There are five people in Zhou Ji's shop now, Li Shi, his little apprentice, and Mrs. Ru.

Zhou Zheng, Wei Xizhuang.

Wei Xizhuang's embroidered spring knife was on Li Shi's neck, with a murderous intent on his face.

Li Shi, this old thing is so hateful, Wei Xizhuang is really angry, if he hadn't killed anyone, maybe he would have really slashed it down.

The little eunuch, the beautiful woman's expression was tense at this moment, her whole body trembled, and she didn't dare to say a word in fright.

Who is Wei Xizhuang, he is Wei Zhongxian's grandson, if he kills someone, what other great consequences can he have?

This time, Li Shi was also afraid, feeling the cold blade on his neck, and his mind was full of Zhou Zheng's words just now.

Li Shi forcibly calmed down, glanced at the sharp embroidered spring knife blade, looked at Wei Xizhuang, hesitated and turned to Zhou Zheng, his voice was not sharp and high-pitched before, but said in a low voice: "You have no evidence, you don't want to slander our family!" ”

Zhou Zheng took the oil-paper bag, took out an account book, pushed it over, and said, "Look at it, if there is anything wrong, I will find someone to correct it." ”

Li Shi looked at the word 'account book', his heart jumped, he stretched out his hand to open it, and his face suddenly became ugly, and the more he turned it, the more ugly it became.

Wei Xizhuang was also glancing, and when he saw Gao, Zhou and other surnames, he was even more determined, and with a sharp force, he said coldly: "Old thing, come with me to the edict, this time, I promise that you can't come out alive!" ”

Li Shi's stiff old face twitched, his eyes moved away from the account books, he felt the coldness on his neck, looked at Zhou Zheng, and said with a gloomy face: "Where did you get these things?" ”

These account books are detailed records of Li Shi's acceptance of bribes, among which those Donglin people who have been removed from the list of anti-party cases are on them, including the fiercest and most ruthless attack on the Ke family and Wei Zhongxian, and the ones that Wei Zhongxian has always wanted to kill!

Zhou Zheng's calm eyes suddenly turned cold, staring at Li Shi and said: "Don't talk about turning over a small Shangguan Xun's case, I'm going to kill you now, and no one will say anything!" ”

The difficulty of this case lies in Wei Zhongxian, and now that Li Shi has no protection from Wei Zhongxian, with his bad deeds, it is really too easy to get killed!

The apprentice and beautiful woman behind Li Shi trembled, and their expressions were extremely pale. Li Shi is their backer, if Li Shi dies, they will not be far from death.

Li Shi's eyes flashed with fear, he moved his neck slightly, looked at Wei Xizhuang, squeezed out an ugly smile on his stiff face, and said: "Wei Gongzi, we don't have any deep hatred, everything is easy to discuss, what conditions, you can mention ......"

Wei Xizhuang suffered a great humiliation in Li Shi today, and he really wanted to slaughter this shameless old thief, but he was also quite calm, knowing that killing this old thing would not solve the problem, so he turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng and looked inquiring.

Li Shi hurriedly turned around and said urgently: "Zhou Yushi, I know that Shangguan Xun's case is difficult for you to handle, I can make an iron case, execute Shangguan Xun as soon as possible, and let the Shangguan family no longer sue, so that you can explain to the emperor......"

Zhou Zheng glanced at him coldly, and said to the family in the courtyard: "Go upstairs and take down the pen and ink." ”

The family had been waiting outside the door, and was shocked by the clouds and rain of their second young master, listening to Zhou Zheng's words, he woke up suddenly, and hurriedly said, "It's the second young master." "Ran into the courtyard and hurried up to the second floor.

Li Shi didn't know what Zhou Zheng was going to do, he still licked his stiff smile, and said tremblingly: "Zhou Yushi, I can help your father reinstate his official position, and he can go further, I can also help you grow this business of yours, and it is easy to earn 100,000 taels a year......"

The family quickly took the four treasures of the study and came down, and they had to be quickly laid out in front of Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand to stop it and said, "Give it to Gonggong Li, he wants to write." ”

When Li Shi saw it, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said, "What do you want me to write?" ”

The family hurriedly got it done, and quickly and quietly retreated into the courtyard.

Zhou Zheng looked at Li Shi, smiled, and said: "Write the details of Zhou Qiyuan's case, remember, it is detailed, if what you write is different from what I understand, it will be imprisoned." ”

Li Shi's face changed suddenly, his eyes flashed with fear, then anger.

The so-called 'anti-party case' that occurred in February was caused by Zhou Qiyuan's habitual suppression of Li Shi, the admiral and eunuch, as a clear stream, and Li Shi's methods of co-opting, currying favor, and offering bribes did not work, so he was unwilling to endure it, and angrily wrote a letter to impeach Zhou Qiyuan for 'forming a party and plotting rebellion'.

Wei Zhongxian seized this opportunity to raise a big prison, and arrested more than a dozen Donglin people such as Zhou Qiyuan, who was the governor of Yingtian, and Zhou Jianzong, the imperial historian, into the Zhenfu Prison, and then impeached Gao Panlong and other Donglin bigwigs and forced them to resign.

The final result was that Zhou Qiyuan and others were killed, Gao Panlong and others committed suicide, Donglin's last strength was strangled and killed, Wei Zhongxian was ruthless, and the eunuch family was dominant, and there was no way to resist.

Therefore, the essence of this 'anti-party case' is a party dispute, which was triggered by Li Shi's frame.

Li Shi looked at the pen and ink in front of him, and his expression was gloomy and changeable.

If he writes about this matter, then he really can't turn over, with such a big handle in Zhou Zheng's hands, he can't survive and die!

Zhou Zheng's eyes were cold, and he said, "If you don't write, you will die now!" ”

Wei Xizhuang pressed the embroidered spring knife again, and said coldly: "It seems that I will take you to the edict to prison, you old thing will be honest!" ”

Li Shi's neck was oozing blood, his whole body trembled violently, he unconsciously stretched out his hand, held the pen, and said unwillingly: "Zhou Yushi, I have a lot of silver, as long as I ......"

Zhou Zheng sneered and said: "You are not qualified to negotiate with me, either write here, or go to the Zhenfu Prison, and then write after a big punishment, you choose!" ”

Li Shi was extremely humiliated in his heart, he didn't dare, and his face was full of anger and resentment.

But these are useless, Zhou Zheng took his handle, if he really wants to kill him, he doesn't have to bear the consequences at all, he has no scruples!

What's more, he knows that he can't resist any torture tools at all!

Li Shi looked at Wei Xizhuang, who had undiminished murderous intent on his face, picked up the pen, and began to write tremblingly.

He didn't write a few words and had to pause, his hands were trembling, he looked up at Zhou Zheng, saw his indifferent expression, his eyes were painful, and he continued to write.

Perhaps he wrote too much, and the more he wrote, the smoother he became, and he wrote nearly 1,000 words, writing out the causes and consequences of the so-called 'anti-party case', especially the framing part that he led and participated in.

Among them, it also includes the amount of silver money he coerced and intimidated merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and looted.

After a while, Li Shi put down his pen and said expressionlessly: "I'm done." ”

Zhou Zheng took the paper and looked at it word by word.

I have to say that Li Shi's writing is still good.

But the experience of this 'anti-party case' still shocked Zhou Zheng, not only the eunuch party's attack on Donglin, but also Donglin's internal strife, some of which are simply unimaginable.

Zhou Zheng frowned, suppressed the disgust in his heart and read this paragraph, and fell on Li Shi's accumulation of wealth.

Perhaps because of the account book in Zhou Zheng's hand, Li Shi explained very clearly, he confiscated many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, wealthy families, and even extorted more than 100 wealthy businessmen in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and obtained more than one million dollars in silver, gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, acres of land, manors, yards, shops, etc., and the amount is amazing!

Zhou Zheng pushed the paper to the right and showed it to Wei Xizhuang.

Wei Xizhuang just swept it in a hurry, and immediately laughed angrily, and said, "You old thing, I still underestimate you!" ”

Li Shi was expressionless, as if he had calmed down, looked at Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang, and said lightly: "I have already written, tell your conditions." ”

Zhou Zheng turned his head to look at Wei Xizhuang and said, "The silver belongs to you, the shops, the fields, and the yard belong to me, how about it?" ”

Wei Xizhuang was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and said: "This matter is settled by you, I don't take credit." So let's take 200,000 yuan, and after I save it, I will be stretched thin with silver, and the rest will be yours. ”

Zhou Zheng pondered for a while, then suddenly turned to the courtyard in the shop, and said, "Six times." ”

With such a big movement, Liu Liuzhen naturally didn't know about it, he had already come here, but he just hid in the yard and didn't dare to come in and disturb.

Liu Liuzhen was just a scholar of the Zhou family in the end, and he had seen a limited number of scenes, so he walked in cautiously and said in a low voice: "Second Young Master." ”

"You go and call the economy." Zhou Zhengdao.

Zhou Zheng is very aware of his current status and status, Li Shi has such a big family business, he can't eat it, and even if he swallows it forcibly, he can't keep it.

If you have teeth, you can continue to integrate, digest, and collect your own.

Liu Liuzhen agreed and hurriedly ran out.

Li Shi had already heard that Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang were going to swallow all his property, and his face couldn't help but be very ugly.

Behind him, Mrs. Ru, the little eunuch looked reluctant, but he was cold and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhou Zheng looked at Wei Xizhuang and said, "Set up a tooth shop, put Li Shi's property under the tooth shop, and half of us." ”

Wei Xizhuang was stunned, this is not ten or twenty taels, it is a million dollars!

Zhou Zhengyun, really give him half without blinking?
