The appearance of Su Kang, the king of Yue, made Zhou Zibin stunned for a long time. This was Dongzhou, not Yuezhou. Generally speaking, the crowned princes, even the princes, would not leave him unless there were special circumstances. Fiefdom is a kind of acquiescence and a way to avoid suspicion.
But Su Kang came to Dongzhou at this time. You must know that half a year ago, due to the war in Yuezhou, the King of Yue was suspected of colluding with pirates and Japanese pirates, and was investigated by an investigation team sent by the court.
For such a long time, although there was no substantial evidence, Su Kang was still trapped in Yuezhou and could not leave for the time being. Because of this, Zhou Zibin was quite shocked by Su Kang's appearance.
Su Kang's appearance gave Zhou Zibin a bad premonition. He knelt on the ground and his eyes flashed. Just as he was thinking about something, Su Kang's voice sounded faintly.
"Lord Zhou, don't be so afraid. Get up. I understand your duty to serve the country and the people, so that's why I went there in person. Supervisor Feng and Lord Zhou can tell me whether I am guilty of collusion!"
Feng Zheng, who was named, had a serious expression. He took a few steps forward and said to Zhou Zibin on the tower.
"After nearly half a year of verification by our investigation team, the so-called case of the King of Yue colluding with pirates and Japanese pirates is completely fabricated. It is a slander against His Highness the King of Yue. Our family has reported to the court and will punish the slanderer to death. Can the three Yi tribes, Mr. Zhou? doubt?"
Zhou Zibin quickly held up his hands and expressed his apology to Su Kang again.
"This lowly official was confused and believed the rumors. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
"Oh? Confused? Mr. Zhou's talk just now is not like muddled words. His righteous and awe-inspiring look makes me admire him."
"I don't dare! I know my mistake." Zhou Zibin looked frightened and was about to kneel down to worship again, but was stopped by Su Kang with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, I have come to Dongzhou not far away, and I don't want you to admit your mistakes. This matter ends here."
Zhou Zibin felt relieved and was about to say something when he heard Su Kangdao.
"Inspector, you want me to show up. I'm here. You've had enough fun, so stop wasting time and bring out your evidence."
"Playing? Evidence?" Zhou Zibin was startled.
Hearing these words, Su Qi'an's expression changed slightly, and then he saw Su Qian clasping his fists at Su Kang and laughing, "Since His Highness has spoken, I won't bother Mr. Zhou Mu."
"Come here, bring the stuff up to me."
As Su Qian's voice fell, after a while, several teams of soldiers and more than ten large boxes were carried up.
The box was opened. What was inside was not gold or silver, but thick account books. Su Qi'an stepped forward, stood in front of the box, took an account book, and said calmly.
"This thing is nothing else. It is part of the criminal evidence about Mr. Zhou Zibin's corruption and perversion of the law in Houjiu County for more than ten years."
The moment Su Qi'an's voice fell, Zhou Zibin laughed, "Haha, I thought the supervisor had any abilities, but it turned out that he could only talk nonsense and maliciously fabricate so-called evidence."
"With the ability of the inspector, let alone making these forged account books, as long as you are willing, you can slander any official in the entire Dongzhou as a heinous corrupt official. Su Qian, are you worthy of being appointed by the imperial court?"
"What else can you do besides jumping over the wall? Do you think His Highness and you all will believe this casual fabrication?"
Su Qian's face was calm at Zhou Zibin's retort, he nodded slightly, put down the account book in his hand, and continued.
"Master Zhou is right. These account books can indeed be forged as long as I am willing. Even you, my lord, are capable of doing so. But what if I say that these account books were given to me by Master Feng Nan?"
Zhou Zibin was startled at first, and then couldn't help but laugh. The laughter was filled with deep disdain.
If Su Qi'an told other people, Zhou Zibin might be able to believe it, but Feng Nan, this is not a big joke.
Not to mention that Feng Nan had been with him for many years and was his best confidant. Let's just leave it to him. How could Su Qi'an have time to see Feng Nan? It would be at least a month before and after the Dongzhou war broke out until it ended.
Feng Nan never left Zhou Zibin's side at all, even if
Zhou Zibin came to the front line, Feng Nan was always at the rear, and Su Qi'an was fighting fiercely on Zhoushan Island.
The distance between the two sides is at least hundreds of miles. Can Su Qian fly or can he travel thousands of miles at night? What's more important is that Feng Nan is by his side at this moment.
Su Qian's rhetoric is not meant to make people laugh, but to make people laugh out loud.
Zhou Zibin's ridicule, Su Qi'an's eyes showed some pity, he said nothing and waved his hand.
The next moment, a figure was tied up and escorted by two soldiers.
As this person appeared, Zhou Zibin, who had been full of ridicule just now, seemed to have eaten something and his throat was choked. His mouth was opened wide, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Because the person who was escorted up was none other than Dongzhou Cheng Feng Nan.
Feng Nan was brought up. His eyes were horrified as he scanned the crowd and landed on Zhou Zibin on the tower. His face was excited and he wanted to say something, but his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth and he couldn't say anything.
Zhou Zibin came back to his senses, glanced back and forth between the tower and behind him, and saw two almost identical Feng Nan, and said quickly.
"Su Qian, don't do this. You want to deceive others, but you can't deceive me. Everyone knows that there is a disguise master beside you. It's ridiculous that you want to fool this state with just a random person!"
As Zhou Zibin spoke, he unconsciously leaned towards Feng Nan behind him. Inside his sleeves, his palms unconsciously clenched something.
Just less than a foot away from Feng Nan behind him, Feng Nan, who was standing behind him, suddenly shook his head and whispered softly.
"Master Zhou Mu, I advise you not to act rashly if you want to survive. You know the consequences."
After saying that, this "Feng Nan" took a step ahead of Zhou Zibin and pressed down Zhou Zibin's sleeve arm with both hands.
Zhou Zibin's eyes flashed, and after looking at "Feng Nan", he felt the strength from his arm, sighed, and finally gave up resistance.
The palm of his hand loosened, and after a while, under the control of "Feng Nan", a dagger slipped out of his sleeve.
Under the city tower, Feng Nan appeared, and looking at those familiar eyes, Zhou Zibin had already guessed that the person behind him was fake.
But he didn't want to give up, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of speaking just now to get close to the fake Feng Nan, take action in advance, and take him hostage.
But compared with the real masters, he was still far behind. He was spotted at a glance. Rather than being spotted, it was better to have people watching him from the beginning. No move could escape his attention. .
As the dagger was removed, the fake Feng Nan also tore off his own face. Zhou Zibin saw that he had met this person several times.
He is Su Qi'an's personal bodyguard, his name is Tong Zhan.
At the same time, Su Qian's faint voice sounded in Zhou Zibin's ears.
"Master Zhou, are you trustworthy now? Are these accounts forged or real? If you insist on denying it, it doesn't matter. You have hostages in your hands, and I also have them in my hands."
After a while, two more figures were brought up. These two people were Wu Xian and Jiang Kun.
The panic on their faces was even worse. Although they were tied up, they struggled violently and took off the cloth strips from their mouths. They shouted for mercy.
"Inspector, please forgive me. We are also acting under orders. The mastermind is Mr. Zhou Mu. There is nothing we can do. Please sir...
The two people's loud calls for help made Zhou Zibin's face turn pale, and he cursed in his heart that these two people were useless and just a piece of mud after all. .
Feng Nan, Wu Xian, and Jiang Kun were arrested, and Zhou Zibin gradually calmed down from the initial shock.
He did not look at Wu Xian and Jiang Kun, the two guys who were afraid of death. He turned his eyes and landed on the three tied up Shen Wanfu. He said softly, "You three were caught on purpose and came here on purpose. Bar."
The three people who were tied up at this time had calm expressions on their faces. After Tong Zhan untied them, the ropes and strips of cloth were removed from their bodies.
The three of them flexed their muscles and said coldly, "Yes, everything is in accordance with the orders of the inspector. Mr. Zhou, you are no match for the inspector. You should pay the price for what you have done in Dongzhou for so many years. "
Zhou Zibin did not refute Shen Wanfu's sarcastic remarks, but just sneered.
He stood on the city tower and looked ahead. Although there were a large number of soldiers around him, he could guess that most of the men around him had been replaced long ago. The entire city tower was basically surrounded by Su Qian's soldiers. People are in control.
There were a large number of soldiers in the city, and these were all his people, but the surrounding areas of the city tower had been replaced. Even if Zhou Zibin gave the order and the soldiers in the city could kill these people, his life would not be guaranteed.
Compared with his own life, Zhou Zibin was more concerned about how Su Qi'an defeated his army under his nose.
Su Qi'an did not hide this, and directly informed them one by one that before starting the Dongzhou War, collecting food and grass from the rear and transferring Zhou Zibin to the front line was the first step.
Zhou Zibin is a person, and Su Qi'an also knows during this time that when the war in Dongzhou begins, he will not let go of such a good opportunity. Even if Su Qi'an does not collect food and grass from the rear, Zhou Zibin will try his best to come to the front line. This first step is to adjust As long as it goes smoothly.
In the second step, when the Dongzhou War broke out, Su Qi'an led Wu Dingguo to fight at sea, leaving Fang Jingzhi and Qin Zhen behind. It seemed safe, but in fact it was specially prepared by Su Qi'an.
Sure enough, as Zhou Zibin's identity, he naturally disdained the surveillance of these subordinate officials. As the war started, he would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble as a state shepherd, send troops to sea for support, and occupy the first nine counties of Dongzhou.
If you want to lure Zhou Zibin into action, the third step of deliberate exposure is very important.
Fan Chong and Shen Yang, who were placed in Zigui County by Su Qi'an to collect evidence of Zhou Zibin, Feng Nan and other crimes, came in handy at this time.
Deliberately exposed, he took the opportunity to make Feng Nan think he had seized the opportunity. In fact, Su Qi'an had sent Tong Zhan and other direct teams to sneak back to Zigui County long before the Dongzhou War.
With the cooperation of Shen Wanfu, Feng Nan, Wu Xian and Jiang Kun were captured in one fell swoop.
Of course, this news cannot be disclosed. What was revealed to Zhou Zibin was the false news that Feng Nan had captured Fan Chong, Shen Yang, and Shen Wanfu in collusion with Su Qi'an.
With Zhou Zibin's temperament, receiving such huge news will definitely prompt him to make up his mind to occupy the first nine counties of Dongzhou and expose his ambitions.
One step to divert the snake away, the second step to lure the snake out of the hole, and the third step to expose it. With these three moves, Zhou Zibin was eaten to death.
