In the area of railway operation, whether it is income or expenditure, there are too many places that can be faked, and as long as these guys who hold the real power at the top are all colluded together, then they are fully capable of making fake accounts the same as the real ones, so as to embezzle a lot of money into their own pockets.

After listening to Chen Xiaoer's report, Yang Guozhong was also surprised, he owned the monopoly industry given to him by Li An, and he had made a lot of money in recent years, but he didn't expect that these guys in the Luoyang Railway Branch were greedy for so much money from the imperial court, almost more than his industry, which made him very angry and made him very uncomfortable.

"If what you said is true, they have been greedy for three million yuan this year, and the profits they have reported to the imperial court this year, including those that have not been reported this month, totaled about six thousand, which is a difference of five hundred times! How bold it must be to be greedy for so much money! ”

Yang Guozhong said in surprise.

He has always known that the railway bureau is a fat water yamen, but he did not expect that it would be fat to such an astonishing extent, much fatter than he imagined, of course, although there is a lot of money in the greedy ink, but it does not belong to one person, but there are more than a dozen people who occupy it together, among them, the bigger the official, the more money they get, and the small official can only get less money, as for those who have no real power, such as Chen Xiaoer, they can't share a penny of gray income.

Of course, a very important reason why the Luoyang Railway Branch was able to share so much money was because of the large scale of this branch and its location as a transportation hub.

The larger scale refers to the Luoyang Railway Branch, which is not only a place to manage the Luoyang City Railway Station, but also includes the railway stations in the surrounding cities of Luoyang City.

As for the location of the hub, not to mention, Luoyang City is at the crossroads of Datang traffic, and the traffic lines in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest must converge in Luoyang City, so that the traffic here is extremely busy, and railway transportation is no exception.

"Imperial History, if Your Majesty knew that a small Luoyang Railway Branch could be greedy for so much money, it would definitely be extremely shocking, and as long as this case is handled well, Imperial History will definitely be a great achievement, and it will never be a problem for the right minister."

Chen Xiaoer said slyly.

Obviously, this Chen Xiaoer also did his homework, knowing that Yang Guozhong was the most promising to be promoted to the right minister, but because of some small reasons, he did not take the position in time, he understood all this very clearly, after all, Datang Daily is a nationwide publication, after being printed and distributed in Chang'an City, in addition to supplying the city, many newspapers and periodicals must be transported to all parts of the country through railway channels, including Luoyang City, in this way, Chen Xiaoer can naturally see Datang Daily, but it is slightly later than the audience in Chang'an City to get the news.

And since he read the Datang Daily, he naturally knew what Yang Guozhong had encountered, and after some simple conjectures, he could understand the general situation of the matter, so he dared to come to ask for help.

"If these people are really greedy for ink so much, as the imperial history, this official will never sit idly by, and it is the duty of this official to serve the imperial court."

Yang Guozhong put on a look of serving the country and the people, paused for a moment, stared at Chen Xiaoer, and said: "You took such a big risk, and even got your wife and mother, what do you want?" Go ahead! ”

Obviously, through this conversation, Yang Guozhong already knew that the guy in front of him was not a good person, and he was simply angry because he couldn't get a little gray income, so he took the risk, it was not worth taking such a big risk just to retaliate, so Yang Guozhong knew that the guy in front of him would definitely ask for something.

Chen Xiaoer was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Serving the imperial court is what the lower officials should do, and the lower officials have nothing to ask for, but if the lower officials can be put in charge of the Luoyang Railway Branch, then the lower officials will definitely do their best to serve the imperial court, and will never let the imperial court suffer such a huge loss again." ”

After speaking, he looked at Yang Guozhong expectantly.

When Yang Guozhong heard this, he paused slightly, feeling that the kid in front of him was really ambitious, and he wanted such a big official with one mouth, if it was really realized, the demand in the future would be bigger and bigger, maybe this kid still wanted to be the prime minister?

Of course, Yang Guozhong doesn't have to worry about this, because this guy looks a little too ugly, and he has no foundation in the imperial court, and there is no assistant in the palace, if he wants to climb to a high place, it is almost impossible, even if he is able to achieve such a high status with the help of the concubine, if there is no concubine, he can only be a petty official, and it is absolutely impossible to have the opportunity to be crowned prime minister.

In addition, even if this impeachment can be successful, Chen Xiaoer will offend many people, and there will inevitably be many people who hate him, so it is difficult to live safely, let alone be promoted step by step.

"Very good, you must be tired from the long journey! Then have a good rest! For your safety, if you can't stay in a guest room, let's go to the deserted courtyard on the left! Where is quiet, usually no one comes in or out, absolutely safe. ”

Yang Guozhong opened his mouth and said.

"Xie Yang Yushi, the lower officials listen to you."

Chen Xiaoer said flatteringly.

Yang Guozhong stood up, walked outside, beckoned his subordinates to take Chen Xiaoer to rest, and pointed out that he should live in a deserted courtyard to prevent too many people from being mixed and bringing variables to this matter.

After completely probing the bottom, Yang Guozhong felt that although Chen Xiaoer was not a good person, he could definitely take advantage of it, and use this Chen Xiaoer to impeach a cadre of the Luoyang Railway Branch, and then win political benefits for himself.

The specific means of operation, Yang Guozhong also considered it very clearly, that is, he can't involve himself too much, in order to prevent things from going smoothly, between him and Chen Xiaoer, he must find someone to come out, let this person become the bridge between himself and Chen Xiaoer, so that even if Chen Xiaoer is unfavorable, he can also push things cleanly.

Yang Guozhong and his confidants consulted together, they were thinking about the whole process of the matter, and almost every process had to be thought through clearly, because any small mistake could cause serious consequences.

"Ah Lang is an important minister of the imperial court, if he personally introduces Chen Xiaoer to His Majesty, it seems a little inappropriate, it is better to bring Jing Zhaoyin in! It is more appropriate to let Xian Yu Zhongtong come forward. ”

The henchman servant said.

Yang Guozhong also felt that it made sense, so he nodded in agreement: "Xian Yu Zhongtong? Yes, he is Jing Zhaoyin, and it is most appropriate for him to come forward, so it's decided, go and invite Jing Zhaoyin. ”

Although this matter needs to be carefully planned, but it can not be delayed for too long, it is still necessary to do things well as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the greater the variables, and the closer the New Year, the data of various departments are also statistically up.

It didn't take long for Xian Yu Zhongtong to come, he once funded Yang Guozhong, and his status and identity were higher than Yang Guozhong, but it was a pity that he didn't have a cousin like a flower, and now, he can only be under Yang Guozhong, and the status gap with Yang Guozhong is not ordinarily big, before Yang Guozhong needs to look up to him, and at this moment, he is almost Yang Guozhong's follower, in many aspects of government and politics, as long as Yang Guozhong says something, he agrees with what, Yang Guozhong has been waving his flag and shouting, if not, It will not be able to run from Shuzhong to the capital as an official, and he is still very popular Jing Zhaoyin, this official position is very important, and he is the highest official in Chang'an City.

"What is the Imperial History looking for me?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong ran over anxiously and asked.

Although they are superiors and subordinates, because they are very close, many polite words do not need to be said, so as not to waste precious time.

Yang Guozhong then truthfully informed Xian Yu Zhongtong about Chen Xiaoer, they were cronies, there was nothing that could not be said, and he was not worried that Xian Yu Zhongtong would betray him.

"A small Luoyang Railway Branch, how can it be so greedy? It can't be this Chen Xiaoer's nonsense! ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong listened to Yang Guozhong's words, his eyes were about to pop out, he didn't believe it was true at all, because this money was too much, you know, before Li An initiated industrialization, the Tang Empire's annual financial income was only 30 million yuan, and the Luoyang City Railway Branch, a small part, in a year's time, can be greedy for so much money, which is really surprising.

Touching his chin, Xian Yu Zhongtong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, his chin was still on his body and he didn't lose it.

Although this Chen Xiaoer is not a good stubble, he swore that he absolutely did not lie, and he said that he got the account book, so it shouldn't be fake! Moreover, his request was to meet His Majesty, and if he dared to deceive His Majesty, a hundred heads would not be enough to cut off. ”

Yang Guozhong opened his mouth and said.

Obviously, he felt that no matter how much Chen Xiaoer was a bastard, he would not dare to deceive the emperor, since he said that he had stolen the account book, he had really stolen the account book, and as long as there was an account book, he couldn't exaggerate it.

"It seems that this is true, my good man, they are too corrupt, more than three million yuan! My family is one of the richest families in Shu, but they don't have so many assets! ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong said with a heavy face, he is a famous and rich man in Shu, he can be said to have a lot of money, he has never been short of money, and he has never taken money to heart, but when he heard that the Luoyang Railway Branch was greedy for three million yuan a year, he was not calm at once, this number is too big, big enough to attract his attention.

"Haha! There are actually times when you are surprised by Zhongtong, thinking that back then, you funded me 300 times as soon as you made a move, and you really didn't blink an eyelid! ”

Yang Guozhong remembered the past, at the beginning, when he went to the capital from Shuzhong, Xian Yu Zhongtong had funded him, and he was three hundred times a shot, which was a big deal, thinking back on these past events, he felt that he seemed to be much younger.

"Yushi told me about this matter, is he asking me to come forward and introduce Chen Xiaoer to His Majesty?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong seemed to understand something and spoke.

Yang Guozhong nodded and said: "That's right, it's not appropriate for the official to come forward in person, you are Jing Zhaoyin, it is most suitable for you to come forward, of course, the official will also help from the side, and will not let you go to see Your Majesty alone." ”

Obviously, Yang Guozhong still wants to take this credit, but he also knows how to share and avoid risks, pull Xian Yu Zhongtong out, he will have one more shield, in case Chen Xiaoer is falsely accused, someone in front of him will give him the blame, at least than he personally took Chen Xiaoer to see the emperor, the risk is much smaller, and in case things go well, he is not afraid that Xian Yu Zhongtong will share the fruits of victory with him, after all, this is also his henchmen, and it is natural to bring his own henchmen, and there is nothing worth saying.

Now that Yang Guozhong has made it clear, where does Xian Yu Zhongtong dare to object, and he also feels that Chen Xiaoer does not have the courage to deceive him, such a good opportunity for meritorious service, of course, cannot be missed, as for offending people, it is unavoidable, if you are afraid of offending people, you don't need to be an official, it is estimated that the enemy should hate Chen Xiaoer more.

"Since it's all agreed, then let's do it, Chen Xiaoer will live in my house, and tomorrow morning, we will enter the palace together."

Yang Guozhong said.

Xian Yu Zhongtong nodded and said: "I will listen to the arrangement of the imperial history, and my subordinates will retire." ”

After arranging this matter properly, Yang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief, he had been depressed during this time, he would definitely not miss such a good opportunity, and everything would depend on tomorrow.

In order not to let outsiders know that Chen Xiaoer lived in his mansion, Yang Guozhong deliberately arranged him in a deserted courtyard, a courtyard where almost no one would go, and sent his own maid to take care of him.

Unexpectedly, this cowardly Chen Xiaoer mistakenly thought that Yang Guozhong asked the maids to serve him, including the bed, but as soon as he finished eating, he pressed the maid on the couch and carried out a rude ravage.

Although the maid struggled hard to get rid of Chen Xiaoer's indecency, the woman's strength was very limited after all, and there was no one in the entire courtyard, and she was ruined by Chen Xiaoer before she struggled a few times.

"Cry, cry! Yushi asked you to come and serve me, of course I can't brush off the beauty of Yushi, if I develop in the future, I will definitely propose to Yushi, let him give you to me, rest assured, my Wang Xiaoer will definitely be soaring in the future, and I can't lose money. ”

Seeing that the maid had been crying, Chen Xiaoer proudly persuaded him.

He didn't expect that the maid sent by Yushi was still a young girl without **, which made him so happy, and the concubines he married back after spending a lot of money before were not chicks.
