In the morning of the next day, Wang Xiaotong actually checked all the books for several years.
Although there are not many account books in one county, and Wang Xiaotong did not check all of them.
Instead, it is about checking accounts that have huge numbers and are easier to falsify.
But such speed is enough to prove Wang Xiaotong's efficiency.
Li Min saw Wang Xiaotong standing in front of him with a haggard face and his eyes were red and bloodshot, so he guessed that he had been checking the accounts all night.
Li Min couldn't help but said to Wang Xiaotong: "Why are you still staying up late? Didn't I tell you that there is no rush? Your health is important. Don't work so hard in the future."
Wang Xiaotong nodded gratefully, then took a few account books and said excitedly to Li Min: "Your Highness, my subordinates have found out. This Zhao Youcai has served as the county magistrate for a total of three years. During this period, what can be found in the account books?"
The shortage of funds has reached one million yuan!"
What?
This is just one county. In just three years, Zhao Youcai was able to embezzle a million dollars?
Is this something that can only be found in the account books?
What about those that were not found in the account books? How many are there?
Well, if this number is placed in future generations, it is really not that much.
One million yuan is equivalent to more than two million yuan in future generations.
In later generations, a county-level cadre would earn more than two million yuan in three years, and he really would not be ranked high.
But you must know that this is in Datang!
How much can the per capita annual income of Datang reach?
Did the Tang Dynasty have such prosperous commerce as later generations? Where could there be so many commercial taxes?
These more than one million dollars are all donated by the people!
Next, Wang Xiaotong pointed out to Li Min in detail that there were problems with the accounts in the account books and that they were false accounts.
After reading it, Li Min nodded secretly.
Yes, there must be something wrong with what Wang Xiaotong pointed out.
In fact, this Zhao Youcai is not just a useless idiot.
This fake accounting was actually done to a certain level.
At least on the bright side, there is no flaw at all.
But Wang Xiaotong had no choice but to use the re-examination audit method, and also applied some audit methods from later audit bureaus.
In the face of such later-generation methods, these false accounts are like fireflies in the dark night, so dazzling and distinct.
With these false accounts, Li Min can safely touch Zhao Youcai.
"Come here, lead a team to investigate Magistrate Zhao's home!"
This time, Li Min did not use the county government officials.
Li Min didn't know whether these government officials had colluded with Zhao Youcai or what their relationship was.
Li Min couldn't use them with confidence.
This time, Li Min personally led the team, taking Xue Rengui and two hundred escort troops, and went straight to Zhao Youcai's residence.
Zhao Youcai's mansion is more than two miles away from the county government office and is located in the most prosperous place in the county.
Along the way, many people saw the newly arrived governor setting out in great force with two hundred officers and soldiers, and they were all in awe and fear.
In just two days, the Governor's miraculous method of solving the case had spread like wildfire throughout the county.
It has even spread to the neighboring county.
It will probably not take long before everyone in Yizhou knows about it.
The people loved this governor from the bottom of their hearts, who loved the people like a son and solved cases like a god.
Of course, these people were in awe because of the ferocity with which the Grand Governor treated the three witnesses and Butler Zhao during the trial.
These people all followed the army one after another, wanting to follow behind to see what the governor was going to do.
Not long after, I saw the Grand Governor leading his officers and soldiers to the residence of County Magistrate Zhao Youcai.
Could it be that the Grand Governor wanted to raid County Magistrate Zhao’s home?
The next moment, their suspicion was confirmed.
Zhao Youcai was arrested, and the people in Zhao Youcai's house were naturally panicked.
Mrs. Zhao ran around everywhere, including her family, her natal family, and even the governor Lin Jue.
But unfortunately, the Grand Governor had no money and there was no way he could do anything about it.
The servants of the Zhao family have also been camping around in the past two days, and some even took the opportunity to secretly take advantage of it.
In short, in the past two days, everything in the Zhao Mansion was in chaos.
Recently, a group of officers and soldiers came to their house.
The concierge of the Zhao Mansion opened the door cautiously and asked, "Who are you? This is the Zhao Mansion, what do you want to do?"
Li Min said in a deep voice: "I am the Governor of Yizhou. I found out that Zhao Youcai was squandering human life and corrupting the law. This time, I am bringing people to search the house! Anyone who gives in or resists will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing Li Min's words, the concierge trembled and collapsed to the ground.
It’s over!
The Grand Governor actually personally brought people to search the house. This time, it was completely over!
Li Min, on the other hand, ignored the concierge at all and left a hundred people behind to surround the entire Zhao Mansion.
The remaining people entered the Zhao Mansion and ransacked the property.
The people who followed outside all clapped their hands and cheered after seeing this scene.
This is really a natural cycle, and retribution is unpleasant!
This Zhao Youcai was unruly, greedy, and extortionate, and the people had long hated him.
Now, as soon as the Grand Governor arrived, he captured him and now even ransacked his home. It was really satisfying!
After a group of officers and soldiers entered the Zhao Mansion, the whole Zhao Mansion suddenly became agitated.
Fortunately, these soldiers were all brought out by Xue Rengui. They have strict military discipline and do no harm to the female relatives in the mansion.
The entire process of searching the house was carried out quickly and efficiently.
The wealth in the Zhao Mansion even made Li Min, who came to search the house, feel dumbfounded.
In cash alone, more than 1.65 million were copied.
As for the precious calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and pearl agate, there are even more.
Even if Li Min didn't understand the market, a rough estimate would be that he still had as much as five to six million dollars.
Unexpectedly, the accounts in the account books are really just the tip of the iceberg.
In fact, Zhao Youcai's greed for money has reached such an astonishing level. He is really a big rat!
Well, as for what Mrs. Zhao was crying about, it included her dowry and the money distributed by the Zhao family itself, so Li Min automatically ignored it.
No matter what kind of money it is, as long as it is stolen from a house, it is all dirty money.
Next, it took ten carriages to transport all the belongings.
As for the Zhenguan tables, Zhenguan chairs, and some furniture made of fine yellow pear wood in the house, Li Min didn't touch them, so he didn't kill them all.
After the Zhao family was confiscated, the next step was naturally to interrogate Zhao Youcai.
Well, as for whether the process is correct and whether there are any inversions, Li Min doesn't care so much.
