C79 Stealing Money Ben

Yu Longzi didn't enter the magistrate office, he just greeted the disaster victims outside the door. The disaster victims who were supporting the old man watched Yu Longzi's every move through the holes in the tent. Their eyes were filled with an unpleasant feeling, as if they were probing and peeping at him.

He was originally an ordinary farmer, but his strength was greater and he knew how to use his fists and kicks. Because he valued friendship and loved to help others, in his original village, everyone respected him.

After experiencing the disaster and escaping, he had seen through the coldness and warmth of human affairs. In his eyes, people in the government were all small marten of the same tribe, only thinking about their own career. He did not care about the lives of the disaster victims. Now that a prince had come, he naturally thought that Yu Longzi was just pretending. Protecting those officials and officials was the so-called black crows in the world.

Yu Longzi noticed his gaze, but he didn't mind it. If he made good use of it, it would be a good knife that could strangle Yu Longtang's throat.

The county magistrate was quick. In less than fifteen minutes, he had yamen runner carry out a few barrels of thick porridge and a few baskets of steamed buns. The disaster victims immediately felt their strength. During these days of suffering, they had never seen such good food.

Yu Longzi personally cooked the porridge, and the county magistrate handed the steamed buns to him. No matter how anxious the disaster victims were, they did not dare offend Yu Longzi. They obediently lined up and stared at the porridge and steamed buns. Their saliva even reached the entrance.

Every person who came, Yu Longzi would smile and call them. After that, he smiled and said, "Everyone, eat first. If it's not enough, we'll call again!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Everyone was grateful, and some even cried out in satisfaction.

After the disaster victims took the food, Yu Longzi ordered the yamen runner to prepare the bowls and chopsticks. He carried the porridge and steamed buns and personally walked to the dilapidated tent to give to those who were physically weak and could not get up.

Yu Longzi also asked the county magistrate to invite the county doctor to treat the sick disaster victims. He would pay for all the expenses. This series of actions had earned Yu Longzi a good reputation. Not only had he received the support of the people, but he had also gotten rid of a thorn in his side. Why not just do it quickly?

There was only one person who was silently staring at Yu Longzi, and Yu Longzi allowed him to do as he pleased.

After he was almost done with his work, Yu Longzi brought the county magistrate and yamen runner back to the government office. The government office was not considered big, but it should be the best house in the county.

The magistrate had been smiling apologetically in front of Yu Longzi, afraid that he would offend this Buddha again.

The first thing he did after entering the magistrate court was to check the accounts. The magistrate had already prepared the accounts. He placed them on the table. Yu Longzi sat in front of the office table and flipped through the accounts. His expression became more and more solemn as he flipped through the accounts. He only looked at the first few pages, then casually flipped through the rest. His tone was slightly relaxed. "Alright, you did well. However, in the future, the food will be distributed according to today's distribution. If there is any lack, he lifted a long token and threw it in front of the table.

The county magistrate moved his body. He had suffered a lot of fright today. After that, he led Yu Longzi to the best room in the government office and arranged a few servant girl to serve him.

Yu Longzi did not want any of them. Instead, he warned the county magistrate to be careful. He leaned on the wooden bed and thought about the account book just now. The fake account book was made of water and not a drop of water could be seen. Even the front part was like this, let alone the back part...

Since Yu Longzi came, the disaster victims had a much better life than before. When they were full, the sick people also slowly got better because of the medicine doctors. Yu Longzi responded to the local people and disaster victims and built simple houses in the outer ring. He gave the disaster victims a place to settle down and circled a few desolate lands for the disaster victims to reclaim. The disaster victims had finally settled down.

The disaster victims treated Yu Longzi as a Bodhisattva who had saved their lives, and they were extremely respectful to him. Yu Longzi, on the other hand, was modest. He did not receive their daily greetings.

The disaster victims' house was almost fully built. Yu Longzi was inspecting outside and the disaster person who had been secretly observing him saw him. He went forward and knelt down respectfully. His attitude was humble. "The grass people have come to apologize to His Highness!"

" Oh? What crime?" Yu Longzi's interest was finally softened.

"I didn't know that His Highness was kind to me. I apologize for my offense. "

" Stand up, you are not guilty, the one who is guilty is the county magistrate What is your name?" Yu Longzi's voice lowered a little. He was only willing to say it to him alone.

"The surname of the commoner is Li, and his name is Lin." Li Lin was thick and strong, and his voice was deep. When he thought about what the county magistrate had done, he hated him. Such a corrupt official deserved to die.

"Li Lin, let me ask you, are you willing to help this prince get rid of this corrupt official?" Yu Longzi's gaze was firm, and no one could reject it.

Li Lin's heart was filled with loyalty. He had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time. Thus, he nodded his head firmly.

"Alright, tonight at night, if you don't let the yamen runner find out that you're in my room... I'll leave this matter to you. If you're discovered... Leave immediately, and don't stay any longer." Yu Longzi helped him up and whispered a few words into his ear. Then, he looked around, as if nothing had happened. He went to another place to comfort the disaster victims.

It was midnight. Yu Longzi lit a candle and read a book in front of the table. His eyes were not focused on the book. His fingers were on the table. It was indeed just a low-level citizen. Could he not do such a thing?

"Greetings, Your Highness." Li Lin's footsteps were heavy, and his forehead was beaded with sweat. He had spent a great deal of effort on this journey.

Yu Longzi was somewhat pleasantly surprised. After all, he had never imagined that he would actually come. Smiling, he helped him up. "Has anyone discovered it?"

"No." Li Lin looked outside the door and walked back to close it.

"Do you know that there is an account book in this government office that records the total amount of relief rations sent from the capital, as well as the records from each level, and the records of the rations distributed to you every day?"

"Your Highness, this is..."

"That's right. When this prince came, this county magistrate gave a fake account book, making it watertight. Are you willing to steal the real account book?"

" This... " Li Lin hesitated. Gripping his finger, he paused for a moment.

"This account book is of great importance. If you can obtain it, you can use this opportunity to clear up the murky waters of the royal court. Then, every place will definitely be prosperous... "

" The peasants are willing! " Li Lin lowered his head and bowed.

Yu Longzi patted his shoulder. "Alright, go to his study and bedroom to look for him."

"Come over here. This is a map drawn by the few Japanese princes after their observations. The Ming Japanese princes will hold the county magistrate back, you go to his study to take a look first. Especially those hidden spaces, they can't be more than fifteen minutes. If not... You should quickly step out. The route has been marked. If you succeed, you can go back home and put away the account books. I am the prince. I will find you. " Yu Longzi took out the map, pointed at the red symbol, and looked at Li Lin.

Li Lin silently noted it down in his heart. Yu Longzi then took out a set of Nightstalker Robes and gave it to him, asking him to return first. When the battle began tomorrow, Li Lin put away his belongings, bowed, and carefully left.

Yu Longchen took off his outer robe and laid down on the bed. He was in a good mood. Yu Longtang, my good second brother, are you ready to accept my challenge?

The next afternoon, Yu Longzi first got yamen runner to order the best food in the county's restaurant, and then invited the county magistrate to gather in his room at night. The county magistrate was very much looking forward to it, and he was busy preparing the gifts for the day.

As night fell, the county magistrate arrived as scheduled. He first exchanged a few words with Yu Longzi and then ordered people to carry his "thin gift."

Li Lin's expression was nervous. This was the first time he had stolen something, and it was also the first time he had stolen something in the government office. He went around a few yamen runner that were searching for the night and found a time to change shifts. He rushed over as fast as he could and hid in the corner, breaking out in cold sweat. It was truly exciting...

By the time he arrived at the county magistrate's study, he was already drenched in sweat. There were no candles lit in the study. When Li Lin touched a few things, he nearly failed to hold onto them. Usually, there was no one outside the study, so he lit a candle as he thought about it. Lifting the candle in his hand, he carefully searched and found no clues in the study. He then went to look for the hidden compartment.

He knocked on the desk. It was solid wood. Time was almost up, and Li Lin was starting to panic. He anxiously searched on the wall and stepped on a floor. With a 'kacha' sound, Li Lin stomped on it a few more times. As expected, there was a book on the floor. He hurriedly put it away. He placed the wooden board back to its original position.

"There's light in the study, come quickly!" Hearing the sound outside, Li Lin was taken aback. He pinched the wick with his hand and held it in his mouth. Then, he jumped out of the window...
