Fang Rusong looked at Zhou Yuan, an official under his former hands, and a touch of coldness appeared on his face, he was an otaku who pursued perfection slightly, and he was very annoyed that this kind of official appeared under him.

It is true that Zhou Yuan suppressed the bandits for him, but these are two different things and cannot be confused.

As for Zhang Zhidong, a businessman who had never dealt with him at all, Fang Rusong's face looked very calm.

"What is the sin, you might as well talk about it. Fang Rusong listened attentively.

The other booksellers and the county guards of Mayang County also listened attentively, wondering what important information Zhang Zhidong and Zhou Yuan could spit out from their mouths.

Zhou Yuan didn't plan to recruit it, after all, the little ancestor in the family was his lifeline, if he recruited himself, the little ancestor in the family would definitely have a bad fate.

But after seeing that Yang Zuokang and other booksellers were arrested and taken out of prison, he was relieved.

It seems that even if he flatly denies that he did not confess, these ruthless guys will not believe it. Rather than this, it is better to bite the accusations they have committed over the years.

"The booksellers in Wuling City, mainly Yang Ji booksellers, colluded with the guards of the Clerk's Pavilion to steal the poems and articles of the Clerk's Pavilion for decades......"

"As a magistrate, the sinners are consumed by profits, and conniving at the people involved in the guards to accept gold and silver from booksellers, and they will die!"

Poof!

Zhou Yuan's forehead was on the ground and he directly confessed to the crimes of these booksellers.

The bosses of the major booksellers were frightened and pale, Zhou Yuan was really resolute and decisive in reporting, and sure enough, the people in the yamen were all white-eyed wolves who were not familiar with it.

"The criminal is the boss of the Zhang Ji bookseller, who participated in the theft of the secret treasures of the Book Pavilion, formed an alliance with other seven major booksellers, and stolen more than 10,000 books in total, and had more than one million taels of gold and silver exchanges with the guards of the Book Pavilion......

Zhang Zhidong also kowtowed and took the initiative to confess.

At this moment, the bodies of those booksellers trembled more and more, if their eyes could kill, it was estimated that Zhou Yuan and Zhang Zhidong had died thousands of times.

Anti-bones, two shameless anti-bones.

"Wronged ......"

A bookseller subconsciously cried out in pain, but soon ...... His face turned red, because a stack of ledger evidence had been presented to Fang Rusong's desk.

Those are all solid evidence, including the name of the books that were stolen in a certain year and month, and how much money was bribed to the clerical pavilion guards.

All the booksellers were silent, trembling and waiting for their fate, in fact, from the time they were arrested, they knew that nothing good would happen, and after so many years of enjoying the scenery, this life was actually worth it.

But no one will be afraid of longevity, with the idea of confessing leniency and resisting strictness, some booksellers began to take the initiative to confess.

The case went very smoothly, and almost after Lin Yu found a breakthrough from Zhang's mansion, he understood that the alliance between the major booksellers would be like the water that burst the embankment, and it would be out of control.

When Fang Rusong saw these account books, as well as the list of stolen books in the Heavenly Son Book Pavilion, his whole face was gloomy and dripping.

These booksellers are simply too presumptuous, they even dare to steal the books in the Son of Heaven Library, and as the guard of the Son of Heaven Library, they are even more corrupt to the extreme, and they have done things like guarding and stealing themselves.

Thoroughly, absolutely thoroughly!

"Come on, put all the cadres of the Clerk's Pavilion Guard Office and others into the prison, interrogate them one by one, and the embezzlers will be immediately pardoned!"

Fang Rusong immediately ordered, these people committed a heinous crime, and no one could save them, and the Black Armor Army also acted quickly after receiving the order......

After hearing Fang Rusong's resolute words, the major booksellers trembled like chaff, and kowtowed one after another: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives......

At this moment, a heavy cold snort suddenly sounded outside the main hall of the Thousand Households: "Spare your life, from the moment you committed this incident, you must have the consciousness of death!"

Accompanying this voice were two old men in white Confucian shirts, striding in.

Whew!

Suddenly, the eyes of everyone in the main hall looked at the two old men in Confucian shirts, confirming that they were very raw.

Only Lin Yu felt extremely familiar with one of the old men who still had a faint smell of wine on his body, and it seemed that he was the old man named Tangshan Bo who he met in the restaurant when he first went to the Library.

Better wine.

Who is he?

"Who's in the hall?"

Fang Rusong frowned, is this Qianhu also a place for outsiders to trespass on casually?

"Uncle Tangshan, the Great Elder of the Clerk's Pavilion!"

"Second Elder Liu Chuanfeng!"

The two old men reported their identities, and in an instant, Fang Rusong's heart was shocked, and he quickly stood up, bowed and saluted: "Xiaguan has seen two adults!"

The elders of the Wenshu Pavilion have always been the things that the members of the Jingshi Imperial Court did after they retired, and before these people returned to their hometowns, they were all great Confucians in the dynasty and had extremely high official positions.

Zheng Hong, the county guard of Mayang County, was stunned.

Elder of the Clerk's Pavilion? They actually want to meddle in worldly affairs, and in this way, these booksellers will be doomed.

As long as they go to the Jingshi, even if the governor commits a crime, Hongwen Tianzi will investigate it thoroughly.

Now, even if he is a county guard, it is useless, and even ...... Even he could be in trouble.

Zheng Hong was silent.

"How's the case going?"

After Tang Shanbo and Liu Chuanfeng sat down, they were concerned about the progress of the case, this matter was related to the Clerk's Pavilion, and if such a thing happened, they naturally couldn't escape the blame.

"It's all recruited, the evidence is conclusive, according to the laws of Great Xia, choose a day to ask for beheading!" Fang Rusong said solemnly.

Airplanes!

The booksellers only felt their heads buzzing, and their strength seemed to be drained, as if they were begging for mercy, but they found that their throats seemed to be stuck in something, and finally they sighed heavily.

If you knew today, why bother in the first place?

Tang Shanbo and Liu Chuanfeng didn't say anything, they just nodded, and they recognized the verdict.

They have been officials in the court for many years, and in their lifetime, there are many people who have been buried because of their words, how can they have sympathy for these merchants who pirated books from the Chamber of Books.

Later, Lord Xu Chang of the Clerk's Pavilion also came to confess, and in front of the two elders, he took the initiative to hand over the bribes he had received over the years, as well as the account books.

Originally, Xuchang was also destined to die, but under the guarantee of the two elders, Xiang Rusong said that he would explain the situation to the Jingshi at the meeting, and Xuchang was able to stay alive, but most of them would have no chance with the Clerk's Pavilion in the future.

In this regard, Lin Yu was also embarrassed, and even Lord Xu of the Clerk's Pavilion failed to stabilize his heart.

Fortunately, the gold and silver treasures he has received over the years have not been used, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

When all the incriminating evidence was cross-examined, a complete chain of interests was presented in the eyes of Fang Rusong and Lin Yu, as well as the elders of the two major clerical pavilions.

There are so many people involved in it that there are even ...... The name of Zheng Hong, the county guard of Mayang County, was also among them, including several officials in the Wuling Yamen.

And what made Lin Yu and Fang Rusong feel a little embarrassed the most was ...... In the incriminating evidence of the major booksellers, a common name appears.

The three elders of the Clerk's Pavilion Song Lishu!
