Chapter 32 Deception
"Fake?" Wen Mao was not only not afraid, but became interested, "Interesting, who is pretending to be a passerby?" ”
The man in the rain said: "It has not been identified. ”
"I'll report it as soon as I find out."
"Yes."
Wen Mao asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Gao Taishou told the adults to be careful."
"You tell Gao Taishou, I'll be careful." Wen Mao turned around and took two steps into the house, and suddenly stopped, "By the way, urge Gao Taishou, hurry up and find a way to find out where the real Qincha is?" ”
"Yes." The man answered in the rain, then kicked the ground with both feet, using the force of recoil to speed up, and soon disappeared into the rain.
Wen Mao set off for the council hall, his figure was fluttering, and he couldn't see what means he used, but he quickly sat at the top of the council hall.
The four masters came one after another, and the six stewards soon arrived.
Wen Mao and everyone else arrived, and said, "You should have heard that the imperial court sent a minister to come. ”
A lean man said with a smile: "I heard that it is the emperor's third son, and his name seems to be Zhao Jianyan." ”
The man's name is Shipu, and he is the second leader of the Sanshan Walled City, and his strength has reached the late stage of the awakening of the Tiantu Realm, and he is also a first-class player.
Wen Mao said: "What do you think? ”
Shi Pu said: "A stinky boy who has not dried up, afraid of a bird." ”
"He has been to the Northwest before, and his performance is average, and his skills and means are not very good." Said the woman standing behind Shi Pu.
The woman's name is Chi Chi, her appearance is plain, her skin is rough, and she looks no different from the village woman in the field. She is the third master here, and her strength is in the late stage of the awakening of the Tiantu Realm. Although she is a woman, she speaks with a big grin, and there is nothing to hide.
Wen Mao said: "No matter what, the emperor sent him over, and we have to deal with it steadily." ”
Chi Chi said with a smile: "The emperor asked a person in his twenties to suppress bandits, and he can suppress a bird bandit." It is estimated that they can't even get over Gao Taishou's side, and they are talking about bandits. ”
An old man in the back said slowly: "This emperor is not simple, you should be careful. Zhao Jianyan has a few catties and taels, and he can feel at ease by giving it a try. ”
He is the oldest person in the council hall and the steward of the Wen family, although he is a steward, he has a very high status. The old man is nameless, Wen Mao calls him uncle, and others add the word "master" after the word "uncle", and people call him old uncle. The strength is not high, only the Spirit Void Eight Heavens.
Wen Mao smiled: "The most important thing at the moment is to find this little Qincha and force him to leave." ”
"Who's going to find it?" Chi Chi asked.
The youngest of the four masters stepped forward, "I'll go find it." ”
Wen Mao asked, "Fourth, do you have a clue?" ”
The fourth named Ma Kun, who looked like he was in his early thirties, had actually lived for seventy or eighty years, and he said unhurriedly: "I think the real Qincha may have already come in, as long as you mobilize your forces to pay attention to the people who have entered Jiezhou during this time, you can always find them." ”
The old uncle said: "It's not easy to find them, there must be masters around Zhao Jianyan, we can't guess how high they are, let alone bet." Approaching rashly, I'm afraid it's us who will be cleaned up. ”
Wen Mao said with a smile: "Let Gao Taishou search the Zhenqincha, even if his people collide with the Zhenqincha, it's not a big deal." Zhao Jianyan relied on this article alone, and he couldn't move the officials to the local officials. ”
Ma Kun said: "We don't do anything? ”
Chi Chi crossed his hands on his hips and said, "It's not okay to do nothing, I'm not idle, the shining spar is right in front of me, let me not take it...... No way. ”
Wen Mao smiled and said, "Remember, those spars don't belong to our family, we can only have small heads." ”
"Why! Those people don't do anything, and they can still take the lion's head. Chi Chi said dissatisfied.
Wen Mao sighed and said: "Don't be too greedy, it's good now, the Sanshan Walled City occasionally sends some people to make a show, and there are three million two hundred and eighty-nine grade spars in the account, how much more do you want?" ”
Chi Chi knew that he couldn't say that he was a big master, so he waved his hand and said, "It's just unhappy, I feel like I'm losing." ”
The two large crystal mines in Jiezhou have a total output of more than 80 million taels of spar excavated every year. More than 70 million taels of these spars are eight- or nine-grade spars, which are of the lowest quality, but they are also the most commonly used "coins" in the cultivation world. The other hedron of various qualities added up to less than 10 million taels.
Gao Ning is the Taishou of Jiezhou, he has been a Taishou for more than 20 years, and he doesn't want to be promoted if he has the opportunity. When he first took office in Jiezhou, he was too punctual, and looking at the huge amount of spars that would be excavated tomorrow, he was moved.
The law and conscience prevented him from doing anything about the hedrons, but it didn't take long. Two years later, he did it, and he has been out of control ever since.
To this day, Gao Ning concealed the output of crystal ore, saying that 80 million taels was 50 million taels, and then made another sum from 50 million taels, and only 30 million taels were left to hand over to the imperial court.
He can't eat that much alone, and if he really eats alone, he won't live for a few days. On the first day, he was exposed by his colleagues that the case was too big, and it was decided by the emperor, and then he was arrested and beheaded in the imperial city. The reason why I can live for a while is because the distance from the imperial city to Jiezhou is relatively long.
50 million taels is enough to corrupt the officialdom of Jiezhou, plus Yuan Sanqu is a huge corruption. Gao Ning and Yuan Sanqu hit it off, one was in charge of the place, the other was in charge of the upper level, and the two of them fooled around together, and they lost 50 million taels.
Wen Mao is a man with brains and courage, he wants to let the Sanshan Walled City lie down and make money, so he went to Gao Ning.
Gao Ning concealed 30 million taels of spars, and the remaining 50 million taels took away 20 million taels, which was inseparable from Wen Mao and the Sanshan Walled City.
Bandits are an excuse, if anyone dares to exterminate the Sanshan Walled City, they will not be able to get along with the entire Jiezhou officialdom. What about 20 million taels, gone, who willing? As for the finances of the imperial court, hehe...... Who cares?
On the way to the imperial court, 50 million taels were robbed by bandits. The officials of Jiezhou and the local army fought desperately, barely holding on to 30 million taels.
The imperial court ordered the suppression of bandits, there were soldiers in Jiezhou, and the combat effectiveness of the army was sufficient, but none of the people above wanted to exterminate the Sanshan Walled City. So the generals made all kinds of strange marches, ventilated in advance, and it was strange that they could be exterminated.
Mu Fan and Zhao Jianyan thought that there were some people in Jiezhou who reported to the bandits, but they didn't expect that this was a common phenomenon.
Since coming to Jiezhou, Huanong has not been idle for a moment, he has investigated in many ways, from ordinary people to big families, and has a good opinion of Gao Ning. There are even some ordinary people who build a shrine for Gaoning and worship it day and night.
Zhao Jianyan and Mu Fan were at a loss, and Huanong's investigation these days found that the tone of small and medium-sized forces seemed to be stricter than before. Investigations from all sides show that Gao Ning is a good official, and he is the kind of good official that is very rare.
While Zhao Jianyan continued to investigate the bandits and the Jiezhou officialdom, their investigation gradually attracted the attention of some people......
