Chapter 251 Local Rectification

Jiuyuan, Tongshan City——

Tongshan City is a resource-based processing city mainly engaged in copper mining and processing.

There are actually many such cities in Han Dynasty. For example, Tanshan City in Penglai Province is mainly engaged in the felling and processing of red sandalwood. Every year, relying on local red sandalwood resources, the economy of the entire Penglai region ranks among the best.

In addition, there are cities including Beimen and Yunzhong that rely on local cotton resources to engage in textile industry, cotton export and other industries. Even Jinshan City, which engages in light industry, has developed by connecting with overseas exports. .

There are almost no places in the entire Han Dynasty that have nothing but developed in the end. There may be places in the future, but at least it is impossible to happen now.

Tongshan City is crucial to the local finance of Jiuyuan, and can even be described as a pillar.

Some scholars have made statistics on the finances of the Jiuyuan region and finally came to the conclusion that without Tongshan City’s copper resources and the development of processing industry, part of the manufacturing industry, and local heavy industry based on the resources, the entire Jiuyuan's finances will drop by at least half, or even more. This is why some people jokingly said that Jiuyuan Province should be renamed Tongshan Province.

Although this is a joke, it truly reflects the important role of Tongshan City in Jiuyuan, even to the point where it cannot be replaced.

The huge copper resources in Tongshan City have also attracted the arrival of a large number of companies.

Northern Minerals is such a company. The company's full name is Hanguo Northern Minerals Company. It mainly operates copper mines, coal mines, and heavy industries led by manufacturing. It plays a decisive role in Tongshan City.

It is said that this northern mining company owns the mining rights for one-sixth of the copper mines in Tongshan City, with a total value of more than 30 million yuan. It is a typical giant enterprise.

But as the saying goes, grass does not grow under big trees. Wherever northern minerals go, they are basically in a mess. Local small businesses are either taken over by hostile takeovers or eliminated, and have a bad reputation in the world. .

But such a company has received a large number of bank loans, and they are all high-quality loans.

The explanation given to the outside world is that the company has good asset repayment ability. Although it seems reasonable, after all, for a company worth 40 million yuan, loans seem to be very normal, even for most companies. It is a normal thing to say, so why are northern minerals the only one that is so valued? ?

Because the debt of this company is actually so high that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand. The actual debt of this company seems to be less than 20 million, but this is superficial. Privately, this company owes contractors and private individuals. , has exceeded the value of 30 million he owns.

However, the company has always claimed that it owns copper mines worth 200 million yuan, and its current liabilities are still at normal levels.

In addition, the company is still effectively repaying interest and part of the principal, which also gives its investors the illusion that the company can still afford to repay the money, at least it will definitely be able to do so.

But only insiders know that the so-called repayment is just a joke, because after a large number of high-priced bids to obtain the minerals in the early stage, the company has actually been hollowed out. As for the so-called 200 million yuan in minerals, it does exist, but this thing is based on cash Some technologies take more than fifty years to develop. Even if the mining costs and labor costs are excluded, the actual money earned is almost the same as borrowing money. Even if some earn money, it is estimated that it is up to 10 million to 20 million, or even decades. Finally, there are still two questions.

In essence, Northern Minerals is exchanging money for money at this time with promises that are difficult to fulfill in the future. In the words of the financial field, it means spending a lot of money, blowing bubbles, and using this bubble to deceive people.

This kind of deception is actually not very sophisticated at all, but it has very high requirements for users, and Wang Yuxing, the boss of Northern Minerals, is such a master.

"Director——"

"This is the report that was just sent, please read it!!"

In a room lit by kerosene lamps, the light cast the shadows of the two people across from them on the ground. They were long and difficult to see clearly because the light inside was so dim. To read a book, one had to stand close to the light.

Mo Yu took the report and looked through the contents under the dim light on his desk. This was a habit Mo Yu had developed. The place where he lived should not be too bright, and it was best to stay away from the sun, because only in this way could he Will feel safe.

Wow---

The sound of turning the book in Mo Yu's hand was not loud in the first place. The only sound left in the room was the breathing of two people.

The intelligence officer on the opposite side didn't dare to take a breath. After all, the person in front of him was a real murderer without blinking an eye, and he was the real devil.

I don’t know how many people’s blood is on my hands! !

In addition to the sound of turning books in the room, even the sound of breathing was almost stagnant until Mo Yu raised his head and asked the intelligence officer: "How many cases have been tried recently??"

"Reporting to Director Mo, there are seventy-three cases in total."

The intelligence agent didn't even think twice and told Mo Yu the exact number. This was also the most important requirement for recruitment by the Investigation Bureau, which was good memory.

When Mo Yu heard this number, he calculated it in his mind and felt that it was almost the same, so he continued to ask: "How many people have been killed and how many people have been imprisoned??"

When Mo Yu said this, a murderous look appeared on his face involuntarily.

When the intelligence officer heard the word "murder", he seemed to think of something, and immediately replied: "According to yesterday's data, a total of 157 people were killed, more than 400 people were in jail, and there were 200 others." The rest are in exile——"

When Mo Yu heard these numbers, he didn't react at all, and he didn't even have any mood swings. It was as if nothing happened.

Then there was a panicked silence that lasted for a long time.

It wasn't until the end that Mo Yu picked up the documents that had been prepared in the drawer, threw them directly on the table, and then ordered: "Check the people inside, and which other companies -"

"By the way, it's best to know the relationship between this company and the Tongshan City Yamen, as well as the local governor Luo Yuzhen. I think this person is very suspicious, and I need to focus on investigating——"

"Go ahead, don't keep me waiting!!"

"Yes, Master Mo!!"

The intelligence officer said this and left with the sealed documents.

After he left, Mo Yu took out another more detailed document from the drawer and changed the position in his hand over and over again. At the end, Mo Yu murmured to himself with twinkling eyes: "Northern Minerals , interesting, so interesting, I like this kind of complicated things!!”
-

"Have you heard that the royal guards came recently!!"

"What Jinyiwei? I think it's Dongchang. These beasts, playing with power, have killed many loyal people!!"

"Who says it's not? Let's talk about my fourth uncle. A good grain depot director has done a good job. If you have to say he is corrupt, how much more corrupt can he be? It's just a dime from Jiu Niu, but he directly took me My fourth uncle was shot, do you think he is still a human being??"

"Beasts, they are just a bunch of beasts. I heard that Mo Yu is as good as Long Yang. He has to prepare the people below to prepare boys for him every day. Fortunately, there are no girls. Otherwise, I would have really made a scene from Journey to the West. It’s a monster!!”

"I don't understand why His Majesty wants to use people like Mo Yuyu and Li Shuqi. There are so many clean people in the court who are not using them. Instead, he uses these treacherous villains. Is this still done by the Holy Lord?"

"Hey, stop talking, or you may get burned!!"

"Hey--"

Crash, mahjong sounds sounded.

In a private room of a hotel in Tongshan City, several wealthy businessmen wearing satin round-neck Hanfu and gemstone rings were playing mahjong and were currently cleaning up the room.

As for why they are dissatisfied, there is no other reason. Because of this trend, those Shuashu are increasingly afraid to accept money. If they do not accept payment, their recent business will plummet! !

It is also under such circumstances that many places in Han Dynasty actually hate the Inspectorate and the Bureau of Investigation. Some people even compare the Inspectorate to the West Factory and the Investigation Bureau to the East Factory.

As for Mo Yu and Li Shuqi, they naturally became the likes of Wei Zhongxian and Qin Hui. In the minds of some people, they just had kneeling statues. Although they didn't exist on the surface, they definitely existed in their hearts.

And in a luxuriously decorated manor in a wealthy area of ​​Tongshan City, a certain big shot was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Have you figured it out? Does it have anything to do with me??"

Wang Yuxing, the boss of Northern Minerals, looked at Lao Niu across from him, his face showing unprecedented anxiety. After all, the current situation was definitely not a good thing for him personally. Even if he couldn't survive it, all the accumulation in the first half of his life would be lost. It will be destroyed in one day, and in the end, you won't even be able to save your life.

After all, for what he did, ten heads wouldn't be enough to chop him off.

"Master, the current situation is quite normal. A brother of mine who serves in the Inspectorate said that it is just a simple inspection at the moment. At most, a few models will be caught and brought to the flag for sacrifice. And as long as Mr. Luo has no problem, we estimate that it will not be a problem. There won’t be any problem—”

"After all, we and Mr. Luo are in the same boat!!" Lao Niu kept comforting Wang Yuxing, who was already angry and anxious, and the Mr. Luo he mentioned was none other than Luo Yuzhen, the governor of Jiuyuan at this time.

When Wang Yuxing heard this, he was still a little worried, but he was no longer as anxious as before. After all, as his Ma Zai Lao Niu said, as long as Master Luo, the big tree, does not fall, he, who is hiding under the tree, will The mouse will be fine.

And will something happen to Mr. Luo? ?

Wang Yuxing was not sure, but he felt that the provincial officials like Mr. Luo, the Inspectorate and the Bureau of Investigation were probably not capable of taking him down.

Wang Yuxing is right. According to the law, the Supervisory Office and the Investigation Bureau cannot directly arrest the governor-level officials of the border areas.

But if you get instructions from a higher level, it's different.

"In this way, from now on, ask the brothers to stop what they are doing, and also, don't go public yet, to avoid the recent limelight——"

"Master, this-"

"Okay, listen to me and go ahead!!"

"Yes, sir!!"

Lao Niu looked at the man in front of him who had been with the family for six years, a man who worked with him at the dock. He was a little reluctant to leave, and finally left.

"Hey - Sanqing Taoist, let me win again!!" Wang Yuxing stood in front of the Sanqing statue and put the incense into the incense burner.

After all this was done, Wang Yuxing looked at the portrait of a woman hanging on the wall with tears in his eyes. This was his mother. Wang Yuxing was one of the second batch of immigrants. At that time, his mother came to Han with him. However, his mother's life was not good and she died halfway through the boat.

According to the rules of the immigration ship, the dead cannot be left behind. In the end, under Wang Yuxing's grief, the staff on the ship held a sea burial for his mother, which was actually thrown into the sea.

That day was the most painful day for Wang Yuxing. Since that day, Wang Yuxing has changed. He has become hard-hearted. This is also the main reason why he was able to rise from a dock worker to the current business giant.

But now he always has a feeling that his good fortune has come to an end, and even after it is over, it will be the end, because if his affairs break out, it will be a capital crime.

"Wu Ma, let Cuiling drink over..."

"Yes, sir!!"

Wang Yuxing was already preparing for a retreat at this moment.

.............................................

Yunzhong City is a city that is hot all year round. Originally such a city should be very barren, but the Colorado River flowing down from the Colorado Plateau has completely changed the fate of this place.

Relying on the freshwater resources of the Colorado River and the local sunshine all year round, the area became an important cotton-producing area in Han Dynasty, just like the Nile River in Egypt.

Cotton and textile products worth tens of millions of dollars are produced and exported here every year. If you include the local wine estates, this place is already one of the richest places in the Han Dynasty, and can even be ranked among the top six. (The first is Jinshan, the second is Xijing, the third is Longjiang, the fourth is Tongshan, the fifth is Beimen, and the sixth is Yunzhong)

And all this is thanks to the former governor and the current governor Luo Yuzhen.

Speaking of Luo Yuzhen, this person is not very old. He was one of the first batch of imperial examinations. His grades were average. Later he was transferred to a local area and he did a decent job. Later he was promoted. Finally, relying on the trend of the times, he gradually became Sitting on the governor's seat.

This position is one that Luo Yuzhen and his family would not dare to think of. It is no exaggeration to say that there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.

But precisely because he climbed too fast and had some accidents, Luo Yuzhen also became more and more domineering. Wherever he went, there was great pomp and greetings, and banquets were naturally inevitable.

This person is good at wine, so naturally some people go out of their way to send him wine. The gifts are basically six-star fortress wines and even some imported foreign wines.

Originally, the superiors were willing to turn a blind eye to this kind of welcome and send-off in the name of friendship, as long as it was not too excessive.

And because Luo Yuzhen understands this truth very well, on the surface, apart from eating and drinking, you really can't catch him with anything.

…………

"This Luo Yuzhen is really strange. Apart from drinking, he really has no other hobbies!!"

"Who says it's not the case? I think it might be a waste of time..."

"Finish it early and rest early!!"

Outside Luo Mansion, several spies from the Investigation Bureau were talking quietly.

They really couldn't figure out Luo Yuzhen.

After all, no matter how you look at this guy, he doesn't look like a bad person. He will donate part of his salary to the Disability Bureau on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Isn't this a good guy! ! (Related to the protection unit for the disabled)

On Mo Yu's side, the Luo Yuzhen he saw was completely different from the Luo Yuzhen in the eyes of these spies.

In the eyes of the spies, Luo Yu is a really good person and a good official.

But in Mo Yu's eyes, this guy is just an old fox, a real old fox.

"He is really a smart man. He left nothing behind. He is so smart!!"

"Master..."

Seeing the information about Luo Yuzhen, Mo Yu couldn't help but applaud him.

"But you never guess who will betray you!!"

Mo Yu remembered what happened this morning, and a smile appeared on his lips.

.........

"Who are you!!"

"This is the governor's office, who dares to break in..."

Inside the governor's office, a group of soldiers rushed in with guns and surrounded the building.

"Are you Luo Yuzhen??"

"It's me, I'm the governor of Jiuyuan. What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"

Luo Yuzhen looked at the group of people opposite and directly labeled them as rebels.

"Rebellion, what a joke, I think you are the one who is treason!!"

The head of the investigation bureau who took the lead looked at Luo Yuzhen with disdain.

Luo Yuzhen felt angry, but finally endured it and asked angrily:

"You said that I committed rebellion. What crime did I commit? I am the governor of Jiuyuan who was favored by the imperial court. I was a Jinshi in the second year of Longwu. Who do you think you are? I think you are just a bunch of treacherous people who are plotting to kill Zhongliang. You Is the real intention to rebel..." Luo Yuzhen confidently questioned the investigation bureau hawk in front of him.

The director opposite him, looking at the still majestic Mr. Luo in front of him, had an indescribable feeling in his heart, just like the feeling of watching a hero's end.

"Master Luo, my Governor Luo, see for yourself what this is??"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, this is your forgery, how is it possible!!"

Looking at the arrest warrant issued by the cabinet in the man's hand, Luo Yuzhen felt as if he had seen a ghost.

The director opposite could not control so much and said to Luo Yuzhen directly:

"Master Luo, let's go!!"

"No, this must be forged by you. Come on, these people are rebellious. Quick, beat them out!!"

Until this time, Luo Yuzhen was still struggling. He firmly believed that he would not be discovered.

When the director saw the scene in front of him, he walked up to Luo Yuzhen and whispered: "Master Luo, remember Wang Yuxing!!"

Upon hearing this name, Luo Yuzhen was dumbfounded and muttered: "Impossible, it must be fake, it must be fake!!"

The whole person is on the verge of collapse.

The director opposite him looked at Luo Yuzhen, who was determined to reach the Yellow River, and continued to say: "In order to save the family, I can only betray you, Mr. Luo. These are his exact words..."

"take away!!"

Luo Yuzhen was escorted into the prison car in a state of despair, as if she had aged ten years.

A few days later, Luo Yuzhen's case had to be transferred to the cabinet for review because the amount involved was too large.

A week later, he was charged with a series of charges including cover-up, private misappropriation of public funds, and directing banks to provide loans to Northern Mining Company, including money laundering and fraud.

Luo Yuzhen was summarily executed, while Wang Yuxing was suspended for two years because of his meritorious service in reporting, and was allowed to retain part of his legal property.

It can be considered that he has achieved what he said to save his family.

In various parts of the Han Dynasty, a vigorous campaign to clean up rat pests was underway.

Not surprisingly, the Investigation Bureau, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Mo Yu, and Li Shuqi became real Han thieves, a Han thieves that countless rats and locusts cursed! !

　Please vote for me, please give me a reward, I really need it.
