Chapter 225 The traitor is as loyal as Zhao Shouzheng

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Among the officials in Shuntian Prefecture, the official Tui ranked seventh, and the second official ranked last.

    Naturally, there is no special government office. There is only an independent official office behind the sixth room.

    At this time, Officer Ni was sitting behind his case, looking up and down at Zhao Shouzheng, who was dressed as a scholar.

    "Tell me, what secrets do you have?"

    "Where do you start talking about this, sir?" Zhao Shouzheng spread his hands and said confused: "The student is the plaintiff."

    "Hmph, why didn't that thief steal from others, but just focused on what you were doing in Nanzhili?" Ni Tuiguan asked coldly: "Is it because you have something to celebrate? Or did you take something that shouldn't be taken?  "

    He bit the last six words very hard while staring at Zhao Shouzheng, trying to find some clues from his mood swings - this is a required skill for criminal officials.

    Ni Tuiguan believes that as long as the thing is really in the Zhao family, the parents of the Zhao family will definitely know about it.

    "My lord, you should ask the thief, why did you ask about the students instead? I am also confused"

    However, Zhao Shouzheng's face showed only deep confusion and did not show the slightest panic.

    "The thief will naturally ask. Now I'm asking you. Think about it carefully. Is there anything in your place that makes people miss you?"

    "Ah, my lord said that, I just remembered it." Zhao Shouzheng slapped his forehead, showing a sudden look on his face.

    "Speak quickly!" Ni Tuiguan leaned forward and stared at Zhao Shouzheng with bright eyes.

    "Money." Zhao Shouzheng replied matter-of-factly: "Perhaps the student is generous and generous and helps many people in the same year, which makes people think that the student must have a lot of money."

    "Nonsense" Ni Tuiguan leaned back in his chair in frustration.

    "Why is this nonsense?" Zhao Shouzheng asked in confusion: "Don't thieves just steal money? Oh, yes, there are also flower pickers"

    "Um¡­¡­"

    ?? Ni Tuiguan controlled his emotions that were about to go violent, narrowed his eyes into a straight line, and touched his neatly trimmed short beard with his hand.  I secretly thought in my heart that this guy is either a fool who doesn't know anything, or he is a traitor with excellent psychological quality.

    But originally, arresting Zhao Shouzheng was just a gamble on luck, and Ni Tuiguan would certainly not let him go just because he might not know about it.  Instead, we need to try our best to see if we can find something like that from him.

    It seems that this is an arduous tug of war

    "Don't think that because you are a civil servant, you can be unscrupulous. As long as we, the Ministry of Culture and Etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, can immediately deprive you of your fame and make you a commoner."

    Ni Tuiguan prepared his mind and decided to scare him first.

    "Looking at your age, it's not easy to win the lottery after all your hard work. Is it worth it to go that far for something that has nothing to do with you?"

    "It's not worth it." Zhao Shouzheng shook his head.  Suddenly thinking of his son's negotiation with Zhang Zhixian of Shangyuan County, he grimaced and said, "Sir, please give me a price. How much will it cost to let me go?"

    "What?" Ni Tuiguan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this guy was treating him as a blackmailer.  He couldn't help but angrily slapped the case and said:

    "That's nonsense, who do you think I am?!"

    Zhao Shouzheng shrank his neck, thinking that he was not a good person anyway.

    Ni Tuiguan tried all his tricks to coax and scare him, but he couldn't get any answers out of his mouth.

    This is not because Zhao Shouzheng is too strict with his mouth.  Instead, he went to sleep obediently the night before and had no idea what happened next.

    It is said that there is nothing in the first place, so where is the dust?  If you ask someone who doesn't know anything, you won't be able to tell anything.

    "Damn it! If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty!" Ni Tuiguan gritted his teeth and said: "Don't think that because you are being promoted, I can't deal with you!"

    He then ordered people to lock Zhao Shouzheng into the prison room to entertain him.

    The squad room is located in the courtyard where the third shift of the Yamen is on duty. It is used to temporarily detain suspects who have not yet been convicted and have committed relatively minor crimes.

    ¡°Just like there is a prison boss in a cell, there is also a bully in the squad room.  All suspects who enter must follow the rules and be bullied by the bullies.

    ¡°In many cases, class bullies are deliberately placed in the class room by officials to monitor prisoners and extract confessions from prisoners.

    Official Ni decided to use his class bullies to deal with Zhao Shouzheng. These scoundrels don¡¯t care whether you lift people or not. As long as there is a reward, they will never show mercy

    ??~~

    The officer was about to take Zhao Shouzheng out of the official hall when he saw Zhao Hao coming in following Wu Shilai.

    "Father!" Zhao Hao hurriedly ran to Zhao Shouzheng and said, "They?Bullying you?  "

    "It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Shouzheng held his son's hand tightly and said, "Is my son worried?"

    Seeing that Zhao Hao was brought here by Mr. Shaofu, the guards did not stop the two of them.

    "You guys wait here." Wu Shilai had met Zhao Shouzheng. After greeting him, he told the officers not to embarrass Zhao Hao and his son, and then went into the official hall with a straight face.

    ??~~

    Official Ni Tui hurriedly came out of the inner hall to greet Mr. Shaofu.

    "Brother Ni Xian, that Zhao Xiaolian outside is my brother," Wu Shilai suppressed his anger and asked politely, "What on earth did he commit?"

    ????????????? As the official official, he can nominally intervene in everything, but except for the academic and political system, he does not have much authority in other matters such as money, food, punishment, and reputation.

    "Oh, isn't this a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple?" Ni Tuiguan said in his heart that he was really shocked. This move was considered the right move.  Then he said with a look of surprise: "That's great, please help the young master to persuade him to hand over his things as soon as possible and then he can go home."

    "What is it?" Wu Shilai was stunned and said, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"

    "Since the Young Master asked the question, I will tell the truth." Ni Tuiguan lowered his voice and said: "It is an account belonging to Lu Bing's family, and now we suspect that it is in their hands"

    "Hiss" Wu Shilai took a breath after hearing this.

    Who is Lu Bing?  The most trusted nanny brother of Emperor Jiajing in the former dynasty, the only official in this dynasty who had the title of "three nobles and three orphans", had been the leader of the Jinyi Guard for more than 20 years!

    In the Jiajing Dynasty, he was really a first-rate big shot who stomped his feet and shook the capital.

    At that time, Lu Bing was the most powerful and wealthy man in the world. Legend has it that his entire family property added up to more than 10 million taels of silver, making him the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

    But he did too many bad things. He acted as a minion of Emperor Jiajing and persecuted many loyal people to death.  He also monitored King Yu for a long time, which caused a profound psychological shadow on the future emperor.

    Although Lu Bing passed away a few years ago, Emperor Longqing still harbored deep resentment against him. Immediately after he ascended the throne, he set up a prison to trace his crimes back then.

    As a result, not only were his son Lu Yi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, his brother Taichang Qing Lu Wei and others all imprisoned and severely tortured, but all the Lu family's property in the capital, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were also confiscated.

    According to Wu Shilai¡¯s understanding, the case is still under investigation, and it is said that Lu Bing¡¯s ten major crimes have been unearthed.  But the property seized was far lower than the court expected

    With Taicang¡¯s silver only being enough for three months, one can imagine the imperial court¡¯s hunger for the Lu family¡¯s legendary tens of millions of assets.

    Wu Shilai heard that His Majesty specially sent people from Dongchang to Zhejiang to recover the stolen goods, and locked more than 300 members of the Lu family in cells.  If they don't spit out the transferred property, they won't release the people!

    How terrible must the account books that came out of the Lu family¡¯s hands at this time be?
