I can see the book of life and death

Jiangnan West Road, Jiujiang County, Xingguo County.

After handling various cases in the county government, it was already late at night. Thinking of his pregnant wife at home, Ruihai tidied up his clothes, changed into his official uniform, and hurried home in the dark.

Rui Hai's clothes are simple, and there are even patches on the top of his uniform, with fine stitching, which were made by his wife.

When I came home late at night, the light was still on in my wife's bedroom.

Seeing Ruihai come back, his wife smiled, offered a bowl of hot tea, and whispered softly: "Are you hungry? There are two steamed buns at home, and a steamed fish is still in the pot. It should still be hot.

With..."

The house is not small, but there are not many places where lights are lit at night.

Many of the appliances in the house are a little worn out, but they are kept clean and tidy and still respectable.

Seeing that his wife was a little thin, Ruihai felt a little guilty.

"You don't have to wait for me. You are pregnant. Go to bed early."

His wife didn't say anything, she just looked at him tenderly. Rui Hai couldn't help it, so he ate a hasty meal under the oil lamp and wrote in front of the oil lamp.

"The floods in the south of the Yangtze River are very serious. I thought it was due to the ruthlessness of fire and water, but after taking office, I found out that it was the ruthlessness of the wealthy gentry.

The Ministry of Industry allocates funds every year to build water conservancy projects, build dams, and dig ditches, and as a result, various officials have their hands full.

If the allocation of one hundred thousand taels can be implemented, it would be a blessing to have 10,000 taels.

Not to mention that the labor sent by various wealthy households is just enough to cope with the problem.

Are the wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River not afraid of floods? No.

The wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen all live in high-lying areas. Although there are floods, it is difficult to enter their homes.

On the contrary, the poor people have lost their families and families due to floods, and their ancestral properties can only be sold at low prices in order to survive..."

In a memorial submitted to the top, Ruihai scolded all the people in charge of various matters.

Although he did not have the Jianyi investigation report that Zhang Mingtu spent ten years producing, but as the head of a county, he was also quite aware of the various interests in Xingguo County.

The memorial article he wrote was equally earth-shattering, much more sensational than the memorial Zhang Mingtu wrote as Jinyiwei Xiaoqi.

…

In Jianyi, in a remote and dark alley, a black figure paused for two steps, tapped its toes on the ground twice, climbed over the wall and entered a dilapidated house.

The house is spacious and has a courtyard with three entrances, but it has obviously been in disrepair for many years and is uninhabited.

There are many spider webs in the corners, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds.

It can be seen that it must have been a prosperous and wealthy family back then, but it fell into ruins for unknown reasons.

The black figure carefully looked around the courtyard and found the largest mulberry tree on the side of the courtyard. In the moonlight, half of the black figure's face was exposed, and the rest was sharp and angular, and it was clearly Zhang Mingtu.

"It should be right here."

Zhang Mingtu carefully identified one or two, determined the location, exhaled his anger, and evenly shoveled up the approximately two meters of land on the ground. He also took a piece of cloth from beside him and placed all the newly dug soil on it.

superior.

About three feet into the ground, a vermilion wooden box came into Zhang Mingtu's eyes. He felt happy. Zhang Mingtu knew that he had probably found the right one this time.

There was a copper lock on the wooden box, but Zhang Mingtu just squeezed it with his hand, and the copper lock fell off.

Opening the wooden box in the moonlight, a bright yellow light made Zhang Mingtu's eyes light up.

I was very happy. I roughly estimated that there were dozens of taels of gold and even more silver.

Although Zhang Mingtu took out the wooden box without chaos, filled all the new soil back into the pit, compacted it evenly with Zhenqi, and finally gently covered the cut piece of land.

After taking a closer look, he couldn't see any flaws, and erased all traces of his entry. After that, Zhang Mingtu held up the wooden box with one hand, turned around and disappeared into the courtyard.

After returning home quietly, Zhang Jishi and Wang Yulan had already fallen asleep after a busy day.

Zhang Mingtu let out a gentle breath, but felt that he was being too careful, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

However, there is no room for sloppiness or carelessness in what is to be done next, and no one can be too careful.

As a secret guard of Jin Yiwei, he stayed in Jianyi for ten years. Although it was recorded in the Book of Life and Death and many memories are unclear, Zhang Mingtu also knew quite a lot of secrets.

Especially if you practice Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra, you can gain some secrets from the obsessions of the dead souls.

In terms of understanding the secrets, Zhang Mingtu was ranked second in Jianyi, and no one dared to be ranked first.

Zhang Mingtu knew thirty-eight of the areas where money was stored in the dilapidated house alone. Moreover, this was a place where no one noticed after taking it out, and even if it was noticed, it would not be publicized.

As for where the property is stored, he knows more, hundreds of places.

However, Zhang Mingtu is not very obsessed with finances and has no intention of taking them all out. Now he is looking for a place where no one will find his property to excavate the property, also for the next step of his plan.

One of the most powerful figures he knew in the Great Xia Kingdom, a man named Rui Hai, lived in Jiujiang County, not far from Jianyi, and served as the county magistrate of Xingguo County in Jiujiang County.

This scholar has seen the most stubborn person in his life experience of hundreds of years in Zhang Ming's picture and the book of life and death.

He was from a truly poor family, and was born on the most remote island in Daxia.

In the early years, those who passed the provincial examination could be elected as county magistrates in various places according to the national policy of Daxia.

But one of them had no family, and the other was not appreciated by anyone. He wasted many years, and it was not until he was forty years old that he had the opportunity to become the county magistrate of a place.

If you become a county magistrate in the land south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how many people will die from envy.

In this remote corner of Jianyi, Han Qiong had only been here for five or six years, and it was enough for him to marry the top local gentry.

The lavishness of his children is no less than that of any top tycoon and wealthy businessman. When the house was ransacked, there were tens of thousands of taels of silver in the house.

This is equivalent to the accumulated accumulation of a local family’s business over decades or hundreds of years.

Even if you don't join in the corruption, you just turn a blind eye and don't participate in various incidents, you can still be rich and wealthy for a lifetime, which is equivalent to the decades of accumulation of an ordinary family.

After all, three years to clear the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.

In the luxurious land of Jiangnan, the leader of a county also has the same power.

However, Ruihai neither conforms to the trend nor turns a blind eye, and is whiter than the snowflakes falling in the winter sunset.

He also wanted to go against the local wealthy gentry.

Zhang Mingtu had never heard of this man's reputation before, until the magistrate of Xingguo County used manpower and material resources to cure the floods in Xingguo County that had not been cured by many emperors for hundreds of years.

Moreover, he did not even spend all the money that the imperial court had used for water conservancy projects over the years, and left more than half of it, which shows his talent.

If you are willing to write a colorful article and praise officials and superiors from all over Xingguo County, your future prospects are limitless.

It happened that this person stated the interests and reported the actual situation in Xingguo County.
