Episode 13 Fourteen Grid's Poison Scheme

February 5th, "Xiang's Fraud Case".

Xiang Xiaoqiang flipped through a large pile of newspapers in front of him, overjoyed. The newspapers in front of me all reported on the "Xiang Fraud Case," and several newspapers invariably used "Your Majesty Believes in Me, the People Believe in Me" as the front-page headline. This is exactly what Xiang Xiaoqiang said in an interview with reporters at the entrance of the headquarters yesterday. Different from the silent and indifferent attitude of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, yesterday Xiang Xiaoqiang communicated with the media in a wise and timely manner, and his attitude was friendly and modest, and by yesterday afternoon and this morning, half of the newspapers were either objective and neutral, or stood on the side of sympathetic Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Xiang Xiaoqiang originally expected that the "New Century Daily" would first throw out a stone, and one stone would stir up a thousand waves, and the evening newspaper in the afternoon and the morning newspaper the next day would be attacked and scolded. But now the situation of public opinion is clearly better than imagined.

Maybe it's because of his previous deeds such as going deep into the Northern Qing Dynasty to save people, the defense of Nanjing, etc., and the folk image has always been better, plus this time the Metropolitan Procuratorate really didn't find out anything.

Of course, the crusade against Xiang Xiaoqiang's articles and newspapers still accounted for most of them. However, there are also many well-known political commentators who bluntly analyzed that Xiang Xiaoqiang was likely to be framed this time. The biggest possibility is the Zheng family. Because first, Yuhua Cong's company belongs to the Zheng family, and second, Xiang Xiaoqiang is now very favored by His Majesty, especially after receiving the edict of "controlling all the armies of the Ming Dynasty", which will offend many people. Among them, the most intolerable is the Zheng family.

The Zheng family's reputation has plummeted. Whether it is in Zhu Yourong or in the outside world. The last time the Yangtze River defense line was breached, Zheng Gongyin and Madame Li colluded with the commander of the Praetorian Guard to put the empress under house arrest in an attempt to coerce the empress into giving up Nanjing, and this matter has already been spread. Although in the end, the charges were put on the commander of the Praetorian Guard, but the people and newspapers still speculated that the commander of the Praetorian Guard could not have such courage, there must be a backstage, most likely Zheng Gongyin.

Now that the "Xiang's fraud case" is involved in Zheng Gongyin, Xiang Xiaoqiang's side will be much easier. Yesterday's evening newspaper had a few "pen sticks" who suggested that the Zheng family might have framed Xiang Xiaoqiang, and by today's morning newspaper, there will be more articles on Xiang Xiaoqiang's side.

Xiang Xiaoqiang flipped through the newspaper, beautiful.

"Xiang Xiaoqiang."

There was an extra newspaper in front of him. Xiang Xiaoqiang looked up and saw Fourteen Gege standing in front of him. She smiled, her face full of pride, and her chin lit the newspaper:

"Let's see."

Really...... Fourteen Gege always gives herself enough face when others are present, calling "Adult", but when there are only two people present, her princess shelf is always full.

Xiang Xiaoqiang picked up the newspaper and glanced at it:

"Qinhuai Daily? I've got it here, what's wrong? ”

Fourteen Gege laughed:

"Did you see the article signed 'Mengfan'?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at her puzzled, and looked down for a while. He seemed to have an impression of this author and quickly found the article.

"Haha," Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled, "yes, yes, this is it." "Qinhuai Daily" is an evening newspaper, and last night was the first in this article to suggest that the Zheng family may have framed me in the background, and then this morning, more than a dozen newspapers also said the same. Ha ha. ”

Fourteen Gege said with a smile:

"I wrote this article."

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, raised his head, looked at Fourteen Gege in disbelief, and looked at her as if he didn't know:

"You...... Written? ”

Fourteen Gege nodded, pulled the leather chair and sat down, looking very happy, and said with a smile:

"Yes, I bought it after I went back last night, and I had a good night...... Hehe, when I came to Daming for the first time, I didn't expect it to be used. I tried to vote a few times in Japan before, but maybe I was too young and naïve at the time, so no one used it...... Hehe, I didn't expect that today, Daming's newspaper would use my article. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the fourteen grids and was full of emotion. Even the dignified princess of Liaoyang, the once sinister and vicious spy head, was as happy as a child when she watched her article turn into lead characters for the first time.

However, Mengfan ...... This pen name is too Qiong Yao, right...... Such a romantic, girlish pen name, can also come up with fourteen grids? Besides, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match the content of the sharp article!

"Ahh Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly thought and sweated, "You won't leave your address, will you?" They won't find out that you are the princess of Liaoyang, so they used it, right? ”

"How so!" Fourteen Gege sighed deeply, "I didn't write the address at all, I asked Xiao Wu to go out to vote for the mailbox." Alas, it's a pity, so you can't get the manuscript fee. It is said that the cost of such a large newspaper is at least five cents per line. My article has a total of 25 lines, and the manuscript fee should be one and two corners and five cents! It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at this princess with an annual income of 700,000 Mingyang, but here he regretted bitterly that one Mingyang had two corners and five points, which was really crying and laughing.

He came to his senses and smiled:

"Then I really thank you...... If it weren't for your article, there wouldn't be so many newspapers on my side this morning. Alas, it's a pity, I knew that the black cauldron was so easy to carry back, so I should have sent an anonymous letter to the Metropolitan Procuratorate later. The longer the black cauldron is backed, the more secure my position will be on His Majesty's side. The longer and hotter this matter is, the more the people will support me when the 'truth' is revealed. ”

Fourteen Gege pondered, and as soon as he put away the appearance of the "romantic girl" just now, he regained his calm and calculating appearance. She said slowly:

"No, you're wrong. Now it's time to take it as soon as you see it. After I wrote this article, it now arouses everyone's suspicion of the Zheng family. Now is the right time to stop. ”

"Why?"

"If you look at the words used in these newspapers this morning, few of them say 'Changping Hou', they are all full of 'Zheng family' and 'Zheng family'. They brought the entire Ming Zheng family with them. We won't stop anymore, from the king of Yanping down, you stand on the opposite side of the entire Zheng family. Can you afford this? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang shook his head dumbfoundedly:

"I can't bear it."

"So," continued Fourteen Gege's contemplation, "we sent the anonymous letter to the Metropolitan Procuratorate yesterday, and it was the right time. Just when everyone first began to suspect the Zheng family, the truth was revealed: Ah, it turned out to be the deputy manager of Yuhua Cong's company! Then, you have also washed it, and the Zheng family has also washed it. ”

"Oh......" Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, and suddenly muttered, "In that case, why did you write that article to arouse everyone's suspicion of the Zheng family?" ”

Fourteen Gege laughed:

"I was just writing and playing, and I didn't expect to report it. However, this also has an added benefit, that is, you are really washed, and although the Zheng family is washed off on the surface, people will always faintly suspect that this is the scapegoat that the Zheng family is afraid of implicating themselves. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang thought carefully about the relationship and nodded slowly. This matter must be controlled within the level of "self-defense", and the Zheng family must not be offended. Otherwise, I really can't bear it.

Now, he has defeated Zheng Gongyin in Zhu Yourong, and the wonderful thing is that Zheng Gongyin doesn't know it yet. In the outside world, he was successfully self-defending and had a slight upper hand. Even in the eyes of the Zheng family, he saw the trick and did not go too far, and did not lead the fire to the Zheng family itself.

It was nice and perfect.

He looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was ten o'clock in the morning. If you guessed correctly, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is already investigating the unlucky manager of Yuhuacong.

……

Changping Road, Daming Royal Bank.

The Ming Dynasty had two largest banks, one was the Imperial Bank, which was the central bank of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was the Royal Bank. The Royal Bank is the royal family's own bank and is much smaller than the Imperial Bank. In the past dynasties, there were two major shareholders, the majority shareholder was the emperor, and the minority shareholder was the king of Yanping. Some of the other small shareholders are also mostly relatives of the clan and the imperial family. Although the Royal Bank is smaller than the Imperial Bank, it is much higher-grade, and the customers are mostly wealthy and do not accept small customers. Therefore, it also has good security and privacy, and is known as "the only Daming Bank that can compete with Swiss banks".

Therefore, Zhang Fushan, deputy general manager of Yuhuacong, agreed without doubt when he heard that Zheng Yuxuan asked him to deposit his things in the Royal Bank.

But now, the old man Qian of the Secrecy Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is negotiating with two people at the Royal Bank. Old man Qian received an anonymous letter yesterday afternoon, the writer claimed to be an insider of Yuhuacong, saying that he knew the truth about this "Xiang's fraud case": In order to get the purchase order, the general manager of Yuhuacong instructed the deputy manager Zhang Fushan to buy the two gifts and bribe Xiang Xiaoqiang. But Zhang Fushan didn't give the gift to Xiang Xiaoqiang at all, and swallowed it by himself.

In order to muddy the water, he said that he was not satisfied with receiving gifts from Xiaoqiang, and asked for two bulletproof cars, so he felt that it was too much to ask Xiaoqiang for bribes, so he went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to sue him. In this way, no one knows that Zhang Fushan left the gift by himself, and everyone will think that it has been sent to Xiang Xiaoqiang. It doesn't matter if Xiang Xiaoqiang doesn't admit it, anyway, no one has accepted a bribe - and the bribe will admit it. After the matter passed, these two priceless gifts were Zhang Fushan's own.

However, Zhang Fushan probably felt that it was not safe to keep things in his own home, so he went to the Royal Bank yesterday afternoon to rent a safe and put it in the bank safe. Now go to the Royal Bank and find out.

After receiving this letter, Old Man Qian was like a treasure. He thought about it again and again, and felt that although the letter came from strangely, this "insider" was indeed reasonable. He went through various search procedures that afternoon, and the next morning he went to the Royal Bank's safe rental department and asked for the inspection of a customer's safe named Zhang Fushan.

The Royal Bank, of course, is reluctant to do so, and this involves the bank's reputation. In particular, Royal Bank, a bank known for its private, secure and quality service. But even in the most private bank, there are still a few institutions that can be checked. The first is the counter-espionage agency, such as Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the People's Guard, and the second is the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But the backstage of the Royal Bank is amazing, and the big boss is Zhu Yourong. Especially after the coup d'état, Zhu Yourong took over the imperial power by himself, and the Royal Bank felt that his waist was too hard, and the manager directly refused to accept the Metropolitan Procuratorate and refused to search. The two sides negotiated for two hours, and finally Qian Lao's hair froze, and he put out all the procedures, documents, and search warrants issued by Yu Shi, and finally warned the manager that he would be arrested if he did not cooperate. The manager was nervous at this time, weighed it, and felt that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was probably not talking about fun, and it was really possible to be arrested if he continued to obstruct it, so he reluctantly took out the customer list.

Old Man Qian's subordinates easily found the name "Zhang Fushan". Although the bank has a spare key, the password is in the customer's hand. In the end, the bank manager, under the forced order of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, had the safe open open.

The box's safety box was pulled out and opened, revealing two items inside. A box of sweets, a bundle of Pu'er tea.

Old man Qian trembled with excitement, carefully took out the candy box, opened it and saw that it was not candy, but indeed the appearance of gem raw materials.

Half an hour later, Zhang Fushan, deputy general manager of Yuhuacong, was detained at home by the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
