Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1314. That concubine is a bit strange.

"Someone is coming."

Bai Ming called slightly.

The secret guard pushed open the door and knelt in front of Bai Mingwei: "Master."

Bai Mingwei asked: "Does Fan Zhizhou have a daughter who is married to a businessman?"

The secret guard nodded: "Master, that's right. But she is just a concubine, so she was abandoned to marry a lowly businessman who is looked down upon by officials."

"After the flood in Jiangbei, no one in her husband's family survived. Only she and a few loyal servants escaped and returned to her natal family in Licheng."

"Master, why do you suddenly ask about this person, but what is her connection with what we are currently investigating?"

Bai Ming said slightly: "Just now I took a closer look at the relationship between Jiangbei officials and merchants, and found that although they are intertwined and inextricably linked, the fact that Fan Zhizhou's daughter married the son of an ordinary merchant family is the most important thing. It makes me feel strange.”

"Fan Zhizhou only wanted money to marry merchants. However, even if she is a concubine, she would not marry such an ordinary merchant."

Those threads representing the interests and relationships are as intricate as a spider web, making it dizzying to look at.

"If Fan Zhizhou is the key to breaking the situation among the officials, then Yao Dewang is the key to breaking the situation for the merchant forces. As long as Yao Dewang is captured, the entire conspiracy of the merchant forces will be defeated."

"You see, this intricate relationship seems messy, but these relationships are like a maze, and the final exit is Yao Dewang."

"If Fan Zhizhou is willing, a wealthy businessman like Yao Dewang will also be willing to become his son and daughter. Or, in other words, marry his daughter directly."

The secret guard immediately understood: "Master, my subordinates will go investigate immediately."

Bai Mingwei shook his head: "No need, I will personally investigate this concubine from Fan Zhizhou, and you should focus your energy on Yao Dewang."

With that said, Bai Mingwei picked up the paper and unfolded it under the lamp.

The secret guard took the order: "Yes, Master."

……

After the secret guard left, Bai Mingwei came to the room where Yu Jianling was resting. At this time, Yu Jianling had received relatively proper treatment, and his broken leg was fixed with a splint.

Although he was lying in a weak posture, he no longer had the aura of dying and dying.

"General."

Seeing Bai Mingwei, he shouted, then held up his arms and tried to sit up.

Bai Mingwei smoothly made a quilt for him, allowing him to lean on the quilt to support his body: "Your Majesty, your body is still very weak, don't show off."

Yu Jianling leaned on the quilt and raised his eyes to glance at Bai Mingwei: "The general came to see me so late, but what do you want to say?"

Bai Mingwei nodded slightly: "I just received a letter from His Highness. There is indeed a problem with the imperial court's warehouses. In just a few warehouses in Licheng and nearby, a large amount of food, medicinal materials and other materials of unknown origin were found."

"Your Majesty, it's thanks to you that this time, otherwise these stolen goods will only become commodities for some people's profit, and will never see the light of day again."

"Your Highness and Brother Seven are currently handling this matter intensively, and the officials involved have been arrested one after another."

"His Highness has said that no matter how extensive this matter is, he has great determination to eliminate these cancers growing in the land of Jiangbei."

When Yu Jianling heard this, he looked slightly pleased.

He looked at his broken leg and said, "If it can really help, this leg and the experience of narrow escape will be worth it."

Bai Mingwei said: "According to His Highness's instructions, as soon as we find out the merchants involved, we can interrogate the officials and end this corruption case in Jiangbei."

"At the same time, His Highness also said that because the involvement is too wide, the result may not be satisfactory, but we will never let go of anyone who can be brought to justice with the evidence we have."

Yu Jianling was silent for a moment, and then spoke:
"With just one corruption case, how can we clean up the long-standing corruption in Dongling's officialdom and catch all corrupt officials at once? Getting rid of the cancer in Jiangbei is already the best outcome."

Bai Mingwei did not express his position.

She changed the subject without leaving a trace: "I came to see the Crown Prince this time. In addition to informing the Crown Prince about the latest progress to avoid worrying about the Crown Prince's illness, I also want to ask the Crown Prince, how did you find something strange in the warehouse?"
