In fact, Sun Yuan's mouth is quite hard, but he can't stand the cowardice of others.

One by one, after experiencing the torture of Jinyiwei, I can't wait to explain the matter of watching the widow in the neighboring village take a bath when I was a child.

Then I heard that reporting others could make meritorious contributions, and one by one they began to bite wildly.

Some people say that Zhang San stole a bag of raw silk and sold it for money, some people say that Li Si stole the wood in the warehouse to build a house, and some people say that Wang Wuke deducted the bean dregs from mules and horses and took them back to feed the pigs.

However, the one who was talked about the most was Sun Yuan, the ambassador of the library.

His hands and feet have been very unclean over the years, but he has never eaten alone, which has allowed him to be free for so many years.

In addition, he has put the Suzhou officialdom in place, and generally no one will trouble him.

However, this time it was the case personally supervised by the emperor's grandson, and there was a strong intervention by Jinyiwei, and everyone had to confess him in order to make meritorious contributions.

The ordinary soldiers on this side of the warehouse only know that the ambassador is rich, but no one knows how much he has.

Some say tens of thousands of taels, some say thousands of taels, and some lions open their mouths and directly report one million taels.

Although the Jinyiwei tried the case separately, at that time to prevent the prisoners from colluding confessions, they were able to communicate with each other.

Therefore, after the other Jinyi guards got this confession, they came to Xu Liuzi for verification.

Xu Liuzi saw that an ambassador of the library was so greedy, even if he had the ability to take care of the house, it was better to live and die than to clean up Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan couldn't bear the torture, so he could only honestly explain the fact that someone had bought him off and asked him to destroy the warehouse.

He wanted to get away with it by betraying Zhang Tianyou, so as to further cover up the fact that he was guilty of corruption.

However, Jin Yiwei has been anti-corruption for so many years, and has an innate respect for embezzlers.

After learning that he was greedy for a lot of money, how many people were waiting for the raid with red eyes, how could he let him get away with it so easily?

So, in the torture of Xu Liuzi's persistent efforts, Sun Yuan finally gave up resistance and confessed the facts of his crimes over the years.

After Xu Liuzi got all the confessions, he came to the imperial grandson with a look of anticipation.

"Your Highness, this is Sun Yuan's entire confession."

"According to his confession, he has embezzled a total of more than 600,000 taels over the years, but most of them have been used to buy houses and land, and the silver in his hand is only 100,000 taels, and 50,000 taels are in Zhang Tianyou's hands, saying that he will give him another 5......0,000 taels after the warehouse fires."

"Zhang Tianyou?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this name, he subconsciously frowned.

If it weren't for the purpose of creating a good business environment for Daming, and completely reversing the bad influence caused by the emperor's grandfather, he would have used his power to wipe out these people a long time ago.

Even so, he still sent Jinyi Guards to the merchants of the Nine Seas in Jiangnan to find out the news from them.

"What do we say about the people who are ambushed on the Zhang family's side?"

Zhang Qinglai saw Zhu Yunxi talking to Jinyiwei, and immediately wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Zhu Yunxi.

"Lao Zhang, you are also our own person, don't be so nervous!"

As soon as Zhang Qinglai heard this, his heart felt as if he had eaten bee feces, and he hurriedly sat on half of the chair next to his buttocks.

"Back to Your Highness, our people can't get in, so we can only do some chores on the periphery."

"The core layer of the Nine Seas Merchants is tied by family and blood, and never accepts strangers."

"However, the lowly position has already bought off the maids and servants in their house, and once there is news, it can be transmitted back immediately!"

"It's just that this Zhang family is more difficult to get, because of the attack on Suzhou City back then, there are not many people left in the Zhang family, and now they are still hiding in Tibet, and it is difficult to find them!"

When Zhang Qinglai heard this, his heart suddenly moved.

Just now, Zhu Yunxi deliberately didn't carry him, this is his trust, and he has to repay the trust of the imperial grandson!

"Imperial grandson, do you want to arrest Zhang Tianyou?"

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while.

"It's not about catching, it's just about dating

Come out and talk."

"The grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with Lone, as long as he can cooperate with the court and support the development of the city, Lone can not be blamed in the past."

Zhang Qinglai felt more confident when he heard this, and immediately recommended himself.

"If that's the case, you can try it."

"You?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhang Qinglai in surprise, not knowing what he meant by trying.

Zhang Qinglai said embarrassedly.

"Please forgive Your Highness, I didn't say everything about my humble position just now, and part of the income from my humble position comes from the filial piety of the merchants."

"The Zhang family is the biggest businessman among them."

"In fact, the Zhang family often goes in and out of Suzhou, and the government has always ignored them, and there are also reasons for this."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, there was anger in his eyes.

"It's not a trivial matter for you, blatantly going against the emperor's decree and conniving at ......."

"Forget it!"

"It's been decades, and there's no point in mentioning it anymore."

Zhang Qinglai hurriedly explained.

"Your Highness forgives your sins, and you don't want to do this with your humble position, but the prefects of Suzhou have done it in previous dynasties, and the officials of Suzhou Mansion have also taken this filial piety, if you don't take your humble position, you will be against the entire officialdom of Suzhou!"

"I am alone in my job, and if I want to let go of my hands and feet in the stagnant water of Suzhou, there are some things that I have to do!"

When Zhu Yunxi saw Zhang Qinglai say this, the disgust in his heart subsided.

There is nothing wrong with what Lao Zhang said, Suzhou is the base camp of the Zhang family, and the local government in Suzhou has been dotted by their Zhang family for decades.

"How much do they give you each year?"

"It's not much, only 10,000 taels a year, but it's better to ...... stability."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he called out to the good guy in his heart. Zhang Qinglai served as the prefect of Suzhou for three years, and only received a total of 100,000 taels of silver, and the Zhang family contributed one-third.

With this kindness, it is hellish for the government to arrest the Zhang family.

"What do you want to do?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, I plan to build a tomb for Zhang Shicheng in the name of the prefect of Suzhou."

"In this way, no matter how far the people of the Zhang family hide in the ends of the earth, they will take the initiative to come out!"

"This method ......"

The more Zhu Yunxi listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he secretly said in his heart that Zhang Qinglai was a very yin person.

But this method is really good, the ancients paid the most attention to filial piety, Zhang Qinglai has this affection, the Zhang family will not give him 20,000 taels of silver in the future, and the people of Suzhou will have to scold them for having no conscience.

It's just that the emperor's grandfather knows about this, will he hang me under the beam of the house to talk again?

Zhang Qinglai saw that Zhu Yunxi was silent for a long time, and thought that Zhu Yunxi had concerns.

"Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor did not have a deep enmity with Zhang Shicheng back then, far less than Chen Youliang. Moreover, when His Majesty personally drove Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng did not sneak attack from the rear, which can be regarded as giving His Majesty face."

"Therefore, as long as this matter is reported to the court, the court will definitely allow it."

"That's ......."

"Then you can write to the court, this matter is inconvenient to come forward, so I will leave it all to you!"

"No!"

After Zhu Yunxi and Zhang Qinglai finalized this matter, they couldn't help but ask when they saw that Xu Liuzi was still waiting on the side.

"Is there anything else?"

Xu Liuzi thought to himself, you haven't ordered the raid yet, how can you leave with your humble position!

"Your Highness, Ambassador Ku's embezzlement case......

"Oooh......"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized when he heard this.

"Raiding the house, huh?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then copy it!"

"In addition, send someone to Zhang's house to ask, when will the remaining 50,000 taels of silver be given!"

"Back to His Royal Highness, according to Sun Yuan's explanation, Zhang Tianyou has a good friend in Suzhou City, what is the name of Mrs. Qin, do you want to go over to the past?"

Zhu Yunxi thought about it when he heard this.

"Go and ask, but don't be rude, it's a normal summons."

When Xu Liuzi heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

"Okay!"

"Your Highness, just take a look!"

Xu Liuzi got Zhu Yunxi's order, immediately lit up a hundred brocade guards, and rushed into Sun Yuan's house with great momentum.

After obtaining more than 100,000 taels of silver from Sun Yuan's house, as well as countless house deeds, he led people to kill the Qin mansion.

Qin Xiangsi originally complained that Zhang Tianyou was timid, and he was scared away after a little trouble. Now seeing that the speed of the Jinyi Guard is so fast, the fire over there has just been extinguished and killed, and he is suddenly frightened.

When Xu Liuzi saw Qin Xiangsi, who was supported by the little maid, he also felt a dry mouth.

is worthy of being a famous prostitute in Suzhou, this figure, this face, this breast, this ass......

"Ahem......

"This official is ordered by the emperor's grandson to take you to interrogate!"

When Qin Xiangsi heard this, his legs became weaker with fright, if it weren't for the little maid's support, he would probably have collapsed to the ground a long time ago.

When Xu Liuzi saw her delicate appearance, a small flame rose in his heart.

What a natural stunner!

"This lord, the woman doesn't know what crime she has committed, and the imperial grandson wants to order you to lock me up......

When Xu Liuzi heard this, he hurriedly put away his charming thoughts and talked serious nonsense.

"Sun Yuan has already confessed, saying that you instructed him to burn the official warehouse, and said that he would give him another 50,000 taels of silver after the matter is completed!"

Qin Xiangsi saw that Jinyi Wei even knew about Sun Yuan, and suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

Finished!

I've confessed my fate!

Qin Xiangsi's mind instantly appeared with many pictures that were inappropriate for children, such as being taken off his pants and hitting the board, riding on a wooden donkey on the street alive, and so on.

In ancient times, there were no more than several ways to punish female criminals, such as hitting boards, pinching fingers, riding wooden donkeys, and so on.

In general, women were also rarely punished in ancient times.

If a woman commits a crime involving a father, a brother, a husband, a son, etc., these people are usually questioned for questioning.

If there were no such people, they would have to be tortured to live, and it was mainly humiliating, and rarely directly harmed lives.

But many women couldn't stand the humiliation and committed suicide by hanging themselves when they returned from the yamen.

Qin Xiangsi had an inexplicable fear of the yamen, thinking that he would not be able to come back if he went to that place, and even if he could come out alive, he would definitely be stripped of the streets by the government.

Therefore, she only has one thought at this time, and that is to find a rope to hang herself!

"Please take a moment of grace and wait for the slave family to go in and change clothes......

Xu Liuzi wanted to refuse to come, but Qin Xiangsi's sentence of "slave family" said that his bones were crispy, so he nodded subconsciously.

Qin Xiangsi smiled gratefully at Xu Liuzi, and there was indeed infinite contempt in his heart.

Looking at this Jinyiwei's style, if she goes to prison, there will be no good fruit to eat!

Rather than being humiliated by such pickled people, it is better to hit your head to death!

Qin Xiangsi went back to the bedroom with the support of the little maid, and then sent the little maid out, took out a piece of white silk from the box and hung it on the beam.

Xu Liuzi waited outside for a cup of tea, and when he saw that Qin Xiangsi hadn't come out yet, he immediately felt a little anxious.

"Why is Mrs. Qin doing, why haven't you come out yet?"

"You go in and urge, tell your lady, this official doesn't have time to delay here!"

"Yes!"

The little maid answered, then pushed the door and walked into Qin Niangzi's bedroom, and let out a terrible scream.

"Oh no!"

"My eldest lady hanged herself!"

When Xu Liuzi heard this, he kicked open the door and rushed in. Seeing that there was really a person hanging on the beam, he hurriedly waved his knife to cut off Bai Aya, and caught it at the moment when Mrs. Qin fell.

Nephrite is warm and fragrant, but Xu Liuzi has no charming feelings. He laid Mrs. Qin flat on the ground, punched her in the chest a few times, and then pinched her neck to help her clear the blocked airway.

I don't know if those punches worked, or if it was effective to invigorate blood and dispel stasis, in short, it didn't take long for Qin Xiangsi to giggle twice, and he really started to gasp.

Xu Liuzi saw that Qin Xiangsi opened his eyes and said with surprise on his face.

"You're finally awake!"

Qin Xiangsi saw Xu Liuzi's face full of meat, and his heart suddenly turned like ashes.

She regrets it a little now, she shouldn't have thought about a "beautiful death" just now, and she had to wear makeup before she died.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be saved by the wicked person in front of him.

Qin Xiangsi, who woke up again, sobbed after panting evenly.

Xu Liuzi rarely sees a woman crying, even if it is Jinyiwei, he may not be able to see a few female criminals in a year.

At this time, seeing Qin Xiangsi crying so miserably, he panicked.

"What's the matter with you!"

"You are committing suicide in fear of sin, and if you catch the government, you will take off your clothes and hit the board!"

Xu Liuzi originally wanted to comfort the other party, but after he finished speaking, the other party cried even more sadly.

If it was still sobbing just now, it has evolved into a howling cry.

But now Xu Liuzi can't care so much, so he immediately ordered someone to tie up Qin Xiangsi and take him to the lobby of the Suzhou Prefect's Yamen.

However, at this time, Zhu Yunxi had already fallen asleep, and he didn't have time to take care of her at all.

In the end, Qin Xiangsi stayed in the lobby all night in a panic.

When Zhu Yunxi got up the next day, he first counted the criminal assets of Sun Yuan, a petty official who was a small official who was very greedy, and copied a total of 176,346 taels of silver.

Zhu Yunxi directly reported to the imperial court 170,000 taels, and the remaining fraction was all rewarded to the Jinyi Wei case-handling personnel.

The title deeds of real estate and the like are also auctioned on the spot, and all the proceeds are confiscated.

After being busy with these, after several reminders from Xu Liuzi, Zhu Yunxi came to the front hall.

At this time, Qin Xiangsi was about to explode by the internal urgency, and when he saw a beautiful young man suddenly walking in the lobby, he immediately begged softly.

"Little brother, can you help my sister untie the rope, my sister is dying of pain......

"Oh!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, she really stepped forward to help her untie the rope, Qin Xiangsi regained her freedom and ran out of the door on the spot.

But as soon as she went out, she was dumbfounded, she didn't know where the thatched house was!

"Little Brother ......"

"The thatched house is in the northeast corner of the lobby, and the word toilet is written......

When Qin Xiangsi heard this, two scarlets appeared on his face. But at this time, she couldn't care about being shy, so she could only run in the direction of the northeast corner.

At this time, she was even glad that she had been sold to a brothel since she was a child, and if she wrapped her little feet like a normal Jiangnan woman, then this little road would make it difficult for her to die.

After solving the internal urgency of the body, Qin Xiangsi returned to the lobby with a relaxed face and motioned for Zhu Yunxi to tie her up again.

"Little brother, my sister is back, you hurry up and tie it up for me, lest your family punish you for this!"

Zhu Yunxi let out a light "oh" again when he heard this, walked to the side of the rope and picked it up, but did not tie Qin Xiangxi.

"Lady Qin, why don't you go wash up and come to ask questions after dinner."

"Huh?"

In Qin Xiangsi's surprised gaze, Zhu Yunxi snapped his fingers, and then a team of maids came out from behind the screen and drove Qin Xiangsi to the back house to wash.

Qin Xiangsi vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure, so he immediately asked the maid beside him.

"Who was that boy just now?"

"That's His Royal Highness the Emperor of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Sure enough, it's him!"

Qin Xiangsi hammered his head in annoyance, thinking that he should have guessed it a long time ago. What an important place the prefect's lobby is

, how can ordinary teenagers come and go casually?

However, why did the imperial grandson treat himself like this?

You don't value your beauty, do you?

As soon as Qin Xiangsi's thought surfaced, she threw him out.

If she can be ten years younger, it is estimated that with her appearance, she can really charm the imperial grandson.

However, she is now twenty-five years old, and she has become an old woman, so she still has the charm of the past.

Besides, the age of the emperor's grandson is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he probably doesn't understand what love between men and women is.

It is really shameless that I have such dirty thoughts about a child!

So what exactly does he want to do to himself?

You don't want to hear me sing, do you?

Qin Xiangsi walked into the back house of the prefect's yamen with an unusually apprehensive mood, and washed under the service of a group of maids.

When she freshened up and asked for rouge gouache from the maid to redress herself, she looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly regained a little confidence in her heart.

Who said that this girl is twenty-five, no matter how you look at it, it is almost the same as a fifteen-year-old girl!
