About This Novel
The spring rain continued. Under the tea shed next to the official road, a few people were drinking big bowls of hot tea, nibbling cold noodle cakes, and listening to the talk of the tea shed owner with great interest. "... We in Qixia have a lot of gold mines. Even if we pass it off as good and report more waste mines to the superiors, it is not difficult to conceal a mine pit. Today, Emperor Gao is far away, and we have been hiding it for more than a year. The gold we have greedily obtained must be tens of thousands of taels at least? If the gold nuggets dug out this time were not so amazing, I might have been able to hide it." Li Ji sat in a corner of the tea shed, listening to people gossiping. Ten days ago, he was appointed as the magistrate of Qixia County. When he was about to take office, he learned that a major gold case had been committed in Qixia: the county magistrate had embezzled gold for more than a year. When the superiors wanted to investigate, he committed suicide out of fear of guilt. However, less than 30% of the embezzled gold was recovered.
