Chapter 91 Where do you think this place is? (Additional chapter 610 for the leader of the alliance 'Ying')

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the door of the meeting room.

The three most powerful people in Liyue looked at each other and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open and the secretary from before walked in.

"Huixin? What's going on? Didn't you say not to disturb us?" The white-haired Tianshuxing was a little dissatisfied.

"Okay, Uncle Tian, ​​Huixin is not ignorant. Let's ask what the matter is first." Ningguang said.

Tianshuxing didn't continue talking.

Ningguang and Keqing both know about his relationship with Hui Xin.

"Lord Yuheng, the legal advisor who visited you before is here again, saying that he has something important to tell you. I told him that you were in a meeting, and he said that was a good opportunity." Huixin said briefly.

Legal advisor?

Ningguang raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is it Wang Hao?"

Keqing nodded: "I was able to handle the shantytown incident earlier thanks to Wang Hao for helping me."

Tianshuxing also remembered something and smiled at Ningguang: "It's your little lucky general."

In the early days of Ningguang's rise to power, Wang Hao's random actions actually brought Ningguang a lot of supporters (parents of the academy's students).

"Huixin, go and call him up." Ningguang said.

Hui Xin nodded and left.

“I guess Wang Hao should have found out something.” Ningguang said with a smile.

Keqing nodded. "He sent someone to tell me yesterday that someone had instigated the residents of the shantytowns to sue the General Affairs Department. It was Yan Fei who persuaded them to go back."

“Hehe, Yan Fei is a troublesome opponent, but when it comes to major issues, she is on the same side as us,” Ningguang said.

Ningguang and Yanfei are old rivals.

Ningguang often changes the law, and Yanfei has to bear the brunt of it.
Yan Fei discovered a loophole in the law, and Ningguang had to revise it.

The two of them "fought" with each other and forcibly perfected the laws of Liyue.

The three of them said,

Soon, the door was pushed open again, and Hui Xin walked in with Wang Hao.

"Sister Ningguang, Keqing, and this one..." Wang Hao greeted the two of them, then looked at the last of the Seven Stars.

"This is Tianshu Star, you can just call him Uncle Tian." Ningguang introduced.

Wang Hao nodded: "Uncle Tian."

Tianshuxing also nodded: "Yeah."

Greeted each other.

Ningguang then asked, "Huixin said you have something important to say?"

Wang Hao did not hesitate and began to narrate.
Northland Bank provided loans at low interest rates, then spread rumors to delay the progress of the General Affairs Department, causing most merchants to default on their payments, and then reap the profits from these merchants.

He did not exaggerate, but simply told what he saw and heard, and then added his own speculation:
“Northland Bank’s goal is definitely not just to sell building materials, but perhaps has a deeper purpose.”

After listening to Wang Hao's story, Tianshu Xing, who had been calm before, also showed an expression of appreciation towards him.

"Well, I am really surprised that you can discover so many situations." Ningguang praised Wang Hao.

Wang Hao scratched his head: "It's all luck."

“Haha, luck is also a part of strength.” Ningguang said with a smile, “In fact, we were discussing this issue before you came.”

Keqing also said, "After you sent someone to tell me yesterday that someone wanted to sue the General Affairs Department, I sent someone to investigate those people and found that they were close to some foreigners, and then found out that they were the merchants of Zhidong."

I see, it’s just like layers of nesting dolls.

"It seems you understand. That's right. In the end, the General Affairs Department's spies traced it back to the Northland Bank. Most of the winter merchants who gave advice to the shantytown residents were supported by the Northland Bank."

"Ha, it seems I was worrying too much." Wang Hao smiled embarrassedly.

He was still worried, but he didn't expect that the General Affairs Department had already found out the truth.

Indeed, Liyue is the home of the General Affairs Department after all.

The rumor happened too long ago, and they couldn't find the source of it in the past month. But now that they had a clue, they followed the clues and investigated it thoroughly.

"Have you come up with a solution?" Wang Hao asked expectantly.

He was from Liyue, and he must have felt disgusted watching the Northern Bank taking over Liyue's building materials business.

It would be best if the Seven Stars could work out a countermeasure and teach the Northland Bank a lesson.

“There is only one way to reverse the current situation and save those merchants and their industries,” Ningguang said softly, “and that is to prove that the contract in the hands of the Northland Bank is invalid and needs to be modified.”

Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, then he said hesitantly: "But the contract law is the authority of the emperor, and Qixing has no right to directly modify the contract."

The contract is the foundation of Liyue.

Unless the Emperor speaks personally, no one can unilaterally modify the contract.

Do I have to take the contract to find Mr. Zhongli?

For a moment, Wang Hao felt a little dazed.

"Haha, of course the Seven Stars have no right to modify the contract, but they can take action after the contract is completed." Uncle Tian suddenly said.

Wang Hao was confused: "What do you mean?"

Keqing explained: "After the Northland Bank has taken over the building materials industry, we will file a lawsuit against the Northland Bank, proving that it was the Northland Bank that fabricated the rumors and committed malicious commercial fraud. Then we will convict the Northland Bank and use atonement to recover the building materials industry. We can even demand compensation from the Northland Bank."

Wang Hao has always been smart. The reason he didn't react just now was because he was still thinking about the outrageous idea of ​​finding Zhongli to modify the contract.

Now after listening to Keqing's explanation, he quickly understood: "Where is the evidence?"

Yes, the most important thing is actually the evidence that Northland Bank fabricated rumors.

"During the investigation, people from the General Affairs Department captured several Fatui spies, and some of them are willing to come forward to testify," Keqing said.

Wang Hao was stunned. Are there any Fatui willing to come forward to testify?

[WC, are there still some Fatui who betray? ]

[Good guy, I call him good guy. 】

【The fools who betray will only die. 】

Even the comments were surprised.

Seeing the surprise on Wang Hao's face, Ningguang smiled and said, "The Fatui's spies are not the General Affairs Department's spies. Our people have livelihood security and families, but what about them? They have nothing. I just promised him a new identity, a quiet job, and a life that doesn't require him to enter darkness again, and he agreed to testify."

[Yes, it’s not that no one wants to leave the fools, but they don’t dare. ]

[With Ningguang's help, they can live a peaceful life after escaping from the Fatui. This is indeed a good choice for some Fatui.]

[Krevy, woooo ...

[There is still a difference between the Hearth House and ordinary Fatui. 】

【…】

In fact, what Ningguang said was simple, but in reality, what she did was not simple. In order to gain the trust of this Fatui spy, she also did a lot of work.

Of course, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing at the meeting.

Wang Hao nodded and said, "You guys are amazing. I just discovered the problem and you have already solved it."

After a pause, Wang Hao hesitated again and said, "What if Northland Bank doesn't recognize it?"

What if Northland Bank refuses to acknowledge the confession of a spy and refuses to give up the building materials industry it has swallowed?
Facing Wang Hao's hesitation,
Ningguang smiled sincerely: "Where do you think this place is?"

Without waiting for Wang Hao to speak, Ningguang stood up. Her attractive figure was alluring, but she also exuded a terrifying majesty.

"This is Liyue, a country that has walked with gods for 3,700 years. We are looking for such a confession not to get the North Country Bank to admit it, but to govern the country according to the law. If the evil person does not admit his guilt, does that mean he is not guilty?"

"I know you are familiar with the law, but, Wang Hao, sometimes the law should not be applied rigidly, but should be used flexibly."

Ningguang smiled and said to Wang Hao: "Wang Hao, remember, the governance of Liyue relies on contracts and laws, but the existence of Liyue relies on the Emperor, the immortals, countless martyrs, and us today."

"So, as long as we have evidence, it doesn't really matter whether they admit it or not."

When Ningguang was speaking, Keqing's eyes wavered slightly, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Wang Hao then remembered the figure carrying the birdcage.
