Chapter 358
Zhu Qizhen's face was dark, and his gloomy eyes seemed to kill people.

It's fine if it's an ordinary case, but this Niu Dabao has important information about the traitor in his hands. As the magistrate, he didn't realize it, and let the real culprit go away for a few hundred taels of silver. It's really unreasonable!

Mahler Gobi, could it be that I haven't killed many people recently, so I forgot my identity as a tyrant of the orthodox emperor?

"Ningbo Mansion Zhang Chun!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

Zhang Chun trembled in fright, and immediately knelt down, bowing his head low.

Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "I'm giving you one last chance, how did Niu Dabao die?"

"Yes, it is...the shipyard..."

"I warn you!"

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him, and said coldly: "The job is right outside the door, and there must be other clues to investigate this case. If you don't tell the truth, I will punish you!"

"I, I... Your Majesty, please spare me!"

Zhang Chun couldn't bear it anymore, lay on the ground and howled.

"Say, what's going on?"

"My minister is convicted...convicted!"

Zhang Chun couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to tell the whole story of the whole incident at that time.

In fact, he didn't know at all whether Niu Dabao's death was caused by a knife wound, fists, kicks, or sticks.

Because he doesn't care!
He's just a gangster, so there's no need to alarm the magistrate?
Ma Duan saw this right, and settled the matter with only 500 taels of silver.

After Zhang Chun received the money, he thought of the group of people in the shipyard who came to Ningbo with their defiant looks, and felt resentful in his heart.

Just taking advantage of this case to pour dirty water on the shipyard, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone!
Whoever imagined it, in the end, he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot. This is really his own fault.

However, he still can't figure out why the emperor cares so much about this case?

Isn't it just a bastard who died, as for...

Zhu Qizhen didn't look like he was lying, it seemed that this guy was just a fool who was being used by others.

"Zhang Chun listens to the order!"

Zhang Chun quickly bowed respectfully and bowed down: "My humble minister respectfully welcomes the imperial decree!"

Zhu Qizhen said in a deep voice: "Ningbo Magistrate Zhang Chun accepted bribes, judged the case unfairly, and intentionally slandered others. He is now removed from the post of Ningbo Magistrate and handed over to Jin Yiwei for investigation."

After hearing this, Zhang Chun rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.

Yuan Bin squatted down, checked his breathing, felt his pulse, and said, "It's just that I fainted from fright, nothing serious."

Zhu Qizhen curled his lips, and said in a disdainful tone: "How did such a psychological quality get into the position of magistrate? After you go down, send the chief envoy of Zhejiang and the officials related to Zhang Chun, especially those who recommended him back then. His, check them all!"

Yuan Bin replied: "Yes!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked: "Is there any important clue from Wu Zuo?"

Yuan Bin shook his head, and said: "He only knew that Niu Dabao was killed with a knife, but Zhang Chun asked him to write that he was beaten and died of serious injuries, so he had to do so, and he didn't know anything else."

"Are there no other clues about this person?"

"Go back to the emperor, I will continue to investigate, and I should be able to find some clues."

"Go, if you have any news, come and tell Yu Zhen immediately."

"Yes!"
-
"Is there anyone, is there anyone?"

In the dark cave, Wynn continued to grope.

He is now in the mountain of Zhongshan, there is no light around him, so he can only keep exploring.

The cave was dark, and he didn't know how long it had passed. Finally, he followed the water and found an exit.

This place was originally an underground underground river. During the dry season, the river flows from below and cannot be seen from above.

Fortunately, there has been a lot of rain recently and the river has swelled. Wynn followed the direction of the river and found a hole that was not much bigger than a dog hole, and it was bright from a long distance away.

Overjoyed in his heart, he quickly came to the entrance of the cave and looked around, but there was a cliff outside!
Perhaps it was because he had been in the dark for a long time, and his desire for light did not allow him to return to the cave.

So, Wynn gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped into the water.

Pfft!
There is a huge pool below. Wynn's water skills are not proficient, so he swam to the shore with his teeth and claws, and he was relieved.

In summer, the sun was scorching hot, and his clothes got wet, but he didn't care. He found a small road along the river and came to a town near the river.

It shouldn't be too far from Nanjing City, but...the people under his command are not around, and he has no money, what should he do?
Really can't... let's go!
Wynn made up his mind and was about to ask someone for directions, when he heard two merchant-like people talking in a low voice at a food stall by the side of the road.

"Did you see the emperor? I don't believe it, it must be bragging!"

"Really, that day, the emperor walked on that road by the river, I could see it clearly."

"He is the emperor, so he must sit in the cart. How did you see it?"

"The emperor didn't take a car, but rode away."

"Strange, why do you want to ride a horse..."

The two were chatting, Wynn came over and asked, "Excuse me, did the two talk about the emperor just now?"

One of them looked at him and said, "Yes, we just said that the emperor is very majestic when riding a horse!"

"The emperor... where did he go?"

"It is said that he went to Ningbo Mansion. It seems that there is some case."

"Thank you!"

"Hey……"

The man stopped him suddenly, then looked him up and down, and asked, "Look at your clothes, have you read?"

Wynn was taken aback for a moment, and then replied casually, "I've read some!"

The man asked again: "Where is Xiongtai?"

Wynn was about to leave, so he shook his head, meaning there was no work.

But the man came forward, took Wynn's hand, and said: "We are from Caoji Shipping Company. This year's cargo volume has almost doubled. However, we have not enough manpower here. If you are willing to come to the shipping company, brother Mr. Accountant, give Mr. seven taels of silver... no, eight taels of silver every month!"

Wynn didn't bother to pay attention to him, clasped his fists in salute, turned around and left.

"Brother, don't go!"

The other party thought that he thought he had given too little, so he said: "Our accountant also has to go with the ship. When he arrives, he has to unload the goods and check the accounts. I won't let you work in vain. Every time I leave the ship, I will send you an extra one." A subsidy of two silver coins!"

Wynn thought to himself, I'll give your grandma a trick!
What is my identity, how can I be here to accompany you to talk nonsense?
The man only thought that Wynn was too small, so he said again: "For example, today's boat is going to Ningbo. After the boat enters the port, you are only responsible for counting the goods. After the steward on board has received the goods, you will count them again." One side, and then came back, probably in about ten days, how about it, think about it?"

Wynn suddenly became interested and asked, "you said just now You have a boat to Ningbo?"
