Chapter 305 My lord, this Su town is too bad!
A thin, middle-aged man was thrown in front of Chu Ze like a torn sack by Jin Yiwei.

Chu Ze quickly raised his eyes, glanced at the man, and said, "Wake him up." Then he continued to read.

He's seeing something exciting, and this guy really picks his time.

Jin Yiwei stepped forward and grabbed the scribe.

After a while, the scribe opened his eyes.

The scribe was startled when he first saw the unfamiliar environment, but when he saw Chu Ze again, the scribe almost lost his soul.

He is Su Zhen's confidant, so he has naturally met Chu Ze.

Chu Ze just blackmailed his family a large sum of money today, but now he is kidnapped again, what is he trying to do?
No matter what you want to do, it is always not a good thing.

The scribe has been with Su Zhen for so long, so he still has some vision.

He made up his mind, got up tremblingly, and kowtowed to Chu Ze: "I have seen Master Chu, I don't know why Master Chu called the younger one in the middle of the night?"

His voice was trembling, and he was still a little scared.

Chu Ze turned the page of the book and ignored him.

The scribe's heart, which was already on his mind, hung even higher.

He knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

As time passed, the tent was so quiet that only the occasional sound of flipping books remained.

The cold sweat on the scribe's forehead couldn't stop breaking out.

Until Chu Ze read the most exciting part and put down the book.

Although the voice was very slight, the scribe was so frightened that he almost peed in his pants.

If Chu Ze called him to ask directly, he would not be so afraid.

But Chu Ze let him kneel down, but didn't even give him a look.

It's like knowing that there is a sword hanging above your head, but you don't know when it will fall.

It's really infiltrating.

The scribe's face turned pale at this moment.

Chu Ze raised his eyes, and his indifferent eyes fell on the scribe, who subconsciously froze.

"Scribe Tang, let me ask you a question, as long as you say it, we will let you go." Chu Ze said slowly.

The Tang scribe nodded hurriedly: "Master Chu, tell me."

"You have been with Su Zhen for so long, you must have done something to him, you should be very clear." After reading the book for a long time, Chu Ze picked up the teacup and drank slowly.

Of course the Tang scribes knew.

As Su Zhen's closest confidant, he definitely knows much more than others.

But he dared not say it.

He immediately said: "Of course I know, Mr. Su has always been diligent, and Yinchuan's current political achievements are all due to Mr. Su..."

"Snapped!"

Chu Ze slammed his teacup on the table, and said in a low voice, "Do you mean that he is corrupt? By his achievements, you mean that under his rule, all the people can't even eat enough? Is the so-called not closing the door at night and not picking up things, because everyone’s home is poor, there is not even a grain of rice, and even thieves are unwilling to patronize?"

The sweat on the scribe's forehead became more intense.

This Master Chu clearly came prepared, I'm afraid it's not easy to fool around.

Seeing this, Tang scribes decided to change their countermeasures.

He smiled timidly at Chu Ze, and swore in an extremely sincere tone: "The conscience of heaven and earth, what the little one says is true.

"It seems that the Tang scribe doesn't cry when he sees the coffin." Chu Ze looked at him.

The Tang clerk's heart beat faster, he swallowed hard, and said with a dry smile: "Look at what the adults said, the adults have good hands and eyes, how dare the young ones lie to the adults."

"Sure enough, I don't know how to live or die." Chu Ze sat up straight, looked down at the Tang scribe from a high position, and said mockingly, "You are so considerate of your adults, but you don't know. If he knows, if you go out from this official in the middle of the night, he will how to think."

The Tang scribe subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his sweat.

He has been with Su Zhen for so many years and knows him best.

As long as he walks out from here tonight, even if Su Zhen won't kill him, he won't trust him anymore.

Once Chu Ze left, he was not far from death.

Looking at the Tang clerk with fear in his eyes, Chu Ze continued: "As far as I know, you seem to have a good relationship with Su Zhen's favorite concubine, right? If you tell Su Zhen about it, what will he do?"

The Tang scribe's face suddenly turned pale.

That concubine is actually the best friend of the Tang scribe.

Later, the scribes of the Tang Dynasty set her up and let her enter the Su residence.

Afterwards, most of the two communicated in secret. In addition to their personal relationship, they also secretly obtained some letters between Su Zhen and officials in Beijing and China.

This incident let Su Zhen know that his end would be even worse than his going out from here.

Just now, he looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and immediately kowtowed to Chu Ze: "My lord, please forgive me. If you want to know anything, just ask. If you know everything, please forgive me."

Chu Ze snorted coldly, and said, "I want to know what Zhen has done in Yinchuan these years, how much he has been greedy, and whether there is any evidence."

The Tang scribe rolled his eyes, picked up some things that Chu Ze knew and told them in detail.

It sounds like nothing more than enclosing land and increasing taxes privately.

"If adults want evidence, there are small ones there, and you can get them now." The Tang scribe said.

Chu Ze looked at the Tang scribe carefully.

The Tang scribe was flustered by Chu Ze's look, but he kept as calm as possible on the face.

Chu Ze looked at the Tang scribe for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the teacup, threw it heavily in front of the Tang scribe, and said angrily, "I think you are impatient, and you dare to hide something in front of me! This officer is giving you a chance, so I brought you for questioning, don't be ignorant!"

"Tell me, what did Su Zhen do! Let me tell you clearly, I might not be able to save your life, but if you dare to hide anything like this, I will kill you with one shot!"

Chu Ze took out the gun and loaded it, and the black and cold barrel of the gun pressed against the temple of the Tang scribe.

The Tang scribe was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Not daring to hide anything anymore, he told everything he knew like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

"Since Su Zhen took over Yinchuan, he was really conscientious at the beginning, but within a few years he began to take bribes. The money of the gods and Buddhas is a small number, and there are grains that should be collected every time. If the gods let us collect them, Su Zhen will They will levy two dans from the people, and the surplus will be taken, or sold, or they will be put into the market, and then sold to the people at a high price. There are also short-term workers who work for the Su Mansion, and the silver is one-third of that of other places. . . . ”

Chu Ze listened quietly.

According to the words of Tang scribes, Su Zhen is omnipotent in the matter of corruption.

Privately increasing exorbitant taxes, collusion between government and businessmen, wherever he can get money, he will take action, wishing to take all the land into his pocket.

At the end, even Jin Yiwei, who was listening next to him, couldn't listen anymore.

"My lord, this Su town is too bad!" They have been investigating Su town recently, but the time is too short to find much.

I thought that was already too much, but it turned out to be even more so.

Jin Yiwei said: "My lord, if you say a word, the subordinates will arrest Su Zhen for you now, how about it?"
