Zhou Zheng slowly looked at these incriminating evidence of Cui Chengxiu, and his expression was extremely emotional.

In the past, the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and now the Ministry of Works, almost except for the rebellion, all other evil things have been done, and nothing has been pulled down.

After a while, Zhou Zheng shook his head, cleaned it up, put it back into the box, and looked at the staircase, faintly flickering.

These things are enough to send Cui Chengxiu to prison, but why didn't Tian Ergeng do it, but instead borrowed Zhou Zheng's hand?

It's very simple, because there are too many things in it that involve Wei Zhongxian, and to some extent, knocking down Cui Chengxiu can also bring down Wei Zhongxian!

Therefore, Tian Ergeng needs to find a scapegoat, this scapegoat is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is fearless and has offended Zhou Zheng of the entire government and the opposition!

"How do you use it?" Zhou Zheng whispered softly. Naturally, he didn't want to help Tian Ergeng deal with Cui Chengxiu, but when these things were in his hands, there was no reason not to make good use of them.

How to use it is indeed a question that needs to be carefully considered.

Cui Chengxiu is not Li Hengbing, he is more powerful than Zhou Yingqiu, and if he really wants to fight back, Zhou Zheng can't bear it.

Zhou Zheng was thinking quickly in his heart, and at the same time he was thinking about some of his arrangements, to strive for the greatest benefit!

"Second Young Master, something happened." Suddenly, Liu Liuzhen shouted urgently downstairs.

Zhou Zheng was stunned, woke up from his contemplation, put the box away, and went downstairs.

Liu Liuzhen shouted at the staircase just now, and now he ran in from outside the shop, looking anxious, and said: "Second young master, it's the people from the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, it's that Liu Benxi, they want to seal Zhou Ji!" ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It's so fast." Hold your horses. ”

Zhou Zheng said, walked out of the shop, and saw Liu Benxi standing in front of the shop, and there were more than 40 officials behind him, surrounding Zhou Ji.

Liu Benxi watched Zhou Zheng come out, completely not as calm and calm as before, with a sneer on his face, his eyes were happy, and he looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhou Yushi, such a coincidence, you are also here, are you here to buy something?" ”

Zhou Zheng listened to Liu Benxi's teasing words, his expression did not move, and the thoughts flashed in his heart.

Liu Benxi smiled disdainfully, stepped forward, and said, "I'll give you time to see who can and who dares to save you!" ”

Zhou Zheng said lightly: "You just ate me like this?" ”

Liu Benxi's eyes were bloody, his face was full of hatred, and he roared: "I'm going to eat you!" I'm telling you, no one can save me today! ”

Zhou Zheng stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, pressed his left hand on his right hand, snapped, and pressed his left hand with his right hand, snapped, and said casually: "You say, what will happen if I beat you up now?" ”

Liu Benxi's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly retreated, his eyes were annoyed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Zheng, don't be rampant!" Today, I will never let you go! ”

Zhou Zheng looked indifferently and said, "I don't know how many people want to close this shop, which one has succeeded?" How are you better than Li Hengbing now? He's not my opponent, so why are you so confident? It's these people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate that you brought, if I don't agree, will they dare to seal it? ”

Liu Benxi turned his head to look, and these officials bowed their heads one after another, even if they raised their heads, their faces hesitated.

Zhou Zheng is also the superintendent of the Imperial History, where do they not know Zhou Zheng's ability, the edict has been in prison, and the prison department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has entered, which one can keep him?

Besides, that was the one who offended the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in the court and had no scruples, and even sent Li Hengbing, the chief official of Zhejiang Province, to the prison, how dare they offend?

Liu Benxi looked at the expressions of these people, gritted his teeth, and hated it in his heart, but then turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng and sneered: "Do you think you can escape in this way?" ”

As soon as his voice fell, another team of officials appeared, and went straight to Zhou Ji.

The leader was a middle-aged man, wearing an official uniform, with a majestic expression, came to Zhou Zheng's approach, and said in a deep voice: "This shop is poisonous, someone has sued the criminal department, and now, this official wants to seal the shop and take away the people in the shop, no one is allowed to move!" ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at Liu Benxi, saw him with a smug expression, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man held his head high, looked at Zhou Zheng with disdain, and said, "Lang Zhong of the official criminal department, Tao Ran." ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly felt a little stunned, he had seen this name on the letter that sold the official mantle just now.

Zhou Zheng looked at this Tao Ran with deep eyes, and his heart flew like electricity.

If you are really sleepy, you will send a pillow!

Tao Ran didn't talk nonsense, and waved his hand directly.

The official behind him did not hesitate, and directly rushed into Zhou Ji to arrest people.

Liu Liuzhen and a group of men looked shocked, including Kou Huaiyi, Zhang Heyi and others, who were sorting out books in the backyard, and they all came out, looking at these officials with a somewhat flustered face, and all of them looked at Zhou Zheng.

If the Criminal Department really wants to arrest people, they all have to be arrested, right?

"Wait!" Zhou Zheng shouted in a deep voice.

Tao Ran looked at Zhou Zheng, took a step closer, and whispered with a cold look in his eyes: "Tell you, I'm here for you today!" Others are afraid that you are the supervisor of the imperial history, I don't care, if you dare to fart one more fart, I will arrest you and return you to prison, I guarantee that you will not survive tonight! ”

Zhou Zheng looked at this face that did not hide his killing intent, and said, "You are in such a hurry to attack me, isn't it temporary?" ”

Tao Ran's eyes were indifferent, and he said: "You are very smart, but I won't tell you, if you are honest and obedient and say what I want to hear, I will let you live for a few more days, if you are not obedient, you will die of a violent illness tonight!" ”

Zhou Zheng understood that someone was going to attack someone through him, in fact, it was not difficult to guess, most likely Cui Chengxiu wanted to use him to clean up the eunuch traitors, and the left and right sides of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were imperial historians Cao Sicheng and Cao Yubian.

Zhou Zheng was looking at the fire in his heart, and his flying mind was suddenly certain, and he said: "I know that you used 5,000 taels to buy an official from Cui Chengli, no need to quibble, your silver is intercepted from Caoyun tax silver, and it is easy for me to find out." How did you give the silver to Cui Chengli, and I also know the middleman. In this way, I will give you one night, you can collude confessions, or you can kill people, and tomorrow my impeachment recital will be up, and you can write again to defend yourself, so that the court can not find evidence and continue to be promoted and make a fortune......"

Before Zhou Zheng finished speaking, Tao Ran's face changed, his eyes stared at Zhou Zheng wide-eyed, and the coldness on his face turned into surprise and panic.

How did Zhou Zheng know this? actually knew that he intercepted the Caoyun tax silver, and also knew that he sent the silver to Cui Chengli, and also knew that there was a middleman, how much did Zhou Zheng know?

Tao Ran turned over the river and the sea in horror, his eyes were full of fear, and his face was constantly changing.

Zhou is supervising the imperial history, and if he goes up with a notebook, he is not only losing his office, he is going to lose his head!

Liu Benxi kept watching Zhou Zheng and Tao Ran whispering, and forcibly did not disturb, seeing that Tao Ran was not moving, he stepped forward and said: "Master Tao, don't talk nonsense, arrest him to the criminal department, just a thin scholar like him, don't use torture, scare him, he will say whatever he wants!" ”
