Chapter 70: The big traitor seems to be loyal to Zhao Shouzheng
Among the officials and masters of Shuntian Prefecture, the number of officials ranked seventh and the number of officials ranked last.
Of course, there is no special yamen, only behind the six rooms, there is an independent promotion hall.
At this time, Officer Ni Tui sat behind his big case, looking up and down at Zhao Shouzheng, dressed in a juren, with a concealed face.
"Tell me, what secrets do you have that are unspeakable?"
"Where does the adults start?" Zhao Shouzheng spread his hands and said in a daze: "The student is the plaintiff."
"Hmph, why don't the thief steal the other person and just stare at your Nanzhili sir?" Ni Tui Guan asked coldly: "Is it because you have any holidays? Or did you take something that shouldn't have?"
He took the last six words very seriously, and stared at Zhao Shouzheng, trying to find some clues from his emotional fluctuations - this is a required technique for criminal officials.
Officer Ni believes that as long as the thing is really in the Zhao family, the parents of the Zhao family will definitely know about it.
"Sir, you should ask the thief, why did you ask the student instead? I was also confused..."
However, there was only a deep confusion on Zhao Shouzheng's face, and he did not show any panic.
"The thief will naturally ask. Now I'm asking you. Think about it carefully. What exactly is there for you to worry about?"
"Ah, I remembered this, sir." Zhao Shouzheng slapped his forehead and showed a sudden expression.
"Let me talk!" Ni Tui Guan leaned forward and stared at Zhao Shouzheng with his eyes lit up.
"Money." Zhao Shouzheng replied naturally: "Maybe the students are generous and have provided support for the same year, which makes people think that students must have a lot of money."
"Nonsense..." Ni Tui Guan leaned into the back of the chair in a frustration.
"Why are you talking nonsense?" Zhao Shouzheng asked in confusion: "Aren't the thief theft the money? Oh, yes, there are also flower-picking thieves..."
"Um……"
Officer Ni Tui controlled his emotions that were about to go wild, narrowed his eyes into a line, and touched his neatly trimmed short beards with his hands. He said in his heart that this guy was either a fool who knew nothing or a traitor with excellent psychological quality.
But arresting Zhao Shouzheng was a gamble of luck, so of course Ni Tui Officer would not let him go because he might not know. Instead, he had to find out whether he could find such things from him.
It seems that this is an arduous tug-of-war...
"Don't think that you are a juren, you can be unscrupulous. As long as we conduct the Ministry of Literature and Rites in Mingfu, you can immediately deprive you of your fame and fortune and make you a commoner."
After making psychological construction, Ni Tuiwang decided to scare him first.
"It's not easy to pass the exam at such an age. Is it worth it to go to that point for something that has nothing to do with you?"
"Not worth it." Zhao Shouzheng shook his head. Suddenly he thought of his son's negotiations with the magistrate Zhang of Shangyuan County, and he imitated him with a bitter face and said, "Sir, please offer a price, how much can you let me go."
"What?" Ni Tui Guan was stunned, and then he understood. He also treated him as a quarrel. He couldn't help but slapped the table in anger:
"It's nonsense, who do you think of me as?!"
Zhao Shouzheng shrank his neck, thinking that he was not a good person anyway.
Officer Ni was coaxing and frightening, and he tried everything, but he couldn't tell the reason from his mouth.
This is not because Zhao Shouzheng was so strict with his mouth. Instead, he went to bed obediently the night before, and he had no idea what happened later.
As the saying goes, there is nothing, where can dust be caused? If you ask someone who doesn’t know anything, you will naturally not be able to ask anything.
"Damn it! If you don't want toast, you will be punished!" Ni Tui Grieved his teeth and said, "Don't think you are a juren, you can't deal with you!"
He ordered someone to pass Zhao Shouzheng into the class room and treat him well.
The class room is set up in the yard where the third yamen runners are on duty, and is used to temporarily detain suspects who have not been convicted and have committed minor crimes.
Just like there is a prisoner in the cell, and there are also a class bully in the class room. All suspects who enter must set rules and be bullied by the class bully.
Many times, the class bullies are deliberately placed in the class room to monitor the prisoners and obtain the prisoners’ confessions.
Officer Ni decided to use the class bully to deal with Zhao Shouzheng. These villains don’t care whether you are a juvenile person or not. As long as you have a reward, you will never be ruthless...

The officer was about to take Zhao Shouzheng out of the Promotion Office when he ran into Zhao Hao with Wu Shi.
"Father!" Zhao Hao hurriedly ran to Zhao Shouzheng and said, "They didn't bully you, are they?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Shouzheng grabbed his son's hand tightly and said, "Is my son worried that he is broken?"
Seeing that Zhao Hao was brought by the Shaofu Lord, the servant did not stop the two of them.
"You are waiting here." Wu Shilai had met Zhao Shouzheng. After greeting him, he ordered the officers not to make things difficult for Zhao Hao and his son, so he went into the Promotion Office with a stern face.
~~
Official Ni hurriedly came out of the inner hall to welcome the Lord of Shaofu.
"Brother Ni, Zhao Xiaolian outside is his official brother," Wu Shilai suppressed his anger and asked politely: "What did he do?"
He, the chief of the government, could ask about anything in name, but except for the academic and political system, there was not much authority in other matters about money, food, punishment and reputation.
"Oh, can't this cause the flood to rush into the Dragon King Temple?" Ni Tui said to himself that he was really shocked by the mule. This move was the right one. He said with a look of surprise: "That's great. Please help the Shaofu persuade him to hand over the things early and you can go home."
"What?" Wu Shilai said in a daze: "I'm afraid there is no misunderstanding here?"
"Since the young mansion asked, the official told the truth." Ni Tui said in a low voice: "It is a account in Lu Bing's family. Now we suspect it is in their hands..."
"Hiss..." Wu Shilai took a breath after hearing this.
Who is Lu Bing? The most trusted brother of Emperor Jiajing of the previous dynasty, the only official of the three princes and three orphans in this dynasty, was the leader of the Jinyiwei for more than 20 years!
In the Jiajing Dynasty, it was really a first-class figure who stomped his feet and shook his feet three times in the capital.
Back then, Lu Bing was powerful and rich. Legend has it that his entire family property totaled more than 10 million taels of silver, and he was the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.
But he did too many bad things, and acted as the claw of Emperor Jiajing and persecuted many loyal and kind people. He also monitored King Yu for a long time, which caused a profound psychological shadow to the future Emperor.
Although Lu Bing had passed away a few years ago, Emperor Longqing still had deep resentment towards him. After ascending the throne, he immediately rose up to investigate his sins that year.
As a result, not only did his son, Lu Yi, the commander of the Jinyiwei, his younger brother Taichangqing Lu Wei and others be imprisoned and tortured him strictly, but he also seized all the property of the Lu family in the capital, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
According to Wu Shilai, the case is still under investigation and it is said that Lu Bing's ten major crimes have been excavated. However, the property seized is far lower than the court's expectations...
Against the background that Taicang silver was only enough for three months, the court's hunger for millions of households in the legendary Lu family property can be imagined.
Wu Shilai heard that His Majesty sent people from the East Factory to Zhejiang to recover the stolen goods and locked up more than 300 members of the Lu family in prison. They didn't spit out the transferred property for a day, and they would not let anyone go for a day!
How fatal would the account book that was leaked from the Lu family at this time?
