Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1307: There may be a mole, but not necessarily

After Yu Jianling disappeared, the charter drawn up by Bai Mingwei and others was "from bottom to top, from top to bottom."

Start tracing back to the petty officials and find the end point of the flow of benefits.

Starting with Fan Zhizhou, we caught the mastermind behind the scenes.

They have made many plans. If they can find the stolen goods of those officials who are corrupt, and find out their network, and then find a way for them to cooperate with businessmen to make national wealth, they can collect conclusive evidence and bring them to justice.

Now that the hole in the Jin Mansion has been torn open, it seems that it will no longer be able to hide the situation behind it, and the network of connections will be revealed soon.

As for the stolen goods, if they are really hidden in idle warehouses everywhere, then the next thing will be much easier to handle.

After listening to Bai Yu's words, Bai Mingwei agreed:

"After the prince disappeared, we only used the pretense that the prince had discovered false accounts and suffered an accident, and severely punished the corrupt practices."

"After the Jin Mansion incident, the only things we announced to the public were the medicinal materials hoarded by the Jin Mansion and the Jin Mansion's intention to cause an epidemic to break out in Jiangbei, and it was never involved in liquidating the position."

"Now if we can seize the time difference and quickly check the warehouses in various places before the opponent reacts, we may be able to find the stolen goods that have been corrupted before."

Having said this, Bai Ming looked at Bai Yu slightly: "Seventh brother, the prince is seriously injured and it is not suitable to move. And the news that the prince is alive has been leaked, and the prince is afraid that he will be in danger."

And I don’t know what secret the prince touched, so he was brutally murdered.

Now if those people knew that the prince was still alive, they would definitely kill them all.

So the Crown Prince's situation is indeed dangerous.

Furthermore, it is not easy to take the prince back to Licheng before it is confirmed whether he has contracted the disease.

Otherwise, if an epidemic does break out in Li City, the prince will be the one to take the blame and be framed as the initiator.

Bai Yu immediately understood: "I understand. I will set off immediately to return to Licheng by escorting everyone in the Jin Mansion to Licheng for trial, and then quickly go to thoroughly investigate the warehouse."

Bai Ming said slightly: "Seventh brother, if the grains and medicinal materials that have been corrupted are piled in the court's warehouse, then it is not just because of safety."

"Once those things are discovered, they can be said to be prepared for the people. I think they have even prepared the account books. It will be detrimental to us to rashly investigate."

Bai Yu was silent, and then said: "I originally planned to use the excuse of cleaning up the warehouse to store the medicinal materials confiscated from the Jin Mansion to quickly conduct a thorough investigation of the warehouses in various places."

"Now that I hear what you say, I think it makes sense. Things are piled up in the court's warehouse. When they are not discovered, they belong to them. After they are discovered, they belong to the common people. There is nothing we can do against them."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "That's right."

Bai Yu asked: "So, what does Yi Mingwei mean?"

Bai Ming said slightly: "Mobilize the garrison directly and attack the unwinding and righteous warehouses in Licheng and nearby towns as quickly as possible."

"We all know that local governments cannot come up with so much food and medicinal materials for disaster relief. If we find quantities exceeding the estimate, we will directly seal them without giving any explanation for the time being."

"At this time, they will definitely implement countermeasures. For example, in a certain warehouse that was seized, there are indeed piles of food and medicinal materials used for disaster relief, and there are corresponding ledgers."

Bai Yu had already heard some signs: "Mingwei, who are you planning to use this against?"

Bai Ming smiled slightly: "Of course it's Fan Zhizhou. When they take action, Seventh Brother will take advantage of it and implicate everything you do on Fan Zhizhou's head." "People think that the reason why you suddenly went to check the warehouse is because There is something wrong with Fan Zhizhou, but again, I won’t explain too much.”

Bai Yu already understood: "What a good idea. When everyone thinks that we have made progress because of Fan Zhizhou, Fan Zhizhou has to prove his innocence. Then we can follow this line and lead him out." Associates and forces behind it.”

Bai Mingwei nodded: "What Qi Brother said is right. And I will cooperate with Qi Brother to make the illusion that the problem in Jin Mansion is related to Fan Zhizhou, making Fan Zhizhou darker and darker. "

His Highness Ninth Prince had previously praised Fan Zhizhou, making him more popular among the people.

Next, no matter what you do without explanation, the people will definitely think that it was with Fan Zhizhou's help that the embezzled grain and medicinal materials were found, and the people will be even more grateful to Fan Zhizhou.

With the participation of the people, Fan Zhizhou will become the center of attention without them building momentum. This is not what his associates and the mastermind behind the scenes want.

These people who gather for profit do not have much trust in themselves. In addition, the recent arrests of several people from Fan Zhizhou have pushed Fan Zhizhou to the forefront.

Then those people who were in the same group as Fan Zhizhou would naturally suspect that Fan Zhizhou cooperated with the court and revealed the hiding place of the stolen goods and his accomplices in order to protect himself.

As long as you successfully alienate your opponent, things will be much easier to handle when the time comes.

This is what Bai Mingwei and the person in charge of the secret guard said, killing two birds with one stone - digging out all the merchants who intend to cultivate the disease; leaving Fan Zhizhou with no way out.

After hearing Bai Mingwei's words, Bai Yu nodded solemnly:
"I understand. His Highness will handle the officials who were just taken to Licheng, and I will secretly focus on the warehouses in various places."

Bai Mingwei was particularly solemn: "I am here to protect the crown prince and secretly investigate the merchants involved with the Jin Mansion. The warehouse in question will be handed over to Seventh Brother."

Bai Yu said: "I know the importance of this. Don't worry, please protect the prince."

After saying that, he was leaving.

Yu Jianling warned him: "Xiao Qi, be careful in everything."

"Your Majesty, take care." Bai Yu glanced back at Yu Jianling and left without looking back.

After he left, Yu Jianling hesitated to speak. He seemed to have something important to say but didn't know how to speak.

Bai Mingwei noticed something strange in him: "Your Majesty, what do you want to say?"

Yu Jianling was silent for a moment, and then said: "General, I am not sure about this matter myself, so I don't know where to start."

Bai Mingwei asked: "Is it related to the plot against the Crown Prince and others?"

Yu Jianling nodded: "After we were stunned and kidnapped, the thieves took us to a cliff on the outskirts of the city and threw us down."

"But before I was thrown away, I sobered up because there was the hair of a little gray marten in the sachet."

"At that time, I thought that the problem must be in the buns we bought before going on official business, so we were knocked unconscious without knowing it."

"But now that I think about it carefully, maybe there is a mole among us, but not necessarily. People around us are hard to guard against."

"There were four officials who went with me at that time. If there is really a mole among them, he may still be alive now. He may be a variable in all our subsequent plans."
