No matter what, Chen Zhenglin never thought that he would be kidnapped.

Who are these people? They are so brave and dare to kidnap court officials? And they are in Yangzhou, in the city!

Chen Zhenglin was a little panicked and didn't know what these people wanted to do.

Although I don’t know who the other party is, if you dare to kidnap yourself in Yangzhou City, the other party is definitely not an ordinary person. Ordinary people don’t have the courage to do such things. Those who dare to do such things will put their heads on their belts.

If you are not careful, your life will be gone.

Although he forced himself to calm down, Chen Zhenglin was still a little panicked.

Looking at Chen Zhenglin who was brought back, Xu Xianchun's face did not change at all.

The entire plan was formulated by him, and now the plan is just going according to normal.

Turning his head and looking at his subordinates, Xu Xianchun asked, "Nothing went wrong, right?"

"Sir, no." The subordinate shook his head and said, "Everything went smoothly. Our people first found a carriage and hit his sedan chair, and then all the people around him surrounded him, grabbed the people and stuffed them into the carriage. The sedan chair was still bent outside, and then they would carry it to another place. The people carrying the sedan chairs have now been arranged."

After hearing this, Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "No, things are done well. This time, I will write down your credits and ask you for rewards after you look back."

"Thank you, sir." The people around him thanked quickly, with bright smiles on their faces.

Chen Zhenglin also came to his senses at this time. He knew that he was an official when he heard the other party’s name.

This made Chen Zhenglin relieved himself. Since he was an official, it would be great, but he didn't know why the other party wanted to tie him up.

Could these people be rebelled?

After this idea appeared, Chen Zhenglin shivered, don’t you?

"Who are you?" Chen Zhenglin looked at Xu Xianchun and others with a calm face, and said loudly: "You actually dare to kidnap me here. Do you know who I am? I am Chen Zhenglin, the Yangzhou Transport Author!

Xu Xianchun glanced at Chen Zhenglin and said in an impatient tone: "What are you shouting? What are you shouting? What are you shouting?"

"I know you are Chen Zhenglin, the transshipment commander of Yangzhou. If you were not Chen Zhenglin, the transshipment commander of Yangzhou, we would not have arrested you."

After saying that, Xu Xianchun sat on the chair he brought with him, looking disdainful.

After hearing this, Chen Zhenglin's face sank.

That's right, the other party came for him.

"Which yamen are you? You actually dare to kidnap the imperial officials. Do you know what the charge is?"

"Tell you, this is a crime of rebellion, and you'd better confess your guilt. Otherwise, no matter which yamen you are from, you will not be able to escape!"

"The imperial court's official?" Xu Xianchun said with a sarcastic tone: "Look, who is not the imperial court's official here?"

"Okay, there's no need to say nonsense, you don't have to test us. Now I'll tell you who we are." After Xu Xianchun finished speaking, he took off his waist card from his waist and said to Chen Zhenglin: "Did you see it?"

Jinyiwei North Government Department.

Looking at the big words above, Chen Zhenglin's pupils shrank slightly and his face looked very ugly, "Are you from the Jinyiwei?"

"That's right." Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "I will introduce myself. I am the commander of the Northern Punishment Department. This time I brought you here, I was the imperial edict of Your Majesty. So what else do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty's imperial edict? Your Majesty's imperial edict cannot be detained in private!" Chen Zhenglin said.

He seemed to have a sudden confidence, and his tone became much tougher.

Xu Xianchun didn't care either. He had seen many such people.

When they were still in the rules, they felt that they had various privileges. But it didn't matter. Soon they realized that even in the rules, they did not have any special rights.

"I want to see Your Majesty! Your Majesty can't do this!" Chen Zhenglin said with his neck tightly.

Xu Xianchun shook his head, sat back on the chair and said, "Okay, what's the name? You think your Majesty can't think of anything you can think of?"

"Your Majesty is extremely wise now, so he naturally would not do such a thing. But sometimes he has to do it. Corrupt officials like you should not yell here."

"Nonsense!" Chen Zhenglin said with his neck tampered, "I, Chen Zhenglin, was an official in Yangzhou and had never embezzled a tael of silver. If I had embezzled a tael of silver, I would never die a bad death!"

"Yes, you have never embezzled a tael of silver." Looking at Chen Zhenglin's righteous look, Xu Xianchun said with a strong sarcasm in his tone: "It's really shameless."

"I'll be too lazy to talk nonsense to you. You can take a look at these things." After saying that, Xu Xianchun threw the booklet in his hand on the table and said, "I've finished reading it, let's talk about it."

Chen Zhenglin didn't know what the other party threw at him, but he picked it up and looked at it quickly.

After looking through it, Chen Zhenglin's face changed.

This is actually an account book, the account book of a person named Zhao Wuji.

Of course, Chen Zhenglin knew Zhao Wuji. The big salt merchant in Yangzhou had also had many interactions with Zhao Wuji.

Chen Zhenglin was surprised that this account book recorded evidence that Zhao Wuji bribed him. He gave him something because of something in a certain year, month and time. This can be said to be clearly recorded.

In addition, it also describes what he did for Zao Woo-Ki. There are even several cases where he helped Zao Woo-Ki overturn the case, and there are evidence that he helped bribe other officials.

Chen Zhenglin didn't know how the Jinyiwei got this evidence, but he knew that he could not push out the evidence at all. Once it was investigated, these things would be done and could kill his own life.

But what should he do about the current problem? Should he not admit it? Or should he plead guilty?

If you don’t admit that you can keep your reputation, even if you find something, you will frame it. The Jinyiwei has no choice but to use his reputation, and people outside will not believe it.

If you confess your guilt, then your reputation will be gone, and you don’t know if your life can be preserved.

Chen Zhenglin looked up at Xu Xianchun thoughtfully and said, "What a mess, I don't know what this is."

"Okay, stop pretending. This time it is a major case that Your Majesty has appointed. We dare to arrest you, so we know it. You should stop making these unnecessary struggles."

"You can push these things out. Can you push out the seventeen women in your house? They are all Yangzhou skinny horses given to you by various salt merchants."

When he said this, Xu Xianchun spoke in a very sarcastic tone. He continued, "As long as I catch these seventeen women, I can't find out what I have? You'd better cooperate well, otherwise the fate will be very, very miserable."

Chen Zhenglin sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, I guessed it right. This was a major case that the emperor appointed. I knew that after the emperor arrived in Nanjing, he would never do nothing.

There are actually people who are lucky enough to think about it now.

But Chen Zhenglin never expected that the emperor's case started with him. But it is understandable. After all, the money bags of the court are in charge of these imperial courts, and salt is money. Touching oneself is equivalent to touching money.

Chen Zhenglin looked up at Xu Xianchun and said, "If I cooperate well, can I save my life?"

"Are you negotiating terms?" Xu Xianchun said in a soft tone: "If you continue to talk, the whole family will be executed. Do you really think anyone can negotiate terms? In this world, everyone really wants to show their faces, but this face is not that good."

Chen Zhenglin shivered, looked up at Xu Xianchun and said, "Thank you, Lord Xu."

Chen Zhenglin understood what Xu Xianchun meant, and Xu Xianchun was helping him.

If this sentence is heard by Your Majesty, it will become a person who threatens Your Majesty. There is absolutely no benefit to threaten Your Majesty. Your Majesty will never compromise, and you will never let your family go.

What I can do now is to admit my guilt obediently and strive for His Majesty's leniency with a good attitude and performance. This is also a way Xu Xianchun pointed out to himself.

After understanding these, Chen Zhenglin said directly: "Mr. Xu, what do you want to ask? The offender must know everything and say everything."

Hearing Chen Zhenglin claiming to be a criminal, Xu Xianchun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's start with these accounts."

After saying that, Xu Xianchun moved out a small box from behind and placed it on the table.

"There are nine books in total, all about you. Let's explain it clearly one by one."

"Apart from that, who else gave you gifts? What did you give? You can explain them all clearly. Just tell these things orally, and someone will record them next to you, and you can sign and seal them."

"Yes, sir." Chen Zhenglin agreed.

At this point, things have come to this point, they are nothing more than just holding on or confessing directly.

Chen Zhenglin was able to sit in this position and he was very clear in his mind. He quickly made a choice and did not resist at all. He said everything Xu Xianchun wanted to know, just like pouring beans on a bamboo tube.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao also got up, washed up and was having breakfast.

Wei Chao was serving by his side, and gently placed a meal on the table, saying, "Emperor, Huang Changzong from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here, and people are waiting outside."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Let him come in."

"Yes, the emperor." Wei Chao said respectfully, turned around and walked out.

It didn't take long for a while, a fat man walked in from outside, wiping his sweat while walking.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, the fat man hurriedly bowed and said, "My minister Huang Changzong, please see Your Majesty."

Looking at Huang Changzong's clumsy appearance, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Okay, please don't have any gifts!"
