Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 239 Shocking Discovery
No one knew what was in the jar until the lid was opened.

An account book and a notebook.

Yang Qian would get angry with anyone who said Fu Wenyi was a playboy! What playboy would mess around and keep accounts at the same time?
The account book was filled with all the bad debts I had recorded for Wu Youliang, some dating back four or five years. But it looked like they were just recent memories, and nothing further back was recorded.

The notes are Fu Wenyi's record of Wu Youliang's interesting words. This one is quite thick, and the earliest one can be traced back to eight years ago. The handwriting also has obvious subtle changes, and it can be seen that it was written slowly over time, which is different from the previous account book.

"Sir, do you want to take care of these two things first and then get Wu Youliang back?" Ma Dayuan stood by and waited quietly for a long time. Only after Yang Qian closed the last page did he ask tentatively.

Yang Qian leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed.

If he had read Fu Wenyi's accounts and notes before, he might have done as Ma Dayuan thought, finding a way to get Wu Youliang in first, and then cut the Gordian knot and get the entire Wu family in.

After all, people like Wu Youliang are even worse than the thugs on the street. Isn't it easy for him to get whatever he asks under Sanmu?
But now after reading the accounts and notes given by Fu Wenyi, Yang Qian no longer dared to do so. It was not because he was afraid of not being able to take down the Wu family, but because he suddenly discovered that what was hidden behind the Wu family seemed to be much bigger than he had thought!

"Think carefully about what Fu Wenyi said in the account and notes."

"Sir, I started writing this account after Fu Wenyi was injured for the first time. At first, he was just angry, but he also wanted to keep a backup plan. Later, after being humiliated several times, he felt relieved and wanted to find an opportunity to punish Wu Youliang, so he recorded it as detailed as possible.

As for this notebook, Fu Wenyi said he learned it from his father Fu Jie. It is what he saw and heard during his time with Wu Youliang, as well as some of his own conjectures afterwards. I feel that the contents are so confusing that many of them cannot be used. "

Ma Dayuan is more interested in account books than notes. After all, account books are very clear, with time, place, people and events clearly recorded, and can be used directly. Notes are too vague.

Yang Qian pondered for a moment and shook his head and said, "You should take a closer look at the account and the notebook. There are actually quite a few things that correspond to each other."

Ma Dayuan's heart moved, and he hurried forward to pick up the account book and notes and started to look at them again.

Yang Qian reminded him, "Pay attention to the number of times in the account that Wu Youliang asked the military office and the city guards to help him settle the matter?"

Ma Dayuan quickly counted them and said, "A total of six times in the past four years!"

"No matter how big the Wu family is, they are just merchants at best. They should be in contact with all aspects of the government office, not the military, let alone casually asking the military office and the city guards to help them. Why does he do that?
If you look at his notes, you will see that Wu Youliang said many times after drinking that more than half of the ironware and raw cowhide in Jizhou Prefecture were transported by his family's carts. He also said that the brave generals of the city guards of Jizhou Prefecture had to be polite to his father, otherwise he would strangle them.

Tsk, I remember that ironware and raw cowhide were special goods. After the government issued a permit, they were entrusted to the carriage and horse companies in various places to transport them. No matter how powerful the Hongyunfa Horse and Carriage Company was, it only contracted the transportation of ironware and raw cowhide around the provincial capital. Where did the "more than half" come from?
He even pinched the neck of a dignified general? Are you so angry? Are you crazy?
Look at the items in the account book that mentioned that the Wu family privately opened an iron mine and an iron workshop, and finally look back at Wu Youliang's attitude and relationship with the Jizhou Prefecture military. What can you see?"

Ma Dayuan calmed down from his initial excitement. Following Yang Qian's reminder, he quickly went through his notes and accounts. His expression was first puzzled, then hesitant, and finally his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Sir, do you mean that the Wu family is privately manufacturing military equipment and secretly selling it to the military office or the city guards?!"

What sin is this?

Treason!
Ma Dayuan has been working in the state police station for so long, but this is the first time he has encountered a case that may involve such a crime. For a moment, he was a little confused and a little shocked. Didn't we agree to deal with the Wu family and then dig deep into the old case to help Yun Dingpeng clear his name? At most, we can touch the Yue Wang behind.
Thinking of Prince Yue, Ma Dayuan's eyes widened even more, and his body trembled a little. He put these two things together and understood why Yang Qian didn't let him arrest the person first, but asked him to think about it carefully.

Privately manufacturing weapons and exchanging them with the city guards, and the person behind this may be Yue Wang, represented by Bai Yuan.
Treason. Prince Yue is plotting treason? !

"My lord, can't you?"

When Yang Qian saw the change in Ma Dayuan's expression, he knew that the other party must have figured out the ins and outs and was shocked.

"Bai Yuan knew that he couldn't let himself fall into our hands, and he guessed that his close follower Chen Yao was not a tough person, so he immediately convicted himself and sent himself to the military office. His movements were smooth and fluent, and it was obvious that he had a tacit understanding with the military office.

Wu Yuntong, the general of the military office, could tell that he must be from Bai Yuan's faction. Who was behind him? Wasn't it Yue Wangzhong?

Huang Yuan had said before that the Wu family might seem like just a wealthy merchant family, but they were a pillar of support for Prince Yue to amass wealth, and they were the most prominent.

Now it seems that the Wu family's rafter is not only extended forward, but also deeply embedded!
Compared to Bai Yuan, we must not act rashly. Even the methods we used before were really risky now. Fortunately, we are lucky and have not been discovered yet. "

"Sir, what if what Fu Wenyi said is not entirely true?"

"As long as 60% of it is true, it cannot be touched. Do you think Fu Wenyi's notes and accounts are 60% reliable?"

"I think there should be one." Ma Dayuan couldn't believe it, but he also had no doubt that what Fu Wenyi gave was a fake to trick people. After all, Fu Wenyi's emotions had reached that point, so it was unlikely that he would make it up.

"Okay, for now, collect those informants in your hands, keep them safe, and don't take any risks. At the same time, this matter should only be known to the two of us for now, don't spread it around, understand?"

"I understand!" Ma Dayuan also understood the danger of the situation at this time. Regardless of whether the brothers in the Patrol Office were trustworthy or not, this matter should not be made public.

Yang Qian immediately took the accounts and notes and left the government office, hurried to the government office. He had to report the matter to Liu Chuan first.

But as soon as Yang Qian arrived at the gate of the government office, he saw a team of guards with golden swords on their waists. They were on high alert all the way and extended to outside Liu Chuan's office.

Without anyone reminding him, Yang Qian recognized the origins of these golden sword guards: the royal guards.

Similar to Juan's inner guards of the imperial city, the Royal Guards are exclusive to the royal family and their duty is to protect members of the royal family.

And who else could be the one in Jizhou Prefecture who could be escorted by the royal guards when traveling except Yue Wangzhong?
