I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 107 Bring it to justice
Based on Zhu Qi's experience, it is natural to see that these two people have something to do, but his current focus is on investigating the case, and he has no time to take care of these trivial matters. After the subordinate in charge of the autopsy comes out of the mourning hall, he leaves first.

"How is it?" Zhu Qi asked his subordinates in a low voice when he came out of the official's house.

"It's white arsenic. This poison is colorless and odorless. There are white lines on the nails of the deceased, accompanied by obvious signs of hair loss!" The subordinate shook his head and responded.

"It's really interesting, who is going to poison and murder a small official? Use Jinyiwei's intelligence network to find out where he went before he died? Who did he talk to!" Zhu Qi held his chin and thought for a moment After that, the order was issued.

"Yes." The subordinate took the order and left quickly.

……

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the leak of the imperial examination questions soon spread in the court.

In a luxuriously decorated private room, several officials were gathering to drink and discuss the matter.

"Hmph, I see, this Li Chunfang is really a first-class idiot! For that little money, he ruined his good future, not only that, but also implicated his superiors." An official of the Ministry of War said angrily. Put down the wine glass, opened the mouth and said.

"I really don't know how he got the No. [-] Scholar in the exam. Could it be that he secretly stuffed money for the chief examiner?" An official from the Ministry of Officials couldn't help complaining.

"It's okay for you, there are not so many things to deal with, and our criminal department will be in trouble! During this period of time, we have been very busy investigating this case."

"Come, come, don't talk about this, let's drink."

"Come on, cheers!"

"Dry!"

……

In the cabinet, after reviewing the memorial, several cabinet elders also looked embarrassed.

Yan Song sighed, and took the lead to say: "Oh, the recent leak of the exam questions has been widely spread in the court! I don't know what His Majesty will think, will he think that our cabinet is not good for things?"

"In my opinion, there are indeed a lot of people gossiping recently! It's time to shut them up, so as not to interfere with the normal process of handling the case." Xu Jie, who was on the side, also took up the conversation and put forward his own suggestion.

"Well, I also think it's time to shut up these people." Gao Gong also nodded, agreeing.

"What do you think?" After Xu Jie finished speaking, he turned to ask Yan Shifan and Zhang Juzheng beside him.

"Well, I agree!"

"I don't mind either."

"Okay, since everyone agrees, then I will order them later, and they are not allowed to discuss this case any more. If it affects the progress of the case, I will never let you go lightly!" After Xu Jie finished speaking, he poured himself a cup of tea .

"I heard that His Majesty also attaches great importance to this matter, and sent Jin Yiwei Zhu Qi and the others for this." Yan Song suddenly said such a sentence.

"Hey, we have to work harder. By the way, have you found anything?" Xu Jie sighed and turned to ask Yan Song.

"I found some clues. Before that, I sent people to Li Chunfang's house to look for the so-called stolen money, but they found nothing!"

"Later, I went to check at the house of the little official who was in charge of his daily life, only to find that the little official died inexplicably. The progress of the investigation will be reported truthfully.

"Well, I also found out here, but it is still impossible to determine the identity of the person who drank with that little official at that time!" After listening to Yan Song's words, Xu Jie nodded and added.

……

Late at night, Quanzhou Port.

"Hey, look, there is movement in that group of people!"

In recent days, the spies in charge of following this group of businessmen saw this and quickly woke up their sleeping companions.

"Well, what's the matter?" The companion who was awakened was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to get up.

Unexpectedly, he was firmly held down by his companion, and he said in a deep voice: "You idiot, those businessmen have made a movement, are you trying to scare the snake away!"

After being reminded by his companion, the man also quickly reacted and said, "Are you going to report it, or am I going?"

"You go, I will continue to guard here! Pay more attention to the mark I left later."

"Well, okay, pay attention to safety, I will report to the general right now!"

After all, the man disappeared.

"Brother, it's curfew time right now, do you think something will happen if we do this?" Among the group of people dressed as businessmen, a younger person asked.

"You idiot, shut up! This trip is enough to cover the whole family's expenses for a year, do you still want to marry a wife?" Seeing that there was no one around, the leader scolded in a low voice.

"Brother, I still feel..."

"shut up!"

In this way, a group of people hurried to the port with the goods on the carriage.

The wheels of the carriage and the hooves of the horse have been specially treated and wrapped with a layer of silk cloth, which can minimize noise and reduce the probability of being discovered.

What they didn't expect was that there was someone secretly following them all the time, leaving marks along the way.

……

"Report to the general, there is movement over there! The group of people sneaked out of the inn where they lived in the middle of the night, and also transported the goods they brought this time to the port." The spies who had rushed back earlier , so reported to Qi Jiguang.

"Well, good! You will set off with this general later, and bring this group of smugglers who dare to trade with Japanese pirates to justice!" Qi Jiguang ordered after listening to the spies' report in a good mood.

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!" Seeing this, the spies quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude.

"Okay, get up." Qi Jiguang said lightly, turning his eyes away from the spy.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Jiguang called for his own soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "Give me my order, the whole army must be assembled!"

"Yes!"

The assembly horn sounded, and after a while, the soldiers had assembled.

Qi Jiguang didn't say too much, his eyes swept over the soldiers one by one, and he said, "Let's go!"

On the shore, the group of businessmen were looking anxious at this moment, and kept looking into the distance, expecting to see the figure of the ship.

There is still some distance from Quanzhou Port. This is a depression surrounded by dense reeds and various weeds. The location is very hidden, and it is impossible to find it if you don't pay more attention.

"Brother, look over there, a boat is coming!"

Among the group of people, the younger person couldn't help saying excitedly when he saw the figure of the ship appearing in the distance.

"Shut up, keep your voice down, and answer the code." The leader glanced at his younger brother, and then instructed the people beside him.

The people on the side took out candles from their bodies, lit them three times, and then extinguished them three times. After repeating this twice, the ships that were wandering in the sea saw this before they docked.

The people on the boat got down, looked at the leading man, and asked, "Did you bring everything?"

"I brought them all, do you want to take a look first?" The leading man asked the person who came up.

"No need, this is not the first time we do business, remember to send more medicinal materials and raw silk next time, these things are in short supply right now, especially in Japan."

"Well, I see. When I go back, I will vigorously purchase raw silk and medicinal materials! How much do you want?"

"As many as you want."

After the transaction was over, just as the two parties were about to leave, suddenly, countless torches were lit nearby!Qi Jiguang came with a large group of Ming troops and surrounded them.

Qi Jiguang looked at the two groups of people with disdainful eyes, and said with a playful look: "Do you still want to resist?"

"My lord, we are willing to surrender." The person in charge of the transaction among the Japanese pirates smiled wryly when he saw the firecrackers aiming at him all around, and then asked his subordinates to put down the weapons in their hands and stop resisting.

"Take it all away!"

"Yes!"

Qi Jiguang waved his hand violently, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward after hearing the order, arresting all the people present.
