Chapter 31 Underestimated
Tang Qingyuan was called to Fengri City early in the morning, and it was already late at night when he came back, his face was covered with frost.
This was the first time Tang Qingyuan was called to reprimand him, and it was also the first time that Jiang Cheng, the Qianhu officer, got so angry at him.
Thinking about it, I feel angry that I was actually sued by someone under my command!
Moreover, dozens of nobles were jointly signed to send a letter to the Qianhu Institute!
What is a letter? Literally! A letter of complaint!
It was the first time that Tang Qingyuan realized that derogatory words such as "disregarding principles", "great talent", and "faint and incompetent" could be applied to himself. On the side of the A flag.
Or it could be said that he, Tang Qingyuan, was hated by Li Bing.
It was like a joke to be sued by his subordinates in front of his boss, but it also made Tang Qingyuan feel a cold sweat in his heart.
A lack of control can make Jiang Cheng's opinion of him Tang Qingyuan drop to the bottom.
What kind of official can you be if you can't even manage your own subordinates?
If it hadn't been directly related to the Black Flag Camp this time, the joint report letter might really make Tang Qingyuan feel overwhelmed.
In the morning, he was called to Qianhu Office of Fengri City by an urgent order, and Jiang Cheng pointed at his nose and scolded him. Cheng just made some inquiries and didn't mention much.
Not mentioning the Black Flag Camp meant that Jiang Cheng hoped that Tang Qingyuan would realize it by himself.
It also shows that in the eyes of Jiang Qianhu, the future of the Black Flag Camp is not yet fully settled.
Throw the Black Flag Camp to Li Bing to step on his feet? Sacrifice Shen Hao to ease the relationship with the other party?
Tang Qingyuan shook his head no. Although he was afraid of the large network behind Li Bing, but if he had to abolish the Black Flag Camp and Shen Hao that he had brought up, it would undoubtedly make him even more embarrassing and lose his prestige.
A sixth-rank official of a hundred households took the initiative to ease the relationship with a mere seventh-rank official? Tang Qingyuan still can't do it, he also has to face.
So there are not many roads ahead of Tang Qingyuan, which is why Jiang Cheng let Tang Qingyuan realize it by himself.
If he was really a fool, Jiang Cheng wouldn't mind changing to another person to sit in Licheng.
The next day Tang Qingyuan went to the office with a sullen face and called Shen Hao over.
Straight to the point, he asked Shen Hao: "To what extent have you grasped the Jiaziqi case?"
Shen Hao hurriedly bowed and replied: "My lord, the main person in the case has been determined. It is Zhang Kui, the new acting chief officer of Yunyang, who has motivation and ability, and Zhang Kui's son is the Xiaoqi of Group A and B. Officer Zhang Hu, it was Zhang Hu who was in charge of the investigation and handling of the "Yunyang Smuggling of Prohibited Materials Case".
In addition, in order to open a breakthrough from Zhang Kui first, our side has not yet launched a formal investigation process, so we chose to dig deep into Zhang Kui's details, and once we have solid evidence, we will take people out, so as not to overwhelm others. "
Tang Qingyuan frowned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Although it is right to be cautious, you should not be too timid. When you should take risks, you should take risks and not have a fluke mind. This is the first case since Qiying, I believe you have the ability to handle it beautifully.
But hurry up.
The fact that you borrowed a large number of A-flag files from the file room has aroused Li Bing’s vigilance. Do you think it’s as simple as letting someone trouble you in the school grounds? He has united dozens of nobles to send a letter to the Qianhu Office of Fengri City. If I hadn't helped you stand in front of Jiang Qianhu, you would be in jail now, do you know? "
Dozens of nobles? The appeal letter went to the Qianhu Office? !
Shen Hao shuddered subconsciously. He realized that he had really underestimated the group of "old soldiers" until now, thinking that he could crush the opponent, but he ignored the strength of their network that surpassed the rules of Licheng.
"This subordinate is panicked, thank you sir for taking care of this subordinate."
Although Shen Hao didn't dare to believe Tang Qingyuan's words of "supporting you", he was sure that Tang Qingyuan was on his side, otherwise he might have been beaten to the end now, right?
Tang Qingyuan waved his hand, his purpose was not to ask Shen Hao to take this favor from him, but to let Shen Hao understand how urgent the situation is now.
"I can help you withstand the pressure once, but there will never be a second time. You should be aware of the weight of the joint letter from dozens of nobles. If this case cannot be made into an iron case and reaches the The expected effect, you and I have no good fruit to eat, you know?"
"This subordinate is clear, this subordinate will definitely not let you down!"
Up to now, there is no good solution. Both Tang Qingyuan and Shen Hao underestimated the intensity of Li Bing's reaction, and suffered a hidden loss. It is equivalent to saying that now he has forced himself onto the single-plank bridge, and he must either pass or fall off. .
"Just mention what you need now, and I will try my best to help you out."
"My lord, I don't have any difficulties in investigating the case for the time being. However, due to the lack of manpower, we can't find anyone to follow up on Li Bing and other key figures. Moreover, these people's cultivation is not low, and ordinary stalking methods are easy to expose, so I would like to ask my lord to help us keep an eye on all the high-level personnel of the Jiazi Banner, and ask them not to leave the area of Licheng for at least ten days."
"That's no problem. My personal guards are all good. It won't be too difficult to keep an eye on Li Bing and the others. However, it's a little troublesome to limit their range of activities. It's okay to find an excuse to get past them once or twice, but if it takes a long time It’s been revealed, you better hurry up.”
After coming out of Tang Qingyuan's office, Shen Hao immediately summoned Wang Jian and asked him to go to Yunyang again in person. Within three days, he would see all the financial details about Zhang Kui.
For this reason, Shen Hao also specially approved Wang Jian's discretionary power to "act cheaply", which means that as long as Wang Jian feels it is necessary, he can use methods beyond ordinary law enforcement to obtain information in Yunyang.
And Shen Hao himself went about his business as usual with a look of "I have nothing to do".
Two days later, Wang Jian came back again. He did not disappoint Shen Hao, and brought back a very important piece of news to Shen Hao: Zhang Kui's brother-in-law ran a rice shop in Yunyang, and this rice shop opened last year. On the eighth day of October, a batch of "Yulin rice" worth 500,000 taels was sent to Licheng, and finally entered the warehouse of a consignment rice store in Licheng, but this consignment rice store was simply a store that only existed in the government records. on the shell.
"I asked my friend to check out the rice shop opened by Zhang Kui's brother-in-law. It is a small shop, and it only sells ordinary rice and miscellaneous grains. There is no "spiritual food" sold in the shop. The "Yulin rice" worth 500,000 taels of silver should be a fake account to conceal the flow of large sums of money in the bank.
Not to mention here in Licheng, the consignment rice store that received the batch of non-existent spiritual food is simply an empty shell. It doesn't even have a store. People from Sanhe.
Later, I asked an acquaintance of my father to go around a long way before I saw the population book of the Licheng Yamen. In the end, who do you think Wu Sanhe is? "
"Hehe, from the Li family?"
"That's not true! Wu Sanhe is the steward of the big house of Li Bing's family."
