"Hello, I want to meet the general manager of Huasheng Commercial Bank." Luo Hengsen took out her ID and glanced at the foreigner. Seeing that he was the detective of the Public Security Department, she led them to the general manager's office on the second floor.
After opening the door, the foreign secretary said slowly: "It's strange that Mr. Hua was still in the office this morning, why did he suddenly disappear?"
"It's okay, we just came to ask Mr. Hua." As expected, in his opinion, Luo Shiniang would definitely come to Huasheng Commercial Bank after getting the news about Guan Yin. Right now, this commercial bank is empty. , I am afraid that the people have been emptied out a long time ago, and there is a high probability that they went to Broken Island to dig for official silver.
"Since he's not here, we'll go back first. If Mr. Hua comes back, remember to call this number and notify us to come here." After saying that, Luo Hengsen took Yue Guanchao out of the business and got into the car.
"How's it going?" Song Siyuan saw them coming up from the back row and asked anxiously. Luo Hengsen sighed and said: "As we guessed, Luo Shiniang did come to Huasheng Commercial Bank, and she is probably poaching official silver now."
"Then since we all know the situation, why don't we seal up Huasheng Commercial Bank? In this way, Huasheng Commercial Bank will be under your control." Before Song Siyuan finished speaking, Luo Hengsen chewed his teeth and said: "Miss Song, you Do you know where this place is?"
"Beicheng Port District!" Song Siyuan blinked and immediately realized the problem: "You mean, Huasheng Commercial Bank has deep connections and cannot be easily touched." Luo Hengsen nodded and said, "Yes, I told you yesterday, When Hunan Province opened its ports, the government hired foreigners to explore the Canal Canal and provide construction plans and technical details. At that time, Yueyang was very poor. All the equipment was sent directly from the West by their company, and everything from the drawings to the construction was theirs. participate."
"Do you think these foreigners will help the Yueyang government for no reason?" Luo Hengsen lowered his voice and explained: "Their request is that after Yueyang opens as a port, any construction involving factories, commercial buildings, docks, buildings, and parks will be They all have to use their company’s plan.”
"It has been twenty years since Yueyang opened as a port. Every brick and tile of the construction plan of this Beicheng port boundary came from this company. If you think about it, this trading company has a close relationship with Yueyang Political Yuan. We rashly put them If we control it, we probably won't get any advantage from the Political Yuan." Yue Guanchao chewed his teeth and said: "No, what do you officials think? Huasheng Trading Company has indeed controlled Huihetang. Isn't that enough? To make them vigilant? Isn't this a sure thing?" Song Siyuan shook her head and retorted: "Official circles never pay attention to right and wrong, only interests. Huasheng Commercial Bank obviously has an interest entanglement with Yueyang officialdom. Now, there is no such thing. What conclusive evidence can prove that Huihetang did kill so many people?" Luo Hengsen said in words: "What we know is not convenient to tell the Political Yuan. So, the suspicion of Huihetang's murder is always just a suspicion, and there cannot be anything. Evidence, if you think about it, even Huihetang’s murder suspicion has not been finalized, let alone Huasheng Trading Company.”
"Now is not the time to break up. The matter involving Fulu's death has already shown the seriousness of the problem. If Huasheng Commercial Bank also knew that Fulu was going to die and they were involved, then the facts would become more subtle."
"Such a subtle method?" Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan became curious and urged him to continue. Luo Hengsen turned his head and continued to explain: "Fulu's official connections are very rich. If you calculate carefully, most of the officials in the Yueyang Political Yuan were his disciples in the old days. In this case, they dealt with the Yueyang Trading Company. Sixty percent of the people are likely to be Fulu's old friends."
"Huasheng Commercial Bank knew clearly that Huihetang wanted to kill Fu Lu, but still did not give any warning to the officialdom. This shows that they also hope that Fu Lu will die." When he mentioned this, he kept tapping the information in his hand, and his eyes changed. De became suspicious: "The question is, doesn't Huasheng Trading Company know who Fulu is? Once Fulu dies, it is equivalent to offending the officials of Yueyang. By doing this, aren't they shooting themselves in the foot?"
"I have a hunch!" He paused and his tone became mysterious: "Yueyang officialdom acquiesced in Fulu's death. Huasheng Trading Company probably just replaced the officialdom and let Fulu die in some accident. It would be best if the real murderer was found. , and there is no way to find out what they did, so the most appropriate thing is to do it as a vendetta."
"Yeah, yeah, the more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes." Yue Guanchao looked at Luo Hengsen: "Then you were still saying just now that Fulu has connections in the officialdom, and his old disciples will get together to harm him?" Luo Hengsen asked He nodded: "We just said that there is only profit and no right and wrong in officialdom. Why do you think Fu Lu has connections? I'm afraid it depends on the handles and secrets. When he was the governor, he probably collected the handles of officials and cooperated with his disciples. Old relationships also attracted some officials." Fulu collected these clues, probably just to pave the way for his future official career, so that he could make further progress.
However, he never expected that the emperor would abdicate, let alone that the overcrowding in the early Republic of China would be so intense that he would no longer have a place in the officialdom.
Even if these handles and accusations were not used by him, they still helped him avoid the civil turmoil in the city. The reason why the political Yuan found someone to protect him may not be because they were afraid of the accusations in his hands.
As the old saying goes, water can carry a boat or capsize it. These secrets will indeed protect him from civil strife and allow him to live in peace and quiet for the rest of his life. However, going too far is not enough.
Over the years, Fulu has relied on these crimes to seek a lot of personal gains for his family. Even if he has not served as the governor of Yueyang, he is actually equivalent to the powerful elder behind Yueyang. Not only can he influence Yueyang's decision-making, he can even... Put an incompetent person in some important position.
Director Zhao of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is an example of this. He considers himself to be Fulu's protégé, but he has only met Fulu a few times at dinner parties. If he hadn't given Fulu a hundred small goldfish, how could he have gotten away from him? Ordinary section members are directly promoted to chief.
The wool comes from the sheep. Since Mr. Zhao spent a hundred small goldfish to buy an official position, he must make enough profits from other places to make up for his losses.
There are many such examples. Most of the people around Fulu are officials who are not enterprising and only seek profit. These people have paid so much for being an official. Once they get what they want, they will work harder to get it back.
For Fulu, while he used his existing connections to obtain huge profits, these people who sold their offices and did things became his new connections because he had the handle. If necessary, he would definitely be able to recruit from new connections. Profit from it.
