Of course, the middle-aged man was also hoping for a lucky break. He thought that since Mr. Yi wasn't here and didn't have any relatives or friends here, how could he be sure that he had rented the place? Besides, if he didn't want to rent it, it would be even better. He could collect the rent himself.
Lu Mingyun checked the situation of this man surnamed Yi, Yi Huan, who was from Quanzhou. He had indeed come to Su County to do business, but he left soon after and now settled in Jiangnan.
Seeing that nothing more useful could be found, Lu Mingyun and the others had people search the house carefully after they moved out. However, they searched for three days but found nothing.
Later, at Mo Yi's suggestion, they drained the water from the pond and started digging.
This time they actually dug up something. There was a complete stone slab buried under the pool. The appearance of the stone slab was a bit strange, so Mo Yi asked someone to lift the stone slab up. When they lifted it up, they saw a secret door.
There is a hidden space under the pool.
Although this discovery was expected, it still shocked Lu Mingyun, who felt that the worst-case scenario had become a reality.
The hidden space under the pool was not big. Mo Yi went down and found two boxes, which contained the account books that were said to have been burned in the previous files.
Sure enough, those people did not burn the account books.
Lu Mingyun got the account book and immediately stayed up all night to check it. After Mo Yi found the things, he followed Lu Mingyun's instructions and returned to Li Mofu. Shang Jiu continued to follow Lu Mingyun and would not rest until Lu Mingyun slept.
Su County is a very ordinary county, nothing special about it, and those people took advantage of this "ordinary" and "inconspicuous" characteristic and did something.
Casting weapons.
Ordinary ironware and small swords can naturally be purchased at ironware shops allowed by the government office, and the blacksmiths there are also recorded and registered.
However, large-scale weapon casting requires a notice from above. Even without the notice from above, at least permission from the county government is required before blacksmiths can be summoned to make the weapons.
This involved all aspects of the county government, among which the account book was the most difficult to handle, because the wages of those blacksmiths came from the county government household, not to mention that a fake "permission to cast" notice was issued, all of which had to be recorded in the account book to explain the reasons.
The dossier could have omitted this incident and simply embellished the preceding and following events, but the account books wouldn't match if the information was altered. Furthermore, the county government's expenses were almost the same every year, so disguising this money as something else would have been very unsettling.
Since it's all sudden, it's better to just say there's a fire. There's nothing to check if you want to.
But those people certainly wouldn't dare to actually destroy the account books. After all, the magistrate of Su County would have to leave sooner or later. If he listened to you while he was here, what would happen after he left? He might abandon his evil ways and join the good.
Keeping it is not only for your own convenience, but also serves as a handle.
But those people didn't take the account books away...
Do you think it is the safest place here, or is it because there was not enough time to transport it away?
Lu Mingyun was a little confused.
If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it.
Because the appearance of this batch of weapons has clearly indicated the direction of this matter.
Someone is raising a private army.
This is a capital crime.
The iron ore and molds were provided by those people. The former county magistrate of Su County provided the blacksmith and the location. If we want to investigate, can we start with the iron ore...
But does he really want to investigate further?
It's still cold in mid-February, but there are more sunny days, and it's a little warmer when you stay in the sun.
The two kittens became energetic and grew visibly bigger.
They got up very early every day these days, and as soon as they got up, they climbed onto Li Mofu's bed, climbed up from the corner of the quilt that was hanging down, and then harassed Li Mofu.
The little orange cat was very active. It jumped onto the bulge in Li Mofu's quilt, then crawled along his waist to his face, and stretched its head to sniff Li Mofu.
