"Cao Dewang, do you know why I asked someone to kidnap you?"
Cao Dewang naturally understood in his heart!
It is precisely because I understand that I pretend to be confused!
"I don't know you, why do you arrest me? Be careful, I will report you to the government!"
"You have a tough talk. I am the number one scholar in this year's new subject. I have been personally appointed by the emperor as the second-rank minister and the first-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy. Do you want to sue the government? I would like to ask...Does the prefect dare to take action?"
Cao Dewang was in a panic!
Is this person really this year's new top pick?
I heard that this year’s top scholar in a new subject has obtained dual official positions. The official level is quite high!
"Why should I believe you? What evidence do you have to prove that you are this year's top pick?"
"I don't need to give you evidence, you just need to know that I am here to arrest you!"
Cao Dewang shrank his neck. "I'm just a commoner. Even if you are the top scholar, you can't mess around!"
"Cao Dewang, as the leader of Qingshui Town, why do you charge a tax of one hundred taels from the people every year? Are you embezzling these taxes?"
"What a tax of one hundred taels, don't accuse me wrongly!" Cao Dewang was so frightened that he couldn't admit it to death!
Otherwise, it’s all over!
"Don't tell me, right? I heard that you have a son named Cao Shun, and he is the only Miaomiao in your Cao family! He is now at Qingshan Academy in the capital!"
When Qin Yun talked about Cao Shun, there was evil calculation in his eyes!
And this scheme happened to be seen by Cao Dewang!
When Cao Shun was mentioned, Cao Dewang felt uncertain!
He is a bit greedy, but Cao Shun is his only heir. He will continue the Cao family's legacy in the future, so nothing will happen to him!
Cao Dewang didn't know that Qin Yun's pointed smirk just now was deliberately shown to him, in order to let him break his defense!
"Sir, what do you want to do?" Cao Dewang was panicking!
Qin Yun walked around Cao Deshun. "I like smart people. Since I chose to arrest you, I have found out about your corruption. Now I am giving you the opportunity to surrender. If you don't cherish it, I will
Then I will report the truth to the Emperor Ming, and when the time comes, the Emperor will issue an order, and your entire Cao family will be executed for a serious crime!"
Qin Yun knelt down and looked at Cao Dewang, who was lying on his side on the ground. "The new emperor has a bad temper. When he came to power, he beheaded all the people he disliked. Town Lord Cao also heard about it!"
"When your entire family is beheaded, Cao Shun will not be able to escape. Think about it carefully...Cao Shun is the hope of your Cao family. Can you bear to see your hope dashed?"
Hear these words!
Cao Dewang was extremely scared!
Everyone in the Cao Mansion was executed?
No, no!
But he was not sure how much Qin Yun had found and whether there was any evidence?
Seeing Cao Dewang starting to waver!
Qin Yun continued, "How can you get used to it, Lord Cao, living in this place? It must be a good night's sleep, right?"
Mention this!
Cao Dewang started crying again! "Woooooooo...!"
He spent tonight in horror!
I have never been so scared in my life!
"Master Cao, my time is limited. If you pretend to be pretentious, I will have nothing to say. When the time comes, I will come to Beijing to take part in your investigation. After reporting your corruption to the Emperor, you will wait for the whole Cao family to copy it.
Get the news!"
"No, no, sir! Isn't it okay for me to say that? I just ask you to spare my family!" Cao Dewang cried with snot and tears!
That looks terrible!
"Tell me, why do you charge a tax of one hundred taels? Are you greedy for the tax money and food?"
"Only 10% of the tax money and grain were taken, and the rest was handed over to the court!" Cao Dewang finally broke through! If his life is gone, what is the use of taking so much money?
"The remaining 90% were handed over? Do you remember the officials who come to the town every year to collect tax money and grain?"
"That high official has never been here before. Every time he comes, it's the people around him!" Cao Dewang said with tears.
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively. "That person is from the capital. His surname is Wei. The servants around him call him Butler Wei."
Cao Dewang's eyes widened and he thought to himself that even Butler Wei knew about this person. It seemed that he really had enough evidence!
"Yes!"
Qin Yun was overjoyed!
Sure enough, it was Butler Wei who was responsible!
Which official did Butler Wei belong to?
I just hope Hongfu doesn’t let her down!
"Since you have met Butler Nawei, you must be familiar with his appearance and voice!"
Cao Dewang said nothing and nodded frankly!
"Steward Wei comes to town every year to collect tax money and food. Do you have any records?"
"Steward Nawei asked me to make a false account in order to defraud the local prefect for an investigation, but the actual tax account was collected by me in private!"
"Originally, Butler Wei asked Xiao Xiao to destroy the account, but Xiao Xiao was afraid that one day he would be killed and silenced by those people. If the other party dared to attack Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao would make the matter public! The worst case scenario would be to the death of the fish or the net!"
Qin Yun nodded, this person is not stupid, but it's a pity that this little cleverness is useless!
"Don't do anything bad, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! If you cooperate with me in handling the case, I can excuse your crimes!"
Cao Dewang asked cautiously, "Is it...no need to behead!"
Qin Yun raised his lips and smiled. "I'm not sure yet. If you cooperate, you won't be beheaded. If you hide anything and tell lies, it's a heinous crime! Not only will you be executed, but you will also be informed of your crime."
People all over the world, and you will become a corrupt criminal criticized by thousands of people and scolded by tens of thousands of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Cao Dewang shook his head hurriedly. "No, I will never hide it. Whatever the adults ask, I will answer truthfully!"
"Before dawn, I will send you back to your home. After you return home, you secretly give me your tax account, and everything tonight will be treated as if it never happened! You can't share what happened tonight with others.
Talk about it, not even to your wives and concubines!"
"Yes, yes, whatever you say will be whatever you say!" Cao Dewang was very cooperative!
Qin Yun was very satisfied with Cao Dewang's attitude!
Then he gave Qingshan a look!
Qingshan understands it!
then!
Qin Yun met Su Daqian and Wang Sanxi in turn!
Su Daqian is a pervert, and this person is even less courageous. In addition to embezzling taxes and money, bullying the maids in the house is a common thing!
Sometimes, when I go out and see someone’s mother-in-law who is pretty, I basically have to get a taste of it before I give up!
This person’s confession is the same as Cao Dewang’s!
They also took 10% of the benefits and handed over the remaining 90% to corrupt officials!
As for the bottom account, after listening to the words of steward Na Wei, I destroyed it honestly and lost everything!
This guy doesn’t have that much money, he doesn’t have sex with good women, and he doesn’t have much else!
When Qin Yun saw Wang Sanxi!
This man has a bunch of little snakes coiled around him!
Perhaps it was Qin Yun’s arrival and the brightening of the house!
The snakes scattered and fled!
Qin Yun asked the servant to check Wang Sanxi's body to see if there were any bites!
She didn't expect that there would be a nest of snakes here!
It seems that Wang Sanxi is the most miserable person tonight!
No wonder Xiaoju said that this person didn’t even give her a chance to pretend to be a ghost to scare him! It turned out that he had been frightened and fainted!
"Sir, there are no bites on his body, and those snakes just now are not venomous, they are just hovering around him!" This chapter has been completed!
