Chapter 694: Three Moves to Take Down Zhou Zibin
The appearance of Su Kang, the king of Yue, made Zhou Zibin stunned for a long time, this is Dongzhou, not Yuezhou, generally speaking, the crowned prince, even if it is the king of the county, will not leave his fiefdom without special circumstances, which is a kind of acquiescence and a kind of suspicion.
But Su Kang came to Dongzhou at this time, you know, half a year ago, because of the war in Yuezhou, the king of Yue was suspected of colluding with pirates and pirates, and was investigated by an investigation team sent by the imperial court.
For so long, although there is no substantial evidence, Su Kang is still trapped in Yuezhou and cannot leave for the time being, which is why Zhou Zibin was quite shocked by Su Kang's appearance.
Su Kang's appearance made Zhou Zibin have a bad premonition in his heart, he knelt on the ground, his eyes flashed, and just when he was thinking about something, Su Kang's voice sounded faintly.
"Lord Zhou doesn't need to be so afraid, get up, this king can understand your service to the country and the people, so I will go to it in person, Eunuch Feng and Lord Zhou will talk about whether this king is guilty of collusion!"
Feng Zheng, who was named, had a serious expression, took a few steps forward, and said to Zhou Zibin on the city tower.
"After nearly half a year of investigation by our investigation team, the so-called case of the King of Yue colluding with pirates and pirates is completely out of nowhere, and it is a slander against His Royal Highness the King of Yue.
Zhou Zibin hurriedly said that he didn't dare to apologize to Su Kang for hugging his fists again.
"It's the lower officials who are confused, listen to the rumors, and hope that His Highness will forgive his sins."
"Oh? Confused? Lord Zhou's eloquent talk just now is not like a foolish statement, and that righteous and awe-inspiring look makes this king admire it very much."
"The lower officials don't dare! The lower officials know their mistakes." Zhou Zibin's face was terrified, and he was about to kneel down and bow again, but was stopped by Su Kang waving his hand.
"Okay, this king didn't come far to Dongzhou, but I didn't listen to you admit your mistake, this matter ends here."
Zhou Zibin's heart was relieved, and he just wanted to say something, and then he heard Su Kangdao.
"Overseer, you want this king to show up, this king is here, you've had enough, don't waste time, take out your evidence."
"Play? Evidence?" Zhou Zibin was stunned.
Listening to this, his face was a little different, and then he only saw Su Qi'an clasping his fists at Su Kang, and smiled, "Since His Royal Highness has spoken, this envoy will not toss Lord Zhoumu."
"Someone, bring the things up to the envoy."
As Su Qi'an's voice fell, after a while, several teams of soldiers and more than a dozen large boxes were carried up.
The box was opened, and it was not gold and silver money, but a thick account book, Su Qi'an stepped forward, stood in front of the box, took an account book casually, and said unhurriedly.
"This thing is nothing else, it is part of the evidence about Zhou Zibin and Lord Zhou, who has been corrupt and perverted the law for more than ten years in the Houjiu County."
The moment Su Qi'an's voice fell, Zhou Zibin's ridicule sounded, "Hehe, this state still thinks that the supervision envoy has any ability, but it turns out that he can only talk nonsense and maliciously fabricate the so-called criminal evidence."
"With the ability of the supervision envoy, let alone doing these forged account books, as long as you are willing, any official in the entire Dongzhou can be slandered by you as a heinous corrupt official, Su Qi'an, are you worthy of the appointment of the imperial court."
"What else can you do besides jumping off the wall in a hurry, this kind of casual fabrication, do you think Your Highness and you will believe it?"
Zhou Zibin's rebuttal, Su Qi'an's face was calm, he nodded slightly, put down the account book in his hand, and continued.
"Lord Zhou is right, these account books, as long as the envoy is willing, can indeed be forged, including you, my lord, you also have the ability to do so, but what if the envoy says that these account books were handed over to the envoy by Lord Feng Nan?"
Zhou Zibin was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was full of deep disdain.
If Su Qi'an said someone else, Zhou Zibin might be able to believe it, but Feng Nan, this is not a big joke.
Not to mention that Feng Nan has followed him for many years and is his hardcore confidant, just leave it to him, how can Su Qi'an have time to see Feng Nan, before and after the outbreak of the war in Dongzhou, until the end, at least a month.
Feng Nan never left Zhou Zibin's side at all, even if it was
Zhou Zibin came to the front line, Feng Nan was always in the rear, and Su Qi'an fought fiercely on Zhoushan Island.
The distance between the two sides is at least hundreds of miles, can Su Qi'an fly or can he travel thousands of miles at night? What's more critical is that at this moment, Feng Nan is by his side.
Su Qi'an's rhetoric is not to make people laugh, but to laugh off their big teeth.
Zhou Zibin's ridicule, Su Qi'an had a little pity in his eyes, didn't say anything, and waved his hand.
The next moment, escorted by the two soldiers, a figure was tied up and escorted up.
With the appearance of this person, Zhou Zibin, who was still full of ridicule just now, was like eating something and choking on his throat, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Because it was none other than Dongzhou Cheng Fengnan who was escorted up.
Feng Nan was brought up, his eyes were frightened, he glanced at everyone, and fell on Zhou Zibin in the city tower, his face was excited, and he wanted to say something, but his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, and he couldn't say anything.
Zhou Zibin came back to his senses, his eyes swept back and forth at the downstairs of the city and behind him, the two almost identical Feng Nan, and hurriedly said.
"Su Qi'an, you don't come here, you want to deceive others, you can't deceive me, everyone knows that there is a disguise master by your side, and you want to fool Benzhou casually, it's ridiculous!"
Zhou Zibin said as he unconsciously leaned towards Feng Nan behind him, his sleeve robe, and his palm unconsciously clenched something.
It was less than a foot away from Feng Nan behind him, and suddenly, Feng Nan, who was standing behind him, shook his head and said softly.
"Lord Governor, I advise you not to act rashly if you want to live, you know what the consequences will be."
After speaking, this "Feng Nan" took a step ahead of Zhou Zibin, and pressed Zhou Zibin's arm with both hands.
Zhou Zibin's eyes flashed, and after glancing at "Feng Nan", he felt the force from his arm, sighed, and finally gave up resisting.
As soon as the palm of his hand was released, after a while, under the control of "Feng Nan", a dagger slipped down from the sleeve robe.
Downstairs in the city, Feng Nan appeared, looking at those familiar eyes, Zhou Zibin had already guessed in his heart that the person behind him was fake.
But he didn't want to give up, and wanted to take the opportunity of what he said just now to get close to the fake Feng Nan, make a move in advance, and take him hostage.
But compared with the real master, he is still a lot worse, he was recognized at a glance, not so much to be recognized, it is better to be watched by others from the beginning, and any every move cannot escape the attention of this person.
As the dagger was unloaded, this fake Feng Nan also tore off his face, and Zhou Zibin saw that he had a few relationships with this person.
It is Su Qi'an's personal guard, what is it called Tong Zhan.
At the same time, Su Qi'an's faint voice sounded in Zhou Zibin's ears.
"Lord Zhou, now that you are credible, are these accounts forged or real? If you insist on denying it, it doesn't matter, you have hostages in your hands, and this envoy has them in your hands."
After a while, two more figures were brought up, these two were Wu Xian and Jiang Kun.
The horror on the faces of the two was even worse, although they were bound, they struggled violently, the strip of cloth in their mouths was removed, and the two cried out for mercy.
"Inspector, spare your life, we are also acting on orders, the mastermind is the state pastor, we have no choice, please sir...
The two of them shouted for help, which made Zhou Zibin's face pale, and he scolded these two people in his heart, after all, they were a piece of mud.
Feng Nan, Wu Xian, and Jiang Kun were arrested, and Zhou Zibin had gradually calmed down from the shock at the beginning.
He didn't look at Wu Xian and Jiang Kun, the two guys who were afraid of death, his eyes turned and fell on the three Shen Wanfu who were tied up, and said softly, "You three were deliberately arrested and came to Benzhou on purpose."
At this time, the three people who were tied up had calm faces, and under the untying of Tong Zhan, the ropes and cloth strips on the three were taken down.
The three of them moved their muscles and said coldly, "That's right, everything is according to the orders of the Inspector, Lord Zhou, you are not the opponent of the Inspector, you should pay the price for what you have done in Dongzhou for so many years."
Shen Wanfu's cold words, Zhou Zibin did not refute, just sneered.
He stood on the city tower, looking ahead, although there were a large number of soldiers around him, but he could guess that most of the subordinates around him had already been replaced, and the entire city tower was basically controlled by Su Qi'an's people.
There are a large number of soldiers in the city, these are his people, but all around the city tower have been replaced, even if Zhou Zibin gives an order, the soldiers in the city can solve these people, presumably his life is not guaranteed.
Compared with his own life, Zhou Zibin cares more about how Su Qi'an will defeat him under his nose.
Su Qi'an did not hide this, and directly informed them one by one that before starting the Dongzhou War, collecting grain and grass from the rear and transferring Zhou Zibin to the front line was the first step.
Zhou Zibin is a person, Su Qi'an also understands during this time, since the war in Dongzhou, he will definitely not let go of this good opportunity, even if Su Qi'an does not collect grain and grass from the rear, Zhou Zibin will try his best to come to the front line, and this first step of transfer will be very smooth.
In the second step, from the beginning of the Dongzhou War, Su Qi'an led Wu Dingguo to fight at sea, leaving Fang Jingzhi and Qin Zhen behind, which seemed to be very safe, but in fact, it was specially prepared by Su Qi'an.
Sure enough, with Zhou Zibin's identity, he naturally disagreed with the surveillance of these subordinate officials, and with the start of the war, he would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble as a state pastor and send troops to the sea to support, so as to occupy the first nine counties of Dongzhou.
If you want to lure Zhou Zibin to make a move, the deliberate exposure of the third step is very important.
Fan Chong and Shenyang, who were placed in Zigui County by Su Qi'an to collect evidence of Zhou Zibin, Feng Nan and other crimes, came in handy at this time.
deliberately exposed, taking the opportunity to make Feng Nan think that he had seized the opportunity, but in fact, Su Qi'an had already sent Tong Zhan and other directly subordinate teams to sneak back to Zigui County before the Dongzhou War.
With the cooperation of Shen Wanfu, Feng Nan, Wu Xian, and Jiang Kun were arrested in one fell swoop.
Of course, this news cannot be revealed, and what was revealed to Zhou Zibin was the fake news that Feng Nan captured Fan Chong, Shen Yang, and Shen Wanfu for colluding with Su Qi'an.
With Zhou Zibin's temperament, getting such big news will definitely prompt him to make up his mind to occupy the first nine counties of Dongzhou and expose his ambitions.
One step to transfer out, two steps to lead the snake out of the hole, three steps to expose, just these three moves, Zhou Zibin was eaten to death.
