Zhu Yuncai's words made Zhen Shu not react for a long time, but the mocking smile on the other party's face gradually made his heart sink gradually, as if he had fallen into an abyss that could not be seen to the end. As the footsteps gradually faded away, the left waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry sat down on the chair dejectedly.

"Fan Langzhong has never betrayed you!" This sentence flashed in Zhen Shu's mind repeatedly, and he speculated about various possibilities over and over again, but the final conclusion he came to made him regret it. Could it be that his own over-the-top move has accelerated his own destruction?

In other words, it was Zhen Shu's own stupidity that ended her more than 20-year officialdom career.

Zhen Shu's conjecture was quickly confirmed, and he was soon summoned to the cell as a witness to testify against Fan Dalong. Zhu Yuncai obviously lost his previous politeness to Zhen Shu when dealing with this person, as long as he was dissatisfied with a word, he would be whipped down at every turn.

Fan Dalong's fine skin and white flesh on his bare upper body soon had more blood marks. The sound of the whip and Fan Dalong's terrible screams echoed repeatedly in the gloomy cell, and the burning charcoal copper basin in one corner of the cell crackled, and several iron buckets that had turned red were inserted in them, which at a glance were torture instruments used for cannon branding.

Zhen Shu is a high-ranking official of the third grade, she has always been pampered, and she has never entered the edict of Jinyiwei, who has ever seen such a terrifying scene, her tight throat can't help but make a few swallowing movements, but there is no saliva in her mouth. He was thinking, was the real purpose of Zhu Yuncai letting himself come to this prison cell, to make an example of chickens and monkeys? But he recruited everything he could, and even many of Xiong Mingyu's secrets were recruited, and even with these confessions alone, it would not be difficult to bring down Xiong Mingyu.

Zhu Yuncai has no need to make an example of himself! But after thinking about it, isn't this guy going to declare a personal vendetta! Thinking that Zhu Yuncai had eaten countless idleness under his hands, Zhen Shu trembled uncontrollably, and now it is reasonable for this person to take revenge on himself.

He glanced at the reddish iron bars in the charcoal copper basin, and fine beads of sweat were already forming on his head. He wanted to say a few words, but he couldn't say a complete sentence when he opened his mouth. Or Zhu Yuncai said with a smile:

"Zhen Shilang came at the right time! This surnamed Fan has a hard mouth, and Zhu specially called you to supplement his confession. ”

It turned out that Fan Dalong was silent about everything related to Xiong Mingyu, maybe he still had a little fantasy in his heart that Xiong Shangshu could say a few good words for him and give him a helping hand. However, Fan Dalong didn't know that Zhu Yuncai had been entrusted by Li Xin, no matter what method he used, he must get all the key confessions about Xiong Mingyu's participation in the collusion between the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the Zhejiang City Bosi.

Zhao Pan, the director of the Dushui Qing Bureau, as the direct handler of the silk produced by the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, did know a lot of secrets, but it was mainly Fan Dalong who colluded with the Zhejiang City Bo Division, so it was important to obtain the key confession in this part.

In order to destroy Fan Dalong's last psychological defense, Fan Dalong called Zhen Shu over.

"Fan Dalong, don't have illusions anymore, no one can save you, concealing it will only be bad for you, not good. Look at Zhen Shilang, know more about current affairs! You don't need to spend more time on your own official to make a full move, why do you have to be hard to the end and suffer from this flesh and skin? ”

Fan Dalong raised his bruised eyelids, glanced at Zhen Shu, who was trembling standing on the wall, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of bloody thick phlegm.

"The stupidity surnamed Zhen, if it weren't for him, why would Fan be here at this moment!"

Fan Dalong knew after being interrogated. Zhao Pan's confession was reserved, but the confession obtained by Zhen Shu tortured herself became the key evidence that could completely rectify herself. While regretting, he hated Zhen Shu's stupidity, if it weren't for him, he might still be sleeping with his concubine in his arms at this time tonight.

Seeing this, Fan Dalong gave up the last trace of resistance and summoned all the 1510 he knew.

Zhu Yuncai looked at the confession recorded by the clerk's office with satisfaction, and then asked Fan Dalong to sign and pledge. However, Fan Dalong was tortured too much and could no longer move freely, so he had to personally bring the confession to Zhu Yuncai.

"If you knew now, why bother to resist fearlessly, and suffer all this flesh and skin in vain!"

In the end, Zhu Yuncai was still extremely sarcastic about Fan Dalong.

Fan Dalong is the official of the Dushui Qing Officials Division, and the Dushui Qing Officials Division is the most powerful and oily place in the entire Nanjing Ministry of Industry, although his official character is not high, but even if he is a fourth-or fifth-grade official who sees him, he is polite and polite, and he has a lot of courtesy, how can he ever be ridiculed and insulted like this?

But under the low eaves, he had to bow his head, he knew that there was no good fruit to eat when he had a hard encounter with a cool official like Zhu Yuncai, so he could only curse a few words secretly in his heart, and then pretended not to hear anything, and answered Zhu Yuncai with silence. Only Zhu Yuncai didn't want to let Fan Dalong go so lightly, and kicked him on the chest, making this Dushui Qing official Shilang fall on his back and face the sky with just one stroke, because of the scars of the mutation, he struggled weakly, like a somewhat funny turtle, writhing his limbs and driving away in vain, but he couldn't get up.

Seeing this, Zhen Shu felt a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and at the same time, deep remorse and unspeakable shame occupied all his feelings. He couldn't accept that it was he who single-handedly caused himself and Fan Dalong to be in such a miserable situation at the moment.

Of course, it is not excluded that Zhu Yuncai can find out all the facts of the case clearly just by relying on Zhao Pan's confession, but that is not known how long it will be. Moreover, as long as things don't come to the last step, everything is in flux, and now that they are behind bars, it is difficult to change it.

For Zhen Shu and Fan Dalong, this night was full of pain, torment and remorse. But for Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, it was also not easy, Zhen Shu and Fan Dalong were imprisoned by Ying Tianfu, so that he could no longer sit in peace.

Early in the morning, Jiading bought back the "Bulletin", and he habitually picked it up and read it. In the upper echelons of Nanjing Shilin, reading the "Communiqué" has become a trend, and Xiong Mingyu is no exception. However, he was soon shocked by the front-page headlines of the Gazette today.

What was published in the "Bulletin" was the transcription confession sent by Zhen Shu to the Jinzixiang newspaper yesterday, which revealed a large number of illegal and corrupt things in Xiong Mingyu. Although in the Ming officialdom, corruption is already a matter that officials in the world can do, but after all, this is a matter under the disgraceful table, and being made public in such a grand manner is tantamount to stripping people of all their clothes in the trouble.

What's more, the "Bulletin" is a newspaper read by almost everyone in Nanjing Shilin, and I am afraid that many people have already read this newspaper at this moment, even if he dredges up the relationship and finds a way to ban this issue of the "Bulletin", it will be difficult to reverse this unfavorable situation.

Xiong Mingyu's first reaction was roughly similar to Zhen Shu, but after all, he has been in the officialdom for more than 30 years, and although his heart is in turmoil, he still hasn't behaved at a loss. He sat back in his chair and thought over and over again, but each one was quickly rejected by him.

The most frightening thing is that these key information must have been mastered by Li Xin, and since he has detained Zhen Shu, Fan Dalong and Zhao Pan, he will definitely get a complete chain of evidence, so the threat to himself will be fatal.

Previously, Li Xin detained Zhao Pan, Xiong Mingyu was not worried, after all, he was only a handler and his knowledge was limited. But Zhen Shu and Fan Dalong, the two henchmen, were arrested together, so he couldn't continue to live in peace.

Just when Xiong Mingyu was already like an ant on a hot pot, he didn't know that his every move had fallen into the eyes of the Three Guards.

"What? Xiong Mingyu went to the Duke of Wei's mansion? ”

Zhu Yuncai was very troubled by this, this official in Nanjing City counted one person, and when it came to anyone, he would not frown his eyebrows. But when it comes to Wei Guogong, it's a different matter, Wei Guogong is the descendant of the founding father Xu Da, the family has been a prominent court lord for more than 200 years, and the foundation is extremely deep.

What to do, he pondered repeatedly in his heart.

"How long did Xiong Mingyu stay in Wei Guogong's house?"

"This person didn't even get in at the door of the Duke of Wei's house, and only negotiated with the door a few times, and the door repeatedly entered and exited the door twice, and then sent him away!"

It turns out that this is the case, so to speak, the Duke of Wei did not support Xiong Mingyu for this incident, which means that the matter can still be checked on Xiong Mingyu's head.

However, just when Zhu Yuncai was about to make persistent efforts, he received a warrant from the Marquis of Zhenyu, ordering him to go to the military camp south of the city as soon as possible. Zhu Yuncai did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the military camp outside the city. It just so happened that he also wanted to make a detailed report to Li Xin on this matter.

However, after arriving at the barracks, Zhu Yuncai was told that the Marquis of Zhenyu had just gone to the military port outside Shangyuan Gate. This made him very strange, didn't the Marquis of Zhenzhen just let himself come to the barracks? Why did the Marquis go to the military port outside Shangyuan Gate again?

Zhu Yuncai didn't delay much, and immediately turned around and returned to the city, went to the north of the city, and went out of the Shangyuan Gate to the military port that was busy building projects. He was surprised to find that truckloads of timber and pig iron were being unloaded outside the military port.

As we all know, due to the deliberate difficulties of the Ministry of Industry, the military port has been short of timber and pig iron for many days, and there is no way to do it in a hurry these days, after all, such a large number of materials, even if they are purchased by the people, I don't know what year and month they can be transported from the production area to Nanzhili Ying Tianfu.
