Chapter 63 Whale Swallow

There are now five people in Zhouji shop, Li Shi, his little apprentice and Mrs. Ru.

Zhou Zheng, Wei Xizhuang.

Wei Xizhuang's embroidered sword was placed on Li Shi's neck with murderous intent on his face.

This old guy Li Shi is so hateful. Wei Xizhuang was really angry. If he hadn't killed anyone, he might have slashed it with one knife.

The little eunuch, the beautiful woman's expression was tense and her whole body was trembling. She was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word.

Who is Wei Xizhuang? Wei Zhongxian’s grandson? If he kills someone, what other huge consequences will he have?

This time, Li Shi was also scared, and felt the chilling blade on his neck, and his mind was full of Zhou Zheng's words just now.

Li Shi forced himself to calm down, glanced at the sharp Xiuchundao blade, looked at Wei Xizhuang, and turned to Zhou Zheng hesitantly. His voice disappeared from the sharp and high-pitched sound he had before, and he said in a low voice: "You have no evidence, don't even slander our family!"

Zhou Zheng took the oil paper bag, took out a account book, pushed it over, and said, "Look, there is something wrong, I'll ask someone to correct it."

Li Shi looked at the word "account book" and his heart thumped. He reached out and opened it, and his face suddenly became ugly. The more he turned, the ugly he looked.

Wei Xizhuang was also glancing. When he saw Gao, Zhou and other names, he felt more confident. The blade exerted force and said coldly: "Old guy, come with me to the imperial prison. This time, I promise you can't get out alive!"

Li Shi's stiff old face twitched for a moment, his eyes moved away from the account book, feeling the coldness around his neck, looking at Zhou Zheng, and said with a gloomy face: "Where did you come from these things?"

These books are detailed records of Li Shi's acceptance of bribes. Among them, the Donglin people who were removed from the list of anti-party cases were all on it, including the most fierce attacks on Keshi and Wei Zhongxian, and the few who Wei Zhongxian had always wanted to kill!

Zhou Zheng's eyes, which had been calm all the time, suddenly became cold, staring at Li Shi and said, "Don't mention turning over the case of a small Shangguan Xun, I will kill you now, and no one will say anything!"

The difficulty of this case lies in Wei Zhongxian. Now that Li Shi has no protection from Wei Zhongxian, it is really easy to kill him with his poor deeds!

The apprentice behind Li Shi was trembling all over and his expression was extremely pale. Li Shi was their backer. If Li Shi died, they would not be far from death.

Li Shi's eyes flashed with fear, and he moved his neck gently, looked at Wei Xizhuang, and a ugly smile appeared on his stiff face, saying, "Young Master Wei, we have no deep hatred, everything is easy to discuss, you can just mention the conditions..."

Wei Xizhuang suffered a great humiliation at Li Shi today. He really wanted to kill this shameless old thief, but he was still calm and knew that killing this old thing would not solve the problem. He turned to look at Zhou Zheng and looked at him.

Li Shi quickly turned around and said anxiously: "Civil Secretary Zhou, I know that Shangguan Xun's case is difficult for you. I can make an iron case and execute Shangguan Xun as soon as possible, so that the Shangguan family can stop complaining, so that you can explain to the emperor..."

Zhou Zheng looked at him coldly and said to the servants in the yard: "Go upstairs to take down the pen and mo."

The clerk was waiting outside the door, still shocked by the turbulent rain of their second young master. Hearing Zhou Zheng's words, he suddenly woke up and said hurriedly, "It's the second young master." He ran into the yard and hurriedly ran to the second floor.

Li Shi didn't know what Zhou was going to do, but he still licked his stiff smile and said tremblingly: "Civil Zhou, I can help your father restore his position and go further. I can also help you grow your business. It's easy to earn 100,000 taels a year..."

The servant quickly came down with the four treasures of the study and wanted to quickly lay it out in front of Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng reached out to stop him and said, "For Eunuch Li, he wants to write."

When Li Shi saw this, his expression changed slightly and said, "What do you want me to write?"

The servants quickly finished the work and quickly retreated back to the yard.

Zhou Zheng looked at Li Shi and smiled and said, "Writing the detailed story of Zhou Qiyuan's case, remember, it is detailed. If what you wrote is different from what I know, the imperial prison."

Li Shi's face suddenly changed, fear flashed across his eyes, and then anger.

The so-called "rebellion case" that occurred in February was caused by Zhou Qiyuan, as Qingliu, a Qingliu, who habitually suppressed Li Shi, the admiral and eunuch. Li Shi was sought, pleased, and bribed. He was unwilling to bear it and wrote an angry letter to impeach Zhou Qiyuan's "forming a clique and plotting a rebellion."

Wei Zhongxian seized this opportunity and raised a prison, arresting more than ten Donglin people, including Zhou Qiyuan, the governor of Yingtian, and the censor Zhou Jianzong, into the custody of the vassal of the vassal. Then he impeached the Donglin bosses such as Gao Panlong, forcing them to resign.

The final result was that Zhou Qiyuan and others were killed, Gao Panlong and others committed suicide, and Donglin's last power was strangled. Wei Zhongxian exclaimed a fierce anger, and the eunuch party was dominant and there was no longer any competition.

Therefore, this "rebellious party case" is essentially a party struggle, triggered by Li Shi's frame-up.

Li Shi looked at the brush and ink in front of him, and his expression was gloomy and changing.

If he wrote this matter out, he would really not be able to turn over. With such a big handle in Zhou Zheng's hands, he would not be able to survive or die!

Zhou Zheng's eyes were cold and he said, "If you don't write, you'll die now!"

Wei Xizhuang pressed the Xiuchundao and tried hard again, and said coldly: "It seems that I will take you to the imperial prison, you, the old guy, will be honest!"

Li Shi's neck oozed, and his whole body trembled violently. He unconsciously stretched out his hand, held the pen, and said unwillingly: "Civil Zhou, I have a lot of money, just..."

Zhou Zheng sneered and said, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me. You either write here or go to the custody prison. After a serious punishment, you can choose it yourself!"

Li Shi was extremely humiliated and dared not, and his face was full of anger and resentment.

But none of these works. Zhou Zheng took his handle and wanted to kill him. He had no need to bear any consequences and had no scruples!

What's more, he knew that he could not resist any torture instruments!

Li Shi looked at Wei Xizhuang, whose murderous intent was still on his face, picked up his pen and started writing tremblingly.

He had to pause even after not writing a few words, his hands were trembling, and he looked up at Zhou Zheng. Seeing his cold expression and his eyes were painful, he continued to write.

Perhaps because I wrote too much, the more I wrote it, the more I wrote it, it was smoother and smoother, and I wrote nearly a thousand words, writing out the causes and consequences of the so-called "rebellion case", especially the frame-making part he led and participated in.

Among them, it also includes the amount of money he robbed by threatening and intimidating Suzhou and Hangzhou merchants.

After a while, Li Shi put down his writing and said expressionlessly: "I'm done."

Zhou Zheng took the paper and looked at it word by word.

I have to say that Li Shi's writing style is still good.

However, the "rebellious party case" still shocked Zhou Zheng. Not only the eunuch party's attack on Donglin, but also the internal strife of Donglin. Some of the things were so dirty that it was unimaginable.

Zhou Zheng frowned and suppressed the disgust in his heart. After reading this paragraph, he fell on Li Shi's wealth accumulation.

Perhaps because of Zhou Zheng's account book, Li Shi explained it very clearly that he had copied many high-ranking officials and wealthy families, and even blackmailed more than 100 wealthy merchants and wealthy businesses in Suzhou and Hangzhou. He obtained more than one million yuan in cash, including gold, silver and jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, fields, manors, yards, shops, etc., and the number was even more amazing!

Zhou Zheng pushed the paper to the right and showed it to Wei Xizhuang.

Wei Xizhuang just glanced at him quickly and laughed angrily, saying, "You old guy, I still underestimate you!"

Li Shi had no expression on his face, as if he had calmed down. He looked at Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang and said lightly: "I have written it and tell me your conditions."

Zhou Zheng turned to look at Wei Xizhuang and said, "The money belongs to you, the shops, the fields, and the yard belongs to me, how about it?"

Wei Xizhuang was stunned and then reacted and said, "You settled this matter, I won't take the credit. This way, I will take 200,000 yuan and save money in the future. The rest will be yours."

Zhou Zheng pondered for a while, suddenly turned to the yard in the shop and said, "Liu Zhe."

Liu Liuzhe naturally knew about such a big noise. He had already come here, but just hid in the yard and didn't dare to come in to disturb him.

After all, Liu Liuzhe was just a book boy in the Zhou family. He had seen only a limited number of scenes. He took the situation in front of him and walked in carefully and whispered: "Second Young Master."

"You go and call Chengjin." Zhou Zhengdao.

Zhou Zheng knew very well his current status. He couldn't afford Li Shi's family business, and even if he forced himself to swallow it, he couldn't hold on.

If you have tooth, you can continuously integrate, digest, and take it back to yourself.

Liu Liuzhe agreed and hurriedly ran out.

Li Shi had already heard that Zhou Zheng and Wei Xizhuang were trying to swallow all his property, and their faces were so ugly.

The little eunuch behind him looked reluctant, but his whole body was cold and he did not dare to say anything.

Zhou Zheng looked at Wei Xizhuang and said, "Start a Yasshop and put Li Shi's property under Yasshop. We are half of each of us."

Wei Xizhuang was stunned. This was not ten or twenty taels, but a huge sum of millions!

Zhou Zhengyun really gave him half without blinking?
