Do you believe in human nature?
Qiao San's question caught Chi Mu off guard.
"Don't worry about whether I believe it or not, just keep talking!"
When Qiao San saw the shining knife in his hand, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and dared not say anything else.
"You're right. With my status as a groom, I can't even get those Jinyiwei officers to listen to me. I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to meet them under normal circumstances.
But by chance, I learned the secret of a trial centurion: he would falsify the public funds he used every time, and when he reported them to the authorities for reimbursement, he would get the difference.
After I discovered this secret, I went to the house of this trial centurion and asked him to give me some money, otherwise I would report him.
In order to keep the truth from being exposed, he actually gave me some money. But I had a drinking habit, and I spent all the money quickly.
How much money could a stable boy like me have? After I had spent all my money, I caught his attention again and asked for money for drinks.
But he himself had a lot of expenses and had no money to give me, but he used his connections to let me go to a certain tavern without spending any money. "
After a pause, a complicated look appeared on Qiao San's face: "Since then, I have found that this trial centurion is very timid.
As long as I threatened him with that incident, he would meet my demands. It was hard for me to imagine that a trial centurion would listen to me like this.
I soon found a huge business opportunity in this. Since a trial centurion was caught by me, he would be so afraid of me and willing to do many things for me.
If I find evidence against other people, wouldn't they be like this trial officer? To verify this idea, I found a small flag of the Imperial Guard, squatted at his door all day, and followed him.
You know what, I really caught him with a weakness, and then used the same old trick to threaten him. Unexpectedly, in order to prevent his ugly deeds and secrets from being exposed, this little flag began to use the power within his ability to help me do some things.
From then on, I had a helper in Shibaihu and Xiaoqi. I used the convenience they could bring to me and opened up many channels, and these channels accumulated more and more.
During this process, I still did not give up looking for other people's handles and secrets. I even caught the handles of the deputy captain and the captain, and combined with some channels I had, I forced them to cooperate with me.
In this way, my power grew larger and larger, and I had more than a dozen Jinyiwei working for me. They would give me money to please me, and I accumulated the first original capital. "
When Qiao San said this, Chi Mu already understood the reason.
He was extremely shocked when he learned the truth.
It turns out that the mastermind behind all this is really Qiao San, a groom who seems to be so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary.
He discovered this astonishing method by chance.
The most important thing is that the evidence he always gets hold of are the secrets that these people in high positions are most reluctant to expose.
"So you used this initial capital to integrate the Red Dust Pavilion and the Imperial Guards to sell young women from outside the city?
In order to keep the huge amount of money flowing without attracting other people's attention, you came up with the idea of using rice cakes instead of silver, and just at this time you happened to catch Wang Youcai's handle?"
Qiao San nodded: "To be precise, I was the one who deliberately followed Wang Youcai and caught him..."
Chi Mu was shocked.
He never imagined that in the huge city of Chang'an, the person who colluded with almost all the Jinyiwei was just a small groom.
And the method he used was the most despicable and the most unexpected.
No wonder Qiao San showed no fear when Chi Mu appeared in front of him using his identity as a small flag officer and deputy captain.
Now it's all clear.
The entire transaction chain was completed by Qiao San.
There are so many high-ranking Jinyiwei behind him, let alone deputy captains, he doesn't even take the captain seriously.
With his arrogant and domineering attitude, Chen Sheng died tragically at home. It was probably because Chen Sheng was too domineering in the flower cake shop that day that made Qiao San remember him.
Then, he ordered a member of the Imperial Guard to kill Chen Sheng.
After figuring this out, Chi Mu looked up at Qiao San with a sharp gaze: "I never thought that a groom like you would have such terrifying manipulation and operation capabilities.
However, there are still many loopholes here. There are quite a few people involved in this entire transaction chain, and you cannot be strong enough to remember all of them.
And the amount of money involved, you must have a record in a ledger, right? "
"Yes, I have an account book that records my transactions with everyone, and also the names of the people I control...
I also deliberately leaked the information about this account book, and those who are under my control know about it.
It not only records the accounts and names, but also the secrets that they don't want others to know. In order to prevent this account book from leaking out, everyone must ensure my safety. The trial centurion you killed just now was the one who was sent to follow me. "
As Qiao San spoke, he looked at the Jinyiwei whose body had already turned cold, and couldn't help swallowing.
Hearing Qiao San admit it himself, Chi Mu finally became excited.
Yes, it is this account book!
It turns out that this account book is not the account book of the flower cake shop, nor is it the account book of the Hongchen Pavilion.
It was the account book that Qiao San had been using to record the names of people and transaction amounts!
No wonder as soon as he took Qiao San away from Hongchen Pavilion, Qianhu went to the dungeon to rescue him.
It turned out that someone had been protecting him secretly. After knowing this information, he immediately informed the higher-level captain.
But Chi Mu changed his mind and thought of the pros and cons of Qiao San making this account book.
If he didn't write out the account book and keep everything in his head, as soon as he died, no one would know their secret.
Those who were caught by Qiao San must have been thinking about how to kill Qiao San for a long time.
But after Qiao San made this account book and released the information about it, everyone now knew that such an account book existed.
As long as this account book cannot be found, even if Qiao San dies, his secret will be at risk of being exposed.
So they had to work hard to protect Qiao San.
After all, Qiao San is alive. Although he threatens them with secrets, he also brings considerable benefits to these people, which is much better than other people getting the account books.
"Where's the account book? Where is the account book?!"
Chi Mu excitedly grabbed Qiao San's collar and his eyes were filled with fear again.
In his eyes, Chi Mu is a devil.
"Account, account book..."
Qiao San's voice trembled slightly, and just as he was about to tell the account book, the sound of breaking the door suddenly rang out...
