Chapter 235 - Treasure trove

Pu Sheng ordered his men to bring Jiang Li up. Jiang Li placed his hands on the ground and kowtowed, saying that he did not know Yue Xin was a murderous murderer.

"Chiang, take a look at these." Pu Sheng threw the account book and tax records that Qi Feng found onto the ground. Jiang Li looked up and saw the words "tax" written on it. Pu Sheng's arrival was too sudden, he did not even have the time to hide the account book.

All these years, he had been greedy for a lot of money. Now that Pu Sheng had discovered it, how long could he live?

"Lord, have mercy, Lord, this official did not control myself for a moment, so I did such a foolish thing, please have mercy!" Jiang Li said in a trembling voice.

Pu Sheng snorted coldly. Seeing these accounts, he was furious, he did not expect Jiang Li to covet several hundred thousand silver taels in less than two years, the number was truly astonishing.

"If I had known earlier, why would I have done what I did?" Pu Sheng narrowed his eyes. This kind of person was never forgiven, increasing the people's taxes just for his own personal gains. Pu Sheng said, "There is no medicine for regret in this world, but the higher-ups have decided to give you a chance, from today onwards, you will be demoted to the position of the Jiangzhou's Prefect, and be bestowed with the authority of the Prefecture."

The moment he said those words, Jiang Li's face turned ashen, and his hands began to tremble … Xinzhou, is that where people go? Xinzhou was desolate and its environment was dilapidated. Furthermore, it was only winter and summer in the four seasons of the year. It would be better to just take his life!

"Pull it down." Pu Sheng waved his hand. Jiang Li regained his senses and dragged his hands out. As he struggled, he shouted, "Lord, Lord..."

kite mother at the side saw everything and still had lingering fear.

"The Iris." When Pu Sheng called out her name, kite mother's face slightly changed. Yue Xin was already dead, so her Wind Moon Restaurant's business was as good as self-destructing, and Jiang Li was sent to another side. The next few days would be difficult for his, so whenhe looked back at Pu Sheng with his eyes slightly wide open, she waved his hands and said, "Lord, it's not my fault! Yue Xin killed a murderer! I don't know about this, I really don't know! "

"After so many murders, do you think the Wind Moon Restaurant can continue? I had long known that you and Jiang Li were colluding together. Since you couldn't escape this time, I punished you to leave the Jiangzhou and never again step half a step into the Jiangzhou. " Pu Sheng said in a low voice as he got his men to drag her out.

Qing Yao watched happily from the side, she did not expect Pu Sheng to be so fair in handling the case, as expected, it was not a false rumor.

Pu Sheng's gaze fell on Hong Kou, and his tone became slightly solemn: "Hong Kou, you helped Yue Xin hide her corpse to cover up her crime, do you recognize this matter?"

Hong Kou lowered her head: "I will."

"Yes." Pu Sheng nodded his head, he had always given clear rewards and punishments, so even though he was wrong, it was fortunate that it was not out of the ordinary.

Hong Kou lowered his head, her expression showing no sorrows. She held her hand tightly on her knee as if she was determined to do something. Suddenly, she raised her head, rushed to Constable Feng, snatched the sword from his hand, and thrust it upward into her abdomen. Blood spurted out like a flower.

Everyone present were shocked, Pu Sheng also stood up from his chair, looking at the dead Hong Kou, he was slightly startled, and slowly regained his senses.

Qing Yao found it hard to accept, and asked Yun Qin: "Is she stupid! The matter has already been resolved, so why are you still committing suicide! "

She had already expected what happened just now, it was just that Hong Kou's movements were too fast, she did not have enough time to stop him.

She thought that she might know why Hong Kou wanted to do this. Unfortunately, this fresh life was gone just like that.

Pu Sheng sighed, he never thought that she would choose to end his life this way.

The murder case was solved. Pu Sheng told Qi Feng to pack up his stuff and prepared to leave, while Yun Qin and Qing Yao came to send him off. Qing Yao saying that he was a good official amused Pu Sheng. "What is a bad officer in your eyes?"

"Those who are greedy and embezzle the law, view human life as grass and engage in malpractice for personal gain. Jiang Li is the best example. " Qing Yao counted in detail, and when she spoke about Jiang Li, she could not help but become somewhat angry.

"Hahaha, this girl." Pu Sheng laughed, took the luggage and put it on the carriage, then said to them, "This case is all thanks to you, the new Prefect will be arriving soon, and you will help him handle the case in the future, how about it?"

"Assistance? "Really?" Yun Qin was excited, she had always been interested in handling such cases ever since she was young, if there was such a chance, it would be good, since staying home would be boring.

Pu Sheng nodded, and said a few words before getting on the carriage: "If fate wills it, we'll meet again, you guys can go back."

"Take care, Lord Pu." Yun Qin and Qing Yao said at the same time.

Meanwhile, in the capital …

Su Zhan found out that the treasure trove was in the Great Lakes' Azure Province and brought a group of people to the Azure Province. Su Zhan came to the location marked on the map. In the center of the place was a piece of green grass, with a clear green pond in the middle. Rocks on the side broke through the soil and rose up high into the sky, trees and trees.

He stood in his original spot and looked around, then compared the map with his voice. "This is the place."

Who would have thought that after so long, the Heavens would finally let him find this treasure land? Once he obtained the treasure and obtained the Glazed medallion, he would be able to ascend to the throne. Who cares about Ye Qun! Hahaha!

Su Zhan was secretly pleased in his heart. He ordered her subordinates to search, but they were unable to find the entrance to the cave even after a long time. He narrowed his eyes and said, "There must be a mechanism here.

The subordinate replied, "Yes."

After looking around, one of his subordinates ran over and said, "Master, we've discovered a mechanism. It's beside the rock."

Su Zhan was overjoyed upon hearing this, and brought his people over to have a look. He only saw an octagonal shaped rock, then raised his hand and twisted it, and with a resounding sound, a stone door not far away slowly opened, revealing a lump of black object. It was undoubtedly the cave entrance.

After walking a few steps, they heard the sound of arrows being shot, and then, the two people walking in front fell to the ground. Su Zhan pulled out the sword at his waist and released the arrows that flew over, reminding everyone: "There's a mechanism, everybody be careful."

This was within his expectations. After all, this was a place of treasure. It was impossible for their ancestors to not set up traps.

Leading his men forward, Su Zhan warned, "Don't let down your guard. There are still many dangers waiting for us ahead."

He continued to move forward, avoiding three types of traps along the way. However, the number of people following him became fewer and fewer. All of them died in the traps.
