Just when Zhao Junchen was secretly thinking about his future plans, Li Chuanwen, as the leader of the staff team, also opened his mouth to summarize to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Zhao, after our detailed sorting, the reporting information provided by the Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen has been all summarized, just tonight, the thirty-seven Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen all sent a report letter to our house, they reported a total of eighty-two smuggling businessmen's smuggling crimes, and also involved two hundred and eighty-four officials of the imperial court above the seventh grade, With 371 credible incriminating evidence and clues, and another 133 pieces of information that still need to be determined, with these incriminating evidence, clues, and intelligence, as long as we confirm the authenticity of these information, and then arrange them a little, we can wipe out all the 81 smugglers, and those court officials who are related to the smugglers will all be in great trouble! ”

Speaking of which, even if Li Chuanwen had assisted many feudal officials of the imperial court, he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he still couldn't help but flush and his expression was excited at this moment.

As for the staff behind Li Chuanwen, they also had similar expressions.

At this moment, their eyes were all firmly fixed on the thick booklet in Zhao Junchen's hand - this booklet was sorted out by them personally, so they also knew very well what kind of power the contents of this booklet had! And after getting this booklet, what kind of influence does Zhao Junchen have!

As long as Zhao Junchen is willing to expose the contents of this booklet, then the entire situation between the government and the opposition will be turned upside down in an instant!

However, Zhao Junchen did not have this idea.

After slowly stroking the cover of the booklet, Zhao Junchen handed the booklet to Li Chuanwen again, and said: "Next, I still have to be fortunate to everyone, according to the official's thoughts, the content of this booklet needs to be rearranged again, and the evidence of all kinds of crimes in it should be divided into two parts, one part is the evidence of smuggling and tax evasion by businessmen, and the other part is the evidence of the court officials accepting bribes and participating in smuggling, and then recorded separately into a book!" When you're done sorting them out again, give me all three of them...... In addition, you must also control your own mouths in the future, and you must not say anything about tonight's events, especially the fact that this official has the actual evidence of the crimes of many court officials! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, the experienced Li Chuanwen immediately understood Zhao Junchen's intentions.

Zhao Junchen asked to divide the incriminating evidence and intelligence in the booklet into two parts, one part was about the smugglers, and the other part was about the court officials, and he also had to keep all the staff members tight-lipped and not divulge the incriminating evidence of the officials.

Zhao Junchen's choice also made Li Chuanwen secretly relieved.

Originally, he was also very worried that Zhao Junchen would be young and vigorous, and he couldn't resist the temptation, and planned to expose all the contents of this booklet in one go, intending to catch all the businessmen and officials involved in smuggling activities, and at that time, Zhao Junchen's actions will certainly shake the government and the opposition, but the people who will be unlucky in the end will never be those businessmen and officials who participate in smuggling activities, but Zhao Junchen himself!

After all, although the evidence in Zhao Junchen's hands is huge, because there are too many people involved, it is easy to arouse the jealousy and hostility of hundreds of officials!

In addition, there is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored, that is, "the law does not blame the public", if Zhao Junchen impeached 284 officials of the seventh grade or above in the imperial court in one go, even if the evidence is conclusive, Emperor Deqing will never punish these officials, after all, there are too many people, if all of them are punished, where will Emperor Deqing go to find so many replacement candidates? The fall of so many officials will inevitably shake the world, and how much will the reputation of the imperial court be lost at that time? Therefore, if Zhao Junchen really did this, then the final result would probably be that 284 corrupt officials were found not guilty by Emperor Deqing in the face of ironclad evidence, and Zhao Junchen, the person who reported it, would be punished by Emperor Deqing for disturbing the imperial court, falsely accusing colleagues, suppressing dissidents, and so on - after all, compared with 284 corrupt officials, it is much easier and less influential to punish Zhao Junchen, even if Zhao Junchen's impeachment is a public heart - similar things have happened many times in history.

In this way, if Zhao Junchen wants to expose all the contents of this booklet, it is naturally a way to seek death, and he wasted a good hand of cards in vain!

Fortunately, although Zhao Junchen got this booklet as a weapon, he did not get carried away, he was still able to remain calm and rational, and he also knew the truth of Xu Xu Tuzhi, but he also saved the advice of Li Chuanwen and others.

On the other side, after seeing the expressions of Li Chuanwen and the others, Zhao Junchen immediately understood what they were thinking.

After smiling lightly, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "You don't have to worry, this official will not expose all these criminal evidence, this official is only trying to deal with those smugglers at present, as for those court officials involved in the case, this official does not plan to touch them, and will not even spread the news that he has their criminal evidence, just if he does not know their criminal responsibility, he will leave it until the future to deal with them one by one......

After speaking, Zhao Junchen sighed slightly, and said with emotion: "Although, in this matter, we represent the righteousness of the court and the righteous side, but this official also knows that since ancient times, the winner is often not the righteous side, but the stronger side!" Therefore, this official will not act rashly until he has enough strength! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's remarks, all the staff members showed admiration, not only admiring Zhao Junchen's rationality and calmness, but also admiring Zhao Junchen for being able to tell such a truth.

As a result, all the staff, led by Li Chuanwen, bowed to Zhao Junchen one after another, and also took the opportunity to praise and compliment Zhao Junchen a few words.

After the worry in his heart dissipated, Li Chuanwen suddenly thought of a serious matter, and asked Zhao Junchen for instructions: "My lord, according to your idea, after the merchants of Huizhou and Zhejiang report the smuggling crime, they can get one-third of the ships under this smuggler, but now, most of the smugglers are reported by multiple people at the same time, but I don't know how to deal with this situation?" Those rewards were given to the merchants of Huizhejiang who were the first to provide information on the incriminating evidence? Or will all the merchants of Huizhejiang who provided information about the incriminating evidence share these rewards equally? ”

Zhao Junchen did not hesitate and said: "Naturally, all the merchants of Huizhejiang who provide criminal evidence and information will share the reward equally!" My proposals are just to mobilize the enthusiasm of those merchants in Huizhou and Zhejiang, so that they can actively report their former peers, but I also don't want any of them to get too many benefits and expand their strength too quickly, otherwise it will be easy to lose their tail. ”

Li Chuanwen nodded, still agreeing with Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and replied: "My subordinates understand!" ”

*

Then, all the staff members planned to continue to sort out the information according to Zhao Junchen's instructions.

However, Zhao Junchen suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, Mr. Li, you just said that you received a total of 82 smugglers tonight, but in the end, you could only arrest 81 of them, but why can't you arrest one smuggler?" ”

Li Chuanwen replied: "If you go back to your lordship, this smuggler's name is Li Zequan, and he is a well-known businessman in Suzhou, this person has always been cautious and cautious, and there are few flaws, among the many criminal evidence we have received, there are a total of eleven articles related to him, but all of them are just unconfirmed speculations, not ironclad evidence, so if we want to convict him, I am afraid there will be some trouble." ”

"Oh? Among the smugglers, there are still such cautious talents? None of the thirty-seven colleagues could provide tangible evidence of his guilt? …… Li Zequan, this name seems to be somewhat familiar. Zhao Junchen said slowly.

Li Chuanwen nodded and said: "My lord has heard of this person's name, maybe because of his son, this person's son is named Li Chunchen, who is quite famous in Jiangnan, and he is a second-class jinshi in the current science palace examination. ”

"Li Chunchen?" Zhao Junchen thought for a moment and said softly: "I see, it is indeed a tiger father without a dog......

In fact, Zhao Junchen has always attached great importance to Li Chunchen.

At the beginning, when Li Chunchen participated in the palace examination, the test questions he wrote can be said to have frightened Zhao Junchen, this person actually suggested that Emperor Deqing start the policy of "rumors and rumors", not only to lower the standard of court officials to be secretive and impeached courtiers, but also that officials from now on impeachment of ministers in the DPRK and the central government no longer need solid evidence, let alone be responsible for their own impeachment.

If Emperor Deqing really adopted Li Chunchen's suggestion, then the hundred officials in the court and the central government would immediately usher in the situation of "who in the court is not involved, and who in the court is not involved".

Therefore, Emperor Deqing was naturally moved by Li Chunchen's suggestion, just because such a suggestion would inevitably be resisted by hundreds of officials, so Emperor Deqing had not taken practical action.

Since the end of the palace examination, Li Chunchen has always been low-key, and Emperor Deqing seems to have forgotten about him, but Zhao Junchen knows that Emperor Deqing is just treating Li Chunchen coldly, but sooner or later it will be reused for him!

It's just that Zhao Junchen didn't expect that he would hear Li Chunchen's news again at this time.

Obviously, whether it is Li Chunchen or Li Chunchen's father Li Zeguang, they are not simple characters, and they need Zhao Junchen's secret attention.
