Great Wei scholar

First of all, they are not stupid, if they were fooled once, how could they be fooled a second time?

After suffering a loss once, but also suffering a second time, then the officials of Da Wei can all die in the line of duty.

So I have to do the things at hand as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether it is difficult or not, it must be done well. Once it is done, the rest will be left to the emperor.

Go back to the main office.

Before he could sit down, an official came in immediately.

"Xu...Xu! Master Xu, this is the file related to the disaster relief case in Pingqiu Mansion, please take a look."

The scroll official trembled a little, and seemed a little scared, not daring to look directly at Xu Qingxiao.

"Put it here, thanks for your hard work."

Xu Qingxiao smiled gently and let him put it on the table.

"Oh, okay, Mr. Xu, take a look. If there is anything, you can say hello, and your subordinates will wait outside the door."

The scroll official nodded, put down the things slowly, and quickly retreated.

There is no way, what Xu Qingxiao did before is still vivid, who dares to be rude?

Seeing the latter leave, Xu Qingxiao didn't think much about it.

Pick up the sent file, and then start to read it carefully.

【Pingqiu Prefecture Disaster Relief Case】

Roughly speaking, the Pingqiu Mansion was hit by a drought, the imperial court allocated 3000 million taels of silver, the governor Zhang Nantian embezzled 2000 million taels of silver, and the remaining 1000 million taels of silver were handed out, and very few of them fell into the hands of refugees.

Later, the imperial court sent people to inspect and found that there were still numerous casualties in Pingqiu Mansion, and there was even a case of changing sons and eating them.

The suspect, Zhang Nantian, killed his whole family and hanged himself without waiting for the court to deal with him.

But the stolen money is unknown.

So the main point of this dossier is to find the stolen money.

As long as the account is found, the case can be finalized.

2000 million taels of silver.

Xu Qingxiao felt a little emotional, if he solved this case, it wouldn't be too much to be promoted to Yuanwailang, right?

Dawei's annual tax should be around [-] million taels of silver.

It sounds like a lot, but what is the actual population of Great Wei?According to limited statistics, at least 30 million.

There are no black households in this.

With such a huge population base here, the tax revenue is only ten million taels of silver.

In Xu Qingxiao's previous life, there was a dynasty called the Ming Dynasty, with a population of 500 million. Not counting its decline, under normal circumstances, there would be 2000 million to [-] million taels of silver.

The population of the Great Wei Dynasty was ten times that of the Ming Dynasty, but the tax revenue did not reach ten times, and the larger the population, the more qualitative and quantitative changes occurred. At the very least, land reclamation was a little easier.

At least there is an extraordinary system here, as long as conditions permit, it can be done by moving mountains and reclamation.

Therefore, Wei's treasury income is completely rubbish, and there is another point, that is, the issue of expenditure.

Last year, 500 million taels of silver were spent, and the treasury had a balance of 500 million taels of silver.

It is barely bearable, but the problem is that the growth rate and the expenditure rate are not in direct contrast.

Still making a fuss about going to the Northern Expedition and fighting.

how to spell?

Take your life to fight?

So if he broke the case and recovered 2000 million taels of stolen silver, he would not be under any pressure at all to be promoted to Yuanwailang, and it would not be too much for 27 Lisi Langzhong.

2000 million taels of silver.

It is equivalent to picking up for nothing. With this money, the court can do something.

However, Dawei's tax revenue is so low, which still needs to be verified. After all, I have not entered the household department, so I definitely don't know what kind of data it is. Only after entering the household department can I know the current situation of Dawei.

Xu Qingxiao felt that it was a bit demeaning. With a population of 30 million, the annual tax revenue was only [-] million taels of silver, and it showed a downward trend every year.

The Northern Expedition can be used as an excuse, but this data is too outrageous and a bit weird.

It's just that Xu Qingxiao didn't think much about it right now, and he did his own things well first, and this kind of thing is also a matter for the future.

Fetch the new dossier data.

Xu Qingxiao began to handle the case seriously.

[Pingqiu Mansion Disaster Relief Case File [-]]

Wu Yuan 45 years.

The seventh day of March.

Li Jianquan, the head of the Pingqiu Official Division of the Ministry of Punishment, was ordered to thoroughly investigate Zhang Nantian's disaster relief case.

The officials found out that Zhang Nantian's whole family died in one blow. Although there were multiple sword wounds on his body, it was suspected that the wounds were repaired later.

The lower officials believed that even if Zhang Nantian was worried that the court would convict his family and his family would be implicated, he must not be so decisive, especially Zhang Nantian's three sons and one daughter died in one blow. According to the minister's 20 years of experience in handling cases, fathers , It is absolutely impossible to be so decisive when taking action against one's own children, at least one person needs to hesitate.

April fifteen.

The next official, the head of the Pingqiu Office of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Jianquan.

After a thorough investigation, it was confirmed that Zhang Nantian secretly practiced different techniques, and his intentions were not correct, so he was already bewildered, so he ruthlessly attacked his children.

The officials believed that the case was due to the fact that Zhang Nantian practiced different skills and became insane.

This is the first dossier, Xu Qingxiao unfolded the second dossier without thinking too much.

[Pingqiu Mansion Disaster Relief Case File II]

Wu Yuan 45 years.

The eighth day of September.

The next official Linlan Mansion Yamen arrested the head, looked around, and was ordered to investigate the disaster relief case of Pingqiu Mansion.

After several months of tracking and investigation, the root of Zhang Nantian's practice of the strange art, the ruler of Pingqiu Mansion, was discovered by the officials. The strange art Zhang Nantian practiced was called Daluo Tianshu.

This technique comes from the kingdom of heaven on the sea. If you want to practice this technique, you need an incomparably strong energy channel, otherwise it will be difficult to control. It can be found through Zhang Nantian's corpse that Zhang Nantian's energy channel is mediocre.

On the contrary, it was like being forcibly opened up by someone, and it was difficult to practice Daluo Tianshu. The officials thought that there must be something wrong with this matter.

September [-]th.

Xiaguan, Linlan Mansion Yamen arrests the head and looks around.

After being checked by the lower officials, the relevant reasons were found out. Zhang Nantian swallowed an evil fruit, which can instantly open up the energy channels, so he created the illusion of being forcibly opened.

But after Zhang Nantian practiced this strange technique, his mind became confused, so he killed his whole family.

The lower officials believed that this case was caused by a strange technique.

-

The second file was slowly put down by Xu Qingxiao.

Xu Qingxiao took out the third dossier to read.

Just like that, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

There are a total of nineteen files in front of you.

And starting from the fifth copy, they are all tracking the whereabouts of the 'stolen silver'.

It belongs to all kinds of reasoning, without any actual evidence and clues.

It's completely my own guess.

After reading all nineteen files, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help frowning.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

At the moment, Xu Qingxiao continued to read carefully from the first dossier.

After Zhang Nantian's death, after the Ministry of Criminal Justice tentatively finalized the case, the first person to take over was Li Jianquan, who was arrested by the Pingqiu Bureau of Officials and had decades of experience in reconnaissance.

From the beginning of the article, he thought this incident was a bit weird, because after examining the bodies of Zhang Nantian's family, the autopsy found that everyone was killed by one blow, and the wounds on their bodies were all added later.

The reason why I find it weird is that no matter how desperate Zhang Nantian is, it is impossible for Zhang Nantian to attack his children like this. Even if he is so resolute and ruthless to his children, why does he need to add new injuries?

Have nothing to do when you are full?This is obviously impossible.

And if you are so determined because you don't want your children to suffer a second time, why don't you choose to escape?

A person with such a mind would definitely not commit suicide by embezzling stolen money?He should have thought of running away at the first moment, but if he couldn't run away, then killing the whole family would be no problem.

One hit kill plus new damage.

This is a suspicious point, Xu Qingxiao believes in the content of the dossier.

It's just Li Jianquan's later addition, explaining all this.

He practiced different techniques, and his intentions were not correct, so that after killing the whole family, he became completely insane, and only added new injuries.

This reason can be established, strange magic, evil things, if a person goes crazy, then all irrationality is normal.

And the second dossier.

It is a continuation of the first dossier to continue the investigation.

Starting from the strange art, he investigated and found that this strange art is called 'Da Luo Tian Shu', which comes from the sea heaven, that is, the place in the north.

It is not a big problem for the strange arts to be passed on. After all, it is not particularly difficult for the king of a family to get a copy of the strange arts.

It's just that the premise of practicing this strange technique is that the energy channels are twice as strong as ordinary people, but Zhang Nan's air channels are extremely ordinary, but it seems to be forcibly opened.

But there are also supplements and explanations later, eating some kind of strange fruit, forcibly opening up the Qi veins, and then practicing strange arts.

It is also logically tenable.

And the third dossier.

It is to search for the source of the strange fruit, and found that although this kind of strange fruit can forcibly open up the Qi veins, the fatality rate is very high. Normally, even if someone wants to practice the Da Luo Tianshu, he would not dare to take risks.

It is already very dangerous to practice strange arts by itself. If you eat this kind of fruit, the probability of survival is almost zero. Why does Zhang Nantian eat this strange fruit?

And why did Zhang Nantian practice different arts?He is doing well as a mansion lord, so what does he do with this thing of cultivation?

This idea of ​​solving the case is very good, but there is a new explanation soon.

The reason why Zhang Nantian took such a risk was because he embezzled 2000 million taels of silver and was threatened by others, but he couldn't eradicate the evil, so he took the risk of swallowing strange fruits and practicing strange magic.

In the end, he didn't expect his mind to sink, so he killed the whole family, and finally hanged himself with the last sliver of reason, so as not to harm the people again.

This is the content information of the third volume.

And the content information of the fourth volume is.

Why did Zhang Nantian commit suicide?His whole family is dead, even if he recovers a sliver of sanity, it stands to reason that he should fight to the death with the court, and no matter how bad it is, he must eradicate the person who has his own handle, right?

In any case, it is impossible to commit suicide, and since you really care about the people, you can't do anything that is corrupt and perverts the law.

So this logic is untenable, and I think there must be an unknown scene in it.

Only soon, new content appeared again.

The investigators found out that Zhang Nantian knew that he had committed a serious crime, and he could not take action against the person who threatened him. Moreover, he had another heir who escaped, suspected to have gone to the Heaven on the Sea. He did not want to harm the people, and was afraid that the court would kill the grass, so he committed suicide. I hope the imperial court will take this into account and forgive his descendants.

This is the content of the fourth volume.

The content of the fifth volume is still a continuation of the investigation of the fourth volume.

The investigator of the fifth volume thinks that this matter will never be so simple. It is obviously unreasonable to embezzle the stolen money, leave the whole family without taking the whole family away, and let only one heir escape.

Moreover, after investigation, it was found that this was not Zhang Nantian's heir, but the housekeeper's only son. He had already died in the wilderness, starved to death, and was finally dismembered by wolves, but his veins were shattered.
