Qiao Qixin returned to the small courtyard, took out Liu Zhan's note from the space and read it carefully.
According to what is written above, Liu Zhan has been investigating the Li Mansion for two years.
Still haven't been discovered.
Qiao Qixin sighed silently, it is good to have a backstage.
Two years ago, a scandal involving tax embezzlement broke out in the Li Mansion, but the matter was suppressed by the Li Mansion using various means.
Someone once reported the matter to the court, but the emperor paid no attention to it, and the person who reported the matter died after going to court.
The matter of the dead person was made a fuss, and the talk was very popular, but it still did not touch the foundation of Li Mansion.
After that, even if another scandal broke out in the Li family, no one dared to deal with it seriously. They all just talked about it behind their backs.
Seeing this, Qiao Qixin could not understand Liu Zhan's thoughts more and more.
Two years have passed, and scandals have broken out repeatedly, but the Li family has not been brought down. Can it be brought down by just a corrupt account now?
Qiao Qixin looked down doubtfully.
The following paragraph records the specific scandal of the Li family, which is not important.
Then there is the matter about the daughter of the Li family, Li Zhirou.
When Li Zhirou was in her 28th year, she contracted a cold and had to stay at home ever since.
The Li Mansion claimed to the outside world that the young lady was practicing female virtue behind closed doors, but in fact it was Li Zhirou who had contracted a strange disease.
At the beginning, Li Zhirou did not leave the boudoir, and Liu Zhan's hidden guards could not find any useful clues.
Until one day, a charlatan came to the Li Mansion. He felt Li Zhirou's pulse and then told him how to treat the disease.
It is to find fresh and healthy girls to bleed, and use the blood and other medicinal materials to make pills and take them, which can prolong Li Zhirou's life.
The charlatan then disappeared inexplicably, and the hidden guards did not notice when he left.
Qiao Qixin read this paragraph over and over again, fearing that she had missed any words.
It turns out that it was this charlatan who caused me to be sold here.
Qiao Qixin was unable to express her anger.
Next is the record of the Li family privately buying young girls for bloodletting.
Over the course of a year and a half, hundreds of girls were bled to death here.
On average, a young girl only has three to four days left in her life after entering the Li Mansion.
Underneath the horrifying list is a recent investigation into disaster relief funds.
The imperial court allocated the first disaster relief funds in a few months, but it was not actually implemented in the drought-stricken areas. Half went into the private treasury of the Li family, and the other half went into the pockets of various local officials.
They are fishing for oil and water step by step, so that even the dregs at the lower level that are really needed are not visible.
Qiao Qixin couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this information.
As an insignificant commoner, her biggest dream in this life is peace and success.
But the premise of this dream is based on her having enough food and clothing.
"Ah..." Qiao Qixin shook off the water on the paper.
The imperial court will issue another wave of disaster relief funds in the near future, and Liu Zhan speculates that Li Shangshu will hide the accounts somewhere in the study.
All Qiao Qixin had to do was find out where the study was and then sneak in to find the accounts.
Easier said than done...
Qiao Qixin looked up at the sky.
She is already very good at being able to figure out the location of the study without being discovered.
[Ding! System update successful!]
Qiao Qixin sat up from her chair with excitement and shouted excitedly in her head.
Xiao Tong? Is it Xiao Tong? Are you back!?
[Host, the system has been updated and tasks will be released as usual]
Great! Xiao Tong, can you send me a simple task and take the opportunity to give me the map of Li Mansion?
