Zhu Qizhen’s face was dark, and his gloomy eyes seemed to be murderous.
If it was an ordinary piece of silver, that would be fine. However, this Niu Dabao held important information about the rebels. As the prefect, he didn't notice it and let the real murderer go for a few hundred taels of silver. It's really unreasonable.
!
Mahler Gobi, could it be that I haven’t killed many people recently, so I have forgotten my status as a legitimate emperor and a tyrant?
"Ningbo Mansion Zhang Chun!"
"Wei Chen is here!"
Zhang Chun shivered with fright, immediately knelt down and lowered his head.
Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "I will give you one last chance. How did Niu Dabao die?"
"Yes, it is... a shipyard..."
"I'm warning you!"
Zhu Qizhen interrupted him and said coldly: "That Wu Zuo is right outside the door, and there must be other clues to investigate this case. If you don't tell the truth, I will punish you from the Nine Clan!"
"I, I... Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Zhang Chun couldn't bear it anymore and lay on the ground crying.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Wei Chen is aware of his guilt... He is aware of his guilt!"
Zhang Chun could no longer hold on and had to tell the story of the whole incident.
In fact, he had no idea whether the cause of Niu Dabao's death was a knife wound, a fist, a kick, or a stick.
Because he doesn’t care!
He's just a gangster, is there any need to alert the prefect?
Ma Duan saw this clearly and settled the matter with only five hundred taels of silver.
After Zhang Chun collected the money, he thought about the people in the shipyard. After arriving in Ningbo, they all looked arrogant and resentful in his heart.
Just use this eucalyptus pile to pour dirty water on the shipyard. Wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone!
Whoever wants to do this will end up shooting himself in the foot. This is really a result of his own doing.
However, he still can't figure out why the emperor cares so much about this scandal?
Isn't it just a gangster who died, as for...
Zhu Qizhen didn't look like he was lying. It seemed that this guy was just a fool and was being taken advantage of.
"Zhang Chun listens!"
Zhang Chun hurriedly knelt down respectfully: "I respectfully welcome the imperial edict!"
Zhu Qizhen said in a deep voice: "Zhang Chun, the prefect of Ningbo, accepted bribes, acted unfairly, and deliberately slandered others. He is now removed from the post of prefect of Ningbo and handed over to the Jinyi Guards for investigation."
】
After hearing this, Zhang Chun rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.
Yuan Bin squatted down, checked his breathing, felt for his pulse, and then said: "I just fainted from fright, nothing serious."
Zhu Qizhen curled his lips and said in a disdainful tone: "How did you get the position of prefect with such a psychological quality? After you go down, tell Zhejiang Chief Envoy and officials related to Zhang Chun, especially the ones who recommended him in the first place.
Check everything about him!"
Yuan Bin replied: "Yes!"
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and then asked: "Are there any important clues over there at Wu Zuo?"
Yuan Bin shook his head and said: "He only knew that Niu Dabao was killed with a single knife, but Zhang Chun asked him to write that he was beaten and died of serious injuries, so he had no choice but to do so. He didn't know anything else."
"Are there no other clues about this person?"
"Back to the emperor, I will continue to investigate and should be able to find some clues."
"Go ahead, if you have any news, come and tell me immediately."
"Yes!"

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
In the dark cave, Wynn continued to explore.
He is now in the mountain of Zhongshan. There is no light around him, so he can only keep groping.
It was dark in the cave, and he didn't know how long it took. Finally, he followed the water and found an exit.
This place was originally an underground river. During the dry season, the river flows from below and cannot be seen from above.
Fortunately, there has been a lot of rain recently and the rivers have swelled. Wynn was able to follow the direction of the river and find a hole that was not much bigger than a dog hole. The light came out from a long distance away.
He was overjoyed and quickly came to the entrance of the cave. When he looked out, there was a cliff outside!
Perhaps he had been in the darkness for a long time, and his thirst for light did not allow him to return to the cave.
So, Wynn gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped down along the current.
Plop!
There was a huge pool below. Wynn was not very proficient in water skills. He swam to the shore with all his teeth and claws, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The summer sun was scorching and his clothes got wet, but he didn't care. He followed the river and found a path until he came to a town near the river.
This place shouldn't be far from Nanjing City, but...the people under my command are not here, and I have no money, what should I do?
It really doesn’t work...just walk!
Wynn made up his mind and was about to find someone to ask for directions when he heard two businessmen-looking people discussing in a low voice at a roadside food stall.
"Have you seen the emperor? I don't believe it, he must be bragging!"
"Really, that day, the emperor walked on the main road by the river. I saw it clearly."
"He is the emperor, so he must be sitting in a big car. How could you see that?"
"The emperor did not ride in a car, but rode a horse."
"Weird, why are you riding a horse..."
While the two were chatting, Wynn came over and asked, "Excuse me, did they just talk about the emperor?"
One of them looked at him and said: "Yes, we just said that the emperor is very majestic when he rides a horse!"
"Your Majesty... where has he gone?"
"They said they went to Ningbo Prefecture, but there seems to be something wrong with them."
"Thank you!"
"Hey..."
The man suddenly stopped him, then looked up and down, and asked: "Looking at your dress, do you think you have studied?"
Wynn was stunned and casually replied: "I have read some!"
The man asked again: "Where can I go, brother?"
Wynn was about to leave, so he shook his head, meaning there was no job.
But the man came forward, took Wynn's hand, and said: "We are from Caoji Shipping Company. Our cargo volume has almost doubled this year. However, we have always been short of manpower. Brother, if you are willing to come to the shipyard to be a
Mr. Accountant, give me seven taels of silver every month... no, eight taels of silver!"
Wynn was too lazy to pay attention to him, clasped his fists in salute, turned around and left.
"Brother, don't leave yet!"
The other party thought that he was underpaid, so he said: "Our accountant also has to go with the ship. When he gets there, he has to unload the goods and check the accounts. I don't want you to work in vain. Every time you leave the ship, I will give you an extra one."
A subsidy of two silver coins!"
Wynn thought to himself, I will give your grandma a certificate!
Who am I? How can I have time to chat with you here?
The man only thought that Huai En was too little, so he said again: "For example, today's boat trip is going to Ningbo. After the ship enters the port, you are only responsible for counting the goods. After the steward on the ship has received the goods, you will count again.
I will leave for a while, and then I will come back. It will probably only take about ten days. How about you think about it?"
Wynn suddenly became interested and asked: "You just said...do you have a ship to Ningbo?"
