In fact, Sun Yuan has a tough mouth, but he can't stop others from being cowardly.

After experiencing the torture of Jin Yiwei, each one of them wanted to tell the story of watching the widow from the neighboring village take a bath when they were children.

Then I heard that reporting others could lead to meritorious service, so everyone started biting each other like crazy.

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

However, the one who is talked about the most is Ku Ambassador Sun Yuan.

His hands and feet have been very unclean over the years, but he never eats alone, which is why he has been free for so many years.

In addition, he has managed Suzhou's officialdom well, and generally speaking, no one will cause trouble for him.

However, this time the case was supervised by the Emperor Taisun himself, and the Jin Yiwei strongly intervened. In order to get away with it, everyone had no choice but to confess him.

The ordinary soldiers here at the warehouse only knew that Ambassador Ku was rich, but no one knew how much he had.

Some said tens of thousands taels, some said thousands taels, and some even offered a million taels directly.

Although the Jin Yiwei tried the case separately, they were in communication with each other to prevent the prisoners from colluding in confession.

Therefore, after other Jin Yiwei obtained this confession, they came to Xu Liuzi for verification.

When Xu Liuzi saw that Ambassador Ku was so greedy, he immediately used his special skills to deal with Sun Yuan to the point of death.

Sun Yuan couldn't bear the torture, so he could only honestly confess the fact that someone bribed him to destroy the warehouse.

He wanted to get away with betraying Zhang Tianyou, thereby further covering up the fact of his corruption and crime.

However, Jin Yiwei has actually fought against corruption over the years and has inherent respect for corrupt criminals.

After learning that he had embezzled a lot of money, how many people were waiting with red eyes to search their homes. How could he be allowed to get away with it so easily?

As a result, under Xu Liuzi's repeated torture, Sun Yuan finally gave up resistance and confessed the facts of his crimes over the years.

After Xu Liuzi received all the confessions, he came to the emperor's grandson with great expectations to claim credit.

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

"According to his confession, he has embezzled more than 600,000 taels in total over the years, but most of them were used to buy houses and land. He only has a few hundred thousand taels in savings, and Zhang Tianyou still has 50,000 taels.

, saying that he would be given another 50,000 yuan after the warehouse caught fire..."

"Zhang Tianyou?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this name, he frowned subconsciously.

If it weren't for the purpose of creating a good business environment for Ming Dynasty and completely reversing the negative influence caused by Grandpa Huang, he would have used the power agencies to kill all these people in one fell swoop.

Even so, he still sent Jin Yiwei to the nine large merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to find out information about them.

"What do our people who are ambushing the Zhang family say?"

Zhang Qing came to see Zhu Yunxi talking with Jin Yiwei, and immediately wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Zhu Yunxi.

"Old Zhang, you are one of our own, don't be so nervous!"

When Zhang Qinglai heard this, he felt as if he had eaten bee excrement, and he quickly sat down on half of the chair next to his buttocks.

"Back to Your Highness, our people can't get in. We can only do some odd jobs outside."

"The core layers of the nine large merchants are all tied by family and blood ties and never accept strangers."

"However, my humble position has bribed the maids and slaves in their house. Once there is news, it will be sent back immediately!"

"It's just that this Zhang family is more difficult to find. Because of the attack on Suzhou City, there were not many Zhang family members left. Now they are still hiding in Tibet. It is very difficult to find them!"

When Zhang Qinglai heard this, his mind suddenly moved.

Zhu Yunxi deliberately didn't go behind his back just now. This was a sign of trust in him. He had to repay the Emperor Taisun's trust!

"Emperor Grandson, do you want to arrest Zhang Tianyou?"

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and said.

"It's not that I want to catch you, I just want to date you.

Come out and talk."

"The grudges of the previous generation have nothing to do with Gu. As long as he can cooperate with the court and support the development of Shibo Company, Gu can forget the blame."

Zhang Qinglai felt more confident after hearing this, and immediately recommended himself.

"If that's the case, you can try a humble job."

"you?"

Zhu Yunhe looked at Zhang Qinglai in surprise, wondering what he meant by trying.

Zhang Qinglai said awkwardly.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't mention my humble position just now. Part of my income comes from the filial piety of merchants."

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

"In fact, the Zhang family often travels in and out of Suzhou, but the government has always ignored them. This is also the reason."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his eyes became filled with anger.

"This is no small matter for you. You are openly going against the emperor's decree and condoning..."

"never mind!"

"It's been decades since this happened, so it's no longer interesting to mention it again."

Zhang Qinglai quickly explained.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I didn't even think of doing this in my humble position, but Suzhou magistrates have done this in the past, and all the officials in Suzhou Prefecture have taken this filial piety. If I don't take it in my humble position, I will be going against the entire officialdom of Suzhou!"

"I am in a humble position and am alone. If I want to be free in the backwaters of Suzhou, I have to do something!"

When Zhu Yunxi saw Zhang Qinglai saying this, the disgust in his heart subsided a little.

There is nothing wrong with what Lao Zhang said. Suzhou is the headquarters of the Zhang family, and the local government in Suzhou has been under the control of the Zhang family for decades. If he, an outsider, does not show the favor of the Zhang family, he may eventually be ostracized and dismissed from office.

"How much do they pay you every year?"

"Not much, only ten thousand taels per year, but the best thing is stability..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he exclaimed in his heart: "What a good guy." Zhang Qinglai had been the prefect of Suzhou for three years, and he only collected a total of 100,000 taels of silver, and the Zhang family contributed one-third.

With this kind of kindness, it would be damning if the government could arrest the Zhang family.

"What do you want to do?"

"Back to Your Highness, I intend to build a cenotaph for Zhang Shicheng in the name of the prefect of Suzhou."

"In this way, no matter how far away the Zhang family hides, they will come out on their own initiative!"

"This method..."

The more Zhu Yunxi listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he secretly thought to himself that Zhang Qinglai was quite a sinister person.

But this method is really good. The ancients valued filial piety most, and Zhang Qinglai had this affection. If the Zhang family does not give him 20,000 taels of silver in the next year, the people of Suzhou will accuse them of being heartless.

But if Grandpa Huang finds out about this, will he hang me under the rafters to have a heart-to-heart talk again?

When Zhang Qing came to see Zhu Yunxi, he didn't say anything, thinking that Zhu Yunxi was worried.

"Your Majesty, the enmity between His Majesty the Emperor and Zhang Shicheng was not as deep as that of Chen Youliang. Moreover, when His Majesty personally attacked Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng did not attack from behind, which can be considered as a favor to Your Majesty."

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

"That's it..."

"Then just write a letter to the court. If it's not convenient for you to come forward, I'll leave it all to you!"

"promise!"

After Zhu Yunxi and Zhang Qinglai finalized the matter, they saw Xu Liuzi still waiting nearby and couldn't help but ask.

"Is there anything else?"

Xu Liuzi thought to himself that you haven't ordered the house to be searched yet, how could he leave his humble position?

"Your Highness, the corruption case of Ambassador Ku..."

"oh oh……"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized what he said.

"Searching the house, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then copy it!"

"Also, send someone to the Zhang family to ask when the remaining fifty thousand taels of silver will be given!"

"Back to Your Highness, according to Sun Yuan's account, Zhang Tianyou has a sweetheart in Suzhou City. Who is Mrs. Qin? Do you want to take a humble trip over there?"

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while after hearing this.

"Go and ask, but don't use force. It's just a normal summons."

When Xu Liuzi heard this, he quickly agreed happily.

"Okay!"

"Just take a look, Your Highness!"

After receiving Zhu Yunxi's order, Xu Liuzi immediately ordered a hundred royal guards and stormed into Sun Yuan's home.

After seizing more than 100,000 taels of silver and countless house and land deeds from Sun Yuan's family, he led his men to kill Qin's house.

Qin Xiangsi originally complained that Zhang Tianyou was timid and scared him away at the slightest sign of trouble. Now that he saw the Jin Yiwei moving so fast and killing him as soon as the fire was put out, he was frightened out of his mind.

When Xu Liuzi saw Qin Xiangsi being supported by the little maid, his mouth felt dry for a while.

She deserves to be a famous prostitute in Suzhou, with this figure, this face, these breasts, this butt...
