Chapter 147: Arresting People

For Qi Xuansu, there was no more resistance at this time, so he naturally had to attack in an all-out manner.

Qi Xuansu convened an ad hoc meeting.

Qi Xuansu sat in the middle, with Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei, and Chen Jiangou on his left, and Li Changge, Li Zhuyu, and Lu Yuting on his right.

Yao Pei was the first to report. Ruan Fengjue, who was under her, had obtained some evidence about Sun Yaozhen through Zhao Changliu, Sun Yaozhen's lover, which could prove that Sun Yaozhen was indeed involved in the business of the Nanyang United Trading Company. If necessary, Sun Yaozhen could be arrested directly.

However, Lin Qingcheng was very stubborn and refused to confess. He did not admit that he had colluded with the Goddess Society, and shouted that he was wronged. Instead, he said that the people from the Goddess Society were slandering him.

This was also reasonable. Collaboration with the enemy was a capital crime, and Lin Qingcheng had to grit his teeth and resist no matter what.

Regarding Lu Yuting's audit, many problems were indeed found. In addition to the slave trade and other issues, there were also problems of tax evasion, and the amount was huge. This is not the worst. The worst is the interest exchange between Nanyang United Trade Company and Shibo Hall. Although the accounts of Nanyang United Trade Company are well done, it cannot be said that they are perfect, but they are also watertight. However, many accounts have to be settled in Nanyang General Office of Taiping Money House. Nanyang General Office has already turned to Qi Xuansu. With their cooperation, it is still impossible to hide.

In the past, when Qi Xuansu was in charge, he had to personally read the files, find evidence, and even personally interrogate the prisoners. Now it is different. Qi Xuansu is the chief deputy house owner. He mainly grasps the general direction and makes decisions. These things can be done by the people below. He does not need to do everything himself. He just needs to know the final result.

According to the results found by Lu Yuting now, this matter is not complicated. Eleven large ships sank last year. These ships are all ships of Shibo Hall. Shibo Hall has a normal loss quota every year, including shipwrecks, pirates, etc. Fighting pirates is one thing, and losses are another. So these eleven sunken ships are reported in normal losses. In fact, these eleven ships did not sink, but were transferred to the Nanyang United Trade Company, which was equivalent to the Nanyang United Trade Company picking up the ships and cargo for free, with no cost and only pure profit.

The ship of the Shibo Hall branch "sank", and there were many shipyards in Nanyang to build new ships, so they were naturally built on the spot. These shipyards are also the industry of the Nanyang United Trade Company. The price of a ship when it was delivered was more than twice the cost price, or simply the "sunken ship" was painted and then sold to the Shibo Hall.

This item alone made a profit of more than one million Taiping money.

This was last year. Over the years, the Taoist sect has lost more than 10 million Taiping money.

Such a big move must involve all aspects inside and outside, and it is not something that a Nanyang United Trade Company can do. People from the Daofu and Shibo Hall are involved. Only with the cooperation of the three parties can it be concealed.

This is also the reason why the Wang family can't cut off all ties. You said you have no relationship with the Nanyang United Trade Company, but the Daofu cannot say that it has no relationship. Chen Shuhua ran away, and the former deputy deputy palace master was also arrested. It is impossible to say that Lan Da Zhenren is the mastermind behind the scenes. This statement must be believed by someone.

And the Shibo Hall, this is the key to the cooperation of the three parties. If the Shibo Hall holds on to it, then the two sides will have no choice. They can't play the role of pirates to rob the Shibo Hall's big ship.

The Borneo Daofu has three assistants sent by Yujing Jiutang. The assistant of Shibo Hall is named Lin Tianhe, who is Wang Jiaoyan's Taoist partner.

Wang Jiaoyan and Lin Tianhe met in the upper palace of Wanxiang Taoist Palace. However, after Wang Jiaoyan was promoted to the fourth-rank priest, he did not seek any position, but became a wandering Taoist priest. Lin Tianhe entered the Shibo Hall as the principal, and then steadily climbed up, and was finally sent to the Borneo Daofu as the assistant of the branch hall, and formed a Taoist partner with Wang Jiaoyan. In this process, there were obvious traces of the Wang family behind the scenes.

In this way, this line was connected.

Lin Tianhe, the assistant of Shibo Hall, was deeply involved in it and was a key figure in this case. His Taoist partner Wang Jiaoyan was one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of Nanyang United Trading Company.

The couple has been playing the trick of transferring money from the left hand to the right hand for many years. Although Lin Tianhe is the assistant of Shibo Hall, in charge of the Borneo branch of Shibo Hall, and can dominate all kinds of trade exchanges of Shibo Hall branch, it does not mean that the branch hall is his private property. It is the public property of Taoism. But if the things of Shibo Hall are transferred to Nanyang United Trading Company, they will be their own things. You have it and I have it all.

In terms of interests, Lin Tianhe and Wang Jiaoyan are Taoist partners, and he also has a share in the Nanyang United Trade Company. In terms of affection, not to mention the love between husband and wife, it was Wang Jiaohe who promoted him and made him rise all the way to become the assistant of the Shibo Hall, the same position as the deputy hall master, leading the Nanyang trade. Lin Tianhe naturally has to repay the favor. It is said that the grace of rebirth, the scholar will die for the confidant, and Lin Tianhe must of course work diligently to dig out the corners of the Shibo Hall for Wang Jiaohe.

Regarding Lin Tianhe, Chen Jiangou compiled a file for Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu roughly read it.

Before meeting Wang Jiaoyan, he was an ordinary fourth-grade Taoist priest. Although the grade seemed high, he had no real power and could not be compared with the fourth-grade deputy hall master at all. The reason for this is that Lin Tianhe's family does not support him. The Lin family is a large family in the southeast. The Queen of Heaven is from this family, as well as Lin Lingsu, Lin Yuanmiao, etc. Lin Tianhe's mother is from the Zheng family, which is the Zheng family that competed with the Wang family back then.

Under such circumstances, Lin Tianhe should have risen to the top, but the family was not optimistic about Lin Tianhe's career and did not support him very much. They preferred to let him run the family business. This led to Lin Tianhe's grade being promoted step by step, but his position was not. I always hang out at Qingshui Yamen. At this point, I don't know how many people are envious of Qi Xuansu. His job promotion is so fast that he can't even keep up with the grade, because there are restrictions on grade, but there are no restrictions on positions, and every position has real power. To put it bluntly, if you don’t have power, how can you achieve results? This is a positive cycle.

Years of being on the bench made Lin Tianhe, who was proficient in business, resentful and felt that his talents were not being recognized. The appearance of Wang Jiaoyan undoubtedly changed Lin Tianhe's destiny. The Wang family can abandon all bottom lines.

It should be said that although the other major families cannot represent justice, they will not look so ugly. Good and bad really come from comparison.

The big case in Jiangnan was a big fuss, but because the three paths there were interfering with each other, there was me among you, and you among me. In fact, no one dared to go too far, but was restricted. This is also the reason why major cases often arise. To put it bluntly, the three parties are trying to undermine each other, which brings things to the surface.

It's different in Borneo. One family is the only one, and they can do whatever they want. The whole continent unites to deceive Jinque. They are really united and monolithic. The matter has always been at the bottom of the sea. Outsiders will never know about it, and they think it is peaceful. nothing.

After listening to all the reports, Qi Xuansu said: "Since the evidence is conclusive, we can arrest people. The main targets are: Lin Tianhe, Wang Jiaoyan, Sun Jiaofeng, and Sun Yaozhen. Let's divide the work. Lin Tianhe belongs to Jinque The direct assistant branch manager is not within the jurisdiction of the Taoist government, so it is more appropriate for Fengxian Hall to step in, so the deputy hall master Suyi will be in charge."

Yao Pei didn't speak, just nodded.

Qi Xuansu continued: "Sun Jiaofeng is a wandering Taoist priest, but after all he is a member of the Taoist sect. He is half a member of the Taoist sect and half an outsider. Fengxian Hall is not suitable. It is better for Beichen Hall to come forward and let the deputy head of Yongyan Taoism be in charge. ”

Li Changge nodded in agreement.

Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu again: "Wang Jiaoyan's situation is similar to that of Sun Jiaofeng. They are both wandering Taoist priests. However, the case where Wang Jiaoyan is involved in the Lingnan Taoist government is handled by Deputy Hall Master Qingxiao."

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Don't worry."

Qi Xuansu looked at Li Zhuyu: "I made a promise in public to find out the truth within a month and give an explanation to everyone in Lion City. The one-month period is not long or short, and we must step up to break through Lin Qingcheng. There is Deputy Hall Master Lao Danjin.”

"Danjin" is the epitome of Li Zhuyu. "Zhu" means sincerity and loyalty, and "yu" means beauty. It comes from "Yujin" in "Yili". Take one word for each, and it means "Yujin". Take "Danjin" as the epitome.

Li Zhuyu responded in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Chief Qi."

Qi Xuansu finally said to Chen Jianchou: "Compared with these people, Sun Yaozhen is still a little behind. There is no need to bother a deputy hall master to come out personally. Let Chief Han go."

Han Yongfeng was not present at this time, so Chen Jianchou naturally conveyed the message on his behalf.

Chen Jianchou wrote it down.

Qi Xuansu made this arrangement with the intention of pushing the Zhang family, Yao family and Li family to the front and letting others arrest these people. I don't know how big of a disturbance it will cause. They may not be able to arrest them yet, but if it is replaced by these three families Coming forward is another matter.

Even if these people heard the news and hid, with the help of "Heavenly Court" and the information from Ziguang Society and Beichen Hall, it would not be difficult to find them.

As for Sun Heyu relying on his old age to sell his old age, these people will not take it seriously. Li Tianzhen's words are very useful here. You might as well talk to the national master directly, or the earth master, or you can also talk to the heavenly master, don't Tell us.

Qi Xuansu finally said: "After we capture the people, we will bring them all to the Lion City, including Xu Youyi and Sun Yaoping, and arrange them in the military camp of the Nanting Protectorate. They will be closely guarded and interrogated separately. If there are no other objections, that's it. "

At this moment, Xie Jiaofeng walked in quickly, bowed next to Qi Xuansu and whispered: "Chief, Wang Danqing is here and wants to apologize to you."

Qi Xuansu raised his eyebrows: "I didn't go to him, but he took the initiative to come to the door. It's too late to apologize now. Just say that I am very busy and have no time."

Xie Jiaofeng was about to leave.

Qi Xuansu changed his mind again: "Forget it, let's meet him and see what he has to say. You arrange for him to stay at the Taiping Inn, and I will go see him later."

Xie Jiaofeng took the order and left.
