Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 579: Confession
Hearing that the Zhao family had confessed, You Jiao's expression changed drastically. Over the years, he and the Zhao family had had too many bad things, and even being killed several times was enough. This was also the reason why he immediately took care of the Zhao family when he learned that there was something wrong with the Zhao family.
The reason why people came here was not just him, the Qiangfu in the village was also inextricably connected with the Zhao family.
"If you tell the truth, you can reduce your guilt." Qin Yu's reaction when he saw You Jie was completely expected. Asking Zhao Ji to identify him would not have much effect at all. The benefit You Jie got was from Zhao Ji.
Coming from a wealthy family like ours, ordinary people don't have much in their bodies that they can take advantage of.
You Jiao, who originally had a serious face, was struggling in his heart. If the Zhao family confessed, it would be meaningless for him to resist here. Instead, he would be punished for not cooperating with the officials. But he knew that unless the crime was extremely heinous,
Otherwise, he would not be executed by the whole family. At most, his family assets would be confiscated. Over the years, the money he had hidden was enough to feed and clothe his family in the future. Although he wanted to die generously, he did not have the backbone.
"Is it possible that my subordinates can reduce their guilt if they say so?" As he spoke, You Jiao became more respectful and no longer as arrogant as before.
Li Zhong looked thoughtful when he saw this. He was sure that Qin Yu did not interrogate the Zhao family and his son, but was just cheating on the money. This method also broadened his horizons.
"Reduction or exemption? That's nonsense." Qin Yu said coldly: "If you don't say it, I won't force him. Someone will come and take him into custody."
The calmer Qin Yu acted, the more panicked You Jiao was. No matter what, it would be good to be able to reduce some of the blame.
"I'll explain my humble duties." You Jiao lowered his head that had always been held high.
After recording the charges, You Jiao looked at Qin Yu with great hope, hoping that even a small promise from Qin Yu would be enough to give him a truthful account.
Qin Yu's face was a little gloomy. Even though he had dealt with many such things, he still felt uncontrollable anger every time he saw officials acting like this.
"Don't worry, I will report it to you if you tell me the truth." Qin Yu said with an unkind expression.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." You Jiao thanked him repeatedly. Although his hands were tied, he still kept bending down.
After ordering people to take You Jie away, Qin Yu turned his attention to Li Zhong and others, "As long as we can achieve our goal and get them to explain truthfully, no matter what deception is, our goal is to have the rebellious officials killed. As for the future, we will do it for other officials."
What does it matter if the officials know it? If you don’t want others to know it, you have to do it yourself.”
Li Zhong nodded in agreement as if he had some understanding.
Qin Yu was ordered to investigate the matter of Zhao Yan and his son in detail, but Lu Bu rushed back to Jinyang. This place is not very far from Jinyang. If the Li family and other families in the city knew that the inspection office had taken action, they would definitely take action.
On guard, the one who angered Lu Bu the most was the Li family.
After returning to the city, Lu Bu immediately ordered people to surround the Li family and Zhang family, and no one was allowed to leave their homes.
Li Fan was considered a well-known figure in the city. He was responsible for the affairs of the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce and made the Li family make a lot of money. The profits from Jinzhi were beyond imagination. The eight hundred yuan was the price he got from Lu Bu.
You can make a fortune by selling it to merchants from all over the world. However, after the Mi family arrived, the Li family's status in the city was gradually squeezed out. The most important thing was that Mi Zhu's sister married Lu Bu. Even though Li Fan was very dissatisfied with Mi Zhu,
He didn't dare to show it, and could only watch helplessly as the power in his hands was gradually seized by the Mi family. However, he had to admire the Mi family's methods. In terms of business, he was indeed far behind Mi Zhu.
However, Li Fan was not willing to let it go like this. When he was in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, he also took the opportunity to make friends with many officials in the city. Li Fan, who had a rich family fortune, also had considerable influence among the officials. Normally, the Li family
If the disciples have any minor problems, the officials will try their best to help if they can. After all, they have benefited from them.
However, Li Fan was not satisfied with this. He secretly had many contacts with some families outside the city, and then obtained greater benefits through the hands of these families. As a businessman, he could not get involved in the profits of Jin wine and Jin paper. Although it was a pity,
However, he saw the business opportunities contained in the fields. It is said that there will be cloth mills in Jinyang, and the most lacking thing in these cloth mills is silk. As long as more fields are controlled to plant mulberry trees, there will be a steady stream of money.
In the year, he also knew Lu Bu very well. Just like the winery, the paper mill and the craftsman's workshop, which one is not a big deal, there is also something extraordinary about the cloth workshop.
Although it is winter, the businessman still has some silk in his hands. Ever since he learned that the cloth factory was founded, he secretly ordered people to buy silk. Now, under his influence, the price of silk in Jinyang has increased a lot.
This is what businessmen like to do most, secretly hoarding and raising prices. When there was a large influx of refugees in Bingzhou, he also thought about hoarding rice and taking the opportunity to raise prices. However, facing the strict order of the state pastoral government, he could only be cautious.
I'm afraid I've hit the bottom line.
Hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared outside the Li Mansion, which gave Li Fan a bad feeling. Could it be that some of his secret actions were known to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, but even so, there was no need for this.
Li Fan had some dignity among the officials in the city, but he was a little troubled when faced with soldiers who did not have enough food and salt. These soldiers only acted according to orders and did not care about the Li family. They did not understand what they were dealing with.
"Father, why are there so many soldiers outside?" Li Mo couldn't hide his panic.
"My father doesn't know that these soldiers are guarding outside the house and don't allow anyone to go out." Li Fan worriedly said that as long as the people of the Li family can go out, they can find out more about the situation.
Like the Li family, the Zhang family was also protected by soldiers. Even Zhang Lian, who worked in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, was sent back home and was under guard.
Zhang Lian is a meritorious officer in the Prefectural Mufu. In recent years, because of his status, many people have secretly offered him benefits. Such things are not uncommon among officials, even if the Inspectorate is hanging over their heads.
A sharp sword, but their interactions are private and will not come into contact with ordinary people. Even if there are so-called pickets among the people, they cannot be found.
Once this kind of thing is done for the first time, it is difficult to stop. People are endless and always want more. Therefore, after Zhang Lian was sent home by the soldiers, he understood that the matter must have been leaked and waited.
He will oversee the government's decision.
The Zhang family and the Li family were controlled, which made the officials in the city fearful. They did not expect that the Supervisor's Office and the Inspection Office would move so quickly.
