Listening to Wei Xizhuang's words, Meng Hezhou couldn't help but start thinking.
There were a lot of people who jumped out from the opposite side, from Shuntian Mansion to Xing Department, Household Department, and Official Department. Then He Qi would be the most active, followed by Qian Zhongting.
But arrests are not random, especially when the other party arrested Zhou Qingli, the father of Zhou Zheng, obviously trying to force Zhou Zheng to submit. If they want to arrest people, they also have to arrest key talents.
Meng Hezhou is not a member of the officialdom, and he is not clear about these distinctions. He looked at Wei Xizhuang and said, "My lord, firstly, we have insufficient manpower, and secondly, we can't catch it randomly. Is this matter for Zhou Yushi?"
Wei Xizhuang has been hiding a little bit of anger recently, so he could not bear it, and said directly: "No need, so let's catch that He Qihui. I think he jumped up and down, and he was so impatient that he was caught in jail and tortured! "
Meng Hezhou knew that Wei Xizhuang wanted to show it to those people, and said, "But our people have been transferred away. It is not convenient for us to come forward."
Meng Hezhou and others are secret guards who are not yet on the register. If they show up publicly, then the trouble will be big.
Wei Xizhuang sneered triumphantly on his face, and said: "They really thought that I had been so long in the imprisonment that there were so many people, ridiculous! Take my token, you go find a man named Wang Heng, he is my brother-in-law, let He went to catch He Qihui, and he was arrested at the Criminal Ministry, and he would do it early tomorrow morning!"
Meng Hezhou didn't know that Wei Xizhuang still had such a relationship, and immediately said, "It's an adult!"
Wei Xizhuang felt more comfortable now. Seeing Meng Hezhou was about to leave, he suddenly said, "By the way, send Yang Qishao's interrogation transcript to Lao Zhou. His brain is better than us."
Meng Hezhou Road: "Good."
…
Zhou Qingli was arrested, and Zhou Mansion was quiet.
Zhou Fang walked up and down in front of Zhou Zheng's desk, anxiously said: "Even if it's just locked in the criminal department, it won't work if you haven't been in prison, you have to get Dad out quickly..."
Zhou Zheng said: "Don't panic, I will find a way to see Dad tomorrow and find out what evidence they have in their hands."
Zhou Fang frowned, his heart flustered, and said, "No, I have to visit a few adults and ask them to come forward..."
Seeing that he was leaving, Zhou Zheng said quickly: "Wait a minute! Wait until I see Dad tomorrow, otherwise you are not allowed to leave the house!"
Zhou Fang was furious and said: "I am your elder brother, you have to listen to me!"
Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Fang was a little messy, stood up, handed him a cup of tea, and said: "You calm down, you go out recklessly, what if you get caught again? I'm already clearing up the relationship, tomorrow can See dad, you go with me."
Zhou Fang looked anxious, his brows frowned and frowned upon hearing Zhou Zheng's words, and he took the teacup and said, "Go early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Zhengxin let out a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Zhou Fang just took a sip of tea and left with anxiety.
Before Zhou Zheng sat down, Liu Liuzhe hurried in, leading a person behind him.
Meng Hezhou!
Zhou Zheng's eyes changed slightly, and he said, "Something happened?"
Meng Hezhou stepped forward and said, "Zhou Yushi is relieved, no. It is Master Wei who is preparing to arrest people and venting evil to Zhou Yushi. Also, this is the transcript of Yang Qishao's interrogation."
Zhou Qingli has been arrested, and if Yang Qishao is gone, it would be equal to losing all the games!
Zhou Zheng took the transcript of Yang Qishao's interrogation and said casually: "Who is Wei going to arrest?"
Meng Hezhou Road: "He Qihui."
Zhou Zheng humbled indifferently and looked at the transcript.
He was secretly surprised and speechless without seeing much.
Although Yang Qishao is only an adopted son of the Yang family, there are really many involved, of which salt is the most.
From the collusion between the salt field and the military households, to the salt introduction of the household department, to the salt department, the management of local related departments, and even the internal supervision of the palace, the cabinet of the foreign court, the convoy of intermediate transportation, the transportation, the post, and The local salt merchants' chambers of commerce, etc., are almost all-encompassing, and they are thoroughly penetrated everywhere!
An invisible big net shrouded the entire Daming officialdom inside and outside!
Zhou Zheng looked at it page by page, and he was shocked beyond words.
He knew that the salt class had been corroded a long time ago, but he was surprised to see these methods and the people and events involved, and he couldn't believe it.
Don't talk about any minister, even if the apocalypse wants to start a salt lesson, that is definitely impossible!
This net is too big, covering too many people, too many things, it is really going to be uncovered, it is definitely an extremely terrifying event, which is no less than a big event that will upset the big tomorrow!
People inside are not allowed to be opened, let alone people outside!
Meng Hezhou has already seen it, but there are not many surprises. Seeing Zhou Zheng's constantly changing expression, he secretly said to himself,'This Zhou Yushi is different from us. '
Zhou Zheng watched it for a long time before finishing, closing his eyes, slowly digesting the content.
As a result, he also has a real understanding of the salt class. The salt lesson is an evil result from the chaos of the officialdom. This evil result in turn makes the officialdom more chaotic and promotes each other. It goes deeper and deeper without turning back.
'Can't save it...'
Zhou Zheng confirmed this idea again in his heart. It is really difficult to reform from within Daming.
Meng Hezhou kept looking at Zhou Zheng, and waited for his expression to calm down before he said, "Zhou Yushi, what do you want me to convey to Master Wei?"
Zhou Zheng let out a sigh of relief, looked at him, and said, "You don't need to catch that He Qi will meet, Jiang Yan, the secretary of the Qing clerk of the arrest department, Wai Lang."
Meng Hezhou seemed to remember the name and said, "Is this person special?"
Zhou Zhengshun picked up the tea cup and said, "He is the person responsible for introducing the salt for review and sending it out, and he is also the person who collects the money from the salt merchants and distributes it to the officials at all levels in the DPRK."
Meng Hezhou immediately understood, and said, "Okay, is it to be caught tomorrow, or is it to be caught now?"
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Tomorrow morning, I will catch it in the street."
Meng Hezhou said: "Okay, goodbye, the villain."
Zhou Zheng hummed and watched him leave.
Liu Liuzhe had been listening, waiting for Meng Hezhou to leave, and said: "Second young master, we also arrest people, can the master come back?"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have more chips than them, and they have more scruples than us. Master will be back soon."
Zhou Zheng held Yang Qishao in his hand, and coupled with the identity of Wei Xizhuang, those people had no other choice but to cast a rat avoidance!
At this stage, it's nothing more than temptation, and it won't really go out of style.
Liu Liuzhe said with a relieved expression, "Second Young Master, then go to bed early. You have to go to the Xing Department to see the master tomorrow."
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead."
Liu Liuzhe turned around and went out with a hey cry.
Zhou Zheng sat in a chair, looking at the interrogation transcript in front of him, his heart still wandering around.
The salt class network is too big and it is too difficult to move. So, what can he do now? What benefits can it bring to his business plan
…
Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng, Liu Liuzhe, Fu Bo and others hurried to the Criminal Ministry in a carriage.
The reason why He Qihui let Zhou Zheng see Zhou Qingli was nothing but pressure, hoping that Zhou Zheng would submit.
Zhou Zheng and others soon saw Zhou Qingli, and involuntarily let go of their hanging hearts.
They did not abuse Zhou Qingli. The place where they lived was full of books, beds, chairs, tea, etc. were all available, clean, not like being locked up, but more like a good inn.
Zhou Qingli watched a group of people come in, and said before they waited for them to speak: "I'm fine, you can take care of yourself, do more and say less, don't make trouble."
Zhou Fang heard Zhou Qingli's hint, but couldn't help but said: "Father, are you okay? They didn't do anything to you, right?"
Zhou Qingli nodded lightly, looked at Zhou Zheng, and said, "You haven't done anything, right?"
Zhou Zhengyan said concisely and said: "It's okay, it's coming soon."
This is the last step for those people, so what else? If Zhou Qingli was tortured, or even killed, it would be to force Zhou Zhengyu to die and break the net!
Zhou Qingli understood, and said: "I'm fine. Yesterday an adult from the Ministry of Criminal Justice met me, and there will be nothing wrong."
Zhou Fang was a little puzzled when he heard it, but Zhou Zheng understood that He Qihui was a doctor in the Criminal Department, and he was not covering the sky with one hand. In addition, the position of the Ministry of Justice in this matter is whether it favors the salt merchants or Wei Xizhuang of the nine-thousand-year-old family. This is difficult to say.
Uncle Fu stepped forward and said concerned: "Master, do you want to give you something?"
Zhou Qingli has been with Fu Bo for more than 20 years and understood the meaning of his words, saying: "No need, nothing is missing, don't bother."
Fu Bo did not speak any more.
At this time, He Qi would come in with a smile, and said: "Why would I treat Brother Zhou badly, we are the same year."
Zhou Qingli looked at him, and said to Zhou Zheng, Zhou Fang and others: "Okay, go back early, don't go out and hang around if you are fine."
Zhou Fang had a lot of words in his heart, knowing that it was inconvenient to say here, so he had to say: "Father, take care, we will pick you up soon."
Zhou Qingli said, her expression calm as usual.
Zhou Zheng and the others turned and left, and He Qi would accompany him with a smile on his face.
Not far away, He Qi will look at Zhou Zheng and say, "Zhou Yushi, a few words?"
Zhou Zheng stopped and looked at Zhou Fang and the others: "You go back first."
Zhou Fang frowned, did not say much, and walked away.
He Qihui and Zhou Zheng laughed when they were far away: "Zhou Yushi, my father will be over tomorrow, what do you think?"
He Qi would be smiling, with a smug face, unable to conceal the cold threat.
Zhou Zheng dared to speak, suddenly a master book hurried over, glanced at Zhou Zheng, and whispered in He Qihui's ear: "My lord, my lord Jiang has been arrested."
He Qi will be startled and said, "Which Lord Jiang?"
The master book looked at Zhou Zheng again, and said, "Jiang Yan from the Ministry of Households was taken away by Jin Yiwei on the street and taken to the imprisonment."
He Qihui's expression changed drastically, his eyes staring at Zhou Zheng.
Yang Qishao is just a salt merchant, everything is fine, but Jiang Yan is different!
He is a member of the Department of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who is responsible for the distribution of salt and the in and out of salt merchants' silver. He is a very key figure!
Moreover, the time for the distribution of salt guides this year is coming!
Jiang Yan can't afford to lose!
The smile on He Qihui's face disappeared, his face was green, staring at Zhou Zheng and said, "Zhou Zhengyun, you are playing with fire!"
Zhou Zheng approached him a little bit, staring at him indifferently, and said: "I will see my father at home tonight. Those of my friends need to be restored to their posts, my shop must be restored to normal, and all of my people must be returned. Also, my patience is limited. If you continue to play tricks, I will catch you next!" (End of this chapter)
