Barren Years, I Have a Space in My Hand and the Whole Country Will Not Worry

Liu Sisi encountered a car accident while driving and fell off a mountain with her car. When she opened her eyes again, she had traveled to a parallel world with her family's supermarket, becom...

Chapter 116 Finding Evidence

This time, Liu Sisi easily flew in using the Snowflakes technique.

First, he used sleeping gas to knock out everyone in the other rooms, and then he used a hand chop to knock out all the servants and guards at the gate of Prefect Li.

She flashed into her spatial dimension, changed into fairy clothes, and then came out swaggeringly pushed open the door to Prefect Li's room.

Prefect Li was fast asleep and had no idea that someone had entered the room.

Liu Sisi placed Xi Yu by his bedside and kept an eye on Prefect Li, telling him to notify her if he woke up.

She went into the study and searched everywhere, moving everything that could be moved from the bookshelves, but she couldn't find any light switch.

"Doesn't this study have any hidden compartments?" Liu Sisi had always thought that corrupt officials would hide their secret documents in hidden compartments in their studies. Wasn't that how it was always portrayed in TV dramas? But there weren't any here.

"Could it be in another room?" Liu Sisi initially wanted to check other rooms, but after thinking about it more carefully, it seemed unlikely.

He would definitely keep confidential documents close at hand, so why would he put them somewhere else?

They searched the prefect's bedroom and study but found nothing.

Finding Liu Sisi, who was somewhat annoyed, they released the white snake, snow wolf, snow leopard, and monkeys to search together.

Now Prefect Li is finally going to be woken up.

"Who is it! Making such a racket, do you have a death wish? Be careful, or I'll chop off your head."

Prefect Li opened his eyes, filled with resentment. In the darkness, he felt as if he saw many pairs of eyes.

He spoke with some fear.

"Someone, turn on the oil lamp." Seeing that she was awake, Liu Sisi stopped looking for her and flew directly onto Xi Yu's snake body. She took out a flashlight from her spatial storage and shone it on Prefect Li's face.

After being stung by the bright light, Prefect Li took a moment to recover before opening his eyes.

What comes into view are the Snake Immortal and the Snake Fairy, with the Snake Fairy holding up a "glowing artifact".

Then I looked again and saw a room full of large wild animals? And there was another snake spirit there too.

He immediately jumped out of bed.

"Snake...Snake Immortal, what are your orders for descending in person again?"

"I'm asking you, did you embezzle a lot of silver before? Where did you hide the silver?"

"Give me back all the money you've embezzled, or you'll lose your life."

Liu Sisi's eyes were full of fierceness as she looked at Prefect Li.

"Lord Snake Immortal, I really have no money left. I've used all my money to compensate the people. I really have none left," Magistrate Li began to plead his poverty.

"When you had all the officials in Lingxi City work with you to get the people to exchange girls for water and food, you must have embezzled quite a bit, right?"

"What's wrong? You've been acting up again since I haven't punished you for a while? My brothers haven't had meat for days. If you don't tell me, I'll hand you over to them."

Xi Yu pointed at the snow wolf and snow leopard with the snake's tail and said.

"Oh, wait a minute, as expected of the Snake Immortal, I did indeed pilfer a little bit. I just forgot. I'm old and my memory isn't what it used to be. I'll take you to get it right away."

After putting on his shoes, Prefect Li led Xi Yu and Liu Sisi out to the backyard, and after walking for a while, they finally arrived at the stables.

"Why did you bring us here?" Xi Yu asked, annoyed by the stench from the stable.

"Don't worry, sir, you'll find out soon," Prefect Li walked to the innermost part of the stable and touched the middle of the wall. Immediately, a door rotated out of the wall.

"Please, Serpent Immortal," said Prefect Li, gesturing for him to enter.

Liu Sisi slapped Prefect Li unconscious, then went inside with Xi Yu, the white snake, and a group of other animals.

"That corrupt official is quite good at hiding things; no one would have guessed he would hide his valuables here," Liu Sisi said.

The first thing she saw were several large boxes of gold, as well as some jade and precious stones that Liu Sisi had never seen before, and valuable calligraphy and paintings.

"Just how much did this corrupt official embezzle? A mere prefect has hidden so much wealth. No wonder the people are living in misery. It's likely that all the disaster relief funds issued by the imperial court every year have been embezzled by this corrupt official."

Liu Sisi waved her hand and put everything into her spatial storage.

According to the laws of the Tianlong Kingdom, "Of the money confiscated from corrupt officials, a portion is used to offset taxes and rents, another portion is given as a reward to those who report them, and the remainder is turned over to the national treasury."

Liu Sisi thought that he would hand these over to Luo Kuanlong when he got back, since the emperor had sent him to investigate the case.

After collecting the valuables, she went inside and searched the place thoroughly, finally finding a very old box in a corner.

The box contained all the embezzlement ledgers kept by the officials of Lingxi City over the years, the names of the girls who had come to exchange water and food for the people, and the process of how they were tortured to death by him in various ways.

"He's an absolutely depraved and perverted old man who even draws out the process of torturing people."

Enraged, Liu Sisi walked up to Prefect Li and stomped on his legs, breaking them both.

Prefect Li screamed and then fainted again.

After collecting all the evidence, she used her superb light-footed skills to sneak into the residences of the officials one by one, according to the list in the box, and "delivered" them a pair of broken legs.

After doing all that, it was almost dawn when Liu Sisi finally returned to the inn.

Luo Kuanlong hadn't slept well. Although he knew his youngest daughter was very capable, he was still somewhat worried.

He came out of his room immediately upon hearing that Liu Sisi had returned.

Liu Sisi saw him and gave him the box she had found.

"General Luo, this is evidence of all the officials in Lingxi City's corruption, bribery, and exploitation of the people. Please keep it safe."

After handing the evidence to Luo Kuanlong, Liu Sisi went back to her room to catch up on sleep.

Luo Kuanlong was shocked by Liu Sisi's efficiency and relieved that she was his daughter. He wanted to say a few more words, but found that his daughter had already closed the door and gone inside.

The next day, Prefect Li and all the officials who lived near him broke their legs in their sleep, and several large characters were written in their homes.

"What people do is seen by Heaven; corrupt officials are heartless, and the snake spirit will punish them."

The incident caused a sensation throughout Lingxi City. Other officials who had not broken their legs were also on edge. Even officials from Huaibei and Changbai cities received the news.

They were all relieved that they had not done anything to wrong the people, and that they had shared the hardships with the people during the drought. They were all good officials who did practical things for the people.

From then on, all the officials in the northern part of the Tianlong Kingdom felt proud to be good local officials.

At the beginning of the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), after Liu Sisi woke up, she took Tiantian to Granny Yin's house. After packing their things and saying goodbye, the group and Luo Kuanlong embarked on their journey back to the capital.

With so many people, we had to stay in guesthouses at night, and so we traveled around like this for about half a month.

Liu Sisi heard the sound of firecrackers outside. She lifted the curtain from the carriage and looked out. The sound of firecrackers continued.
