"My lords, he is the one who sent the villain to contact the thief, and this person is Lord Zhu's confidant."

At this time, Lu Junyi had already arrested all of Zhu Fu's people.

It didn't take much effort, and the arrested charlatan identified the mastermind behind the scenes.

The staff member was also speechless, such a simple task could overturn, and he had nothing to say.

He just couldn't understand why the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Society didn't care about killing her father, and cooperated with Cao Bin to calculate Zhu Fu in turn.

But at this point, it was useless to think about this, so I could only shout:

"Xiaosheng is innocent, and he will never let you insult ......"

As he spoke, he took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, the man in the rivers and lakes could betray Zhu Fu without any scruples, but he couldn't.

At this moment, he saw a flying stone hit his arm, knocking the poison down.

Jiang Ping reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to tie him up.

Feng Yihan withdrew his fingers, nodded to Cao Bin, and said no more.

Zhu Fu was relieved to see that the staff was going to make a decision on their own, but he didn't expect it to be a failure.

But at this point, no matter how much he defended, he was no longer convincing, and he could only hope that his staff would be strict.

So his face became cold, and he said coldly:

"Cao Bin, Bao Zheng, this official will definitely impeach you, you wait."

"This official just presented Qilin Xiangrui not long ago, Longyan Dayue, not only Cai Xiang will be the master of this official, but the official family will not believe in your framed ......"

The purpose of his words was not to threaten Cao Bin and Bao Zheng, but to build confidence in his aides and make him believe that he would not fall.

Even if it falls, the imperial court will open up the net and give itself a chance to make a comeback.

As long as the staff is strict enough, he has the ability to rescue him.

What's more, Bao Zheng doesn't like torture, as long as the staff doesn't confess themselves, there is still a chance to get away with it......

Just as he was thinking about his next move, Cao Bin suddenly asked:

"Li Tuiguan, I heard that you wrote a book of foreign birds and beasts?"

Li Tuiguan from Hangzhou hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Returning to the waiting master, the lower officials suspect that the small foreign countries deceived me that the Great Song Dynasty did not know overseas birds and beasts, and wanted to use ordinary deer to pretend to be unicorns to deceive gifts, so I researched in many ways."

"As expected, there are hundreds of thousands of so-called unicorns, which are called giraffes, which is very common."

"In order to avoid similar scams, Xiaguan has compiled a variety of foreign birds and beasts into a book, which has printed 100,000 copies and is waiting for ....... sale."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw Zhu Fu looking at him with ghostly eyes, and he was suddenly frightened, and stammered:

"Lord Zhu."

Zhu Fu was cold in his language, and said quietly:

"Li Tuiguan, do you know what you're talking about?"

"I advise you to think carefully!"

and a hundred thousand copies of the Martains were printed.

Now the whole Song Dynasty knows that there is a unicorn in the imperial court, so why the hell are you blatant slapping the court in the face and making the court a laughing stock in the world.

You Li Tuiguan is not unlucky, I don't know, I, Zhu Fu, will definitely be hated to death by the whole court.

Zhu Fu knew what the consequences of offending the whole court were, and he would rather sit on the charge of colluding with thieves and embezzling taxes and silver.

If the latter, he may also rely on the background of so many years of Huan Hai to ask Cai Jing for help and leave his life, maybe there is a possibility of recovery.

But offering fake auspiciousness and making the court a laughing stock, he is bound to die.

This is no longer a question of guilt or not.

It's everyone who wants him to be unlucky, so he's a fart.

Hearing Zhu Fu's threat, Li Tuiguan glanced at Cao Bin carefully, full of helplessness, so he had to say righteously:

"Xia Guan is honest and straightforward, even if he is broken, what is he afraid of?"

"If Lord Zhu doesn't believe it, you can go with the lower officials to see it, and the lower officials have spent a lot of money to ask the maritime merchants to catch dozens of giraffes in order to verify the situation......

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Fu was already pale and covered in cold sweat.

This is because I didn't die completely enough, and I have to step on a few feet to kill someone, and I can't save it at all......

Three days later, Bao Zheng found Cao Bin and said:

"Loyal to Jing, Zhu Fu's staff has all summoned confessions."

"According to him, the White Lotus Society has already disguised its identity and sold the tax grain to you."

"I hope you can pay the official taxes."

As he spoke, he stared at Cao Bin tightly and said:

"Zhongjinghou rest assured, since he has confessed to framing you through this means."

"Even if the imperial court knows that the tax grain is in the hands of Zhongjinghou, you will only fail to check it for a while at most......"

Cao Bin glanced at him, shook his head and smiled:

"Since Master Bao said so, he should know that Cao doesn't know what is tax grain."

"Anyway, all the food in Cao's hand has been given to the refugees!"

He was very suspicious that Bao Zheng was tricking himself, but even if he didn't have a routine, Cao Bin didn't plan to hand over the grain.

Why should you hand over what you bought with your own money, and you can't do it at a loss.

Bao Zheng looked at Cao Bin for a long time and said:

"The imperial court ordered us to make up the taxes of the two Zhejiang, but now there is a big gap."

"This official suspects that the White Lotus Society has not been completely exterminated, they have hidden a large part of the tax silver, and they are nowhere to be found, dare to ask Zhongjing how to solve it?"

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"Then I have to ask Zhu Fu."

As he spoke, he laughed and continued:

"Master Bao, why don't you suspect Zhu Fu's comrades, maybe they took advantage of this tax robbery case to embezzle money and food.......

Bao Zheng groaned:

"Are you going to make up the tax money for the Jiangnan gentry? Do you know the consequences of this? ”

Cao Bin smiled:

"Master Bao, Zhu Fu's home, but there is a lot of evidence of his dealings with local officials and gentry."

"Whoever dares not to cooperate, that is to be guilty of the same crime as Zhu Fu and collude with the thief!"

Bao Zheng was a little speechless when he saw Cao Bin coming again, but he was not too disgusted to be able to pit the gentry and be strong.

For officials of serious origin, many gentry annexed land, evaded national taxes, and had bad deeds, and they did not have a good impression.

Several famous changes in later dynasties had decrees specifically for the gentry to pay taxes.

After Cao Bin expressed his thoughts, he didn't stay long and left soon.

Knowing that at this time, Gongsun Ce came back to his senses from the horror and said to Bao Zheng:

"Zhongjinghou's courage is too great, is he not afraid that the Jiangnan gentry will jointly resist?"

"I'm afraid he will be hated by the entire Jiangnan, and maybe there will be civil unrest."

As a native of the Song Dynasty, he knew too well the power of the gentry.

Bao Zheng shook his head and said solemnly:

"It's not that serious, and Cao Bin is not that simple."

"He only targeted a part of the people who were close to Zhu Fu this time, and Mr. Gongsun may not have paid attention to it, and he himself used the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce to win over a group of gentry."

"Soon, these targeted gentry will be greatly weakened and replaced by another group of people."

"If he co-opts a group, strikes a group, and deters a group, his methods have become more and more mellowed, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

"This official is just worried, his goal is to completely control the two Zhejiang."

"At that time, it is not easy for the official to sit idly by, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the imperial court!"

Speaking of this, his face was even more worried:

"There is also the case of the robbery of the tax bank, which is not as simple as it seems."

"Zhu Wu colluded with the White Lotus Society...... I'm afraid that Cao Bin's collusion is deeper, and Zhu Fu is just a failure of calculation. ”

"Although the official doesn't want to admit it, this matter really fulfills the old saying that a king is a king and a loser."

Gongsun Ce's heart was moved, and he said:

"This ...... What are you going to do? ”

Bao Zheng sighed:

"Let's take a look again...... Maybe the official is too worried. ”

"Cao Bin has always been eclectic in doing things, and the official still believes in his personality."

"As long as his purpose is not bad, the official must let go of some hands and feet."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said:

"Okay, Zhu Fu's case should also have a result."

"This official will write a chapter to the court, and I will trouble Mr. Gongsun to refer to one or two."
