"Hehe, Wei Meng, that is, if this Boss Di is not my friend. For other merchants, can you do whatever you want? The fourth prince said sharply.

"The lower officials don't dare!" Wei Meng knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said.

"Fourth prince, what the hell is going on!" Gao Xupeng asked.

"It seems that Master Gao was also deceived by this Wei Meng." Di Xi said with a smile.

"By the way, Commander Gao, how did you get here today?" The fourth prince asked.

"I'm sorry, Fourth Prince!" Gao Xupeng hurriedly explained, "I just heard Wei Meng's report that there are spies from Jinshan Kingdom who spy on our Sangzi City in the name of opening a business, so I brought troops over to arrest them." It's just that I didn't expect this Boss Di to be a friend of the fourth prince. ”

"Commander Gao, please rest assured! If Boss Di is really a spy of Jinshan Kingdom, even if it is my friend, I will never tolerate it. The fourth prince said, "But as far as I know, this Boss Di is a well-behaved businessman, but he is not familiar with life when he first arrives in Sangzi City." ”

"Fourth prince, don't be fooled! This Di Xi is indeed a spy, there is no doubt about it! Wei Meng knew that now he could only get rid of Di Xi by biting Di Xi to death as a spy of Jinshan Kingdom. You must know that he mobilized the forbidden army without permission, which is also a big crime.

"Do you have any proof?" Di Xi seemed very calm.

"Of course I have proof, I have witness!" Wei Meng hurriedly said.

"Then please bring your ID card!" The fourth prince said.

"Yes!" Wei Meng stood up and clapped his hands. Several of his men immediately brought one of them up.

When Di Xi saw it, it turned out to be an acquaintance!

This person is none other than the former tax collection team captain who was ousted in "Haihong Village", Zong Kui.

"Is that the witness you're talking about?" The fourth prince asked.

"That's right, it's him!" At this moment, Wei Meng gradually regained his calm.

"Who are you?" The fourth prince asked.

"In Xia Zongkui, it turned out to be the captain of the tax collection team under Chief Tang." Zong Kui said as he looked at Tang Ming, "Because Di Xi and Tang Ming colluded together, the intelligence of the vain attempt to spy on Sang Zicheng was discovered by me. Therefore I was dismissed from office. ”

"Are you telling the truth?" The fourth prince turned to Tang Ming and asked, "Is this sect leader your former subordinate?" ”

"Yes, he is indeed the tax collector." Tang Ming nodded, "But because of the oppression of good people and the discrediting of the image of our Sangzi State Tax Office, I was dismissed." ”

"Chief Tang, are you still unwilling to tell the truth after this fact?" Zong Kui said loudly, "What you have done, you know it in your heart. ”

Zong Kui's words were conclusive, which really aroused the suspicion of the four princes. Even Di Xi had to admire this Zong Kui's acting skills.

"If this continues, will I still be able to hold this opening ceremony? I'd better hurry up and end this farce! Di Xi said, turned around and said, "Fourth prince, since these people are pointing down, can you let me confront them face to face." ”

"That's a good idea, both parties are there, and it's up to both of you to make it clear." The fourth prince nodded.

"Thank you, Fourth Prince!"

Di Xi said as he pushed his wheelchair to Zong Kui and asked, "You said that I colluded with Chief Tang, is there any evidence?" ”

"Naturally, there are, and the dozen or so boxes of gold ingots in the treasury of the tax office are evidence." Zong Kui was able to correct Di Xi, so he naturally came prepared.

Listening to Zong Kui's words, Tang Ming was also taken aback. "This bastard Zong Kui, how did he confess this." Tang Ming suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Di Xi turned his head and glanced at Tang Ming, indicating that he didn't need to care.

Although Tang Ming will

The belief was doubtful, but at this time he could only choose to believe Di Xi.

"I never gave Chief Tang any gold ingots!" Di Xi said seriously.

"What are the boxes in the storeroom?" Zong Kui said loudly, "Please send someone to fetch those boxes, and you will know at a glance." ”

"Boss Di, look?" The fourth prince asked Di Xidao.

"The body is not afraid of crooked shadows. Lord Wang, in order to prove the innocence of the subordinates, Commander Lao Gao sent someone to carry those boxes! Di Xi said.

"Okay, the stakes are high, and my subordinates are willing to do this." Gao Xupeng said, and ordered his generals to send people to the tax office.

Looking at Zong Kui's confident testimony, Wei Meng also said in his heart: "Hmph, as long as you can do what Di Xi bribed Tang Ming do, the rest will be easy to do." At that time, these two guys will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Almost a cup of tea, Gao Xupeng's forbidden army carried more than a dozen boxes to the scene.

When everyone saw it, it was indeed a heavy box.

"Lord Wang, those gold ingots are in this box." Zong Kui said loudly, "As long as you open the box, you can find incriminating evidence." ”

"Hehe, then open it." Di Xi looked indifferent.

"When death is coming, you still have a hard mouth!" Zong Kui looked extremely emotional.

But when the soldiers opened the chests, there were no gold ingots inside. The dozen or so chests contained only metal chips like grains of sand, shining with a strange luster.

"Why don't you have gold ingots?" Zong Kui couldn't believe his eyes. He hurriedly walked over and grabbed the golden sand in the box with his hands.

"Wei Meng, where are the gold ingots you are talking about?" The face of the fourth prince became ugly.

"Lord, even if there is no gold ingot. I don't think that golden sand is ordinary, and it must be expensive. Wei Meng quibbled.

"Hehe, you guys are ignorant." The fourth prince turned to his entourage and ordered, "You go and get some golden sands." ”

"Yes!" The attendant was very nimble with his hands and feet, and soon scooped a little golden sand with a plate and brought it to everyone.

The fourth prince played with this golden sand, and asked Di Xi with a smile: "Boss Di, it seems that these should be the raw materials for you to make handicrafts." ”

"The prince sees it clearly, that's right! These are just raw materials for my crafts, and they have almost no value until they are formed. Di Xi explained with a smile.

"Lord Wang, you don't want to listen to this guy's nonsense!" Wei Meng said, "How can it be worthless if it is so brilliant? ”

"Shut up!" The fourth prince said angrily, "It's okay if others don't know, but I just checked Boss Di's handicrafts a few days ago. It's true that this magical gravel is nice, but it's really not as valuable as gold. ”

"Since it's ordinary sand, why did Tang Ming put it in the warehouse so carefully?" Wei Meng asked.

"Master Wei, I found out that you were mistaken." Tang Ming also came back to his senses at this moment and said, "At that time, Boss Di just used these handicraft raw materials as collateral to issue a business license. All of this is also in accordance with the formalities. ”

"Impossible, I saw that it was all gold ingots, how could it turn into sand?" Zong Kui shouted unwillingly.

"Zong Kui, these are your words. You must know that at that time, the personnel of Haihong Village and the tax collection team could testify for me. Di Xi said, "Lord Wang, if you don't believe it, you can ask Village Chief Qian for verification." ”

"That's right, we in Haihong Village can prove that what Boss Di put into the box is indeed gravel." Qian Yao said confidently.

"I can prove it too!" At this time, Zhou Jue, the current captain of the tax collection team, also stood

came out.

"Old Zhou, you!" When Zong Kui saw Zhou Jue say the same, he was immediately furious, "I usually treat you well, why do you want to commit perjury?" ”

"Zong Kui, what I said is the truth!" Zhou Jue said loudly, "Report to the fourth prince, this person is not credible. ”

"Oh, really?"

"This leader took advantage of his position and often oppressed the people. At that time, he was in Haihong Village, falsely reporting the amount of taxes, and almost forced the martyr's widow to death. Zhou Jue said, "After that, the conspiracy was exposed by Boss Di and Chief Tang, so they held a grudge and took the opportunity to slander them." It's a shame to say that I dared to be angry under him before, and I used to be in the same league with him. ”

"Let's get this out for now!" The fourth prince waved his hand and said, "From this point of view, this sect leader is indeed the most evil!" Zong Kui, what else do you have to say now? ”

"Lord Wang, you are wronged!" At this time, Zong Kui finally realized his mistake, but it was too late.

"The bold sect leader not only did dirty things in his position, but also beat him up after being exposed, and framed the court officials and good people. What a sin is not punishable! Gao Xupeng said angrily, "Come on, take down this thief for me." ”

After Gao Xupeng finished speaking, several soldiers came out of the queue and tied up Zong Kui, who had collapsed to the ground.

"Wei Meng, what else do you have to say now?" Di Xi looked at Wei Meng and said.

"Lord Wang!" Wei Meng knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, "Lord Wang, the lower officials were also deceived by that sect leader. Only then did I misunderstand Director Tang and Boss Di. I'm also worried that Jinshan Country will really infiltrate, and I'm also thinking about the safety of Sang Zi Kingdom! ”

"What Master Wei means is that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. Isn't that so? Di Xi said slowly.

"Yes, yes, yes! What Boss Di said is extremely true! Wei Meng just wanted to speak, but suddenly found that it was Di Xi's words, and his face suddenly turned solemn.

"Wei Meng, you really have a face!" The fourth prince said angrily, "In the name of investigating spies, you are blackmailing in your own area. Do you think you'll be able to hide it? ”

"Lord Wang, I was wronged!"

"Wronged?" The fourth prince took out an account book from his arms and fell directly on Wei Meng's face.

Wei Meng didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly looked through the account book. "Isn't this my book?" Wei Meng was startled, and his heart suddenly felt like ashes.

He fell to his knees and said in a loud voice, "The minister is guilty! ”

"Wei Meng, as the district head, took advantage of his position to bully the market and extort money. His actions are truly outrageous. The fourth prince said, "If it weren't for someone like Boss Di who is not afraid of power, God knows how long you will be arrogant." Come on! ”

"Humble duty!" Gao Xupeng immediately stood up in understanding.

"Commander Gao, it seems that you didn't find the spy this time, but the country's moth caught one!" The fourth prince smiled and said, "Give me to take down Wei Meng's party and hand it over to the trial court." ”

"Yes!" Gao Xupeng led people to arrest Wei Meng and his thugs at once.

Seeing this guard fall off his horse, the crowd immediately erupted in cheers.

"It seems that this Wei Meng is really unpopular!" Yu Zhibo whispered to Di Xi.

"But thank him so much." Di Xi said, "If he hadn't made such a fuss, my 'Haihong' wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold here so quickly." ”

"Okay, Boss Di, shouldn't this opening ceremony start!" The fourth prince said with a smile.

"That's right!" Di Xi turned around and nodded at Qian Yao.

"Alright, guys, let's hurry up and start the celebration!" Seeing this, Qian Yao immediately shouted.

"Good!" With three gun salutes, the opening ceremony continued.
