Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1294: You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die!
After discussing everything, Liu Yao and Bai Mingwei went to the meeting hall and asked Meng Ziang to collect information from the guards.

As soon as the two arrived, they saw on several desks that all official documents related to the progress of disaster relief had been laid out in categories, waiting for their review.

"Meet His Highness Ninth Prince."

Fan Zhizhou and his officials kowtowed one after another.

Liu Yao did not respond. As soon as he sat down, he threw a list in front of Fan Zhizhou:

"I give you five days to arrest all the officials involved above and bring them to Licheng for trial!"

Fan Zhizhou picked up the list and took a look at it, an unknown light flashed in his eyes.

But he respectfully accepted the order: "I obey the order! Within five days, I will definitely fulfill His Highness's great trust."

After saying that, he bowed and retreated.

Liu Yao stopped talking, took the official document from Bai Mingwei, and read it carefully.

He looked at it extremely seriously and did not show any perfunctory behavior.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word.

After reading these documents, he stood up and walked out, leaving the Licheng officials looking at each other in confusion.

Someone asked Bai Mingwei in a low voice: "General, His Highness seems to be very angry. Do you know what is going on?"

Bai Ming shook his head slightly: "I don't know."

After saying that, Bai Mingwei followed Liu Yao and left.

A group of officials were left behind, not knowing why.

After walking a certain distance, when no one was around, Liu Yao asked Bai Mingwei: "Has the general seen Fan Zhizhou's reaction just now?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "I saw it. Just looking at his reaction, there was nothing unusual. It's just that he carried out His Highness's orders without hesitation without asking the reason. It didn't look like he was worried about being implicated by those officials."

Liu Yao folded his hands and stared at the golden ginkgo tree in front of him.

A few leaves fell, and he reached out to catch one, holding it in his hand and looking at it: "Those officials have high-level positions, and some of them include his people."

"If this doesn't cause him to panic, it means that what he did is quite covert, and the arrest of these people will not have any impact on him at all."

Yes.

The people on the list are all targets they have carefully selected from among the corrupt officials they have controlled.

Their preparation to punish the corrupt people in a big way was not just a strategy to capture Fan Zhizhou, the king of thieves.

They really want to solve the corruption problem in Jiangbei and bring corrupt officials to justice.

Therefore, the chosen person can pull out the carrot and bring out the mud whenever he is caught.

Because among them were Fan Zhizhou's confidants, I expected Fan Zhizhou to be uneasy.

However, from the current point of view, it is really hard to tell.

If he hadn't been in the officialdom for a long time and learned to hide his emotions and anger, it would be that things were done neatly and no evidence was left, so he was confident and didn't worry about being implicated at all.

Such a conclusion made Liu Yao look quite solemn.

Regarding this, Bai Mingwei's attitude remained calm: "Your Highness, please be patient and watch the changes."

Hearing this, Liu Yao let go of the leaves in his hands: "The general is right, but I am impatient."

"Let's see how Fan Zhizhou's arrest mission is completed, and we can judge his situation and attitude from this aspect, and thus find an entry point."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "That's the plan for now. Let's see what he does to the people on the list first."

"Whether he kills or silences the people on the list, or handles it in accordance with the law, every one of his actions has different meanings, and we can all act accordingly."

The two were talking.

Meng Ziang came over.

Liu Yao asked urgently: "Is there any news?"

Meng Ziang lowered his voice: "I have summarized all the information and come up with Prince Yu's recent route." "Prince Yu disappeared in an alley. That was the only way for him and several officials to check the accounts. All around the lane are the sphere of influence of the Zhizhou Prefecture."

"The fact that Prince Yu and others are in and out is probably related to the clerk who manages the account books. Perhaps Prince Yu had just left, and was plotted against him."

Liu Yao came to the conclusion: "In this case, we can start from this small official to find traces of Prince Yu."

Meng Ziang frowned: "Having said that..."

Bai Mingwei took over the words: "Even so, I'm afraid it's difficult."

Liu Yao looked over.

Bai Mingwei explained: "Even the eldest son of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and the court official dared to take action. This shows that the murderer is either a fool or has interests worthy of his risk."

"But it is obvious that he was driven by the interests that made him commit such a heinous crime. Such a person is very determined to seek profit, and it may not be possible to pry his mouth open."

"Furthermore, once this matter is exposed, he will suffer the disaster of extermination, and it will be impossible to reveal any information to us."

Meng Ziang said: "As the general said, if this person is really responsible, then he must be deeply trusted by Fan Zhizhou and it will be extremely difficult to instigate rebellion."

"What's more, it's not easy to do such a thing. There must be a sophisticated plan. Maybe it started from the moment he deliberately exposed the flaws in the account book. It's hard to crack a carefully planned game."

The fist under Liu Yao's sleeve slowly clenched again: "If you want to see someone alive, if you want to see a corpse if you die, I will not give up!"

Bai Mingwei looked at Liu Yao, and it could be seen that Liu Yao's teeth were clenched tightly.

You can see the sadness in his heart.

To him, Yu Jianling was not only one of the accompanying officials this time, but also his closest playmate since childhood.

When something happened to Yu Jianling, he was heartbroken.

However, he did not get confused and put the cart before the horse because of this. Instead, he suppressed his emotions and continued to shoulder his responsibilities.

This is rare and very painful.

Bai Mingwei understood this, but there was nothing she could do at this moment.

In public relations, Prince Yu was not only a colleague, but also her companion; in private affairs, Prince Yu was the brother of the seventh sister-in-law.

No matter from which aspect, she also deplored what happened to Yu Jianling, but she hid it deeper than anyone else.

At this time, Liu Yao spoke again: "Speaking of which, those official documents just now were really done perfectly, but I saw an opportunity in them."

Speaking of this, Liu Yao's expression changed and became particularly solemn:
"Since he has handled things in the Licheng area so perfectly and thoughtfully, the entire Jiangbei area should do the same."

"It makes no sense that Shangfeng has done so well, but the counties under his jurisdiction are in a mess. I will send his standards of conduct to the counties under his jurisdiction in the form of a formal document."

"It is important that all counties in Jiangbei implement disaster relief strategies in accordance with this standard. Only in this way can he demonstrate his political achievements and talents at the top."

Bai Ming slightly understood: "Is Your Highness planning to use this to arouse dissatisfaction among counties against Fan Zhizhou?"

Liu Yao raised his lips: "The situation in each county is different. Fan Zhizhou relied on his unique resources to manage his own Licheng in a stylish way."

"If he does it alone, he may win praise. However, the counties are already under a lot of pressure. If he requires all the counties under his jurisdiction to do this, he will definitely be dissatisfied."

"I want to praise him, then kill him, make him a role model, let him be criticized, and finally leave him alone."

Meng Ziang agreed very much: "In this way, the pressure on the counties has increased sharply, which has touched the interests of each county. If there is a conflict of interest, the counties will naturally turn against him."

Bai Mingwei did not express his position.

This can be considered a method.

However, treating the symptoms does not address the root cause.

Then Fan Zhizhou must react quickly and respond.

However, since there was no harm done, there was no need for her to stop it.

At this moment, Bai Yu came.
