After he said this, the expressions of Zhou Chongchen and others changed.
However, there was no sound from the second floor. Liao Shuwu looked at Ding Xingjian with suspicious eyes, gritted his teeth, and went up the stairs.
Ding Xingjian glanced at the others and said coldly: "Take down Qi Zhong and Zhou Chongchen, guard the gate, and no one is allowed out."
Yue Ping responded respectfully and ordered people to arrest Zhou Chongchen and Qi Zhong.
Liao Shuwu was not there, and the situation on the second floor was too strange. Zhou Chongchen and Qi Zhong did not dare to resist, and Qi Captou's agents were all disarmed.
When Ding Xingjian went up to the second floor, he saw Qin Wenhui and Liao Shuwu both kneeling on the ground. Qin Wenhui's face was ashen, and Liao Shuwu had a slap mark on his left and right cheeks, and he was trembling on his knees.
Ding Xingjian snorted secretly, walked behind Wu Chengsi, and heard him write lightly: "Liao Lu, you just said that there is someone above you. You might as well tell the person and listen. Maybe I can't afford to offend him, so I'll spare him."
It’s your turn this time.”
Liao Shuwu was shocked and frightened. He had no master and wanted to use the big shot as a shield.
However, when she looked at Qin Wenhui, she saw him glaring at her coldly, as if saying: "Idiot, if we drag that Excellency into the water, who can come to save us?".
Liao Shuwu suddenly didn't dare to say anything anymore, and kept kowtowing: "Xiaguan was confused for a moment, I beg you to please me and spare my life!"
Wu Chengsi was unmoved and said calmly: "It's useless even if you don't say it. That person is Zheng Rentai, the former governor of Youzhou, right?"
Liao Shuwu was even more frightened, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
Seeing his reaction, Wu Chengsi was convinced. He turned to Qin Wenhui and said, "There is only one thing I don't understand right now. Why do you, a dignified governor, maintain a restaurant like this? So what benefits did Cao Yi give you?"
Qin Wenhui was silent for a long time and sighed softly: "Master Wu, believe it or not, ten years ago, I, Qin Wenhui, was a man who only wanted to benefit the people. To become what I am today is really not what I wanted.
.”
"Then what made you change your original intention? Money? Or beauty?" Wu Chengsi raised his eyebrows.
Qin Wenhui looked sideways at the ground and said with a wry smile: "Although I also love golden beauties, this will never make me give up my principles. The reason why I am what I am today is all because of a wine glass, a rare wine glass!"
"Night Dragon Cup?" Wu Chengsi was stunned and blurted out.
"Have you seen that wine glass too?" Qin Wenhui's face suddenly glowed with a strange light.
Wu Chengsi shook his head: "I have only heard people say this." After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "I understand, Cao Yi dedicated the Night Dragon Cup in his hand to you!"
Qin Wenhui smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, that Night Dragon Cup has indeed been in my hand for a while. Ever since I saw it, I can no longer resist the charm of jade treasures. The various principles of being an official have gradually been absorbed by me.
Discarded."
Ding Xingjian sneered: "People like you will be corrupted by gold and silver sooner or later, so why bother looking for such ridiculous reasons!"
"Yes, yes, you have corrupted yourself!" Qiu Zhibin said hurriedly.
Qin Wenhui shook his head and sighed: "Maybe, but if you saw the appearance of that wine glass at night, you would definitely be moved."
Wu Chengsi ordered Ding Xingjian: "Take people to arrest Cao Yi immediately and bring him here."
Ding Xingjian took the order and went.
"Qin Wenhui, let me ask you, does Zheng Wentai know about the Eight Immortals Tower?" Wu Chengsi said solemnly.
Qin Wenhui smiled bitterly and said: "Master Wu, do you know where the Night Dragon Cup is now?"
Wu Chengsi's face sank and he said slowly: "In Zheng Wentai's hands?"
Qin Wenhui nodded: "At that time, I was just the governor of You. In order to go further, I dedicated the Night Dragon Cup to Governor Zheng. Since then, he has taken good care of me."
Wu Chengsi understood that Zheng Rentai knew everything Qin Wenhui did, but chose to turn a blind eye because of taking bribes.
During the subsequent interrogation, Qin Wenhui was very cooperative, answering almost all questions, and even took the initiative to confess some matters, such as some of Qiu Zhibin's crimes.
"A scholar named Yao Jian once wrote a poem, satirizing Qiu Changshi, who had no real talent and knowledge, but liked to be arty. After learning about it, Qiu Changshi canceled his qualifications as a Gongsheng student and prevented him from entering the capital to participate in the examination.
"Later, Yao Jian wanted to go to Beijing to file an imperial complaint, but he was caught by Qiu Changshi and kept in prison." Qin Wenhui said slowly.
Qiu Zhibin was shocked and said angrily: "Master Wu, this matter is false. It's Qin Wenhui who wants to drag him down!"
Wu Chengsi sneered and said: "I know that Qiu Changshi will not let me down. Qin Wenhui, does Ding Xingjian know about Yao Jian?"
"He knows, of course he knows, but he is afraid of offending Qiu Zhibin, so he turns a blind eye!" Liao Shuwu said suddenly, with a crazy smile on his face.
Qin Wenhui glanced at him and said disdainfully: "How could I, Mr. Qin, have a relative like you?" He cupped his hands to Wu Chengsi and said, "Ding Xingjian and Qiu Zhibin had a fight over this matter, but because Qiu Zhibin asked for a bribe from the magistrate.
, the lower official helped him push Ding Xingjian back."
Qiu Zhibin looked pale and said: "Crazy... you must be crazy!"
Qin Wenhui sneered, turned his head, and looked at the white clouds outside the window, with a look of reminiscence on his face.
Wu Chengsi stared at him for a moment and said slowly: "Qin Wenhui, what else have you and Qiu Zhibin done? I don't have time to investigate one by one. I will report to the court and ask the Ministry of Punishments to send officials to investigate thoroughly. In the meantime
, to prevent you from destroying evidence, please follow me for the time being."
Qiu Zhibin said in a hoarse voice: "Master Wu, don't listen to Qin Wenhui's nonsense. I was wronged!"
Qin Wenhui said calmly: "I understand."
Qiu Zhibin wanted to say more, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and Ding Xingjian was seen leading a few people to the second floor, his face looking a little ugly.
"Master Wu, Cao Yi has absconded." Ding Xingjian lowered his head and said.
Wu Chengsi stood up suddenly and said with blazing eyes: "The envoy didn't show up at all, and the outside world didn't know what was going on here. How could he suddenly run away?"
Ding Xingjian whispered: "Xia Guan has been asking people to seal the entrance and exit of the restaurant. I don't know how he smelled it!"
Wu Chengsi thought for a while and ordered: "Immediately go to sea to arrest the document. This person is wanted throughout the country. Then seal the Weiyang Martial Arts School and send capable people to investigate all the crimes of Cao Yi and his party."
After a pause, he added: "Ding Sima, I will report to the court and send officials from the Ministry of Punishment to investigate Qin Wenhui and Qiu Zhibin. During this period, I will take them with me, and you will temporarily manage the affairs of Youzhou."
Ding Xingjian was stunned and asked: "Do you want to leave Youzhou?"
Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "I was not here to rectify the officialdom in Youzhou. This time I just met by chance and solved the matter smoothly."
Ding Xingjian cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the governor of Qin has great power in Youzhou. There are still many people like Liao Shuwu. It is difficult for me to control the situation. I hope my lord can give me an official document."
Wu Chengsi nodded in agreement and asked someone to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study and write an order to remove Qin Wenhui and Qiu Zhibin and put Ding Xingjian in charge of Youzhou affairs.
He stamped it with the seal of the pacifier and gave it to Ding Xingjian.
After Ding Xingjian left, Hei Te Changzhi suddenly said: "My lord, do you think it was Ding Sima who let Cao Yi go on purpose?"
Wu Chengsi waved his hand and said: "Although I am not sure he is a good official, but even if he is a corrupt official, he will never let Cao Yi go at this time."
Seeing Hei Te Changzhi's confused expression, Qin Wenhui said: "Master Wu is right. In order to sit on the position of governor, Ding Xingjian will only devote his full energy to running errands at this time, and will never ruin his future."
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Qin Governor, I would like to hear your opinion on this Ding Sima."
Qiu Zhibin rushed to say: "Master Wu, Ding Xingjian has a weird personality and is unreasonable. Every time he goes to the Yamen, he goes directly back to his home. He is mysterious and sneaky. The lower officials suspect that he must have done something shady behind his back."
The deeds!"
Qin Wenhui glanced at Qiu Zhibin with disdain and said calmly: "Ding Sima is upright and upright. He never accepts bribes and never hangs out in brothels and restaurants. He treats his wife with respect as a guest and is extremely filial to his elderly mother."
Wu Chengsi nodded slightly and thought: "If I can hear this kind of comment from my enemy, I think Ding Xingjian will have no problems."
When they went down to the first floor, they saw that Zhou Chongchen and everyone in the casino had been taken away. Chen Dafu had arrived at some unknown time and was standing with Chen Lian'er, reprimanding her loudly.
"Who asked you to call people from the government? You stupid girl? Where can I go to this book again?"
"Dad, please... stop gambling!"
"Nonsense, if I don't pay back my money, how can I support you? Can't the whole family go to the streets to beg for food?"
Chen Lian'er squatted on the ground, sobbing.
Wei Heng couldn't look at it and snorted coldly: "What a ungrateful idiot. If your daughter hadn't come to save you, you would have been eaten by the casino without even leaving any bones!"
"Fart! Fart!" Chen Dafu said angrily: "My luck will come back soon. If this stinky girl hadn't caused trouble, I would have made a lot of money back!"
