The refusal of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce to cooperate inevitably made Zhu Wenqi a little angry on his face, but he did not rush to perform, but cautiously took the first step to test.

A document recording the evidence of the Maritime Division's illegality was sent to the Quanzhou Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office.

As the Metropolitan Procuratorate set up in Quanzhou for vertical management, the Metropolitan Prosecutor did not need to give any face to the Quanzhou Prefect's Yamen at all, and the ironclad evidence was like a mountain, and the Metropolitan Prosecutor directly arrested the Si Cheng of the Quanzhou Shipping Division.

As for how the latter was stubborn and resistant to interrogation in the prison, it was no longer important what mattered, but the impact of this incident on Quanzhou.

Although this incident did not prove that Zhu Wenqi operated it, it still shocked everyone.

You must know that Zhu Wenqi on the front foot asked the shipping department and the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce to be rejected, and someone on the back foot reported the corruption and lawlessness of the shipping department with detailed evidence, which is even more obvious.

"It's not Jinyiwei, it's made by the West Factory."

In Quanzhou, an inner circle where needles cannot be inserted and water cannot be spilled, Si Cheng, as the most important link in this bond of interests, will have sufficient evidence to send him to prison.

In addition to Jinyiwei or the more mysterious West Factory has this strength.

Combined with the title and identity of Zhu Wenqi's clan relatives, all the people in this interest circle smelled danger.

But soon, something happened that made the officials of Quanzhou officialdom celebrate with their crowns.

Si Cheng died violently in the prison!

The cause of death was taking Heding Red.

I didn't do anything before I died.

"Check! Strictly investigate this house! ”

At the meeting of the government department, Chen Tianzheng was like thunder: "All the officials on duty that day were all arrested and handed over to the prosecutor for interrogation, and the instigator behind the scenes must be found out to the government, this is simply lawless." ”

Everyone was silent under Chen Tianzheng's anger, and according to the judge, Sizheng couldn't stop wiping his sweat: "Please rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to supervise this matter and strive to solve the case within a month." ”

"A month?"

Chen Tian's face was like frost, and his eyes were as cold as blades: "Ten days, if you can't solve the case within ten days, you can go home and farm." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

The man Vino responded, but after sitting down, a pair of angry eyes looked at Zhu Wenqi, who of course ignored this.

Even, Zhu Wenqi was even angrier than him.

It's easy to secretly mobilize the West Factory to take down the shipping division, but before any valuable information can be set out, the person died in prison.

However, this incident also made Zhu Wenqi feel a lot more vigilant, and Quanzhou seemed to be rotten.

Zhu Wenqi, who had a heavy heart, glanced at Ma Qiliang, who was sitting not far away, with an ancient complexion, and then glanced at Chen Tianzheng, who was still in a frenzy, and couldn't judge the true thoughts of the two for a while.

After Chen Tianzheng finished sending the biao, Ma Qiliang followed: "Of course the culprit must be investigated now, but the position of the shipping department cannot be vacant, and a capable person should be appointed first." ”

After that, he looked at Zhu Wenqi with a smile and asked, "The Shipping Department and the Cao Transportation Department are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce, does Zhu Sizheng have any candidates to recommend?" ”

Zhu Wenqi, who asked this, sneered in his heart, it has been less than three days since he took up his new position, and the officials of the Department of Commerce, large and small, have not yet recognized it, who do they recommend?

"If Zhu Sizheng doesn't have any recommendations, I would suggest that Cheng Wei, deputy director of the Shipping Department, come and take over this shift."

Ma Qiliang put forward two candidates: "Or let Xu Bin take on the same role, these two are familiar with the business of the shipping department, and they will not delay their work after taking over." ”

After that, Ma Qiliang looked at Chen Tianzheng: "What about the Honorable Mansion?" ”

Chen Tianzheng ignored him, but after muttering for a while, he threw out a bombshell: "When the front foot is in the prison, the back foot is poisoned, which shows that there are a lot of things hidden here."

Whether the shipping department is honest or not is already a questionable thing, it is not appropriate to let Wei Zhun take over, and the opinion of this government has made Zhu Sizheng personally serve as the shipping director, so as to facilitate a thorough investigation. ”

This nomination, even Zhu Wenqi himself was dumbfounded.

Now that the whole of Quanzhou knows that he Zhu Wenqi is investigating the smuggling in Quanzhou, let Zhu Wenqi concurrently work in the shipping department, Chen Tianzheng is not afraid that something will happen?

looked at Ma Qiliang again, and sure enough, he found that his face became extremely embarrassed.

However, this was only a matter of a moment, Ma Qiliang's face returned to normal, and he expressed his support for Chen Tianzheng's proposal.

The first and second leaders agreed to it, and the others were not qualified to intervene and put their beaks, so they all agreed.

In this way, Zhu Wenqi himself was still confused, and he was pushed to the front line of thorough investigation of smuggling.

After the meeting, Zhu Wenqi was named by Chen Tianzheng again: "Zhu Sizheng is coming to this mansion." ”

In the conference room, dozens of eyes looked at Zhu Wenqi, including Ma Qiliang, who had just picked up the tea bowl after cleaning up the table.

"Yes."

Zhu Wenqi held his head high, too lazy to look at Ma Qiliang's expression, and followed Chen Tianzheng out of the conference room with his head held high.

The two entered Chen Tianzheng's office one after the other, and as soon as they sat down, Chen Tianzheng spoke: "Zhu Si is a clan relative, and it is easier to carry out the work of concurrently serving as the Shipping Division, after all, it is the father-in-law of the Imperial Front Division who performs the supervision task in the Shipping Division. ”

Zhu Wenqi was silent for a moment, and carefully smacked through the metaphor in Chen Tianzheng's words.

In the matter of smuggling in Quanzhou, the Shipping Department is the front line of corruption, so Chen Tianzheng's words are reminding him that the father-in-law of the Imperial Front Division who is stationed in Quanzhou Port to carry out supervision tasks has also been corrupted.

This is both a reminder and a temptation, if Zhu Wenqi's background is all over the sky, he will naturally dare to investigate, if he is just an ordinary clansman, dare to provoke the imperial front secretary?

"Your Majesty once said that no matter who is involved in a case of suspected corruption, there is no matter how big or small the head is killed."

Zhu Wenqi said solemnly: "Tigers must be beaten, flies must also be swatted, justice and corruption do not exist in the possibility of peaceful coexistence, only to investigate to the end and never tolerate." ”

Chen Tianzheng raised his eyebrows, and had already made a rough estimate of Zhu Wenqi's energy in his heart.

"Zhu Sizheng is right, it involves corruption, no matter how big or small it is, no matter who it is, it will never be tolerated, the shipping department is corrupt and bribe-taking, but people are so abruptly killed in prison, which shows that this shady scene is not small.

It's a pity that the officials of the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Department failed to find anything valuable in his home, and the clue was interrupted. ”

Sighing, Chen Tianzheng smiled again: "It's ridiculous, in addition to the bank account used to save the stolen money obtained from corruption, this fang has only found eighteen taels of silver, tsk, if it weren't for the conclusive evidence, it would be a Qing official." ”

"Fu Zun remembers these things clearly."

Zhu Wenqi laughed a couple of sentences, and dealt with Chen Tianzheng for a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye.

"Don't disturb the work of the house, and retire."

"Well, hurry up and go to the shipping department to familiarize yourself with it first."

Chen Tianzheng got up and shook hands with Zhu Wenqi, and then watched the latter leave.
