The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 164 Wu Zhenkun Traitor

Butler Wu said while leading the way.

Song Wei raised his eyebrows after listening.

Do I have to see it with my own eyes?

Song Wei didn't know what Steward Wu had discovered, and he wanted to let him see it.

But there is no doubt that Wu Butler's words instantly aroused Song Wei's curiosity.

And Cai Hu, who has been following behind, only now knows what Song Wei is going to do when he comes to Wu Mansion.

It is copying the house.

But Song Wei's raid this time was different from others.

Others ransacked their homes just to give an order, and then a group of government officials rushed in and started searching for things.

And Song Wei not only came by himself, but also brought only himself.

But after Cai Hu thought about it, he realized that Song Wei didn't need to spend so much trouble at all.

The Wu Mansion at this moment is just an empty shell, calling a group of yamen servants over might be a big deal.

The matter of searching for things can be directly handed over to Steward Wu, while Song Wei only needs to know what he found.

"what?"

Song Wei asked curiously.

"This... adults should see for themselves."

Butler Wu said after hesitating for a moment.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but that he doesn't know how to describe it.

Song Wei looked at Butler Wu in surprise, then nodded silently.

"fair enough."

The few people didn't speak after that, butler Wu took Song Wei and the two to the door of Wu Zhenkun's study before stopping.

"Sir, here we are."

Butler Wu opened the door after speaking.

"This is Wu Zhenkun's study room. Under normal circumstances, no one can enter this room, not even the young ones. So after Wu Zhenkun left, the young ones came here to search for the first time, but they found something. .”

Butler Wu explained to Song Wei slowly.

Song Wei nodded slowly, and after entering the study, Butler Wu and Cai Hu walked into the room together.

Wu Zhenkun's study looks like an ordinary study.

At least Song Wei felt that way.

After turning around, Song Wei didn't find anything strange.

"What did you find? There doesn't seem to be anything here."

Song Wei looked at Butler Wu and asked.

"it's here."

Butler Wu said quickly.

He walked to Wu Zhenkun's bookshelf, took out a few books and revealed a box.

The appearance of the box is very delicate, and I feel that what is inside should be a good thing.

And the box also has a lock, of course, now that the lock has been broken, it can be opened directly.

Butler Wu opened the box and handed it to Song Wei.

"My lord, the little things of development are in there."

Butler Wu said.

Nodding his head, Song Wei looked into the box.

There is a book in the middle of the box, of course it is not as simple as a book.

It is the account book of the Wu Mansion.

After Song Wei picked up the account book, the steward Wu next to him said: "This is the account book of the Wu Mansion. As a housekeeper, the young one knows the income and expenditure of the Wu Mansion, and the small room also has an account book, but the small one found After checking this account book, I found that it was different from what I recorded, and the account book that I was in charge of was a part of it."

"Oh?"

Song Wei was surprised when he heard Butler Wu's words.

According to what Steward Wu said, Steward Wu is only in charge of part of the accounts of the Wu Mansion, and what he is holding now is the general ledger of the Wu Mansion.

Song didn't open Wu's account book with curiosity.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, it's startling when you see it.

Starting from the first receipt, all subsequent income and expenditure amounts are frighteningly high.

Even if Wu Zhenkun is in charge of food and salt, it is impossible to reach such a high amount.

Even if the county government hadn't started to rectify Zhen'an County by Song Wei, the income and expenditure would have increased significantly, and the previous ledger would only simply record some expenses.

Even Song Wei is still not as high as the account book of the Wu Mansion.

On average, I earn thousands of taels a day.

Even Song Wei and Song Wei couldn't do it.

How much money does the Wu Mansion have?
Song Wei asked in surprise in his heart.

"My lord, some of the accounts here can be reconciled with the small ones, but those with high amounts and small ones are not clear."

Butler Wu said suddenly at this moment.

Song Wei nodded silently and closed the ledger.

Song Wei didn't need to look anymore, this Wu Zhenkun must have other business.

And it's still unknown business.

Song Wei frowned. This account book can be used as evidence, but what Song Wei doesn't know is what Wu Zhenkun's other business is. If there is no other evidence to prove it, this account book can be said to be useless, because it is easy to fool the past .

"Is that all?"

Song Wei shook his head, now is not the time to think about these things.

It's about how much evidence there is to prove Wu Zhenkun's crime.

"and also."

Butler Wu said quickly, and then he pressed under Wu Zhenkun's desk, and a hidden compartment appeared.

Butler Wu took out the things in the secret compartment and handed them to Song Wei.

"This is a correspondence between Wu Zhenkun and some people."

Butler Wu continued.

After receiving the letters, Song Wei opened one at random, and found that it was indeed a correspondence.

It also records Wu Zhenkun's food matters.

After Song Wei took a few glances, he opened another one.

But this time, Song Wei narrowed his eyes.

The previous letter was completely unremarkable to the present one.

Song Wei just glanced at the sender's name and knew that the letter was not simple.

Because it says Tianguang County.

Wu Zhenkun actually still has contacts with people from Tianguang County?

Song Wei was a little surprised.

When he saw the content, Song Wei was surprised and speechless.

At this moment, he finally knew why there was a large amount of income and expenditure in the books of the Wu Mansion.

The letter said it all.

After reading the letter, Song Wei clenched his fist slightly.

He is very angry now, wishing to beat Wu Zhenkun up.

This Wu Zhenkun actually trafficked people!

Not only that, he also forced girls into prostitution and sold some girls into brothels!
Song Wei gritted his teeth. He originally thought that Wu Zhenkun was just a squire in Zhen'an County, with some rights and financial resources, but he never thought that Wu Zhenkun would secretly do these dirty businesses.

Song Wei opened some more letters. Some of them were about food, and some were about brothels or human trafficking.

Then Song Wei also discovered that Wu Zhenkun had an intersection with a big man in Tianguang County.

It felt like that big man owed Wu Zhenkun something.

And that big man seems to know a lot, and the letters all say that a big event happened in Zhao country a while ago.

Song Wei exhaled deeply.

He discovered that Wu Zhenkun was hiding very deeply.

Fortunately, he can now use these letters as evidence.

Song Wei put the letter on the table casually.

"This Wu Zhenkun is not simple."

Song Wei sighed and continued: "Put these letters away and keep them well. They all record some of Wu Zhenkun's crimes, and they are also powerful evidence in court."

"Yes!"

Butler Wu responded and put the letter away.

"and many more!"

Just when Steward Wu was about to put away the letter, Song Wei said suddenly.

Butler Wu stopped what he was doing.

"What's wrong, sir?"

Butler Wu asked blankly.

Song Wei did not speak, but took out a letter from a pile of letters.

The letter looked ordinary, with nothing on the envelope.

But it was Song Wei who found it strange.

Opening the letter, Song Wei almost cried out after just looking at it.

"Fuck, this old man is still traitorous!"
