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

After controlling Pang Lihao and making him lie back on the bed, Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan went to Yao Yifeng's residence.

Yao Yifeng, however, slept soundly and was in better control.

Jiang Ningning also obtained a lot of solid evidence, which were basically secret letters and lists.

There are also accounts of the relief money allocated by the imperial court to Yuzhou every year, and the spoils divided between Yao Yifeng and some officials.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan also discovered that Yao Yifeng was really greedy, and the gold, silver and jewelry were piled up in several rooms underground.

That's right. He has been an official for so many years and has been a prefect for ten years. He is in charge of such a large state. He has amassed a lot of wealth every year. The accumulated wealth is not just this much.

"Another fat sheep." Jiang Ningning said with a smile.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "It's better to say it's a fat wolf." Such a wicked person is nothing but a sheep.

Jiang Ningning nodded: "That makes sense."

After leaving Yao's house, Jiang Ningning asked again: "What are you going to do next?"

"Lord Liang Yuanrui only cares about the people. These people have harmed the people and embezzled so much of their money. If Lord Liang saw these evidences, he would definitely not tolerate it and would send them to the emperor." Xiao Yan said.

Jiang Ningning also trusted the character of Sir Liang Yuanrui. "I don't trust others with this, but it's not easy to ask Mr. Ji for help. I have to ask Sir Liang for help."

So, that night, Xiao Yan asked his guard Qian Ting to ride a fast horse and secretly deliver these hard evidences - letters, lists, etc. - to the capital, and make sure to hand them over to Lord Liang personally.

If it’s not Lord Liang, then it cannot be handed over. This is a matter of great importance.

Qian Ting, Zhou Ping and others were now extremely loyal to the Jiang and Xiao families, so they naturally ignored the darkness. Qian Ting immediately rode there, taking the things Xiao Yan had given him with him as if they were more important than his life.

Because Xiao Yan also wrote a post, he gave it to Qian Ting.

Therefore, as soon as Qian Ting arrived in the capital, he went to Lord Liang's house to hand in a visiting card, saying that he was from Xiao Yan's family and asked to see Lord Liang immediately.

Lord Liang had just finished court and was preparing to have breakfast. He had eaten two snacks before going to court and was now hungry. When he heard that someone from Xiao Yan's family came to pay a visit, he immediately asked someone to come in.

It was he who recommended Xiao Yan, and he also asked people to inquire about what Xiao Yan had done in Dengping County over the past two months. He was extremely satisfied.

This is a good official who does practical things for the people!

What’s more, his family came from thousands of miles away to visit him.

Qian Ting then handed over the things he had protected along the way to Lord Liang.

When Lord Liang saw this, his expression changed immediately: "He's a big pest to the country! He's harming the people and the country. Heaven will not tolerate this!"

There was no time to eat breakfast. Lord Liang quickly went into the palace to meet the emperor again.

Emperor Li was furious.

He immediately sent an imperial envoy to Yuzhou.

Arrest Yao Yifeng, Pang Lihao, and the others and conduct a thorough investigation. No one involved, regardless of rank or who's behind this, should be spared!

In less than ten days, everything was investigated and the homes of Yao Yifeng, Pang Lihao and others were raided.

Yao Yifeng alone confiscated 5 million taels of silver. Pang Lihao had a big business and his medicine shop and cloth shop made real money, so he confiscated more than 12 million taels of silver. Together with other officials, some merchants involved in the confiscated business, and Mr. Huang and others... the total amount of silver confiscated was more than 20 million taels of silver.

Emperor Li was even more furious.

Yao Yifeng and his men were beheaded immediately.

The officials who usually protected Yao Yifeng and recommended Yao Yifeng to be the prefect were also thoroughly investigated and their homes were searched, and hundreds of thousands of taels were seized.

Emperor Li was so angry that he was furious when he went to court for several days.

Emperor Li ordered that six million taels of silver be placed in Yuzhou as relief silver and distributed to the lower levels. The rest were transported to the capital and handed over to the national treasury.

This was the only thing that made Emperor Li happy. Although there were so many corrupt officials, a lot of money was recovered in the end.

He finally had some money in his treasury, which had been empty before.

But after all, it was Xiao Yan who found the solid evidence. Although Emperor Li did not give any other rewards, he did specifically instruct them to allocate more silver and money to Dengping County.

When the acting prefect of Yuzhou heard this, he naturally did not dare to say anything and immediately allocated one million taels from the six million taels to Xiao Yan.

Finally, the Dengping County Government where Xiao Yan worked had more financial resources.

As for other counties in Yuzhou, the acting prefects did not dare to delay. After all, Yao Yifeng and thirty or forty other officials had been beheaded, and even the second-rank official who recommended Yao Yifeng had been beheaded. Naturally, he was busy allocating silver to other counties as well.

But there are a total of ten counties in Yuzhou. Even if the other counties share the relief silver equally, it will not be as much as the one million taels of silver in Dengping County.

However, they were all allocated more than 500,000 taels, which helped alleviate many of the urgent needs of these counties.

Although Changlin County was the poorest county in Yuzhou, because it was the poorest, not many northern disaster victims fled there. Therefore, with these more than 500,000 taels, Changlin County suddenly became the most prosperous county in Yuzhou.

Dengping County has taken in the largest number of disaster victims from the north, so its level of well-being is now ranked several places lower among these counties, that is, it ranks at the bottom.

But this is not important. As long as no one in the county starves to death or freezes to death, it will be fine. With this money, these hungry people will not starve to death or freeze to death.

Naturally, those assassins were also beheaded. Assassinating an imperial official was a serious crime, and they had also committed many other heinous and unforgivable acts, so naturally they would not be let off.

When Ji Wei heard that his apprentice had even taken down the prefect, he rarely came to the yamen. He looked at his apprentice Xiao Yan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xiao Yan understood what he meant and suppressed a smile as he said, "Actually, I didn't do this alone. Ning Ning also helped a lot privately."

"You two, really are..." Ji Wei didn't know what to say, but in the end he didn't say anything. He left again and waved his hand, telling Xiao Yan not to see him off.

Xiao Yan found it even more amusing, but he didn't say anything and continued to handle his official business.

Yao Yifeng was the Wei County Magistrate, and Pang Lihao who was chopped was the one who rode his horse and trampled Xiao Shitou and Grandpa Xiao to death. Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning had naturally told the four people from the Tian family about this.

Tian and Xiao Fushan burst into tears almost instantly.

I never thought that I could take revenge.

The two of them immediately took some paper money and went to burn it at the graves of Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Shitou, telling them, "Dad, Shitou, you can rest in peace now. You can rest in peace now."

Tian and Xiao Fushan couldn't stop crying.

That day, Tian and Xiao Fushan cried for a long time in front of the graves of Xiao Shitou and Grandpa Xiao, until they had cried out all the sadness and anger they had accumulated over the years, and then they came back.

From then on, the bloody scars in Tian and Xiao Fushan's hearts finally scabbed over.

The other people in Dengping County were also happy that Yao Yifeng, the former magistrate of Wei County, had finally died.

Sure enough, it’s not that I won’t retaliate, the time has not yet come.

County Magistrate Yuan was both impressed and surprised.

I didn't expect that when their adults said they didn't have to worry about the money, he would find a way, and it turned out to be this way, to arrest the prefect and others and confiscate all their possessions.
