The government said that Shen Asi died on the riverwork six years ago.
Six years later, a tax reminder was posted on his wife's door: seven dou of autumn grain, two dou of miscellaneous expenses, and three taels of silver, and the payment was due within ten days.
Housekeeper Zhou Yun deducted the tax stamp for her and only came for three days. He followed the old registers and found abnormalities in seventeen households: people who died, fled or disappeared, some were re-written back into the yellow register and continued to pay taxes and serve.
Three years ago, Zhou Yun's sister Lu Qing was also listed as a "tax creditor" due to tax arrears and disappeared since then.
A few years later, the Jiazi trial was approaching.
The court only asked whether the account was fair, not who was under the account.
