Chapter 170



Gu Cheng did not hide it from her and said calmly:

"My grandfather gave me a secret guard team that specializes in gathering intelligence. All the big and small events that have occurred in various countries in the past few decades are recorded in the secret guard team."

"In the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Xiaoxing of the Southern Qi Dynasty, he wrote an essay that shocked the world during the imperial examination. Although his writing was not as good as most of the examination papers at that time, his comments on the government and official system of the Southern Qi Dynasty were brilliant and to the point. At that time, Xiao Qi also wanted to rectify the chaos in the court, so he made an exception and promoted him to the first place in the second class."

"Afterwards, this man named Cao Boqian had outstanding political achievements in the imperial examinations, and within a few years he was promoted to Jingzhao Yin. Unfortunately, his good times didn't last long. He was too upright and handled several major cases in succession. He imprisoned several powerful people who had raped women and killed people in the streets, and thus offended many powerful people in the capital."

"This incident caused quite a stir in the Southern Qi court. At that time, He Huaiyuan had already reached the stage of being the sole leader of the government. He did not want to offend the powerful people in the capital, and at the same time, he did not dare to punish Cao Boqian easily because of Cao Boqian's reputation among the people. So he found an excuse to demote him to Jinchuan County as the county magistrate."

The little boy curled his thin lips slightly, looking confident.

"That was three years ago. According to the Southern Qi system, county officials were replaced every five years. Isn't Cao Boqian still the county magistrate of Jinchuan County?"

"Tsk, tsk..." Sheng Nanxi was amazed by this analysis.

He is the male protagonist. He can remember such a trivial thing that happened in another country for so many years!

The novel also mentions that in the Southern Qi Dynasty there was a selfless magistrate named Cao County.

When an extremely cold winter came, he tried every possible means to save the people, and finally even shared his own food with poor children. As a result, he suffered from long-term overwork and malnutrition, and did not survive the winter.

In this case, the person mentioned in the novel should be the Jinchuan County Magistrate.

Since she had made up her mind, Sheng Nanxi did not hesitate and immediately put all the food in the large granaries into the space. She would find a way to hand these things over to County Magistrate Cao after she had searched the mansion of County Magistrate Li.

After the two kids searched the granary until not even a grain of rice was left, they teleported to the county capital not far away.

Sheng Nanxi was now quite experienced. She used the space dizziness to sweep away a large area before she even landed. She waved her little hand, took away all the things that were worth some money, and then teleported to the next spot.

Potted plants, flowers, birds, fish, beautiful stones, glazed tiles, wind chimes, and the dog guarding the corner...all are rolled into the space!

When passing by the courtyards of some servants and maids, I vaguely heard that the people below were also awakened by the explosion in the distance and were discussing something in secret.

Some maids said that they vaguely saw that Lei Gen did not strike the arrogant man who dared to blaspheme the goddess, but struck the goddess who attracted the thunder.

As soon as these words were spoken, several old women objected, saying that the goddess was blessed by the Tao, and even if the Tao was merciful and let those arrogant people go, it would never kill the goddess.

A group of maids were making a lot of noise in the house, but it was too far away to see clearly, and it was difficult to tell who was right or wrong. Someone else said that they still had to serve the nobles on duty, so it would be better to rest early and have enough energy.

The lights in several nearby houses gradually went out, and everything became completely quiet.

Sheng Nanxi lay on the roof, lifted the tiles and looked down, and found that these maids and old women had blue faces like most of the people with surnames, obviously because they drank the nectar spring.

She waved her chubby hand, lit the incense balls mixed with drugs, and placed them on several plates, then placed the plates under the bed where they could not be easily noticed. It didn't take long to quietly dispel the illusion among the crowd.

Most of them were people with miserable lives who had no choice but to come to the county capital to do menial work.

Sheng Nanxi did not touch their belongings, but rolled up the door panels and door latches belonging to the county magistrate's mansion at the gate, the glazed tiles on the courtyard wall, the three large water tanks next to it, and the three crickets that passed by into the space, and then teleported them one by one to the study of County Magistrate Li.

As soon as the two little ones landed, they began to clear out the house of valuables.

There are excellent pine and cypress trees at the gate, wood and stone carvings, exquisitely crafted ceramic floor tiles, and various door and window panels in the courtyard...

Take them all away!

Such a dog official who disregards the lives of thousands of people does not deserve to live in such a good house!

Sheng Nanxi was not afraid that the news of the county governor's mansion being emptied would spread and some people would guess that they were nearby. She might as well work harder tonight and search the mansions of corrupt officials in several nearby counties to create more confusing activities!

As usual, Sheng Nanxi entered the room and took away the nearby tables, chairs, benches, coffee tables, tea sets, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, calligraphy and paintings on the bookshelf and other valuables. Then she climbed up the shelf where official documents were placed and began to search.

She read very quickly, but after flipping through it, she did not find any evidence of Magistrate Li's illegal activities. Sheng Nanxi immediately realized that something was wrong.

Gu Rucheng, who was standing next to her, noticed something unusual before her. He looked around the study carefully, walked to the west corner to observe for a while, and then stepped on several nearby floor tiles in a certain order.

Immediately afterwards, there were several rolling sounds, and the connected floor tiles that he had stepped on before all collapsed and moved to the side, revealing a dark secret passage.

Gu Cheng's hand fiddled with the entrance of the secret passage for a while until he heard the sound of a machine connection from below. After making sure that all the hidden weapons below were blocked by him, he came back and hugged Sheng Nanxi, and walked down carefully.

Sure enough, in the secret room below, in addition to a small private vault filled with rare treasures, there were also a large number of secret letters and documents that could not be seen in the light!

The most common of these is the correspondence between Li Junshou and King Kang. From these, we can see that Li Junshou gave all the money he had plundered to King Kang. In addition, he was instructed by King Kang to do many murders and robberies in private!

If you take any one of these things, it would constitute the crime of murder!

The more Sheng Nanxi looked, the more shocked she became.

According to the court's regulations, princes like King Kang who own fiefs can enjoy local taxes and support, and have no right to interfere in local politics. Several counties nearby are nominally King Kang's fiefs, but in reality they should be under the control of the court.

But looking at these letters, it is clear that County Magistrate Li is following the lead of Prince Kang and does not take the imperial court into consideration at all!

From some other letters, we can also see traces that several nearby counties and prefectures privately united to respond to King Kang's orders. It can be seen that these officials have long been King Kang's men!

This also explains why County Magistrate Li dared to blatantly embezzle the disaster relief grains sent to several nearby counties without fear of being exposed by these county magistrates!

Because they are all King Kang's men!

And that mysterious Xianyuan Sect also looks like they are in cahoots with them!

No wonder even though He Huai'en has been cooperating with the Xianyuan Sect for many years, these people always go against him. When they were in Jinyang County, they always wanted to do something behind He Huai'en's back.

It turns out that they have been under the command of King Kang from the beginning to the end! The reason why they are willing to provide some benefits to He Huai'en is just to make the various forces in the court fight more fiercely, so that they can wait to reap the benefits!

Sheng Nanxi remembered that King Kang was a well-known virtuous king among the people. In the early years of the founding of the country, the Western Rong Kingdom frequently invaded the border of Southern Qi. It was King Kang, the elder brother of the previous emperor, who proposed many useful strategies and laid the foundation for more than ten years of peace on the northwestern border.

When the late emperor gave his elder brother a fief, he volunteered to guard the northwestern border for Southern Qi. He even made a bold statement that the lineage of King Kang would defend the Mobei Pass to the death.

The late emperor was deeply moved when he heard this. He saw that he had actually built the palace in Yunzhong County, which was not far from the northern desert gate. It looked like he was really determined to fight the Western Rong people to the death. He also made an exception and granted him the right to participate in the military decision-making of the Northwest Frontier Army.

In detail, the Xianyuan Sect also gradually rose and grew during that time. During these ten years, King Kang loved his people on the surface, but secretly cultivated the Xianyuan Sect, which was equally righteous, and gradually built up its own power in the northwest of Southern Qi.

Being able to deceive everyone for more than ten years is also the work of this old fellow!

Sheng Nanxi quickly flipped through the secret letters and sighed. But in her opinion, this King Kang was just a scheming man who was a little more difficult to deal with than the He Huaiyuan brothers.

The little girl took away all the valuables, dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as several piles of evidence in the secret room, in case of emergency.

The two little ones clattered around the front yard and the back garden, and then, contentedly, prepared to collect the things that were specially provided for the owner and guests to rest in the two yards.

Sheng Nanxi quickly came to the rooftop where the Xianyuan followers rested, and was almost suffocated by the pungent scent of the flowers.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear the deliberately suppressed sound of stringed instruments and the sounds of young girls playing and teasing. It sounds no different from the Qinlou and Chuguan.

She gently lifted a tile and looked down, and saw a person who looked like a palace mistress of the Twelve Flower Palace sitting at the head of the table holding two people dressed as young prostitutes, watching a few weak men dancing with an intoxicated look on their faces.

Good guys! Doesn't the Xianyuan Sect say that the Twelve Flower Palaces are a symbol of purity? And because of their excessive propaganda, the current people have more stringent requirements for women's chastity.

These people brainwashed the woman surnamed 땡 to be a good wife, but in private they are more outrageous than anyone else?!

Sheng Nanxi was getting angrier and angrier. Just as she was about to take a closer look, she suddenly heard a very subtle sound of clothes rubbing against each other coming from a nearby room. Then came a series of gasps from a young girl:

"Well... Sister, that's enough. Lian'er is about to be hurt by you..."
