Zhou Zheng and Hu Qingzheng walked in front. Behind them was a group of government servants. Haohao ****, quite imposing. People on both sides of the road were watching and talking.
Zhou Zheng didn't care about these onlookers and glanced at Hu Qingzheng and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to capture Liu Benxi?"
Hu Qingzheng smiled triumphantly, and said: "I brought Liu Benxi with him. This guy is polite to everyone and looks very good, but he shirks whenever he encounters something and grabs it when he sees merit. It's really ugly. , I don’t know how many times I have been scolded..."
Zhou Zheng didn't know there was this story, and smiled slightly.
Hu Qingzheng was proud for a while, then suddenly said: "By the way, whose store are you going to copy? How much is it worth? Will it be in the station?"
Taili, also known as the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Zhou Zheng said casually: "Three shops, two yards, maybe more, all belonged to ordinary merchants. They were suspected of fraud. They were reported to me. According to the Ming law, they were sealed up and collected into the treasury."
Hu Qingzheng's eyes lit up and said, "How much oil and water?"
It was the first time that Zhou had a mission. He really didn't know what was inside, and turned his head to look at Yao Tongshun beside him.
Yao Tongshun leaned closer and whispered, "The shop and the yard are three out of ten."
Zhou Zheng raised his brows and said, "Isn't this number low?"
Yao Tongshun glanced around and whispered more and more: "Not to mention that we all have a part in this team, but the big head is on the top."
Zhou Zheng suddenly understood, turning his head to Hu Qingzheng and said, "No matter what, the money I said will not change."
Hu Qingzheng was very satisfied with Zhou Zheng's attitude and said: "Okay, there will be such things in the future, just call me twenty taels, no, twelve taels will do!"
Hu Qingzheng's salary is almost five bucks a month, and other inputs are only five liang, but expenditures far exceed this figure, so he has to find ways to make money.
Zhou Zheng's twenty taels are a huge sum of money for Hu Qingzheng!
Zhou Zheng did not answer him. He looked at the shop in front of him, waved his hand, and said, "The Huimiji in front is sealed for me."
The fifty government officials behind him immediately rushed out and directly surrounded the Huimiji.
Before Zhou Zheng and Hu Qingzheng approached, a middle-aged man walked out quickly, holding the account book and said repeatedly, "Plead guilty, I confess guilt, two adults, this is the account book."
Hu Qing was startled, this person has been waiting for them, right? Are the account books ready
The shops that Zhou Zheng wanted to seal up were all the private property of the little eunuch, Li Shi's apprentice, as a cover for Zhou Zheng's annexation of all of Li Shi's assets.
This was also arranged by Zhou Zheng and others, and Zhou Zheng said casually: "Okay, seal it up."
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes, it's sealed, the shop contract is here..." As he said, he took out a bunch of contracts and handed them to Zhou Zheng, with a flattering expression on his face.
The government officials had never seen such a "cooperation", and they blocked the shop in a daze and dealt with it according to the procedure.
Not long after, the leader of the bureau reported, "Zhou Yushi, Hu Yushi, have been closed down, this shop is worth 70 taels, plus the others, a total of 80 taels, has been recorded."
Zhou Zheng took the case file and waved his hand: "Next one."
This is a very young shopkeeper, only in his early twenties, white and tender, with a high-pitched voice. As soon as Zhou Zheng walked over, he said anxiously: "Zhou Yushi, it is ready. Our shop is worth ninety taels. , Plus, one hundred taels, do you want the shop or I want to sell it to you? Give me two days, and I will ensure that everything will be done properly for you... "
Hu Qingzheng was stunned. It was the first time that he had closed a shop like this, and the master's family had cooperated too much!
The third one was even more incredible. The shopkeeper, man, and the accountant stood at the door to greet them. Everything was ready to stop, and it was just a matter of writing a confession for Zhou Zheng.
On the way to the fourth house, Hu Qingzheng couldn't help it, and said, "Zhou Zhengyun, these are all arranged by you, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Zheng held his hands behind his back, his expression relaxed and freehand.
Hu Qingzheng was about to get angry at once, but suddenly smiled again and said, "Hey, tell me what's going on here? How much did you take? Don't worry, I only take twenty taels of what I deserve. Others Don't get a point."
Zhou Zheng said with a straight face, "These are all followed by normal procedures. How much do you think I can get?"
Hu Qingzheng came closer and said, "Don't worry, I'm very strict."
Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "I'll add ten taels to you, don't ask."
Hu Qingzheng's face suddenly changed very exciting, as if to be angry and excited, twisted for a while, and opened his small eyes angrily and said: "Deal!"
Zhou Zheng smiled and walked ahead. With soft hands, Hu Qingzheng honestly followed behind this time.
Four shops and three yards were sealed up one after another, and Zhou Zheng only then turned back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Hu Qingzheng understood this time. Zhou Zheng had a big deal behind it. He looked at Zhou Zheng all the way, and he seemed to think of Zhou Zheng's relationship with the official Zhou Tian. He no longer dared to ask more.
When Zhou Zheng entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he whispered and said with Yao Tong: "In my name, add two to two to each of the team leaders."
Yao Tongshun was taken aback for a moment, and if he knew it, he said, "I see."
Zhou Zheng entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and before he reached the corridor of Zhejiang Road, Li Hengbing’s small staff hurried over and said anxiously: “Zhou Yushi, go to the prison department, Liu Yushi has reported you to the department. Prison Secretary, Li Yushi, and Liu Yushi are all there, just waiting for you."
The Department of Prisons is the internal supervision agency of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in charge of prisons.
Yao Tongshun and Hu Qingzheng both changed their expressions slightly and looked at Zhou Zheng in shock.
It's rare for a person who is targeted by the prison secretary to retreat with his whole body!
Zhou Zheng thought about it and said to Hu Qingzheng: "Take care of today's affairs, I'll go."
Hu Qingzheng hadn't got the silver yet, so he was very reluctant to leave Zhou Zheng and wanted to check out immediately, but this place was obviously inappropriate and he could only nod his head reluctantly.
Zhou Zheng arrived at the Department of Prisons, this department was ordinary, and there were no officials. Zhou Zheng was brought in. Only Li Hengbing and Liu Benxi were present in the side hall.
Liu Benxi sneered when Zhou Zheng came in, and his eyes were smug and smug.
Li Hengbing had no expression on his face, as if he hadn't seen Zhou Zheng come in and lowered his head to drink tea.
Zhou Zheng thought in his heart what Liu Benxi had conspired, raised his hand with Li Hengbing, and sat down on a chair beside him.
As soon as Zhou Zheng sat down, an old man in his early fifties came in by the side door, with triangular eyes and a gentle smile. He smiled as soon as he came in and said, "It's all here, sit down, you are welcome..."
Li Hengbing and Liu Benxi didn't dare to be careless, so they quickly raised their hands and said, "I have seen Chen Si prison."
Zhou Zheng had already recognized it. This was the prison secretary. Chen Xinlie, the chief official of the sixth rank, followed up and said, "I have seen Chen Si prison."
Chen Xinlie seemed to have seen Zhou Zheng just now. He looked surprised and smiled and said: "This is Zhou Yushi, the posterity is terrible, I heard that you joined the internal supervisor Li Zhong not long ago? Very good..."
Liu Benxi praised Zhou Zheng as soon as Chen Xinlie came in, and his face changed suddenly, which was different from what they had previewed before!
Li Hengbing was expressionless, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Chen Xinlie intently.
Does he know this person, who is like an eagle dog, has never dismissed the following Yushi, today not only has a smile, but also a rare compliment! (End of this chapter)
