Chapter 126: The decay needs to be cleaned up (22 a day, , asking for monthly tickets)

That night,

Wang Hao had a meal with Master Hu at the Wangsheng Hall.

You know what, the food in Wangsheng Hall is really good. It is said that their chef specializes in preparing banquets and his skills are quite good.

After the meal, at the enthusiastic invitation of Master Hu, Wang Hao said goodbye and went home.

When I returned to the poorhouse, a shadow followed me.

The figure of number three emerged.

"How's the investigation going?" Wang Hao pulled out the chair on the desk, sat down, and asked.

Number Three stood not far behind him, half of his body submerged in the shadows.

No. 3 was sent to inform Ningguang before, and Ningguang also agreed to the investigation. Now that more than half a month has passed, it’s time to have results.

"Most of it has been investigated, and the details are all here."

As he spoke, No. 3 handed over a stack of papers.

Wang Hao didn't answer, but asked directly: "Do you think the things in those account books are true?"

Number Three hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Nine out of ten."

These days, she led the people Ningguang gave her to investigate the wealthy families on the bill, and the situation was not good.

It cannot be said that he has no respect for the law, but his extravagance and lust are very obvious.

The basis of extravagance and luxury is massive wealth.

So, where does the wealth of these people come from?

Although most of the wealthy people in Liyue are rich, their Mora can be found out in public.

What kind of business do you do and how much profit do you make in a year?
These can be deduced from the taxation of the General Affairs Department.

But the big spenders we checked today...there is a clear gap between their consumption levels and the levels of taxes they pay.

To put it simply, the income derived from taxes is not enough to support their extravagant lifestyle.

Either they have a lot of gray income, or they evade taxes.

No matter what the reason is, it shows that these big investors are indeed not good people.

"I see."

No. 3's answer made Wang Hao a little sad, but he didn't show any emotion on the surface.
"Number Three, keep a record of all the clans and forces in the account book. Mainly investigate whether they have a way out. Since they choose to rot, we don't have to be polite."

"Investigate the forces they support, their industries in Liyue, and their assets outside of Liyue."

Wang Hao's voice was faint and almost emotionless.

What could be more sad than the fall of one's own people?

He was obsessed with making Liyue strong, but now he realized that the first thing he had to face was the filth within Liyue.

Among these forces, there was even a family with seven stars that was once the pride of Liyue.

They were supposed to inherit the will of the Seven Stars and fight for a strong Liyue, but now they are so rotten that they are eating the casino's money.

It is conceivable that these forces are completely corrupt.

"Keqing is right. The Emperor's power has covered up these problems. As long as the Emperor is here, these problems will not be a problem. The Emperor's power is enough to support Liyue through any crisis. But once the Emperor leaves, these corruption and filth will surely be the knife that severely damages Liyue."

Wang Hao said in his heart.

Some comments even look down on Keqing's concept.

In the eyes of those comments, Keqing’s ideas are very ignorant.

Because Teyvat is a world with gods,

Without the support of the power of the devil, the so-called rule of man is simply a joke.
So these comments think that Keqing is human arrogance.

Wang Hao basically won't refute these comments, because what they said is not wrong, but they also don't understand Keqing.

Keqing's philosophy has never been to break away from the Emperor. As some comments have said, Keqing admires the Emperor very much.

So she just couldn't stand those lazy and corrupt people who were under the protection of the Emperor.

In Keqing's view, these people are lazy and corrupt under the protection of the Emperor, which is actually a blasphemy to the Emperor.

When Liyue was prosperous, they threw all the glory of Liyue to the Emperor.

So, if Liyue declines one day, will these people also throw all the responsibility onto the Emperor?
In the eyes of these people, they no longer have any connection with Liyue, because everything belongs to the Emperor anyway.

This is the attitude that Keqing really dislikes.

That was why she had asked the Emperor during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony whether she could accompany Liyue for the next thousand years, and the next thousand years.

It seems like you are questioning the Emperor, but in fact, you are questioning those who have left everything to the Emperor. If one day the Emperor no longer cares about you, what can you do?
The Emperor understood Keqing's question, so not only did He not get angry, He also chuckled.

The Emperor never said that with his protection, the people of Liyue would not have to struggle.

On the contrary, the Liyue that the Emperor likes was built by those ancient ancestors who followed Him.

The Emperor never takes action against his own people, but that doesn't mean the Seven Stars can't take action against these corrupt things.

"What we need to do is to take the initiative to remove the rotten flesh." Wang Hao thought to himself, "I guess this is what the Emperor would like to see."

For the Emperor, no matter if they are good or bad, just or unjust, as long as they are from Liyue and have not made clear moves to betray or harm Liyue, he will not take action.

Therefore, at this time, Liyue needs to purify itself.

To rule people by people is the true nature of rule by people.

Human rule does not mean abandoning God.

As the comments said, it is really difficult to survive in Teyvat without the protection of God.

But under the protection of God, it is very simple to rule people by people.

Now, Wang Hao asked No. 3 to investigate all these corrupt forces in order to facilitate their cleanup.

"Everyone says Keqing is radical... then why don't I do something even more radical." Wang Hao couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement.

His heart was not at peace either.

The banner of reform needs to be stained with blood,
Why not use the blood of these people?

【I feel that Wang Hao’s expression is so scary.】

【He must be planning something bad. 】

[To be precise, it is something bad for bad people. ]

【You are all responsible for him getting to this point. 】

[I still remember that when I first met Wang Hao, he was so naive.]

[Don't be ridiculous. His innocent expression has deceived so many people.]

【…】

There was a lot of discussion on the barrage.

And Wang Hao still smiled,

In No. 3's perception, a certain aura of his was rising rapidly.

Behind that bright smile, there seemed to be blood and wailing echoing.

After a moment of trance, No. 3 came back to his senses, looked at Wang Hao with some attention, lowered his head subconsciously, and said with a hint of obedience: "Yes, sir."

She felt that she might have followed the right person.

After thinking for a while, Wang Hao put away his smile and asked again:

"By the way, have the people from Yanshang Teahouse returned?"

Although Wang Hao gave the fat boss a month, it didn't mean he trusted the fat boss.
Northland Bank sent people to monitor the fat boss, and Wang Hao also sent people to keep an eye on him.

"I'm back." Number Three clapped his hands, "Number Five."

Another shadow emerged from the corner.
"grown ups."

The same cold voice as number three.

Wang Hao nodded slightly. No. 3 had four death warriors under his command, all of them women, and their sequence started from No. 3 to No. 7.

These assassins were all injured in the previous crackdown on the Fatui and only recently returned to the team.

"how is the situation?"

"Three days later, the target will meet someone from Zhudian Fang and then leave Liyue." No. 5 answered directly.

"Zhudianfang?" Wang Hao hesitated for a moment.
He knew this place, it was a pleasure boat that had been anchored in Yunlai Sea for a long time.
There are many dignitaries and literati there.

The fat boss chose to leave Liyue from the Zhudian Fang, probably because he wanted to use the influence of the Zhudian Fang to avoid the eyes and ears of the Thousand Rocks Army and the Fatui.

"Did he transfer the calligraphy and paintings and other valuables that I left to him?" Wang Hao asked again.

"We will be moving in the next few days." Number Five answered, then she hesitated and continued, "Tonight, the surveillance at the Northland Bank has intensified, and it is very likely that the target will be arrested."

As a professional shadow sorcerer, Number Five's observation skills are sufficient. The intelligence personnel of Northland Bank have increased their surveillance on the fat boss, but they cannot hide it from Number Five.

Hearing this, Wang Hao nodded slightly. This was within his expectations.

It’s been almost a month, and if Northland Bank still hasn’t responded, something is wrong.

The people at Northland Bank are bad, but not stupid, let alone foolish.

The fat boss's actions over the past half month have shown that he is planning to run away.

"Well, then we should take action."

Wang Hao said this, and stretched out his hand. A colorful talisman appeared in his hand.

It was the Hundred Taboos Talisman that was improved with the help of Zhongli.

“It seems a bit too dazzling.”

Looking at the unusual talisman of no taboos, Wang Hao scratched his head, and then his mind moved. The light on the talisman began to disappear, and the bright talisman of no taboos turned dark yellow.

"Well, it's better to be inconspicuous this way."

Looking at the inconspicuous appearance of the Hundred Taboos Talisman, Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction.

The more inconspicuous it is, the more the fools will believe it when they discover it.

After all, if it looks like a treasure, how could it continue to stay in the hands of the fat boss?

After many compensation negotiations between the first debtor, the General Affairs Department and others, such a treasure can still remain in the hands of the fat boss. It can be seen at a glance that it is a trap.

Therefore, the more inconspicuous it is, the more surprised the Fatui will be when they find it, and the more they will believe it. Especially the senior executives of the Northland Bank who led the loan to the fat boss, they will definitely insist that it is the real taboo-free scroll.

Because only in this way can they turn losses into profits.

The loss of a few million Moras is nothing. It can be earned back with a Hundred Taboos Talisman.

Moreover, the significance represented by the Hundred Taboos Talisman is much stronger than millions of Moras.

By then, not only will they not have any faults, but they will all be credited with merits, great merits.

Wang Hao had even thought about what the voice inside the Northland Bank would be like after the bank's debt handler took the talisman back.

He reached out and handed the dimmed talisman to No. 5: "Go again and put this talisman in the pile of calligraphy and paintings, then make sure they have moved the things out, and then you can come back."

Wang Hao could confirm that the information discovered by No. 5 must have been known to the Northland Bank.

Once the fat boss transfers the things out, the Fatui will try to intercept them.

As soon as this thing leaves the port, it will be sent to the Northland Bank.

The fat boss's henchmen...

It’s not that Wang Hao looks down on them. Compared with the Fatui, these thugs are really not up to par.

Number Five took the talisman, put it away carefully, then disappeared into the shadows and left.

After No. 5 left, Wang Hao looked at No. 3 again and said, "Pay more attention to the investigation of those big households and find more evidence that can arouse the anger of ordinary people. I want to crush them with the will of the people and let them die in disgrace, so that they can live up to their status."

Although these corrupt families can be cleansed out by force,
But who knows what rumors will come out.

The best way is always to crush others with the general trend.

Let the people spit on them, let the people hate them, and let the people be afraid of them.

Then, as the righteous side, the best option is to strike them and destroy them.

Why do so many people like to occupy the moral pinnacle to do things? Because it feels really good.

"Yes." Number Three lowered his head.

She didn't have any doubts. On the contrary, she thought Wang Hao was right.

"Well, go ahead." Wang Hao waved his hand, then paused for a moment and continued, "As for Sister Ningguang, just tell her the truth."

He knew that No. 3 was Ningguang's man first, and his second.

He believed in Number Three's loyalty, and she was absolutely willing to die for him.

But he also believed that No. 3 would not hide anything from Ningguang.

Therefore, he was not going to let No. 3 hide the secret from Ningguang.

Number Three nodded and turned away.

However, there are still shadows crawling in the shadows outside the study.

There are five people in a team. No. 3 and No. 5 are busy now, and the other three are here.

……

No. 3 left the orphanage and soon arrived at Yuehai Pavilion.
It was clearly late at night, but Ningguang was still here.

After No. 3 told Ningguang all of Wang Hao's arrangements,
Ningguang finally smiled: "The child has finally grown up."

She had no objection to Wang Hao's arrangement. If Wang Hao was not ruthless in cleaning up, she would also clean up these corrupt families.

The existence of these people absorbs Liyue's nutrients like blood-sucking worms, and has seriously affected Liyue's development.

Only by getting rid of them can we free ourselves from the shackles and allow Liyue to move forward.

Although these families have made contributions to Liyue in the past, the blood they have sucked from Liyue over the years should be enough to repay them.

As a political figure, Ningguang has never been a merciful person.

From a homeless little girl to the powerful Tianquanxing in Liyue, her methods can be more ruthless than anyone else.

So, after listening to No. 3 talk about Wang Hao's preparations, Ningguang's comment was simply that the child had grown up.

"Just do as he says. If there's not enough manpower, go and get more. It just so happens that a new group of spies has arrived at the General Affairs Department. Well, Shi Jie will soon be out of training, so let him go and help Wang Hao."

Ningguang held her chin with one hand, thought for a while, and approved another group of people for No. 3.

"Oh, right... Let's go to Yuhengxing's office. She should be still at get off work. Tell her about Wang Hao's plan."

Ningguang smiled playfully.

Number Three's expression froze slightly under his mask, then he lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

“Okay, go ahead.” Ningguang waved her hand.

Number Three turned and left.

After No. 3 left,
"So, is he qualified now?" Ningguang looked towards the dark room.

The dark room opened and Uncle Tian walked out: "Not enough, not enough."

Compared to last time, his tone was a little more relaxed. Obviously, Wang Hao was gradually gaining his approval.

“Tsk, your requirements are really high.” Ningguang said softly.

Uncle Tian had a calm expression on his face: "The location of Tianshu is not that simple, just wait and see."

“We can’t keep dragging it on. Why don’t you give me a test or something?” Ningguang raised her eyebrows and said.

Uncle Tian hesitated for a moment and began to think.

Ningguang didn't urge him and just watched.

After a while,

Uncle Tian raised his head and said, "The most important thing for Tianshu Star is to be able to endure loneliness. Since you want me to test him, then let me test him."

After a pause, Uncle Tian continued, "After this cleanup, as the promoter, he must be the biggest contributor. I want you to not reward him for his merits."

"What do you mean?" Ningguang frowned slightly. She wanted to use this action together with Keqing to push Wang Hao to the top.

This is also one of the reasons why she asked No. 3 to inform Keqing.

"Record his merits, but don't reward him yet. Let him do other things. If he can bear it, it means he can endure the loneliness." Uncle Tian said in a deep voice.

The responsibility of the Tianshu position is usually to give advice to the other seven stars behind the scenes.

This is a character that doesn't show up much.

The most important thing is to keep a low profile.

Of course, this low-key refers to being low-key about Tianshu's identity.

If Wang Hao could work calmly and calmly despite his great achievements,
Only then can you be considered to be pleasing to Uncle Tian.

After all, he is in good health now and is not in a hurry to find an heir.

“Is that so? Then let’s do as you say.” Ningguang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

She felt that Wang Hao could calm down.
Moreover, if Wang Hao really cannot meet Uncle Tian’s requirements, the worst that can happen is that he can just change his position.

There are more than just seven stars in Liyue’s top leadership.

Uncle Tian looked at Ningguang and said, "You can't leak the questions, otherwise, I won't recognize you."

“Of course.” Ningguang chuckled. “Want to sign a contract?”

Uncle Tian glanced at her, said nothing, and turned away.

As we are all seven stars, there is still some trust between us. It is a bit insulting to sign a contract.

After Uncle Tian left,

Ningguang returned to her seat and looked outside through the screen window.

The moon was bright, just like her mood.

the other side,
No. 3 went down to the second floor and knocked on the door of Yuhengxing's office.

"Come in." A clear voice sounded.

Number Three pushed the door open and went in.

Compared to Tianquan's office, Yuheng's office is smaller, but has many more documents.

"Lord Yuheng." Number Three said softly.

Keqing looked up from the pile of documents: "Sorry, there's a lot going on. Are you... the one next to Wang Hao?"

She saw No. 3's appearance clearly and quickly recognized him.

She had seen No. 3 around Wang Hao many times, so of course she knew him.

"You came to me, what's the matter?"

But since it concerned Wang Hao, Keqing put down the documents in her hand.

Number 3 immediately stated his intention.
"We have found out about the family's corrupt deeds, and Lord Wang Hao has decided to clean them up. After reporting to Lord Tian Quan, Lord Tian Quan asked me to tell you."

After listening to No. 3's story,
Keqing's expression remained unchanged and she nodded slightly.

"Did Tianquan say anything that required my cooperation?"

"No, Lord Tianquan just asked me to tell you."

"Oh…"

Keqing responded, and then there was silence.

After a while, she looked at No. 3 again: "I see, go back and tell Wang Hao that if there is anything you need my help with, just ask."

She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so Ningguang asked someone to tell her why.

Need help? I guess not.

Provocation? No, it shouldn't be.
Claiming sovereignty? Not really.

In the end, she had no choice but to accept the task.

Number Three nodded: "Yes."

　There will also be additional updates for the helmsman of [v断忆v] and the helmsman of [夏木武士] at 11 noon...

I owe you one update for the 800 monthly votes. I’ll make up for it tomorrow.

Still coding all night long...
