Chapter 1775: Chapter 1775 The Tooth Bank of Yongxia City
Not long after.
Just as Zhe Jue had prepared some items and they were waiting for night to fall, a person arrived.
"Commandery Governor Jin, please come in."
Zhe Jue welcomed Jin Jian, who was holding a box in his arms, inside.
"Commandery Governor Jin, what are you doing with a box in your arms?" Lin Caisang asked him, amused.
"Young Master, Miss, these are things the common people brought in front of the governmental office to plead their grievances and also some lists detailing the embezzlement of silver by people from General Su’s household. Would you two care to take a look?"
Jin Jian cautiously looked at the two of them and asked.
"Are there so few people appealing for justice? Just this little stuff?" Lin Caisang frowned and asked.
She had heard that previously, the area in front of the Commandery Governor’s Mansion was completely surrounded, so how could there be so few petitions?
Could there be some mistake?
"It’s just the lists, only lists. The papers for the petitions are all within the Commandery Governor’s Mansion," Jin Jian hurriedly explained.
"Ah."
This time, Lin Caisang was truly stunned—significantly more so than when she first saw that there were so few petitions.
The lists filled such a large box!
It showed just how many common people Su Wan’s family had caused to suffer, making her feel her head heat up!
"Cough, if the lists are already prepared, what is Commandery Governor Jin waiting for? Just send the stuff to the Capital," she cleared her throat and said.
"This..."
Hearing this, Jin Jian looked somewhat troubled at Lin Caisang.
"So much material, it’s impossible to send it as an urgent dispatch over eight hundred li. It must be transported by horse, Miss."
Previously, wasn’t it Lin Caisang who said that Su Wan’s crimes should be urgently sent over eight hundred li to Jianan City in the Capital? But now...
With boxes and boxes of accusations, how could they possibly dispatch them urgently over eight hundred li?
Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang also lowered her head to think.
"Sang’er, write a letter to the Emperor, ask him to send the Eldest Prince here. It’s not only about the crimes of Su Wan and others but also about Lotus Commandery, which needs to be properly reorganized," Zimo, seeing her hesitate, advised from beside her.
"The Eldest Prince also needs to be trained, otherwise, how will he govern in the future?"
After thinking it over, Lin Caisang nodded.
"Alright, I’ll write it now."
Saying this, she turned and walked to the table while Zimo personally prepared the ink, brush, paper, and inkstone for her.
...
Man Kingdom, Yongxia City.
Before they reached Yongxia City, Zimo and his companions had donned the clothing unique to Man Kingdom, disguising themselves so completely that they were indistinguishable as people from Liang Kingdom.
Even though they arrived in Yongxia City at night, the inn was always ready to serve any guests willing to stay, no matter the time, with a waiter always waiting.
"Waiter, which teeth agency in Yongxia City is the best?"
Zhe Jue took out a silver ingot and placed it in the waiter’s palm, causing the waiter’s face to blossom with joy.
"To the gentlemen and lady, there are many teeth agencies in Yongxia City, ah, but the one with the most slaves and considered the best is Wanling Agency. I’ve heard that the madam of Wanling often visits Lotus Commandery in Liang Kingdom.
Every year she brings back slaves from Lotus Commandery, and they are a favorite in the mansions of several nearby city lords."
Having received the silver, he was willing to tell the guests anything.
"But, ah, I’ve heard that those brought from Liang Kingdom are priced very high, and as soon as they arrive, they’re bought up by the city lords, leaving no chance for others to buy them."
"Is that so?"
Zhe Jue raised his eyebrows, touching his chin with one hand.
"Then I must go and have a good look."
