Chapter 32 Let's Die Together

Yukishi looked at Zhang Siwei who was kneeling in front of him with pity. The latter seemed to want to prove something, but his shaking lips finally said nothing.

As an old man who has been in the 40s and has been in the officialdom for so long, Zhang Siwei knows very well what happened. If someone asks about his most secret "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", his family may have been copied to the sky.

Over the years, Zhang Siwei has had a chance to be promoted, but he dared not. On the one hand, he saw the tragic experience of Lu Tong, Tang Kekuan and other military generals being imprisoned, and on the other hand, his private business cannot be put on the table.

Therefore, Zhang Siwei had made various arrangements very early. Everyone understands the principle of cunning rabbits having three holes. Before the time of despair, there may be a chance...

This idea ended when Zhang Siwei saw the lazy young man pushing the door in, and he yawned and showed a gentle smile.

Zhang Siwei, who was kneeling there, was stunned at first, then his face changed drastically, as if his kneecap disappeared suddenly, and he collapsed immediately.

Qian Yuan was not surprised by this. He sought benefits and avoided harm, and was happy to die. This is human nature. Many extremely vicious prisoners would shit and pee when they went to the execution ground.

"A little unexpected, right?"

Although he was very tired, a little hungry, and a little sleepy, Qian Yuan was very interested. After several months of planning and various unexpected changes, the matter would end in the most perfect way.

However, there is still a small problem now.

"The Zhang family was raided, of course you already know this." Qian Yuan pulled up the hem of his clothes, squatted down and said calmly: "What you don't know is... all the houses in Hangzhou City have been raided, and people have been sent to your hometown Ningbo."

Zhang Siwei raised his head suddenly, frightened to death, and took three steps back, but Qian Yuan, who was squatting there, remained motionless and nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, you guessed it right." Qian Yuan continued: "Your son left behind in the outer house... now understand?"

"Jin Hong..." Zhang Siwei growled softly.

Jin Hong was a disciple of Zhang Siwei a few years ago. He managed various businesses for the Zhang family. He knew the shadow of the store deposits in shops in various places and the cellars sent to the Zhang family's cellar. Even those watermelon silver weighing only a thousand taels were created by the workshops under Jin Hong's name.

The only one who knows that he has all his retreat is Jin Hong. The illegitimate son was originally planning to take him into his house and put him in Jin Hong's daughter's name.

"Jin Hong, Jin Hong!"

The voice was getting lower and lower, but it was getting more and more resentful... Zhang Siwei had long guessed that Jin Hong had betrayed him, but he didn't expect Jin Hong to do so amazingly.

Below is a deep valley of 1,000 meters. The foot is on the thin vine line that can only bear the weight of one person. The person who was kicked down will not hate who threw himself on the vine line. He will only hate the companion who kicked him down.

Qian Yuan looked at this scene with satisfaction and handed over the two confessions he had prepared, "Can you please read?"

Yukishi, who watched coldly, couldn't help but have a cold war. He already knew exactly what the gentle scholar Songjiang was trying to do.

After looking closely for a while, Zhang Siwei, with a blank look, knocked her head hard in front of Qian Yuan, "This is not true... it is not me... it is not me..."

"Not you?" Qian Yuan curled up the corners of his mouth and asked curiously: "Who is that?"

"It's Jin Hong... and his son Jin Liqun, they did it!" Zhang Siwei said incoherently: "It's them who asked me to contact..."

"Contact Japanese pirates?"

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Siwei nodded repeatedly, "It was also the words that Jin Hong discovered the secret recipe and later got drunk at the banquet..."

Qian Yuan stood up and beat his knees with a little soreness and said casually: "Each person has his own opinions, no evidence."

After looking around, Qian Yuan poured himself a cup of cold tea, "But it was Jin Hong's first report, and he and his eldest son Jin Liqun wrote the confession... Lord Zhongcheng has read it, by the way, Mr. Xing, how did you say it?"

Xushi rolled his eyes and thought to himself that this guy is really interested. Didn’t he just tell you in the afternoon... The sir said you are making a fool of yourself.

"Actually, it is admirable that President Zhang's decisive behavior is decisive." Qian Yuan sighed, "If you send the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" one day in advance, and then spend a lot of money to deal with it, and then take a knife to lead the army to kill a few groups of Japanese pirates, 80% of this matter will not be overturned."

When he glanced at Xing from the corner of his eyes, Qian Yuan emphasized and said, "I didn't know that "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was in your hands in advance."

Zhang Siwei's eyes were motionless. After being detained, he had thought of giving away such a treasure in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", but the problem was that he was not sure what was going on in the outside world with the news.

Three days ago, Qiushi had talked with Zhang Siwei and announced that Ligang had turned into scorched earth, Wang Zhizhe rushed to the sea east, and the remaining Japanese pirates were robbed everywhere... The implication was that you had to commit crimes and make meritorious contributions. Even Qiushi pointed out Zhang Siwei's future boss, Li Wenshi, deputy envoy of the sea route who had a tacit understanding with the sea merchants.

So Zhang Siwei was relieved. He was about to come out and then take care of the situation.

But after dusk today, Zhang Siwei found that there were more guards at the door. He knew that something must have happened, so he hurriedly asked to see the governor or be lucky... Unfortunately, the ownership of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is no longer in his hands.

Zhang Siwei pulled her hair in pain, only a little bit, a little bit...

Fortunately, who knew everything, shook his head slightly. In his opinion, when Qian Yuan held the Jin family in his hand, Zhang Siwei's fate was unchangeable.

When Ligang was destroyed and Wang Zhi was spared only. When the Japanese pirates were still robbing everywhere, Zhang Siwei, who had a wealthy family, became a fat sheep in broad daylight... Just like a boy who raised gold to pass the market, it was impossible not to attract people to covet it.

"Did you understand?" Qian Yuan yawned again and said slowly: "The Ming army was unable to control the general Zhang Siwei's eyes and colluded with Japanese pirates to seek money and killed him... Mr. Xun, how should he be sentenced?"

"The family property is confiscated, and the person and his family..." Yukishi hesitated for a while, "It's not easy to say."

"If you are sentenced to abandon the market, you have to go to the Ministry of Justice in the Capital for review. Maybe the Jinyiwei of Dali Temple will get involved." Qian Yuan curled his lips, "It would be better to be sentenced to be exiled."

You are so idle that you have nothing to do, and you have nothing to say... Yukishi sighed and stood up and said, "Since you have asked clearly, then go back, it's almost time."

"Okay, Mr. Xing is a busy man... Well, I'm sleepy, too." Qian Yuan slowly said the most important sentence today with his eyes slanted.

"Jin Hong's first announcement, so I have promised him... I will not pursue the Jin family. Lord Zhongcheng and Mr. Xing also know about this."

Qiushi, who knew what Qian Yuan wanted to do, nodded helplessly to Zhang Siwei who was looking over to admit it.

Zhang Siwei looked at Yue Shi and Qian Yuan out in amazement. When he jumped up and rushed towards the door in anger, the two soldiers who pressed the handle of the knife blocked him in the room.
