The Sea Cliff Sect and the Mountain Eagle Sect blamed each other, and even brought the matter to the Wuliang Sword Sect. However, due to the lack of further evidence, the real culprit of this hired murder was still not conclusive in the end.
Although the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is highly suspected, the possibility of corrupt elements jumping over the wall in Luanshicheng Xuantie Mine cannot be ruled out.
The main mineral of Luan Shicheng Xuantie Mine is black iron, which is a necessary material for casting most low-level flying swords. Its value is astonishing. Therefore, the potential amount involved in this mine corruption case is quite huge, even far exceeding that of He Mingyuan's Luoxia City Branch.
The Mouse Barn Case.
Not only that, the handling of this mining corruption case was also full of twists and turns.
Similar to most internal corruption cases of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Yang Lu was able to catch clues to the corruption case at the Xuantie Mine in Luanshicheng, and he also took advantage of the opportunity of the Xuantie Mine manager to report to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to beat him up.
Caught off guard.
However, the manager who came to report on the work at Xuantie Mine was also a ruthless person. Seeing that the corruption case was inevitably exposed, he pretended to fully cooperate with the investigation and actively assisted in recovering the stolen money, but secretly hid the most important transaction account books.
That night, the steward burned the key account books and committed suicide by taking poison on the spot.
It is precisely because of this that although Yang Lu has recovered most of the stolen money from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce corruption case, the whereabouts of the stolen money from the Luanshicheng Xuantie Mine corruption case, which involved the largest amount, is still a mystery.
Considering that the mine manager who reported the work made a decisive decision to commit suicide, the Luanshicheng Mine corruption case was most likely a gang crime.
In other words, there should be other mine managers involved.
The suicide by taking poison and burning the account books were obviously to cover up the whereabouts of the stolen money. When the whereabouts of the huge stolen money were unknown, his accomplices chose to hire Tingheyuge killers to obstruct the handling of the case, which was definitely a very reasonable choice.
If the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce has the best conditions to commit crimes, then the corrupt elements in Luan Shicheng Mine have the best motive to commit crimes.
Due to the successive occurrences of assassinations and the Ascension Conference, Yang Lu has no time to take care of the mining corruption case. Currently, he has handed over the matter to He Mingyuan, the new anti-corruption expert of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, to handle it on his behalf.
Although the real culprit has not yet been confirmed, Yang Lu still used his own strength to maximize the value of this Mountain Eagle sect's standard flying sword.
With this flying sword worth about 2,000 yuan of spiritual stone coins, he cleverly intervened in the power struggle within the Haiya Department as an outsider. Not only did he come into contact with the deepest secrets of the Haiya Department, but he also killed the Han family of Haiya.
He was tied to his own chariot and successfully used the power of the Sea Cliff Faction to put pressure on the Mountain Eagle Faction, forcing the Mountain Eagle Faction to conduct a full-faction search and finally confirm the true identity of the killer.
Compared to secretly blackmailing the Mountain Eagle Faction with this flying sword, although Yang Lu's strategy of killing three birds with one stone did not achieve tangible benefits, the invisible wealth he gained was far beyond what could be compared with thousands of spirit stone coins.
Although his flying sword ruined Jiang Hua'an's plan to suppress Han Xinhe, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to hand over the flying sword, which also prevented the Haiya faction from being passive in public opinion, fully demonstrating the attitude of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce regardless of past suspicions.
With the Qingning Chamber of Commerce's statement to clear up the past feud, it is difficult for Deacon Fang Jiancai of Gongde Hall to continue to use the topic. After all, even the sufferer has chosen to forgive the Haiya faction. As an outsider, Fang Jiancai cannot forcefully stand up for Li Qingning. In the strict sense,
It is said that this can be regarded as a favor sold to Jiang Hua'an.
Regarding the "Qingning Chamber of Commerce"'s general understanding, Jiang Hua'an also reciprocated and praised the Qingning Chamber of Commerce's strong support for the economic and social development of Haiya City in public.
Before Yang Lu came to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, it could be said that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was besieged on all sides: outside, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce instigated the Haiya Clan to press forward step by step, and there were corrupt elements inside who were trying to make money crazily; but after just two months, Qingning
The Chamber of Commerce has won the support of two different factions within the Haiya Clan externally, and internally it has almost uprooted the corrupt elements.
In Li Qingning's opinion, Yang Lu's ability to turn decay into something magical is even more magical than a cultivator's spells.
Originally, according to Yang Lu's plan, the next step was to take action against the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce and the corrupt elements in Luanshi City. However, the arrival of the Immortal Ascension Conference forced these matters to be put on hold for the time being.
According to the arrangements of the Haiya Sect, the entire Immortal Ascension Conference will be held for ten consecutive days.
All immortal seekers will be divided into groups of 100 by the staff, and they will enter the Haiya Sect's Immortal Ascension Hall in batches for spiritual root testing. The grouping principle is basically based on the place of origin of the immortal seekers.
Yang Lu and Murong were both suspicious people whose origins were unclear. In theory, they were not allowed to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference. However, Li Qingning was very concerned about this matter and directly recommended them to seek immortality in the name of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.
.
It's funny, until before registering for the Ascension Conference, Li Qingning thought that Yang Lu and Murong were long-lost siblings, and that Yang Lu was a business talent specially recommended by Jiang Hua'an to help her.
It wasn't until the assassination incident occurred and Jiang Hua'an personally went to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to express condolences and asked Li Qingning face to face who the young man who was accompanying her was that Li Qingning realized that something was wrong.
After being questioned about his identity by Li Qingning on the spot, Yang Lu did not want to deceive this innocent young lady, so he confessed to her that he was not a business talent in the city lord's palace, but a paper gunner sent by the Golden Blade Sect to help her, and that meeting Murong was just a coincidence.
.
He originally thought that Li Qingning would definitely lose his temper because of this incident. But he didn't expect that Li Qingning just said "So that's how it is" and let it pass easily, and then acted as if nothing happened, without the usual break-up.
The curious attitude of the casserole to ask the truth.
Li Qingning's magnanimous reaction actually made Yang Lu feel embarrassed and asked her repeatedly if she was really not angry.
Faced with this straight man's questioning, Li Qingning showed a rare expression of shame and irritation, and made it clear, "I'm really not angry, but if you keep asking like this, I will be really angry."
This weird reaction made Yang Lu even more worried!
So he specially entrusted Butler Zhou to come in and ask some insinuations on his behalf.
Through Butler Zhou's feedback, Yang Lu finally understood the eldest lady's true thoughts.
It turns out that Li Qingning didn't know that she had run the Chamber of Commerce into a mess. She actually knew very well that without Yang Lu, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce might have been ruined by now.
In this case, no matter how much he thought, Yang Lu could not come here specifically to harm her.
But Miss Li is born with the kind of late-stage arrogant disease who wants to save face. It is definitely impossible to admit in front of Yang Lu that she is a loser in running a chamber of commerce. She can only pretend to be angry and send him away...
Yang Lu was satisfied after learning the truth and no longer poked the eldest lady's pain points in front of her face.
After learning that Yang Lu and Murong could not produce legal identity certificates, Li Qingning personally helped them forge birth certificates and falsely claimed that they were his distant cousins.
Although the fake identity of this distant relative of the Li family is very nonsense, after all, Li Qingning's face is there, and with Han Fu coming to help smooth the relationship, the Haiya City Lord's Palace pinched its nose and recognized the identity of these two immortal seekers.
legality.
Since their official status was "Children of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce," the two of them were placed in the same group as the immortal seekers from the other major chambers of commerce in Haiya City, and participated in the spiritual root test on the last day of the Immortal Ascension Conference.
