The golden crow is in front of you, and the sunshine is very warm.

But none of the officials coming and going outside the Quanzhou Prefectural Office had the heart to show off the warm spring sun.

Something big happened in Quanzhou.

Last night, the 18th District of Quanzhou Port Warehouse had a major smuggling case. The most outrageous thing was that the Censor's team led the team to assist in the case was designated as a Japanese spy everywhere, and was arrested on the scene by the Western Factory and shot dead while running away.

These messy things are connected together. If it is not for the push of those who are interested, there are not so many coincidences in the world.

In the huge conference room of the prefect's office, officials of all sizes were all in order, and Chen Tianzheng arrived at the scene early, sitting in the first place, and the cold expression of Ma Qiliang, the first in his left hand, was the same.

Both of them had very serious expressions, which made every official who came to the meeting later so scared that he was not late.

Zhu Wenqi looked a little upset when he came in, with dark circles on his eyes and swollen bags on his eyes, which he could tell that he couldn't sleep all night.

"Master, everyone is here."

Si Zheng of Tongzheng is also a hardcore confidant of Chen Tianzheng, and has finished reporting to Chen Tianzheng.

Chen Tianzheng didn't say anything, just sat in his seat and was silent.

The prefect did not speak, and none of the dozens of people present at the meeting dared to speak in such a solemn atmosphere. The silence lasted for a quarter of an hour.

"Last night, there was a lot of noise in our Quanzhou."

Chen Tianzheng finally spoke, but his voice was hoarse and could be heard. He probably hadn't been asleep all night and became a lot of angry.

"Before today's meeting begins, our government will announce something. In view of the announcement made by the Xichang to our government last night, Zhao Hu, the chief of the Censorship Department, was suspected of colluding with enemy spies. The current Censorship Department was dismissed and handed over to the Censorship Department for review."

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the civil servants who were accompanying him on both sides of the conference room walked out, stepped forward and pressed the constable Censor Si Zheng, and then handcuffed him away.

Before the meeting started, a Si Zheng was already in trouble, which made everyone's hearts smashed a big stone.

There is probably something big about today.

"Zhu Sizheng."

Zhu Wenqi, who was pretending to be mute when he saw Chen Tianzheng's name, was quickly awakened.

"Tell me, what happened last night."

Faced with this instruction, Zhu Wenqi naturally would not refuse. He looked at the notebook in front of him and looked around and said in a deep voice: "Last night, the Business Department received a report that there might be smuggled goods in the 18th District located in Quanzhou Port Warehouse District. So I issued an order, and He Yi, a civil servant in the office of our company, led the investigation and investigation.

Wei Zhun, deputy chief of the Maritime Transportation Department, arrested thirteen cargo warehouses in Area 18, and seized countless goods. After overnight interrogation and verification, all goods in Area 18 had no freight list and no entry procedures, and were smuggled. As for the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce under the name of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, all the goods were unloaded from the shipping vessel owned by the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

These ships were shipped at Port No. 6 on the sixth, nineth, fourteenth, twenty-three, twenty-sixth to twenty-nine last month. All the officials of the shipping department who were on duty at Port No. 6 on those days have been arrested overnight, and they all said that all the things that should be released were ordered by the former Shipping Department Chief."

A stone caused a thousand sensation, and the conference room was in an uproar.

Everyone was furious and rebuked: "Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce is lawless and dared to smuggle and evade taxes. The maritime transportation department is even more bold and reckless, corrupt and abused the law, and let private entry into the customs. The Du Zun, this case should be investigated and sentenced as soon as possible and dealt with severely!"

"No wonder he died suddenly in prison, it turned out that it was because of this."

Ma Qiliang also cursed angrily: "Did he think he could cover this case if he dies? Smuggling and voluntary release, the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce is simply a crazy thief who is arrogant and has to be arrested, and it is clear that the punishment of Zhengdian."

Faced with the verbal condemnation in the entire conference room, Chen Tianzheng did not express his opinion. He waited until everyone stopped saying: "Have you finished scolding? If you finished scolding, then I will say a few words."

"Respect the teachings of the mansion."

Everyone responded, spreading the notebook in front of them one by one, picked up the pen and made a bureaucratic attitude of listening carefully.

"At present, the case of Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce smuggling with the Maritime Transportation Department is a foregone conclusion, so there is nothing to say. Smuggling and tax evasion are state income, which is an extremely bad behavior that endangers national interests.

According to the Ming Dynasty law, any person involved in smuggling, covering up smuggling, and venting private affairs will be severely punished. Now our government orders that the Censor immediately arrest all suspected merchants of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce and interrogate them one by one. One by one, and no bad person can be let go, nor a good person can be wronged."

The chief of the Censorate was removed from his post, and no one responded in the conference room. Fortunately, the Tongzheng Department was still there, so he immediately responded and arranged for someone to inform the Censorate after the meeting.

"The palace is wise."

Everyone expressed their support for Chen Tianzheng's decision, but as for how many they were sincere, they couldn't say it.

Many people even scolded Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce in their hearts.

When Zhu Wenqi found that the accounts were wrong, why didn’t he want to settle the accounts?

It is obvious that things can be settled just by spending money, but it has to be so big that no one can end it now. What's the point of doing!

"The second thing is more bizarre."

Chen Tianzheng glanced around and sneered: "Last night, the Censorate received a notice from the Business Department's Investigation Department and sought help to arrest workers on the 18th District. As a result, Zhao Hu not only determined to provide assistance to the Investigation Department, but also confronted the yamen officers of the Investigation Department, and acted as if he was driving the Investigation Department away.

Who is the protective umbrella behind Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce?

It would be fine if it was just this matter. The special affairs department of the Xichang Factory received a secret report that there were Japanese spies hidden in Quanzhou Port Warehouse. After arriving, he received a bank coupon worth 50,000 taels from Zhao Wu.

Therefore, the special department of the West Factory suspected that Zhao Wu might be a Japanese spy. When he wanted to get the interrogation, Zhao Wu fled and was shot dead."

Finally, Chen Tianzheng slapped the table directly.

"Come on, tell me what this is called! After the operation report of the West Factory was handed over to Nanjing, you will give our mansion an idea, how should we report to the cabinet and His Majesty the mess that happened here! "

The table slapped loudly, and everyone was silent.

"Check it out sooner or later."

As he spoke, Chen Tianzheng stood up and said, "You are very good to put this mansion here. No matter who is involved in these two things, you will never tolerate them when you investigate them."

Seeing Chen Tianzheng leaving in anger, the group of people smiled bitterly, and then their eyes looked at Zhu Wenqi again.

"Zhu Si really can do it. He handled such a great case as soon as he came."

Ma Qiliang laughed and walked to Zhu Wenqi and patted the shoulder of the fear of the latter: "And now, Zhu Si's positive energy is extraordinary. If you want to check the shipping department, someone will immediately go to the Tushima Department to report and report it.

After checking District 18, the people from the West Factory arrived at the scene to put out the fire and killed Zhao Wu, who was suspected to be a Japanese spy. It was really powerful and cruel."

Zhu Wenqi slowly packed up the objects on the table, stood up and looked at Ma Qiliang: "The official is really unaware of what happened during this period. The official was having a feast in the bay last night and drank with Eunuch Dou. This matter can be proved by many people."

After saying that, Zhu Wenqi walked away, but stopped beside Ma Qiliang: "Ma Tongzhi, Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce has been settled this time. I'm going to pull out the radish and bring out the mud. I wonder how many people are going to be unlucky."

"Yeah yeah."

Ma Qiliang was also laughing, unable to see any panic and worry: "I don't know how many people are going to be unlucky, but the unlucky ones are all these unscrupulous businessmen. Who told them to smuggle and evade taxes? It's time!"

"They will speak."

Zhu Wenqi patted the memorial in his hand: "It's like Wei Zhun of the Shipping Department. As long as he is in prison, I promise to take out all the secrets in their stomachs little by little, and I will never tolerate them once I investigate it!"

Looking at Zhu Wenqi's back as he left, a hint of disdain rose to the corner of Ma Qiliang's mouth.
