After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

The county magistrate and the warden looked at each other and followed the master to the back hall with suspicion.

As soon as he came in, a close follower brought by Song Zhang brought up a wooden tray. Inside, there were more than a dozen pages filled with dense text and data. There was no cover, as if it had been removed from a large book. a part of.

Inexplicably, the county magistrate and the warden felt nervous and had an ominous premonition.

The warden frowned and looked at the master, "What is this?"

The master was still smiling just now, but at this moment, he suddenly stopped smiling, his face darkened, his eyes widened, and he shouted in a low voice: "You two adults, won't you know if you see it for yourselves?!"

Just a young master, how dare you speak to them like this? The warden's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at him with a sinister look. After all, he couldn't help his curiosity, and reached out to take out the contents of the tray.

At this sight, his hands began to shake uncontrollably.

I glanced through two pages and didn't dare to turn any more. My Adam's apple rolled and I swallowed hard. I raised my head and looked at the master again. His eyes had changed from dissatisfaction to trying to please.

"May I ask Master where you got this account book?"

The master didn't answer, so Song Zhang's follower poured him a cup of hot tea, which he sipped slowly.

The county magistrate looked at the master suspiciously, then looked at the panicked face of the warden, snatched the pages from his hand, and read them all.

The more he looked at it, the paler his face became, but he was much calmer than the warden. After all, his name only appeared twice in this book of accounts.

The rest are all about prisons. From the previous year to this year, there are eighteen pages, and every page is filled with the names of prison guards.

It says that on a certain day, month, year, and time, how much money, cloth, tea, wine, and even the money spent at Pan Meiren’s house were sent to the prison because of someone or something, are all recorded in the book. No matter how big or small, even the tea money paid by the warden for drinking half a cup of tea in the teahouse was recorded.

The county magistrate looked at the trembling warden in shock, "You can't bear to pay for half a cup of tea yourself?"

The warden became angry and retorted: "Don't you charge the money for every meal to the manager of the Jin family? How dare you blame me? I thought you were completely indifferent, but I didn't expect that you also received benefits from the Jin family behind your back." ! In the past, you always held yourself high and treated me like a nose, not a nose, and eyes, not eyes!"

The magistrate sighed, the magistrate's people were still sitting in front of him, now was not the time to argue with the warden over such childish details.

The warden reacted faster than him, and knelt down with a plop, saying that he was also forced to do so. He had an old mother and father, a wife, children, younger siblings, and the government salary was too low. He was so poor that he had no choice but to do so. 'It made things easier for Golden Toad.

The corners of Master's mouth twitched twice, "You make it up, you keep making it up, I believe you, I am a pig!"

The magistrate's focus is different from that of the warden. Since the magistrate asked the master to bring the account book to them alone, it didn't look like he was trying to break up.

Although the county magistrate was a little panicked, he was still calm and asked again what the warden asked before: "May I ask Master, where did you get this account book?"

The pages were still torn apart, so even if they were destroyed on the spot, it would be useless. The original copy was still in the hands of the county magistrate, and he could crush it or crush it, whatever he wanted.

The master then put down the tea cup he was using to show off, stood up and said, "Last night, he suddenly appeared outside my house. I guess the evil people have done too many evil things. This time, he accidentally kicked the iron plate. The good people did something good."

The warden stared, "You are lying to a child!"

Can the Golden Toad's ledger fall from the sky on its own? Did it happen to fall at the door of Song Zhang's room?

The master shrugged. He knew they wouldn't believe it, but he couldn't help it. This was the truth.

The account book was indeed correct, it was him who suddenly appeared at the door of his adult room!

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that when someone sent the account book over, his family was fast asleep and did not notice it at all.

Master wishes this good man a safe life in his heart.

Needless to say, Song Zhang does not mean to clear out the Yamen now.

When he got the account book, his heart dropped when he saw it.

In the entire yamen, no one was left behind, from the small officials and police officers to the large ones including the county magistrate and the jailer.

The involvement is too wide. If this group of people is really dealt with, the entire county government system in Kaiyang County will collapse, and there will be no one left.

So Song Zhang just wants to use the account book to let those who are sensible stand in line, and those who are not sensible, pick a few irrelevant ones and pull them out to scare the monkeys. Soon, the county magistrate and the warden came back from the back hall. Facing the Jin family's eyes that suggested compulsion, both of them walked straight to their respective positions without turning their faces. They clasped their fists at the people in the hall and shouted in unison:

"Everything we do will be decided by the county magistrate!"

The master nodded towards Song Zhang, indicating that the matter was settled.

So, a page of accounts was sent to the Jin family by the servant, who asked if it was the handwriting of their biological father, Manager Jin.

The Jin eldest son subconsciously responded: "How come my family's account books are in your hands?"

Song Zhang: Very good, very smart, saves trouble.

Four officers rushed towards Mr. Yu's head, pushed him down and took him to the hall while he still didn't know what was going on.

Yu Captou looked at the county magistrate in horror, he still didn't know why.

As a result, the other party lowered his eyes and read out indifferently that he had abused his power for personal gain and had accepted bribes from Golden Toad for many years to privately imprison innocent people and release guilty people.

The warden gave the county magistrate a horrified look. It had only been a while, but he had already written down so many charges?

at the same time.

Enter Wangjiazhuang.

Wang Mawu, who also got a volume of the ledger, and Pan Meiren, who had found it, looked at each other, sweating profusely, and furious.

These are the accounts of two escort agencies. However, this escort agency closed down not long after the horse bandits were wiped out in Kaiyang County.

The existence of this escort agency can be regarded as a common secret among the three evils. The horse bandits rob the escorts, and the escort agency collects high protection fees from the merchants and takes risks to escort the goods. The escorts are successful every time. to any benefit.

In the end, the four companies share the profits and the interests are distributed evenly.

At least for Wang Mayu and Pan Meiren, this is the fact.

The horse bandits were finished, and they didn't care whether the leader of the horse bandits thought it was fair or not.

But the account books in their hands now tell them that this is not the case. The so-called balanced distribution actually resulted in an increase of [-]% in the pawnshop.

The two were very angry, and the consequences were serious.

But now, the two of them felt even more trembling as they looked at the mother-and-son account book in their hands.

Wang Mawu took in the cold breath and lamented: "I told you a long time ago that he is an evil ghost. The golden toad will not listen. Now it's better. The three evils will directly become two evils. Then after a while, won't it? Will even these two evils, you and me, cease to exist?”

Pan Meiren, who has never had the opportunity to come into contact with the 'evil ghost' mentioned by Wang Mayu, is secretly glad that what she likes does not conflict with her, otherwise, she might be the next golden toad.

When this happened, Pan Meiren touched her face in horror. Fortunately, her face was still there.

just

"What does she mean by giving us the account book? Is she ready to attack us?"

Wang Mawu rolled his eyes at her, "We didn't provoke her, so what's she doing to kill them all? It's not like she's full."

Taking a look at the account book, Wang Mawu already had an idea in his mind, "Aren't you coveting the Jin family's pawnshop? This ready-made opportunity has been presented to you, don't you plan to do something? The Jin family is greedy for [-]% of our profits. This tone makes me But I can’t swallow it!”

Pan Meiren raised her eyebrows, and the two of them handed a letter of submission to the 'Evil Ghost Empress' to express their feelings.

Kaiyang County still looks as quiet and peaceful as usual.

But people always feel that something has changed
