Half an hour later, Yoshihara Aoi came back with a thick stack of documents, put them on the table and said:
"Sir, these were found at Shota Uenohara's house."
Uenohara Shota's vest was already wet with sweat, and he said with a fierce expression:
"Uchiha Tunan, I advise you not to look at it.
Some things are too serious and are not good for anyone. "
"I understand the truth.
Why do people have two eyes?
Just to turn a blind eye to some things. "
Uchiha Tunan flipped through these records, then looked at the people in the quagmire and said:
"These are the reasons why you dare not report him, right?"
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
Uchiha Tunan chuckled lightly and ordered:
"Cang, burn all of these."
Yoshihara Aoi responded respectfully: "Yes, Master Tunan."
Then he took a brazier and burned these records one by one in front of everyone.
Uenohara Shota watched Yoshihara Ao burn all these, and said in a gloating tone:
"You're done. What you burned just now contains the city tax book. This is for the purpose of presenting to the Minister of Finance.
I'll see how you explain it then. "
Uchiha Tunan frowned when he heard this and said with a surprised look on his face:
"Who said I burned it? I obviously wanted to audit the accounts. You were worried that corruption would be exposed, so you burned the tax books.
Everyone here can vouch for me. "
Uenohara Shota was startled when he heard this and roared: "You are slandering."
Uchiha Tunan ignored him, but looked at the people in the quagmire and said:
“Everyone, I believe that you are all law-abiding people and will not collude with this guy.
Anyone who wants to report him can speak freely.
These are all merits, and you will still get paid if you don't get promoted.
Cang, help me record it.
Each accusation must be marked with the person who said it, and they must put their fingerprints on it.
By the way, mark anyone who didn't mention it. I highly doubt that person is Captain Shota's criminal accomplice. "
After Uchiha Tunan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes, and pecked at it one bite at a time.
There was silence for a while, but someone soon broke the silence.
"I said, Shimogawara Shota secretly collects protection money from gangsters outside the city."
"He also sent contraband into the city without permission."
"He also harbored several human trafficking organizations."
...
Time passed little by little.
Everyone who confessed to Uenohara Shota's crimes was released by Uchiha Tunan.
Yoshihara Ao quickly recorded the crimes in his notebook.
After no one spoke up to report him, he handed the notebook to Uchiha Tunan.
Uchiha Tunan waved the notebook containing the dense crimes in front of Uenohara Shota and said:
"See clearly? Is it enough to kill you?"
Shota Uenohara took a few deep breaths and pretended to be tough: "There is no substantial evidence. According to the laws of the Fire Country, there is nothing you can do against me."
"I will burn the evidence for you. If you have any grievances, tell the daimyo in his dream."
Uchiha Tunan chuckled and shook his head, then pointed at a North City guard:
"Comrade, come and see him off. I remember that you have the most crimes against him."
The Beicheng guard looked around and walked tremblingly to the front.
He reached out to pick up the kunai and looked at Shota Uenohara with a hesitant look on his face.
After all, he knew so many things about Uenohara Shota because the two had a good personal relationship, and he was involved in all these things.
At this time, Shota Uenohara really panicked and said with a horrified look on his face:
"No! I surrender to you. I will do whatever you want me to do..."
Uchiha Tunan did not urge him, he touched his chin and pretended to think:
"If you surrender to me, you will still be the vice-captain, and what happened today will be just a misunderstanding.
You won't retaliate against those who reported you. "
"Pfft~"
As soon as Uchiha Tunan finished speaking, the North City Guard stabbed the kunai fiercely into Uenohara Shota's heart.
Seeing Uenohara Shota's death, Uchiha Tunan slapped his forehead in annoyance.
“It’s my fault, I thought about it for too long, I can’t regret it now.
You will be the vice-captain from now on. "
"Thank you, Lord Tunan."
The North City Guard knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily towards Uchiha Tunan.
Uchiha Tunan nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the few people still in the mud and said:
"The remaining few are left to you. Don't be polite. Everyone has to have a share."
Seeing that Shota Uenohara had been killed, those few people were already panicking and shouted:
"Sir, we say that Shota Uenohara raped a woman."
"Shouta Uenohara bribed the leader of the Wei Mansion, Ue Kawa Okora."
"Pfft~"
"Pfft~"
...
Is there any collusion with the leader of the Wei Mansion...
A trace of thought flashed in Uchiha Tunan's eyes, then he stood up leisurely and said:
"Wash yourself, lest others say we Beicheng Guards are slovenly.
Also, go back and tell the people on duty today about this.
From now on, please stay safe and do not break the law.
I usually have to practice well. If anything happens in the future, I will follow the arrangements of my attendants. "
After saying that, he went to the bedroom to get a storage scroll and left the mansion.
When he came to the street, Uchiha Tunan randomly found someone and asked:
"Excuse me, who should I contact to report official corruption?"
"We should look for Supervisory Minister Fukuda Masaki, just northwest of Daming Mansion.
There are guards at the door, just ask. "
"Thank you very much."
Uchiha Tunan thanked him, turned around and walked in the direction pointed by the passerby.
After a while, they arrived at the mansion of the Supervisory Minister and met Fukuda Masaki as he wished.
In the living room, Uchiha Tunan knelt down in front of the table, looked at Fukuda Masaki opposite, bowed respectfully and said:
"I have met Master Masaki."
Fukuda Masaki said in a deep voice:
"You are the newly appointed captain of the North City Guard, Uchiha Tunan.
I don’t know who you want to report. "
“I want to report North City Guard deputy captain Uenohara Shota for corruption and being a protector of evil forces.
This was his crime, and it was the subordinates of Beicheng Guard who collectively reported him. "
Uchiha Tunan handed the crime note he carried to Fukuda Masaki.
Fukuda Masaki opened the crime book and was immediately shocked by the densely recorded crimes and countless fingerprints on it.
At this moment, there was only one sentence in Fukuda Masaki's mind.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
"This matter is of great importance. If there is no substantial evidence, I will have no choice but to report it to the Lord, who will make a decision." Masaki Fukuda replied calmly.
Uchiha Tunan nodded. As if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a seal scroll from his ninja tool bag, placed it on the table, and spread it out.
Then the seal released the contents of the seal scroll.
"Bang."
I saw colorful banknotes piled up in squares, appearing in front of Fukuda Masaki.
Fukuda Masaki just glanced at it. He was well-informed and could roughly tell that there were almost five million taels in total here.
“When I saw these crimes, I felt so angry.
On impulse, he killed him and several others who were in cahoots with him.
Also, this is the 500,000 ryo Uenohara Shota wants to bribe me with.
The stolen money should be turned over.
I don’t know if what I did broke the rules. "
Uchiha Tunan finished speaking with a smile on his face, stretched out his hands and pushed the banknotes to Fukuda Masaki.
Fukuda Masaki immediately narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said righteously:
“What this guy did is so outrageous that no one with a righteous mind can endure it.
I understand Master Tunan's approach very well.
Don't worry, my lord will definitely not blame Lord Tunan. "
"Thank you Masaki-sama, I will take my leave now.
I will order someone to bring the criminal's body later. "
Uchiha Tunan nodded politely with a smile, then paused, reached out and patted the banknote lightly and said:
"As for the situation of Beicheng Guard, I will report to Master Masaki once every month.
When the time comes, I will hand over every cent of the prisoners and stolen money to Master Masaki. "
After saying that, Uchiha Tunan stood up and left.
Fukuda Masaki immediately heard what Uchiha Tunan meant.
This means that you will provide yourself with political achievements and money every month.
This move not only brings huge benefits to oneself, but also represents the opponent's side of one's own team.
Immediately he felt happy, stood up and said enthusiastically:
"Sir Tunan is really noble and honorable. I'll give it to you."
