Chapter 246 Investigation
Wang Dengku's secrecy work is still good, at least on his territory, this kind of confidential conversation between him and Feng Laosi has not been heard by others, and no one who should not know about his previous discussion with that Mr. Fan knows. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, Luo Yanghe and Song Qi did not find any useful information in the city.
However, this does not mean that Luo Yangxing is honestly idle and does not work, in fact, although Wang Dengku has done a good job in the secrecy of the transaction with the Houjin army, and he has not been able to find out too much information for a while, but after all, he has done business in Zhangjiakou for so many years, not counting this transaction with the Houjian army, Wang Dengku has done countless prohibited things before, and these things are basically semi-public secrets in the local area, so it is not difficult to investigate these things.
And although the seriousness of selling grain and iron tools to the Mongols and the Jiannu of Liaodong is not the same, it is only relative, after all, this kind of forbidden materials should not have appeared in Zhangjiakou at all, and Wang Dengku has been doing this business for so many years, and the cumulative transaction volume must be frighteningly high, if he really wants to dig deeper, he will naturally not have any good fruit to eat.
So since Luo Zhenxing had just mixed in with the recruited people (when Luo Zhenxing met Zhang Chao, all the other Jinyi Wei spies disguised as passers-by around him saw this scene and reported the situation to Luo Yangxing in a timely manner), it was difficult to find out any useful information for a while, so Luo Yangxing had to investigate Wang Dengku's past business with the Mongols in order to be fully prepared, even if there was really no evidence of Wang Dengku's transaction with the Jiannu army in the future, It's good that there are things that can deal with the emperor.
If Xiao Mu was here, he would have immediately understood Luo Yangxing's intentions, to give an inappropriate example, that is, Wang Dengku's sale of grain and iron tools in Zhangjiakou was like making weapons, and the transaction with the Houjin army was like building nuclear weapons, and the transaction with the Mongolian tribes could be regarded as other conventional weapons. And whether it is a nuclear weapon or a conventional weapon, it is clear that it should not be built by a businessman's Wang Dengku. Therefore, although the danger factor of nuclear weapons is much higher than that of conventional weapons, as long as the evidence of Wang Dengku's large-scale manufacture of conventional weapons can be found, it is enough to bring him to justice, thus indirectly thwarting his illegal attempt to build nuclear weapons -- in short, there is a little bit of "curve to save the country" in it.
Of course, although they did not directly collect evidence of Wang Dengku's transaction with Jiannu, Luo Yangxing's current work was still in a very secret state, after all, once Wang Dengku knew that the Jinyi Wei commander was personally investigating him, even if it was not his transaction with the Mongols, but just that he ate a few bowls of rice last night, and slept with any concubine, he would startle the snake and make Wang Dengku feel defensive.
Therefore, Luo Yangxing also adopted a similar approach to Wang Dengku's people on this issue, that is, "you can only come and not go", and all the witnesses he found to know about Wang Dengku's previous business situation were all left in the inn where Luo Yangxu was located without exception, and no one could leave.
In order to avoid Wang Dengku being aware, Luo Yanghe and Song Qi are also looking for some people who participated in Wang Dengku's business in the early years, and they have not had anything to do with him recently, or to put it more bluntly, Luo Yanghe and Song Qi are actually three guys who worked with Wang Dengku before and later left.
But fortunately, there are only three guys, and the number is not large, if there are hundreds of people like the people recruited by Wang Dengku, then this inn will definitely not be able to fit for a long time, and it will cause Wang Dengku's attention.
The three guys were inexplicably and secretly approached, and until now, they didn't know who was looking for them, only that it was a big official, and as for what was going on with them, they didn't know anything about it.
"The villain has seen the adult." In any case, the people who came to them were beings that they couldn't look up to at all, and they understood this very well, so when they were brought to see Luo Yangxing, they also honestly knelt on the ground and bowed to worship.
Of course, Luo Yangxing did not live in the modern society of the later generations like Xiao Mu, and he did not feel any discomfort about such things as others kneeling to him, so he did not have any intention of letting these three guys stand up.
"Do you know why I came here?" Luo Yangxing first asked a very open question, which is actually a manifestation of interrogation skills, on the one hand, to avoid directly getting straight to the point so that the other party is prepared, on the other hand, it can also bring a strong psychological shock to the other party, especially in this ancient Ming Dynasty, ordinary people in front of the big officials, they are even more afraid.
It is also precisely because this is the ancient Ming Dynasty that it is very particular about the concept of "loyalty", and in terms of specific examples, that is, the guys who work under the hands of businessmen will "start from the beginning" under normal circumstances, and will not leave easily, like Xiao Mu's modern society, which family gives more money to go to which, it is difficult for people who live in the era of job-hopping such as eating.
So Luo Yangxing found these three people who are no longer working in Wang Dengku, which is undoubtedly very clever, since these three people have left Wang Dengku, it means that they are not "loyal" and other characters, and they will definitely not keep any secrets for Wang Dengku. In other words, it is also possible that they were treated unfairly by Wang Dengku at all, so they left, so they would not help Wang Dengku hide the truth of the facts, and maybe they would take the initiative to confess because of the resentment in their hearts.
However, this also requires Luo Yangxing's side to give them confidence first, because the fool knows that Wang Dengku must have a lot of power, if he betrays him so easily today, maybe he will be severely retaliated against when he goes back at night, so these three guys will definitely not have much to do on weekdays, and take the initiative to report Wang Dengku's situation to the government - and there are many ways to give them confidence, but the first point is to establish their absolute authority.
"Back to the adult, the villain doesn't know." The three guys also answered in unison, at this time they didn't know what the intention of the big official in front of them was, everyone's hearts were extremely nervous, and this tension was exactly what Luo Yangxing wanted to see.
