The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 244

[Chapter 244 Finding Evidence of Corruption]

The governor thought so, and his wishful thinking became more precise.

This gentleman has a strong background, so he must seize this opportunity. The

middle-aged man saw the governor’s expression, and with a flash of disdain in his eyes, he casually said a few perfunctory words.

“Don’t worry about this. Although the money you gave is not much, if there is a chance, I will definitely help you to say a few good words in front of the emperor.”

The governor’s expression brightened slightly, and he took the initiative to sit next to the middle-aged gentleman, patted his legs with both hands, and complimented him with a smile.

“Sir, thank you so much! Please accept this money first. If I have other valuables, I will also send them to you.”

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes rolled and his face suddenly sank. He

is really a fool.

Frequent contacts will only arouse suspicion.

If someone finds out, nothing can be done.

He told the governor: “Don’t come to me for a while! You’d better be careful and don’t be discovered, otherwise these things will not be so simple.”

“But sir, what if I need your help? Can I still come to this yard to find you?”

The middle-aged man suddenly smiled coldly, “I finally understand why you are a small local official governor. Haven’t you heard a word?”

“Sir, I…”

“You’d better not ask things that you shouldn’t ask, otherwise you won’t have the opportunity to speak well of you in the court.” The governor

was shocked and his pupils widened. He

asked too many questions just now, and I’m afraid he has angered this sir.

If it’s bad and makes the sir unhappy, there will be no chance of promotion!

He quickly apologized tactfully, and nodded and said a lot of good things to please the middle-aged man.

Then, he went back quietly.

After Lin Tian came back, he put the remaining valuable treasures in the room.

Xu Wenxuan happened to come to him and saw the treasures in his room. His eyes lit up and he picked up the white jadeite and began to observe.

“Lin Tian, these top-quality treasures should not be yours, right? Tell me quickly, where did you get them from?”

The last time he came to Lin Tian’s room, he had never seen these treasures at all.

So he was very sure that this thing did not belong to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian did not hide anything and told him about sneaking into the governor’s mansion yesterday.

“I didn’t see any silver, so I took all these treasures away! I sold one in the morning and gave the money to the people in the nearby village to rebuild their homes.”

“I didn’t expect our Master Lin to be so kind, but why didn’t you sell these treasures?”

“The owner of the pawnshop said that the funds were not enough, so I stayed. If you know someone who wants to buy, you can tell me.”

“Don’t worry, if I have a suitable person here, I will definitely notify you.”

After Xu Wenxuan finished speaking, he put down the treasure in his hand.

He talked to Lin Tian about what the governor did, which was really infuriating.

Later, he proposed that this time he and Lin Tian sneak into the governor’s mansion together to find evidence of the governor’s corruption and abuse of power.

Try to wipe out the governor in one fell swoop.

Lin Tian agreed, and entered the governor’s mansion with Xu Wenxuan that night.

When Lin Tian came yesterday, he entered from the side door. When they planned to set out from that side again, they found that there were already guards guarding there.

They looked at each other and went in from the northwest door.

The two walked for a long time, and Lin Tian stared around vigilantly, fearing that he would meet the patrol again, otherwise the plan would be destroyed again.

Xu Wenxuan explored the way in front of Lin Tian, and when he came to a rockery, he suddenly found a hidden tunnel.

He called Lin Tian in a low voice.

“Brother Lin, look, I found an underground passage in this rockery, let’s go in.”

The two of them looked at it and found that there was indeed a little clue hidden under the weeds.

Lin Tian quickly remembered that this rockery was where he hid yesterday, but he didn’t expect that there was actually a tunnel.

It was really incredible.

“I hid here yesterday, but I didn’t find the tunnel. It seems that it was the right choice to bring you with me.”

Xu Wenxuan just smiled. When he came to this rockery, he felt that it was different from ordinary rockery.

After observation, he found that there was a flower bed next to the rockery. The flower bed was a hidden switch.

As long as the flower bed was gently turned, the location of the mechanism would be known.

“Of course, this young master usually does not show off, but at least he has some skills and can still help at a critical moment.”

Xu Wenxuan was very pleased with Lin Tian’s praise.

Doesn’t this show that he is a very powerful person?

“Okay, let’s stop talking nonsense here, let’s go and see where this tunnel leads to.”

“Okay!”

Xu Wenxuan and Lin Tian successfully entered the tunnel. It was pitch black all around, and the environment was very bad.

Lin Tian lit the candle he brought with him, and it was much brighter.

Suddenly, Lin Tian, who was walking forward, was almost tripped by something.

He immediately stopped, squatted down, and shone the candle to the ground, and unexpectedly found a red treasure chest buried in the soil.

Xu Wenxuan saw it, squatted down together with Lin Tian and took the red treasure chest out of the soil.

“This red treasure chest looks valuable, and it’s locked. Do you think there will be any treasures in it?”

Xu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows. He was most interested in treasure hunting.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been a part-time bandit!

“But how do you open this lock? Do you have a way?”

Lin Tian frowned, thinking about how to open this lock.

If Mo Di was here, there would be no need to worry.

This is the only way to know if there is anything valuable in this treasure chest.

“Don’t worry, just look at me.”

Xu Wenxuan pried open the lock in two or three moves. The two opened the treasure chest and were stunned.

There were many letters in the treasure chest. They opened them one by one and found that they were all important evidence that could prove that the governor was corrupt, deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and committing fraud for personal gain.

The purpose of their coming today was to find these evidences.

It was really easy to get them, even God was helping them!

No wonder the governor would use a tunnel to bury these evidences. It would be terrible if they knew about it.

The two unanimously decided to take the things away.

But when they left, they alarmed the guards in the governor’s mansion, and they chased Lin Tian and Xu Wenxuan.

To be on the safe side, Lin Tian and Xu Wenxuan split up into two groups.

After a long struggle with the guards, they finally left the governor’s mansion safely.

When Lin Tian and Xu Wenxuan gathered at the agreed place, they looked very embarrassed.

It is estimated that they will not sneak into the governor’s mansion next time.
