Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

"Does Ye Jintang know about Shopkeeper Wen's affairs?"

"I don't think he knows. Ye Jintang hasn't gone out in the past few days, and he hasn't had any contact with Shopkeeper Wen."

"Okay, very good. Issue a wanted warrant to arrest Shopkeeper Wen immediately."

After Governor Song finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate to do so.

"Forget it, let's not go after Manager Wen for now. Send someone to keep an eye on Ye Jintang and see if she has any unusual movements."

Governor Song always felt that Ye Jintang was strange and not the cowardly little orphan he once knew.

But he couldn't tell what was strange about it.

Governor Song racked his brains but probably never imagined that at this moment, there was a little boy outside the window who could hear everything that happened in the house clearly.

Zhou Wuwei did not even bother to poison Governor Song and immediately returned to Feicui Hutong. He wanted to tell Ye Jintang this shocking secret as soon as possible.

Ye Jintang, who had been waiting for news at home, did not receive the news that Governor Song was poisoned to death, but instead received a huge secret.

"Master, this is absolutely true. I must have heard it correctly."

Ye Jintang, who was sitting on the Arhat bed, was completely dumbfounded.

She never expected that the death of Prefect Ye's family would be related to Prefect Song and Prefect Zhao, and that the matter also involved disaster relief silver.

Ye Jintang's heart was filled with hatred. Governor Song and Governor Ye had worked together for many years, so how could he have the heart to kill him?

She said that how come all the dozen people in Magistrate Ye's family suddenly died of an epidemic, leaving only a little girl named Ye Jintang.

Although the epidemic in the city was serious, no family had experienced more than a dozen deaths.

Moreover, since no one from the Ye family and the Wen family came, Governor Song hurriedly cremated Governor Ye and Madam Wen.

It turned out that Governor Song did all this on purpose because he felt guilty.

He burned all the evidence in one fire. Even if someone suspected that Governor Ye's family was poisoned in the future, it would be difficult to implicate Governor Song.

Ye Jintang gritted his teeth in his heart. Governor Song was really cruel and would kill people for money.

There are more than a dozen lives at stake. Even if she wants to kill Governor Song, she won't just poison him to death.

She wanted to make public the fact that Governor Song and Prefect Zhao had embezzled disaster relief funds, so that more than a dozen members of the Ye family would not die in vain.

However, at the moment, all other evidence had been dealt with by Governor Song, and the only breakthrough was the disaster relief money and the account books.

Yuezhou was hit by an epidemic, causing countless deaths and injuries. The sick people could only watch the food rot in the fields and could do nothing about it.

The emperor mobilized disaster relief silver and grain to help the people overcome the difficulties.

These are all life-saving measures. However, Governor Song and Prefect Zhao, for the sake of their own petty profits, did not care about the lives of the people and would not feel satisfied even if they cut them into pieces.

By this calculation, the two men killed not only Magistrate Ye's family, but also countless ordinary people who starved to death or died of disease.

"Wuwei, don't rush to poison Governor Song. Wait for me to check the matter of the disaster relief silver."

It has been at least a month since this incident happened, and there are not many clues left.

One is the disaster relief silver embezzled by Governor Song, which is stamped with the official seal of the government. Governor Song should not have melted this batch of silver yet. If the silver can be found, Governor Song will not be able to escape.

The second is the account book written by Governor Song. With the account book, even if Governor Song has a lot of tricks, he can't cheat.

After thinking it over, Ye Jintang first went to the space to look for the account book that Governor Song had been looking for.

According to him, the account book should be in the hands of Governor Ye, and it was because of the account book that he poisoned Governor Ye and his entire family.

But when Ye Jintang moved, he did not notice the suspicious account book.

When moving things in the dark room of the study, Ye Jintang only looked at the boxes containing silver and banknotes, and did not pay too much attention to the others.

As for the warehouse, she didn't check it carefully and put everything into the space.

At this moment, Ye Jintang was looking for an inconspicuous account book among a pile of sundries, and he felt overwhelmed.

For something as important as this, Governor Ye would definitely not leave it lying around. He would at least have to find a box to put it in.

So he opened all the various boxes in Ye Jintang's space.

After searching around for the account book, I didn't find anything, but I did find a lot of banknotes.

This is a bit tricky.

The account book is the most direct evidence that Governor Song and Prefect Zhao embezzled disaster relief funds. If it cannot be found, it will not be easy to bring down Governor Song.

Where did Magistrate Ye hide the account book?

Ye Jintang was not familiar with Prefect Ye, and knew nothing about his living habits. Under such circumstances, it was indeed difficult to find the account book.

After coming out of the space, Ye Jintang felt a little headache as to where the account book should be placed.

Since she couldn't find the account book for the time being, she might as well try to alert the enemy.

"Madam Liu, come here for a moment."

Ye Jintang asked Madam Liu to help her spread some news, the main content of which was that Governor Song poisoned Governor Ye's family and wanted to monopolize his family's property.

In addition to these explosive news, there was also a little revelation about Governor Song embezzling disaster relief funds.

As long as Governor Song hears any news, he will definitely take action.

"Alas, I don't know if it will work."

Ye Jintang is gambling. To put it bluntly, she and Governor Song are now competing to see who has stronger mentality. Whoever's psychological defense collapses first will be the first to reveal his true colors.

Luzhu, who brought tea into the room, saw that Ye Jintang looked worried and thought that she was feeling upset because of what happened recently.

"Miss, according to the letter, Master Ye will arrive in Yuezhou City in three days. Then you won't be so tired."

"Should we send someone to wait at the city gate in advance?"

Ye Jintang smiled bitterly in her heart, Ye Song was not here to help her.

"Don't worry. It's a long way from the capital to Yuezhou City, and it's easy for the time to be wrong. As long as my cousin comes to Yuezhou and asks at the government office, he should be able to find us."

Having said this, Ye Jintang suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Since Magistrate Ye did not keep the account book at home, is it possible that he kept it in the study of the yamen?

In addition to the room where Magistrate Ye handled official business, there was also a small study room where he took a nap.

On the day Ye Jintang moved, he left in a hurry and did not go to the front yard.

She had to find an opportunity to go to Magistrate Ye's small study, and she couldn't let Governor Song know.

There were people guarding the yamen on a daily basis, so Ye Jintang must have been there.

Then you can only choose a day off.

The last time I took a break was exactly three days later.

Three days were enough for the explosive news to spread throughout Yuezhou City.

Ye Jintang had not gone out these days. On the day of the holiday, just after dawn, she put on a human skin mask and went to the yamen with Zhou Cong, Zhou Wuwei, Luzhu and Lian Qiao.

Ye Jintang has lived in the yamen for such a long time that he is very familiar with the terrain here.

They went around to the small corner gate behind the yamen. Luzhu and Lianqiao kept watch at the entrance of the alley, while Ye Jintang, Zhou Cong and Zhou Wuwei climbed over the wall to enter.

"I'm going in to look for something, you guys stay outside and watch for me."

"Yes, Master, please hurry up. Although today is a day off, there are still people on duty in the government office."

"Ah."

The door of the study was not locked. It was estimated that even Governor Song did not care about this small study for rest.

Ye Jintang tiptoed in and lit a candle.

The furnishings in the room were simple, with a desk, a bed, a treasure rack, a bookshelf and no other objects.

The treasure racks and bookshelves are filled with all kinds of objects.

Especially the bookshelves, six-story high, filled with all kinds of books.

Ye Jintang raised his brows slightly. He had to flip through so many books one by one, and he didn't know when he would be able to finish reading them.

She thought carefully in her mind, if it were her, how would she hide the account book.

The most dangerous places are often the safest.

Ye Jintang's eyes slowly swept across the bookshelf, finally stopping on some thicker books.
