Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1340: Closing the net, the time has come!
After parting with Fan Ruixian, Bai Mingwei returned to the house.

Ah Liu's figure appeared in front of her: "Girl, as you expected, someone has taken action against the Salesian Bureau. They hired a killer to kill the lady and silence her."

"Based on this clue, our people followed the clues and found the merchant who hired the murderer. My subordinates have informed Mr. Bai to lead the garrison to arrest him."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Very good. But these are all small snakes, and they are not painful to the entire profit network. Has the background of the merchant named Yao been found out?"

Ah Liu quickly apologized: "My subordinate is incompetent. I haven't received any useful information yet. I only know that he participated in driving up the prices of grain and medicinal materials, and also hoarded huge amounts of grain and medicinal materials."

"But this can only prove that he used unfair means to do business, but it cannot prove that he colluded with court officials to make profits."

Bai Ming folded his hands slightly and leaned back on his chair: "In the years that Fan Zhongqian has been in office, all the high-ranking businessmen in Jiangbei have been corrupted and participated in corruption."

"As one of the best businessmen, Yao Dewang cannot find out the problem. This is the biggest problem. He must be up to something."

"The situation is a bit tricky. If we continue to attack the merchants and eliminate profiteers one after another, it will be equivalent to helping him eliminate competitors in disguise. He will win."

Ah Liu suggested: "Master, since this is the case, why not kill him directly..."

As he spoke, Ah Liu made a motion of slitting his throat.

Bai Ming shook his head slightly: "It's easy to kill him, but if we abuse the power of life and death, then where are the laws and justice?"

"We are born in a country of etiquette and are bound by moral principles such as propriety, justice, integrity and shame; when our behavior crosses the moral bottom line, national law comes into play."

"Morals and national laws should bind everyone equally, so that the world can function normally."

"We now have no evidence. It was really quick to kill Yao Dewang just because we suspected him."

"But the world is not blind. If we do such a thing, how will we deal with it in the future? I do not reject dark methods, but when it is time to be aboveboard, we must be upright."

"This Jiangbei corruption case and Jiangbei's administrative abuses must be eliminated according to legal and reasonable procedures. In this way, the guilty will have no chance of redemption, and the bystanders can be convinced!"

Ah Liu was silent for a while, and then said: "What the girl said is actually considering the problem from the perspective of the Ninth Prince."

Bai Ming raised his lips slightly: "Isn't the reason why Western Chu is prosperous and the first of the four kingdoms also because Chongyuan governs the country according to law?"

"Everyone knows that he is tyrannical, but within just a few years of his taking power, Xichu has undergone earth-shaking changes. He is a good role model."

As he spoke, Bai Ming slightly raised the corners of his lips:

"I understand that the person I support should be a person who holds great power but abides by the rules of the world."

"Otherwise, once he tastes the sweetness of power and is immersed in the pleasure of life and death, he will surely sink and fall into a place of eternal destruction from which it will be difficult to turn back."

"So if His Highness the Ninth Prince is determined to be ruthless and eradicate the roots when the evidence is solid, I will not stop him from killing more people."

"However, if he makes a mistake and has a wrong mind, I will definitely stop him. This is also for his safety. Only by doing things cleanly and without leaving any clues can he go further."

Ah Liu held up his hand and said, "The girl is very thoughtful. I hope the Ninth Prince can understand the girl's painstaking efforts."

Bai Ming smiled and then said: "Yao Dewang is probably not from Qin Fengye. This figure is probably an important secret chess player of the Beiyan Yuan family."

"Follow Yuan Wu's line closely and pay close attention to Bei Yan's activities. You may get unexpected gains. Don't take this person lightly."

Ah Liu responded: "Yes, girl."

Bai Mingwei asked: "Did the things I asked you to do when the Jin Mansion incident happened have any results?"

Ah Liu nodded: "Reply to the girl, my subordinate has received the reply."

Bai Ming slightly stretched out his hand: "Show me the letter."

Ah Liu took out a stack of letters and put them respectfully on Bai Mingwei's desk.

Bai Mingwei opened the letters and read them one by one.

Finally, she pressed the letter gently on the table: "That's it."

Ah Liu asked doubtfully: "Girl, do you have some clues?" Bai Mingwei nodded: "Exactly, it turns out that the money Fan Zhongqian earned in Jiangbei was transported to Yujing City in this way."

"And the channels of interest exchanges between him and the merchants have also been investigated clearly. That member Jin has done us a big favor."

It turned out that when Bai Mingwei went to Jin Mansion to rescue Yu Jianling, he discovered the secret of Jin Mansion.

After Jin Mansion was arrested, she immediately focused on all Jin Mansion's businesses.

At that time, she ordered the drunken secret guards to follow up on several clues. One was to dig out the merchants who intended to cultivate the epidemic, and the other was to find out the profit circulation channels of Jiangbei Interest Network.

It turns out that what she did was right.

After sorting out all the business dealings of Jin Mansion, the secret guard who was drunk today pulled out the radish and brought out the mud according to the flow of Jin Mansion in the bank, and unexpectedly learned the most important news.

Now, we have the accounting books of the Fu'an Salesian Bureau, evidence of the transportation channels of embezzled grain, medicinal materials and other stolen goods, and the confessions of the seven officials who have already confessed.

The entire Jiangbei corruption case has been completely revealed.

The net can be closed.

Ah Liu held up his hand and said, "Girl, now that I have found out the key points, I expect to take action soon. Please give me your instructions!"

Bai Ming smiled slightly: "There is indeed a very important thing for you to do. This matter will determine the future of Jiangbei and is no less important than purging officials."

Ah Liu looked respectful, waiting for Bai Mingwei's instructions: "Girl, please speak."

Bai Mingwei said: "I want you to make a list of the merchants involved in Jiangbei, and briefly and clearly list the businesses they operate."

"In addition, we must also list the merchants who are not involved and the businesses they operate. Then give this information to my fifth brother as quickly as possible. He knows what to do."

"The information must be accurate and the speed must be fast. All secret guards who are available will be assigned to you and must be handled properly."

Ah Liu agreed, then raised his eyes: "Girl, are you planning to expand Jin Chaozui's sphere of influence to Jiangbei?"

Bai Mingwei said: "Not only that, I want to stabilize the situation in Jiangbei, otherwise Jiangbei will definitely be unable to operate normally because merchants are arrested one after another."

"The cornerstone of a country is definitely its people. However, the country's resources and wealth are in the hands of the powerful and the rich."

"It is precisely because of these businessmen that their businesses penetrate into all aspects of people's lives. Once they collectively collapse, people's lives will become riddled with holes."

"If someone quickly seizes their original business at this time, the situation will be temporarily stable, but a dominant one means monopoly."

"We don't know whether we can catch merchants like Yao Dewang. If Yao Dewang takes over all the business in Jiangbei, then he can single-handedly shake Jiangbei."

"Jin Chao Zui is now living in five cities in northern Xinjiang and does not interfere in business operations outside the capital. But now only Jin Chao Zui's financial resources can control the business affairs in Jiangbei."

"It would be best if we can take this opportunity to expand our business and make up for the expenditures for disaster relief. If not, we must not let uncontrollable businessmen take advantage."

"In the future, when the situation stabilizes, merchants from all over will come here, and the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce will become increasingly stable. It will not be difficult to get out now."

Ah Liu nodded: "My subordinates understand. The Fifth Young Master can show off his talents and he will definitely be happy."

Bai Ming smiled and said: "Our goal is not to make profits, but to people's livelihood. Fifth Brother will be constrained by this, and he may not be happy if his hands are tied. However, it is also a good thing that Fifth Brother's talents can be used above. "

Ah Liu responded: "I will take care of it immediately."

Bai Ming raised his eyes slightly, his eyes sharp: "By the way, I would like to inform all localities to take precautions. The time is ripe for the trial of Fan Zhongqian. Don't create any complications that will affect the progress of the matter. Especially beware of his accomplices."

Ah Liu took the order: "Yes, girl."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Ah Liu didn't say anything and quietly retreated.

Bai Ming pressed the letter on the table slightly, his eyes flashing brightly.
