Pawn Crossing the River

Liu Hu lowered his head slightly and said, "I understand."

According to what Song Luodi said at the time, although Fang Linhou was dead, the accounts had not yet been settled. In the eyes of some people, the original case was just a business, in which Fang Linhou accounted for at least 20% of the shares. After so many years, it amounted to hundreds of thousands of peacetime, or even more.

As for why the person has died, the account has not been settled.

Because it involves Taiping Bank.

Why is Taiping money called Taiping money? Because private minting became common in the late years of the previous dynasty, bad coins were rampant, resulting in chaotic circulation and cumbersome conversions. So Emperor Xuansheng and Emperor Gaozu decided to reform the currency system and implement a unified new currency. One is beneficial to people's livelihood, and the other is improving tax revenue. The first batch of trial-produced new coins were minted by Taiping Bank, so they were named after Taiping. Later, the comprehensive implementation of new money was also handled by Taiping Bank.

Taiping Bank is called Qianzhuang, but it is actually equivalent to the central bank of Westerners. It is on an equal footing with the Taoist branch and the imperial household department. It is responsible for the casting and issuance of coins, and gathers the wealth of the world. It is jointly managed by the Taoist clan and the imperial court. There are seven people in total. Among the assistants, three are from the Taoist sect, three are from the imperial court, and one is from the royal family. These seven people are all dignitaries in high positions, and they rotate every five years, but most of them have been re-elected for several five-year terms.

If you want to check the accounts from Taiping Bank, except for special circumstances where the Grand Master or His Majesty the Emperor personally orders it, at least four of them must agree. It seems easy, but it is actually very difficult. The three Taoist sects belong to Taiping Taoism, Zhengyiyi Taoism and Quanzhen Taoism respectively. They are not of the same mind. Two of the three court sects are from the Confucian sect, and one is from a noble family. Plus a representative of the royal family, the relationship between them is even more... complex.

For example, Zhang Wuliang, the assistant director of Zhengyi Dao, Li Changsheng, the assistant director of Taiping Dao, and Yao Yi, the assistant director of Quanzhen Dao, are not ordinary people. The first two are contemporaries of the Celestial Master and the National Master, and Yao Yi is Yao Pei's father.

The shares involved in the Jiangnan case were all transferred from Taiping Bank, and they were in bearer accounts. Of course, these are not all the shares of Fang Linhou alone, but also include those who share the money with him, but they are all under Fang Linhou's name. As for how they are divided, outsiders don't know. After the incident, Fang Linhou was killed, and his subordinates were also beaten to death and arrested. The remaining few who were lucky enough to escape did not dare to mention the matter. So this money is still lying in Taiping Bank's account.

As a dignified second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, Fang Linhou held a high position and was busy with affairs. He was responsible for many things in Jiangnan Daofu. He was not proficient in economics, so it was naturally impossible for him to manage the accounts himself, so there was a person who managed the accounts for him. . This person in charge of the accounts is Liu Hu’s nominal father.

Because this man died too early, he was not convicted in the end. In the end, all

The blame was placed on Fang Linhou.

This is what Qiniang said. Liuhu cannot be Fang Linhou's daughter, because Fang Linhou's crime has already been confirmed. It was Qi Xuansu's master Donghua Zhenren who personally promoted the matter. Qi Xuansu can turn over Donghua Zhenren's case. case? It can't be turned over either.

If Liu Hu is Fang Linhou's daughter and changes her name to Fang Hu, and her background check fails, and she cannot be considered innocent, then she will have no future.

If Liu Hu is still Liu Hu, the daughter of the Taoist priest who died in the service, and can even be regarded as an orphan, then she is innocent.

With Qi Xuansu and Qiniang taking care of her, it would not be difficult to become a high-quality Taoist priest, not to mention becoming rich and powerful.

Liu Hu understood the importance and did not force it. Moreover, as an illegitimate daughter, she was not that obsessed with her biological father whom she had not met for a few times.

Qiniang was very satisfied with Liu Hu's obedience.

In fact, Qiniang is a very strong person. Qi Xuansu was also obedient before. Qiniang said to go east, but he did not dare to go west.

As for now, Qi Xuansu's wings are hardened. As the old saying goes, the child cannot control his mother, and Qi Niang has gradually lost control of Qi Xuansu.

Qiniang continued, "The main reason I asked you to come here this time is to avenge my father. Whether he is the biological father, the nominal adoptive father, or the future adoptive father, they are all inseparable from the first major Jiangnan case."

Liu Hu nodded slightly.

Qi Xuansu took over, "Master Zhang of Jiangnan Daofu and I are determined to take down Li Tianlan this time. We have now controlled Li Tianlan's Taoist companion Gu Ying, but Gu Ying is very cunning and refuses to tell anything about Li Tianlan. reached an impasse."

Qiniang said, "But this is also an opportunity. Because Gu Ying was arrested and the situation is unknown, people are already in a state of confusion. As long as we add more fire at this time, we won't be able to burn Li Tianlan."

Xiao Yin was bored and yawned loudly, without any ladylike demeanor.

Liu Hu had seen Xiao Yin a long time ago and asked, "Who is this little sister?"

Xiao Yin retorted and wanted to say something unpleasant, "Who is the little sister? I am your Uncle Yin," but was stopped by Qi Xuansu's look. Qi Xuansu's meaning is very clear. If you are rude, I will send you back to Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu's deterrence is still great. For Xiao Yin, he is not afraid of anything.

I was afraid that Lao Zhang would call me back. The sky is calm and the earth is calm, Lao Zhang is angry and trembling.

Xiao Yin immediately hesitated, "I am Yin Wanmiao, Yin Qin Yin, Long live Wan, Xuan Miao Miao, everyone calls me Xiao Yin."

"Hello, Xiaoyin, I'm Liu Hu." Liu Hu said with a smile.

Xiao Yin reluctantly said, "It's good for you too."

Qi Xuansu cleared her throat, "Xiaohu, don't mind. This girl is the adopted daughter of me and Qingxiao. She is spoiled by us on weekdays. She is a bit petty."

Liu Hu was slightly surprised, "That's it. In the blink of an eye, Uncle Qi has a daughter."

Xiao Yin snorted softly.

Qi Xuansu returned to the topic, "Xiaohu, do you still have the relevant evidence of the peace money in your hands?"

Liu Hu nodded, "Yes."

"Okay." Qi Xuansu said, "With this evidence, we can open up the situation."

Liu Hu said nothing.

Qi Xuansu continued, "After this case is settled, if you want to develop in Taoism, then I can arrange for you to go to Borneo, or the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Maybe the Wanxiang Taoist Palace is better, it is in Longmen Mansion, and that is your life." Many years ago. By the way, have you taken the Taoist exam?"

Without waiting for Liu Hu to answer, Qiniang continued, "Of course I participated, I was responsible for it. Xiaohu is now a seventh-grade Taoist priest. However, after all, I am not a serious Taoist disciple, but a fourth-grade wild Taoist priest. That’s all. If I want to go up, I have to rely on the help of you, the chief executive.”

Before Qi Xuansu could speak, Xiao Yin suddenly became energetic and said, "You're not even taller than me, I'm already a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest."

Qi Xuansu looked at Xiao Yin, "Yin Dabai, you were very active today. Did you take the wrong medicine? Have you ever taken the major exam? You didn't even finish the course at Wanxiang Taoist Palace. You are called Xingjin."

"I don't care, I earned it through my military exploits." Xiao Yin said, "I also fought bravely to kill the enemy."

Qi Xuansu said, "Yes, you fought bravely and were beaten by the monsters in Fenglinzhou until you screamed."

Xiao Yin pulled Qiniang's sleeve and asked Qiniang for help, "Qiniang, look at him."

Qiniang had no choice but to say, "Tianyuan, it's almost done. Why bother with the child? I think you are getting better as you live."

Qi Xuansu returned to the topic, "Actually, I am short of manpower. Although I have many subordinates, they are just subordinates. I can't even talk about real confidants. Xiaohu, if you can come and help me, then

I welcome it with both hands. "

Xiao Yin added, "Me too."

Qi Xuansu ignored her and looked at Liuhu: "Xiaohu, what do you think?"

Liu Hu said softly, "I am willing to follow Uncle Qi's arrangements."

Qi Xuansu said, "Very good, I will take you to see Palace Master Zhang tomorrow, because Master Qingwei is my immediate boss, so there are many things that I cannot come forward for. Palace Master Zhang has to come forward, and Palace Master Zhang cannot be bypassed for this matter." But before that, you have to explain the situation to me. When Qiniang said that I couldn't intervene, I didn't ask deeply. Now that I can finally intervene, I have to ask. "

Liu Hu nodded and said, "My adoptive father's name is Liu Shiying. He was originally a director of the branch branch of Jiangnan Daofu, and he was also a subordinate of my biological father Fang Linhou. The first major Jiangnan case, in addition to the embezzlement of Dao In addition to government assets, it also involved smuggling and reselling. The participants jointly established a joint-stock company, and each participant held a different number of shares based on their status and contribution, and then distributed dividends according to the shares.”

"The final result of the first major Jiangnan case ended with my biological father Fang Linhou being sentenced to death. On the surface, Fang Linhou was identified as the mastermind behind the scenes. In fact, this was not the case. Fang Linhou was only promoted. The abandoned son who came out. He only had about 25% of the shares in his hands, and Fang Linhou had already had a premonition, so he gave the 25% of the shares to my adoptive father in advance and asked my adoptive father to take me away. Leave blood to the Fang family. It's not that Fang Linhou doesn't want his other children to escape, but his other children have been targeted, and only I, the hidden illegitimate daughter, are unknown. "

"However, Fang Linhou did not expect that my adoptive father would also be silenced by those people in advance. Because it was not suicide but homicide, the Taoist government did not hold my adoptive father responsible. Before his death, my adoptive father transferred the 25% of the shares to He gave me the certificate and asked my adoptive father to take me away. Without this certificate, the money could not be withdrawn, so those people have been looking for me for these years, and this is why my adoptive father met with something unexpected. He has successfully escaped from danger and is going to join me in Liaodong. It was someone inside the Qingping Society who betrayed him, so he was attacked on the way. Qiniang has already dealt with this traitor. "

"In addition to this voucher, there is also an account book. After all, the two and a half percent of the shares are not owned by Fang Linhou alone, but also involve other people. Secondary dividends must be distributed every year based on the account flow, so we have this account book. The original copy of the ledger has been destroyed, and this is the copy that my adoptive father left behind.

Some of the people died in the first major Jiangnan case, and some escaped by luck and are still in Jiangnan Province. According to the vouchers and account books, they should be able to be arrested and brought to justice. "
