Chapter 497: In Quanzhou (14)

In just three days, Chen Tianzheng's sideburns were dyed white.

Although Nanjing has not yet taken any attitude to deal with it, but when this kind of thing happens, Chen Tianzheng feels that he is already unable to protect his career, and he has been unable to sleep for three days, and he is riddled with all kinds of negative emotions of urgency, anger, worry, and hatred, and it is not difficult to understand that his green hair has turned white.

"Lord Fuzun."

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded first, and then the attendant who pushed the door in and came in anxiously reported: "The commissioner of Nanjing West Factory is here." ”

This sentence suddenly made Chen Tian feel like he was struck by lightning.

The West Factory intervened, and it was all over.

"Where are the people?"

Chen Tianzheng, who stood up tremblingly on the table, had just had time to ask a question, when he heard dense footsteps again, and more than a dozen people broke into his office, the highest power in the entire Quanzhou.

The leader was a tall and heroic young man, but his clean and fair cheeks were also recognizable to Chen Tianzheng at a glance.

This is a eunuch.

From the most basic fan to the special agent, to the command, and finally to the top factory governor, none of them are eunuchs, but once the commissioner sent by the West Factory is a eunuch, it means one thing.

The emperor doesn't trust anyone anymore!

The West Factory operates in accordance with special control regulations and does not belong to the Daming Law and any local legal authority.

In a word, it is to cut first and then play, and the imperial power is licensed!

"Chen Tianzheng, the prefect of Quanzhou, has seen his father-in-law."

Although he was nervous and frightened, Chen Tianzheng still took two deep breaths, suppressed all the discomfort, and bowed solemnly.

The eunuch who came also responded with a smile: "Sun Hao, the former secretary of our family, was ordered by the emperor to supervise the assassination of the eunuch Dou He in Quanzhou Port, and first announced His Majesty's decree."

Since the time of our arrival in Quanzhou, Quanzhou should be in charge of affairs, temporarily handed over to the cabinet special group to manage, Quanzhou prefect Chen Tianzheng, Tongzhi Ma Qiliang and all the departments and departments are resigned, subject to the West Factory inspection. ”

One assassination, one life.

so easily pushed the entire Quanzhou officialdom into the abyss.

Chen Tianzheng didn't have too much fear and grief, but breathed a sigh of relief: "Minister, thank you for your orders." ”

"Take it."

Sun Hao waved his hand, and the two fans behind him stepped forward to hold Chen Tianzheng's arms, but they were not handcuffed with torture equipment.

After Chen Tianzheng was taken away, the entire Quanzhou prefect's yamen, and all the directors of all departments, including Zhu Wenqi, were taken away, and they will enter the Quanzhou reception office, which is temporarily under full alert by the Quanzhou group army, to be interrogated.

After the departure of this group of people, a large group of officials selected by the cabinet from various ministries will temporarily take over their work, taking full control of Quanzhou's administrative functions and powers, and ensuring that there will be no empty officials in Quanzhou.

And after the Quanzhou officials headed by Chen Tianzheng were interrogated, everything that happened in Quanzhou was destined to be revealed.

On the second floor of the reception room, the first person to be interrogated was naturally Chen Tianzheng.

In a light-filled, clean and tidy room, Chen Tianzheng and Sun Hao sat opposite each other in the hall.

Apart from the two, there was only one clerk in charge of the records, and there was no superfluous person.

There is no fierce and vicious Xichang Fanzi, and there is no cold and terrifying blade torture instrument.

Yes, just two cups of steaming hot tea.

"Let's put it in a nutshell."

Sun Hao's expression was very relaxed, as if in his eyes, a lot of messy things that happened in Quanzhou wanted to be investigated, and for him, he only needed to ask casually.

That's the advantage of the level overhang.

No one dared to deceive the West Factory, and no one thought that they could deceive the one in Nanjing.

Because no one wants to try it, there is only the torture of the West Factory that I have heard of.

"Tell me what happened in Quanzhou and why these things happened."

Sun Hao took out a dense secret book full of words and closed it after looking at it, and then looked at Chen Tianzheng: "Let's talk about the source of the first thing first, after Zhu Meikun landed in Quanzhou to be the director of the Department of Commerce, he found that Quanzhou was suspected of smuggling, and ordered the Shipping Department and the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce to count logarithmarily, but he has been treated by Yang Fengyin and Yin.

After that, the materials reported on the corruption and bribery of Cheng Wenbin, the former director of the Maritime Division, were submitted to the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Division, who routinely detained Wen Bin for interrogation, and threw him into prison after the evidence was conclusive, ready to be transferred to Nanjing and handed over to the Three Law Divisions.

It was this night that Wen Bin committed suicide by taking poison. ”

After finishing the general outline, Sun Hao looked at Chen Tianzheng and asked a few questions: "There are a few points in this matter that need to be explained by Chen Tianzheng."

First, who reported Wen Bin for corruption and bribery?

Second, why did the Metropolitan Procuratorate not transfer Wen Bin to Nanjing as soon as possible after detaining and interrogating him, but first settled in the prison cell of the Prosecutor.

Third, in the report you made about Wen Bin's suicide by taking poison, it was said that a Quanzhou businessman bought the detainees' bathing feet and took Hedinghong into the prison to hand over Wen Bin, which gave Wen Bin the opportunity to commit suicide by taking poison, but how did an ordinary Quanzhou businessman know that Wen Bin was detained by the Metropolitan Prosecutor, and how did he know that Wen Bin would not be transferred to Nanjing by the Metropolitan Prosecutor that night, but would spend the night in the prison of the Metropolitan Prosecutor? ”

These questions were sharper and sharper, and they also made the tip of Chen Tianzheng's nose sweat slightly, although he was a little nervous, but after organizing for a while, Chen Tianzheng still answered one by one.

"This first question, I really don't know who reported Wen Bin, the response of the Metropolitan Prosecutor was that he only received a letter of accusation, and the payment was made by a conscientious Quanzhou Port official.

The second question is that after Wen Bin was interrogated by the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Division, the reason why he was not transferred to Nanjing was my order, and I suggested to the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Division that although Wen Bin's corruption and bribery case had been investigated clearly, he was probably suspected of smuggling, and this crime had not yet been dug up, so he should be temporarily detained in Quanzhou.

The third question, in addition to me, those who knew that Wen Bin would temporarily stay in Quanzhou and not be transferred to Nanjing were Ma Qiliang Tongzhi, Ge Biao, the former chief prosecutor, Yan Lian, and Zhu Meikun, the chief of commerce. ”

In fact, who reported Wen Bin's matter, Xichang has already investigated clearly.

It is what Zhu Wenqi instructed the special intelligence department of Quanzhou West Factory to do.

Therefore, Chen Tianzheng said that he did not know, which can be said in the past.

On the second question, Chen Tianzheng's answer also has some truth.

The purpose of detaining Wen Bin in Quanzhou is to dig deep into the crime of smuggling behind Wen Bin's back.

As for the third question, Chen Tianzheng's answer was to give Sun Hao a multiple-choice question, many people know, who is the leaker?

Everyone is suspicious.

The clerk wrote down all the numbers and nodded at Sun Hao, who didn't dwell on them much, so he continued to speak: "Then let's go along with the question."

Since Wen Bin committed suicide by taking poison, Zhu Meikun, the director of the Department of Commerce, received a report that there were smuggled goods in the 18th storage area of Quanzhou Port.

The stolen goods were seized at the scene, and the smuggled goods were found, and then it was reported that the prosecutor assisted in handling the case, and Zhao Wu, the leader of the prosecutor, obstructed the case and intended to destroy the scene of the smuggling investigation.

At this juncture, Jin Kaihe of the Quanzhou Special Intelligence Department of our West Factory arrived with Jinyiwei, saying that he had received a report that there were Dongying spies in Quanzhou Port, and in the process of verification, Zhao Wu escaped and was killed, which also prompted Zhu Meikun's investigation of private affairs to be successfully completed.

There are also several problems in this development.

How did Zhu Meikun receive the report that there were smuggled goods in the 18th district of Quanzhou Port Warehouse?

Why did Zhao Wu obstruct the investigation of private cases?

Who did Jin Kaihe of the West Factory report to learn that there were Dongying spies in Quanzhou Port? ”

In the face of these problems, Chen Tianzheng is also honest and discerning.

"The news of the existence of smuggled goods in the 18th storage area of Quanzhou Port was revealed to Zhu Meikun.

The reason why Zhao Wu obstructed the handling of the case was that he was instructed by Ge Biao, the former director of the Prosecutor's Office, who was the protective umbrella of the smuggling gang of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and Zhao Wu took money from the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce to share the accounts and was the beneficiary of the smuggling interests.

As for the report received by the West Factory, I also arranged it, because I had long been worried that the Department of Commerce was likely to encounter resistance in the process of investigating smuggling, especially when the team led by Zhao Wu, the inspector, I sent someone to the Special Intelligence Department of the West Factory. ”

I have to say that Chen Tianzheng's methodical answer still added a lot of points to him, but Sun Hao's face still became ugly.

"You said that you were angry with Zhu Meikun, which means that you have long known that there is smuggling in Quanzhou, so why did you wait for Zhu Meikun to take office before secretly pushing Zhu Meikun to do it, instead of doing it yourself?

Also, you said that you know that Zhao Wu and Ge Biao are the umbrellas of the Quanzhou smuggling group, why have they not investigated, handled, or arrested? ”

Sweat began to drip uncontrollably from Chen Tianzheng's cheeks.
