After knocking down the two guards, Jiang Xia was originally going to push Wei Youcai's door open and walk in, but just as Jiang Xia was about to push the door, he found that a small thin line was arranged in front of the door. Jiang Xia probably would have touched the thin line and would have alarmed the guards in Taifu.

He took a breath slightly and thought to himself that Wei Youcai was quite careful, and it seemed that he had to pay attention.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia simply chose to go in from the main entrance instead of entering the window.

He opened the window easily, Jiang Xia rushed and jumped in. After entering the room, he rolled on the ground and then stabilized his body.

Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at the door. Sure enough, there was also a thin thread at the door, and the bells were covered with bells. As long as the thin thread was pulled, the bells would definitely ring.

Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and he walked carefully to Wei Youcai's long desk. He gently twisted the inkstone, and a painting on the wall moved open, revealing the door of the iron box.

The iron box is embedded in the wall, so it is impossible to take it out. The only way is to open the door of the iron box, but the key is still on Wei Youcai.

Of course, Jiang Xia pulled a hair from her head, then walked to the door of the iron box and inserted her hair into the keyhole.

It is naturally impossible to open the lock with a hair strand, but Jiang Xia is extraordinary and he is very knowledgeable. He holds his hair in his hand and gently turns it. He can clearly feel every collision after his hair enters the lock hole. With such a lock structure, Jiang Xia immediately knows it.

After knowing the internal structure of the lock, Jiang Xia took out a thin iron wire from his arms and bent it, then stretched the iron wire in. With a light hook, he heard a "click" sound, and the iron door opened.

Jiang Xia smiled and opened the iron door. The four packages wrapped in brocade were neatly arranged. Jiang Xia took out one and opened it and looked at it. All the cashiers from the Chengxuan Zhengshi and the prefect of Yongning Prefecture were included.

It was this thing, Jiang Xia smiled slightly. He pulled out a cloth bag from his arms and put away all the accounts, and then immediately jumped out of the window and left.

Finally leaving Taifu, Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the city tower is closed at night, I just wait until the city gate is opened tomorrow and I can fly away with evidence. At that time, soldiers will be transferred to arrest all the people involved one by one, and the whole thing will be done.

Of course, the premise is to be able to survive tonight.

After Jiang Xia left the Taifu, he rushed back to Yin's mansion. After reading it a few times, he entered the Yin's mansion. As soon as he reached the door, Jiang Xia felt that there was someone in the door, and there were two breathing sounds.

Jiang Xia was on guard. He walked closer to the door and gently pushed the door open. He heard the people in the room shouting in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, it's me."

"Hmm?" The candle in the room lit up, "Brother Han Zhong Bin?"

Han Mufeng was sitting at the table in the room, and Zhong Bin leaned against the edge of the bed with a pale face. Jiang Xia walked over excitedly and grabbed Zhong Bin's hand and said, "It's great to see you still alive. I knew that a good person's life will not last for a thousand years. If a person like you does not last for a hundred years, it would violate the laws of science."

"The law of science?" Han Mufeng rolled his eyes. This must be the dialect of Jiang Xia's hometown.

Zhong Bin pulled the corner of his mouth and said weakly: "You are not dead yet, how could I die?"

Jiang Xia and Zhong Bin were used to joking each other, so they didn't mind his words. He reached out and pressed Zhong Bin's pulse and found that the pulse was not pounding strongly, which was obviously caused by excessive blood loss. Jiang Xia asked with concern: "How, is the injury very serious?"

Zhong Bin shook his head and said, "I have recovered for so long after I have been cared for so long. However, the internal injuries still need to be cared for for a while. I am afraid that it must be warmed with the best medicinal materials within at least half a year."

"Don't worry, these medicinal herbs are mine. Tell me, how did you meet?" Jiang Xia asked.

Zhong Bin glanced at Han Mufeng. He never liked to talk much, so he signaled Han Mufeng to tell him the specific situation at that time. Han Mufeng said: "In fact, it is not difficult to find Zhong Bin. He carved the East Factory's special secret notes everywhere where he was hiding. I found it as soon as I went."

"It seems you have guessed that I will come to find you with Brother Han. You are very smart," Jiang Xia said with a smile.

Zhong Bin glanced at Jiang Xia and said lightly: "I just thought Han Mufeng would come." After saying this, a touching look flashed in Zhong Bin's eyes, but the expression just flashed, and then Zhong Bin's face returned to normal. A cold and dead face.

Han Mufeng suddenly saw the black bag on Jiang Xia's body, and his eyes lit up and asked, "Have you gained something in Taifu?"

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "I'm lucky. The accounts of the four major salt merchants are all here. At this moment, as long as the officials involved in this matter in Yunnan will definitely not be able to escape."

"But we are now in Yongning Mansion, and we alone cannot do anything to those local snakes. What should we do next?" Han Mufeng asked.

Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, wait for dawn."

In fact, there is no need to wait for dawn. After the two guards guarding the study that night woke up, they immediately reported their attack to Wei Youcai.

Wei Youcai, who was already asleep, was shocked and sweated when he heard something went wrong in the study. He immediately got up and rushed to the study. He took out the key and opened his iron box. The empty iron box immediately stunned Wei Youcai, and the key in his hand fell to the ground.

"Immediately notify the three major salt merchants to come to my study and send someone to guard all the exits of the Taifu. No one is allowed to go out and search for one inch of the place. In addition, please ask the magistrate to go through the house to discuss important matters, so hurry up."

After saying the last sentence, Wei Youcai seemed to have all his strength suddenly been drained. He stood there and suddenly shook his body and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he pressed the desk and did not really fall down.

The guards who followed the "Master" were a little worried about Wei Youcai's body. Wei Youcai immediately roared: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go quickly?"

The guards immediately dispersed.

After a while, three other salt merchants in Wei Youcai's study also came. The four of them discussed for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "The magistrate is here, and the sir thousand households are here."

All the four major salt merchants stood up, and at this moment there was a big mess. Except for the officials intervened, no one would have the chance to save the situation. Moreover, the prefect of Yongning Prefecture was a senior official of the fourth rank, and the Qianhu of Yongning Qianhu Office was also a senior official with the fifth rank, and the military power of the four major salt merchants dared not make any decisions in front of these two people.

The prefect Wang Shujun and the thousand-household Yang Gangming walked into Wei Youcai's study together. The four major salt merchants saluted to the two and said, "See Lord Wang, Lord Yang."

Wang Shujun waved his hand and said with some anger: "None of them have known people for a day or two. There is no need to come here for these false gifts. I ask you, is there something wrong with the account book?"

The four major salt merchants were afraid to speak immediately, and the other three looked at Wei Youcai together, meaning that you were responsible for this matter and you should take it yourself.

Wei Youcai's body trembled slightly. He closed his eyes and nodded and said, "That's right, all the books of our four major salt merchants have been lost."

"You" Wang Shujun's whole body was shaking. No one knew better than him how important those things were. Those things were not a life, but the lives of thousands of people from Yunnan. They were an official hat and countless wealth.

Although Wang Shujun was mentally prepared when he came along the way, Wang Shujun was still hit after confirming it through Wei Youcai. He took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have any clues? Do you know who stole this account book?"

"I guess it must be related to the Jinyiwei who came from the capital." Wei Youcai said.

"Nonsense!" Wang Shujun finally couldn't help cursing, and Yang Gangming, who was standing beside him, said: "Forget it, the situation is urgent now, and it is better to find a way to remedy it."

"Yes." Wang Shujun nodded and said, "Fortunately, your reaction is quite timely, and it is not too late to remedy it now. The account book was lost in the second half of the night, so at least it is certain that both the people and the account book are still in the city.

I will order the city gate to close today and no one is allowed to enter and exit the city gate. Then I will take all the people in the Taifu to the yamen, and I will interrogate them one by one. In addition, I will immediately notify other salt merchants in the city to pay attention and don’t lose the account book in their hands again.”

"Yes," the four major salt merchants nodded and responded.

The Taifu suddenly exploded. No one knew what was going on. He just knew that there were officers and soldiers and Taifu escorts to martial law that the entire Taifu was not allowed to enter and exit.

At the same time, many people were sent to notify other salt merchants in the city to let them pay attention. As the largest salt merchant in Yongning Mansion, Yin Tianhao was naturally the first to receive the notice.

After receiving the notice, he immediately ordered all the guards of the Yin Mansion to be summoned to ensure that they should protect them strictly.

When he had arranged everything and returned to his room, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Xia sitting in his room drinking tea. Yin Tianhao frowned and asked, "Fu Jin, is there any trouble to come to see him for being a father because he is so late?"

Jiang Xia looked up at Yin Tianhao, and he smiled and said, "Master Yin, let's get to know each other today. My surname is Jiang, and my name is Xia. I am the ninth rank of Fengluan, the top scholar in the Jinke Department. The emperor appointed me to come to Yunnan to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of salt taxes."

After saying that, Jiang Xia rolled up his sleeve and exposed the four words "Like I'm here in person" on it. Jiang Xia's face suddenly changed and he shouted in a deep voice: "Bold Yin Tianhao, this word is written by the emperor. When you see the word "Like the emperor", you don't kneel down when you see it? Could it be that you want to rebel?"

Yin Tianhao was slightly stunned. He knelt on the ground subconsciously. Jiang Xia nodded with satisfaction. He asked Yin Tianhao: "I will give you a chance to survive. Do you want it?"

PS: I owe something new tomorrow. I have some small matters not handled yet. I am sorry.
