Chapter 49 Night Detective
  Seeing that the lights in the room had been turned off, Shen Jia raised the corners of his lips slightly, lifted up the tiles and sprinkled some poison on them, so that they could have a good feel for the days to come. This is a chronic poison. Starting tomorrow, their bodies will develop rashes, and their skin will ulcerate and die after half a year.

Then he flew to Magistrate Meng's warehouse, took out the hairpin pinned to his bun, and opened the copper lock.

Shen Jia went inside and found that except for some silk and satin, not to mention gold, there was not even silver. Could it be that Magistrate Meng exchanged the gold for silver notes?

There is no real-name system for Dazhou's banknotes, but the bank's logo is printed on the back of the banknote.

There are only two banks circulating in the country, one is Yongfu Bank and the other is Changsheng Bank.

Shen Jia couldn't find anything useful in the warehouse, so he went to the study.

Shen Jia didn't dare to light a fire in the study, so he took advantage of the weak moonlight outside the window and slowly groped around in the study.

I touched it and found nothing useful.

Shen Jia did not give up and touched several bookshelves again. No matter whether it was the books on the bookshelf or the fake ornamental bottles on the bookshelf for show, Shen Jia found nothing unusual.

Shen Jia sat on the imperial chair in the study, holding his cheek and thinking, where did Magistrate Meng's gold go?
  After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't think of it, so she didn't think about it. If she didn't have it, she wouldn't have it. Anyway, she didn't earn it by herself.

Just when Shen Jia was about to walk out of the study, she saw one of the bookshelf protruding a little from the corner of her eye. She had an idea and went back to move the bookshelf away. Sure enough, she found a wooden button behind the bookshelf.

Shen Jia pressed the button, and a bookshelf slowly opened, revealing the dark room inside. Shen Jia lit the book and saw boxes of golden gold inside, which almost blinded her.

Shen Jia looked around and found that it was just a simple small secret room with no mechanisms or anything like that, so he walked in generously.

These golds are large, small, round, and flat, with different shapes, good and bad.

Obviously, Magistrate Meng did not have a professional team to make the gold look like this.

Shen Jia secretly laughed, how dare County Magistrate Meng still dare to open a gold mine privately with this little trick?

Shen Jia reluctantly glanced at the gold in the box, thinking that it would be great if she could have space like other time-traveling women, instead of being so greedy and helpless like now.

Shen Jia crossed several boxes of gold and began to look at several other small wooden boxes. Two of them contained silver notes of different denominations, two contained gold and silver jewelry, and one of them contained a luminous pearl the size of a pigeon egg.

Shen Jia decisively took five large silver notes worth one thousand taels and the Night Pearl.

Inside the last box were several booklets, recording the officials whom Magistrate Meng had bribed over the years, including the magistrate of Wucheng who was investigated and prosecuted after taking office, and the concubine of the loyal and righteous uncle in the capital...

Shen Jia looked at it again and put it back, leaving it to the prefect to deal with.

After resetting everything, Shen Jia left the county government office.

Shortly after Shen Jia left, a man in black also entered the study.

Shen Jia left the county government office and used Qinggong all the way to Landlord Qian's house.

As soon as Shen Jiagang jumped onto the roof, he saw two boys carrying a man out.

No, a dead body to be precise.

Shen Jia's pupils narrowed slightly and followed quietly.

Landlord Qian's house was very big, so Shen Jia followed them around and finally came to a relatively remote yard filled with all kinds of flowers.

I saw them taking out the flower trays from a flower bed and then starting to dig a hole.

"Brother Erniu, I'm a little scared. I always feel so gloomy? Aren't you scared?"

"Of course you are scared because this is your first time carrying a dead body. You won't be scared anymore if you do it a few times."

"What? How many more times do you want to come?"

"If you don't want to be silenced, just keep your voice down."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it, it was too fussy. Here we are two of us. You tell me what is going on? It is not necessary for me to make a mistake and be killed by others. Since you are quite honest, let me tell you! Every year, Landlord Qian goes to various villages to look for good-looking girls aged 12 or 13 to enter his house on the pretext of taking concubines. The concubine gift he gives is fifty taels. , some families who are living a difficult life, whether for money or for their children to live a good life, always have several girls enter the house every year, and these girls without exception die suddenly within three months.

Last year, a family's daughter was tricked into entering the government by her relatives. Later, when the family saw that their daughter had passed away in just a few months, they stopped working and went to the county government to file a complaint. The wealthy landlord sold her to the county magistrate. , they were also beaten. But from then on, no women in Yixian County were willing to enter the mansion. This one was found elsewhere, and it was only a month before she was gone. well! "

"These women are so pitiful!"

"Who says it's not the case? Alas! This is their fate."

"All we can do is bury them."

"Don't blame me! If you want to find someone to settle accounts, go to Qian Landlord. It has nothing to do with the two of us."

"Have a good journey! Remember to be reborn into a better family in your next life."

Shen Jia didn't listen anymore. Landlord Qian waited for the outcome of Magistrate Meng's matter before letting Wei Yuming touch him. This achievement was given to him as a gift to thank him for helping to overthrow Magistrate Meng without hesitation.

Shen Jia flew towards the roof of the room where the light was on.

Because it was his first time at Landlord Qian's house, Shen Jia opened the tiles three times in a row but couldn't find the right person.

It wasn't until the fourth tile was lifted that Landlord Qian was found.

Landlord Qian is about forty years old, with a medium build, delicate features, and elegant demeanor. At first glance, you would never expect him to be such a dirty and cruel person.

The person standing next to him should be the butler.

"Master, we have already asked someone to take care of it. Tomorrow, I will give comfort money to the fifty-two woman's family."

"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing your job. I will go to Yuzhou in a few days to find some beautiful ones and come back. Master, I will give you a big reward."

"I obey, little one."

"Have you found the snake catcher?"

"I found five, but only one was willing to help release the venomous snake."

"The other four are not willing?"

"Well! They say that no matter how much money you have, life is not as important as your life. The one who is willing is a regular customer of our Nanfang. He has sold his wife and children to Ren Yazi, and now he is eager to get money to make up for his loss, so he is not afraid of danger. "

"Give him two hundred taels and let him go to the Shen family in Beili Village tomorrow night to release poisonous snakes. How is Nanfang's business lately?"

"Yes, there are not many people who like to gamble in Yixian County. There are only a few people coming and going. The business is extremely bleak."

"Like before, aim at the target and lure in those who want to make a fortune. I need to teach you what to do with you."

"Yes, I know my mistake!"

"Get out of here if you know you're wrong!"

"Trash! They are all trash!"

Shen Jia lay on the roof and had a panoramic view of this scene. She clenched her fists in anger, and her eyes were boiling with rage. It would be difficult to dispel the anger in her heart without punishment.

She raised her hand lightly and sprinkled the white powder, and Landlord Qian lay on the table and passed out.

Shen Jia glanced around and saw that there was no one around, so he jumped down from the roof and walked in with a big sting.

Landlord Qian's study is much larger than that of the county government office.
