The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Tang Zhongbai nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll go check it out right away. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Jiang Muxia raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "It's not bitter, I'm waiting for you to rescue me."

Tang Zhongbai left the prison and went straight to the tavern with the account book.

Lu Chaoyun had been waiting in the tavern early. When he saw him coming from afar, he hurried to greet him.

"Tang Juecao, what's going on?" Lu Chaoyun grabbed his arm and asked expectantly.

"Auntie, don't worry, the truth will come out soon."

"Can I go see her in prison?"

"Don't go. I'll arrange for Hu Daxin to watch her in jail. Nothing will happen to her." Tang Zhongbai was anxious to check the account book. He pointed at the account book in Tang San and Tang Si's arms and said in a deep voice, "Aunt, look, the evidence is in here. I have to go find it quickly."

Lu Chaoyun quickly made way and let them in.

On the second floor of the tavern, Tang Zhongbai put the account book on the table, "Brother Xu, please help me. Draw the red line on the cover and the black line on the cover, and finally compare the cover without the line."

Xu Da understood, "Tang Si, go call Xu Cheng. He knows more about the accounts than any of us."

The room was filled with the sounds of flipping papers and clacking of abacus, occasionally accompanied by the sounds of questions and answers.

Near noon, the sound of abacus stopped.

Xu Chengzhang exhaled, "Okay."

Xu Da and Tang Zhongbai gathered around and looked in the direction Xu Cheng pointed. "Look, the account books with red lines on the cover have the same general headings as the account book with black lines on this cover. I circled them with a red pen. But they are the same as these categories." He pointed to the pile of account books without lines on the cover.

Xu Da and Tang Zhongbai looked at each other and confirmed, "Does this mean that the account book with nothing on the cover is a fake one?"

"That's right. This is a common trick used by merchants to evade taxes."

"But..." Tang Zhongbai hesitated, "How can we prove that the money recorded in these account books is the money they earned from human trafficking?"

Everyone was silent, and the situation was deadlocked again.

"I'll prove it." The door was pushed open and Wei Dong came in with an angry face.

He angrily cursed: "These beasts only treat people as commodities for sale. Yesterday, I went to the courtyard in the west of the city, found the couple surnamed Gao, and explained the consequences to them. Either their whole family will die, or only the two of them will die, or they will only serve ten years in prison. Let them choose."

"They chose to only serve ten years in prison, right? The price is to come forward to testify?" Tang Zhongbai said.

"Yes."

"How dare you agree to this? Their crimes will either lead to death or disability."

“As long as we can bring down Lin Xiao, the boss will lose an arm, and he will never dare to do evil again.” Wei Dong narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Gao couple and the Zhang Chuncao couple jointly presented evidence, and with these account books, it is hard to believe that he cannot be convicted.

"What will happen to Zhuzi's body?" Wei Dong asked, staring at Xu Da.

Xu Da shook his head. "I don't know. His poison was cured by someone else. I heard that it damaged his foundation. He is just trying to survive."

Wei Dong slammed his fist on the table. "Fuck, these bastards. Zhuzi has served him for so long, and he can do this to her. What a beast."

Tang Zhongbai walked forward and put his hand on his shoulder, "We are the ones who killed him. I will take care of his family from now on."

Wei Dong glared at him, knocked his hand down, and stood up. "Don't waste time. Miss Jiang is still in jail! Go to the yamen and show the evidence to Lord Feng. What a world!"

Tang Zhongbai took Tang San and Tang Si to the yamen in a hurry.

The study room at the back hall of Suanzao County Government Office.

Sitting opposite County Magistrate Feng was a man dressed in silk and with a solemn expression on his face.

There is an exquisite wooden box on the desk.

Feng Nian pushed the wooden box to the other side and said with a smile: "Wei Dalang, there is no need for us to be like this. I know why you are here. But now is different from the past. Such a big case must be reported to the county."

Wei Yuean pushed the box over. "So what? I don't believe there is anything Brother Feng can't do in Suanzao County."

Feng Nian shook his head and pushed the box over again. Wei Yuean's face darkened, "Brother Feng, what are you doing? Are you unwilling to help? Or do you not want to stay in Suanzao County anymore?"

Feng Nian frowned and smiled, "Of course I will stay here. To be honest with you, Brother Wei, there is a big shot in the county who is not to be trifled with. I am not helping you this time. If I help you, my official position will be in jeopardy, and you will also be implicated."

Wei Yuean thought it was an excuse and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother Feng, your lies are getting better and better. If you don't want to help, just say so. Why bother telling such a lie to deceive me?"

He picked up the box on the table, stood up, flicked the corner of his clothes, and was about to leave in anger.

Feng Nian quickly stood up, walked out of the desk, and stopped him with a smile.

"Brother Wei, why are you so angry? Sit down quickly and listen to me."

He told Yu Wei Yue'an everything Tang Zhongbai had done since he arrived in Suanzao County.

Finally, he whispered mysteriously in Wei Yuean's ear: "He is the second son of our Chenliu County Governor Tang, and his biological mother is the cousin of the current emperor."

Feng Nian straightened up, brushed his beard, glanced at him, and sighed: "Tell me, do I dare to go against him? I am just a small retainer of the Tang family, and my status is not even as high as that of a servant who is proud in front of the master!"

Wei Yuean calmed down, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "With him here, what's the point of you being a county magistrate? How about I recommend you to my master? Are you willing to go to the south?

Feng Nian's face lit up, and he whispered, "Really?"

Feng Nian had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He had long known that the Wei family had hooked up with a powerful prince of a different surname in the south. Although they were not mainstream in the capital, staying with the prince was naturally a hundred times better than staying in this small county.

More importantly, he can fulfill one person's wish. If he accomplishes this, he will be able to rise to prominence and bring honor to his family.

They were suffering from a lack of opportunities, but unexpectedly, Tang Zhongbai's arrival brought their plans forward.

"Of course, my master is in need of someone. Brother Feng is very intelligent and talented, so he is just the right person."

Feng Nian stepped forward and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Wei."

Wei Yuean put the box back on the desk. He stood up and said, "I wonder if there is any hope for Lin Xiao's case?"

Feng Nian knew that Lin Xiao was being targeted by Tang Zhongbai, and it was only a matter of time before he found evidence to frame him for murder.

"Brother Wei, you should just give up. Lin Xiao is beyond help."

Wei Yuean looked at him coldly for a long time, and finally sighed: "Forget it, everyone has their own destiny. If you want to blame someone, blame him for being too impulsive at the time."

"Brother Wei, take care."

As Wei Yuean walked to the door, he heard steady footsteps in the corridor. He knew it was Tang Zhongbai from the sound.

"Brother Wei, go out through the back door. If he sees you, he will definitely become suspicious."

Wei Yuean returned to the study angrily and left the yamen through the small door behind the bookshelf.

Tang Zhongbai walked into the study and immediately caught a glimpse of the exquisite wooden box on the table.
