Chapter 100: The Nest Case
Jiang Zhiqing did not disappoint Ye Kai, the efficiency of the security bureau he created was amazing, the next day, he personally selected dozens of "crows" and "night owls" to rush to Tianjin, ambushed around the Zhili Governor's Office, and then used the fastest time to form a simple intelligence network, the other end of the intelligence network went straight to Ye Kai.
In this way, before the party arrived, a carefully arranged trap had been disguised, waiting for Na Tong to jump in.
Jiang Zhiqing's soldiers were fast, but Natong was slow here, he rushed to the governor of Zhili as the minister of reserve military aircraft, naturally he wanted to talk about pomp, and it took four days to arrive in Tianjin by train, and as soon as he took office, naturally, Ye Kai's eyes were all around, and he didn't even know it.
After doing all this, Ye Kai did not rush to make the next instructions, he told Jiang Zhiqing to stand by and closely monitor what Na Tong did in Tianjin, and not to act without authorization, and after that, he lay on the chair in Liangfu and counted the days with his fingers, waiting for the expected thing to happen with peace of mind.
In a few days, the local officials in Tianjin have come to the Governor's Mansion to visit that Tong, with the gold gift naturally needless to say, that Tong is not refused, although the acting governor of Zhili is also ten days and half a month, but it is a good opportunity to circle money, a lot of "offerings" are put into their own pockets, a few years ago, that Tong in order to stammer, spent more than 100,000 taels of silver, after gaining the trust of the latter, the two people directly did the sale of the official mantle, all kinds of official titles are clearly marked with prices, notorious, of course, the people will call the two together" Qingna Company", the already smoky Qing Dynasty officialdom, when it came to the hands of these two, it smelled of rot everywhere.
Na Tong took bribes, there is indeed a set, not subject to open courtesy, only accept dark money, and advertise himself as honest and self-receiving, but actually festering inside, no matter how he hides it, a pair of eagle eyes are always watching his every move, these are all recorded in detail by Jiang Zhiqing's people, and they can be used as a lot of stolen evidence.
Of course, it is still too unrealistic to bring down Natong just by relying on these, or is it still that sentence, Natong is greedy, who is not greedy? The illness of the Qing court is rotten in the bones, and a few of the civil and military tremors of the Manchu Dynasty are clean, which Zaifeng also knows, so if you want to drive Natong out of the military aircraft, you need a fuse to completely detonate him.
Only when this fire is out of control can Natong be completely put to an end in the political arena, Ye Kai is not in a hurry, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the timeline, he didn't wait too long, a few days later, when Jiang Zhiqing's news came, the fuse was finally ignited.
Under Ye Kai's deliberate arrangement, at this moment, Na Tong's political life has entered the countdown, because this fuse is too big to be ignored, and at its end is connected to the most money-burning project in the late Qing Dynasty and thirty years
Railway!
Historically, the acting governor of Natong was only ten days old, and in just a few days, there was a major event, the Jinpu Railway Nest case.
Tianjin-Pudong railway east from Tianjin, south to Nanjing, as the main artery to open up the north and south, the imperial court attaches great importance to it, in order to complete as soon as possible, the Qing court and Yingde borrowed 9.8 million pounds, divided into the north and south ends of the construction at the same time, is expected to be completed in four years, however, it is this coveted huge amount of money, the project has just been constructed for less than a year, and the big problem of embezzlement of project funds has been exposed.
Under the vigorous coverage of the Jinmen newspapers, this corruption scandal continued to ferment, and in just a few days, the case quickly heated up, and the news reached Na Tong, the governor of Zhili, who naturally could not remain indifferent as a feudal official in charge of the military and political power of Gyeonggi, and ordered a thorough investigation of the case under the tremendous pressure of public opinion.
The case was quickly solved, it took less than three days before and after, under the severe punishment, a group of corrupt elements were corrected, and a lot of dirty silver was recovered, Natong reported to the imperial court, stating the beginning and end of this matter, the case was basically cleared here, and the railway also restarted construction, and the errand was done so well, Natong naturally got a commendation, so, this sensational nest case, quickly calmed down.
In Ye Kai's opinion, this original version is simply nothing new, what he wants to do is to completely rewrite the script.
The case was solved in just three days, Na Tong's case-handling efficiency is comparable to that of Sherlock Holmes, this big nest case involving millions of taels was closed in a hurry, what kind of black transaction is behind it, no one can say, but one thing, Ye Kai is very clear, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, there have always been countless cats hidden under the railroad tracks.
Even if there is no problem with Natong, there is a crime he can't escape, as long as there is a fish that slips through the net among the people involved, and there is an incorrect amount of money, it can be infinitely magnified, who told you to report to the imperial court, swear that this case has been completely concluded, and the people involved are all in the law, and the cowhide blows so loudly, you will have to pay a geometric price.
Before sending Jiang Zhiqing, Ye Kai had a good draft, and in that brand-new script, Na Tong's role came to a 180-degree reversal.
Of course, Na Tong can't sing a one-man show, he has a black face, so he naturally has a white face, and this white face has appeared on this occasion more than once, which is perfect for him.
Na Tong reported the results to the imperial court, the next day, Zaifeng called Ye Kai to discuss, before that, the Military Aircraft Department has given a deal of advice, that Tong has merit, should be rewarded, the personnel involved should be punished quickly, to be correct.
"Liangbi, what do you think of this case?" Zaifeng asked Ye Kai with the handling opinion, although he was not right with the military aircraft, he also felt that there was no problem, after all, the matter was related to the affairs of the imperial court, and he could not mix too many personal feelings.
"The minister doesn't know the details of what happened, so he doesn't dare to speak at will." Ye Kai first said vaguely, and then continued: "However, it is too early for the case to be closed like this, you see, regent, this case has caused a storm in the city, and the stakes are very high, but the Military Aircraft Department frankly said that it was too arbitrary to deal with it quickly, Yi-Xuan has always been cautious, this time something is abnormal, without suspicion, what is the hidden meaning in this case?" ”
"You're saying that Na Tong has something to do with this case?" Zaifeng frowned slightly, and heard something meaningful.
"The minister doesn't suspect that Tong is a person, the minister just thinks that this case is too big, it involves a wide range of people, and it is related to my face, the regent should be cautious, and the minister suggests that he should send a minister to review one or two, and after the verification results come down, it is not too late to reward the merit, and it is not too late to punish the guilty."
Zaifeng thought about it, Ye Kai's suggestion was more appropriate, and after thinking about it again, he nodded slowly.
Seeing that Zaifeng seemed to be inclined to his own point of view, Ye Kai saw the right time and said: "Regarding the minister, the minister has a suitable candidate. ”
"Oh?" Zaifeng looked at Ye Kai, "Who?" You say. ”
"The Ministry of Posts and Communications"
Ye Kai didn't make a detour this time, and directly said Sheng Xuanhuai's name, and then gave a very good reason.
"Sheng Daren thoroughly investigated Chen Bi's deficit case, and did a good job, this time let him investigate the railway corruption case again, I think he will be able to find out, besides, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, in charge of the national railway, and he is always more familiar with the things on the railway than others, so it is just right for him to come, besides" Speaking of this, Ye Kai paused, and said in a low voice: "Sheng Xuanhuai has a neutral position, impartial, neither a Yi-Xuan person, nor does he have any intersection with Natong, this is what the regent knows, and there is no constraint in handling the case, what we want is such a person." ”
There is no doubt that the latter sentence directly hit Zaifeng's mind, and with the experience of investigating Chen Bi last time, he paid special attention to this point.
"Then let Sheng Xuanhuai be the minister of the Imperial Mission."
There was no objection, Zaifeng nodded in agreement, he agreed with what Ye Kai said, no matter which condition Sheng Xuanhuai is the most suitable person.
Of course, Ye Kai also thought so.
Now it's finally time to use Sheng Xuanhuai, since Ye Kai helped him get the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, the latter should naturally return the favor, so that the transaction can continue.
Merchants, businessmen, you should know all the rules for getting started.
