Rebirth of the noble daughter

But what the Zhu family is best at is seeing tricks in the smallest details.

So over the years, a lot of criminal evidence of Cao Sidu's corruption has been collected. At the beginning, Ding Wang thought about cooperating with the Zhu family, first uncovering the fig leaf of the Cao family, and then moving other people.

Who knows that the Zhu family is a master who doesn't get in. Let alone the evidence, his buttocks are cleaned very cleanly, so he can't bite in.

So he simply attacked Cao Sidu directly, killed him, and planted the suspicion on the Zhu family's head, so that they could confuse themselves and at the same time expose their flaws in order to overcome them.

Unexpectedly, after Feng Jinxu learned that the Zhu family's son was going to get married in May, he searched all the banquets in Jinling City on May [-]th.

The Zhu family was married to Zhu Xiaoxian, the son of Zhu Hong, the governor of the water transportation department. With the official positions of the father and son, they could hold at most twelve tables, but the seats that had been pre-booked in the names of various people in Jinling City on the day of the wedding were enough. There are two hundred tables, and they are all reputable restaurants in Jinling City, and the tables are expensive.

After investigating the backgrounds of those people one by one, it was found that they were either from the Zhu family's wives, mothers, or relatives of their children and nephews.

In this way, the Zhu family's close and distant relatives have been clarified.

The current head of the Zhu family is Lord Zhu Hong, who is in the seventh rank, and is really inconspicuous in the officialdom.

However, his position is very special. Du Shilang is the No. 1 person who is responsible for transporting grain into the warehouse. How much grain from the common people is registered in the official warehouse and transported to the Eastern Capital? This is the first step. He has the final say!
Therefore, although the official position is small, it has real power in hand.

Over the years, with this position, he has also obtained a lot of benefits for the Zhu family, among which the people close to him have benefited the most.

Including the second brother Zhu Tu, wife brother Huo Chong, son Zhu Xiaoxian, and eldest son-in-law Quan Fu.

These few people are the core of the Zhu family, and most of the table reservations are based on the names of the four of them.

Feng Jinxu followed the clues, and after finding the four of them, he unexpectedly discovered a grain storage den hidden in a folk house. The grain accumulation was not much, about a few hundred shi.

But Feng Jinxu's intuition told him that this was just a drop in the bucket.

A small seventh-rank official can hoard so much official food for his own use, let alone go up through the layers.

Thinking of what my father said before, I can't help but feel a chill down my back.

Now that the grain that can safely enter the granary in the capital, I am afraid that one out of ten is good.

The water transportation department is really a moth of the country!
The common people of Dajin have suffered so much from them that they can't tell!
After Yang Zhao read the news, he also had the same thought as Xiao Tingyi, Feng Jinxu's ability is really great.

If it weren't for his young age and seniority, it might be a wise move to entrust the affairs of the Water Transportation Department to him.

"Tell Xu Lin that Liang Quanbin is going to take office in two days. He and the elder brother of the Feng family will bring the evidence back first. As for the matter of the Zhu family, let Cao's family get some information, so that they are not idiots now. If they don't want to be retaliated by the Zhu family, then the successor Liang Quanbin is their best backer, after all he is an in-law of the Wei family."

When a dog bites a dog, it's natural to have a mouthful of hair. If one side bites fiercely, maybe it will be able to grab more people out.

Xiao Tingyi wrote down a big red character, and then smiled lightly.

It seems that there are people behind this Zhu family.

The situation in Jinling City became more and more confusing.

In Feng's Ning'an Hospital, Feng Jinyao received a message from Bai's family, saying that Bai Siruo's injuries had recurred, and asked her to rush to the Bai's mansion.

Feng Jinyao was worried about her cousin, so she hurried over there.

Unexpectedly, he didn't know until he entered the White Mansion, it was just a cover-up used by Prime Minister Bai, the purpose was to get her to come and discuss matters.

In the study, Bai Xiang, the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle are all there.

The faces of the three were not very good-looking, Feng Jinyao felt strange, could it be that someone in the court was targeting the Bai family again?
But he never thought that it was Xu Lin who sent the news.

Since Feng Jinyao solved the difficulties of the Bai family with a letter, and then found Qiao Shanjian for the Bai family, Bai Xiang and the two uncles treated her differently, and they would talk to her about many important things in the family. Say it, listen to what she thinks.

Now that Feng Jinxu is in Jinling, Feng Jinlin is in Yunqi Academy, and Feng Hai is recuperating in the "couch", naturally she is the only one who can take care of things.

"Boss, show Ayao the news."

While Bai Xiang was speaking, Bai Dalang handed over the news, which recorded everything about Feng Jinxu in Jinling City in detail.

The more he looked at his face, the more dignified he was, "If it's as big brother found out, how much corruption has been committed by the Water Transport Department from top to bottom! This is not a moth that can be raised in a year or two. It is so bold that no one can discover it. Two zhe thirteen None of the people in the company are innocent!"

Bai Xiang's eyes showed admiration, A Yao is really amazing.

Just from the words between the lines, he can roughly calculate that he is more powerful than the two sons in front of him.

"Ayao, if the matter of purging is left to you, how will you do it?"

Bai Xiang's words were intended to test her.

Feng Jinyao fell into a moment of silence.

Thinking back to her last life, before her death, the Water Transportation Department just arrested a few officials who were not big or small to investigate and deal with it. There was a deterrent, but it was not enough to eradicate the roots. It is estimated that the limelight will pass in a few years. , the situation of corruption will reappear.

After thinking for a while, he said slowly.

"The granddaughter thinks that blocking is worse than sparse. Since the corruption cannot be curbed, we simply change the method. Every year, the palace will set a fixed amount of grain payment based on the harvest of the year, and the remaining grain can be disposed of by the people themselves, or hoarded or bought. Not to interfere, this is one. The Department of Water Transport has streamlined the officials, and only needs to set up the necessary people and the most convenient channels for food delivery. Over the years, too many checkpoints have been set up. Not to mention the large number of officials, the process of food delivery is also complicated. Naturally, it is easy to be taken advantage of by others, this is the second. The most important point may be troublesome to implement, but it may be done once and for all!"

"Oh? In what way?"

Bai relatively appreciated the first two points she raised. Hearing the words "can be done once and for all", even the two uncles next to her became curious and looked at her one after another.

"Transfer the conflict between the government and the people to the merchants and the people. Jinling City is originally controlled by merchants and gentry. The deterrent power of the four major families in the city is far greater than that of officials. Leave it to them to do it. Similarly, the quota is fixed, and they can trade with the common people for the excess. Prepare umbrellas on sunny days and carry dry food with you. It will also be kept in case of emergencies, and it will save the money of renting the granary from the imperial court. What does my grandfather think?"
