Zhou Zheng slowly looked at the evidence of Cui Chengxiu's crimes, and his expression was extremely emotional.
In the former Zuodu Yushi of the Imperial Court, and now the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, almost except for rebellion, all other evil things have been done, and nothing has been done.
For a long time, Zhou Zheng shook his head, packed it up, and put it back in the box. His eyes flickered faintly at the top of the stairs.
These things were enough to send Cui Chengxiu to jail, but why did Tian Ergeng not do it, but instead borrowed Zhou Zheng's hand
Quite simply, because there are too many things involving Wei Zhongxian, to some extent, defeating Cui Chengxiu can also defeat Wei Zhongxian!
Therefore, Tian Ergeng must find a scapegoat. This scapegoat is not afraid of the sky and fearless, and fearlessly offends the entire government and the opposition Zhou Zheng!
"How to use it?" Zhou Zheng whispered softly. Naturally, he didn't want to help Tian Ergeng deal with Cui Chengxiu, but when these things got into his hands, there was no reason not to make good use of them.
How to use it is indeed a question that needs to be carefully considered.
Cui Chengxiu was not Li Hengbing, he was more powerful than Zhou Yingqiu, and Zhou Zheng couldn't bear it if he really wanted to counterattack.
Zhou Zheng deliberated rapidly in his heart, and at the same time, he was still thinking about some of his arrangements and striving for the greatest benefit!
"Second Young Master, something has happened." Suddenly, Liu Liuzhe shouted anxiously downstairs.
Zhou Zheng was startled, woke up from his thoughts, put the box away, and went downstairs.
Liu Liuzhe yelled at the top of the stairs just now, and now he ran in from outside the shop again, with an anxious expression, and said: "Second Young Master, it is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is Liu Benxi. They want to seal the weekly diary!"
Zhou Zheng raised his brows and said, "You are here so fast. Don't worry."
As Zhou Zheng said, when he walked out of the shop, he saw Liu Benxi standing in front of the shop. There were more than forty government officials behind him, who surrounded Zhou Ji.
Liu Benxi watched Zhou Zheng come out, completely no longer as calm and calm as before, with a sneer, and a happy expression in his eyes, looking at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhou Yushi, it's such a coincidence, you are here, are you here to buy something? ?"
Zhou Zheng listened to Liu Benxi's teasing, his expression was still, his thoughts flickered.
Liu Benxi smiled disdainfully, stepped forward, and said: "I will give you time to see who can and who dares to save you!"
Zhou Zheng said indifferently: "You just eat me like this?"
Liu Benxi's eyes were blood-red, his face was full of hatred, and he roared: "I'll take you! I tell you, no one can save you today!"
Zhou Zheng stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, pressed his left hand on his right hand, snapped, and then pressed his left hand with his right hand, snapped, and said casually: "You said, what if I beat you now?"
Liu Benxi's expression changed slightly, and he backed away quickly, his eyes were angry, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Zheng, don't be rampant! Today, I will never let you go!"
Zhou Zheng looked indifferent and said, "I don't know how many people are going to be sealed in my shop, which one has succeeded? How are you better than Li Hengbing? He is not my opponent, why are you so confident? It is the people you brought to the procuratorate. , If I don't agree, will they dare to block it?"
Liu Benxi turned his head to look, and these yamen bowed their heads, even those who raised their heads hesitated.
Zhou Zheng was also the supervisor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Why didn't they know Zhou Zheng's ability, he had been in prison, and the director of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who could keep him
Besides, it was the man who offended the ministers of Manchuria in the court hall without any scruples, and even the person who sent Zhejiang Taoist official Li Hengbing into the sky prison. How can they dare to offend these little servants
Liu Benxi looked at the expressions of these people, gritted his teeth, and hated him, but immediately turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng and sneered: "Do you think you can get away with it this way?"
As soon as his voice fell, another team of Yamen appeared and went straight to Zhou Ji.
The leader was a middle-aged man, dressed in official uniform, with a dignified look. He came to Zhou Zheng and said in a deep voice: "This shop is poisonous. Someone has sued the Criminal Ministry. Now, the official wants to seal up the shop and take away the people from the shop. , No one is allowed to move!"
Zhou Zheng glanced at Liu Benxi, saw his expression of complacency, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Who are you again?"
The middle-aged man held his head high, glanced at Zhou Zheng disdainfully, and said: "The officer in the criminal department, Tao Ran."
Zhou Zheng suddenly felt a little stunned. He had seen this name in the letter from the official Wang Jue just now.
Zhou Zheng looked at Tao Ran deeply in his eyes, and his heart felt like electricity.
If you really doze off, bring a pillow!
Tao Ran waved his hand directly without talking nonsense.
The servants behind him did not hesitate and rushed directly into Zhou Ji to arrest people.
Liu Liuzhe and the other guys looked shocked, including Kou Huaiyi, who was sorting books in the backyard, Zhang Heyi and others also came out, looking at these bureaucrats with a slightly flustered expression, all looking at Zhou Zheng.
If the Criminal Ministry really wants to arrest people, they all have to be arrested, right
"Wait!" Zhou Zheng shouted in a deep voice.
Tao Ran looked at Zhou Zheng, took a step closer, and said in a low voice, "Tell you, I am here for you today! Others suspect that you are a supervisory official. I don't care. If you dare to put one more Fart, I will take you back to prison, and I will guarantee you will not survive tonight!"
Zhou Zheng looked at this face that didn't hide his murderous intent, and said, "You are so anxious to shoot at me, isn't it a temporary intention?"
Tao Ran’s eyes were indifferent and said: "You are very smart, but I will not tell you. If you are honest and obedient and say what I want to hear, I will let you live for a few more days. If you don’t, you will be seriously ill tonight. dead!"
Zhou Zheng understood that this was someone who wanted to use him to attack someone. In fact, it is not difficult to guess. Most of it was Cui Chengxiu who wanted to use him to clean up the castrated party traitors.
Zhou Zheng watched the fire in his heart, and his thoughts were flickering. He said: "I know you, it was the official who bought five thousand taels from Cui Chengli. No need to argue, your money came from the interception of tax money for transportation. I want to think about it. It’s easy to check. How did you give the money to Cui Chengli, I also know the middleman. In this way, I will give you one night, you can collude with confessions, you can also kill people, tomorrow my impeachment book will be uploaded, and you can add a book to justify. , So that the imperial court could not find evidence and continue to be promoted to make a fortune..."
Before Zhou Zheng had finished speaking, Tao Ran's expression changed. He stared at Zhou Zheng with wide eyes, and the coldness on his face turned into surprise and panic.
How did Zhou Zheng know this? He actually knew that he had intercepted the shipping tax, he also knew that he was sending money to Cui Chengli, and that there was an intermediary. How much did Zhou Zheng know
Tao Ran was overwhelmed in horror, his eyes were full of fear, and his face was constantly changing.
Zhou was the supervisor of the Yushi, and he went up with memorials. He was not only to lose his official position, it was to lose his head!
Liu Benxi kept watching Zhou Zheng and Tao Ran whispering, and resisted not being disturbed. Seeing Tao Ran staying still, he stepped forward and said, "Master Tao, don't talk nonsense, take him to the torture department, just like him, a weak scholar. No need to be tortured, frighten, he will say whatever he wants!" (End of this chapter)
