how to say? ! Yang Qingyuan suddenly felt that this dude was still a sensible person and had a very clear understanding of himself!
"So you don't have to ask me about water transportation! Uh! You ask me? I don't know either!?" Liu Jibai burped as he spoke, "By the way, where did you buy these buns?! Really? Delicious! I have never eaten such delicious buns!”
Liu Jibai even found a straw to pick his teeth, showing no pretentiousness of a playboy.
When Yang Qingyuan saw the arrogant Liu Jibai, he already had concerns in his heart.
"I know you didn't attack Dali Temple on purpose, so I gave you a lighter sentence and fined you three hundred taels of silver! I'll notify Mr. Liu later and take you back."
"ah?!"
Liu Ji was dumbfounded, so the fine didn't matter, but it would be terrible to inform his father. His butt had just been taken care of by the board of Dali Temple. If it was taken care of by his father's family method again, Liu Jibai simply did not dare to think too much about this miserable scene.
Yang Qingyuan had no expression on his face but was already happy in his heart. What the dandy was most afraid of was indeed complaining to his parents.
He and Liu Bin, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, were ministers in the same palace. When he complained, Liu Bin was immediately embarrassed. Who would this anger be directed at in the end?
Liu Jibai hesitated for a long time, "Master Yang, if you don't want to fine me more money, don't tell my father."
"Huh??!" Yang Qingyuan pretended to be questioning, "If you don't inform your father, Mr. Liu, how are you going to recover from your injury??"
Yang Qingyuan's "unintentional" words woke up Liu Jibai. Even if he didn't notify his father, how would he explain the injury on his butt when he got home? With his father's eyesight, he would probably be able to tell at a glance that it was a bruise. Even though he was tortured with a cane, he still had to deal with family violence in the end.
Liu Bin was a standard Confucian disciple with strict family rules, and Liu Jibai did not dare to stay out at night.
You can't tell your father that you should handle official business at Caoyun Yamen! No one believes this! ?
Just as Liu Jibai was thinking, he suddenly saw Yang Qingyuan next to him, and suddenly had an idea.
If Mr. Yang is allowed to send a message to his father, saying that he is assisting in handling the case, then he doesn't have to go home for the time being. He will wait until the injury is better in two days before going back, without anyone noticing.
Thinking of this, Liu Jibai already felt that his plan was perfect and only needed a little cooperation from the Prime Minister of Dali Temple in front of him.
"Master Yang!?"
"Huh?!" Seeing Liu Jibai's sullen eyes, Yang Qingyuan knew that the fish had taken the bait.
"Um, do you need the cooperation of the Water Transport Department in your investigation?"
Yang Qingyuan nodded.
"Then come to me! I am the head of the overseas office of the Water Transport Department! Can I cooperate with you?!"
Yang Qingyuan's eyes were half-smiling, "But don't you only know how to stamp?!"
"Uh!!" Liu Jibai was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded, "But I am the head of the Water Transportation Department after all. If you want to take me there, wouldn't it be more legitimate to do things? I beg you! Let me come with you. Get involved in this case! When I was a student, I swore that I would never stand against evil!!!"
At this moment, Liu Jibai seemed to be shining with the light of justice.
Although Liu Jibai is uneducated, he is very smart.
Yang Qingyuan nodded, "Okay! Since you said so, I will send a letter to Mr. Liu, saying that you are here to help handle the case!"
Liu Jibai was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Yang! From today on, I will be yours. What the hell! What kind of horse?! What?!"
Liu Jibaigang just wanted to flatter him, but suddenly he realized that he was uneducated and couldn't even flatter him!
"The horse follows his lead."
"Yes! Master Yang is so knowledgeable!"
When the book comes to use, I will regret it less! Liu Jibai found that people should read more, otherwise they would even use the wrong words to flatter them.
"Okay! Then I will release your two attendants. You can find a room to rest for a while and have someone give you some medicine! You will still be needed by then!"
After speaking, Yang Qingyuan opened the cell door and called on the police to release Liu Jibai's attendants as well!
Then Yang Qingyuan returned to the study room of Dali Temple, and Di Zhiyuan and others were still sorting out the ledgers brought back by Ye Jianhan.
"Sir! This is shocking!" Di Zhiyuan said this when he saw Yang Qingyuan, "No matter what role the Cao Gang played in this case, after the case is completed, the Cao Gang must be rectified!"
Di Zhiyuan handed the bill in his hand to Yang Qingyuan. Yang Qingyuan took a look at it and his face darkened slightly.
Good guy, just in the capital alone, Caogang can squeeze out about 1,500 taels from porters, boatmen, and trackers every day. One month is 45,000 taels, and one year is 540,000 taels. This amount is more than a county's tax revenue.
The world's shipping is all controlled by the Caobang. I originally thought that the Caobang was just an inconspicuous middleman, but I didn't expect that this middleman would eat such a big piece of fat.
This is just the city of Shendu, Caogang's business is spread all over the world. How much people's wealth and anointment have been plundered from this, and how many people are involved.
"Let's note this for now. If Caobang was really involved in the previous epidemic, then we would naturally have a reason to deal with him!"
"Besides these, have you discovered anything else!?"
Di Zhiyuan pointed to a bunch of numbers on the manuscript paper in Yang Qingyuan's hand and said, "Sir, please see, the business under the name of the An family has hired porters and a large number of ships to the Caogang many times in the past two months."
Yang Qingyuan immediately knew what Di Zhiyuan had discovered. The An family had its own merchant ships. If the cargo volume only increased on a small scale, there would be no need to hire such large-scale porters and ships.
This shows that Anjia does have a large amount of goods to transport in a short period of time.
Di Zhiyuan suddenly thought of something, "Sir, do you think Li Zhong will know!?"
Hearing Di Zhiyuan's reminder, Yang Qingyuan's eyes lit up. Li Bailiang was the largest shipping dealer in Shendu. If there was a large amount of cargo to be transported, Li Bailiang would be the first one to think of him. As Li Zhong is the chief steward of the Li Mansion, 80% of the Li Mansion's business must pass through his hands. Maybe he will know something!
The two people immediately rushed to the cell where Li Zhong was detained.
"Li Zhong! Let me ask you! Has the An family done business with you in recent months?!"
Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, wondering why the two adults from Dali Temple suddenly jumped from the murder case of Li Mansion to the business of Li Mansion and An family.
"The An family that Mr. Yang is talking about is the family of Mr. An Shigeng'an, the richest man in the capital." Although he didn't know why, Li Zhong still answered honestly.
"yes!"
Li Zhong shook his head, "We have almost no business dealings with the An family."
Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan looked at each other. Did they guess wrong? !
"but!?……"
The last thing about Li Zhong made Yang Qingyuan slightly annoyed. Can't he stop breathing heavily when he speaks? ! ! !
"But it seems that the An family wanted to cooperate with our Li family's fleet before!?"
Di Zhiyuan asked, "About when?!"
Li Zhong frowned and tried his best to recall: "I can't remember the exact time, but it was about half a year ago!?"
"Oh! That's right! After that, Mr. An also invited my father... and Li Bailiang to the banquet!" When talking about Li Bailiang, Li Zhong still hesitated, and his father still didn't shout out in the end.
"Oh?! What do you mean?!" This harvest was obviously beyond Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan's expectations.
Unexpectedly, An Shigeng had come into contact with Li Bailiang, and the time was very sensitive.
half year ago!
Li Afu entered the Li Mansion half a year ago. It was also half a year ago that Li Bailiang asked Mrs. Li to borrow seeds from Li Afu and the others. Even Li Zhong's mentality began to change half a year ago.
When asked what was the reason for An Shigeng's banquet with Li Bailiang, Li Zhong also shook his head, "I don't know about this. The only person who accompanied him to the banquet was the enshrinement of the nursing home at that time, Daxia Li of Fuhaiquan! He didn't bring any Get on the villain!"
Although Li Dingbo and Yang Qingyuan of the Sea-shaking Fist are in the government and the public, they are from Wuzhong after all, and they have heard of this person's name. The power of one fist is astonishing, and it is rumored that it has overwhelming power. Although it is exaggerated, this person is indeed a real master of the Yuan Hua realm.
Li Dingbo was originally a knight-errant. He accidentally obtained a secret book in Poyang Lake. After practicing hard, he entered the realm of Yuanhua and became a master. Unexpectedly, he was worshiped by Li Bailiang.
"There's another thing that happened the next day!"
Di Zhiyuan asked: "What's the matter?!"
"On the second day, Li Bailiang told me not to take any business from the An family from now on. Those who have already cooperated with me will be cut off immediately."
When Yang and Di heard Li Zhong's words, they immediately knew that there was definitely an irreconcilable conflict between An Shigeng and Li Bailiang that day.
"What about Li Dingbo? Why did we never meet him when we entered the government to investigate the case!?"
Li Zhong explained, "Actually, Daxia Li has been away from home three months ago. I originally arranged Daxia Li's daily life, but three months ago, Daxia Li suddenly disappeared!"
Yang Qingyuan could roughly guess that An Shigeng or An Yunshan should have succeeded and got rid of Li Dingbo.
Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan inquired about some more details, but when they saw no new gains, they stopped asking.
"Master Yang, do you dare to ask me a question?! This villain's case?!"
Yang Qingyuan glanced at Li Zhong, "I have written to the Ministry of Punishment and the Central Committee of the Cabinet, requesting a stay of execution until the case is clarified before re-conviction!"
When Li Zhong heard that he would not die for the time being, his eyes suddenly lit up and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously to Di Zhiyuan and Yang Qingyuan.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
Yang Qingyuan did not stop him and turned around and left the death row. Although there was another hidden secret in Li Bailiang's case, Li Zhong killed his own father. Such a person would not be favored by anyone anyway.
As soon as he walked out of the death row, Yang Qingyuan saw a white shadow running into his arms.
It’s none other than Dali Temple’s number one favorite—Xiao Bai!
"Meow!" Xiao Bai, who had a sweet voice, cried out, and then a black shadow also flew over. It was Xiao Hei, the number one tracking expert in Dali Temple.
"Woof! Woof!"
Speaking of which, apart from Lao Xin, these two are the oldest employees of Dali Temple, and are older than Yang Qingyuan.
Just when Yang Qingyuan was playing with the cat, the kitten in his arms suddenly tensed up and stared at the top of the Dali Temple. Amethyst's eyes seemed to have brilliance flowing, and the little black nose on the side sniffed slightly and began to look towards the same place. Direction kept barking.
Yang Qingyuan looked at where Xiaobai's eyes were, and his eyes were clear.
A black figure was standing on the roof of Dali Temple.
“Dali Temple is really busy these days!”
Di Zhiyuan suddenly heard Yang Qingyuan's meaningless words and was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask, Yang Qingyuan handed Xiaobai in his arms to him.
"Zhiyuan, thank you for your hard work!"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Qingyuan's figure seemed to turn into a wisp of smoke and jumped up.
