Magistrate Mo raised his hand and gave Mo Kaishan a big hand, "Dad's stupid son, everything you can see with your eyes may not be true. Mr. Liu is not a bastard. He is looking for a way out for the Liu family."
"Ah? Help?"
General Yuan didn't believe it at all.
"How is it possible that he poured a basin of water on us and this is his way to survive?"
What kind of weird method is this?
Qi Baoer said nothing, but it was Yuchi who spoke: "The Liu family is too wealthy in Zhongzhou."
The words seemed irrelevant, but they answered General Yuan's doubts.
The Liu family is very rich. In Zhongzhou, the Liu family is the richest person. Even in the entire west and north, the Liu family is one of the richest people.
Money can be attractive to the eyes, and profits can be attractive to people's hearts.
For a small amount of money, let alone "rob" or "cheat", there are people who do the same thing as "poison" and "smuggling" knowing that the punishment is not punishable?!
Knowing that every time the imperial court transports military pay and military supplies, it will be escorted by a group of powerful people, why are there still groups of people blocking the road and trying to rob it?
Even in the era of Qi Baoer's previous life, when the law was relatively complete, if a rich person didn't have a strong backer, sooner or later his family's wealth would be robbed by others.
It sounds ruthless and cruel, but it is the fact.
In the past, the Liu family relied on the favored Concubine Liu in the palace; but it was not solely due to Concubine Liu. After all, our late emperor was not a very romantic person, and Concubine Liu was only favored for less than half a year.
At that time, the Liu family was able to become an imperial merchant. It was really the Liu family's own ability. Mrs. Liu was important, but her importance was only that she was a stepping stone for the Liu family to become an imperial merchant.
But after all, Mrs. Liu was a concubine before she became a concubine. There was a concubine in the palace, and let’s talk about the late emperor. Although he was not long-term, he was not unfeeling at least. He just didn’t favor him, but he was already his woman.
His concubines are treated better than the concubines he has never touched.
This gave outsiders the illusion that these concubines were still favored.
Therefore, Concubine Liu, who is no longer the only favorite, but still favored, became the most powerful backer of the Liu family after the Liu family became an imperial merchant. Also because of Concubine Liu, there are people who are jealous of the Liu family's quick rise, but
They are all afraid of the miraculous ability of Heifeng and dare not do anything to the Liu family.
But now, the once "favored" Empress Liu has become a concubine Liu who is raised in the harem and no longer poses any threat.
The Liu family's most powerful backer fell.
As for other backers, haha.
The Liu family was not a big family with a great heritage, but it only got up because a girl entered the palace and was favored by the emperor.
When the person in the palace is favored, everyone will naturally give the Liu family a little less favor. Besides, the Liu family is not uninterested, and the good thing is that they can usually stick to him a lot.
But when you are useless in the palace, in the face of profit, you, the Liu family, who are already powerless but extremely wealthy, have become a big piece of fat waiting to be slaughtered!!!
Now, the Liu family should have fallen into the hands of someone; and Yuan Liu, presumably, was not willing to fall into such a situation; but the Liu family was helplessly controlled by others, so they could only let their only son live in a kind of way.
The alternative method hopes to attract people who can help the Liu family.
The reason why the only son was allowed to do such an unpopular and dangerous thing was that his identity would not easily attract the attention of those who controlled the Liu family.
After thinking about this, General Yuan broke out in cold sweat, "My God, I thought..."
He pointed in the direction of the treasurer's office area and said in a low voice: "They are in the same group."
In just one day, the Shadowless Army led by Yuchi was searching in the dark. They now have a rough idea of the role played by the treasurer's office in Zhongcheng.
There is no problem with military pay and military supplies all the way from the capital to Zhongcheng; when problems arise, they start from the treasurer's office in Zhongcheng.
The treasurer's office in the middle city did not pay all the military pay and military supplies, but basically they would deduct half of it. Then almost every treasurer's office along the way would deduct a little. When the military pay and military supplies arrived at the treasurer's office in the border town, then
There isn't much left.
But if you don't provide military pay and military supplies at all, that won't work. The trouble that the three armies will come to your treasurer's office is still small, but the trouble that the three armies will go to the court will be big. Read the book
Therefore, in order to stabilize the three armies in the northwest, the three border cities were given half a year's military pay and military supplies almost every two years, or a few months a year first, because there was an accident on the road or the imperial court's military pay and military supplies had not yet come.
The location of the Central City is unique, and it is an excellent location to get stuck. Whether the officials in other cities in the northwest notice something unusual and want to report it, or the three armies are dissatisfied and want to appeal to the Ministry of War, all letters and personnel must be sent to the Central City.
go through.
As long as the central city is blocked and the surrounding mountains and forests are secured as a precaution, it can be said that no news from the northwest can reach the capital.
As for why in the past few years, neither the people who transported military pay and military supplies nor the accompanying military personnel found that there was a problem with the treasurer's office in Zhongcheng?
All I can say is that Director Yuan is so good at acting that he deceives everyone.
His deception is not because of his good acting skills, but because he is barely a god and he has the ability to confuse people.
General Yuan and others did not know that if Qi Baoer himself was not here this time, General Yuan and others would have set off back to Beijing under the deception of Director Yuan.
Qi Bao'er's spiritual power was only at the Spirit King level, but her consciousness had reached at least the Intermediate Spirit King level. Director Yuan's confusing powers seemed to her like a child dancing with a stick in front of her.
Just the same, it's not worth her bother to look at it at all.
But Director Yuan himself didn't know this, and thought he had confused those people. He was discussing with a few confidants how to help Chief Ye and others while leaving as soon as possible.
The power of one stroke.
Confidant No. 1 said with a displeased look on his face: "The Liu family is as shameless as the Mo family, so why not just do it all."
Confidant No. 2 expressed opposition, "The Liu family has to stay, they can make money. If the master wants to achieve great things, he can't do it without money."
Yes, as Qi Baoer and others guessed, the Liu family has long been controlled by others and has become someone's money-making tool.
The Liu family are amazingly very business-savvy. As long as they are given a platform, their family can blossom and bear fruit in a proliferating manner. They are all rakes for money.
But just because he is so good at making money, he has caught the attention of some people. His life was saved, but he also lost his freedom. He became a "captive" in Midtown who specializes in making money for someone.
Rake.
Director Yuan glared at the No. 1 confidant, "The Mo family can't be touched for the time being. Use your brain. Magistrate Mo has nothing to do with us. He is a government official. We are under the control of the Ministry of War. He can't control us, so don't worry about anything.
Go provoke them."
Originally, there was no conflict between the Treasurer's Yamen and the government, but after these people took over the "big power" in the northwest, they all drifted away. They often did things in the city that the government would interfere with, and this gradually made Magistrate Mo focus on the Treasurer's Yamen.
It also made Magistrate Mo aware that there was something wrong with the Treasurer's Yamen, so he secretly began to investigate the Treasurer's Yamen and him.
If you ask whether Director Yuan is angry about this, that's for sure.
But it would be too false to say that these people in front of him are all his brothers who have experienced life and death.
After all, for people like them, the concept of brothers has never existed. Who the hell doesn’t just live for themselves?!
