Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 246

The master struggled and only said one word before he died. He said, "Someone wants to kill me and frame the embezzlement of disaster funds on the head of the county magistrate!"

In the sleeves of the couple, two blood-stained daggers were also found, the blades of which coincided with the scars on the master's body!
The fire case is indeed related to the disaster fund!

Before Wu Danqing could ask any more questions, the commander-in-chief of the elite soldiers immediately reported the background of the couple.

The couple had not moved to Qi County for a long time, just at the beginning of the drought, other than that, no one knew where they came from and what relatives they had!
If the master's death was really done by this couple, then all of this should have been planned from the very beginning, so what kind of scheming and meticulous mind does the leader who embezzled the disaster funds have?
If the master's death was a bitter trick of abandoning his pawns to save his handsome man, then all of this, as he thought before, was all a play written and directed by Qi County Prime Minister!
The county magistrate's family didn't die at all!After they burned the scapegoat to death, they fled overnight!

Wu Danqing ordered people to take away the place where the husband and wife lived. There was only half a piece of broken ancient jade, which could barely be exchanged for some money, but there was nothing else of value.

The clues to the fire case were concluded at this point, and the group had no choice but to leave Qi County and go to Yi County, the most affluent county in Yun County.

When they arrived in Yi County, Wu Danqing and his party did not go to live in the county magistrate Yang Hong's house, but only booked a small inn, and five thousand elite soldiers guarded the inn closely.

Every day, people come to the inn day and night, begging to see and crying, although Lu Boqi ordered them to disappear, but he has already sent his secret agents to understand the people's sentiments.

From our understanding, Yixian County is comparable to the barren Qixian County!Rice merchants sold grain at high prices in the face of drought, and countless people became rich overnight.

Lu Boqi conducted a secret investigation and found out that Yixian County does not actually have much grain. This place is rich, mostly driven by the jade mining industry. Although there are not many places that are really suitable for growing grain, the grain produced in Yixian County is self-sufficient every year. Most of the rice merchants’ grain is high-quality rice produced in other places. The usual price is slightly higher than the rice in Yixian County, and most of them are bought by wealthy families.

However, this year's rice merchants are uncharacteristically. When the disaster funds are allocated to Yun County, rice prices in various places are rising rapidly.

Don't the rice merchants know that the disaster funds will be directly exchanged for food and distributed to each family?Or, are the rice merchants already aware of the current situation, so they will be confident?

After Lu Boqi told Wu Danqing all the analysis, the two came to the conclusion tacitly that the collusion between officials and businessmen in Yun County has reached an outrageous level.

On the third day after arriving in Yi County, Wu Danqing finally walked out of the small inn, and dispatched 1000 of the [-] elite soldiers, and asked Lu Boqi to take the elite soldiers to discuss rice with the rice merchants one by one.

And he built a platform on the open space at the entrance of the street. Anyone who knows about the disaster funds can come to the stage to complain. He also called more than a dozen people to record everything the common people said word for word.

Yang Hong was forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, and sent people to invite Wu Danqing and Lu Boqi many times, but Wu Danqing refuted them all.

Even the magistrate of Yunjun, who had been calm all the time, couldn't sit still when he heard such news, and immediately wrote a letter to be secretly sent to the mansion of Gao Taifu and Minister of Rites in the capital.
