Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 429 If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm!

Jinan City.

Official post.

"Lian Xian, the people from the governor's office have been separated and our people have been asked to inquire."

Tian Ji hurried to the main hall and saw Cui Chengxiu busy at the desk. He lifted his robe and stepped forward and said: "If these people are reliable, we will be able to grasp the basic situation in Shandong by tonight at the latest. This will have a certain influence on the subsequent case handling." Helpful, if..."

"There is no need to worry about this. Yuan Keli is still trustworthy."

Cui Chengxiu put down his pen, looked up at Tian Ji and said with a smile: "The fact that he sent people from the governor's office instead of seconding people from other places is already telling the problem. Even in Yuan Keli's heart, he is more or less interested in me. The Integrity Commission doesn't want to see it, but the water transportation case currently being investigated was personally authorized by the emperor, so he can distinguish the priorities."

"The lower official thinks so too."

Tian Ji nodded in response, then pondered for a moment, frowning and said: "However, the official also felt that this Yuan Keli must be hiding other thoughts. The official had an intuition that after Yuan Keli took office as the governor of Shandong, he would definitely investigate in secret. Something, and I found out some clues, maybe even more."

"Definitely."

Cui Chengxiu smiled, leaning on the official hat chair and said: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, how can you let him sit in such an important position as governor of Shandong?"

"I was just thinking that this Yuan Keli could be so calm. In addition to finding out some things, he was probably doing it more for Shandong itself."

"What does Integrity mean?"

Tian Ji seemed to have thought of something and asked with doubts.

"I can't say for sure right now."

Cui Chengxiu shook his head and said: "But we have been in Jinan City for a long time. There was no movement at all before, but now there should be some movement."

Ok?

After hearing this, Tian Ji could not help but feel suspicious in his heart. What kind of movement is this? When they arrived in Jinan City, they could obviously feel that many people were watching from behind. Although they didn't know who they were, they had previous experience in supervising the Beizhili warehouse deficit case, so they were alert.

That's right. Not only Cui Chengxiu himself, but also Tian Ji and others who were accompanying him, were sure that Shandong had a big secret hidden in it. And if they were to find out in the end, the so-called water transport case might not involve Shandong alone!

"Read these letters first."

When Tian Ji was suspicious, Cui Chengxiu picked up a few letters and handed them to Tian Ji and said: "Not long after we arrived, Ben Xian received these letters. The ones involved were the Kong family, and one of them, Are you in Jinan City now?"

Tian Ji quickly reached out and took it.

Ok.

After Cui Chengxiu came to Jinan City, it was not that he didn't know everything. The Jinyi Guards disguised as Luan Guards knew that after the Integrity Council arrived in Shandong, they sent some of the information they found out to the official post in the form of letters, and it was Cui Chengxiu. No one in the main hall noticed it beforehand.

It was precisely after seeing these letters that Cui Chengxiu decided to wait and see. After all, he had read many confidential files before leaving Beijing.

A branch of the Yan Sheng Gong Mansion?

The remnants of White Lotus?

People from the southeastern provinces?

After reading these letters, Tian Ji showed a shocked look at this moment. Wasn't he talking about investigating the water transportation case? Why are these people still involved?

Ok.

Before Cui Chengxiu was ordered to leave Beijing, he did not disclose many confidential information. In his position, he had to be on guard against others. If the news leaked before he came to Shandong, the final result would be a failure!

But things are different now.

The people who came to Shandong with Cui Chengxiu were all people he trusted, especially Tian Ji and Li Kuilong. They were one and the same.

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed. If anything happens to Cui Chengxiu, their power and status will not be preserved. After all, it is Cui Chengxiu who is the Minister of Integrity.

"Integrity, what should we do next?"

Tian Ji tried hard to control his emotions, took the letters in his hand, looked at Cui Chengxiu and said: "If these are all true, then we have to consider more when investigating the water transport case. After all, there are too many involved. What if? …”

"It's a consideration, but it shouldn't be a reason for us to tie our hands."

Cui Chengxiu smiled and waved his hand: "I have thought about it. Since there are so many people watching now, we should take action and arrest these people from the Kong family first."

"!!!"

Tian Ji couldn't hide his shock. This is called considering. Arresting the Kong family members, even if they are branches of the Yan Shenggong family, is different after all.

What's more, this is in Shandong!

"You personally lead the team to catch them, and don't let anyone get away."

Cui Chengxiu continued: "We will arrest them in the name of investigating the canal transport case, and make as much noise as possible. I want to see if those people hiding behind will jump out one by one."

"Integrity!! There is a situation!!"

When Tian Ji wanted to say something, Li Kuilong's voice came from outside the hall.

"Lian Xian, several account books appeared inexplicably where Xiaguan lives."

Under the watchful eyes of Cui Chengxiu and others, Li Kuilong quickly walked into the main hall with several account books, "After the official looked at it, he felt that the matter was important, so he rushed over immediately. These account books are for customs clearance!!"

Ok?

With some doubts, Cui Chengxiu took the account books and then started to read them. Tian Ji and Li Kuilong looked at each other and then stood quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Cui Chengxiu's face showed a smile.

really.

Just as I guessed.

The figure of Yuan Keli appeared in Cui Chengxiu's mind, and he secretly thought in his heart that this account book would not appear sooner or later, but just after he visited Yuan Keli, people from the governor's Yamen followed him to the official post and appeared in the official post.

Yuan Keli found out a lot of things! ! !

"Tian Ji, you immediately do what I said." Cui Chengxiu, thinking of this, raised his head and looked at Tian Ji and said, "Don't miss any of them."

"Here!"

Seeing Cui Chengxiu like this, Tian Ji knew that it must be a big deal. Even though he had some concerns in his heart, he bowed to him very decisively.

"Let's go to the inner accounting room with Ben Xian!"

After Cui Chengxiu finished explaining, he immediately stood up and said to Li Kuilong: "These account books related to Linqing customs are the key evidence to break the deadlock. We need to do a good calculation to see how to break this situation."

"Here!"

Li Kuilong nodded in response, and then left with Cui Chengxiu, but doubts arose in Li Kuilong's heart, who was Tian Ji going to arrest?

They have only been in Jinan City for a few days, and they don't know much about many situations in Shandong. Even the information they know is only superficial. They have not yet found out what is hidden behind the scenes. The people they want to arrest now, Is it related to the water transport case they want to investigate?
