Chu Ze is... hard to judge.
Anyway, Kang Cheng was quite afraid of him.
The more calm and confident he was, the more uneasy Kang Cheng became.
In addition, Bai Qingwen is from Ming Dynasty, and Kang Cheng is from Ryukyu.
They are separated by countries and have nothing to do with each other.
But there are differences between Chu Ze and Bai Qingwen.
They were both from the Ming Dynasty, and Chu Ze was an official of the Ming Dynasty. Chu Ze had an advantage over him in every aspect.
Now that Chu Ze was kneeling in front of him in such a big way to show off his power, he was not without confidence.
Because of this, Kang Cheng was even more uneasy.
He waved to the boy and asked, "How has Bai Qingwen been doing during this time?"
In the past few days, Kang Cheng was closely watched by Zhao Si.
The servant is responsible for liaison with his subordinates and other matters.
The boy said: "Everything is fine. Bai Qingwen contacted me the day before yesterday and said that he had raised one-third of the money."
"Yeah."
"Yes." This was what the person who was sent out told him personally.
The boy remembers it clearly.
Kang Cheng felt a little calm after hearing this.
Zhu Di and Chu Ze were still sitting where they were, glancing in Kang Cheng's direction from time to time.
After waiting for a long time, Kang Cheng didn't come out.
Zhu Di smiled and said to Chu Ze: "Chu Ze, you are wrong. He didn't move. He is quite calm."
Chu Ze also glanced over there and blinked at Zhu Di: "What's the rush?"
Kang Cheng can keep his composure, and he is not impatient.
Wait, then.
See who can wait longer.
It was getting late, and Chu Ze also returned to his yard.
But his eyes were always focused on Kang Cheng's activities.
There was no movement for the first half of the night.
Until late at night.
Chu Ze was woken up from his sleep by someone.
When he woke up, Chu Ze's brows were pressed tightly and his whole body was filled with chills.
He was wearing pajamas, with an irritated face, like an evil ghost who was about to choose someone to devour.
But he still suppressed his temper and waited for his men to finish speaking.
"Kang Cheng went there in person?" Chu Ze asked.
"yes."
Chu Ze thought about it secretly and suddenly laughed.
He said to his subordinates: "Go out and ask your men to keep an eye on Kang Cheng."
"yes."
After his subordinates exited, Chu Ze's sleepiness completely disappeared.
Kang Cheng, Kang Cheng, I really can’t sit still.
Good.
In this case, he will also meet Bai Qingwen tomorrow and see what he has to say.
Before that, he had to meet Zhu Ping.
I don’t know if Zhu Xi will have any surprises for him tomorrow.
"Don't tell me, our hard work these days has not been in vain." During breakfast, Chu Ze mentioned this matter, and Zhu Ping became excited instantly.
He put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Chu Ze with burning eyes.
"You know, we have been able to find out a lot of things in the past few days. Let's talk about Shen Nan first. Ever since Shen Nan took over as the magistrate of Fuzhou, she has been colluding with local wealthy businessmen, accepting bribes, and allowing wealthy businessmen to do whatever they want in the local area. The occupation of West Lake is the result of his connivance."
It sounds like there is nothing wrong except a little love for money.
After hearing this, Chu Ze asked again: "What about Bai Qingwen?"
Zhu Xi, who was in high spirits just now, now frowned.
Chu Ze saw it.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the situation? Is it difficult for Bai Qingwen to tell?"
"It's about this..."
Zhu Ping was a little hesitant in his words.
Thinking of what he had found out, Zhu Xi organized his words, and then slowly spoke: "This Bai Qingwen is not simple."
This Bai Qingwen is a native of Fuzhou. His father made a fortune when he was young, and it became completely bigger in Bai Qingwen's hands.
For business.
You can develop your family business to what it is today, how can you keep your hands clean?
Zhu Ping followed Chu Ze's instructions and went to secretly investigate the bureaucrats and gentry in Fuzhou.
This other incident was discovered purely by accident.
The person Zhu Xi was investigating at the time was Shen Nan.
And Bai Qingwen had a lot of contact with Shen Nan. When checking Shen Nan, it was inevitable that Bai Qingwen would also be found.
Then I accidentally found out about it.
"What's going on?" Zhu Di also put down his bowl and chopsticks and pricked up his ears to hear the gossip.
Chu Ze also wanted to hear it.
Zhu Xi also got excited about it.
He slammed the table, as excited as if he was about to write a book.
"By the way, this matter has to start fifteen years ago. At that time, Bai Qingwen had just taken over the Bai family, and the Bai family was also in the midst of civil strife. ..."
Bai Qingwen's father had three wives and five children.
If the family is big and the business is big, everyone wants to maximize their interests, so fighting is inevitable. This is not surprising, and there is nothing to say about it.
But Bai Qingwen directly killed his partner for a business deal.
Not only did he kill his partner, but he also fell in love with the other partner's daughter. After forcefully possessing the partner, he directly sank the partner into a well in order to avoid leaking the news.
After sinking the well, he found bandits again and wiped out the whole family.
It can't be said that he is not cruel in his actions.
Chu Ze and Zhu Di couldn't help but clicked their tongues after hearing this.
"Then how did you find out about this matter?" It has been fifteen years, and the entire family has been exterminated, so it is said that this matter cannot be found out.
How did Zhu Ping find out?
And it was done in such detail in such a short period of time.
Chu Ze and Zhu Di were both a little surprised.
Zhu Feng said: "Because we accidentally caught someone who knew the inside story."
"Who?" Chu Ze and Zhu Di said at the same time.
Zhu Fang said: "It was Shen Nan who was handling this case at that time. Bai Qingwen bribed Shen Nan with a large amount of money and asked him to write in the case closing document that the family was killed by an enemy and the matter was ended with a vendetta. However, a police officer who handled the matter noticed the incident and secretly kept it in mind."
This memory has been remembered for more than ten years.
His hair was pale.
This time Zhu Xi accidentally found him. This man realized that his end was approaching, and his guilt increased day by day.
When Zhu Xi found him, he told Zhu Xi about it.
Zhu Xi finished these things in one breath, and then drank some water to moisten his throat.
Chu Ze and Zhu Di took the initiative to pour him tea.
After he finished drinking, he urged: "Tell me, do you have any evidence for this?"
If there is evidence, Bai Qingwen can be taken down at once.
Shen Nan can also be dealt with.
Just in time to clear out the political officials in Fuzhou.
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Xi expectantly.
After a cup of tea fell into his throat, Zhu Xi breathed out a sigh of relief.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Xiang frowned again and said, "This is where the trouble lies. After we heard about it, we immediately went to check the matter. After investigation, it was found in the archives , there is indeed a file on this case, but the people who handled it back then are either dead or have disappeared into the sea of people, and cannot be found. We have searched for many times, but we can only find some superficial information. No matter how deep we go, It’s completely undetectable.”
Zhu Di: "In other words, we only know about this incident, but we can't provide any evidence?"
"Yes." Zhu Xi nodded.
The anticipation in Chu Ze's eyes gradually dissipated.
"It seems that we want to use this matter to deal with Bai Qingwen and others, but I'm afraid we can't."
