Dong Chengwu and Xu De are writing a recital for Zhu Yijun, and the people on Zhao Lian's side are almost caught. It's not that Zhao Lian really needs to arrest so many people, but that he needs to compile a piece of information.

This is a major case of conspiracy against the Japanese, and such a case must be done beautifully, and it is not possible to fail to grasp the actual situation.

The huge interrogation began, Zhao Lian started the interrogation from the periphery, and he sorted out two lines, one was Fushou ointment, and the other was Tongwei. You can't forget the Fushou paste because of Tongwei, it is a big case to assassinate the emperor.

If you forget this case, it will be useless to handle the case beautifully.

has been an official for so many years, and has done such a good job, Zhao Lian knows one thing, that is, if you can't do things, you will be tired to death. Being able to do things is one thing, but more importantly, figuring out the mind of the boss.

The emperor must be more concerned about the assassination case, and the case is not an uncommon case, and it has been less than it in recent years?

The emperor took a look at it and put it down, it's just a case, what's the big deal. But the assassination case is different, this involves the assassination of the emperor, can the emperor not care? Can you not pay attention?

Don't be fooled by appearances, you must stare directly at the essence.

Focusing on the Fushou Paste Case, supplemented by the Tongwei case, the Fushou Paste case was handled beautifully, and the Tongwai case was the icing on the cake, and he naturally entered the eyes of the emperor, and it was not just around the corner when the time came.

So Zhao Lian divided the businessmen involved with the Zhen family into two categories, one was to sell Fushou paste for the Zhen family, and the other was to communicate for the Zhen family. Of course, many of them are accounted for in both categories, but Zhao Lian is very clear.

The first thing he wanted to investigate was the Fushou Paste case, and the people were almost arrested, and the rest was to start the trial.

Behind the second hall of the governor's yamen, Xu De was drinking tea with a teacup, and beside him, Dong Chengwu looked at the second hall with some absent-mindedness. Seeing that Xu De looked like an old god was there, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Father-in-law Xu, is this too much?" Dong Chengwu still couldn't hold back and said.

Listening to the screams from the second hall of the governor's yamen, Xu De's face did not change at all, and he said lightly: "Some people are just itchy skin, if you don't beat him, you won't tell the truth, as if he can hide it if he doesn't say it." ”

"Lord Zhao is trying the case, if Governor Dong thinks it's inappropriate, you can go over and listen!"

Dong Chengwu smiled bitterly again, this Zhao Lian is indeed not arresting, but has started the trial, and borrowed the second court of the governor's yamen from himself. Since that time, the screams of the second hall of the governor's yamen have not stopped.

Several Lang Zhong waited in line there to treat their injuries and prevent people from dying.

Dong Chengwu has been screaming just for the past two days, it is like a magic sound, he can't sleep well at night, and his mind is full of screams. Xu De turned a blind eye to this, and Zhao Lian didn't seem to feel anything, repeating the process of interrogation and interrogation like an iron man.

It was better at first, asking one by one, but when the testimony of the two people couldn't meet, Zhao Lian's anger pattern began.

Dong Chengwu really didn't know how to persuade Zhao Lian, firstly, he had no jurisdiction, this was a case approved by the Holy Lord, and secondly, these people did not tell the truth. The testimony of the two people is different, so naturally someone is lying.

After five days of surprise interrogation, Zhao Lian finally sorted out all the clues and evidence in the Fushou paste case and threaded it into a line.

Dong Chengwu and Xu De looked at Zhao Lian who walked in, although his eyes were full of bloodshots, but Zhao Lian's spirit was still good, especially the gaze in his eyes, which was blazing, so that people did not dare to look at him, maybe it was because there were too many tortures these days, and Zhao Lian's body was full of evil spirits.

"Lord Zhao, this is done?" Xu De looked at Zhao Lian and asked with a smile.

Zhao Lian nodded: "This official has sorted out all the clues and evidence in the Fushou paste case, the cause of the incident is the Zhen family, the Zhen family was not the largest maritime merchant in Fujian at the beginning, but the Zhen family got the Fushou paste during the Jiajing period. ”

"The Zhen family dedicated Fushou Paste into the palace, which greatly increased the value of Fushou Cream."

"At the same time, the Zhen family also bribed officials through Fushou Cream, expanded their own channels, suppressed and co-opted other businessmen everywhere, helped the Zhen family sell Fushou Paste together, and also embezzled the properties of other businessmen."

"After so many years of development, the Zhen family has become what it is now."

Listening to Zhao Lian's words, Xu De said with mockery in his tone: "It's really unswerving, doing harmful things from generation to generation." ”

Zhao Lian didn't answer Xu De's words, but continued: "This official interrogated the other members of the Zhen family and got a confession from them, the Zhen family's Fushou paste came from overseas merchant ships. ”

"Basically, the cargo is carried out at night, and then the merchant ship docks and unloads."

"The people who received the goods were Zhen Zhijing's henchmen, but they were not familiar with the people on the ship, they were just tokens, and then the two sides delivered the goods." Speaking of this, Zhao Lian paused for a moment before continuing: "The next exchange will be in three days. ”

Saying that, Zhao Lian took out a semicircular jade jue: "This is the token that the Zhen family received the goods." ”

Xu De and Dong Chengwu are not stupid, of course they know what Zhao Lian means, this is to pretend to be the Zhen family to pick up the goods, and then even catch all the people on the boat. No matter who the other party is, they won't be able to run this time.

"Fuzhou has made such a big move, I'm afraid they have already received the news."

Xu De said lightly: "But it's still worth gambling once, if you come, you will arrest people, and if you don't come, you will be a soldier." Saying that, he turned his head to look at Dong Chengwu, and he, the governor of Fujian, had to take action in this matter.

Although Zhao Lian and Xu De are Qincha, they still can't do it.

Seeing that the two of them looked at him at the same time, Dong Chengwu said with a smile: "This official is naturally duty-bound, and this official will arrange it!" ”

When Dong Chengwu left, Xu De looked at Dong Chengwu and said, "Lord Zhao, has Zhen Zhijing interrogated?" ”

"Not yet!" Zhao Lian shook his head and said, "This official wants to wait until the Tongwei case and the assassination case are all brought together, and Zhen Zhijing is being interrogated. ”

Xu De shook his head: "Interrogate him now, ask him about picking up the ship, this matter is not trivial, we can't take risks." Once there is a mistake and the boat is gone, we have made a big mistake. ”

Zhao Lian instantly understood: "What the father-in-law said is very true, the official will go to interrogate Zhen Zhijing, does Father-in-law Xu want to be together?" ”

Nodding, Xu De stood up: "Let's go together!" ”

Seeing Xu De's style, Zhao Lian couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Old guy, you came here at this time, why didn't you come before?" ”

But these words can only be scolded in the heart, and they can never be said.

For Zhen Zhijing, the past few days have been difficult, after so many years of living in fine clothes and food, how can Zhen Zhijing endure such a day. It's just a few days, and people are a little out of shape.

When Zhao Lian and Xu De saw him, Zhen Zhijing seemed to be stupid, and asked him to do what he did.

"Zhen Zhijing!" Zhao Lian slapped the shocked wood and said loudly.

Zhen Zhijing raised his head, glanced at Zhao Lian, and then at Xu De, then lowered his head, and had no intention of speaking. Grief is greater than heart death, this time Zhen Zhijing knows that he is finished, and the Zhen family is also finished.

Zhao Liangang wanted to call someone to torture, but Xu De waved his hand and interrupted him, it was not a good thing to torture Zhen Zhijing.

Once it is injured and scrapped, it will become very troublesome. Glancing at Zhen Zhijing, Xu De said lightly: "Zhen Zhijing, aren't you curious, it's just a case of Tongwei, why did our family appear here?" ”

"Our family is the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, do you know what this means?"

Raising his head and looking at Xu De, he really didn't see Xu De just now, and his mind suddenly turned around at this look. The eunuch Bingbi is here, it is definitely not for the sake of the case, even if the case is a big case, there is no need for the eunuch to come over in person.

The eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, those are all close servants of the Son of Heaven, and they are the emperor's absolute new eunuchs.

"Why?" Zhen Zhijing said in a hoarse voice.

Seeing that Zhen Zhijing spoke, Xu De said with a light smile: "Because the Zhen family plotted against the case." Saying that, Xu De stared at Zhen Zhijing, and when he saw him, he instantly became excited, and suddenly jumped up from the ground, but was directly pressed down by the person behind him.

"I didn't, I didn't, the Zhen family didn't rebel!" Zhen Zhijing said loudly.

Xu De glanced at Zhen Zhijing and said with a smile: "The Zhen family asked people to offer Fushou paste to the emperor, this Fushou paste is a poisonous thing, and the intention is to poison the emperor, is this not a rebellion?" The three clans are all light. ”

Hearing Xu De's words, Zhen Zhijing was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, the Zhen family has not rebelled, there is no rebellion!" ”

Zhen Zhijing kowtowed while pleading and said: "Fushou paste is addictive, but it won't be fatal, and it's not poisonous!" Fushou paste can make people feel no pain, and it can make people ascend to immortals! ”

"We offer the blessing of longevity to Your Majesty, in order to please Your Majesty, my father-in-law is clear!"

"Although my Zhen family is a widow, but it is just a business, how dare I murder the emperor." While speaking, Zhen Zhijing knelt down and climbed forward a few steps: "Please father-in-law!" ”

Although it is a big crime, if someone is protecting, it may not be a turnaround, and Zhen Zhijing has something that can be protected. Maybe he won't survive, and the Zhen family will be finished, but he will never be killed, the Zhen family will not be killed, as long as someone is there, there will be a chance to turn the tables.

But now it's different, once the Zhen family is convicted of rebellion, then no one dares to speak for themselves.

Xu De stood up straight and said lightly: "Whether this is the case or not, it depends on the truth." After speaking, Xu De walked back to his seat, and then said: "Your cooperation, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to find out." ”

Zhen Zhijing hurriedly said: "The villain is willing to cooperate, willing to cooperate!" ”

Glancing at Xu De, Zhao Lian sighed in his heart, he was still not good at interrogation, and he still had to learn. After clearing his throat, Zhao Lian opened his mouth and said, "Then let's talk about the origin of Fushou ointment!" ”

Zhen Zhijing didn't dare to hide it at this time, and poured beans into the bamboo tube to tell the origin of Fushou ointment.

"The coastal clans do more maritime trade, but everyone does the same thing, basically selling the products of the Ming Dynasty. Silk porcelain and the like, those Yi people gave us silver. ”

"There are a lot of Yi people who do maritime trade with us, including the Francois people, the Japanese people, and the people who run the boat outside."

"This Fushou ointment is from the Hongyi people." Zhen Zhijing opened his mouth and said: "Originally, we didn't have anything to do with the Hongyi people, and most of the business was done with the people of Franco. Later, the Hongyi people came, and they seemed to have fought with the Franji people a few times. ”

"The villain doesn't know the specific situation, but he just knows that the Hongyi people also came to do business later, and the Franz machine people should have lost."

Xu De and Zhao Lian glanced at each other, of course they lost the battle, otherwise how could Franco give up here.

Zhen Zhijing continued: "We don't care if they are from Franc Ji or Hongyi, as long as they have silver. At the beginning, there was no problem, we shipped, and they paid the silver. ”

"But once the Hongyi people took out the Fushou paste and wanted to exchange goods with us."

"At that time, we didn't know what it was, but they said that it was black incense from Java, and when Java paid tribute, it was like the emperor who offered black incense. We thought it was a good thing, so we took a little and sold it. ”

Zhen Zhijing cried and said: "We didn't know that this thing could be addictive at first, but everyone liked him and the sales were very good." ”

Gradually, the business grew, and the reputation of Fushou Paste also spread, and some people dedicated Fushou Paste to Emperor Sejong. Emperor Sejong also liked it, and then the fame of Fuju paste became even greater, and the sales were even better. ”

Zhen Zhijing said here and sighed: "But inadvertently, we discovered that Fushou paste can make people addicted, and the consequences of not taking it are very terrible." But it was too late, and Emperor Sejong was already using it. ”

"If this spreads, our Zhen family will not be beheaded by the whole house!"

In fact, Xu De knew that at that time, not only the town guards everywhere were too fake, but also the ministers and generals all tried their best to collect all kinds of medicinal materials and put them into the palace. It is not surprising that Fushou paste can enter the palace.

"After the first emperor ascended the throne, he drove out all the monks in the palace, and the Fushou paste was no longer needed, why did you still want to sacrifice it to the palace this time?" Xu De looked at Zhen Zhijing and said loudly.

Zhen Zhijing hesitated for a long time before saying, "Father-in-law, I was also forced to be helpless!" ”

"It's not the idea of the little people, it's the idea of the wokos." Speaking of this, Zhen Zhijing said loudly: "They forced me, and they asked me to dedicate the blessing of longevity to the emperor." ”

"But although this Fushou paste is addictive, it is not fatal!" Zhen Zhijing said loudly: "The villain never dares to assassinate the emperor, my father-in-law is clear!" ”

Zhao Lian and Xu De both became serious, the ambition of the wolf son, and the Zhen family's help, it is estimated that the end will not be good. After glancing at each other, Zhao Lian continued to ask, "Will there be a ship to send you Fushou Paste in three days?" ”

Yes, yes, Zhen Zhijing hurriedly said: "A batch of Fushou ointment will come over in three days." ”
