The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

Unexpectedly, the family of the old man and the child whom he had trampled to death with his horse actually produced a notable figure, namely, Xiao Yan, the magistrate of Dengping County.

He has heard a lot about Xiao Yan's deeds recently. Dengping County is really too famous in Yuzhou now.

Pang Lihao was naturally frightened.

He was indeed more worried about Xiao Yan's revenge. After all, he was the culprit who trampled Xiao Yan's brother and grandfather to death.

What's more, he is just a commoner. Even if he has a lot of money, he is still a commoner, and others are officials.

He was worried that if Xiao Yan knew that he was the culprit, he would come after him now.

Unlike Prefect Yao, who holds a higher position than Xiao Yan, unless Xiao Yan becomes a higher official than Prefect Yao in the future, he will not be able to overthrow Prefect Yao.

Besides, any normal person would want to avenge the murder of their brother and grandfather! Xiao Yan would definitely want to do the same and would definitely do it!

The more Pang Lihao thought about it, the harder it became for him to calm down.

He also felt more and more that he should kill Xiao Yan secretly.

Kill Xiao Yan before he knows that he, the culprit, is in the capital city.

Pang Lihao secretly hired several assassins for a large sum of money to kill Xiao Yan overnight.

And let those killers pretend that Xiao Yan was killed by bandits.

Those killers were desperate criminals who would do anything for money, so naturally they came to Dengping County immediately.

However, they had just arrived at the county government office and were hiding on the roof of the room where Xiao Yan lived, when suddenly a wind came from nowhere and blew them all down from the roof.

If they didn't do anything, they would naturally roll down one after another.

Fortunately, they were not dead yet, and they all lay in front of Xiao Yan.

The yamen runners immediately placed their knives on their necks.

It turned out that Xiao Yan was not in the house, but standing in the yard.

The killers were all stunned. What was going on? Were they captured?

Xiao Yan interrogated these people personally.

Those killers were stubborn at first and refused to reveal who sent them, but they could not stand Xiao Yan's powerful interrogation methods.

Afterwards, the assassins were almost as frightened as if they had seen the King of Hell when they saw Xiao Yan. They hurriedly confessed in fear: "It was Master Pang Lihao who sent us here!"

As soon as Xiao Yan heard the surname Pang, he knew that this was the person who rode the horse.

The original owner knew from the beginning that the person who rode his horse to trample his brother and grandfather to death was the young master of the Pang family, a wealthy family in the town. Later, this wealthy family moved away and no one knew where he moved to.

Fortunately, the person was finally lured out.

It was worth it that he asked Xiao Jia to make a special trip to the provincial capital.

"Where is he now?" Xiao Yan asked.

The assassins immediately said, "He's in Yuzhou City. He does a huge business. He owns the Pang's Cloth Shop and the Pang's Herbal Medicine Shop!"

Xiao Yan thought that since they were all in Yuzhou Prefecture, it would be easier to solve the problem this way.

It just so happened that his county was short of money, and the entire Yuzhou was also short of money, so they had to take action against Yao Yifeng and Pang Lihao as soon as possible.

So, when Xiao Yan was alone late at night, he used his ability to control the wind, wrapped himself up, and quickly sent himself back home.

I picked up Jiang Ningning and went to the provincial capital.

He can control the wind, and naturally the speed, he can make it slow or fast as he wants.

By the time they arrived at Yuzhou Prefecture, it had not even been a cup of tea.

The reason why Jiang Ningning was asked to come as well is because Jiang Ningning's mental power has evolved and has control over people's bodies.

He came to the provincial capital to find the evidence that would cause Yao Yifeng and Pang Lihao to have their homes confiscated. It would be a waste of time to search slowly, so the best strategy was to let his wife control the other person's body and take the initiative to take out the evidence and hand it over to them.

At this time, Yao Yifeng and Pang Lihao were probably asleep. Even if his wife controlled their bodies, they probably still thought they were asleep and would not realize that they had produced evidence of their own crimes.

Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning came to the Pang family without anyone noticing.

Actually, Pang Lihao couldn't fall asleep at first because of what happened during the day, but the night was too long and he gradually felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

In this situation, the human body is more easily controlled by Jiang Ningning, just like hypnosis.

No matter what you ask him, he can answer it without even thinking.

After Jiang Ningning controlled Pang Lihao's body, Pang Lihao turned over and climbed out of the bed, as if he was getting up in the middle of the night, and staggered out of the room.

Pang Lihao lived with his concubine tonight. The concubine slept much more deeply, so even if Pang Lihao got up, the concubine would not wake up.

Jiang Ningning asked Pang Lihao's body to go to the place Pang Lihao often went to, which was the study.

No, it's the secret room in the study.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan saw that Pang Lihao seemed to be unaware of anything. He just moved some things and the bookshelves moved away, revealing a secret room. They looked at each other.

Xiao Yan then asked, "Are all your important things hidden in here?"

Pang Lihao nodded slowly, still as if he was asleep.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan didn't ask any more questions and simply went in to take a look for themselves.

There are all kinds of gold, silver and jade articles, a lot of silver bills, and a lot of letters and accounts.

There was also a box hidden in a secret compartment in the secret room, which was locked. Pang Lihao picked up the box in a daze and gave it to Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan.

He even took out the key from his clothes and opened the box.

The box was full of letters and a list of names.

The list contained the names of all officials. The highest-ranking one was naturally Magistrate Yao, and the lowest, including the county magistrates of some counties, were all given money by Pang Lihao. The amount was followed by the names, and the exact amount of money given each time was recorded clearly.

The letters were naturally correspondence with these officials.

Jiang Ningning opened the top letter and found that it was actually a secret letter that Yao Yifeng had written to Pang Lihao, asking Pang Lihao to help kill several people who wanted to go to the capital to seek justice.

He opened another letter, which was from a county magistrate to Pang Lihao.

A lot of money was saved last year when the river embankment was being repaired. These officials were corrupt and only had a little money left, which they used to buy moldy rice and flour for the people who were repairing the river embankment, and many people died from it.

The families of the deceased went to the county government office to make a scene. The county magistrate was reluctant to deal with the matter in front of the people, so he asked Yao Yifeng to deal with it secretly and promised that all the medicinal materials in their county could only be sold to Pang's Medicine Shop.

I opened a few more letters, all of which were secret letters.

It is obvious that those officials wanted Pang Lihao to do something bad. Pang Lihao was probably afraid that things would explode in the future, or that these officials would turn against him, so he kept these letters and did not burn them, using them as a handle against those officials.

Xiao Yan also opened several letters and was shocked.

I really think that Pang Lihao deserves to be beheaded several times, as he has helped those officials do so many evil things in private.

Those officials deserve to die too.

The letter and the list were put back into the box and Xiao Yan took them.

Jiang Ningning then controlled Pang Lihao and put away the key to the box.

As long as the key is with Pang Lihao, he will not come to check the secret room for a while after he wakes up.
