Li Yi frowned. Taicang is also the Ming Dynasty's silver warehouse. Although the thirty thousand taels were stolen during transportation, it was not that easy. And the theory of stealing cannot be established at all, because there are not enough manpower to carry the carriage.

, how can 30,000 taels of silver be transported away easily, so the key lies in Taicang.

With a thought, Li Yi followed the conclusion to find the origin of the 30,000 taels of silver.

It seems that the person who did the accounting is very smart and has a wide range of sources. Li Yi searched for the account books according to the sources recorded above and checked them one by one, but found no problems.

Finally, when he traced the tax documents of Jiangnan Province, he discovered something fishy.

The summer tax recorded above was 737,800 taels, but 500,000 taels were immediately taken away by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and only 230,000 taels were deposited in Taicang, and these 230,000 taels were paid in various forms.

Among them, the money was allocated to Yuan Chonghuan. However, according to the accounting above, there were more than 100,000 taels of deficiencies in the verification. As he continued to review the account books of the money allocated to the Yamen, Li Yi discovered that there were actually 40,000 taels of money.

In and out.

In other words, there is a gap of 40,000 taels in the Taicang record of the silver disbursed and the yamen received. So where did the 40,000 taels go?

Don't think about it, it must have been stolen by some people.

Seeing this, Li Yi finally understood why 30,000 taels of silver never appeared in this case from beginning to end.

That's because these 30,000 taels of silver do not exist at all. These 30,000 taels are a deficit in the warehouse. But now, through the Momen case, the deficit of 30,000 taels is regarded as stolen by Momen. In fact, it is not at all

There is no such thing as 30,000 taels of silver. The people at Taicang Bank are all lying.

Obviously, what they want is to use this case to hide the truth about the embezzlement of money, so that everyone in Momen will take the blame and be imprisoned.

It has to be said that this move is extremely clever. If no one specially checks the account books and compares them one by one to look for errors, the money deficit will definitely not be discovered, and everyone in Momen will die unjustly with the crime.

Become the best scapegoat for those corrupt officials.

"Haha, I want to see what you will do if you have the evidence." Li Yi sneered.

He found all the documents and account books that recorded the evidence, and then looked for some substitutes to fill them in. If no one looked through them, they would not be able to find them.

"Li Yi, what are you doing?" Zhuang Rou looked at Li Yi and asked in a low voice.

Li Yi turned his head and looked at Zhuang Rou's curious eyes, handed the booklet to her, and said calmly, "These are the evidence to overturn the case for your senior sister and master. Get it."

Hearing that this was the evidence, Zhuang Rou's eyes suddenly widened, and she quickly hugged the booklet, carefully wrapped it and carried it on her back. Seeing her cautious look, Li Yi felt relieved.

"Then let's leave now. It's so dark here and it's scary. Let's go back as soon as possible to find a way to overturn the case and rescue my master." Zhuang Rou said quickly.

It can be seen that she is very eager to rescue her master and others.

But Li Yi did not agree. Instead, he turned around and looked in the direction of the stairs. It was pitch dark and he couldn't see anything, but Li Yi felt it and believed in his feeling.

"Come out, you have been hiding there and watching for so long, what do you want to do?" Li Yi shouted in a deep voice.

When Zhuang Rou heard this, she immediately panicked and looked carefully in the direction of the stairs, ready to go.

There was a brief silence, and just when Li Yi thought he felt wrong, two people in night clothes slowly walked out of the darkness.

The two of them walked steadily and had long breaths. It looked like they had practiced martial arts.

Li Yi looked up and down. One of them had thick arms and a wide waist and abdomen. He looked like a martial artist practicing boxing, while the other one had a slender body and impressive momentum. He was probably a master of weapons.

The two people walked out slowly, stopped by the first row of bookshelves, and looked at Li Yi solemnly.

"I didn't expect him to discover us. It's a strange thing." One person spoke softly and said to the person next to him: "Zicheng, could it be that you just exposed yourself?"

These two people are Li Zicheng and Ji Jike.

This is the important place of Taicang. Facing two masters, Li Yi also looked solemn.

"Boy, I see that you are not old, but you are quite smart. Let the woman hand over the things in her hands to us, and you can leave." Li Zicheng said in a low voice.

"Leave the things to you?" Li Yi looked back at the booklet on Zhuang Rou's back and said coldly: "So you are also here for the Momen case?"

"What a smart boy." Ji Jike smiled softly, "But if you are really smart, you shouldn't think so much. Now you still have a chance, put down your things."

"The voice sounds like that of a child. I think he is also a descendant of the Mo clan. He came here to look for clues." Li Zicheng sighed softly, "But he is too smart, which is actually not a good thing for himself."

Li Yi's heart moved slightly. Although he didn't know the identity of this group of people, it was obvious that they didn't have much priority for him.

But no matter what, these documents are related to whether the Momen can be cleared of suspected crimes, and Li Yi absolutely cannot give them to them.
