Chapter 141 The Horrible Ledger

Dabo Xinyi opened the door with an oil lamp and walked into the room, which was immediately illuminated by the oil lamp. Except for the window, there were a lot of bamboo slips, wooden tablets, and books on the shelves around the walls. axis.

Dabo Xinyi held an oil lamp and placed it on a low table in the middle of the study. There were pens and ink on the low table. He picked up a small bowl and poured some water into the inkstone, put down the water bowl, and picked up an inkstone inside the inkstone Good ink began to grind ink.

After grinding the ink, he got up and walked to the bookshelf on the left side of the wall, and pushed the shelf hard to move slowly, but there was no sound.

The bookshelf moved about three feet away, and he saw a groove on the wall. Inside the groove was a booklet that was the size of two palms. He took out the booklet and went back to kneel on the lower side, opened the two booklets and spread them out separately. On the table, he picked up the Langhao on the pen holder, dipped the inkstone in ink and began to write on the booklet.

In less than half a minute, Dabo Xiaoyi finished writing on the booklet, took away the wolf hair and dried the ink on the booklet, read it again, then closed it, put away the booklet and walked to the wall and put it on inside the groove.

The bookshelf was slowly pulled back to its original position by him, as if nothing had changed, he returned to the desk, picked up the oil lamp, turned and walked out of the study.

As the door of the study room was closed, the study room was plunged into darkness, only a faint light came in from the corridor outside the window.

After a few breaths, Zhao Junsheng came out from behind a row of bookshelves. With his keen perception and memory, he walked to the wall and gently pushed the shelf away. He reached out and groped on the wall, and soon found The booklet in the groove, took it out, then went to the window and opened it under the faint light to check, glanced at it hurriedly, couldn't help but curse secretly: "I ++".

I saw the pamphlet read:

"Dabo Xiaoyi, Dabo Xiaoyi, I don't care what your reasons are for embarrassing me, if you don't give me food and grass this time, I will let you go around without food!"

Zhao Junsheng snorted coldly, and put the booklet into his arms. His original purpose of visiting the governor's mansion at night was to find out why Dabo Xiaoyi

To make things difficult for him, he did not expect to get the account book of Dabo Xiaoyi's bribery and bribery. With this thing, no matter how hard his background is, he has to submit obediently.

But Zhao Junsheng didn't intend to use this account book to put Dabo Xiaoyi to death. Didn't the emperor know that the ministers and officials below were holding money?He is very clear, but as an emperor, he understands the truth that clear water cannot support fish.

Dabo Xiaoyi's father-in-law, Tuoba Song, is well known in the world, and Emperor Tuoba Tao knows it better, but he only exposes the fact of Tuoba Song's corruption when he disagrees with him in terms of political views, and sends warriors Push Tuoba Song to the ground and kowtow to humiliate, other than that, there is no other action.

From this incident, it can be seen how powerful Tuoba Song is, and it can be

It can be seen that corruption and bribery are not a big deal in this era. It is impossible to kill Tuoba Song with a ledger, but it is not difficult to kill Dabo Xiaoyi.

Zhao Junsheng hid the ledger, moved the bookshelf back to its original position, walked to the window, opened it and jumped out.

With a bang, Zhao Junsheng's clothes scraped against the window when he jumped out, and the window on the left hit the frame with a loud noise.

"Who!" Dabo Xiaoyi shouted loudly from the bedroom.

Zhao Junsheng was startled, and immediately stepped on the window sill and jumped upwards. He grabbed the beam under the eaves with both hands and pulled it hard.

Dabo Xiaoyi rushed to the study, saw the window was open, but did not see anyone else, but immediately shouted: "Come, come, catch the thief!"

After the shouts spread, two patrols quickly ran over here.

Lu Xuanbo, who was hiding in the gazebo in the middle of the backyard, was knocking on melon seeds. He knew that Zhao Junsheng had revealed himself when he heard the shouts. He dropped a handful of melon seed shells, clapped his hands, put on his mask and jumped down, and strode towards the wall. run away.

"The thief is here, catch him!" Someone shouted immediately after seeing Lu Xuanbo running in black.

The patrols and servants chased Lu Xuanbo with weapons and sticks.

Dabo Xiaoyi followed behind and shouted: "Catch me alive!"

After all the people in front of the window had left, Zhao Junsheng immediately jumped down and quickly left in the opposite direction, climbed over the fence and disappeared into the snowy night.

The patrol team and servants failed to catch up with the thief, but Dabo Xiaoyi scolded him a lot. After scolding, he suddenly realized that he had missed something, and immediately left quickly towards the study.

None of the valuables and rare books in the study room were missing. He pushed the bookshelf away and found that the ledger in the recess on the wall was gone, and fell down on the ground with a pale face on the spot.

The ledger for accepting bribes and giving bribes is not an ordinary item. Who doesn't know that its existence is a hazard?Why do many corrupt officials have to write down some accounts of bribery?There is no other reason, just because this thing is sometimes a talisman.

Early the next morning, Dabo Xiaoyi, wearing a pair of panda eyes, had breakfast and came to the government office to handle official duties.

Several confidantes came in one after another to report to Dabo Xiaoyi, but the thief who escaped was not caught, nor was the thing stolen by the thief able to be recovered.

No valuables were lost, only the ledger was missing, and the thieves made it clear that they came for the ledger.

Dabo Xiaoyi felt uneasy, if it was just someone sent by his political opponent, the problem would not be a big deal, with his father-in-law Tuobasong covering him, nothing big would happen to him, but if it was someone sent by the emperor, then the problem would be big Now, the emperor still relies heavily on Tuobasong, and will not do anything to Tuobasong, but the emperor doesn't care about him as a small official, and there are countless people who want to sit in his position.

What he was afraid of was that the emperor's ultimate goal was not for him, but for Tuobasong, and this matter was even more troublesome!

Just when Dabo Xiaoyi was in a panic, a soldier walked in and reported: "Master, someone outside the door sent a letter to the master, saying that he will give it to the master himself, and the master will open it himself!"

Chapter 142

There is a dilapidated Taoist temple in the southeast corner of Shanwu County. The Taoist temple is overgrown with weeds and densely covered with cobwebs. Several rooms have already collapsed, and the statues of the Patriarchs of the Three Qing Dynasty have been pitted by insects and ants.

While walking in the Taoist temple, Zhao Junsheng carefully avoided the scattered debris on the ground and the spider webs above his head.

"This Taoist temple seems to have been dilapidated for many years, and no one takes care of it. There should be no one?"

Lu Xuanbo pushed aside a circle of spider webs with his scabbard, breathing white hot air in his mouth: "I have come to investigate this morning, and I have not found any traces of people's habitation."

Zhao Junsheng walked under the statue of Sanqing to look at it, and then walked around the statue of Sanqing, asking as he walked, "Old Lu, do you think Dabo Xiaoyi will come?"

"The account book is related to his wealth and life. How could he not come? It's just that whether he came with a heart of sincerity and fear, or with a murderous intent, this is beyond my servant's ability to guess!"

Zhao Junsheng stopped in front of the Sanqing Statue, and saw a pack of unused incense candles on the dusty altar table. He took out three incense sticks and a candle, took out the torch, took off the cap and blew on it, and a small flame came out. Light the candle, put the candle on the candlestick, and ask while lighting the three incense sticks: "Lao Lu, do you think we should be on guard? After all, people's hearts are unpredictable! In this way, one of us is in the light, and the other is in the dark... "..."

After the sound of clothes being blown by the wind, there was no movement behind him. Zhao Junsheng looked back, and Lu Xuanbo was no longer behind him.

"This guy, he didn't even say hello, at least he waited until I finished speaking!" Zhao Junsheng muttered dissatisfiedly, holding the three already lit incense sticks in both hands, bowed three times to the Sanqing statue, and then inserted them into the incense burner among.

At this time, there were a lot of footsteps in the distance, Zhao Junsheng moved his ears a few times, and slowly turned around to see a fat man wearing an official uniform and an official hat, wearing a dozen soldiers in bright armor, walking into the Taoist temple .
