Chapter 522 The demon concubine who brings disaster to the country vs. the bandit emperor 133

The future that Ji Yunhuan described was so beautiful, as if a ray of light came into her dark world.

Xiao Shiyu had fantasized about the future countless times, but she couldn't find any way. She couldn't leave Tu Guangjun, nor could she go back to the Xiao family, and she couldn't bear to leave her children.

Perhaps this is her only chance. No matter how powerful Tu Guangjun is, he is only the prefect of Lingnan, and the emperor is the ruler of the world.

Xiao Shiyu had never been to Luojing, and had no idea what the royal guards looked like. She did not believe what he said, but took a step back and said cautiously:

"It is my honor to see you today, Lord Censor. However, you are acting suspiciously, so I dare not hand over the account books rashly."

Lin Yuan took out a gold medal from his bosom and threw it into Xiao Shiyu's hand. "This is the token of the royal guards, bestowed by the current emperor. Ordinary guards cannot get it. Only guards who have made great contributions and are above the fourth rank can get it."

"I know that words alone are not enough, and it will be difficult for the young lady to trust us, so I will leave this token to you for safekeeping. You can check it out. I guarantee with my life that this token is absolutely genuine!"

The things Huan'er took out from the dog emperor's imperial study were naturally real.

Ji Yunhuan reached out and touched Lin Yuan's sleeve, actually taking out an imperial edict from the space.

The bright yellow brocade is embroidered with a dragon riding on the clouds, and dragon patterns embroidered with gold thread are wrapped around it, making it shine brightly.

Ji Yunhuan unfolded the imperial edict and handed it to Xiao Shiyu.

It was the first time that Xiao Shiyu saw the imperial edict and she was hesitating whether to kneel or not. She had heard that seeing an imperial edict was like seeing the emperor and that one should be respectful and solemn.

Ji Yunhuan helped Xiao Shiyu up and said calmly, "In an emergency, we have to make decisions based on our circumstances. I know you won't believe us if we barge in rashly. Please take a closer look. We are not lying to you."

Xiao Shiyu didn't dare to reach out to touch the imperial edict, so she held Ji Yunhuan's hand and read it out word by word.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that the way to govern a country is to employ the best people. My personal guard Lin Yuan is loyal and good, and has outstanding martial arts skills. He has made many outstanding achievements, which is very gratifying to me. I now grant you a golden seal and an iron certificate, appointing you as an inspector, to travel around the country, inspect officials and govern the people, correct lawlessness, and rectify the government."

"You must be respectful! I order you to patrol the four directions and observe every detail. You must report any injustice or unjust act truthfully..."

There was a jade seal on the signature. Xiao Shiyu had seen the document certifying Tu Guangjun's appointment, which also had such a seal on it.

Xiao Shiyu's doubts were almost gone, and she put the gold medal away. With this thing, she felt more at ease.

"Follow me, both of you. I will take you into the secret room."

Passing through the dark corridor, Xiao Shiyu stood in front of the iron gate and fiddled with it for a long time. With a creak, the heavy iron gate finally opened.

After walking a little further, the view suddenly opened up. The air was filled with the smell of wax. Xiao Shiyu lit a few wall lamps. Under the dim light, what came into view were boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

"The wealthy families in the city would give Tu Guangjun a lot of gold and silver every month. After Tu Guangjun arrived in Lingnan, he kept raising taxes. He couldn't get much money from the common people, so he started to exploit the wealthy families. He never considered himself as the parent official of Lingnan. He only wanted to make more money and find a way to send the eldest and second sons to Luojing."

"As for whether Lingnan would be occupied by pirates or whether the people of Lingnan would live or die, he didn't care at all."

Ji Yunhuan opened a wooden box, which was filled with pearls, gems, jade, jade disks... Each piece was exquisite and worth a lot of money.

She also saw many things from the West. Lingnan is close to the sea. Even if the court prohibits foreigners from coming to trade, there will always be people who will take the risk to go out to sea. Each time they go out, they can make huge profits.

Ji Yunhuan had moved things to the warehouses of many high-ranking officials' mansions, such as the mansion of Yue Guogong, which was also full of gold and jade, but it was still inferior to Tu Guangjun's secret room.

Tu Guangjun was a magistrate for three years and earned 100,000 silver coins. He had been running the business here for more than ten years, and almost drained the Lingnan area. The people were in poverty, the navy was in disarray, and the military households barely made ends meet by relying on military fields. Only Tu Guangjun made a fortune.

There is a square table in the secret room. It has been there for a long time and has never seen sunlight all year round, so it emits a faint smell of mold.

Xiao Shiyu pulled out an account book from under the table and handed it to Ji Yunhuan. "Tu Guangjun has two books of accounts, one for the open account and one for the hidden account. This one is the hidden account. There are too many things in it, and there are so many transactions. He doesn't trust outsiders, so he gave it to me."

"We received a new batch of weapons and pig iron yesterday, and even some gunpowder. These things are not easy to get, and we wasted a lot of money on this. This time, the pirate disaster really scared Tu Guangjun. He regretted it a little. It's not that he regretted not strengthening the sea defense line, but that he regretted not hiring more guards."

"It doesn't matter if Lingnan is occupied. It's a remote and desolate place anyway. He dreams of leaving Lingnan. He always says that he has connections in the court. As long as he can save his life and take away these treasures, he may be able to become an official in another place."

"Your Majesty, you must not know that they are so absurd, right? Once you get the evidence, you can take them all down and replace them with a new governor. Lingnan will definitely be better than it is now."

Ji Yunhuan was speechless for a moment.

No matter how absurd or incompetent the emperor is, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is still God, a saint who can make decisions for them.

The people always fantasize that one day an imperial envoy will come, kill the corrupt officials, and bring them peace and prosperity.

But that bastard Murong Xuan was not worthy of being the emperor at all. He did not resist the foreign enemies and turned a deaf ear to the outside world. He just lay in his comfort zone in Luojing City, listening to the flattery of officials and feeling complacent.

When the day came that the city was broken, Murong Xuan immediately abandoned the city and fled. It was true that the upper beam was crooked and the lower beams were crooked. With such a crooked emperor, how many good people could there be among the officials under him?

Ji Yunhuan took the account book and said solemnly: "I promise you that Lingnan will get better and better!"

Xiao Shiyu knocked on the wall and opened a secret door. Lin Yuan went in first, touching the shiny swords, rows of bows and crossbows, boxes of gunpowder... His eyes lit up and he tried his best to wink at Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan was extremely surprised. These things were contraband that were expressly prohibited by the imperial court. The Canglong Gang was just a makeshift group. They were good at fighting, but they had no way to get these things at all.

Tu Guangjun’s stuff may be garbage, but he still has some skills. He has gotten so many good things in such a short time.

Ji Yunhuan pulled Xiao Shiyu out and said, "The account books and the actual items match. We have checked them. Let's close the door."

After the secret door was closed, Ji Yunhuan's mind moved, and a large number of weapons and gunpowder entered her space.

"You said the next delivery would be in a month. No one else would come in on weekdays except you, right?"

Xiao Shiyu nodded, and Ji Yunhuan smiled even more. "Let's get out quickly. Don't come in these days to avoid arousing suspicion. Just wait for a few days and there will be results soon."

Xiao Shiyu walked in front, Lin Yuan followed behind Xiao Shiyu, and Ji Yunhuan was the last one. They had moved all the things in the secret room!
