"Haha, Wei Meng, that is to say, if Boss Di is not my friend. For other merchants, can you do whatever you want?" The Fourth Prince sternly said.
"I don't dare to be an official!" Wei Meng knew that he had said something wrong, and quickly bowed his head.
"Four princes, what is going on!" Gao Xupeng asked.
"It seems that Master Gao was also deceived by this Wei Meng." Di Xi said with a smile.
"By the way, Commander Gao, why did you come here today?" the Fourth Prince asked.
"I'm sorry, Four Lords!" Gao Xupeng quickly explained, "I just heard Wei Meng report that an agent from the Jinshan Kingdom spied on our Sangzi City's intelligence in the name of opening a business, so he brought troops to arrest him. But I didn't expect it. Boss Di turned out to be a friend of the Fourth Prince."
"Commander Gao, please rest assured! If Boss Di is really a spy of Jinshan Kingdom, even if it is my friend, I will never tolerate it." Four Princes said, "But as far as I know, Boss Di is a rule. The merchants just came to Sangzi City for the first time and were unfamiliar with their birthplace."
"Four princes, you must not be fooled! This Di Xi is indeed a spy!" Wei Meng knew that now he can only kill Di Xi as a spy in the Jinshan Kingdom, so that he can escape from crime. You must know that he privately mobilized the forbidden army is also a big crime.
"Do you have any evidence?" Di Xi seemed very calm.
"Of course I have evidence, I have one!" Wei Meng said quickly.
"Then please bring your personal testimony!" said the Fourth Prince.
"Yes!" Wei Meng stood up and clapped his hands. Several of his men immediately brought one person up.
Di Xi saw that he was an acquaintance!
This person is no one else, but the former tax-collecting team captain, Zong Kui, who was deposed in the "Haihong Village" for domineering.
"Is him the witness you mentioned?" the Fourth Prince asked.
"Yes, it's him!" Wei Meng also gradually recovered his calm at this moment.
"Who are you?" the Fourth Prince asked.
"In the next Zongkui, it turned out to be the captain of the tax collection team under Chief Tang." Zongkui said as he looked at Tang Ming, "Because Di Xi and Tang Ming colluded, I discovered the intelligence of Sangzi City in a vain attempt to spy on Sangzi City. Therefore, I was removed from office."
"You are right?" The Fourth Prince turned to Tang Ming and asked, "Is this Zongkui your former subordinate?"
"Yes, he is indeed the leader of the tax collection team." Tang Ming nodded, "But because of oppressing the good people and discrediting the image of our Sangzi State Taxation Office, I was dismissed."
"Chief Tang, are you still reluctant to tell the truth now?" Zong Kui said loudly, "You know what you have done."
Zong Kui's decisive appearance indeed aroused the suspicion of the four princes. Even Di Xi had to admire Zong Kui's acting skills.
"If this continues, I can't do this opening ceremony? I'll end this farce soon!" Di Xi said, turning to the Fourth Prince and said, "Four Princes, since these people are pointing down, can you let I confronted them."
"This is a good idea. Both parties are present. It is up to you both to make it clear." The Fourth Prince said noddedly.
"Thank you, Four Lords!"
Di Xi said as he pushed his wheelchair to Zong Kui and asked, "You said I was in collusion with Chief Tang, is there any evidence?"
"Naturally, there are more than a dozen boxes of gold ingots in the tax office's warehouse as evidence." Zong Kui was able to correct Di Xi, and naturally came prepared.
Hearing what Zong Kui said, Tang Ming was also surprised. "This bastard Zongkui, why did you confess this too?" Tang Ming suddenly broke into cold sweat.
At this moment, Di Xi turned his head and winked at Tang Ming, indicating that he didn't need to care.
Although Tang Ming believed in doubt, he could only choose to believe in Di Xi at this time.
"I never gave Chief Tang any gold ingots!" Di Xi said seriously.
"What are the boxes in the warehouse?" Zong Kui said loudly.
"Boss Di, look?" The Fourth Prince asked Di Xi.
"You are not afraid of the shadow crooked. Lord, in order to prove the innocence of the next, the leader of Laogao will send someone to carry those boxes!" Di Xi said.
"Okay, it's a matter of great importance, and my subordinates are willing to do this." Gao Xupeng said, and ordered his generals to send people to the tax office.
Looking at Zong Kui's confident testimony, Wei Meng said in his heart: "Hmph, as long as Di Xi bribed Tang Ming, everything else will be easy. By then, these two guys will definitely not be able to eat."
In almost a cup of tea, Gao Xupeng's Forbidden Army carried more than a dozen boxes to the scene.
Everyone saw that it was indeed a heavy box.
"Master, the gold ingots are in this box." Zong Kui said loudly, "Just open the box and you can find the evidence."
"Hehe, then open it." Di Xi looked indifferent.
"When death is approaching, you are still stiff!" Zong Kui looked very emotional.
But when the soldiers opened the boxes, there were no gold ingots inside. There were only sand-like metal debris in a dozen boxes, shining with a strange luster.
"Why is there no gold ingot?" Zong Kui couldn't believe his eyes either. He hurriedly went from the past and grabbed the Sijinsha in the box with his hands.
"Wei Meng, where are the gold ingots you are talking about?" The Fourth Prince's expression became unsightly.
"Master, even if there is no gold ingot. I think the sand is not ordinary, it must be expensive." Wei Meng quibbled.
"Haha, you ignorant things." The fourth prince said, turning around and ordered to his entourage, "Go and get some sands."
"Yes!" The entourage was swift in his hands and feet, and quickly scooped a little sand on a plate and brought it in front of everyone.
The Four Lords played with this golden sand and asked Di Xi with a smile: "Boss Di, it seems that these should be the raw materials for your crafts."
"The prince sees, that's right! These are just the raw materials for my handicrafts, and they are almost of no value before they are formed." Di Xi explained with a smile.
"My lord, don't listen to this guy's nonsense!" Wei Meng said, "How can it be worthless if it is so splendid?"
"Shut up!" The Fourth Prince said furiously, "It's fine if you say that others don't know, but I just checked Boss Di's handicraft a few days ago. It is indeed the magical gravel that is good, but there is no gold. So expensive."
"Since it's ordinary sand, why did Tang Ming put it in the warehouse without any serious consideration?" Wei Meng asked.
"Master Wei, I found that you made a mistake." Tang Ming also regained his senses at the moment, "At that time Boss Di only used these handicraft materials as collateral to issue a business license. All this is also in line with it. Formality."
"Impossible, I saw that it was all gold ingots, how could it become sand?" Zong Kui yelled unwillingly.
"Zong Kui, these are all your side words. At that time, Haihong Village and the tax collection team can testify for me." Di Xi said, "Master, if you don't believe it, you can ask Village Chief Qian and the others for verification. ."
"Yes, we in Haihong Village can prove that what Boss Di put in the box is indeed all gravel." Qian Yao said vowedly.
"I can prove it too!" Zhou Jue, the current captain of the tax collection team, also stood up.
"Lao Zhou, you!" Seeing Zhou Jue say the same, Zong Kui was immediately furious, "I usually treat you not badly, why do you do perjury?"
"Zong Kui, what I said is all the truth!" Zhou Juelang said, "Report the Fourth Prince, this person is not credible."
"Oh, is it so?"
"This Zongkui often used his position to oppress the people. At that time, he was in Haihong Village and he falsely reported the tax amount and almost killed the widow of the martyr." Zhou Jue said, "Later, the conspiracy was dismantled by Boss Di and Officer Tang, so I took the opportunity to slander them. I was ashamed to say that I was dared not to speak up under him before, and I had been with him before."
"This matter will be exposed for the time being!" The Fourth Prince waved his hand and said, "In this way, this Zongkui is indeed the worst evil! Zongkui, what else do you have to say now?"
"Master, wronged!" At this time Zong Kui finally realized his mistake, but it was too late.
"Bold Zongkui, not only did nasty things in his position, but after he was exposed, he also beaten him down, planting and blaming the court officials and the good people. It is really not to blame!" Gao Xupeng said angrily, "Come on, take this culprit down for me. "
After Gao Xupeng finished speaking, a few soldiers stepped out and tied Zong Kui, who had collapsed to the ground, firmly.
"Wei Meng, what else do you have to say now?" Di Xi looked at Wei Meng and said.
"Master!" Wei Meng knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, "Master, the subordinates were also deceived by that Zongkui. That's why I misunderstood Director Tang and Boss Di. I am also worried that Jinshan Kingdom will really infiltrate. Coming in is also for the safety of Sang Ziguo!"
"Master Wei meant that I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Isn't that?" Di Xi said slowly.
"Right, right, right! What Boss Di said is absolutely true!" Wei Meng just wanted to talk, and suddenly realized that it was Di Xi's words, and his expression was serious.
"Wei Meng, you really have a face!" The Fourth Prince furiously said, "You used the name of investigating spies to blackmail in your own area. Do you think you can cross the sea with a lie?"
"Lord, I was wronged!"
"Wrong?" The Fourth Prince took out an account book from his arms and threw it directly on Wei Meng's face.
Wei Meng ignored the pain, and quickly flipped through the account book. "Isn't this my account book?" Wei Meng was startled, and his heart was ashamed.
He knelt to the ground and said loudly, "The minister is guilty!"
"Wei Meng, as the district head, used his position to bully the market and extortion. His behavior is really outrageous." The Fourth Prince said, "If it weren't for someone like Boss Di who is not afraid of power, God knows you are still there. How long is it going to be arrogant. Come on!"
"The humble duty!" Gao Xupeng immediately stood up with comprehension.
"Commander Gao, it seems that you haven't found the spy this time, but the country's moths have caught one!" The Fourth Prince smiled, "Take Wei Meng's party to me and submit it to the Tribunal for trial."
"Yes!" Gao Xupeng led someone to capture Wei Meng and his thugs all at once.
Seeing that the guard fell sharply, cheers broke out in the crowd.
"It seems that Wei Meng is really unpopular!" Yu Zhibo whispered to Di Xi.
"But I really want to thank him," Di Xi said, "If it weren't for his trouble, my'Haihong' wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold here so quickly."
"Well, Boss Di, should this opening ceremony begin now?" The Fourth Prince said with a smile.
"Yes!" Di Xi nodded back to Qian Yao.
"Well, everyone, let's start the celebration soon!" Qian Yao immediately yelled when he saw this.
"Good!" With three salutes, the opening ceremony continued.
