The emperor declared me again

Chapter 60 Finding the Ledger
Mo Liyuan's exclamation caught the attention of the hidden guards, and they both asked in unison, "Master, what's wrong?"

"Look here, there is no dust at all, which means that someone has touched this place."

The secret guard followed Mo Liyuan's fingers and looked over. Sure enough, the drawer under the desk was clean without any dust, as if someone came to clean it every day.

"It seems that the shopkeeper comes to check every once in a while."

The dark guard came to this conclusion after careful study.

"After all, it is a matter of life, so it must be taken very seriously. I will check every once in a while to see if the things are still there. That's why this place is so clean and tidy."

Mo Liyuan squatted down, opened the drawer, and found that there were books like books and a letter inside.

Mo Liyuan looked at the letter a little hesitantly, this letter should be written by the shopkeeper to his family without any accident.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't open the family letter privately, but I'm afraid there are some causes and consequences explained in it, so you can't ignore it.

After struggling for a long time, Mo Liyuan finally opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and looked at it at a glance.

Soon, Mo Liyuan finished reading the thick letter.

"Master, what did you say in the letter?" The dark guard asked out of curiosity.

"It's a letter from the family. The main reason is that something happened to the shopkeeper after reading this letter. In the drawer are the account books of the past few years. He secretly copied a copy for emergencies. At the same time, he also hid some at home. Gold, silver and jewels, after he let his family see the letter, he took the gold, silver, jewels and account books and went away and never came back.”

Mo Liyuan paused, and continued: "He also said that he was sorry for his family, and hoped that his family could live a good life with what he left behind."

"Going far away? Isn't he afraid that the government will detain his family?" The secret guard was a little puzzled.

"He also mentioned this issue in the letter. If the government forcibly detains it, the ledger will be used as a bargaining chip for negotiation. The letter also explained in detail how to negotiate."

The content of the letter was not very rewarding to Mo Liyuan, but he still frowned slightly.

He didn't know whether he should give the letter to the shopkeeper's family. This letter should have been given to them, but the government was staring at them. If he went rashly, it might bring them disaster.

Forget it, let's wait until the matter is over before handing over the letter to them.

Mo Liyuan then took out the account books. There were three in total. It seemed that he had been doing this business for many years, and he didn't know how much black-hearted money he had made.

Mo Liyuan casually took a ledger and flipped through it, and saw that the amount in it was quite considerable, so he had some doubts about the amount in it.

Although many rich people came to Changbai Mountain, they were only a minority. Most of them came from other places to collect medicines and hope to make a fortune by guessing the precious medicinal materials. It is impossible to have as much money as recorded in the ledger.

To put it bluntly, even if those people were sold, they would not be able to make up the amount inside.

Could it be that it's not just about robbing guests?
There may be other things, but he didn't encounter them?

Mo Liyuan frowned, the matter became more and more complicated and difficult.

Forget it, don't think about it.

Mo Liyuan put down the account book in his hand, and put the account book and letter back intact, creating the illusion that no one came.

The three of them left the room, went to the cave outside, pressed the switch, and the passage closed automatically.

"It's not safe to keep the ledger on me. Instead, it's the safest place. It's a good location. You two will recuperate here first, and keep the ledger by the way."
