The golden crow is on the head, and the sun is very warm.

But none of the officials who came in and out of the yamen of the Quanzhou prefect had the heart to bask in the warm spring sun.

Something big happened in Quanzhou.

Last night, there was a big smuggling case in the 18th district of Quanzhou Port Warehouse, and the most outrageous thing was that according to the action led by the prosecutor to assist in handling the case, he was convicted as a thief and spy, and he happened to be caught on the spot in the West Factory, and was shot dead in the process of escaping.

These messy things are connected together, if it is not for the promotion of people with intentions, how can there be so many coincidences in the world.

In the huge conference room of the prefect's yamen, officials of all sizes were neatly arranged, and Chen Tianzheng arrived at the scene early, sitting in the first place with a cold expression, and so was Ma Qiliang, who was the first on his left hand.

The expressions of the two were very serious, which also made every official who came to the meeting later frightened and confessed even though he was not late.

When Zhu Wenqi came in, his expression was also a little aggrieved, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and the bags under his eyes were also a little swollen, and it could be seen that he couldn't sleep all night.

"Fuzun, everyone has arrived."

Si Zheng, who is also Chen Tianzheng's hardcore confidant, finished the roster and reported to Chen Tianzheng.

Chen Tianzheng didn't speak, just sat in his position and was silent.

The prefect did not speak, and none of the dozens of people attending the meeting dared to speak in such a solemn atmosphere, and the silence lasted for a quarter of an hour.

"Last night, there was a lot of movement in Quanzhou."

Chen Tianzheng finally opened his mouth, but his voice was very hoarse, and he could hear it, and it was estimated that he had not slept all night and had a lot of fire.

"Before today's meeting begins, this government will first announce one thing, in view of the report from Xichang and this government last night, according to the actions of the prosecutor, Zhao Hu is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and the current prosecutor is being removed from his post and handed over to the metropolitan prosecutor for examination."

As soon as the words fell, some of the accompanying officials sitting on both sides of the conference room came out, stepped forward and pressed the judge with a shocked face, and then handcuffed and took him away.

Before the meeting began, there was already a Si Zheng who was unlucky, which made everyone's hearts smash a big stone.

It's estimated that something big is going to happen today.

"Zhu Sizheng."

Zhu Wenqi, who was looking at his nose and nose and pretending to be dumb, heard Chen Tianzheng's roll call and hurriedly woke up.

"Tell me what happened last night."

In the face of this instruction, Zhu Wenqi naturally did not shirk, looked at the book in front of him, looked around and said in a deep voice: "Last night, the Department of Commerce received a report that there may be smuggled goods in the eighteenth district of the storage area of Quanzhou Port.

After overnight interrogation and verification, all the goods in the 18th district had no freight list, no customs entry procedures, and were smuggled, as for the 18 districts belonged to the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the goods were unloaded from the shipping ships owned by the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

These ships were disembarked at Port No. 6 on the 6th, 9th, 14th, 23rd, 26th and 29th of the previous month, and all the officers of the Maritime Department who were on duty at Port No. 6 in those days have now been arrested overnight, and they all say that all the smuggling was under the orders of the former Maritime Director. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the conference room was in an uproar.

Everyone was furious and reprimanded: "The Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce is simply lawless, and dares to smuggle and evade taxes, and the shipping department is even more bold, corrupt and pervert the law, and let smugglers enter the customs." Fuzun, this case should be strictly investigated and sentenced as soon as possible, and dealt with severely! ”

"No wonder he died in prison violently, it turned out to be because of this."

Ma Qiliang also scolded angrily: "Does he think that he can cover up this case if he is dead, smuggling and smuggling, the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce is simply a crazy thief with no law, and he really wants to arrest them all, and he will be punished." ”

In the face of the verbal crusade in the entire conference room, Chen Tianzheng did not express his position, and waited until everyone had closed down before he spoke quietly: "Is it done scolding, if you finish scolding, then the house will say a few words." ”

"Listen to the instructions of the Lord."

The big guys responded to the words, and they all spread out the notebooks in front of them one by one, picked up the pen and made a bureaucratic posture of listening carefully.

"At present, the smuggling case of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Shipping Division is a certainty, so there is nothing to say, smuggling and tax evasion are state revenues, which is an extremely bad behavior that endangers national interests.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, all those involved in smuggling, covering for smuggling, and indulging in smuggling are severely punished, and now this government has ordered that all suspected businessmen of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce will be arrested and brought to justice according to the judges, and they will be interrogated one by one, and a bad person cannot be spared, nor can a good person be wronged. ”

The secretary of the department has been dismissed, and no one in the conference room responded, but fortunately, there was still the secretary of general affairs.

"The house is wise."

The big guys have expressed their support for Chen Tianzheng's decision, but as for how much is sincere, it is impossible to say.

Many people even scolded the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce in their hearts.

When Zhu Wenqi found that the accounts were wrong, he asked you to settle the accounts, why didn't he want to?

It's obviously something that can be settled with money, but if it has to be so big, everyone can't end it up now, what kind of energy!

"The second thing is a bit more bizarre."

Chen Tianzheng glanced around and sneered: "Last night, according to the prosecutor's office, he received a notice from the Department of Commerce's investigation and investigation department, and asked for help in arresting the on-site workers in the 18th district.

Who is the umbrella behind the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce?

If it was just this one thing, the Special Intelligence Department of the West Factory received a secret report that there were Dongying spies hidden in the storage area of Quanzhou Port, and after arriving at the scene, they received a bank coupon worth 50,000 taels from Zhao Wu.

As a result, the Xichang Special Intelligence Department suspected that Zhao Wu might be a spy of Dongying, and when he wanted to take the interrogation, Zhao Wu escaped and was killed. ”

At the end, Chen Tianzheng slapped the table directly.

"Tell me what this is called! After the Xichang action report is handed over to Nanjing, you have an idea for the government, how should the government report to the cabinet and His Majesty the mess done by this mess of things that appeared here! ”

The table slammed into the sky, and everyone was silent and silent.

"Check it, sooner or later, there will be a time when the water will come out."

As he spoke, Chen Tianzheng stood up: "The words of this house are here, you guys are very good, these two things, no matter who is involved, will definitely be investigated to the end and will not be tolerated." ”

Seeing Chen Tianzheng leave the scene angrily, a group of people laughed bitterly, and then their eyes all looked at Zhu Wenqi.

"Zhu Sizheng is really good, he has handled such a powerful case as soon as he came."

Ma Qiliang smiled, walked to Zhu Wenqi's side and patted the latter's shoulder: "And at present, Zhu Si's positive energy is extraordinary, if you want to investigate the shipping department, someone will immediately take the materials to the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Department to report and denounce."

In the eighteenth district, the people from the West Factory went to the scene to put out the fire, and they also killed Zhao Wu, who was suspected of being a spy of Dongying, which was really ruthless. ”

Zhu Wenqi slowly finished cleaning up the items on the table, got up and looked at Ma Qiliang: "Xia Guan really doesn't know anything about what happened during this time, Xia Guan drank with Dou Gonggong at the Bay Feast last night, this matter, many people can prove." ”

After speaking, Zhu Wenqi walked away, but paused beside Ma Qiliang: "Ma Tongzhi, the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce has planted this time, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, I don't know how many people will be unlucky." ”

"yes, yes."

Ma Qiliang was also laughing, and he couldn't see the slightest panic and worry: "I don't know how many people will be unlucky, but the unlucky ones are all this group of unscrupulous businessmen, who let them smuggle and evade taxes, they should!" ”

"They'll talk."

Zhu Wenqi patted the notebook he was holding in his hand: "It's like Wei Zhun of the Shipping Division, as long as they go to prison, as long as they are in prison, the official promises to take out all the secrets in their stomachs little by little, and they will not be tolerated after investigation!" ”

Looking at the back of Zhu Wenqi leaving, the corners of Ma Qiliang's mouth raised a trace of disdain.

"Oh, young and vigorous!"
