The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 73 Anti-Corruption Work

As the so-called punching the old master to death, although He Mingyuan has rich experience, he is not an omniscient god. The investigation of the Luanshicheng mine case soon hit a bottleneck.

He Mingyuan also tried to find evidence through the upstream and downstream related parties in the mineral trade chain, just like he used the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce to dig up black material from the Qingyun City Branch.

However, he suddenly discovered that none of the chambers of commerce that cooperated with his investigation could provide black information about the Luanshi City branch, and the chamber of commerce that was most promising to provide black information about Luanshicheng did not cooperate with his investigation at all.

Sure enough, the clerk who was in charge of the Luanshicheng case immediately reported: "Guard He, our investigation has encountered a lot of resistance. These criminals obviously have a very strong umbrella in Luanshicheng, and the downstream affiliated chambers of commerce that helped them sell the stolen goods are probably all Concentrate on one or two. At present, we have used various methods you mentioned to put pressure on the major chambers of commerce in Luanshi City. Most of the chambers of commerce have honestly cooperated with our investigation, but..."

"Just what?" He Mingyuan asked repeatedly.

The clerk replied with shame on his face: "It's just that the subordinates are incompetent. There are two chambers of commerce that don't buy our account at all! These two are the Guyun Chamber of Commerce under the Guyun Sect, the overlord of Luanshi City, and the deacon of the Merit Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Fang Jiancai’s Far East Chamber of Commerce, these two chambers of commerce are very strong backers, and the cargo throughput is huge, we now highly suspect that the corrupt elements in the Luanshicheng Mine are probably specifically looking for these two chambers of commerce to cooperate in selling stolen goods!”

Needless to say, Fang Jiancai, the inspector of the Merit Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect, stood behind him, Cheng Shuying, the Supreme Elder of the Yuanying Qi of the Wuliang Sword School.

The background of Guyun Sect is also not small. Ren Tianyuan, another Nascent Soul Stage Supreme Elder of Wuliang Sword Sect who has been in seclusion all the year round, was born in Luanshicheng area.

Because this Elder Ren doesn't care about worldly affairs and doesn't cultivate merit all year round, other major cultivation forces generally keep him at a respectful distance, so Guyun Sect has a quite detached position in the southeast coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou.It is precisely because of the strong backing that the two chambers of commerce were able to refuse the Qingning Chamber of Commerce's request to cooperate with the investigation on the grounds of commercial confidentiality.

The corrupt elements in Luanshi City specially selected these two chambers of commerce as channels for selling their stolen goods, which was obviously intentional!

After He Mingyuan listened to his subordinate's report, he frowned and said: "The criminal gang involved in the Luanshicheng mine corruption case is bold and careful, and it is definitely not comparable to the small fish and shrimps we caught before. It seems that this time we met A strong enemy! I ordered you to start the investigation from the lowest level of miners, do you have any clues now?"

The clerk shook his head and said: "Some time ago, some grassroots miners in the Luanshicheng mine suddenly resigned collectively. It is said that they were hired by a foreign chamber of commerce with a high salary and went to the Great Lakes area thousands of miles away to mine, but the specific whereabouts were unknown. No one can explain clearly. Such an outrageous thing, now it seems, should also be a means for these corrupt elements to openly resist the investigation of the headquarters!"

The territory of Zhongzhou is extremely vast.

Haiya City, Tianshu City, Luanshi City, and the seventeen adjacent coastal cities are usually collectively referred to as the southeast coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou. Going further west from the southeastern coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou, there will be a vast and flat plain. In the center is Luoxing Lake, the largest lake in Zhongzhou, so this vast plain is also called the Great Lakes Region.

Luoxia City is the city closest to Sea Cliff City in the Great Lakes region in the southeastern part of Zhongzhou.

Although the two regions are adjacent to each other, because each region has a radius of thousands of miles, there is relatively little information exchange between the two places. Even if you start from the nearest Luoxia City in the Great Lakes region, you need to travel more than 2000 kilometers to Haiya City. distance.

He Mingyuan's trick of "mobilizing grassroots people to fight against landlords" was learned from Consultant Yang's "Management Practice of Qingning Chamber of Commerce". He did not expect that the gang of corrupt elements in the Luanshicheng Mine would be so difficult to deal with, and they planned to dispatch all the grassroots miners involved in the case. gone.

Wanting to go to the vast and densely populated Great Lakes region to track down the whereabouts of dozens of miners is obviously a dream.

If it were a normal person, I'm afraid it would have been helpless.

But He Mingyuan is a master in the field of corruption after all, so it's fine if he loses to a natural genius like Consultant Yang. If he loses to the stewards of other branches in the field of corruption, where will he put his "stern and selfless He Mingyuan" face?
While He Mingyuan was thinking about countermeasures, a familiar face ran into the reception room. This person was named Li Feng, and he was a trusted subordinate who accompanied He Mingyuan to report to the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Regardless of He Mingyuan's still assigning work, he immediately shouted: "Guard He, we have already obtained conclusive evidence!"

He Mingyuan's eyes suddenly brightened.

In order to ensure that the corruption case in Luanshi City was won, he formulated a multi-pronged strategy to investigate. Li Feng's job was to find a breakthrough in the case from the Haiya City Commodity Exchange.

Before He Mingyuan took the initiative to ask, Li Feng reported excitedly: "Following the method you instructed, I focused the investigation on the Haiya City Commodity Exchange. At present, the suspects have basically been locked down! The case of the Luanshicheng mine corruption case The top leader should be Ji Sihan, the mine steward in charge of sales!"

"I knew they would show their feet at the Haiya City Commodity Exchange!" He Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, "These guys are not only very cunning, but also bold enough to collude with external cultivators as mortals." Power, I even saw my own from him... ahem, but now it seems that I, He Mingyuan, have the better skills and found the key evidence first."

After all, he waved his hand excitedly: "In this case, everyone can prepare to close the net! This time, we must show Consultant Yang the ability of our team!"

Li Feng quickly asked for instructions: "Before closing the net, do we need to inform Consultant Yang?"

He Mingyuan said confidently: "Consultant Yang still has to attend the Immortal Ascension Conference, let's not disturb him because of such a trivial matter! If we can't even deal with the corrupt elements in our Qingning Chamber of Commerce, I don't deserve to sit in this position!"

Li Feng bowed to accept the order and said, "I'll arrange for the arrest right away!"

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, He Mingyuan's heart suddenly moved and he raised his hand to stop him: "Wait, don't move yet! This guy named Ji Sihan is hiding so deeply, and his accomplices can commit suicide in such a timely manner to destroy evidence, and every time If we can use thunderous means to resist our investigation, the matter may not be as simple as it seems on the surface, maybe...he still has internal support at the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce!"

As soon as these words came out, all the members of the anti-corruption team around them showed a look of sudden realization.

It's no wonder that every time the Qingning Chamber of Commerce headquarters makes any move, Luanshicheng Mine will make the most correct response. Only Li Feng, who was sent by He Mingyuan alone to investigate the Haiyacheng Commodity Exchange, has made a breakthrough.

If there is an internal response from the other party at the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, everything will make sense!

He Mingyuan paced back and forth for a while, and finally made a final decision: "The amount of money involved in the corruption of the Luanshicheng Mine is huge, and I must ensure that everything is safe... Well, I will talk to Steward Zhou in person later, and ask him to control Dunguang himself Make a trip to Luanshi City, and arrest Ji Sihan on the spot, and never give this cunning opponent any chance to come back!"
