He happened to touch Liang Quanbin's wound, and he took the opportunity to start his accusations.
"Ever since I arrived in Jinling City, I discovered that the Zhu family was plotting against us. They repeatedly tampered with the official grain confiscated by the Cao Yun Si, which is why I designed to catch them all in one net. Unexpectedly, I discovered they had private connections with Duke Wei Guo. It was also because I was careless for a moment that I was discovered by Duke Wei Guo's hidden agents, which is why I have been repeatedly assassinated."
After speaking, he exposed his injuries to Bai Chao'an. Indeed, his old wounds had not healed, and new ones had been added.
It was horrifying to look at.
Bai Chao'an said angrily, "Is there no law in Jinling City? They dare to be so ruthless to a second-rank official of the court! Where is Brother Liang's evidence? I am here this time for the Southwest disaster relief. If the progress is delayed by these corrupt officials, I will make them pay dearly."
After saying this, his eyes were filled with indignation.
The imperial envoy's arrival might also involve secret instructions from His Majesty.
Liang Quanbin was already on the verge of launching his arrow, so he did not delay further and directly presented the evidence he had "collected."
Of course, the part he was involved in had been completely erased, making it difficult for Bai Chao'an to investigate.
Bai Chao'an never expected that Liang Quanbin would hide the evidence within the county magistrate's yamen.
Logically, such important items should be kept in a secret place or close to him.
No wonder this man could hold the position of Dali Si Qing for so long and even climb up to the Wei family through his son's marriage. Truly a skillful move.
After obtaining the evidence, all the official grain handled by the Wei family over the years was clearly recorded.
Even the time, place, and amount delivered were all written down in black and white.
Before Bai Chao'an arrived, Feng Hai had given him a ledger of the Ministry of Revenue's official grain payments for each year.
To prevent any accidents, he had been memorizing it all the way. After he had completely memorized it, he burned the ledger to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for Feng Hai.
At this moment, when he compared it with the evidence provided by Liang Quanbin, he realized.
The corruption in the Cao Yun Si had reached such a severe extent!
Everyone said that Liang Zhe was prosperous, not only being the granary of Da Jin but also having many wealthy and fertile families. This ledger indeed showed that this was not an exaggeration.
"Brother Liang, rest assured. His Majesty has also sent General Meng along this time. With him here, your safety should be guaranteed."
Liang Quanbin nodded. After all, he was an important witness in the Cao Yun Si corruption case. Since General Meng was a confidant of His Majesty, he would naturally not let anything happen to him.
As long as he returned to Dongdu City, he would definitely bring down the Wei family!
To avenge Cai Ju!
Thinking of this, the hatred in his heart was hard to quell!
He handed the person over to General Meng and briefly explained the corruption case.
Although General Meng was a military man, he had been by His Majesty's side for many years and had a clear understanding of the court's situation.
Although they were dealing with the Wei family this time, they were actually dealing with the Ninth Prince.
He was not sure if His Majesty was truly deeply wary of the Ninth Prince, so this matter was somewhat difficult.
He could not let Liang Quanbin die, nor could he truly send him back to Dongdu City through his hands.
Otherwise, if the snake was not killed and it turned back to bite him, Bai Chao'an had Prime Minister Bai to protect him, but what about him?
He might just be a scapegoat!
Therefore, he was not foolish. While outwardly agreeing wholeheartedly, he secretly sent an urgent secret letter to Dongdu City for His Majesty's personal perusal.
After his arranged secret agents set off for Dongdu City, Su Cheng, who had been hiding, revealed a cunning smile.
The Wei family and the Ninth Prince were already gradually making His Majesty wary. Now, with this additional charge, they would be stripped bare even if they didn't die!
What was most important to him now was to investigate the backgrounds of the two people in the Cao Yun Si who were connected to Qingzhou!
As for Liang Quanbin's safety, that was General Meng's responsibility.
With the evidence submitted by Liang Quanbin, coupled with the evidence left by Prince Ding and the evidence seized by the Chi family from the Zhu family.
Soon, the entire Cao Yun Si was shaken.
Wasn't this imperial envoy here to transport grain and provide disaster relief?
Why did he start digging up old accounts, and so accurately!
Several key officials were arrested one after another. Under severe torture, how could they not reveal the truth?
Thus, in less than ten days, officials in the entire Jinling City were trembling, and everyone was in a state of self-preservation.
Being in their positions, how could they not have been involved in corruption? It was just a matter of more or less.
Bai Chao'an, a name they had never heard of before, how could he be so ruthless and swift!
Many people secretly expressed their willingness to hand over the money they had embezzled over the years, just hoping to be spared.
Unfortunately, although Bai Chao'an did not have Prime Minister Bai's boldness, he was impartial and ruthless when he needed to be.
Therefore, some of them, driven to desperation, began to hire top assassins from the martial world to take Bai Chao'an's life!
If the imperial envoy died, they would have some breathing room.
Therefore, they became even more ruthless.
Su Cheng was bandaging his wounds in the backyard. This was the third time he had been injured in the past few days.
If it weren't for the sufficient number of hidden guards from Prince Ding's mansion in Jinling City, they would not have been able to cope.
Therefore, during the day, Feng Jinlin stayed by Bai Chao'an's side.
And at night, he led people to guard, not daring to miss any slightest disturbance.
General Meng also kept a close eye on Liang Quanbin, almost as if he were tied to his belt.
He had never expected such a situation to arise when he came to Jinling City. If he had known, he would have brought at least double the number of elite soldiers.
That night, not long after Liang Quanbin fell asleep, he felt something was wrong.
He always felt that someone was watching him from the shadows. He was now the target of public criticism. Ever since he exposed Duke Wei Guo's corruption, he should not expect to escape smoothly.
Especially the hidden agent who had tried to assassinate him before but failed had not yet appeared.
If he knew he was still alive, he would definitely not let him go.
As expected, when a person is in danger, intuition is more accurate than anything.
Suddenly feeling a strong gust of wind, he immediately threw the porcelain bottle he had hidden at it.
The person, not expecting him to throw something, slashed with his saber. With a crackling sound, the porcelain bottle shattered into pieces.
"Help! Save me!"
Liang Quanbin, while desperately throwing things, tried to reach the door.
Unfortunately, his broken leg had not yet recovered its flexibility, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Hmph, this time, even if you have nine lives, I will send you to see the King of Hell!"
The person's saber was aimed at his neck, clearly intending to sever his head.
Liang Quanbin was so scared that he wet his pants, thinking that he could not escape this time.
