Thinking of the seriousness of the consequences, Tao Hongfang took the initiative to remind: "Le Tong, have you ever thought about how to deal with this matter if a big shot is really involved?"
Tao Hongfang deliberately did not mention Shi Diwen, but Bai Letong couldn't understand what he meant, so he responded calmly at the moment: "If there is any evidence, then it should be reported to the Executive Committee, and the Executive Committee will come to decide."
Of course, Bai Letong also knows his own weight, and he is definitely not qualified to compete with local officials like Shi Diwen. If Shi Diwen is involved in this matter, then he can only report the situation to the executive committee, and the executive committee will be responsible. The committee came forward to solve the problem.
Tao Hongfang shook his head slightly and said, "But what if the executive committee considers the overall situation and needs the East China Sea region to maintain stability, and is unwilling to support our investigation, so what?"
"This..." Bai Letong never thought of such a possibility.Before that, he simply believed that as long as his actions were safeguarding the interests of the country, he would definitely be recognized and supported by the Executive Committee.But after Tao Hongfang reminded him, he suddenly realized that people like Shi Diwen couldn't move just by talking.
The East China Sea region governs tens of thousands of square kilometers and has a population of one million. It is one of the most affluent regions in East Asia, and it is also the future central region of the Haihan Empire. It is extremely important for Haihan to keep this region stable. Meaning, the first condition is naturally that the executive committee must maintain trust and support for Shi Diwen.Even if Shi Diwen has some minor flaws in his governance, the executive committee will definitely turn a blind eye and close their eyes for the sake of the overall situation, and will not pursue Shi Diwen's responsibility.
If it weren't for Shi Diwen's full trust, the East China Sea Region would not be able to build advanced equipment such as the Glory-class warship, let alone replace Sanya and become the future seat of the country's capital.
"Whether it will involve a big shot or not, this matter should be investigated!" After all, Bai Letong was not an ordinary person, so he quickly regained his composure and insisted on his point of view: "Now it's just my personal guess, let's see what can happen first." If you can’t find something, let’s talk about it!”
If he didn't try to investigate this matter clearly, Bai Letong would always have doubts about the imperial examination, and it would be difficult for him to cooperate honestly with the people from the township trial office.He stood up, bowed his hands to Tao Hongfang, and said, "Brother Hongfang, please take care of this matter!"
"You and I are responsible for this, and this should be the case." Tao Hongfang did not dare to neglect, and quickly responded: "Then do you have any investigation strategy?"
The two sat down again, and Bai Letong said: "If these people from the township trial really leak the questions, the risk they take can be described as extremely high, and for the sake of confidentiality, it is definitely impossible to spread the question plan on a large scale. Only those who have a very close relationship with them are likely to get the questions in advance. So I think the investigation should start with the family conditions of these people to see if they have children, nephews or the like who are going to participate in this rural examination."
Next to him, Ning Zijing added: "There are also students they accepted before, they also need to investigate."
Tao Hongfang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll arrange this tomorrow."
Bai Letong said: "Do you need me to go with you?"
Tao Hongfang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need for now, it won't be too late for you to come forward when necessary."
Since Tao Hongfang did not take the initiative to explain what channels he intends to use to investigate this matter, it means that it is not appropriate to make it public, and Bai Letong wisely did not pursue further questions.
The next day, Tao Hongfang took his entourage, Apeng, to Hangzhou City in a carriage.
He had carefully read the list provided by his father Tao Donglai the night before, and decided to find a target in Hangzhou to see if he could help him.
In order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, Tao Hongfang got out of the carriage before entering the city, and hired another car after entering the city to go to the destination.
According to the address on the list, they arrived at a shop in the city without any problems. As soon as they got off the car at the door, a clerk came to greet them: "You two guests, please come inside?"
Tao Hongfang nodded, motioning for the man to lead the way.
There is a wooden signboard hanging on the door of this shop, with the words "Shunfeng Xing" written on it.Tao Hongfang is no stranger to this, because this is an old Haihan firm.To be precise, it is a commercial organization specializing in logistics and transportation. It has franchised car and horse dealers and boat dealers. It has branches in many coastal cities in the south. It is unexpected that there are branches in Hangzhou.
Shunfenghang is not a government-run organization, but Tao Hongfang is in the Ministry of Commerce, so he naturally knows some inside information. In fact, several shareholders who founded this firm were senior Haihan officials.
However, he didn't expect that his father was also related to this firm. Based on the internal information he had access to, he had never seen Tao Donglai's name, and he didn't know why there was someone working for him.
Tao Hongfang's master and servant entered the firm, and the waiter saw that he was an extraordinary man, so he didn't dare to neglect him immediately, so he invited Tao Hongfang to a side hall, and then invited another steward to come out to receive them.
The steward was also quite enthusiastic, first ordered the buddy to serve hot tea, and then asked the two of them about their visit.
The list provided by Tao Donglai only contained addresses and names, but no other information, so Tao Hongfang did not know the identity of the person he was looking for here.But when he came, he had already thought of a way, and immediately responded: "I have some goods that need to be transported to the south. Before, my friend had contact with your bank, and we had already talked about it, but now I That friend was in a hurry to return to the south, so he entrusted this matter to my subordinates."
Sure enough, the steward followed his words and asked, "Since that's the case, which steward did you discuss with?"
Tao Hongfang said: "My friend said that it was a person named Xu Wenlin. I wonder if this person is an employee of your bank?"
The steward quickly responded: "It turns out that it is the shopkeeper Xu, please wait a moment for the distinguished guest, and I will invite the shopkeeper Xu here."
Tao Hongfang didn't expect that the person he was looking for was actually the shopkeeper here, and his mentality became much calmer now.Since this person has a certain social status and a stable job, he naturally has a certain degree of reliability.Moreover, this business along the wind requires contact with all kinds of teachings and nine streams. I think this person has various connections, which may really help the investigation work.
A moment later, a middle-aged man hurriedly opened the door and entered, and took the initiative to reveal his identity to Tao Hongfang: "Xu Wenlin, I don't know where you come from, what should you call me?"
Tao Hongfang said in a deep voice, "My surname is Tao. I was appointed by my father to come to Hangzhou from Sanya to do some business."
