Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1335: My original intention is that I don’t want to be a waste...

Bai Yu took over: "However, Fan Ruixian's thinking and heart are not ordinary people after being suppressed for a long time. If you want to get clues from her, you have to know what she wants."

Liu Yao touched his chin: "The king has heard about her. After all, what she wants is nothing more than 'revenge'. I believe that as long as we give her what she wants, she can also give us what we want."

Bai Mingwei pondered for a moment, and then said very seriously: "Cooperating with Fan Ruixian is not without any risks."

"Although she helped us a lot with the Fu'an Salesian Bureau, we need to be extra careful when cooperating with her without ensuring that she is not being used by anyone."

"We don't rule out the possibility of someone using her to use our hands to cut out unnecessary details. We can't be the knife others use to kill people."

Bai Yu agreed very much: "What Mingwei said is absolutely true. After all, this network is too big, so it is not stable, and the benefits will be relatively reduced."

"We have dug out the cancer in Jiangbei with great fanfare. In other words, this is not an opportunity for some people to eliminate dissidents. They can completely use our hands to remove those dispensable parts."

Liu Yao listened to the concerns of the two people.

His hand suddenly closed the account book: "Then, we will divide the work and cooperate and perform our duties."

"Master Bai led the garrison to arrest the people. The general will continue to trace the merchants' cultivation of the disease. The matter of cooperation with Fan Ruixian will also be left to you to handle."

"Our goal is to eliminate the corrupt officials centered on Fan Zhongqian and deal with the businessmen who colluded with the government. We don't have much time, so I ask you two to complete the task as soon as possible."

Bai Mingwei and Bai Yu cupped their hands at the same time: "I obey!"

After finalizing the charter, Liu Yao asked: "Except the Fu'an Salesian Bureau, can the General arrange for people to check the other Salesian Bureaus?"

Bai Mingwei said: "I have ordered people to conduct a thorough investigation of all Salesian bureaus in Jiangbei, as well as places similar to Salesian bureaus."

"However, I believe that there will be no additional gains. If there are multiple places like the Fu'an Salesian Bureau in Jiangbei, it would be impossible to hide them for so many years without any flaws being revealed."

Liu Yao asked again: "So you think the Fu'an Salesian Bureau is the only place used by Fan Zhizhou to weave a web of interests?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Your Highness, that's right. We may find multiple secret prostitution dens, but basically none of them will be directly related to Fan Zhongqian."

Liu Yao made a quick decision: "Continue to investigate. Places like Fu'an Salesian Bureau that are inhumane must be solved one by one."

Bai Mingwei accepted the order: "Yes, Your Highness."

Liu Yao continued: "As for the murder of refugees and their abduction, I will issue documents to curb it as soon as possible. Now our focus is on solving the Jiangbei corruption case. Without further delay, you two should act as soon as possible."

Bai Mingwei and Bai Yu responded respectfully.

After the two left, Liu Yao could no longer restrain his suppressed anger. He suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it against the pillar.

Fortunately, the confidant who came in had quick eyes and quick hands and avoided the tea cup, so he was not accidentally injured.

The confidant walked up and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Yao put his hands on the table, his head always lowered, and his voice was full of frustration: "A-Tuo, I am tired."

The confidant quickly changed the tea cup, poured him a cup of tea, and then stood aside silently, ready to listen at any time.

Liu Yao picked up the tea cup and sat on the chair as if exhausted.

He took a sip of tea numbly and slowly, and then spoke feebly: "I once felt that as long as I worked hard enough, I could always turn things around, turn the tide, and make this dilapidated world a better place. "

"After all, it is just my delusion. The filth and filth I have seen is not even one-tenth of reality, but it has already made me so frustrated. I can really mend this broken world. Okay?"

The confidant slowly knelt down: "Your Highness, I cannot answer your question, but I believe that the answer already exists."

"When the Northern Yan invaded the south, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty held back. The men of the Baifu abandoned their writing and joined the army. They marched forward bravely and bought time with their lives for Dongling to turn defeat into victory."

"Old Prime Minister Bai ended miserably, but he persisted for decades. Perhaps the world has not changed for the better because of Old Prime Minister Bai, but everything he did laid the foundation for future generations."

"And Lao Xiang's will has truly affected many people. Although the world is full of mud, there are also flowers that bloom beautifully."

"Your Highness, it is natural for people to feel frustrated, but I still want to ask, why does Your Highness persist until today?"

Liu Yao was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Initially, it was just to prove to her that I am not a waste."

As he spoke, Liu Yao's eyes slowly became firm: "Later, I didn't want to be a waste."

The confidant knelt down and said, "It seems that the confusion in His Highness's heart is gone." Liu Yao didn't say much, but for a short moment, his eyes were clear and firm.

The emotions he felt just now had been contained deep in his heart.

He changed the topic: "Prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I have several official documents to convey."

The henchman will be grinding it soon.

Liu Yao wrote dozens of documents seriously and handed them to his confidants:

"Tell people to convey it to all counties as quickly as possible. If there are mysterious deaths or disappearances of refugees in the places where refugees are resettled, I will only ask them, and I will not be lenient!"

The confidant took the official document: "Yes, Master."

After handling these matters, Liu Yao came to the dungeon.

Zhang Jingkun raised his hands and saluted: "See you, Your Highness."

Liu Yao waved his hand: "Master Zhang, there is no need to be polite. I wonder if Master Zhang can gain anything from being here with Fan Zhongqian?"

Zhang Jingkun shook his head: "Fan Zhizhou has a very tough mouth. After Fan Ruixian came here, he never said a word again. After being tortured one after another, he refused to let go."

Liu Yao raised his lips: "I didn't expect that there are still people in this world that Mr. Zhang can do nothing about."

Zhang Jingkun glanced at Liu Yao meaningfully: "Your Highness, are you saying this as a compliment or as a sarcasm?"

Liu Yao smiled: "Of course I agree. If I didn't trust Master Zhang's ability, I wouldn't have trusted Master Zhang to try them. Aren't the seven guilty ministers who have confessed and committed crimes the best proof of Master Zhang's ability? ?”

Zhang Jingkun seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "His Highness is really candid. Is this an admission that His Highness deliberately set up a minor minister?"

Liu Yao's smile did not change: "If I hadn't made a little plan that fell into Lord Zhang's hands, Lord Zhang wouldn't have fallen into the trap, right?"

The smile on Zhang Jingkun's face gradually disappeared, and he was extremely serious: "Since His Highness is pure and wise, you should know that if there is still no evidence against Fan Zhizhou, then I can only end the trial in accordance with the law and clear Fan Zhizhou's innocence."

"At that time, except for the seven officials who are responsible for the crime, the rest of the people who are suspected because of their involvement with Fan Zhizhou will gradually be cleared of suspicion. His Highness will probably be held responsible for such a big mistake."

Liu Yao was well aware of these consequences.

Not only does he need to take responsibility, but if someone adds insult to injury and takes the opportunity to accuse him of incompetence, he will suffer the consequences.

However, despite knowing that the result might be like this, Liu Yao did not panic or worry.

He smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for reminding me. I feel deeply in my heart."

Zhang Jingkun glanced at Liu Yao with his experienced eyes, and then said intentionally or unintentionally: "It seems that His Highness is sure of victory, so he is so calm."

When Liu Yao heard this, he neither confirmed nor denied it.

He understands the principle of speaking with caution.

Zhang Jingkun glanced at Liu Yao thoughtfully and did not make any statement.

Recalling what Taifu Song said before leaving, combined with what he saw and heard along the way after entering Jiangbei, he couldn't help but re-examine Liu Yao.

If Taifu Song had not vowed that His Highness the Ninth Prince would become a great weapon in the future, he would not have risked beheading and delayed the announcement of the decree.

I hope he didn't bet wrong this time. Once he discovers that His Highness Ninth Prince is unlikely to become a great person, he will still be the most loyal minister today.

Thinking about this, an unknown light flashed across his eyes.

At this moment, Liu Yao met his eyes.

Liu Yao still looked calm and composed: "Master Zhang, I can defeat Fan Zhongqian within two days, do you believe it?"

Zhang Jingkun was startled, feeling like he had been seen through.

But soon, he returned to normal: "Since His Highness said so, I will wait and see."
