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

Not long after, the first box was pulled up with a rope.

A circle of people gathered around the wellhead, and everyone stretched their necks waiting for Ye Song to open the box.

With a crisp click, the lock on the box was chopped open by Ye Song's axe.

A box of neatly arranged silver ingots came into view.

"That's a lot of silver. This box must have at least three or four thousand taels."

Someone shouted from a distance.

Ye Song, with a smile on his face, immediately reached out and picked up an ingot of silver.

"This is not ordinary silver, it is official silver."

Ye Song held the silver ingot high up, revealing the official silver mark underneath for everyone to see.

The crowd watching all gasped.

Could it be that the rumor that Governor Song embezzled disaster relief funds is true?

"Governor Song, you have nothing to say now, right? Please don't tell me that the silver that should have been kept in the government office was kept in your own house because you were afraid of losing it."

Ye Song looked at Governor Song, who had already turned pale with fright, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Hurry up and bring up all the government silver. I want to count it carefully to see how much disaster relief silver Governor Song embezzled."

"Jincheng, go get Judge Zhang. He must be present for this matter."

Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Yuezhou, Zhang Tongpan has hardly spent a single day in the government office and has been busy traveling outside.

If it weren't for Zhang Tongpan's busying around, there would be no telling what kind of chaos would have happened in Yuezhou City.

Unlike Governor Song who relied on family donations to become an official, Zhang Tongpan became a Tongpan through the imperial examination. The two men took completely different paths.

Zhang Tongpan knew that it would be difficult for him to get promoted, so he devoted himself to doing things for the people.

Governor Song made friends with the powerful and influential people in order to get promoted.

With an upright person like Zhang Tongpan around, Governor Song is really doomed.

The relief money had not been fully brought in yet, and as soon as Judge Zhang arrived, Ye Song ordered the area to be cleared and no outsiders were allowed to approach.

Ye Jintang's goal has been achieved, so naturally he won't join in the fun here.

She asked Zhou Cong to keep an eye on this place while she took Luzhu and Lianqiao back to Feicui Hutong first.

The sudden appearance of disaster relief money in the abandoned well today was too strange for Zhou Cong and Zhou Wuwei, but the two said nothing and continued to do what they were supposed to do.

This made Ye Jintang feel relieved. If they asked, she really didn't know what to say.

"It's so hot, Luzhu, go to the kitchen and see if there's any mung bean soup."

"Lianqiao, go get a watermelon from the well and cut it up for everyone to eat. After watching the excitement for so long, everyone must be thirsty."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After receiving the order, Luzhu and Lianqiao immediately went to work.

Nanny Liu helped Ye Jintang change her clothes and couldn't help but remind her.

"Miss, you need to plan for yourself as soon as possible. Young Master Ye is so indifferent to you. I'm afraid your life won't be easy when you return to the Marquis of Danyang Mansion."

"Well, I have the money left by my parents. As long as I have the money, our life won't be too difficult."

"It is good for the young lady to have money, but she will soon be of marriageable age, and I am afraid that the Marquis of Danyang will not value her."

Parents have the final say on matters of marriage. Ye Jintang has no parents, so when he goes to the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion, the old lady will have the final say.

Given her current situation, the old lady would definitely not find her an ideal husband.

"Madam Liu, I have my own ideas."

"As long as the girl has a plan."

To be honest, Nanny Liu couldn't quite understand Ye Jintang. It seemed that nothing was difficult for her.

It was clearly a dead end, but she was able to solve it easily.

On that day, Governor Song and his entire family were thrown into prison, and all the relief money was placed in the government storehouse and kept under strict guard.

"Master, Judge Zhang and Master Ye were drinking together in the government office tonight and they didn't leave until late at night."

"Oh, my cousin is quite impressive. He can sit at the same table with Zhang Tongpan so quickly."

"Zhou Congming, you should keep an eye on Ye Song to see what he will do."

"Yes."

Today, Ye Jintang not only put the disaster relief money into the dry well, she also put the account book in.

It now seems that Ye Song should get the account book and discuss the response measures with Zhang Tongpan.

Then she would just wait and see what happens.

Two days later, the newly appointed prefect Zhao finally arrived in Yuezhou City.

As soon as their family entered the government office and reported their identities, the bailiffs immediately arrested them all and threw them into jail.

Two days later, the court sent Zuo Qiandu Yushi to investigate the case of disaster relief silver.

Although Ye Jintang had no one in the court, seeing that even a high-ranking official of the fourth rank, such as Zuo Qiandu Yushi, had come, it was clear that the court attached great importance to this matter.

The more proud Ye Song is now, the more unlucky he will be in the capital later.

The Prince of Changping's Mansion is a clan relative, and he is a prince after all. The Marquis of Danyang's Mansion is digging its own grave by causing trouble for the Prince of Changping.

In her previous life, Ye Yanran married the third prince and became the Princess of Qi, and only then did she fall out with the Changping Palace.

As the family of the Princess of Qi, the Marquis of Danyang Mansion naturally has the strength to do so, but Ye Yanran is still young and it will take two years before she can marry the Third Prince.

There would be no benefit if the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion and the Prince of Changping's Mansion confronted each other at this time.

Thinking of this, Ye Jintang couldn't help but start to worry about the money in Danyang Marquis' Mansion.

The huge storehouse of the marquis' mansion must contain a lot of good things.

She was going to live in such a poor place as Ningchuanzhou, so naturally she had to bring more money with her. If she could wipe out the Danyang Marquis' Mansion in one fell swoop, she would become rich.

"What are you thinking about, girl? You are so happy."

As soon as Luzhu entered the room with two newly made summer clothes, she saw Ye Jintang leaning on the bed and laughing alone.

"Nothing, the summer clothes I want are ready so quickly?"

Ye Jintang sat up and took the clothes from Luzhu's hand.

She would never let herself be wronged. Since she had money in her hands, she would naturally want to wear good clothes and eat good food.

There are several pieces of nice silk material in the space, which are perfect for making summer clothes.

"Master Qiu in Yuezhou City has very good craftsmanship. I have seen that the stitches on his clothes are fine and smooth. Even the tailors in the capital can only do so well."

"Don't fool me. The tailors in the capital are definitely better than those in Yuezhou City."

Ye Jintang picked up the clothes and tried them on. The material was soft and breathable, and it was as thin as gauze and very comfortable to wear.

It is true that people should wear fine fabrics, and only such soft silk can match her delicate skin.

Ye Jintang and Luzhu were discussing clothing styles in the room when Zhou Cong suddenly came in hurriedly to report.

"Master, a notice was posted in the government office just now, saying that Song Deshan and Zhao Ming were guilty of embezzling disaster relief funds. Both of them were sentenced to death in the autumn. The 20 taels of silver they embezzled were all confiscated and will be distributed to the victims soon."

"that's it?"

Ye Jintang looked extremely ugly. Ye Song was really her good cousin.

"Yes, that's what the notice says."

"I didn't mention anything about my parents being murdered by Song Deshan."

Zhou Cong shook his head.

"I read it twice and it is true that there is no mention of Lord Ye and his wife."

"good very good."

"Go call a lawyer. I need to write a complaint."

Ye Jintang had long expected that Ye Song would focus entirely on the disaster relief money, but after the issue of the disaster relief money was resolved, he would definitely stand up for Prefect Ye, after all, Prefect Ye was his uncle.

But from the notice, it is obvious that Ye Song has long forgotten the matter of Governor Ye.

He is really heartless.

The petition was quickly written, but Ye Jintang did not go to the government office immediately.
