Siheyuan: Don't mess with me

"My dearest concubine, I will not go to prison!"

Jinyiwei was ordered to prison and had a great reputation!

No one who went in came out alive.

Even though the little eunuch was in the palace, he had also heard of the name of Jin Yiwei and was in prison. He was so frightened that he trembled and kept shaking.

"Shut up, you shameful thing!"

Concubine Wan Gui turned pale with anger and slapped the little eunuch on the face.

"My dear concubine, please stay on the safe side so that we can meet again in the future! Since you have the power to co-manage the Sixth Palace, you can naturally deal with the palace maids. However, your subordinates also have the power to investigate cases according to orders. Naturally, I dare not ask your concubine to go to jail.

But your men..."

Having said this, Zhou Cong looked around at Concubine Wan Gui's men and sneered constantly.

"Hahaha!"

To Zhou Cong's surprise, Concubine Wan Gui actually chuckled and gave a thumbs up, "You are so brave. I admit defeat in this matter. Zhou Qianhu, we will have a long life in the future!"

After that, Concubine Wan Guifei climbed onto the concubine's frame.

"Wan Guifei is such a good concubine. She can stay stable on the throne because of her father Wanbaoshan. That's right. The most indispensable thing in the palace is beauties. She can firmly win the emperor's heart.

, how can we underestimate it!"

Seeing that Concubine Wan Gui couldn't restrain her, she immediately gave up! Even after beating her, the embarrassment was resolved, and Zhou Cong gave her a high look.

Speaking of which, there was no irreconcilable conflict between him and Concubine Wan Gui. He simply acted out of courtesy, bowed deeply and said, "Congratulations to the Concubine Wan Gui to return to Luan!"

"Hahaha!"

But seeing Zhou Cong being arrogant at the front and respectful at the back, Concubine Wan Guifei gently flipped her hair, and her laughter was extremely sweet.

"Give it to him as a reward for his concubine Qin!"

Then, Concubine Wan Gui actually ordered to stop the racket, took off an emerald ring from her jade finger, handed it to the little eunuch beside her, and said softly.

"See you, Sento-sama!"

Hundreds of households in Dongzhimen saw Zhou Cong's arrival. From under Lu Jianxing, all the royal guards congratulated him in unison.

"Brothers, you're welcome!"

Zhou Cong waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up, and said with a smile, "Xiuchunlou, I'm treating you tonight, and everyone has to come and support me!"

"Thank you, Lord Chihu, for the reward!"

Everyone knew that Zhou Cong was not short of money, and they were happy to support him, so they all joined in.

"Brother Lu, brother Jin, the saint has ordered me to investigate the capsizing of the imperial ship! I thought of our brothers first, how about it? Are you willing to go into this troubled waters with Zhou?"

After calling Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan to his side, Zhou Cong asked again.

"I am willing to die for my lord!"

Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan both watched Zhou Cong go from the position of Xiaoqi to the position of Qianhu.

I know that this is a man with deep intentions and unscrupulous actions.

Although they all know that the capsizing of the imperial ship is a mess, they also know that it is an opportunity. If they do it well, everyone will be promoted and make a fortune.

If you don't do it well, it's impossible to say that it means confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Both of them are single, and there is no family connection behind them, so why not just let him fight for this fortune.

Moreover, Zhou Cong was ostensibly discussing with the two of them, but both of them knew that the discussion was just a superficial illusion.

Zhou Cong made his fortune in Jin Yiwei's Dongzhimen Hundred Households. This is something everyone knows. Even if they don't want Zhou Cong's pirate ship, the outside world will think that they and Zhou Cong are wearing the same pants.

The consequences of not wanting to do so will also make Zhou Cong angry. They are all smart people, so they naturally know how to choose.

"Brothers working together can cut through metal! This is the best!"

Seeing Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan agree calmly, Zhou Cong also laughed and patted their shoulders heavily.

The two of them had spent a lot of their own money. If they still resisted at this time, then he would have to use some tricks to deal with them.

Otherwise, will anyone listen to me in the future?

Thinking of this, he finally understood Wang Xifeng somewhat.

As a superior, you must show kindness and power in order to control your subordinates.

If you only show kindness without establishing authority, it will be difficult to lead the team once people's hearts are dispersed.

"Brother Lu, you have been in Jinyiwei. Do you know about the usury loaned by Wang Xifeng, the second wife of Rongguo Mansion?"

Agreeing with Wang Xifeng's point of view did not mean that he could let Wang Xifeng go. He raised his head and asked a key question.

"Sir, although I don't know much about this matter, my colleagues will definitely know about it and will report it to the superiors.

As long as you check Jin Yiwei's archives, it will be clear to you!"

Lu Jianxing said hurriedly.

Then, feeling that he had not said enough, he added, "Sir, the secret files of the officials and family members of the DPRK and the Central Government have been recorded by the brothers for future investigation!"

Zhou Cong understood this sentence.

In other words, there are files in Jinyiwei about the behavior of officials and family members in the DPRK. But when they can be used, it depends on whether someone has access to these files.

Take the Rongguo Mansion as an example. Wang Xifeng said it right. As long as you don't rebel, what does it matter if you kill a few people?

In other words, if North Korean and Chinese officials kill a few people, grab some money, and play with a few women, it is no big deal.

But once you do something else, such as standing in the wrong team, these secret files are like a lock on your head.

Either to add accusations against you, or because there are some things that are difficult to say publicly, they will use these secret files to talk about things!

"It's best, come with me to the Dongchang Documents Library to have a look!"

Since Jin Yiwei has a secret file, Zhou Cong naturally doesn't need to bother investigating anymore.

After saying this, he led Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan to the case library.

"See Lord Zhou Qianhu!"

As soon as I arrived at the archives, I was greeted by a Qianhu official with a big smile.

"Sir, this is Lu Wenzhao and Lu Qianhu!"

Lu Jianxing was an old man from Jinyiwei and he hurriedly introduced Zhou Cong.

"Lu Wenzhao, the official document library...the imperial ship capsized...haha!"

Seeing Lu Wenzhao face to face, Zhou Cong couldn't help but laugh, because he remembered the details in Xiuchundao.

"Master Lu, I have been ordered by the saint to investigate the capsizing of the imperial ship. Please let me go!"

Zhou Cong took out the token given by the saint and held it high in his hand.

"With the saint's token here, you can naturally go in and read the files. But there are a lot of files in the archives. I wonder if I can be of help and show my face in front of the saint!"

Lu Wenzhao's eyes flashed and he came close to Zhou Cong.

"cannot!"

Zhou Cong refused with a sneer.

"Sir, I don't want to take away your credit, I just want to help you. If this case can be solved in the future, just remember my name!"

Lu Wenzhao was quite capable of doing what he said. When he spoke, he even stuffed a banknote into his mouth.

"This matter is very confidential. I'm sorry, Lu Qianhu!"

Zhou Cong took the banknote, glanced at it, found that it was only one thousand taels, and returned it.

At the same time, he reached out and patted his shoulder, "Next time you give a gift, give him more!"

After that, he ignored Lu Wenzhao at all and took Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan into the archives.

"The person who came here is not a good person. This matter must be repaid to the proprietor!"

Seeing that Zhou Cong didn't give any face to him, Lu Wenzhao still had a harmless and kind expression, but his eyes flashed, obviously thoughtful.

The Dongchang Documents Library occupies a very large area.

Documents from various places are neatly arranged on the bookshelves.

Let Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan check the Jia family's files, and Zhou Cong personally search for the contents of the internal prison.

With the records in the movie, he easily found the minutes of supervision of the construction of the treasure ship.

After quickly browsing, I found Guo Zhen's name at the end.

When they met Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan with the treasure ship supervision minutes, they found that they also had two thick files in their hands.

I took a copy, opened it, and found that it was all private matters of the Jia family.

And at the front is the record of how Jia Lao Taijun Jia Shi used privacy means to murder several of Jia Daishan's concubines.

Looking back again, I came across Jia She's records, most of which were about obtaining antiques by force.

And the record of Wang Xifeng that he cared about most was also on it.

It not only records her loan sharking, but also clearly writes down the person in charge and the person who borrowed the money. There are names and addresses, which is extremely detailed.

The record in another book shows that the servants of the Jia family used the reputation of the Jia family to make money outside.

Some of them are unclear, but they are the servants of the Jia family who embezzled the master's wealth.

In it, not only is there evidence of the crimes of Lai Da's family, but also the affairs of Zhou Cong's cousin Zhou Rui are recorded.

This is no wonder, because Zhou Rui himself is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Otherwise, how could his son-in-law Leng Zixing have the money to open an antique shop and become good friends with Jia Yucun.

"Master Zhou, can you gain anything?"

When they left the case library, Lu Wenzhao had not yet left and came over again.

"Blow a pool of spring water, what do you want me to do?"

Zhou Cong glanced at him, registered the files he took away, and then turned around and left.

As soon as he left, Lu Wenzhao snatched Zhou Cong's registration.

But after seeing the minutes of the supervision of the construction of the treasure ship written on it, my pupils couldn't help but shrink, and I felt that something was very wrong.

"Brother Lu, this is for you. You and Brother Jin go and collect the principal of these loan sharks. Tell them that if they dare to loan money next time, they will be sent to jail.

In addition, tell the debtor that the money owed does not need to be returned! I have to go to the palace!

Put the copied principal into the treasury, then report the amount to me, and I will reward the brothers with 50% of it!"

After leaving the document library, Zhou Cong opened the secret files of Jia's family, turned to the pages where Wang Xifeng posted the accounts, and crossed his fingers from top to bottom.

"Please don't worry, sir!"

Although Zhou Cong called himself Big Brother Lu, Lu Jianxing couldn't just accept it so carelessly. Instead, he strictly adhered to the principle of superiority and inferiority. He cupped his fists towards Zhou Cong and ordered thirty people with Jin Yichuan.

Each led several teams and began to act separately.

With the saint's token, it is quite easy for Zhou Cong to enter the palace.

But he neither went to see Queen Liu Yan nor went to Wan Yulou to discuss his feelings.

Instead, he went to Taiye Pond.

When we arrived, boats were coming and going from Taiye Pond.

It looks lively, but in reality it is extremely sad.

Because the mission of these ships was to retrieve corpses, they were filled with the corpses of dead palace maids, eunuchs, and musicians.

He took off his coat and called a young eunuch to watch.

Zhou Cong jumped into the Taiye Pool.

Relying on the power of his mind, he swam towards the place where the royal boat capsized like a fish.

When they arrived at the place where the royal boat capsized, Zhou Congdan saw dozens of corpses standing suspended in the air. Their bodies had been soaked until they were white and slightly swollen. There were also many fish swimming around, gnawing at the flesh of the deceased.

"Lu Wenzhao, no matter who is behind you? I will never let you go this time!"

Although many of his men lost their lives and were determined, this scene still shocked Zhou Cong.

Silver teeth were clenched and she secretly swore an oath!

His arms shook and he rose into the air, calling for the corpse ship to come over.

Then, he went into the water again, reached out to fish out, and caught two corpses!

He came out of the water again, flicked his hand, and threw the two corpses like cannonballs towards the corpse boat.

This action frightened the eunuch who was steering the boat so much that his face turned pale.

I originally thought that such a huge impact would overturn the boat.

But who knew that when the two corpses fell onto the boat, they only made a soft sound, causing the boat to tremble slightly.

However, Zhou Cong used a clever move to change the falling force from straight to horizontal.

Continuously going in and out of the water, Zhou Cong collected the corpses in the water and threw them on the corpse fishing boat.

In this way, it took him half an hour to finally remove all the corpses.

Then, he went into the water again.

I started to search carefully.

After checking around, Zhou Cong found four secret doors at the bottom of the boat.

Every secret door was opened and was the size of an ordinary door.

It is difficult to do this quickly, as this royal boat will capsize in such a short period of time.

In addition to the emperor, empress and concubine Wan Guifei, there were less than ten people who escaped from the ship.

With a vertical movement, Zhou Cong jumped out of the Taiye Pond, spun around in the air, steamed up his internal energy, and dried the remaining water before putting on his clothes again.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your help. Without you, this matter would have taken a few days!"

An old eunuch came over and praised him heartily.

"That's all I can do!"

Zhou Cong waved his hands with a wry smile and looked at the corpses that had been loaded into the car.

"My father-in-law, please prepare a gold pagoda for each of them, separate the ashes, and then bury them shallowly!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Cong took out a banknote and stuffed it into it.

He did this because he wanted to do something within his power.

The saying that once you enter the palace gate is as deep as the sea is really not a joke.

In the dynasty, if the eunuchs and palace maids were not particularly famous, their bodies would not be returned to their families after their death.

They were mixed together and burned, and then the ashes were randomly thrown into the well.

Later, a noble concubine thought of this and bought a few acres of wasteland with her own money.

Eunuchs and palace maids who don't want to fill the well with ashes can bury the ashes in wasteland.

This is benevolent government!

But the palace is a place where people can eat people. If the palace maids and eunuchs didn't spend enough money before they died, who would bother to do this for them?

After so many years, that wasteland has long been covered with tombs, with countless golden pagodas stacked on top of each other.

At that time, there was also a saying that the shallower the body was buried, the sooner it would be reincarnated.

That's why Zhou Cong said this.

"Master Zhou is kind-hearted!"

After the old eunuch took a look at the banknote, he laughed out loud, praised Zhou Cong again, and then ordered the young eunuchs to take the body away.

"Now that I'm famous, I can investigate Guo Zhen's whereabouts!"

Turning around and walking out of the palace, Zhou Cong thought to himself.

Acting has to be done in full. The reason why he just took the treasure ship construction supervision minutes and came to Taiye Lake to inspect the ship was to confirm that this matter was a conspiracy.

Prepare yourself to investigate Guo Zhen and find out the mastermind behind it. You can't go directly to Guo Zhen without even taking a look at the ship.

The teacher is unknown and can easily be slapped in the face.
