    Cao Benshu admired Fan Hongjing very much.

    However, Fan Hongjing's account books disappointed Cao Benshu.  Most of the contents in the account book can be found out by comparing the transactions of the companies, but it is more troublesome and time-consuming.

    Which officials took the dirty money and how to distribute it is the key to the investigation, but Fan Hongjing never got it.  All clues to the case were cut off because of Chen Xianchun's suicide.

    Wang Cai was promoted, but he pleaded not guilty, and there was no evidence that he made money.  As for the officials at the top, there is no way to investigate, unless everyone is arrested and tortured-this will lead to indiscriminate hunting, resulting in unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and even the expansion of cases.  "Still no money was found," Cao Benshu asked.

    The anti-corruption officer in charge of the search said, "I dug Wang's house three feet into the ground and only found a few hundred silver dollars. I am afraid that the dirty silver is stored in private banks, and it does not use formal accounts, and there is no access certificate. It is impossible to find out."  .'

    Cao Benshu frowned, no dirty money was found, no evidence of corruption was found, and even the gangster suspected of murder disappeared without a trace.  Such a big case can only be investigated to Chen Xianchun who committed suicide in fear of crime.

    In his last letter, Fan Hongjing said that Wang Cai wanted to drag him into the water.  But the person is dead, and there is no basis for his words, so Wang Cai can completely dismiss it.  "Just check the account ten years ago!" Cao Benshu said.

    Ten years ago, Wang Cai was still a petty official. He personally handled the customs duties, and if there were any problems, he could be convicted.

    However, everyone was embarrassed. The old account ten years ago had to be compared with the account books of the general department, suppliers, foreign traders, and shipping department, transaction by transaction.  Some firms closed down, some changed their careers, and some went to other provinces to do business. The workload was simply killing people.  Moreover, those officials of the Municipal Bureau of Shipping who were investigated all said that corruption was relatively restrained at the beginning.  Ten years ago, the old account, even if the problem is found, is a small amount, and the officials at that time were not so rampant.  "Cao Jin, the case has progressed"

    Just when Cao Benshu was frowning, the interrogation of Chen Xianchun's family members suddenly had a new breakthrough.

    Chen Xianchun was an official in Shanghai, so he did not bring his wife, but only his second son, who had committed suicide, and a few relatives of the same clan who worked in the old house.  Most of those close friends didn't know what to ask, and the only valid information they provided was that Chen Xianchun liked to associate with certain people.  Officials and businessmen who often interacted with Chen Xianchun had been brought under control at this time, but it was still difficult to find out what the case was.

    The two confidantes of Chen Xianchun's father and son are currently missing. It is not known whether they ran away or were killed and hid their bodies.  There is an orchid standing under the hall, whose name is Haitang.

    Cao Benshu asked, "You said that the day before Chen Xianchun and his son committed suicide, a stranger came to visit unexpectedly."

    "It was around four o'clock in the afternoon," Haitang recalled. "My son (the second son of Chen Xianchun) was going home in a carriage. When he turned the corner, someone got into the carriage suddenly, which surprised me." Cao Benshu asked "  Why didn't the coachman say he saw someone?"

    Haitang explained, "The man avoided the driver, climbed directly to the rear of the car, and said in a low voice, 'It's me'. After hearing this, the young master opened the small door at the back of the car, put the man into the carriage, and asked the driver to drive the carriage away.  Backyard. When we got to the backyard, the young master dismissed the entourage and the coachman, and asked the entourage to invite the master as well." "You were there at the time," Cao Benshu asked.

    Haitang said, "No, the young master asked me to go back to my room to rest. After more than half an hour, the young master came back to my courtyard, sighed and asked my concubine to get the wine, and then drank in the courtyard by myself." "After drinking the wine, do it again."  What?" Cao Benshu asked.

    Haitang said: "After drinking, the young master went to the master's side. When I woke up the next day, I found out that both the master and the young master had committed suicide. Cao Benshu asked again, "Your young master, do you usually say any nonsense or strange things?"

    Haitang said: "One month ago, the young master was suddenly depressed, so he asked his concubine to dance for him. That night, the young master had a nightmare, and some of the words in his sleep were inaudible, but one sentence was 'Don't kill me'."

    A month ago, when Cao Benshu was about to arrive in Shanghai, "Did anyone call out his name?" Cao Benshu asked.  "No," Haitang shook her head, and added, "Maybe she shouted, but I didn't hear clearly." Cao Benshu asked, "Do you remember what the stranger who got into the carriage that day looked like?"

    Haitang said, "Wearing Taoist robes and a big hat. The brim of the hat covers the nose, and only the mouth and chin can be seen. By the way, he has a big beard, and he also has whiskers on his cheeks."

    Cao Benshu fell silent for a moment, feeling that the clue was about to be cut off again.

    This person can cover his face with the brim of his hat, which shows that he is deliberately hiding his appearance.  Then his beard may have been glued on on purpose.  Cao Benshu asked again, "How tall is it?"

    Haitang said, "He stooped into the car, and even bent his head down after sitting down. It's not easy to see how tall he is."It existed in Datong Bank, and it didn't take long for it to die suddenly.  After reading Fan Hongjing's last letter, Cao Benshu took control of Wu Wengang's family to investigate and interrogated all relevant personnel.  The make-up teacher of the Wu family was also questioned due to frequent visits, but no one suspected that there was something wrong with the teacher.

    Cao Benshu personally led people to kill Du Xingxue. Du Xingxue was drinking alone.  Cao Benshu sneered, "Isn't Mr. Du seriously ill in bed?" "I have a slight illness, but I have recovered." Du Xingxue said.  Cao Benshu said, "Take two steps to see."

    Du Xingxue didn't have a weak foot, but broke a bone in a fall.  He suddenly sighed with emotion, "As expected of the Inspectorate, the Inspectorate of the new dynasty is more powerful than the former Inspectorate. The accounts of the Shibai Division for the past ten years, as well as the profit-sharing accounts of many officials, are all in the big box in my study."  I have only one request, I am willing to obey the law, but when my wife and children are exiled, it is best to be exiled to Maerza (Markang). I have inquired about it, and there is not too much suffering.¡± That¡¯s it.

    Cao Benshu couldn't believe it, "What are you doing in Chen's house?"

    Du Xingxue said, "Father and son of the Chen family have been refusing to commit suicide for a long time, so I can only persuade them in person. These two wretches are greedy for money more than anyone else. They don't know how to pretend to be poor, but they are afraid of death when things happen."  Are you from Wang Cai?" Cao Benshu asked.

    "He's not worthy yet," Du Xingxue pointed at the roof, "My master has already been transferred to Nanjing, you guys are so proud of yourself this time." Cao Benshu said, "Who is it?"

    Du Xingxue said with a smile: "Your Excellency, why bother to ask again, I'm afraid you have already guessed it in your heart. Ten years ago, he worked as a shipping secretary in Shanghai, and now he is working in the central government. There is only one person.

    "Just him," Cao Benshu confirmed.  Duchenne's "Who else"

    Cao Benshu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time said disdainfully, "A Zuo Shilang, you can only talk about the sky, you are a little sitting and watching the sky." Du Xingxue laughed and said: "In Cao Yushi's eyes, the Zuo Shilang is not high enough.  .But the adoptive parents of the Zuo Shilang are the parents of Mr. Fei Ge (Fei Chun). Do you still dare to find out?".

    Cao Benshu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's not talk about old Fei Ge, it's the emperor's relatives. I'll check to the bottom! Arrest people. Find the account books!?
