Chapter 24: Meeting Ahan Again

Liu Hu bowed his head slightly: "I know."

According to what Song Luodi said at the time, although Fang Linhou was dead, the account had not been settled. In the eyes of some people, the case was a business deal, and Fang Linhou had at least 20% of the shares. Over the years, there were at least hundreds of thousands of Taiping coins, or even more.

As for why the person was dead, but the account was not settled.

Because it involved Taiping Money House.

Why is Taiping money called Taiping money? Because private casting became popular in the last years of the previous dynasty, and inferior coins were rampant, resulting in chaotic circulation and cumbersome conversion. So Xuansheng and Emperor Gaozu decided to reform the currency system and promote a unified new currency. One is beneficial to people's livelihood, and the other is to improve taxation. The first batch of trial-produced new coins were minted by Taiping Money House, so they were named Taiping. Later, the full implementation of the new money was also handled by Taiping Money House.

Taiping Money House is called a money house, but it is actually equivalent to the central bank of Westerners. It is on par with the Taoist Duzhi Hall and the Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court. It is responsible for the minting and issuance of coins, gathering the wealth of the world, and is jointly managed by the Taoist and the imperial court. There are a total of seven assistants, three from the Taoist, three from the imperial court, and one from the royal family. These seven people are all high-ranking dignitaries, and they are rotated every five years, but most of them have been re-elected for several five-year terms.

If you want to check the accounts from Taiping Money House, except for the special circumstances where the Grand Master or the Emperor personally orders, at least four of them must agree. It looks easy, but it is actually very difficult. The three Taoists belong to Taiping Dao, Zhengyi Dao, and Quanzhen Dao respectively, and they are not of the same mind. Two of the three court people are from Confucianism, and one is from a noble family. In addition to a royal representative, the relationship between them is even more complicated.

For example, Zhang Wuliang, the assistant of Zhengyi Dao, Li Changsheng, the assistant of Taiping Dao, and Yao Yi, the assistant of Quanzhen Dao, are not ordinary people. The first two were peers of the Heavenly Master and the National Master, while Yao Yi was Yao Pei's father.

The shares involved in the Jiangnan case were all transferred from Taiping Money House, and they were bearer accounts. Of course, these were not all Fang Linhou's shares, but also included those who shared the money under him, but they were all registered under Fang Linhou's name. As for how they were divided, outsiders did not know. After the incident, Fang Linhou was killed, and his subordinates were killed or arrested. The few who escaped by chance did not dare to mention the matter. So the money is still lying in the account of Taiping Money House.

As a dignified second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, Fang Linhou was in a high position and had a lot of affairs. He was responsible for many things in the Jiangnan Daofu, and he was not proficient in economics. Naturally, it was impossible for him to manage the accounts himself, so there was someone who managed the accounts for him. This accountant was Liu Hu's nominal father.

Because this person died too early, he was not convicted in the end, and all the charges were finally pushed onto Fang Linhou.

This is what Qi Niang said. Liu Hu cannot be the daughter of Fang Lin Hou, because Fang Lin Hou's crime has been determined. It was Qi Xuansu's master Donghua Zhenren who personally promoted this matter. Can Qi Xuansu overturn Donghua Zhenren's case? He can't overturn it.

If Liu Hu is the daughter of Fang Lin Hou, and changes her name to Fang Hu, the background check will not pass, and she cannot be considered innocent, then there is no future.

If Liu Hu is still Liu Hu, the daughter of the Taoist priest who died in the line of duty, and can even be considered an orphan, then she is innocent. xь.

With Qi Xuansu and Qi Niang taking care of her, it is not difficult to become a high-quality Taoist priest, not to mention being rich and powerful.

Liu Hu knows the difference between the important and the unimportant, and does not force it. Moreover, as an illegitimate daughter, she does not have such a strong obsession with her biological father who she has not met many times.

Qi Niang is very satisfied with Liu Hu's obedience.

In fact, Qi Niang is a very strong person. Qi Xuansu before was also obedient. When Qi Niang said to go east, he did not dare to go west.

As for now, Qi Xuansu has grown stronger. As the old saying goes, a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother. Qi Niang has gradually lost control of Qi Xuansu.

Qiniang continued, "The main reason I asked you to come here this time is to avenge my father. Whether it is my biological father, my nominal adoptive father, or my future godfather, they are all closely related to the first Jiangnan case." xь.

Liu Hu nodded slightly.

Qi Xuansu took over the conversation: "I and the owner of Jiangnan Daofu, Zhang Fuzhu, are determined to take down Li Tianlan this time. Now we have controlled Li Tianlan's Taoist partner Gu Ying, but Gu Ying is very cunning and refuses to talk about Li Tianlan, so the situation has reached a deadlock."

Qiniang said, "But this is also an opportunity, because Gu Ying was arrested and the situation is unclear. Now people are in a state of unrest. As long as we add more fuel to the fire at this time, we will not worry about not burning Li Tianlan."

Xiao Yin was bored and yawned loudly, without any ladylike demeanor.

Liu Hu had already seen Xiao Yin, and asked, "Who is this little sister?"

Xiao Yin wanted to say something unpleasant, who is the little sister, I am your uncle Yin, but was stopped by Qi Xuansu's eyes. Qi Xuansu's meaning was very clear, if you are rude, I will send you back to Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu's deterrence is still great. For Xiao Yin, he is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of Lao Zhang calling him back. The sky is not scared, the earth is not scared, Lao Zhang is angry and trembling.

Xiao Yin immediately timid: "I am Yin Wanmiao, Yin of diligence, Wan of longevity, Miao of mysterious, everyone calls me Xiao Yin."

"Hello, Xiao Yin, I am Liu Hu." Liu Hu said with a smile.

Xiao Yin said reluctantly: "Hello too."

Qi Xuansu cleared his throat: "Xiaohu, don't mind. This girl is Qingxiao and I's adopted daughter. She is spoiled by us on weekdays. She is a bit petty."

Liu Hu was slightly surprised: "That's it. In the blink of an eye, Uncle Qi has a daughter."

Xiao Yin snorted softly.

Qi Xuansu returned to the topic: "Xiaohu, do you still have the relevant evidence of the peace money in your hands?"

Liu Hu nodded: "Yes."

"Okay." Qi Xuansu said, "With this evidence, we can open up the situation."

Liu Hu said nothing.

Qi Xuansu continued: "When this case is settled, if you want to develop in Taoism, then I can arrange for you to go to Borneo, or the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Maybe the Wanxiang Taoist Palace is better, it is in Longmen Mansion, that is where you live. I’ve been there for many years. By the way, have you taken the Taoist exam?”

Without waiting for Liu Hu to answer, Qiniang answered: "Of course I participated, I was responsible for it. Xiaohu is now a seventh-grade Taoist priest. However, after all, I am not a serious Taoist, just a fourth-grade wild Taoist priest." , I can only help you here. If I want to go up, I have to rely on the help of you, the chief executive."

Before Qi Xuansu could speak, Xiao Yin suddenly became energetic: "I'm already a fourth-grade Taoist Priest of Jiujiu before I'm even taller. No, I seem to have been promoted to a third-grade Taoist Priest of Youyi later."

Qi Xuansu looked at Xiao Yin: "Yin Dabai, you were very active today. Did you take the wrong medicine? Have you ever taken the major exam? You haven't even finished the courses at the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. You are called Xingjin."

"I don't care, I earned it through my military exploits." Xiao Yin said, "I also fought bravely to kill the enemy."

Qi Xuansu said: "Yes, you fought bravely and were beaten by the monsters in Fenglinzhou until you screamed."

Xiao Yin pulled Qiniang's sleeve and asked Qiniang for help: "Qiniang, look at him."

Qiniang had no choice but to say: "Tianyuan, it's almost done. Why bother with the child? I think you are getting better as you live."

Qi Xuansu returned to the topic: "Actually, I am very short of manpower. Although I have many subordinates, they are just subordinates. I can't even talk about real confidants. Xiaohu, if you can come and help me, then I will use both hands." welcome."

Xiao Yin added: "Me too."

Qi Xuansu ignored her and looked at Liuhu: "Xiaohu, what do you think?"

Liu Hu said softly: "I am willing to follow Uncle Qi's arrangements."

Qi Xuansu said: "Very good, tomorrow I will take you to see Palace Master Zhang. Because Master Qingwei is my immediate boss, so there are many things that I cannot come forward for. I have to let Palace Master Zhang come forward. This matter cannot be bypassed by Palace Master Zhang." . But before that, you have to explain the situation to me. When Qiniang said that I couldn't intervene, I didn't ask deeply. Now that I can finally intervene, I have to ask. "

Liu Hu nodded and said: "My adoptive father's name is Liu Shiying. He was originally a director of the branch branch of Jiangnan Daofu, and he was also a subordinate of my biological father Fang Linhou. The first major Jiangnan case, in addition to embezzlement, In addition to government assets, smuggling and reselling were also involved. The participants jointly established a share company, and each participant held a different number of shares based on their status and contribution, and then distributed dividends according to the shares. "

"The final result of the first major Jiangnan case ended with my biological father Fang Linhou being sentenced to death. On the surface, Fang Linhou was identified as the mastermind behind the scenes. In fact, this was not the case. Fang Linhou was only promoted. The abandoned son who came out. He only had about 25% of the shares in his hands, and Fang Linhou had already had a premonition, so he gave the 25% of the shares to my adoptive father in advance and asked my adoptive father to take me away. Leave blood to the Fang family. It's not that Fang Linhou doesn't want his other children to escape, but his other children have been targeted, and only I, the hidden illegitimate daughter, are unknown. "

"However, Fang Linhou did not expect that my adoptive father would also be silenced by those people in advance. Because it was not suicide but homicide, the Taoist government did not hold my adoptive father responsible. Before his death, my adoptive father transferred the 25% of the shares to He gave me the certificate and asked my adoptive father to take me away. Without this certificate, the money could not be withdrawn, so those people have been looking for me for these years, and this is why my adoptive father met with something unexpected. He has successfully escaped from danger and is going to join me in Liaodong. It was someone inside the Qingping Society who betrayed him, so he was attacked on the way. Qiniang has already dealt with this traitor. "

"In addition to this voucher, there is also an account book. After all, the two and a half percent of the shares are not owned by Fang Linhou alone, but also involve other people. Secondary dividends must be distributed every year based on the account flow, so we have this account book. The original copy of the account book has been destroyed. This is a copy that my adoptive father left behind. Some of the people on the account died in the first major Jiangnan case, and some were lucky enough to escape and are still in Jiangnan Province today. According to the vouchers and The ledger should be able to arrest them."
