The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 268

Although Jia Min is currently in control of Bu Kui's situation on the surface, there is still a long way to go before he can truly control Bu Kui.

His biggest advantage at present is that he has a government army that is absolutely loyal to him.This is his foundation.

The reason why Bu Kui's local forces did not mount a fierce resistance against him was that they were very afraid of his team.

Otherwise, if he was just a civil servant with a small number of entourages, let alone taking over Bu Kui, whether he could reach Bu Kui is still unknown.

The second advantage is that he is not controlled by General Ning Guta, he has a lot of autonomy, and can directly talk to the Ministry of War and the emperor.He has the right to give a memorial directly to the emperor without going through General Ningguta.

It was precisely because of seeing this that Zhao Dahai and Yang Lin started to move closer to him.

What they were afraid of was the threat from General Ning Guta, and getting close to Jia Min was actually their helpless choice.

It is very possible that they originally planned to wait and see for a while, but the capture of Yizhihua made them unable to wait any longer.

If he hesitated at this moment, they might be the ones to deal with when Jia Min completely controlled the situation.

"How does Chief Min plan to deal with Qian Delu's matter?"

"Qian Delu is dead, and Ningguta has reached a conclusion, and the court has accepted Ningguta's conclusion. I just came here, so it is not appropriate to take radical actions. However, the truth about Qian Delu will sooner or later Let the imperial court know. Otherwise, not only will I be guilty of negligence, but you will also not be able to escape."

Qian Delu's crime and the real cause of death will be uncovered sooner or later.Otherwise, it would be a hidden danger to Zhao Dahai and Yang Lin.

No matter how serious Qian Delu's crimes were, if the higher-ups found out about the fact that the Yamen was attacked by exiles and the chief officer was killed, it would be enough for them to drink a pot.

"This matter needs an appropriate time to resolve it. It's not the time yet. Besides, there is still no real evidence to say how Qian Delu corrupted the law and acted recklessly."

Yang Lin stood up, opened the cabinet, and took out a cloth bag, which contained several ledgers.

"His evidence is all here. These are not complete, but there are six to seventy thousand taels of silver, which is enough to explain the problem."

Jia Min looked at the account book for a while, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.

This Yang Lin, at this moment, is still playing tricks on me, and even came up with such a thing to fool me.

He also wanted to completely bring down Qian Delu and Zhong Ding, but he didn't want to contribute, so he stayed out of the matter and asked me to fight Zhong Ding and Ning Guta by myself.

"It's just a ledger, without witnesses or physical evidence, so it's useless. I'll talk about it later."

"What is Chief Min's plan regarding the matter of Zhong Ding?"

"It's the same. Let's wait for a while. The current criminal evidence seems to be less."

"Is Chief Min planning to kill him completely?"

"Do you think I'll let him go?"

"I heard that I'm going to treat Chief Min to a drink, and there are a few people who want to come over and ask Chief Min for advice in person. I wonder if Chief Min is willing to meet them?"

"Who is there?"

"Not outsiders, just Xu Mingtao, Wu Minqiu and Zhao Dahai."

Oh, this game was indeed planned in advance.

"Why not, let them come, it will be more lively if there are more people drinking."

So Yang Lin asked his son to find some people, and after a while, the three of them arrived, so they drank together.

So far, Zhao Dahai and Yang Lin's influence in the local area has basically surfaced.

Among Bu Kui's original six leading figures, Zhong Ding was locked up, and now there are four here. The second Zuo Zuo leader, Feng Kui, did not appear, obviously not from the circle in front of him.

So, what kind of character is Feng Kui?Is it from the Zhongding family, or is it from the middle school?

Alas, these guys, one by one, are not worrying.In this place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, there are still fights.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It can be seen that this sentence makes sense.

"Just drinking is not fun, why not play a game to add to the fun."

Jia Min suggested.

"Okay, I wonder what games Chief Min is good at?"

"When I was in the imperial capital, I often did business. To do business, you have to settle accounts. You have never seen my ability to calculate accounts. Now let you experience it."

"In this way, the three of you come up with numbers arbitrarily, and Yang Dianshi uses the abacus to calculate. I don't use anything. I can calculate faster and more accurately than anyone else. I will deal with the four of you alone. If you lose, you will be punished with alcohol."

Naturally, Jia Min wanted to use mental arithmetic to show off his abilities.

Yang Lin has always been very confident in his abacus skills, so he complied.

So, Zhao Dahai, Xu Mingtao, and Wu Min asked the three of them to come up with a number, and Jia Min and Yang Lin did the math.

As a result, Jia Min naturally won every time.After counting for twelve rounds, the four of them had three glasses of wine each, and this was the end.

"Yang Dianshi, when I handed over to Chief of Staff Feng that day, he always said that your numbers were wrong. Do you know why this time? Let me tell you the truth, all my soldiers can write and count."

"As the head of the regiment, if I don't need them to force me, how can they obey me? So, Yang Dianshi, you don't have to fool me with that fake account book."

The account book that Yang Lin showed to Jia Min at the beginning, Jia Min took a quick look and knew it was fake.Maybe some things in it are true, but this account must have been compiled indiscriminately.

There are two bases for Jia Min's judgment. One is that some numbers in it are contradictory and repeated, and the arrangement of some items is also very confusing.

Another basis is that the numbers appearing in it, the frequency of [-] appearing too high.

According to the law of statistical hypothesis testing, the occurrence of the number "one" in an account should basically account for about half of it.In Yang Lin's accounts, the number "one" appears too rarely.

Jia Min didn't even need to do a detailed calculation to know that this was a fake account.

Doing arithmetic games and drinking alcohol is fake, and Jia Min's goal is to uncover the problem of fake ledgers.

Yang Lin did encounter this problem when handing over to Feng Ziying.

The few people brought by Feng Ziying didn't use abacus, and often said which number was wrong, and after checking it with the abacus, it was true that what they said was correct.

Yang Lin was always puzzled by this, but now that Jia Min has said it, he realizes that there is indeed something famous in it, and it's not someone else's ignorance.

According to Jia Min's analysis, the reason why Yang Lin handed over a fake account book should have two motives.

One is to test him, and the other is to keep a hand.When Jia Min really wants to investigate Qian Delu, his real account book will be useful.

Not necessarily to prove Qian Delu's crime, but to protect themselves.

If Jia Min cooperates with them and gives them a few things they want, they will hand over the real evidence of Qian Delu's crime.

If Jia Min does not cooperate with them, or fails to give them what they want, he will not hand over the evidence.Ask Jia Min to make this matter into a pot of raw rice, and in the end Jia Min can't eat it and walks around.They themselves have leeway.

In fact, they really intended to do so.

At the same time, this indirectly proves another thing: they themselves are not clean.

With this guess, Jia Min re-examined Feng Kui.

Ever since Jia Min came, Feng Kui seemed to keep a distance from him.Neither close nor distant.It's all businesslike.

The news from Wei Ruolan also proves that Feng Kui is different.

On the surface, Feng Kui seems to be closer to Zhong Ding and Zhao Dahai, but in fact it is more because of his more compatible personality.Their personal relationship may be more harmonious, but in terms of interests, there may not be any overlap.

This is a middle man.Not standing in line may be a means of self-protection.This illustrates a problem: it is likely that Feng Kui is the least problematic.In this struggle for wealth and power, he is still an outsider.

It is likely that people like Feng Kui are the ones who are really worth relying on.

"I tell you frankly, if you think that the officers of our regiment are children and despise them because of this, you are very wrong."

"These people are indeed young, but all of them are descendants of aristocratic families, and they have been knowledgeable since they were young. Who hasn't been nurtured in those big families? Chief of Staff Feng, Chief of Staff Chen, and Chief of Guards have all done it before. For big business, the training of our government corps is something you have never seen before."

"So, it is very difficult for some things to fool us. We haven't started the investigation yet. Once we start to clean up the past, do you think we can't find out? Although we are investigating Qian Delu and Zhong Ding , but, who can guarantee that others will not be involved? Can you guarantee that everyone in Bu Kui is of one mind with you? Are your butts so clean?"

"With you, I may save some time when I start doing things, but without you, I will not do things? If I make up my mind to do it, who can stop me?"

"I'm new here. I have nothing to do with Bu Kui's past. I'm not greedy here. Who do you think I'm afraid of?"

"Let me tell you, don't think that without you, I can't do anything here. It's just a desolate place like Bukui. Didn't this place exist when I didn't come here before? Why do you think that, Bu Kui can't do without you?"

"Don't believe the words of the emperor Shan Gao, and don't believe the words that the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. Zhao Dahai, I told you that the fate of a flower is not in my hands, but in yours. , care about your thoughts."

"This sentence is also applicable to you. Your fate is not in my hands, but in your own hands, and it depends on your own thoughts."

"What's a small group of bandits? I sent a battalion to kill him. No matter how big he is, General Ning Guta, can he still be bigger than the emperor? How can you be bigger than General Ning Guta? So, Think about it for yourself, don't play tricks with me anymore?"

"If you want to save your wealth and future, show me your sincerity. If you are so half-hearted, no one will accept you. In the end, you will be the ones who suffer the most."

When Jia Min said these words, several people were stunned.

Why are you talking like that?Could it be that he will not let us go?
