Chapter 281 Already Wet
There was a loud bang, and a hole appeared on the big butt of the Buddha statue. Feihu then hit it with two more hammers, and the hollow Buddha statue collapsed to the size of a basket, revealing neatly stacked boxes inside.
The guards were delighted and realized that the Buddha statue was pretending to be a god. They raised their hammers and smashed it hard, expanding the hole.
After a short pause, some constables climbed up and carried out the boxes one by one. They smashed the boxes open and found that inside were golden gold and white silver wrapped in Taoist robes.
Mad, what is this called?
The Buddha has changed his nature and is laying golden eggs and silver bullets.
Everyone looked in amazement at the Taoist robe packages that were constantly being moved out, all of which were filled with gold and silver.
The inspector immediately sent someone to inform the Transportation Department to come and take inventory. Without waiting for Zhao Yulin's further instructions, the guards and constables picked up hammers and smashed anything they saw.
Soon, the transport envoys Hua Yue and Ding Gong arrived. When they saw the constables taking out gold and silver from the belly of the smashed Buddha statue, they were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and were speechless.
Ding Gong asked Zhao Yulin in surprise how he knew that the dirty silver was hidden inside the Buddha statue?
He smiled and said that the abbot had given instructions.
During the meeting in the morning, although the Censor looked calm, his blood pressure rose by 280. After returning to his mansion, he immediately asked the maid to prepare water for bathing, and his underwear was already soaked.
The Censor had just washed himself and climbed out of the bathtub when his confidant knocked on the door and reported in a panic: "Master, it's bad. The Taoist priest has confessed. All our silver has been seized by Zhao Qi'er."
The Censor was just standing by the bathtub. When he heard the news, he was so frightened that his blood rushed to his head, his head was spinning, and he fell into the bathtub with a plop, gulping down the bath water.
When the servant heard the noise, he rushed in and helped him up. After quickly dressing him, he helped him sit on the armchair to rest and recuperate.
He began to curse Zhao Qier.
My Immortal, is there any way to torture people like this?
Didn’t you know that I have heart disease and high blood pressure?
Damn Zhao Qier, just come and arrest me now that you have evidence against me.
Is it the general who is playing such a cat-and-mouse trick on me?
Little did he know that Zhao Yulin was just a blind cat that smacked a dead mouse and got a bargain for free.
At this moment, our Third Young Master was admiring the Buddha statues and immortals that had been ripped open one by one. He thought to himself, what kind of Buddha is this? It's hard to say what a clay or wooden sculpture is. After being used by thieves, it became a tool for evildoing. It really made all the pain and grievances and the good and evil of the world just laugh it off.
Zhao Yulin found the dirty silver and stolen goods from the canal transport crimes. Lao Cao was in a good mood and sent people to invite him to the government office for a drink to celebrate. The guards went to the residence of the Chief Censor to send a message for a drink, but the Censor refused on the pretext of feeling unwell.
This was the first time that Zhao Yulin saw the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner absent from a gathering of officials, and he thought to himself that this old man was not going to be able to maintain his stability.
Lao Cao said with a smile that the lewd abbot of the Yishengmi Sect had spoken out and some people were going to get restless.
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
Mr. Ding sighed again and said that it was not easy to be an official. There were people involved in corruption and lawsuits in various departments in Chengdu, so we had to keep a close eye on them.
He said that if you are upright, you don't have to worry about your shadow being crooked. As long as you walk and sit upright, what is there to be afraid of?
Then he raised his glass and invited everyone to drink.
The Chief Justice could no longer sit still at home and began to analyze why Shunfeng didn't arrest him.
The case in Xinjin led to the discovery of the One Liter of Rice Sect and the smuggling of salt from the Changping Warehouse by grain transport ships. Further, the evil deeds of the One Liter of Rice Sect were discovered in the downstream area, which led to Zhao Qier taking action to eradicate the sect.
He has nothing to do with this.
While he was still thinking about it, an insider in the government office sent him a message: Lord Ding invited people to a dinner, and Lord Cao laughed and said that someone must be restless, and they must have obtained a lot of clues, so Lord should escape while the city gates are not yet under martial law.
The Censor broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this .
Damn, Zhao Qier is really like a cat playing with a mouse, he is teasing me.
The Chief Justice didn't believe it, and he didn't want to see the Taoist monk betray him. The two of them came from the same village, worked for the young master together, and supported each other all the way to where they are today.
However, Zhao Qier directly smashed the Buddha statue, so it was not easy to find the dirty silver.
This method of storing the silver was also his idea. He took advantage of the expansion of the main altar of the One Liter of Rice Sect and built the illegal proceeds into the Buddha statue. He also killed all the people who carried the silver and sealed the statue.
This is the secret that only he and the Taoist monk Ma Gan know.
Now, Zhao Yulin smashed the Buddha statues one by one and seized all the dirty silver.
Why is this so?
There is only one answer, it must be that the Taoist robe and the stick can't bear it.
The Chief Justice's brain was working at high speed, and beads of sweat were pouring down his forehead. He really couldn't understand why Zhao Qi'er didn't arrest him since his fellow Taoist abbot had confessed.
Zhao Qier has always been ruthless and decisive. What happened today?
He shook his head vigorously and shuddered, convinced that his good friend, Ma Gan in Taoist robe, had honestly confessed his betrayal. The reason why Zhao Yulin did not arrest him was that the abbot, his good friend, thought that he was alone and had to carry out the instructions of the eldest young master who had been lurking for a long time, and was playing with him just to see his embarrassed and ugly appearance.
The Censor made up his mind and decided: among the thirty-six strategies, the best one is to escape.
“Humph, do you really think that I can’t escape and will just sit there and wait for death?”
He called his master, the servant who was responsible for transporting manure, over and whispered instructions to him. The master took immediate action, immediately dragged out a large manure cart from the mansion, quickly put all the gold and silver valuables into the large manure bucket, left the mansion through the small door, and stopped in the alley outside his own yard to rest.
On the second floor at the corner at the end of the alley, behind a half-open window, a pair of eyes were staring at the situation in the backyard of the Censor's house. The two runners from Wuxu and Jiashen in the house had been guarding for a day and a night, and now there was finally movement.
Wuxu said "Huh?" and asked, "What are you doing? You have to dump manure water in the afternoon?"
Jiashen immediately went over and saw a large cart carrying manure parked in the alley. The driver was raising his felt hat to fan himself and look around while taking a break.
Jiashen felt something was wrong immediately. It was already the end of October, and we were waiting in the cold. How could he feel hot after walking a few steps out of the mansion?
He must be pretending to be cool and covering up the situation.
The two continued to observe, and suddenly saw the man in the felt hat bend down, pull away a large wooden board next to the wall of the judicial inspector's house, and a man in gorgeous clothes crawled out from the ground, quickly climbed onto the dung cart and got into the dung bucket.
Damn it, this must be the Censor trying to escape.
He actually used such an unexpected trick.
The two of them immediately gave a signal.
The manure cart in the alley over there has been pulled up and is heading towards the street, and someone is immediately following it in the wind.
It was already dark. After receiving the news, Xu Zhiyuan hesitated for a while, and finally took the action team to the west city gate to wait.
As soon as the manure cart came over, it was stopped and inspected. Even though the man in felt hat showed the pass from the provincial inspector's house, he was still not allowed to pass and started arguing fiercely.
At this time, Xu Zhiyuan came out.
He walked around the dung cart and said that the formalities were complete and there was nothing unusual, so he let it go. The soldier guarding the city gate removed the obstacles, and Felt Hat put the rope on the cart on his shoulders and was about to drag the dung cart out of the city gate.
At this time, Wuxu and Jiashen arrived and shouted that they could not leave. They told Xu Zhiyuan that they saw someone get into the manure cart with their own eyes.
Wuxu stood on the car and found a reed pipe dangling at the entrance of the dung bucket. He immediately grabbed it and pulled it up. Immediately, a coughing sound came from the dung bucket, and a person carrying dung on his head quickly got out...
Zhao Yulin and his companions were drinking in the back hall of the government office when they suddenly smelled a foul odor of manure.
Mr. Ding looked outside immediately and found that the Censor walked in shivering with disheveled hair and dirty face, followed by Xu Zhiyuan and several constables.
He quickly took two steps forward and asked with concern: What's wrong with Mr. Leng?
Did you accidentally fall into the toilet?
Why are you here at the government office?
You are all old people, there is no need to report. Go back quickly to change clothes and drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold.
Lao Cao thought it was funny and told him to go back and change his clothes.
The Censor's surname was Leng, and he was indeed feeling very cold. He burst into tears and cursed Zhao Qi'er for being so aggressive, saying that he could arrest or kill anyone as he pleased, instead of torturing him like this.
Zhao Yulin was puzzled and asked Leng Gong innocently when he had been tortured. He swears to God, he never did that and never sent anyone to arrest him.
Zhao Yulin asked Mr. Leng what crime he had committed that deserved his arrest and imprisonment.
The Censor was immediately stunned and petrified.
Damn, what's wrong?
No one wants to catch him?
That means he hasn't been exposed yet.
We are all adults and it is impossible for us to joke so seriously in the government office.
The Provincial Surveillance Commissioner then realized that he had made a mistake in judgment and had been desperate to escape, thus exposing himself. He was extremely regretful and so angry that he collapsed to the ground.
Only then did Xu Zhiyuan have the opportunity to report: For some reason, Leng Gong got into a manure cart and tried to escape through the west gate, but was discovered by Shunfengchu and stopped back. A large amount of dirty silver was taken out of the manure bucket he was riding in, and Shunfengchu requested that his house be searched.
Damn it, this is truly dirty silver.
Zhao Yulin knew that Dongmei and the others had probably already taken action by now, so he said that the homes of corrupt officials should be searched, so let's do it.
Mr. Ding also waved his hand and ordered the prisoner to be taken away immediately.
Old Cao smelled the stench of feces in the room and said it was such a letdown, so he decided to just go home.
Mr. Ding also said that he was not in the mood anymore, so everyone left.
At this point, the major case of corruption in the grain transport industry and the deficit in the Changping Warehouse was finally solved, and the Shunfeng Office and the Inspection Bureau were busy arresting the criminals throughout the city.
When Zhao Yulin returned, two women were teaching a few older children. When Wu Jing saw him enter the room, she immediately went over to him and sobbed.
Zhao Yulin patted the little girl's shoulder with a smile, pulled her to sit on a chair and said, "You are all adults now, why are you crying?"
Is anyone bullying our little princess?
Ma Yuan immediately said: There were seniors in the academy who cursed our father, and Zhu Fugui went up to argue with them, and a fight broke out between the two sides. Mr. Zhang said that a gentleman uses words, not fists, and both of them were given twenty lashes of the board.
Chen Liu said with concern that Brother Fugui was still lying in bed and his butt must be very painful.
Ma Linger glared at them and said that they were all very tough guys. If they didn't stand by to cheer Fugui on, would Fugui fight with others?
