Chen Yong took out a lighter and lit the candlesticks on both sides one by one as he walked into the secret passage.
The dark secret passage suddenly became bright.
“Oh my god!!!”
When he reached the end of the secret passage, even though Shen Yong already had countless treasures, he still couldn't help but be shocked.
I didn't realize that Magistrate Jia is also a gold jewelry lover.
The huge secret room was filled with all kinds of gold jewelry. A quick look revealed that there were at least tens of thousands of pieces.
What about golden branches and jade leaves, gold necklaces inlaid with pearls and gems, gold and jade hairpins, and bracelets inlaid with jewels...
These are still small items, there are also many luxurious crowns made of gold, and 12 zodiac ornaments made of gold, etc.
Each piece is so exquisitely crafted that it can be a family heirloom.
No wonder Magistrate Jia is so greedy. It turns out he has such a habit of spending money.
It is estimated that all the money and silver that Magistrate Jia embezzled was turned into these gold items.
Shen Yong looked all the way and put them all into the space.
The golden secret room illuminated by candlelight became dim after Chen Yong walked around it.
When he walked out of the secret room, Chen Yong put all the golden candlesticks in the secret passage into the space.
"Ha!" Chen Yong took out the gold-plated account book from the arms of his thin-faced staff and flipped through it.
"This account book is really detailed."
Yes, all relevant personnel in Anyun City are registered in the account books.
Later, he handed the account book directly to Lu Man and asked his third sister-in-law to deal with these people according to the list in the account book to establish his authority.
Anyun City is really in chaos. We must make an example of someone to scare the monkeys, otherwise more people will cause trouble.
.......
Early morning in Anyun City...
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
"Someone's dead! Someone's killed!!"
“Someone come quickly!!”
The terrified screams of the yamen runners were so penetrating that they scared out everyone around the Jia Mansion.
Soon, the entrance of the Jia Mansion was surrounded by skinny people.
Looking at the corpses hanging at the gate of the Jia Mansion, the people felt both excited and scared.
They hoped day and night that the corrupt official would die a miserable death, but they didn't expect that the corrupt official really would not die a miserable death.
"Hey, what's written on the wall?"
After being stunned for a while, the people came to their senses and looked at the blood words written on the wall with great curiosity.
Those who could read in the crowd had already turned pale with fear and said in a trembling voice,
"Yes...it's the spirit of King Qianhuang who has appeared. The Dragon King is punishing these people..."
No literate person dared to say the word "corrupt official". After all, there were government officials at the door of Jia's house, and he was afraid of causing trouble.
When the people heard that King Qianhuang had punished these corrupt officials, their eyes lit up with excitement.
"So, the rumors in the city yesterday were true?"
"Did the Dragon King really appear in Fanjing City and solve the drought problem?"
"The Dragon King protects King Qianhuang, so if there's King Qianhuang, there must be a Dragon King, right?!"
“…”
The cloudy and lifeless eyes of the people suddenly burst into a light of survival at this moment.
At this time, no one cared about the corpses hanging at the gate of the Jia Mansion.
The people were thinking about when King Qianhuang would come to Anyun City and when the Dragon King would appear.
It was not until Ding Tongpan of Anyun City hurried over that the bodies of Magistrate Jia and others were taken down.
"Why!!"
Judge Ding looked at the tragic death of Magistrate Jia and sighed deeply.
At first, he strongly disagreed with Magistrate Jia doing such cruel things.
However, his influence was insignificant and he could not argue with his staff alone, so he could only claim to be sick and stay at home, not getting involved in these matters.
Look, you’ve committed so many sins and now you’re getting your retribution.
Judge Ding did not dare to deal with the bodies. He just had them carried to the morgue and left there, waiting for King Qianhuang to move into Qianhuang City.
Looking at the bloody words on the wall at the entrance of the Jia Mansion, Ding Tongpan couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Is Anyuan City really saved?
Judge Ding took a deep breath and looked around at the people with chapped lips.
"Everyone line up to go to Zhang's house to get water to drink."
As far as he knew, there was still some water in the Zhang family's well, so he gave it to the people to drink first so that they could hold on.
Let’s try to ensure that no one dies before King Qianhuang comes to Anyun City.
The people looked at Ding Tongpan excitedly and expressed their gratitude to him.
"Thank you, Lord Ding. Lord Ding is a truly caring official..."
Judge Ding waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and inform the people in the city to line up."
The people scattered in all directions, supporting each other and rushing towards Zhang's house.
The yamen runner beside him frowned at the happy people and looked at Ding Tongpan with disapproval.
"Sir, there are people assigned by Lord Jia guarding the Zhang family's well. I'm afraid..."
"That's all right!" Judge Ding raised his hand. "Go and take some more yamen runners with you, and the gate guards too. Let's go together. I want to see if they can stop me!"
Judge Ding looked back at the bloodstains at the gate of the Jia Mansion with a firm look in his eyes.
Magistrate Jia is already dead. If those lackeys of Magistrate Jia in Anyun City still cannot see the situation clearly, then they should be buried with Magistrate Jia.
.......
Zhang family...
"Anyone who dares to trespass into the Zhang Mansion will be killed without mercy!!"
The yamen runners guarding the gate of Zhang's house looked at the people who suddenly rushed over, drew their sharp knives and pointed them at the people, shouting,
"Everyone, step back. If you take another step forward, I'll be ready with swords!"
"You are so rebellious!"
The yamen runners had gloomy faces and stared vigilantly at the increasing number of people in front of them.
What's going on? Why did these people suddenly go crazy?
Now, the only well in the city with water left is the one at Zhang Mansion. Are these people prepared to fight to the death for water?
What's the difference between this and hitting a rock with an egg?
The yamen runners saw that the people were only holding bowls in their hands and not even having any weapons. Aren't they just being sent to be chopped off for them?
"Let's see who dares to use a knife!!"
The voice of Judge Ding came from behind the crowd. The people looked back and made way for him.
The bailiffs looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw that behind Ding Tongpan was a large group of yamen runners and guards, walking towards the gate of Zhang's mansion among the people.
The yamen runner at the gate of Zhang's house was startled, and saluted Ding Tongpan with his fists.
"Master Ding!"
"We are ordered by Magistrate Jia to guard the well at Zhang's mansion. If these people trespass into Zhang's mansion, we..."
"Ha!" Judge Ding interrupted the yamen runners with a sneer.
"Prefect Jia has been punished by heaven and died. King Qianhuang has moved into Anyun City, and the Dragon King has appeared."
"If you still refuse to repent, you will be the next to be punished by God."
The yamen runners stared at Judge Ding in disbelief.
“How is it possible…”
They also heard the rumors in the city yesterday.
This rumor is so fake that no one takes it seriously. How could the Dragon King really appear?
