I have heard of Zhou Bangsen's famous name Song Zheng. He was a close minister of the emperor back then, and he was also very popular. Even the royal princes in the capital had to get out of the car and salute when they saw him. If the chief minister at that time had any proposals, he wanted to secretly negotiate with him.
He discussed it and only dared to propose it to the emperor when he had his permission and would not interfere with it.
Zhou Bangsen took a fancy to the resources of the five Lingnan states, which are remote but rich in products. Yuzhou’s gold concentrate minerals, Mianzhou’s exotic flowers and rare herbs, Yuezhou’s jade veins, Songzhou’s prehistoric trees, and Yazhou’s sea
Any kind of spiritual salt can make a person rich overnight.
Moreover, Lingnan is far away from the capital. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If you go there, you will be the local emperor.
So Zhou Bangsen asked the emperor to appoint him as the inspector of the five Lingnan states. He came to Lingnan, but he only lasted for three years. He lost all favors in front of the emperor and was finally executed by order. Moreover, it was an extremely cruel car-breaking. It is conceivable that
I don't know how angry the emperor was with him.
Compared with Zhou Bangsen, although Song Zheng is now extremely powerful in Jiangnan, he is indeed much inferior in quality.
Chang Shun sneered and asked, "Could it be that a man from your family brought down Zhou Bangsen?"
The woman was secretly interested: "Who do you think collected the various evidences sent to the capital from Lingnan? Song Zheng, don't underestimate anyone in Lingnan, there may be a nobleman from the capital standing behind them!"
Even Zhou Bangsen can't withstand the power of people united, let alone Xiao Zhen. You, haha, needless to say."
She turned around and returned to the house: "That's all, Mr. Song, please take care of yourself. My man can disappear for a while, and he may live a miserable life, like a bereaved dog, but you, Mr. Song, when my man appears again, you may not be a bereaved dog.
It’s that simple.”
Song Zheng watched her walk back with a thoughtful expression. Chang Shun sneered at the side and said: "Sir, please don't listen to her nonsense. She is just a self-righteous crazy woman. She probably wants to scare us with her words and get us."
Just some preferential treatment."
Song Zheng smiled, turned around and left without commenting.
When he returned to the Yamen of the state capital, he ordered Chang Shun to search the homes of those corrupt officials, and then called Mei Bingsi over: "Find all the files of Zhou Bangsen from ten years ago."
Mei Bingsi bowed: "Yes."
In the morning, the documents Chang Shun copied for him were all recent. There is a special warehouse in the prefectural government office to store those ancient documents and files.
Mei Bingsi was indeed very skilled in his business. He had been there for a short time and brought over all the old files from ten years ago: "They are all here. Please take a look, sir."
Song Zheng tapped the table with his finger, and the files rose up in the air, unfolded, and then flipped quickly.
Mei Bingsi was born as a literary cultivator. Literary cultivators have many magical powers of fast and fast memory, but at most they can only reach the level of "ten lines with one eye". This is the first time he has seen Song Zheng like this. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly lowered his head and quietly retreated, going out.
Later, I secretly sighed: Sure enough, those who succeed are never lucky.
The official record about Zhou Bangsen is very simple, and the facts of the case are "clear at a glance". Zhou Bangsen embezzled 300 million yuan in jade in Lingnan.
Song Zheng couldn't help laughing after seeing it. Considering Zhou Bangsen's status at that time, could a mere 300 million yuan in jade be enough to defeat him? There was obviously a huge secret behind this.
But Song Zheng was not without gains. He discovered one thing in these files: Pu Shijia, who was just a head catcher in the state capital at that time, indeed played an important role in this case.
In other words, Pu Shijia's concubine did not lie.
Pu Shijia probably couldn't help bragging to his woman in bed, but the concubine was usually pampered and couldn't stand the current treatment, so she said these words to Song Zheng in anger, just like Chang Shun
I mean, I want to get some special treatment.
But on Song Zheng's side, these words made him "discover a big fish." His interest in Pu Shijia greatly increased, and he vaguely felt that he had caught Pu Shijia and might unveil some great big fish.
A secret corner.
With a smile on his lips, he secretly thought that he should really thank this pretentious woman.
He walked out of the room, raised the seal of the State Shepherd, and activated the city defense formation.
There was a panic inside and outside Lishui City. Why did the city defense formation suddenly open in broad daylight? Is there a demon clan attacking? Or is it a wild beast attacking the city?
Chang Shun, who was busy, looked up and ordered his subordinates: "Hurry and finish the matter and hurry back to the Yamen."
Song Zheng looked around the entire city, and the traces of Pu Shijia's soul were most densely concentrated in several places, one was his home, and the other was the prefectural government office. There were also three other places: one was a large gambling house in the west of the city, and the other was
The first one is the Yanbo Painting Boat on the Lishui River outside the city, and the third one is in the north of the city, which is a calligraphy and painting shop.
He took away the seal, the city defense formation was lifted, and Chang Shun came back quickly: "Sir?"
Song Zheng asked: "Is the errand done?"
Chang Shun presented the booklet: "It's done, sir, please take a look."
Song Zheng glanced at it, finally looked at the summarized figures, and nodded: "Okay."
After a while, he ordered: "Take someone with you and go out with me."
"yes."
…
The Wanhao Gambling House is one of the three largest gambling houses in Lishui City, and it is also ranked high in the whole of Lingnan. The brothel's business only flourishes at night, while the gambling house is full all day long.
There was a lot of traffic at the entrance of the gambling house, and there were many small merchants and hawkers doing business in this big gambling house. When Long Yiwei quickly appeared and occupied the entire street, these people hurriedly retreated in a panic.
There was also a reaction in the gambling house. An ancestor appeared at the door with twelve major cultivators. Then, the door of the gambling house opened, and a sinister middle-aged man with triangular eyes and narrow cheeks was protected by the other two ancestors.
appeared next.
There were two iron galls in his hands, which were indeed two spiritual treasures!
"Sir Song!" He slightly cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what you are doing when you come to my Marriott Casino with Long Yi Guards in such a fierce manner?"
Chang Shun whispered in his ear: "The shopkeeper of Marriott Casino is not upright."
Song Zheng didn't take his attitude seriously. After all, he was doing business well and making money every day. If he delayed for a while, he might lose millions of jade, so of course he wouldn't look good.
He asked calmly: "Let me ask you a few questions."
Bao BuZheng smiled and said, "What do you want to ask, sir?"
"Pu Shijia, does he come to your place often?"
"Hahaha." Bao Buzheng smiled and opened his arms and said: "Sir, Mr. Bao runs a casino, and all the guests come here. Mr. Pu Shijia likes to come and play a few games. I can't kick Mr. Pu out.
?”
Chang Shun was a little annoyed at the side, Bao Buzheng's attitude was a bit arrogant, Long Yiwei was used to being arrogant, and of course he couldn't bear to see others being arrogant in front of him.
Song Zheng nodded lightly: "That's natural, but Pu Shijia has come many times. When was the last time he came?"
"Call over the little spirit who is dedicated to serving Mr. Pu." Bao Buzheng turned around and ordered, and soon a girl with a beautiful appearance and a prominent figure came up with her head lowered and replied: "Sir Pu came here at noon yesterday and lost 50,000 yuan.
Jade, then we drank some tea in Linglong Pavilion and left."
After the girl finished speaking, she withdrew, and Song Zheng kept staring at her until she went back inside.
Bao BuZheng spread his hands: "Do you have anything else to ask, sir?"
Song Zheng said: "There is nothing more to ask, but I want to go in and search."
Bao Buzheng's expression changed: "Master Song, Bao has been very cooperative."
Song Zheng nodded: "If you cooperate a little more, I can kill you alone and not implicate your family."
Bao Buzheng was furious. He clenched two Lingbao iron galls with one hand and pointed at his feet with the other hand: "Do you know whose territory this is? You are used to being domineering in Jiangnan. I'm afraid you don't know the water in Lingnan."
How deep?"
"Oh?" Song Zheng still said calmly: "Then tell me, whose territory is this?"
Bao BuZheng raised his hand towards the capital: "My master is from the cabinet!"
Song Zheng chuckled: "Bao Bu BuTong, I'll give you another chance. I've thought about my choice. I usually don't give people a second chance. Because I'm new here, the people in Lingnan don't understand me, so this time I have a big problem."
Be patient."
Bao BuTong was filled with annoyance: "Song Zheng! Are you really shameless?" He grabbed out a homophonic bone charm and connected it carefully. A solemn and solemn voice came from the other side: "What's the matter?"
"Sir," Bao BuTong was completely different from when he faced Song Zheng, flattering and flattering him: "Song Zheng is here and wants to search our gambling house."
"Him?" The voice was obviously dissatisfied: "Let him talk to me."
"Yes." Bao BuTong's triangular eyes flashed with a sinister and proud light, and handed the homophonic bone talisman to Song Zheng, who lazily said: "Which one?"
"I, Yan Yongchang, do you have to go into the Marriott Casino?"
Song Zheng knew clearly in his heart that Yan Yongchang ranked fourth in the cabinet and was a genuine cabinet minister!
Seeing the change in Song Zheng's face, Bao Bubutong knew that Long Yiwei could only retreat obediently. Song Zheng entered Yuzhou, captured the state pastor Ximen Hong, and drove away the chief arrester Pu Shijia. This morning, at the state capital again,
The Yamen beat all the officials severely, which can be said to be "arrogant" and everyone in Lishui City was afraid of them.
But he is so fierce, yet he hesitates in front of the Marriott Casino. If this matter spreads, the benefits to his own casino will be self-evident!
But Song Zheng followed closely and said to Tongyin Bone Talisman: "Old Yan Ge, please forgive me. I am a low-ranking official and my business is on business."
After he finished speaking, he actually pinched his hand, ending the conversation with Yan Yongchang, and waved his hand: "Search!"
Chang Shun stood next to Song Zheng. When he heard the three words "Yan Yongchang", he couldn't help but tremble. Long Yiwei was indeed arrogant, but he was the real Ge Lao!
Song Zheng didn't buy it and still wanted to rush in. Chang Shun didn't react for a while and moved a step slower: Mr. Ge doesn't give him any face either?!
But Qi Bingchen and the others were old men who followed Song Zheng. They had long seen that the master would not give in, and had secretly made preparations. When Song Zheng gave the order, the two ancestors immediately rushed in. Although the five hundred human monsters behind them were because of
There were no riding beasts in the city, but everyone was as advanced in cultivation as wolves and tigers. They were led by two peak ancestors, and they rushed towards the gambling house in a torrent.
