Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Liu Zhi translated the secret letter on the document in the house. After memorizing it, he burned the translated content and walked out of the city.

In the early morning, people were walking together with laughter and joy, but he was in an extremely heavy mood, in stark contrast to others.

He can only take one step at a time now, unable to predict what will happen next, nor can he imagine the consequences he will face.

He didn't even know that there were several ghostly figures hanging far behind him.

However, Cao Xing was no longer among these figures.

Cao Xing left first after he finished translating the secret letter. He had already learned the contents of the secret letter, and now Liu Zhi was of no use to him.

He no longer cared about Liu Zhi's life or death. The most important thing was that the secret letter mentioned the location of the black account. It was obvious that Jin Biao could no longer hold back and was ready to run away with the black account.

Jin Biao's plan was very careful.

He not only holds a large number of hostages, but also has the trump card of black accounts.

As for his son Jin Xin, he understood that as long as he held the black account, Qin Gui would not dare to do anything to Jin Xin.

This time, letting Liu Zhi collect the black accounts is the only solution.

His confidants are all in prison, and once they get out, they will definitely be targeted by Cao Xing's men. Liu Zhi is a chess piece he deliberately left outside, and he has a hostage in his hand, so Liu Zhi would never dare to act recklessly.

His idea was good, but plans cannot keep up with changes.

Liu Zhi would indeed do as he asked, but Liu Zhi had already been targeted, and Qin Gui had already thought of the key point of Liu Zhi, so he arranged people to monitor him early in the morning.

Jin Biao now wants to get the black account through Liu Zhi and run away early.

Qin Gui also wanted to get the black account book which recorded the dirty records of dozens of officials in Sijiu City.

Therefore, Liu Zhi's situation was quite bad.

Cao Xing was not like them who followed Liu Zhi slowly. He had already gone ahead and arrived at the edge of a village outside the city.

It’s true, although this place is close to the old city, it is sparsely populated. Apart from a few dilapidated houses, there is no other human trace.

There are a lot of graves around here, and villagers don't usually come here.

I have to say that Jin Biao is really good at choosing places. If he relied on Cao Xing's spiritual perception to look for it, he would probably spend a month or so searching the entire city and still not be able to find the black accounts.

He activated his spiritual perception and walked directly towards the stove in the dilapidated house.

According to the information deciphered by Liu Zhi, the black account is under the stove.

Jin Biao is really brave. He is not afraid that a homeless person will come and start a fire and burn such an important thing.

Cao Xing activated his mental power, and a grenade with the fuse already pulled out floated out directly from under the stove.

Looking at the tiny silk thread on the grenade, Cao Xing marveled at Jin Biao's caution.

Without his guidance, even if others knew the location of the black account, they would trigger this mechanism and be destroyed.

Carefully controlling the grenade to the ground, Cao Xing took out a long pole and poked it into the stove.

With just two pokes, he poked open a few red bricks, revealing an iron box.

Cao Xing was delighted and opened the iron box immediately after making sure everything was fine.

Sure enough, the account book was lying quietly inside.

The account book is very thick, probably as thick as a Xinhua Dictionary!

Cao Xing looked through it and, as expected, found that the records were all about officials and financial department managers who were in collusion with Sijiucheng and Jin Biao.

Among them are records of Jin Biao’s own corruption and bribery in the Planning Department over the years.

The amount is huge!

Although Jin Biao is just a small director, he is in charge of the approval of many state-owned projects across the country.

Even the smallest amount of money embezzled is an astonishing figure.

Cao Xing was also very puzzled as to why corrupt officials liked to record the money they embezzled in a notebook. He didn't understand it before, but now he understands.

He has investigated quite a few corrupt officials, and he has done special research on this problem.

To outsiders, it seems stupid for corrupt officials to keep accounts. Isn’t this solid evidence?

Now Cao Xing understood that there were only three points.

The first point is psychological. Corrupt officials record every penny of income in order to satisfy their psychological needs.

This kind of record is a kind of psychological compensation, making them feel that they have achieved something.

The second point is to threaten others.

Keeping accounts can be used as a means of self-deterrence, making corrupt officials cautious about their behavior.

At the same time, these records can also be used as a tool to threaten others, ensuring that bribers dare not easily turn against or report.

The third and most important point is to better accept bribes.

For complex acts of embezzlement and bribery, bookkeeping helps to manage and calculate the amounts and people involved, allowing corrupt officials to better control and manage their own embezzlement activities.

For example, last time you asked me to do something for you and gave me ten dollars, if you ask me to do something for you again, the price I will give you will increase or decrease based on the difficulty of the task.

This is just a business deal, but after doing so many things, you will still have a sense of justice in your heart.

This Jin Biao is no exception.

He was very corrupt after he entered the Ministry of Industry, and there were people in every province and city across the country who bribed him.

The amounts varied, but in the early stages a lot of it went into Qin Gui's pocket.

The time, place, amount, method, items, etc. are recorded clearly.

After a quick look, Cao Xing couldn't help but be shocked.

Qin Gui got 80% of the share in the early stage. No wonder Jin Biao rebelled against him. Even Cao Xing would rebel against him!

However, Qin Gui never showed up to collect the money. It was always different subordinates who collected the money. There were only records but no evidence.

However, although the records here cannot be used as all evidence, they are enough to make Qin Gui suffer.

The records are so detailed that even if Qin Gui was wrongly accused, he will not be able to escape investigation. It is estimated that he will not be able to stay in the position of deputy minister for long.

With the black account, Cao Xing thought about it, put the iron box back, restored the red bricks, and then put the grenade back to its original place.

He can take the black money, but he can't let others know, he has to make a good show.

Naturally, no one believed what Liu Zhi said, and his fate was predictable.

After clearing his footprints on the ground, Cao Xing flew up with the account book in his hand and went straight to a hill in the distance.

This place is several hundred meters away from the dilapidated house, and with his eyesight, he can see clearly what is happening in the dilapidated house.

Two hours later, a figure walked down the avenue.

It was Liu Zhi.

However, his expression at this moment was different from when he first came out, and he looked very anxious.

He discovered the person following him halfway, and wanted to shake him off but couldn't.

Liu Zhi immediately realized that the other party was an expert and it was impossible for him to get rid of them by himself.

Since he couldn't get rid of them, he had to play it brightly, run faster, and try to create distance between himself and these people, so that he could quickly find the black account and hide in the dark to complete the tasks in Jin Biao's secret letter.

He remembered that Jin Biao asked him to spread the news that was unfavorable to Qin Gui before the evening. Although the time was not short, it was very tight for him.
