The general has a cute wife

Chapter 846 Qin Lianyue Was Killed
"I am also an official of the imperial court. With my salary, I should do something to care about people's livelihood. How can I argue with the two of them? Anyway, I will talk about it sooner or later. Don't worry. Besides, I have to do enough tricks." , so that Gray and Qin Mu can believe it, right?"

After leaving the Qin residence, Xiao Jian never went to inspect the conditions of the people. He didn't embarrass the people, but just walked around, and seeing their ragged and skinny appearance made him feel very uncomfortable.

Being treated as a cover for corruption, living such a hard life, I am afraid that everyone who can escape will escape, and the rest will not escape.

Ning Shu took his hand: "You must take care of these corrupt officials, it's too hateful."

Xiao Jiancong nodded, took her around and then went back. In the afternoon, Xiao Jiancong's attendants who had disappeared for several days came back, each of them put down a stack of account books, and Ning Shu stared straight at them.

"I thought they were eating, drinking and having fun these days."

As soon as she said this, she received a few big eyes.

Xiao Jiancong flipped through those account books: "Are they all from the surrounding counties?"

"Yes, the people here can't go out, they are all blocked by the surrounding counties. Every year, Gray will share half of the money given by the imperial court."

Xiao Jiancong sneered: "Treat the common people as cash cows, this group of people are really courageous enough."

The room became quiet, Xiao Jian calmed down: "Can you find out where they hid the money?"

"There is a cemetery twenty miles northwest of Leshui Town. Many people's shady places in Leshui Town are there, and all the money is there. Someone has been sent to watch it, and there is no other way out."

Xiao Jian stood up: "The cemetery? It's really a good place."

He paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to dig in an open and aboveboard manner. After all, the laws of the Qin State stipulated that no one should destroy the cemetery. Otherwise, it would be a felony. This group of corrupt officials took advantage of this loophole to hide the money in the cemetery. .

Just thinking about it, there was a sharp scream outside: "Killed, killed."

They went out immediately, the maidservant ran away a lot, Xiao Jian went to the place where they ran, Ning Shu followed, and Qin Mu and his wife also arrived.

When they reached the door of the room, everyone was startled. Qin Zhenying sat on the ground looking at Qin Lianyue who was lying in a pool of blood in horror, with a pair of bloody scissors thrown at her feet.

Madam Qin cried and rushed over to hug the breathless Qin Lianyue, Qin Mu also turned pale with fright.

Ning Shu clenched Xiao Jiancong's hand tightly, and was also very shocked. Xiao Jiancong looked at it for a while, then turned around and said: "Call everyone who saw this to the main hall, and send someone to invite Mr. Ge here."

After a while, a mother-in-law and two maidservants were brought over, and the three of them were terrified.

Gray also arrived, went to see the scene, and came over with a very bad expression.

He looked at those people and asked, "What happened at that time, tell me quickly."

A little servant girl said tremblingly: "Last night, the second young lady went to the eldest lady's room to cry, and was persuaded by the madam to go back. She was fine this morning, but for some reason, she suddenly took the scissors and went to the eldest lady's room." .”

Another woman said: "The maidservants saw the second young lady rushing into the eldest young lady's room, but they didn't dare to go there. After a while, they heard the quarrel inside, and then"

They spoke very carefully, and Xiao Jiancong's expression was a little playful.

Gray asked: "So, you didn't see how the two of them had an argument?"
