Chapter 483 484 [The fox pretends to be the tiger’s power]
"Your Excellency, you must save us and survive!" Upon hearing what Xiang Nan said, Liu Changfu quickly led all the officials to kneel down.
"Hmph! I didn''t want to help you losers, but seeing that you have been so filial all these years, I can''t be too ruthless." Xiang Nan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, whoever makes me kind-hearted, just save You guys once.”
“Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!” Liu Changfu led the crowd to kowtow.
"Everyone, get up." Xiang Nan said again, "The most important thing right now is to fill in the loopholes, fill the gaps, and destroy the evidence. Only in this way can we ensure that everything is foolproof."
"This is a lesson, sir." Liu Changfu quickly smiled and said, "The imperial court also sent two groups of officials to investigate before. We did this and settled everything."
"I know that the imperial envoys returned without success, but you have done everything possible." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“Thank you for the compliment, sir.” Liu Changfu said with a look on his face.
"Fart! You really think I''m praising you!" Xiang Nan''s face darkened and he slapped the table, scaring the officials to their knees again.
"You are really confused. Such a big case has been brought to the capital. The imperial envoy came, but couldn''t find any flaws. Can the emperor believe it? There are no flaws, which is the biggest flaw."
“This…” Liu Changfu didn’t understand for a moment.
"Your Excellency is right. For such a big case, there should be two scapegoats." The master was smart and figured it out quickly.
“Humph, there is finally someone who understands.” Xiang Nan nodded, “Liu Changfu, do you understand now?”
"Yes, sir, I understand, I understand." Liu Changfu said with sweat on his face.
"Huh, you''re not an old fool." Xiang Nan nodded, "But there are too many loopholes in this case. I want to come up with a complete solution as soon as possible. In this way, you can bring all the ledgers immediately so that I can do a comprehensive investigation. Consider.”
"Yes, sir." Liu Changfu was frightened and frightened. He was at a loss for words. He did whatever Xiang Nan said and didn''t dare to resist at all!
…
After a while, Xiang Nan was invited to the study, and a large number of account books were also sent over.
“My lord, I ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous banquet, and I beg your lord to show your respect.” Liu Changfu said with a shy smile.
"Confused! Which is more important, eating or your brain?" Xiang Nan glared at him, "I am busy dealing with the aftermath of you losers, how can I have time to eat and drink? Send all the food to me in the study."
“Hey, it’s your lord!” Liu Changfu was frightened and broke into sweat again, and he agreed repeatedly.
"Wow, Master He, you are so majestic!" Du Xiaoyue saw that Xiang Nan had trained these officials like dogs, and couldn''t help but clapped her hands and said, "But aren''t you afraid that they will suspect that you are fake?"
“Hmph, this bunch of corrupt officials bully good and fear evil, and are fierce and cruel. What they fear most are officials who are bigger than them.” Xiang Nan said with a smile, “The more ferocious you are, the more they dare not doubt you.”
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Fukang An''s power was overwhelming, arrogant and domineering, wantonly exploiting lower-level officials, and being lawless. There was a scoundrel living next door to him. He heard his slaves tell him about him, so he gathered a group of scoundrels and pretended to be Fukang''an and went to various prefectures and counties to blackmail him.
?Wherever he goes, he behaves evilly and extorts money. Because Fukang''an had a bad reputation, all the officials along the way offered bribes and fawned over him, making this gang of scoundrels rich.
??It wasn''t until Tai''an that the prefect of Tai''an was a close confidant of Fukang''an, and he finally saw something was wrong, captured this gang of scoundrels, and solved this strange case.
“I see, these dog officials are really stupid.” Du Xiaoyue said with a smile.
…
Xiang Nan immediately looked through these account books, memorizing them carefully while reading them. He also ate and rested in the study. When Liu Changfu and other Yancheng officials saw this, they couldn''t help but be moved in their hearts, thinking that Mr. He was really kind to them. It is really not easy for these officials to work all night long to protect them.
Therefore, Liu Changfu was particularly flattering and stewed bird''s nest, shark''s fin, ginseng, deer antlers, etc. to give Xiang Nan nourishment.
Xiang Nan naturally didn''t refuse. The past few days of checking and keeping accounts had really exhausted his brain, and he was in need of nourishment.
"Mr. Ji, you have really worked hard." Du Xiaoyue couldn''t help but be moved when she saw that Xiang Nan stayed up all night reading the account book and only took a nap when he was tired.
"Hey, if these corrupt officials are brought to justice as soon as possible, the people in the disaster area will have a better life earlier, and maybe hundreds or thousands of people will die less." Xiang Nan sighed and said, "It has to be hard work. "
"Mr. Ji, what you said is great!" Du Xiaoyue said moved, grateful for Xiang Nan''s broad mind.
"By the way, Xiaoyue, don''t be idle. Help me check on someone." Xiang Nan said again.
"Okay, who are you checking?" Du Xiaoyue immediately stood up and asked after hearing this.
She had been eating and drinking well at the government office for the past two days, but she felt bored because she had nothing to do.
“Sister Bai, the owner of Guangfa Grain Store~” Xiang Nan pointed at the account books and said, “These corrupt officials sold millions of stones of relief grain to this grain store.
??And this small grain store can actually swallow it, obviously it must have a very important background. Xiaoyue, you have to go and check it out for yourself. You must find out the details of this food store. "
“Okay, sir, please lift it up.” Du Xiaoyue said immediately.
…
??While Xiang Nan was investigating the case in Yancheng, Qianlong also quietly came to Yancheng alone, looking for Zheng Laoquan.
He Shen was ordered to stay in Yunzhou Prefecture and was not allowed to leave without permission.
"The emperor went to Yancheng?" He Shen was surprised when he heard Fukangan''s report, "What did he go to Yancheng for?"
From his own point of view, when Qianlong went to Yancheng, he was unaware of it. But in fact, it was not hidden from the spy arranged by Fukang''an.
"That''s right." Fukang''an nodded, and then said worriedly, "Sir, Yancheng is the most severely affected area, with thousands of miles of red land and refugees everywhere. When the emperor goes to Yancheng, once he sees this kind of scene, what kind of corruption and disaster relief will he do? I can’t hide the food payment.”
"I am also worried about this, so we have to rush to Yancheng." He Shen nodded.
"But the emperor has a decree, ordering you and me to stay in Yunzhou. This..." How could Fu Kang''an be?
“Hey, don’t worry, brother, I have an idea.” Heshen smiled and said, “Did you know that the Fourteenth Prince is in Yunzhou Mansion at the moment.”
"I heard it. It is said that he came to visit the mountains and rivers." Fukangan nodded, "Sir, do you want to take advantage of him?"
"Yes, as long as the Fourteenth Prince is taken to Yancheng, you and I can follow him." He Shen said with a smile.
"Why did he go to Yancheng? How can he help us?" Fu Kang''an was a little confused.
"He went to assassinate the emperor, and we went to rescue him." He Shen sneered.
As soon as Fukangan thought about it, he also sneered.
