Dong Chengwu and Xu De were writing memorials for Zhu Yijun, and Zhao Lian’s people were almost arrested. It was not that Zhao Lian really needed to arrest so many people, but that he needed to summarize a piece of information.

This is a major case of treason for treason. Such a case must be done well, and it is impossible not to grasp the actual situation.

The massive interrogation began. Zhao Lian started the interrogation from the outside. He sorted out two lines, one was Fushou Paste and the other was Tongwu. We should not forget about Fushou Paste because of Tongwu. It was a big case of assassinating the emperor.

If you forget this case, it will be useless no matter how beautiful the case is handled.

After being an official for so many years and doing so well, Zhao Lian knows one thing well, that is, he can't help but be exhausted and has no effect. Being able to do things is one aspect, and more importantly, he is to understand the boss's intentions.

The emperor must be more concerned about the assassination case. The case of communication with the Japanese is not a rare case, and it has been fewer in recent years?

The emperor took a look and probably let it go. It was just a matter of communicating with the Japanese case. What's the big deal? But the assassination case is different. This involves the assassination of the emperor. How can the emperor not care about it? How can he not pay attention?

Never be confused by appearances, you must stare at the essence directly.

The Fushou Paste case is the main one and the Japanese case is the auxiliary one. The Fushou Paste case is handled beautifully, and the icing on the cake of the Japanese case is added to the icing on the cake. I will naturally fall into the emperor's eyes. By then, the success of the country is not just around the corner.

So Zhao Lian divided the merchants involved with the Zhen family into two categories, one was to sell Fushou cream for the Zhen family, and the other was to communicate with the Zhen family. Of course, many of them were occupied by both categories, but Zhao Lian clearly divided them.

The first thing he wanted to investigate was the Fushou Paste case. The arrest of the person was almost done, and the rest was the trial.

Behind the second hall of the governor's yamen, Xu De held a tea cup and drank tea. Beside him, Dong Chengwu looked at the second hall absent-mindedly. Seeing Xu De's look as if he was old and godly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Eunuch Xu, is this a little too much?" Dong Chengwu couldn't help but speak.

Listening to the screams from the second hall of the Governor's Yamen, Xu De's expression remained unchanged at all, and he said lightly: "Some people are itchy. If you don't hit him, you won't tell the truth, as if he can hide it if he doesn't say it."

"Mr. Zhao is being tried. If Governor Dong feels it is inappropriate, he can go over and listen!"

Dong Chengwu smiled bitterly again. Zhao Lian did not arrest anyone, but started the trial and borrowed the second hall of the Governor's yamen from himself to the trial. From that time on, the screams of the second hall of the Governor's yamen never stopped.

Several doctors lined up there to treat the wounds and prevented them from dying.

Dong Chengwu screamed in pain these two days, just like a magical sound. He couldn't sleep well at night, and his mind was full of screams. Xu De turned a blind eye to this, and Zhao Lian seemed to have no feelings at all, repeating the process of interrogation, interrogation and re-interrogation like an iron man.

It was a little better at the beginning, and I asked one by one, but when the testimony of the two people could not meet, Zhao Lian's anger pattern began.

Dong Chengwu really didn't know how to persuade Zhao Lian. First, he had no jurisdiction, which was a case that the emperor appointed, and secondly, these people did not tell the truth. The testimony of the two people was different, so naturally someone lied.

After only five days of surprise interrogation, Zhao Lian finally sorted out all the clues and evidence of the Fushou Paste case and threaded it into a line.

Dong Chengwu and Xu De looked at Zhao Lian walking in. Although they were covered in blood, Zhao Lian was still in good spirits, especially the bright eyes in his eyes, which made people dare not look at him. Perhaps because he had been too many times these days, Zhao Lian was full of evil spirits.

"Is this done by Lord Zhao?" Xu De looked at Zhao Lian and asked with a smile.

Zhao Lian nodded: "I have sorted out all the clues and evidence of the Fushou Paste case. The cause of the incident was the Zhen family. At that time, the Zhen family was not the largest maritime merchant in Fujian, but during the Jiajing period, the Zhen family got Fushou Paste."

"The Zhen family presented Fushou Paste to the palace, which greatly increased the value of Fushou Paste."

"The Zhen family also bribed officials through Fushou Paste, expanded their channels, suppressed and attracted other merchants everywhere, helped the Zhen family sell Fushou Paste together, and also embezzled other merchants' industries."

"After so many years of development, the Zhen family has become what it is now."

After hearing Zhao Lian's words, Xu De said sarcastically in his tone: "I am really determined and do things that harm people from generation to generation."

Zhao Lian did not take Xu De's words, but continued: "I interrogated the others from the Zhen family and obtained confessions from them. The Zhen family's longevity cream came from overseas merchant ships."

"Basically, the goods are shipped at night, and then the merchant ship docks and unloads the goods."

"The people who received the goods were all Zhen Zhijing's confidants, but they were not familiar with the people on the ship. They just gave the token, and then both parties delivered the goods." At this point, Zhao Lian paused for a moment before continuing: "The next exchange will be three days later."

As he said that, Zhao Lian took out a semicircular jade pendant: "This is the token of the Zhen family's acceptance of the goods."

Xu De and Dong Chengwu were not stupid. Of course they knew what Zhao Lian meant. They were planning to pretend to be the Zhen family to pick up the goods, and then they caught all the ship and people. No matter who the other party was, they couldn't escape this time.

"They probably have received the news long ago when Fuzhou made such a big noise."

Xu De said lightly: "But it's still worth a bet. If you come, you will catch people. If you don't come, you will be a training soldier." As he said that, he turned to look at Dong Chengwu. He, the governor of Fujian, had to take action on this matter.

Although Zhao Lian and Xu De were imperial envoys, they still couldn't do this.

Seeing the two of them looking at him at the same time, Dong Chengwu smiled and said, "I am naturally responsible, so I will make arrangements!"

When Dong Chengwu left, Xu De looked at Dong Chengwu and said, "Mr. Zhao, has Zhen Zhijing interrogated it?"

"Not yet!" Zhao Lian shook his head and said, "I want to wait until the case of communication with the Japanese and the assassination case are summed up and interrogating Zhen Zhijing."

Xu De shook his head: "Just now and ask him about picking up the boat. This is a big deal. We cannot take risks. Once there is a mistake and let the boat run away, we will make a big mistake."

Zhao Lian immediately understood: "What my father-in-law said is very true. I will go and interrogate Zhen Zhijing, do you want to go with me?"

Nodding, Xu De stood up: "Let's go together too!"

Seeing Xu De's behavior, Zhao Lian couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Old guy, you are here at this time, why didn't you come before?"

But this can only be cursed in my heart and cannot be said.

For Zhen Zhijing, the days have been hard to bear these days. After so many years of life of luxury, how could Zhen Zhijing suffer such a life? In just a few days, people have become a little dissatisfied.

When Zhao Lian and Xu De met him, Zhen Zhijing seemed to be stupid and asked to do whatever she wanted.

"Zhen Zhijing!" Zhao Lian slapped the arson and said loudly.

Zhen Zhijing raised her head, looked at Zhao Lian, then looked at Xu De, then lowered her head, without any intention of speaking. Nothing more than being sad than death. This time, Zhen Zhijing knew that she was finished and the Zhen family was finished.

Zhao Lian was about to call someone to use torture, but Xu De waved his hand and interrupted him. It was actually not a good thing to use torture Zhen Zhijing.

Once the attack is injured and the attack is ruined, it will become very troublesome. After a glance at Zhen Zhijing, Xu De said lightly: "Zhen Zhijing, aren't you curious? It's just a case of communication with the Japanese, why did our family appear here?"

"Our family is the eunuch Bingbi of the Silijian. Do you know what this means?"

He looked up at Xu De. He didn't see Xu De just now. His mind suddenly started to turn around. The eunuch of Sili Jian Bingbi here is definitely not for the purpose of communicating with the Japanese case. Even if the communicating with the Japanese case is a major case, the eunuch of Sili Jian Bingbi is not required to come here in person.

The eunuchs who were the emperor's close attendants, and the emperor's absolute new eunuchs.

"Why?" Zhen Zhijing said in a hoarse voice.

Seeing Zhen Zhijing speak, Xu De smiled and said with a light smile: "Because of the Zhen family's rebellion case." As Xu De said that, he stared at Zhen Zhijing, and instantly became excited when he saw him, and suddenly rushed from the ground, but was directly pressed by the people behind him.

"I don't, I don't, the Zhen family has not rebelled!" Zhen Zhijing said loudly.

Xu De glanced at Zhen Zhijing and said with a smile: "The Zhen family invited someone to offer Fushou Paste to the Emperor. This Fushou Paste is a poisonous substance, and intends to poison the Emperor. Isn't this a rebellion? It's all light to kill the Yi tribe."

After hearing Xu De's words, Zhen Zhijing was shocked and hurriedly said, "Dadfather-in-law, the Zhen family has not rebelled, there is no rebellion!"

Zhen Zhijing begged while kowtowing, "Fu Shou Paste can be addicted, but it will not kill and is not poisonous! Fu Shou Paste can make people feel pain and can make people ascend to immortality!"

"We present the blessing and longevity cream to Your Majesty, to please Your Majesty. My father-in-law will be careful!"

"Although my Zhen family is connected to the Japanese, it is just a business. How dare I murder the emperor?" As he said, Zhen Zhijing knelt forward and crawled forward a few steps: "Please be careful!"

Although it is a serious crime to communicate with the Japanese, if there is someone to protect it, there will be no turning point. Zhen Zhijing has something to protect it. Maybe he can't survive and the Zhen family will be finished, but it will never be executed. The Zhen family will not be killed. As long as there is someone there, there will be a chance to turn the tables.

But now it’s different. Once the Zhen family is convicted of treason, no one dares to speak for themselves.

Xu De stood up straight and said lightly: "Whether this is the case, it depends on the truth." After that, Xu De walked back to his seat and said: "Your cooperation, otherwise I may not be able to find out."

Zhen Zhijing hurriedly said, "The villain is willing to cooperate, and he is willing to cooperate!"

After looking at Xu De, Zhao Lian sighed in his heart. He was still not good at interrogation, so he still had to learn. After clearing his throat, Zhao Lian said, "Then let's talk about the origin of Fushou Paste!"

Zhen Zhijing didn't dare to hide it at this time, and told the origin of Fushou Paste like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"The coastal tribes do more maritime trade, but what they do is similar. They basically sell the products of the Ming Dynasty. Those barbarians give us silver."

"There are many barbarians who trade with us, including Franchise people, Japanese people, and people who run boats outside ourselves."

"This blessing and longevity cream belongs to the Red Barbarians." Zhen Zhijing said, "Originally, we had nothing to do with the Red Barbarians. Most of the business was done with the Franji people. Later, the Red Barbarians came, and they seemed to have fought with the Franji people several times."

"I don't know the specific situation, but I know that the Red Barbarians also came to do business later, and the Franjiren should have lost."

Xu De and Zhao Lian looked at each other, of course they lost the fight, otherwise how could Franjiman give up here?

Zhen Zhijing continued: "We don't care whether they are Franji people or red barbarians. As long as they have money, there is no problem at the beginning. Let's ship the goods and they pay the money."

"But once the red barbarians took out the longevity cream and wanted to exchange goods with us."

"At that time, we didn't know what it was, but they said it was Wuxiang produced in Java. When Java paid tribute, it was like the emperor who offered Wuxiang. We thought it was a good thing, so we bought a little and sold it."

Zhen Zhijing cried and said, "We didn't know that this thing could be addicted to it at first, but everyone liked him and the sales were also very good."

"Slowly, the business grew bigger, and the reputation of Fushou Paste was also spread. Some people presented Fushou Paste to Emperor Shizong. Emperor Shizong also liked it very much, and then the reputation of Fushou Paste became even greater and the sales volume was better."

Zhen Zhijing said here and sighed: "But accidentally we discovered that Fushou Paste can make people addicted, and the consequences are very terrible if they cannot be absorbed. But it was too late at that time, and Emperor Shizong was already using it."

"If this is spread, our Zhen family will not be killed by the whole family!"

In fact, Xu De knew that at that time, not only the guards in various places were the vain, but also the ministers and generals, all tried their best to collect various medicinal materials and put them into the palace. It was not surprising that Fushou Paste could enter the palace.

"After the first emperor ascended the throne, he drove out all the alchemists in the palace, and the blessing and longevity cream is no longer needed. Why do you still have to offer it to the palace this time?" Xu De looked at Zhen Zhijing and said loudly.

Zhen Zhijing hesitated for a while before saying, "Dadfather-in-law, I'm forced to do anything too!"

"This is not the idea of ​​the little people, it is the idea of ​​those Japanese pirates." At this point, Zhen Zhijing said loudly: "It was they who forced me and they asked me to present the blessing and longevity cream to the emperor."

"But although this Fushou cream is addictive, it is not fatal!" Zhen Zhijing said loudly: "The villain must never dare to assassinate the emperor, my father-in-law will be careful!"

Zhao Lian and Xu De both became serious. The Japanese pirates were ambitions and the Zhen family helped the evildoers to abuse them. They probably wouldn't have a good end. After a glance at each other, Zhao Lian continued to ask: "Will there be a ship to give you good fortune cream in three days?"
