Listen to my heart in the morning and eat melons in the afternoon.

The names of all the officials, big and small, who were involved with Song Yuanzhi in Shengjing officialdom were extracted from the mouths of these spies, and Tian Xingjian had them registered.

Many officials were immediately arrested and interrogated in court.

The timid official knew that the matter was exposed and quickly confessed.

The officials were so bold that they refused to give in.

Tian Xingjian? Magistrate of Wucheng County? I've never heard of him. So what if he's the new governor?

I have connections in the capital, there’s nothing I’m afraid of!

[Qingchen, it seems like there are a few tough guys here. ]

[I don’t know whether their bones are hard or not, but I know they will collapse to the ground in a while.]

【how to say? 】

[The one kneeling straight with a fat head and big ears is a "Pixiu"]

【Only in but not out? 】

[A well-known miser in Shengjing City. Once money is in his hands, it is impossible to take it back.]

【I asked my father to raid his house.】

[That would cost him his life. Do you think he would give in? ]

[However, the way this person hid the gold is quite interesting. ]

[You can't hide it in your stomach, right? ]

[He has no gold in his belly, but did you notice the way he walked when he came in? ]

Like a duck.

[That's because he had a money bag hanging in his crotch. ]

The people of Shengjing City held back their laughter.

Tian Xiwen, Tian Xiwu and Tian Lele were already laughing so hard in the yard.

Lin Yunzhi changed her usual ladylike demeanor and burst into laughter.

[Haha, haha, this is so funny. But why should it be hung on the hips? ]

[He didn't know where he read the book. Important things must be placed in important places so that they can be kept safe.]

【How inconvenient it is to walk! 】

[The people of Shengjing City all call him Lord Duck Step. ]

The onlookers all had an expression of “right, that’s right” on their faces.

[Does his family have a lot of money? ]

[Mr. Yabu's means of making money are all based on saving, and secondly, Song Yuanzhi likes to give him gifts. His family hid the gold that Song Yuanzhi embezzled for disaster relief.]

[This miser's method of hiding gold should be unexpected, right? ]

【Have you ever seen money hidden in the toilet? 】

【I’ve seen it. 】

[It is hidden in the toilet pit, not just placed in the toilet. ]

[Wouldn't the gold and silver have a foul odor? ]

[His gold and silver do not need to be used.]

[How much is hidden? ]

[It's a lot, one thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver. They are hidden in several manure pits. His manure pits are very large. Every time they are cleaned, Master Yabu will definitely be there to supervise. Every time, every time, he has to count. ]

[This is a damn visual. I'm afraid I can't do this even with a gas mask on. ]

[The other two are also good at hiding money. One likes to hide money in a coffin.]

[He has several coffins at home, all made of the finest golden nanmu wood.]

[There is also a person who likes to hide money on various plaques at home. There are small mechanisms behind the plaques so that ordinary people cannot find them. ]

[Wow, that's great! But how can Shengjing have so much gold to embezzle? ]

[You don't know this, right? When Song Yuanzhi was in office, he made up various excuses to ask the court for a lot of money. ]

[Didn't you say the prince was very powerful? How come I didn't notice it? ]

[No matter how powerful the prince is, he can't stop these people from bypassing him and asking the emperor for money! ]

[How much did it cost in total? ]

[In total, there were 100,000 taels of gold and 20 million taels of silver.]

Except for Tian Xiaoxiao and Daju, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

[Where did the money go? ]

[One third was indeed used to build Shengjing City, and two thirds were used by officials of all ranks in Shengjing to receive benefits according to their official positions.]

Tian Xingjian took all this to heart and sent someone to investigate shortly.

【Isn't Song Yuanzhi very rich? 】

[The prefect's office was full of his hidden money.]

【Is there anything under our feet? 】

【Please move the brick under your feet.】

[Hey, this brick is so heavy. ]

[How can it not sink? This is a gold brick! ]

The yamen runners were so excited and wanted to see if there were any gold bricks under their feet.

But in the court, they were not allowed to move unless the prefect gave the order.

[Where else is the gold hidden? ]

[Under your father's seat.]

Tian Xingjian felt as if he was sitting on a sharp thorn, his butt hurt. Song Yuanzhi was a scum in the officialdom.

[Oh, I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep. I ate this kind of corrupt official's melon as soon as I arrived in Shengjing. I'm so full! ]

【Go to bed and eat fresh melon at night. 】

Tian Xiaoxiao moved back to Lin Yunzhi with her short legs.

Lin Yunzhi held Tian Xiaoxiao in his arms, and Tian Xiaoxiao fell asleep after a while.

Yun Bo led the servants and maids to clean the yard. With the help of He Han's people, they cleared out the debris and tidied up the living place first, and then made plans for other things slowly.

Tian Xiwen, Tian Xiwu, Tian Lele and Lin Bingsheng saw that Tian Xiaoxiao had fallen asleep and had no melons to eat, so they went to help clean up the house.

Lin Yunzhi put Tian Xiaoxiao on the low couch and looked at the account book aside.

In the court, Tian Xingjian ordered the bailiffs to dig in the toilet of Cao Zhubu's house, who was kneeling in the court, and every toilet must be emptied.

All the coffins from Wang Gongcao's family were carried to the government office.

He also asked if there was any craftsman in the hall who understood the mechanism.

A man in his forties walked out of the crowd and said, "Your Excellency, I am Ren Tianyu, who knows a little bit about the basics."

"Brother Ren, please follow the yamen runners to the residence of Zhang Duyou and remove the plaque. Please be careful. We don't know if there are any hidden weapons inside."

The three people who had been speaking tough words and kneeling straight in the hall suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The people watching from the outside were so excited that they were incoherent, and their strong bones were really weakened.

Everyone was waiting for the bailiffs to come back.

After two incense sticks of time, the bailiffs carried two coffins back to the government office.

"Your Excellency, there are six coffins in Wang Gongcao's family. We don't have enough manpower, so we carried the two heaviest ones back first. Please increase the manpower."

It seems that the government office is short of staff.

He Han hurriedly gave his people to Tian Xingjian.

In about half an hour, all the coffins of Wang Gongcao's family were carried back to the government office.

After the coffins were placed, the yamen runners who went to Zhang Duyou's house to remove the plaque also returned with countless gold and silver.

Only the team that went to Cao Zhubu's house to clean the toilet had not returned.

Seeing that all the gold and silver they had worked hard to collect for half their lives were taken away in one go, Zhang Duyou and Wang Gongcao fainted in the hall.

Tian Xingjian also ordered people to seal off the Zhang and Wang families, and all the people from the two families, men, women, young and old, were detained.

An hour later, a group of people came back carrying smelly gold and silver.

I saw that those people had their noses blocked with cotton.

The people automatically made way, covered their noses and breathed through their mouths.

Some people who love cleanliness couldn't stand the smell and were directly fainted by it.

Lord Yabu Cao, the chief clerk, counted the boxes carried back by the yamen runners. They contained exactly the gold and silver he had hidden.

Then, Tian Xingjian asked the yamen runners to search under Cao Zhubu's crotch.

Sure enough, a purse was taken down.

Wow, a ten-ounce gold ingot.

The people laughed, some of them were lying on the ground holding their stomachs, some were bending over, and some were laughing so hard that they almost choked. The spectators who were drinking tea across from the government office laughed so hard that they spit out their tea.

The people of Shengjing City ate several melons on the first day Tian Xingjian took office and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

Tian Xingjian fought brilliantly in his first battle. From then on, the people of Shengjing knew that the new governor was a tough guy who could make decisions for the people.
