Chapter 273: Kindness

Seeing that Er Mazi took the initiative to confess, Kochifu immediately pretended to be serious and asked, "How much do you know about these five people." If they can be arrested and brought to justice based on the information you confessed, the government can consider giving you a lenient punishment. ”

After obtaining his assurance, Er Mazi immediately opened his mouth to report the names of the other five dealers. They usually have to go to the Li Mansion to report their accounts, so they can occasionally meet each other. After a long time, these five people basically knew each other. Sometimes, when they meet outside, they will take the initiative to say hello to a few other people.

According to the list provided by Ermazi, the Kochifu immediately issued an arrest warrant. I have to say that the efficiency of the government officials is high, and it didn't take long to arrest the other five dealers.

Faced with the arrest without warning, the other five were in a panic. They are usually used to acting as a blessing, and they have never been openly found bad luck by the government. Now that Leng Buding has been arrested by the government, they inevitably feel panicked. In addition to panicking, they all had a hint of luck, hoping that this arrest was a misunderstanding.

It wasn't until they saw the rich man Li kneeling in the public court that the luck in the hearts of these people was shattered at this moment. Even the owners behind the scenes have been arrested, and it seems that they are indeed doomed this time.

In the face of the five difficult brothers who were arrested, Er Mazi Ma sincerely persuaded him beside him: "Five brothers, Rich Master Li has been arrested now. If the brothers still want to get a way out, the only option is to confess all the crimes they have committed before. Kochi is a kind-hearted person, as long as we explain 1510, we will definitely be able to be lightly punished in the end. ”

Listen to his persuasion. The other five couldn't help but look at each other. They had wanted to rebel, but now it seemed like they needed to reconsider.

In the face of Er Mazi's interest, Kochifu was quite satisfied, and immediately asked with a soothing face: "You can recognize the current situation, you are really a discerning person, but unfortunately you have embarked on the evil road of heavy profit and exploitation." In this case, if you can confess all the crimes you have committed in the past, this government will give you a light sentence. ”

When Er Mazi heard this, he immediately said with a grateful face: "Thank you, my lord, the grass people must tell the truth about the crimes they committed before." There will be no concealment. ”

The time to come. Er Mazi began to count the usury he had released before. Since he needed to keep track of his accounts and report them to Rich Li regularly, he remembered every loan he had made over the years. When he is usually idle, he often looks through the ledger in his hand. This time it came in handy.

Listened to his detailed report. Kochifu's complexion gradually began to turn blue. He knew that the rich man Li had been a little unscrupulous over the years. But I didn't expect it to be so rampant.

Before this, the Kochi Mansion was still dissatisfied with Su Wen and Mo Yi, but at this time, his thoughts have completely changed. Under his protection. The rich man Li is so unscrupulous in lending usury, which is out of his control. If this case was not sent to him but was exposed to Yushi, he would be in big trouble, and he would not end up with a ruined family.

Holding back the anger in his heart, Kochifu looked through the looted ledgers. The above accounts are very detailed, they are exactly what Er Mazi usually does, and they are the same as his explanation at this time.

After questioning Ermazi's crimes, the Kochifu then interrogated five other people. Their situation is similar to that of Er Mazi, and they are extremely clear about the accounts they handle. By the time they had finished explaining the situation, more than an hour had passed. This is the result of their streamlining, otherwise it would have taken longer.

After combing through the accounts, the rich man Li's accumulated crimes were finally revealed to the world. By now, Rich Man Li had no luck in his heart, and knew that this time he would definitely die.

The stunned wood slapped suddenly, and the Kochifu immediately reprimanded angrily with a gloomy face: "Li Shoucai, I really didn't expect you to be so bold." Under the governance of this government, you dare to be so unscrupulous and exploit profits. For the unforgivable scourge of your crime, this government will not tolerate it this time, and sentence you to be beheaded after the autumn. ”

Hearing the verdict, the crowd outside the hall was in an uproar, followed by cheers one after another. Being able to sentence a bully like Rich Li to the Autumn Queen is definitely a result that everyone expected.

When the noise outside the hall fell, the Kochi Mansion continued to pronounce the verdict: "Li Shoucai, in view of the seriousness of your crime of heavy profit and exploitation, it can be seen that the source of your family's wealth is definitely not the right way. In order to uphold justice, the government ordered the raid of the Li family and the surrender of all the property in the palace to the state treasury. If there is a victim of heavy profit, the additional interest paid can be claimed with the receipt. ”

After the verdict was announced, the Kochifu immediately announced its withdrawal. He was now frightened by the matter of Rich Master Li, and needed a quiet environment to sort out some messy thoughts.

Back in the back house, Kochifu immediately fell into thought. To be honest, he did deliberately indulge Rich Man Li in lending usury among the people, but he didn't expect that things would evolve to such a serious point. He originally thought that Rich Li was a person who knew what to do, at least he would not make the usury business known to everyone, but now it seems that he was wrong before.

As for the seriousness of the exploitation of heavy profits, the Kochi government is naturally aware of it. One of the most severe punishments of this dynasty was heavy profiteering, and almost as soon as the sentence was pronounced, it was the death penalty.

From the rich man Li, the Kochi Mansion thought of other Yunzhou forces that were attached to him. With his protection, are they becoming more and more unscrupulous like the rich man Li? He just thought about it, and the answer came to him. There is no doubt that those forces are interested in interests, and of course they will not accept them when they see a good situation.

Knowing this, Kochifu suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He has always regarded himself as cautious, but he never thought that so many hidden dangers had been buried unconsciously.

After the initial shock, Kochifu immediately calmed down. By now, there was no point in him regretting it, and the top priority was to find a way to solve the problem. He pondered in secret, comparing the benefits of those forces with the hidden dangers, and finally made up his mind to eradicate these scourges.

I have to say that Kochifu is really decisive. He was not blinded by the immediate interests and made an extremely wise choice.

As soon as the verdict came out, the subordinates of the Marquis of Yongning Mansion immediately ran out of the crowd of onlookers and immediately ran in the direction where Sweet Mi was. The news was sent to Sweet Honey as soon as possible, which was explained by their family father. If they are accidentally delayed, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around in the end.

After receiving the verdict, Su Wen and Mo Yi looked at each other and smiled. Everything was as they expected, and the Kochi Mansion really chose to kill the rich man Li.

Looking back and seeing the light smile on Chen Dequan's face, Su Wen didn't feel weak at all, but generously shared the news sent by the Hou Mansion with him. In her opinion, she did use Chen Dequan's influence this time, but there was nothing unkind, so there was no need to feel weak at all.

Before the incident, Su Wen had already obtained Chen Dequan's consent, although he did not clarify the matter in advance. Chen Dequan's condition at that time was not to violate morality, and obviously this matter met this condition.

After listening to his introduction, Chen Dequan's mood did not seem to be affected in the slightest, but said with a smile: "Su Wen girl, your trick can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." In addition to helping the young woman, you also helped the Kochi Mansion by the way. With this incident, he owes you a favor again, but I wonder if he will remember it? ”

As for the question of whether the Kochi government will repay the favor, Su Wen has no interest at all. In her opinion, Kochifu is actually a stranger, and what she wants to do has nothing to do with her.

Compared with the matter of repaying the favor, Su Wen is more curious about how the Kochi Mansion has benefited. She obviously deliberately embarrassed him this time, why did she accidentally help him? She had to figure this out so that she could prevent the same thing from happening in the future. It's a wonderful feeling to be trying to calculate someone, but you inadvertently help someone.

Having doubts in his heart, Su Wen immediately asked curiously: "Shibo, what do you say?" Su Wen was obviously asking for trouble for him, how could he help him instead? ”

Seeing Su Wen humbly asking for advice, Chen Dequan immediately explained in a good mood: "On the surface, you sent Rich Master Li to him, which made him feel embarrassed, but in fact it was not. If he had been able to seriously handle the case of the rich man, he would have found that many things had been out of his grasp, and this would have aroused his vigilance. ”

Seeing him say this, Hong Qian immediately smiled and answered: "If he is a smart person, he will definitely learn the lesson of this time and uproot all the similar risks hidden around him." In that sense, the two of you have really helped him a lot. ”

After listening to their explanations, Su Wen suddenly said: "If these hidden dangers are removed, he will have a lot of evidence that can be used by the imperial history to talk about anything, and he will also remove a lot of unfavorable evidence for his conviction." To put it more seriously, with the unintentional help of the two of us this time, he may be able to avoid the catastrophe of destroying his family in the future. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Chen Dequan replied with a smile: "That's right, you're right." If the crime of connivance and exploitation is confirmed, it will end up being lost. Such a great favor, how do you think he should repay it? ”

Su Wen listened, and said nonchalantly: "For me, it doesn't matter, anyway, I didn't mean to, I didn't intend to let him appreciate it." If he really feels that his conscience is disturbed, he should do less of these things in the future, and do not harm them. (To be continued......)
