Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1311 A glimmer of light comes

Liu Yao withdrew his gaze and looked at the general in front of him.

"What discovery was made? Tell me slowly."

The general responded respectfully: "Master Bai found a large amount of grain and medicinal materials in the liquidation and charity warehouses in Licheng. However, these things were not recorded in any of the account books that His Highness has seen."

"Lord Bai has reason to suspect that these grains and medicinal materials were part of the food that was originally used to provide relief to the victims but disappeared."

"Master Bai said that since there are problems with the liquidation and free warehouses in Licheng, then there may also be problems with the warehouses in other places. He has quickly mobilized garrison troops from various places to conduct a thorough investigation."

As soon as he said this, a smile slowly appeared on Liu Yao's face.

As for Fan Zhizhou, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

But the next moment, he heard Liu Yao's cold voice: "Come here, arrest Fan Zhizhou and put him in prison to await trial!"

As if they were already prepared, a dozen people immediately rushed out from the left and right and pushed Fan Zhizhou to the ground.

His hat was off and his bun was unraveled.

After a pause, Liu Yao continued: "There are a few things I want you to do."

If it cannot be restrained by morality, then the bottom line "law" of morality should be applied.

The sound became farther and farther away. From the beginning to the end, Liu Yao didn't even look at it. He told the young general: "You must do your best to assist Mr. Bai in doing things. Go down."

He knew that although there was already a reason to capture Fan Zhizhou.

"First of all, Fan Zhizhou must be cut off from all contact with the outside world. No visits are allowed while he is in custody, and he must be watched closely!"

"Finally, immediately arrest all the officials responsible for the warehouses involved and put them in jail to await their punishment. Watch carefully, but don't let them die."

Liu Yao's confidant walked up to him: "Congratulations, Your Highness, it seems that great progress has been made in the corruption matter."

The young general retreated quietly.

Liu Yao didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and Fan Zhizhou was taken away.

The world where people live together should be bound by rules, laws, and even morality.

Any official who has done anything wrong must be convicted in accordance with the law and procedures.

But since ancient times, purging officials has never been a simple matter of killing.

"By the way, the clerk who managed the account books that Prince Yu met before he was assassinated was carefully detained and kept under strict supervision."

The governor of Yizhou just now lost all dignity at this moment and was dragged away without mercy.

He kept shouting: "Your Highness has a clear view, Your Highness has a clear view, I don't know, I don't know..."

My confidants responded respectfully.

Liu Yao looked solemn: "It's too early to say anything now. Don't get carried away and neglect to monitor suspicious people just because of a small discovery."

Fan Zhizhou shouted that he was wronged: "Your Highness clearly knows that I don't know anything about this matter. There must be something hidden in it!"

"Secondly, don't touch Fan Zhizhou's subordinate officials for the time being. Be sure to monitor all their movements. If anyone behaves strangely, don't alert them first. Find out what they want to do, and then report it to me."

Liu Yao's hand behind his back slowly clenched.

Even the superiors who hold the power of life and death are no exception.

Therefore, for Fan Zhizhou and a group of corrupt officials, the problem is not as simple as cutting them off.

However, there is still a long way to go before we can collect conclusive evidence, and things will not end so easily.

Don't let your guard down until the last moment.

What's more, Fan Zhizhou is not the biggest cancer at all.

It's just Jiangbei, and I don't know how many people can be brought out.

The next step is the most important. Every step must be taken step by step and carefully considered to avoid failure.

Thinking of this, Liu Yao loosened his clenched hands.

"Calling all the officials together, I have important matters to discuss with you."

……

Not long ago, Bai Yu led his troops and rushed back to Licheng with relevant people from the Jin Mansion.

Halfway through, he ordered his trustworthy people to continue moving forward, while he secretly mobilized the garrison and headed for the imperial warehouse under the jurisdiction of Licheng. Before the action, the scout responsible for exploring the route and checking the news came to report: "Sir, the news is probably wrong."

Bai Yu asked: "Why do you say this?"

The scout respectfully expressed his doubts: "The people guarding the warehouses are no different from before. There is nothing strange about these warehouses at all."

"If there are really shady things in the warehouse, why the guards are not strict at all. This is contrary to common sense."

When Bai Yu heard this, he was even more certain of his suspicions.

He raised his lips and smiled: "You are a strictly trained scout. Even you think there is nothing strange in the warehouse. So what will ordinary people think?"

The scout didn't know how to answer: "This..."

Bai Yu looked full of confidence: "This is the opponent's clever method. Who in the right mind would suspect that there is nothing unusual? If more people are sent to guard it closely, it will be more obvious."

Having said this, Bai Yu immediately ordered: "There must be what we are looking for inside. Listen to my order and immediately surround this place, control everyone, and open all warehouses for inspection!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of elite soldiers took action immediately.

As Bai Yu expected, twelve of the twenty warehouses were full.

Two of them contained the grain, medicinal materials and other materials recorded in the account books, while the other ten were full but not included in the records.

There are as many as ten!

There are at least tens of thousands of stones of food, as well as a huge amount of medicinal materials.

But the people guarding the warehouse were all dumbfounded when faced with this full warehouse.

"What's going on? Isn't this warehouse empty? Why are there so many things in it?!"

"Yeah, what's going on?"

"I don't know either! Isn't it empty?"

"When will it be full?"

"What's going on?!"

"..."

What they say is so true that it doesn't look like they are lying.

It was as if they really didn't know why the warehouse, which was originally empty, was now full.

Bai Yu walked into one of the warehouses, and everywhere he could see were neatly stacked bags.

Some of the bags were not only stained with mud that may have been picked up during transportation, but some were even stained with blood.

Bai Yu punched the bag and said in a deep tone: "Pass this order to me, and the troops stationed in various places will immediately raid the warehouses and free warehouses! Every warehouse must be thoroughly inspected by me!"

The confidants immediately took orders to do it.

Bai Yu quickly adjusted his mood. He walked up to the shocked guards. After looking around, he asked, "So, you don't know when the things in this warehouse were piled in." ?”

The guards said one after another: "We have no idea! How could this place be full? We don't know either!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and then said: "I don't care whether what you say is true or false, but you must hand over your shift schedule to me. If you cheat, you will be killed without mercy!"

The guard didn't dare to delay, so he rushed to get it done.

Chang Sui Jinsong asked Bai Yu: "Sir, do you want to find out how things are transported in through the shift schedule?"

Bai Yu nodded: "Exactly, the actions of officials cannot be so quiet and leave no traces. Even the people guarding the granary are difficult to detect. So there must be forces colluding together."

"Those who can achieve this level are usually merchants who have mastery of various transportation channels. If you know how and when these stolen goods were piled up here without anyone noticing, you can follow the clues and find the connections with corrupt officials. People who collude with corrupt officials!”

Corrupt officials and businessmen involved.

At this point, the truth finally slowly surfaced.

All the previously seemingly unrelated clues are gradually connected.

This government/business collusion and the conspiracy between the common people finally has a glimmer of hope that it will be solved.

Jinsong immediately said: "What you said makes sense."

Bai Yu's eyes were as cold as ice: "I want to see who is helping these corrupt officials!"
