After she learned the details from the people around her, she originally wanted to leave immediately.
But when Shen He was about to turn around, she caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye and stopped.
Looking at the beautiful girl in a gorgeous dress with black stockings on her legs, Shen He stood there and looked at her seriously.
"Have you collected the account books?"
Keqing is very majestic when performing her tasks.
Although her figure is slightly petite, her aura is unquestionable.
"Yes! Lady Keqing."
The Qianyan Army below was full of energy and was also infected by Keqing's momentum.
"Lord Yuhengxing! Please wait a moment! I think there seems to be some misunderstanding here!"
A businessman nearby wanted to run over to talk, but was ruthlessly stopped outside by the Qianyan Army.
The cold spears crossed in front of him, the sharp blades reflecting cold light in the sun. The merchant swallowed and dared not move forward.
He was afraid that if he moved forward, the other party would stab him directly with a spear.
He felt that his fat belly could not withstand such an attack.
Keqing ignored the merchant begging for mercy and instructed Yujingtai's secretary to sort out the account books.
"Lord Keqing, we have sorted out the account books and catalogs."
"What's the specific situation?"
Keqing asked.
The secretary next to him said, "This guy bribed... the key personnel above him and falsified many accounts during the transaction. Now they are investigating the amount of the underreporting. Also, the land under his name is not normal."
"Not normal?"
Keqing asked doubtfully.
"Yes, there are thousands of acres more. According to the regulations, even if they have a working workshop under their name, this does not comply with the regulations."
After hearing what her secretary said, Keqing fell silent.
She suddenly remembered something Qin An had said to her by chance before.
With the development and rise of capital, land annexation is bound to happen, and the landlord class that emerges at this time will cause great harm to the entire social structure.
If they are not stopped in time, they will grow into giants.
It was already very early when Qin An said this, and Keqing didn't have any major feelings at that time.
After all, Liyue’s current prosperity is based on commercial prosperity.
In Keqing's original view, the activeness of merchants was a good thing.
Although the merchants do not engage in irregular behavior, she believes that as long as supervision is in place, these irregularities can be changed.
However, as the changes progressed, Keqing discovered that many corrupt things were going on in many invisible places.
If she hadn't thoroughly investigated this guy, she wouldn't have known that the people in Yujingtai would do this.
and!
Keqing's job is to manage the land of Liyue, and she had never noticed similar problems before.
Most people may not understand the dangers of land annexation that Qin An mentioned, but she does.
If that really happens... then Liyue will evolve into that kind of capital form, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"Put him in jail, seize all his properties, and collect the evidence so I can personally interrogate him. We must also thoroughly investigate the reasons for the extra land and register it properly. No process can be sloppy!"
Keqing's voice was stern.
"Yes! Lord Yuhengxing."
The secretary under him also left solemnly.
When the people watching the fun saw that guy being captured by the Qianyan Army, they started celebrating.
After seeing the genuine joy on people's faces, Keqing did not feel happy too. Instead, she felt heavy-hearted.
It is not difficult to tell from the looks of the people that this guy has exploited the ordinary people around him when running his business, otherwise the people would not appear so happy. It is clear from their looks that everyone has been harboring grievances for a long time...but they just don't dare to say it out loud.
Maybe some people would resist, but Keqing understood that even if some individuals stood up in resistance, this guy would use his connections to deal with them.
Naturally, no one else dared to say anything more.
The biggest thought of ordinary people is to live in comfort, and not everyone has the courage to fight.
After all, life is stressful enough as it is.
Chapter 115: Conversation between Keqing and Shenhe
The once invincible businessman was taken away by the Qianyan Army.
Keqing stayed behind to handle the subsequent matters. After finding out about the annexed land, Keqing couldn't help but show some anger on her pretty face.
Many accounts show that this guy's methods in the merger process were not fair, and he basically forced the other party to let go.
It’s not that ordinary people didn’t resist, but in this process, the strength of individual resistance was easily covered up.
Now that we have accumulated so much, we have learned some clues from Yujingtai, which led to today's trial.
The result was a surprise for Liyue's top management, but no one was happy about this surprise.
It seems that the danger that Qin An mentioned has already been lurking inside Liyue.
Keqing sighed inwardly and prepared to go back to discuss the relevant matters with Ningguang.
Keqing was about to leave but stopped halfway. She frowned and looked at the crowd.
She knew that many onlookers were looking at her, but her sixth sense told her that one gaze was particularly noticeable.
The owner of the gaze had no intention of hiding anything and just stared at her.
After Keqing made eye contact with him, she stood there in a daze.
At the same time, a guilty feeling came over me.
It was the immortal disciple that Qin An brought back home... I think his name was Shen He? !
Hmm...what should I do?
Keqing thought anxiously in her heart.
Shen He just looked at Keqing like that. She did it on purpose, otherwise Keqing wouldn't have noticed her presence.
Shen He's understanding of Keqing was very limited. At first, he only knew that she was very beautiful and had a special temperament.
Later, when Qin An was chatting, he also talked a lot about his good brother.
They said she was loyal, generous, and serious at work... In short, there were a lot of things like that, which Shen He admitted, because as soon as she saw her for the first time, she knew that she was excellent.
But Qin An said that her identity was just an ordinary official staff member.
What now?
He stood there majestically and gave orders.
Anyone who is not a fool can find out from the people around him.
This is Lady Keqing, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Keqing...it turns out her name is not Lao Liu.
But Qin An seemed not to know.
Shen He is very smart and she immediately figured out the key point of the matter.
It seems that Qin An has been in some kind of wrong cognition, and of course the other party has also concealed his identity.
Shen He figured out the reason and turned and left.
Keqing couldn't help but chase after him.
"Lady Keqing?"
The rest of the men were surprised to see Keqing in such a hurry.
"I have some things to take care of, so I'll leave this to you."
Keqing left the scene without having time to explain.
She glanced at the direction Shen He left and chased after him.
In fact, after chasing after him, Keqing was also confused. She didn’t understand why she chased after him. Was it because... she felt guilty?
As for why she felt guilty, she knew the reason best.
His true identity has been kept secret.
Obviously, she had many opportunities to clarify her true position at the beginning, but considering the contrast in identities and Qin An's attitude towards the officials at that time.
Keqing hesitated at that time.
So much so that later on, there was no chance to say it again.
She was afraid that if she told Qin An about it, he would misunderstand that she had deliberately concealed the matter.
In fact, it was not the case. She just chose to deceive herself like this because she was afraid that a rift would arise between the two of them.
From the moment she saw Shen He, Keqing felt like a huge rock was hanging in her heart.
Will she tell Qin An what she just saw?
How will Qin An react when he learns the truth?
Will he... be angry with himself? !
Keqing felt confused.
As the Jade Star of Liyue, Keqing is able to handle her work steadily no matter how busy or complicated it is.
Never worry about anything going wrong.
Now that Shen He had appeared, it had only broken some possibilities, and it had made her feel confused.
Keqing only now realized how much she cared about Qin An.
