Chapter 304: Identifying Identity

In fact, Fang Jiuting was not a complete stranger to Yang Xiu.

After all, Yang Xiu was an old man from the first emperor's mansion, and after the first emperor ascended the throne, his own people became the knife in the hands of the first emperor.

A lot of private affairs are handled by his own people, and Yang Xiu, as a close minister of the first emperor, also has his own handiwork for many things.

And many things, even Yang Xiu is behind him, responsible for making suggestions, which can be said to be exhaustive, and the means are endless.

For Yang Xiu, Fang Jiuting also worked with him for a while, remembering that it was because of the Jiangnan tax matter, but he had a very unforgettable experience.

Taxation has always been a difficult thing, and those accounts are very vague, and sometimes it is impossible to explain clearly.

After all, those records written in the accounts are written by people, and many taxes cannot be sorted out.

It's not just one person, it's a different whole, different forces, and people in various positions, and the layers of taxes are equivalent to layers of exploitation.

The geese pluck their feathers, and the beasts leave their skins.

This sentence is the most appropriate way to describe it.

In the end, the accounts cannot be seen on the surface, but the inside is a mess of bad debts, and it is impossible to sort out the clues.

Those people and those forces have deep roots, and officials and businessmen in all aspects collude to control all positions meticulously, and there is no trace of gaps.

In the past, people were sent many times to investigate and deal with the issue of taxation, and those people who were selected were also good officials who kept themselves clean and law-abiding.

But when I got there, in a few months, or a few years, I slowly changed, and I went along with those people, and I fell into it, and I didn't have the original intention.

However, there were also those who persevered, but when those people saw that the bribery and profit could not be lured, they poisoned them and secretly persecuted those officials.

The first emperor was furious, sent Yang Xiu to make a move, and removed more than 100 elites from the detective division to follow, and that time, there happened to be Fang Jiuting.

Because Fang Jiuting is steady, Fang Jiuting is responsible for the contact with Yang Xiu.

It can be said that Fang Jiuting witnessed the whole process of Yang Xiu's handling of that matter, so he was even more impressed by his scheming methods.

The iron plate made Yang Xiu smash it open, crushed it, and tore those interest nets little by little, and recovered seventy percent of the taxes.

Don't underestimate the seventy percent tax, if you do the math, there are a total of eight million taels, which is not shocking.

Moreover, it was still more than a year of taxation, and after Yang Xiu's integration, the subsequent taxes have nearly doubled, bringing huge benefits to the treasury.

The whole action, which was carried out in the dark, was also thrilling.

Yang Xiu maneuvered around all forces and was at ease, at that time, he was not as important as he is now, and most people just thought that he was relying on the first emperor to ascend to the throne and was just a simple cronie.

Therefore, they tried their best to win over Yang Xiu, and the money and beauties were continuously sent to Yang Xiu's mansion.

As for Yang Xiu, he maintained an appropriate degree, some accepted, and some refused, making the appearance of a literati and inkman, as if he didn't care about money, but only recognized Mobao poems and books.

For those people, as long as they have preferences, this also means that he has flaws, as long as he starts from here, it is not a hand-to-hand catch, and he is not afraid that he will not go into the water.

And Yang Xiu is also friendly with all parties, but in secret, he is provoking the relationship between different forces, and he doesn't say it directly, just pretending to reveal some news inadvertently.

In Fang Jiuting's opinion, there is even an obvious problem, but those people can't see it, or they are fans of the authorities, and bystanders are clear!

When there is a foreign enemy between the parties, it is an extraordinary unity.

But if there is no external threat, then it will be the time for them to fight for themselves.

Therefore, Yang Xiu unconsciously lowered their vigilance to the lowest point, and even some forces thought that they had drawn Yang Xiu to themselves.

This kind of thing, every time I think about it, I feel funny, Yang Xiu can be said to have played them around.

In the end, it took a total of half a year to investigate the situation of all parties before finally closing the net.

On that occasion, 5,000 sergeants even dropped from out of town, in order to wipe them out.

If you don't move, it's just that, and it's amazing.

In just a few days, sixty percent of the personnel were taken, and as for the others, it was not that they couldn't, but that they couldn't.

If everyone deals with it, it will be paralyzed, and the gains outweigh the losses, but they also need to take care of some big families, those people, if the fish die and the net is broken, it is not worth it.

Anyway, the purpose has been achieved, and the rest is no longer important.

During those times, Fang Jiuting often contacted Yang Xiu, and many things needed to be investigated and handled by the Detective Division, so most of the things could not be hidden from Fang Jiuting.

In this way, he knows even more that Yang Xiu is terrible, and he was still staggered with you at the last moment, calling him a brother.

The next moment, he had already pulled out a knife and stabbed someone, but he was still smiling and looking good for you.

Well, this kind of person is terrible!

Although he had not been with Yang Xiu for a long time, in Fang Jiuting's heart, he had already been classified as a very dangerous person.

Not by force, but in the calculation of the human heart, like a man's head, driven by thoughts.

Fang Jiuting also imagined that if he was his enemy, how would he do it.

Thinking about it, only get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a big disaster.

This mission was originally to escort Yang Xiu back to his hometown, because although he had withdrawn from officialdom, the people he offended and the problems left behind were all troubles.

There must be people who don't want him to live, but I didn't expect those people to be so heartbroken, they didn't care about anything at all, they just wanted to take Yang Xiu's life.

In fact, Fang Jiuting had already released the news of the Detective Division, just to tell those people that Yang Xiu's safety was protected by us.

This is also a piece of news, the detective department is ordered by the imperial power and His Majesty, which means that Yang Xiu's life is protected by His Majesty.

As soon as the sign of the Detective Division is lit, ninety percent of the people will retreat, after all, the prestige of the Detective Division can be killed, and as a secret agency of the imperial court, the things handled by all parties make all parties feel uneasy.

Everywhere, who is not afraid of being targeted by the detective department.

However, there are still people who are not dead, and they are all hidden in the shadows, like a poisonous snake, and they don't know when they will come out and bite it.

Moreover, Yang Xiu's idea was also to tell himself and others that he had returned to his hometown well, but he suddenly changed his course and came here to participate in some martial arts conference.

Although Yang Xiu has practiced a few moves, his strength, he can beat him ten by taking out one of his subordinates, so I really don't know what his purpose is.

But with his usual city government and behavior, this time it must not be a whim, there must be a deep purpose, but he hasn't thought of it yet.

It's really difficult, and now the situation here can be described as a mixture of dragons and snakes, and there are many masters.

Moreover, this martial arts conference involves many aspects, in such a complex situation, Yang Xiu can still run here, not in a hurry, is there some ulterior secret?

Just an hour ago, I received a flying pigeon summons, but it only said that I would protect Yang Xiu's safety, and I would leave the rest alone.

This couldn't help but make Fang Jiuting wonder in his heart, how many layers of deep meaning did there have in this?

Or, Yang Xiu was ordered to come to do something, and His Majesty has a special explanation for him, well, the more you think about it, the more likely it is.

Thinking of this, Fang Jiuting suddenly raised his head, and was silent in his heart, thinking that he had guessed the truth.

Makes sense.

However, at this moment, Fang Jiuting's ears moved, his eyes lowered, but there was a flash of light.

There's someone out there!

Just now, Fang Jiuting felt an aura, although it was quickly disguised, however, Fang Jiuting believed that it was not his illusion.

The person is just outside the window, and the person who comes must be a master, and he can avoid the eyes and ears around him and find this place, and it seems that he has been hiding for a long time, and he is not even aware of it.

Master!

Fang Jiuting remained silent and continued to wipe the umbrella surface, as if he was immersed in it and didn't find it.

In this way, after another cup of tea, Fang Jiuting put down the black umbrella, got up slowly, as if he was thirsty, reached out to a glass of water, and wanted to drink.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Fang Jiuting's hand shook, and the tea suddenly shot away, and then the teacup turned around, and then it spun out, bursting out with a rapid sound of breaking through the air.

When he flew to the window, he suddenly exploded in the clear space, scattering countless fragments out of the window.

Suddenly, the wooden window was shattered by a thousand holes.

And outside the window, it is naturally Nan Tianyi, who found this place secretly, and does not want to startle the snake, just want to take a look outside now, maybe there will be some surprises.

As soon as Nan Tian reined in his whole body, he hid himself to the extreme, and when he looked in from the window, he saw a man in black sitting there, wiping a black umbrella.

Because from this direction, the man in black was facing the window, so he couldn't see it very clearly, and he saw the man in black sitting there, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After waiting like this for a while, for some reason, the man in black suddenly raised his head, and at this time, Nan Tianyi finally saw this person's appearance clearly.

Immediately, a familiar feeling arose in my heart, this man in black, as if he had seen it somewhere.

After thinking about it for a while, Nan Tianyi thought of who this person was, wasn't this the person on the Dharma field that day, and that umbrella, it wouldn't be wrong, it was him.

Later, I also learned that this man in black is a master of the Imperial Court Detective Department, specializing in dealing with some secret things.

Then what is he doing here, for Yang Xiu, and the purpose is not very clear, with Yang Xiu's attitude, he must know these people.

Then Yang Xiu's identity is worth scrutinizing, and the things inside may be more complicated than he thought.

And just now, because he recognized the identity of the man in black, Nan Tianyi's aura couldn't help but fluctuate, like this, although he calmed down quickly, he suddenly felt a warning in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, the attack of the man in black had arrived.
