The so-called smuggling case of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce seems to have caused a huge sensation, but in fact it is nothing more than a turbulent undercurrent, and hundreds of thousands of people in Quanzhou City have not even learned of the news through any media.

The thunder is loud and the rain is small, but it is actually a gust of wind.

In this case, there were nothing more than a few scapegoat-like small businessmen on the left and right who were pulled out and beheaded, plus the heads of more than a dozen corrupt officials under the shipping department and the judicial department.

After the seizure of 1,170,000 taels of dirty silver from the homes of corrupt officials and the recovery of 2,350,000 taels of customs duties from smuggled merchants, the Department of Commerce issued a huge fine to the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

The total amount is three times that of the escaped tariff, that is, seven million and fifty thousand taels.

As soon as he received this fine, Ma Chi led all the merchants of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce to raise funds and pay them to the Department of Commerce, without even delaying for a moment.

This list of achievements is dazzling enough.

"The people applauded, ran to tell each other, and even the copy and punishment were counted as more than 10 million, which is enough."

As soon as he thought of Chen Tianzheng's words after closing the case, Zhu Wenqi's heart was as disgusting as eating flies.

There is no way to find out the clues in the poisoning prison of the shipping department, but a guard took a bribe of 500 taels from a Quanzhou businessman, and sent a bottle of Heding red to the prison.

Both the merchant who had bribed the yacha and the yacha had their heads cut off, and no valuable information was revealed until they died.

"Somebody must have bought their lives, or the lives of their families."

In his heart, Zhu Wenqi had already decided that there must be a large smuggling network and interest groups in Quanzhou, and that the power of these people entangled together was so great that not a small businessman or an insignificant government could compete with it.

Death is more of a relief for these people.

Those who have surfaced have all died, so how can we find out those who have not surfaced?

In this regard, Zhu Wenqi has a way, that is, to find Dou He, the supervising eunuch of Quanzhou Port.

Dou He must know a lot of information about the smuggling in Quanzhou, but there are only two ways to make Dou He speak, one is to report to the Nanjing Imperial Front Division and let Shuangxi bring people back for interrogation, and the other is to find Dou He directly and expose his identity as the prince.

Of the two methods, the latter was directly rejected by Zhu Wenqi, but the first one is still very operable.

"In the case of smuggling in Quanzhou Port, Dou He, who was responsible for supervision, did not handle things well, and he was deprived of all his posts in vain, and he was escorted to Nanjing Heavenly Prison for trial on the same day."

When the eunuch from Nanjing read out the decision of the Imperial Division, this great eunuch who was independent of 10,000 people in Quanzhou was directly paralyzed to the ground, and all thoughts were lost.

After entering the prison, no matter how many secrets are guaranteed, they will be shaken away.

"Come on, take Dou He away."

The little eunuch didn't bother to look at Dou He's-urine nest, waved his hand, and several brocade guards behind him stepped forward to shackle Dou He and pushed him to the prisoner car not far away.

At this moment, dozens of Quanzhou officials who were waiting at the same time all focused their eyes on Dou He.

One step, two steps.

"Whew!"

The sound of breaking the air sounded, and at the moment when everyone didn't come back to their senses, Dou He, who was already trembling and standing tall, was planted straight on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

At the back of the neck, a short tail feather trembled.

"There are assassins!"

"Protector Angel!"

"Protect the Mansion!"

The first sentence was shouted by the Jinyi guards present, Chen Tianzheng shouted the second sentence, and the third sentence was shouted by Ma Qiliang.

At the scene, hundreds of Jinyi guards and Quanzhou yacha drew their swords in their hands to protect the little eunuchs, Chen Tianzheng and others from Nanjing in the center.

"The standard steel crossbow produced in the thirty-fourth year of the Emperor Ming Dynasty is equipped with arrows, with a range of sixty zhang, and the assassin is not far from here."

A Jinyi Wei General Qi pulled out a crossbow arrow, recognized it after just one glance, and then looked around and pointed to a six-story seaside building not far away: "That direction, go quickly!" ”

On the outermost periphery, dozens of brocade-clothed guards galloped out on horses.

"The criminals of the Imperial Front Si Qinna dare to assassinate, and in the meantime, our family has returned to Nanjing, and we must truthfully report to the chief administrator and report to the Holy Long Live the Imperial Front!"

The little eunuch was frightened, and then he jumped to his feet and scolded, pointing at Chen Tianzheng's direction and a large group of Quanzhou officials were furious.

Not to mention that the little eunuch was annoyed, Chen Tianzheng was obviously more angry than him.

"You have to get people out, you have to get people out! The assassins will not be caught, and the officials present today, from their own officials and below, are ready to submit their resignations to the cabinet! ”

When Chen Tianzheng was furious, Zhu Wenqi was watching from a short distance, and through Chen Tianzheng's expression, Zhu Wenqi could see a little shock and real annoyance.

It doesn't seem like Chen Tianzheng arranged this matter, because this trick is really too ostentatious.

The Imperial Commander announced that he had taken someone on the front foot, and Dou He was shot on the back foot, indicating that there was an assassin who had been secretly keeping an eye on Dou He all the time, and if Dou He had not had an accident, then this assassin would probably never have carried out the assassination.

And once it is found that Dou He may be arrested, then kill him directly!

Moreover, the place where I came to announce the results was not in Quanzhou City, and I was afraid of an accident, so I chose to go directly to Quanzhou Port Dou and the place where I worked to get people, but there was still a leak.

This shows that among the officials at the scene, some people revealed the news.

But since he can directly reveal the news, why not report to Dou He directly and let the latter escape by boat or hide?

Instead, he chose to shoot Dou He in front of everyone, and slapped the imperial secretary and Nanjing hard, such a vicious provocation is to incite evil fire, and to hold back the anger of Nanjing, so as to kill Quanzhou.

Thinking about it, Zhu Wenqi felt that his brain was swollen, and he reached out and pressed his temples.

"It's not safe here now, let's go back to the city and settle down at the reception first."

The Quanzhou Jinyi Guard, who was in charge of guarding the scene, commanded the servants to go to the little eunuch and made a suggestion, and immediately organized the matter of returning to the city after getting permission.

"Report to the angel, the assassin killed himself during the capture."

This result is not surprising to anyone, but if it can be caught alive, it doesn't make sense.

"Can you find out?"

Jinyi Wei asked, and after getting the whispered report, his color changed greatly.

"Who did it?"

The little eunuch sat in the car wheel, pulled the window probe out and asked a question, and the servant stayed near the window and whispered a word.

At this moment, the little eunuch's face also changed.

He took a deep look at Chen Tianzheng's direction and threw down the curtain.

"Quanzhou will not enter, our family will go back to Nanjing now to resume their lives!"

The team turned around, but left a large cloud in its wake.
