory was indeed tampered with, then nothing can be found here, and all evidence must have been wiped out.

But pearls are rare objects. Every large and round pearl has to be fished in the sea at great risk. Therefore, the origin and whereabouts of each pearl are recorded, and those that can be used can also be used. They are all people with heads and faces.

For example, the more pearl divers gather, the more rewards she can get. For example, Hai Linger has 53 pearls written on the back of her name.

If someone once picked pearls and was erased from this list, the pearls he collected would not disappear for no reason... The total number of pearls sent to various dignitaries and dignitaries from here is real and cannot be erased quantity.

"You go to Zhang Wanshan again, check the list of Bandung eight or nine, one by one, find the people who have received these pearls, and then send people to their houses to check. Be sure to check carefully. If there is any deviation, you must Let me know right away."

Bai Li nodded.

Bai Xianyu fixed his eyes, "Lu Zhu, do you still remember the first time we entered the Sheriff's Mansion?"

Lu Zhu nodded, "I remember."

"A servant woman walked by with a belt that day, do you remember what it looked like?"

Lu Zhu recalled that when she first entered the Sheriff's Mansion that day, there was indeed a woman in a hurry passing by with a belt inlaid with many precious stones, very luxurious and a man's style.

"Yeah, servant girl remembers."

Bai Xianyu smiled slightly: "You go back now and lead someone to look for this belt."

"Why?" Luzhu was a little puzzled, "Is there anything special about this belt?"

Bai Xianyu said: "Look for it first, if you find it, tell me if you can't find it."

Lu Zhu nodded and went immediately.

Bai Xianyu stood on the shore for a while, and waited for Bai Li to arrange the things she had told her before walking west with him.

In the Sheriff's Mansion, the officials who went to investigate took a piece of letterhead and saluted, "My lords, I'm done looking for the officials!"

Xie Xingyun took the letterhead in his hand and read it one by one.

It records in detail the time when the case occurred, the details of the case, and the time when the case was resolved.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, "I'll go out for a while."
