Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

Chapter 258: Suicide out of fear of crime 1

Early in the morning, "Ah, it hurts so much," County Magistrate Yang Anmin woke up in a daze. He touched the back of his neck and it was a little painful.

But when he touched it like this, it hurt even more, "hiss...", his thoughts slowly came back to him, and he knew what he was here for. Yes, he came to check his vault, and then... then he was knocked unconscious from behind.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat. His gold, gold...

But the secret room was pitch black and he could not see anything. He rummaged in his pocket for a long time and finally took out a tinderbox. He opened the lid and blew into it, and finally there was some light.

With the dim light, Yang Xiancheng found the candlestick set up by the wall. When he lit it, what did he see? He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

His vault was empty, as if it had been looted by bandits. Even the pearwood shelves that contained antiques were gone. It was a thorough plunder.

County Chancellor Yang was so angry that his face turned ashen. He felt like a hole was dug in his heart. His whole body was numb and he felt that breathing was very difficult at this moment. He collapsed and shouted, "Who? Which damn bastard stole my money...ah..."

This is all the gold, silver and treasures he has collected since he became an official. Ah... This is the result of his many years of hard work. Who is it?

His eyes were deep. He had to find this person who dared to come to his house to steal silver. When he dug this secret room, he killed all the builders. Who else could know this place?

At this moment, even if County Magistrate Yang racked his brains, he could not figure out that it was Su Yu who did it. After all, in his eyes, Su Yu was just a weak scholar.

County Magistrate Yang walked quickly out of the underground secret room. The most urgent thing was to find the thief.

He walked out of the woodshed. Along the way, the maids and servants who met County Magistrate Yang all bowed respectfully to him and called him "Master".

"Where is the housekeeper?" County Magistrate Yang asked one of the maids anxiously.

The maid replied respectfully, "Butler Zhu is in the flower hall in the main courtyard."

So County Magistrate Yang strode towards the main courtyard. As soon as he saw the housekeeper, he ordered, "Housekeeper Zhu, take people with you immediately and search all the rooms in the courtyards of the mansion to see if anyone has stolen the silver."

When Butler Zhu heard this, he was shocked. There was a thief in the house. He quickly responded, "Yes, sir."

Butler Zhu immediately made arrangements, picked out a dozen servants and started to act, "Follow me."

"Yes".

County Magistrate Yang was sitting in the flower hall having breakfast, but he waited for a long time. The housekeeper was busy for nearly an hour and a half before he came with someone to reply.

Butler Zhu reported fearfully, "Master, we didn't find anything special. Except for some silver in the mistress's courtyard, there wasn't much silver in the ten concubines' courtyards. They only had some clothes and jewelry. The only other person, Concubine Song, had a silver note of two hundred taels."

Seeing that there was no progress, County Magistrate Yang felt very depressed. He slammed the table heavily and said, "Butler Zhu, remember this, what happened today must not be spread out."

After all, this vault cannot be seen in public, and he cannot report the theft to the authorities or send detectives to investigate. It is really hateful. He is bound to suffer this loss.

"Yes, sir."

"Prepare the horses and go to the county government office."

"Yes".

Arriving at the county government office, County Magistrate Yang went directly to the archives, where his trusted advisor Liu Tan was already waiting outside.

County Magistrate Yang glanced at Liu Tan and said, "Come in."

After two cups of tea, the yamen runner Liu Tan retreated respectfully and ordered the yamen runners below to pack up some delicious dishes. When the dishes were ready, Liu Tan sprinkled some medicinal powder into the wine pot.

He went to tell County Magistrate Yang to tell Constable Han Guang to stop the corruption by himself, otherwise his family members would be in danger.

But when they arrived at the cell, they saw Constable Han Guang, whose face was covered in dirt and his underwear was stained with blood. He had been beaten so badly that he could only lie on the hay. The three constables in the next cell were in a similar situation.

This made the yamen runner Liu Tan secretly frightened. This corruption was indeed not to be underestimated. There had to be someone to take the blame, otherwise he would be implicated as well. He knew a lot.

As the yamen runner Liu Tan just walked in front of the cell, Constable Han slowly crawled over and said, "Yamen runner Liu, are you here to save me?"

He collapsed and cried out: "The silver was given to County Magistrate Yang. I really didn't accept the silver. My crime is not punishable by death. I was just following orders."

The yamen runner Liu Tan glanced at him, lowered his complicated eyes and said: "I am here to bring some good food to my brothers." Then he began to distribute the food boxes in his hands.

He added: "I don't have the power to let you out. This matter must be someone else's slander against County Magistrate Yang, and you are also implicated. County Magistrate Yang said that when he finds an opportunity, he will secretly release you, so you can just stay in the cell for a while with peace of mind."

Under normal circumstances, Constable Han would definitely not believe this, but when he was facing a life-and-death situation, these words really coaxed him. This was his only chance.

Constable Han quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I will definitely do as County Magistrate Yang says."

"Well, I'll be leaving first then," the yamen runner Liu Tan left with satisfaction, his eyes fixed on the dark ground. It really wasn't his fault. The only thing to blame was Han Guang being too unlucky and too careless with his words.

Not long after he left, Master Yuan's servant sneaked in by using silver.

As soon as Master Yuan saw him, he asked, "How is the matter?"

The servant answered honestly, "Master, I went to Master Song's house, and Master Song agreed, but he said it would cost some money."

When Master Yuan heard this, his mustache trembled and said, "How can this be? I am his mentor, and he actually asks his mentor for money."

The servant lowered his head. What he didn't dare say was that Young Master Song wanted a lot.

Master Yuan was angry, but he didn't want to stay in this place anymore. He thought of the money as money to ward off disaster, so he asked, "How much do you need?"

The servant held up five fingers.

Master Yuan said as a matter of course: "Fifty taels?"

The servant shook his head and said, "It's five hundred taels."

Master Yuan was so angry. Five hundred taels, this was really an exorbitant amount of money. But if he gritted his teeth, his family should be able to come up with some.

He said with a sad heart, "Go ask Madam for some silver. If it's not enough, just sell the things in my study." There were still some good things in his study.

"Yes, sir, I will do it right away."

Time passed quickly, and a few days later, the bailiff Liu Tan came to deliver food to Constable Han as usual.

Han Guang was also cautious and did not dare to eat the food brought by Liu Yayi, so he fed the food to the rats in the cell. After eating the food, the rats became lively and energetic. Only then did he dare to eat some of it. After all, the standard food in the cell was really unpalatable.

Seeing that there was no problem for a few days, Liu Ya asked him to write a document stating that the corruption had nothing to do with Yang Xiancheng, and he wrote it honestly.

However, the next day, the day after the document was signed, County Magistrate Zhong received news that Constable Han Guang had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
