Chapter 187 There are human lives on this, don’t touch it...
After Ji Xingle and Cheng Dongli reached a consensus, they chatted for a while...
Soon, the servants brought up the food. As the three of them were eating, Ji Xingle suddenly remembered the laws of marrying a husband here.
I have been here several times but have not seen her husband and children. I was curious and asked, "Sister Li, why haven't you seen my brother-in-law and his family?"
"Oh! Them? They are eating in the side yard!"
Hearing this, Ji Xingle nodded, said nothing more, and continued eating.
After a while, Cheng Dongli suddenly slapped her head and said in annoyance;
"It's my problem. Let's have dinner together tomorrow and arrange for you to get to know each other. After all, we are all family. It would be unreasonable if you don't know each other."
Season of pleasure; "————Go."
She was just curious and thought that husbands from wealthy families did not live in the same house.
Cheng Shenshen did not participate in this topic, but stood aside and silently picked up food for Ji Xingle. As a man, he understood what his sister meant...
She simply thinks her husband is unimportant and not worth mentioning. Maybe she has no bad intentions, but she just doesn't take him seriously in her subconscious...
Ji Xingle, who was enjoying Cheng Shenshen's feeding, noticed that he was in a low mood and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Cheng Shenshen instantly calmed down the disappointment in his heart and said with a smile;
"I'm not feeling unwell. Eat quickly. You've worked hard all day. You need to eat enough."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ji Xingle didn't ask any more questions. Thinking about the topic they just talked about, it must be because of this that he was unhappy, so he changed the subject;
"Okay~ Then please give me some more food..."
"Good~"
Cheng Shenshen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ji Xingle didn't ask any further questions.
Cheng Dongli rolled her eyes at the two people being so annoying, and said sarcastically;
"Hey! You forgot about your sister after you had a wife..."
"Pfft~"
Seeing his sister like this, Cheng Shenshen couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said while pinching;
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you..."
Seeing this, Ji Xingle also picked up some food for Cheng Dongli and said with a smile, "Sister Li, eat more..."
Cheng Dongli snorted proudly, "You guys have some conscience."
Hearing this, Ji Xingle and Cheng Shenshen looked at each other and smiled secretly...
After dinner, Ji Xingle thought about what he had to do in the evening, said goodbye to the siblings and left.
Late at night~
Arriving at the backyard of the government office, where Yao Mei lived, thinking of her expression during the day, there must be something wrong.
Feeling that there were people on guard nearby, Ji Xingle took out his tranquilizer gun.
"Bang!" Six people fell to the ground instantly...
I went to the study and searched around, and finally noticed something was wrong in an inconspicuous corner, so I reached in and touched...
As expected, Ji Xingle got the thing. He flipped it open and saw that it was an account book. He glanced at the page again and saw that it was a different color from what he had seen during the day.
Continue reading, in April of the 54th year of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the imperial court approved 500,000 taels of silver for disaster relief...
In December of the 60th year of the Yuan Dynasty, a snowstorm hit Jiangnan, and the imperial court approved one million taels of silver...
Yuan......
All in all, Yao Mei had embezzled disaster relief funds and bribes totaling tens of millions of taels of silver during his thirty years in office. No wonder she would feel relieved!
If this is discovered, it will be a serious crime of confiscation of property and extermination of the clan, tut tut tut...
It is true that wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk, and there is a reason for that.
Ji Xingle put the book back to its place, and found the secret room in the study. After entering, he saw more than thirty identical boxes inside.
When he opened it, he saw that it was all silver. He picked up the silver and looked at the bottom. After confirming that it was not disaster relief money, Ji Xingle breathed a sigh of relief.
Click, click, click, and put all the boxes into the space.
When I came to Yao Mei's bedroom, wow! There were four young men lying on it. They really knew how to enjoy themselves. It was the first time I saw such a big bed.
Ji Xingle gave several people anesthesia and searched the room, but found nothing suspicious. Could it be that the silver was divided into several houses?
Tens of millions! Add to that the income from her shop and the harvest from the farm, she would never be able to spend it all in this lifetime.
Standing there, he glanced at the big bed casually, "Big bed..."
Fortunately, because of the cold weather, they were all wearing clothes. Ji Xingle quickly pulled them down, lifted up the mattress, and removed the wooden board.
"Huh? Did I guess wrong?"
"wrong."
Whose bed has wooden planks layered one after another? There must be something wrong. Ji Xingle took away two more wooden planks and saw a hole.
He took out a flashlight and entered the secret room...
"Oh my god! It's so spectacular..."
Ji Xingle was really shocked by the scene before him. Rows of processed silver, the size of red bricks, were piled around him.
This guy was really greedy. After taking all the silver, he melted it and made each of them into bills of hundreds of taels in size.
Seeing this, Ji Xingle counted out the silver for disaster relief. This kind of money cannot be taken casually, and the man surnamed Yao was greedy for the money.
Countless people have died as a result of natural disasters. These are all human lives and cannot be touched.
Let’s just wait for the third princess to arrive and let them handle it themselves!
Put all the extra money into the space. This amount of silver is much more than the thirty boxes just now.
Ji Xingle left the secret room, restored the bed and the people to their original state, and ran to the warehouse, opened the boxes and put all the valuables into the space.
It would be better to leave some boxes on the surface as a pretense, at least until the Third Princess's people come and find them...
I gained a lot tonight and I’m in a great mood!

When she got home, she saw Zhang Dalan standing in the yard. Before she could speak, Ji Xingle spoke first;
"You don't have to keep watch tonight. Go and get some rest! You'll have a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Seeing this, Zhang Dalan had no choice but to say, "Yes, mistress, do you need some hot water?"
"Well, get ready!"
Ji Xingle went into the space and worked for a while, then looked around and touched the silver, then came out contentedly to wash and sleep...

The next day
Ji Xingle inspected several shops. Because it was snowing, except for the hot pot restaurant, the rest of the business was not very good...
After shopping for a while, I picked out some gifts for adults and children and went to Cheng's house.
Cheng Family
Cheng Shenshen thought that Ji Xingle was coming to her house for dinner, so she didn't go to the restaurant today because she knew that she was very particular about food.
I got up early in the morning and ordered shopping to buy fresh ingredients.
As a result, many of the ingredients he selected were not available for purchase due to weather conditions.
Just as he was about to go to the hot pot restaurant to get some ingredients, he saw Ji Xingle walk in, followed by servants carrying large and small bags.
The steps to walk out paused...
Ji Xingle saw Cheng Shenshen's anxious expression, and was stunned again when he saw her. He walked up to him and joked with amusement;
"When did you learn the face-changing performance?"
Cheng Shenshen: "——Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Puff~
They said you can change your face very quickly, which is very good. "
