Chapter 66 All Hot Searches! The Immortal Lord Plans to Create a Storm (Please Vote for Me)

…

Longzuo County.

Langzuowei.

Not far from the Dongshan Corridor, there is a manor with a large area called "Sanxian Manor".

"Three Immortals Village" nominally belongs to an eighth-grade family of Langzuowei. On weekdays, this manor looks no different from the neighboring farms. It just grows grain, grows spiritual fruits, and occasionally sells some low-level spiritual poultry meat.

But in fact, this place is a hidden pile under the name of Sancaisi, which will only be used at critical moments.

For example, right now.

In Sanxian Village, a group of "outsiders" are gathering at the moment.

On the ground, the farmers in the original village were still working as before, but there were a lot more new faces among the family guards, and the number of people was much larger than usual.

The huge basement was brightly lit, and dozens of glowstone lamps had been on for many days and nights.

The basement of Sanxian Village was specially excavated. It is not only huge in area, but also extremely high. At this moment, there are at least hundreds of notes packed densely in the basement. Behind each note, there is a clerk with his head down and busy. Next to it is a mind-numbing amount of books and account books piled up.

The entire basement was extremely quiet, with almost no noise except for the "swishing" sound of turning pages, the "squeaking" sound of computers colliding with each other, and the occasional sound of clothes rubbing against each other and coughing.

The atmosphere was tense and solemn.

At the top of the basement, there is a platform extending from the edge. The platform has a wide view, overlooking the entire basement, and has a panoramic view of everyone's actions below.

At this moment, on this platform, three people were sitting in their own chairs, sipping tea slowly and waiting quietly.

These three people were all wearing red official robes with blue and purple thunder eagles embroidered on them. Obviously, these four people are all fourth-level officials of the current dynasty. They are all big bosses who can cause three earthquakes with just a stamp of their feet.

But at this moment, these three people gathered together.

"Zheng Hongwen, can you help me? It's been almost a month since I checked the accounts, and no problem has been found yet?" Suddenly, a lazy young man's voice sounded.

The one who spoke was the young man sitting next to him. He squinted his eyes slightly, wore a loose official robe, and his sitting posture was casual and lazy, looking a bit bored.

This person's surname is Qiao and his first name is Hongbo, and he is the commander-in-chief of the Supervision Department.

He was born in the fourth-grade Qiao family, and he was also a proud man with extraordinary qualifications. When his strength and qualifications were sufficient, he naturally became the fourth-grade commander.

However, although the Supervision Department is responsible for supervising aristocratic families and officials across the world, it is mainly concerned with crimes that are more serious and involve a wider range of crimes, such as colluding with pirates, collaborating with the enemy and treason, conspiring to rebel, local conflagrations, and the destruction of aristocratic families. Major cases like this.

The Inspection Department has always been too lazy to deal with matters such as tax evasion.

This time, if it hadn't been for the order from the chief assistant, he wouldn't have bothered to come. After searching secretly for so many days, he found nothing useful. Naturally, he was a little impatient.

"Zhang Ling Qiao's doubts are also Zhou's doubts." On the other side, Zhou Lide, the commander of the Criminal Law Department, also spoke in a deep voice, with a hint of doubt on his serious face, "I remember that before the investigation started, Zhang Ling Zheng swore , saying that the results would be available soon. But now almost a month has passed, and the problem has still not been found. How is Zheng Zhangling going to explain it? "

"What are you two commanders so worried about?" Zheng Hongwen didn't seem to be worried at all. He took a slow sip of the tea and said, "Flies don't bite seamless eggs. The officials of our Sancai Division have all been specially trained. Yes, no matter how well the Wang family covers it up, they can't escape the sharp eyes of the officials. We have only checked the accounts for ten years, and there are still many that have not been checked, so we just have to wait."

Zheng Hongwen is the commander-in-chief of Sancai Division and the deputy to Meng Yuanbai, the director of Sancai Division.

This time, the investigation into Wang's tax evasion was organized by the Sancai Department, in collaboration with the Supervision Department and the Criminal Law Department. He was naturally the leader among the three.

Although he appeared to be very calm now, in fact, he was no less anxious than the two of them. Or rather, he was actually far more anxious than the two of them.

If he hadn't been the host and had to hold on to the place, he would have stood up and started spinning around anxiously by now.

As the fourth elder of the fourth-grade Zheng family, he was born in a straight lineage, and his status within the Zheng family was actually not very high. The family trained him back then because there was no other suitable candidate except himself. Nowadays, the new generation of the family's prodigy intends to get involved in officialdom, and the ancestor intends to wait for the other party to advance to the Purple Mansion realm before replacing him.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that he has not made much achievements in official circles over the years.

This time, he specifically asked the director for the task of assisting in the investigation of Wang's tax evasion case. He wanted to take this opportunity to make a great contribution and dispel his ancestor's idea of ​​replacing him.

Qiao Hongbo has not paid much attention to tax evasion and does not understand the situation of today's aristocratic families, but he does understand it. In his opinion, how could any aristocratic family avoid tax evasion?

The Wang family has so many industries under its name, from the Wang family's Weapon Refining General Department, to the Wang family's Alchemy General Department, to the Wang's Grain and Seed Trading Company, etc. Each of these industries handles a huge amount of money every year. Is it possible that everyone can still be honest? Integrity means not committing fraud?

Even if the Wang family’s own properties are strictly managed and their accounts kept, what about the joint properties they jointly established with their in-laws?

From Shouda Trading Company, Changning United Manufacturing Company, to Qingluo Development Corporation, etc., there are many industries jointly founded by Wang and his in-laws. In each industry, there are many members of the in-law family working in it. Wang's influence on Their management obviously cannot be as strict as the management of the clan members.

Joint industries like this have always been the hardest hit areas for tax evasion. As long as you make a casual investigation, you will definitely be able to find the problem.

At that time, all you have to do is report it directly to the top, and the credit will be the same as picking it up for free.

When paying taxes anywhere, a copy of the detailed accounts is required, and the Changning Wang family naturally has one. So as soon as Zheng Hongwen got the warrant from Meng Yuanbai, he immediately transferred the detailed accounts of the Changning Wang family's tax payments in previous years from the treasurer and moved them directly to the hidden pile in Longzuo County.

Even colleagues from the Supervision Department and Criminal Law Department who came to cooperate in handling the case were pulled over by him.

The purpose is that once the evidence of Wang's tax evasion is verified, people can be immediately sent to seal off Wang's various properties and freeze Wang's assets.

After all, soldiers are valuable and quick.

If he were a step too late, Wang might have been able to secretly transfer his assets.

However, he thought about all kinds of details, and even thought about how to reply when Director Meng praised him, but he did not expect that there would be no problem found in Wang's accounts.

After almost a month of investigation, they not only failed to find any evidence of tax evasion by the Changning Wang family, but they proved again and again that the Changning Wang family was a model family who abided by the law and paid taxes on time.

Is there something wrong with the Changning Wang family?

Why don't you take advantage of the benefits that are right at hand?

Zheng Hongwen cursed his mother secretly in his heart, and his hands shaking the tea foam were trembling. He almost hated the Wang family of Changning to death.

He is now being roasted on the fire. If Wang Shi of Changning really can't find any problem, his face and dignity will be lost. Even this collaboration between the three companies will turn into a joke!

Fortunately, it's not the last minute yet.

Moreover, the tax officials who went to make an unannounced visit have not returned yet.

The tax officers who were sent to make an unannounced investigation this time were all veterans. No matter how beautiful the Changning Wang family's accounts were, it would be difficult to keep them clean in private. And even if there is only a little loophole, there is a high probability that the problem can be discovered through secret visits.

For now, we can only hope that they can bring us some good news.

"Commander, the tax officer who made an unannounced visit is back."

Suddenly, a figure in green official robes flew up from below, walked over quickly, and whispered something in Zheng Hongwen's ear.

Zheng Hongwen's eyes lit up: "Oh? Bring them here quickly."

The official went down immediately.

Within a moment, several figures were brought into the basement from outside.

Some of these people are dressed as businessmen, some are dressed as casual cultivators, and some are dressed as rich men. In short, they are dressed in different styles and come from all walks of life. And they are all tired at the moment. They have obviously returned from the starry night.

Naturally, there are not only a few tax officers sent by Sancai Division, but they are the first batch to come back.

The two tax officials from before, an old man and a young man, were also inside.

"My subordinates Liu Bingrui/Zhang Dehai/Zhou... pay homage to the commander." Several people, including two tax officials, an old man and a young man, bowed and saluted in a respectful manner.

"No need to be polite. Thank you for your hard work."

Zheng Hongwen first expressed condolences and exchanged a few words, and then asked about what he gained from this trip.

As soon as these words came out, several tax officials looked at each other.

After a while, an older tax official spoke in embarrassment: "I'd like to inform you that during this trip to Changning Guards, we are very serious about our work and we don't dare to be negligent in the slightest, but... I'll forgive you. With little talent and little knowledge, he really couldn’t catch the Changning Wang family’s tax evasion evidence.”

"Please forgive me."

Several other tax officials also quickly apologized with their faces full of shame.

Seeing this, Zheng Hongwen's heart suddenly went cold.

He subconsciously looked at the oldest old tax official in the crowd: "Old Liu, you are known as the 'tax inspector', but you didn't even find the problem?"

"I am reporting that the Changning Wang family has indeed found no problems with the size of the fields, the number of years of cultivated land, and other matters that should be paid taxes and are easy to falsify." The old tax official answered with his hand.

Zheng Hongwen's expression suddenly became tense.

However, before his heart could completely cool down, he heard the old tax official continue: "However, my subordinates discovered another major incident. If this matter is verified, the Changning Wang family will be completely finished, and there will be no chance of recovery. possible."

Hearing this, the other tax officials looked at him in surprise. Only the little tax official looked calm.

Zheng Hongwen's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the commander, my subordinates have discovered that the Wang family of Changning is suspected of smuggling refined salt, iron ingots, grain seeds and other prohibited items to the Southern Qin Dynasty. They are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hongwen almost dropped the tea cup in his hand.

Next to them, Qiao Hongbo and Zhou Lide, who were pretending not to care but were actually eavesdropping silently, also changed their expressions and instantly became extremely serious.

"Tax Officer Liu, this matter is not trivial. Do you have the evidence?" Qiao Hongbo, the head of the Supervision Department, put down his tea cup and asked solemnly, "You should know that falsely accusing a sixth-grade family of the current dynasty is a serious crime."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qiao. Your subordinate knew that the matter was serious. Therefore, after discovering that something was wrong, he immediately recorded the evidence with the simple photo disk he carried with him." The old tax officer said as he took out a jade gui from the storage ring. Carefully handed it to Zheng Hongwen in front of him.

This Yugui is not as powerful as the Tianji photo disk, which can record large sections of three-dimensional images and sounds. Instead, it can only record some simple images. However, at the critical moment, this piece of evidence has already been opened for investigation.

Zheng Hongwen immediately opened it and started reading.

Qiao Hongbo and Zhou Lide also came over.

After a while, Zheng Hongwen's expression changed completely: "Okay, okay! No wonder the Changning Wang family's accounts are so beautiful, and even taxes are paid in full every year. It turns out that this is to cover up this smuggling business! What a good one. Changning Wang family! What a role model for a family who abides by the law and pays taxes on time!"

"This matter is of great importance, and it is already within the scope of authority of my Supervision Department." Qiao Hongbo's face turned livid, "I will write a report to Director Meng now and ask Beijing to intervene in this matter."

"Collaboration with the enemy and treason." Zhou Lide's face was also extremely dark, "This Changning Wang family is really brave!"

While talking, the three of them had ordered people to prepare pen and paper and quickly started writing the report.

This matter is of great importance, so it is natural to take the expedited channel.

Soon, six jade-clawed green doves flew out of Sanxian Village, submerged into the clouds, and soared towards the capital city.

Like blue lightning.

…

Daqian returned to Longcheng and settled in the Duke's mansion.

Under Wang Shouzhe's casual management, the Four Seasons Garden has become more vibrant without even realizing it.

The jasper bamboo in the summer bamboo forest is usually a century old and can be processed into jasper bamboo flutes, bamboo chairs, mats, jasper bamboo baskets, etc., and has good economic value.

Originally, there were hundreds of bamboos growing in this acre of Jasper Ling Bamboo Forest. However, it had only been cultivated for a few decades, and the color was still green and tender, making it unfit for practical use.

But after Wang Shouzhe took care of it in his spare time, it was now bright green in color and as crystal clear as water, as if he had grown rapidly from a childish girl to a mature and lustful young woman.

A gust of breeze blew by, and the mature jasper bamboos rustled and swayed. The long jasper hairpin-like bamboo leaves fell gracefully. These bamboo leaves were also woven into some handicrafts, with vivid colors and long-lasting durability.

In the gaps in the bamboo forest, some tender bamboo shoots have poked out their pointed heads, as if they have entered the breeding season. The gardeners and servants in the courtyard carefully wielded jade hoes to dig out fresh bamboo shoots.

This is a good ingredient. Whether it is used to stew bacon or stir-fry with fresh pickles, it is always delicious.

Under the jasper bamboo forest.

Next to a pond where summer lotus blooms, there is a chessboard made of carved and polished stones. The chessboard is criss-crossed and the black and white pieces are scattered in an orderly manner.

Wang Shouzhe, who was wearing a loose white robe and holding a white bag in his hand, had a calm expression on his extremely handsome face, and his eyes were as deep as the stars, calm and natural.

As Wang Shouzhe becomes more mature, he becomes more and more charming as a mature man, as if he is a descendant of an immortal and has a detached temperament.

However, the man he was playing chess with was also quite handsome and tall, with a purple robe on his body, a jade crown on his head, and a short and capable beard on his chin. His appearance was dignified and majestic. He was obviously a big shot in charge of power.

In terms of pure appearance, there are few who can be better than him in the officialdom of Daqian.

He held the sunspot in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he dropped it with a "pop" sound, showing a confident look of victory: "Shouzhe, you fell into the trap. The one just now was just a bait."

Wang Shouzhe took a look at the situation and saw that the situation was over and there was no chance of a comeback. He abandoned his son with a cool gesture and said: "Ancestor Zhou Hui has a far-reaching layout and thoughtful thinking. Shouzhe admires it."

This majestic and mature man who was playing chess with Wang Shouzhe was clearly the magical species of Dingguo Duke's generation - Wang Zhouhui.

He is over five hundred years old and is in the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. He only needs to accumulate some knowledge and polish his realm before he can try to reach the magical power realm.

It's just that despite his majestic and official appearance, he is actually a fourth-rank commander of the Engineering Department, the kind who only has a name but no real power.

It can be seen that Emperor Longchang was harsh and suppressed the Duke Dingguo at that time.

"Alas, Shouzhe, you are such a bad chess player." Wang Yuchang, the head of the family who was watching the game, said with regret on his face, "There was a clear hope of winning just now, but you didn't listen to me. Go, go, stay on the sidelines. This one I'll win for you and let Uncle One Hundred and Seventy-Three see how awesome you are."

"Haha, Yuchang, don't you have to be the head of the family for a few years before you start to lose your temper." Wang Zhouhui smoothed his short beard and glanced away with contempt, "Come here and let your one hundred and seventy-third uncle teach you how to behave."

The Daqian Wang family members have been getting along with Wang Shouzhe for a long time, and they have unknowingly picked up some unique vocabulary.

Naturally, both of them were better at chess than Wang Shouzhe. The game was thrilling. After several sudden changes, Wang Zhouhui won half the piece in the end, showing that he is still very spicy.

Wang Shouzhe watched it with great interest, but it was a pity that his mind was never on the chess game, his chess skills were very poor, and he was tortured thousands of times at home by Jiang Yusong.

At this moment.

A general from the Celestial Realm family arrived in a hurry: "Report to the head of the family, elder. Meng Yuanbai, the director of the Sancai Department, Zhao Zhicai, the commander of the Criminal Law Department, and Chen Jinghu, the commander of the Supervision Department, led a group of experts from the three departments to come to our house. , saying that they wanted to arrest the culprit, the head of the Shouzhe family."

"Apprehend the criminal? It turned out that the three departments were cooperating~" Wang Zhouhui and Wang Yuchang's expressions changed drastically, "Did you say they committed something?"

"I didn't say anything," the general replied, "Now Ancestor Zhou Hua will come forward and arrange them in the reception hall."

"Ancestor Zhou Hui, Yuchang." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Let's go and take a look, won't we understand?"

Subsequently.

A group of people arrived at the reception hall of the main house with solemn expressions. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Wang Zhouhua entertaining visitors from the third division. In order to inquire about information, his expression was somewhat flattering.

When they saw Wang Shouzhe and others arriving, they immediately stared at Wang Shouzhe with burning eyes, and there seemed to be some evil intention in their expressions.

"Hahaha~" Wang Zhouhui smiled heartily and walked forward, "Zhou Hui has met Director Meng, Zhang Ling Zhao, and Zhang Ling Chen." He is also the commander of the Engineering Department, but he is a commander with no real power.

It's just that even if Wang Zhouhui holds a false position, he is still a magical species at the peak of the late Zifu realm. The future Duke of Dingguo has full strength. The powerful chiefs and commanders, even Zhao Zhicai of the Zhao family, did not dare to take advantage of Wang Zhouhui in front of him.

The three of them stood up and returned the courtesy, which was full of courtesy.

After the head of the Yuchang family also greeted them, he invited everyone to sit down and drink tea for those who should drink tea. This is the Dingguo Palace. Even if the three divisions come together to arrest someone, they cannot be allowed to run arrogantly.

Following the rules, after drinking a few sips of tea and chatting.

Wang Yuchang then coughed twice and got down to the topic: "Director Meng, may I ask our Dingguo Duke's clan member Shouzhe, what on earth did he commit? Do we need to trouble the three divisions to work together to arrest him?"

"Little Duke, the head of the Yuchang family." Meng Yuanbai stood up and cupped his hands slightly, "Someone reported that the Wang family of Changning had engaged in tax evasion when running the family business. However, during the joint investigation of the three companies, they accidentally discovered The Wang family is suspected of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy."

"That's why I came to summon Wang Shouzhe to the Criminal Law Department to explain some matters."

Because Wang Zhouhui was unable to take charge of his idle duties, the outside world usually respected Wang Zhouhui with the honorific title of Little Duke.

"Suspicion?" Wang Zhouhui said with a cold expression, "Only suspicion, you want to arrest Shouzhe into the Criminal Law Department? Do you think our Duke Dingguo is so easy to bully?"

"The king's order." Zhao Zhicai said in a sinister tone, "If we were not sure, how could we have the three divisions come together to get the person? To tell you the truth, according to the intelligence we have, what happened to Wang's stall in your Changning branch My son is very big. If you know what I am doing, just step aside honestly, otherwise your Duke Dingguo's mansion will not be involved and lose face."

Zhao Zhicai is an elite member of the Zhao family in Daqian, and he has always been at odds with the Wang family. Although it is true that Wang Zhouhui has supernatural powers, doesn't the Zhao family have one? The Zhao family is the inheritor of the Four Divine Powers and is far more powerful than the current Wang family.

"Brother Zhou Hui." Chen Jinghu also said solemnly, "The details of this matter cannot be disclosed for the time being, but it is true that during the investigation, our internal personnel discovered that the Wang family was hiding evil and being suspected of collaborating with the enemy for smuggling. According to the Daqian According to criminal law, we have the right to interrogate Wang Shouzhe. If you forcefully stop him, you will be charged with intentionally obstructing law enforcement."

The Daqian Chen family is a latecomer to the third-grade family. The family has been able to complete the alternation of dual magical powers, and its overall strength is much stronger than the current Daqian Wang family.

Therefore, Chen's mentality was that she looked down upon the strength of Duke Dingguo's mansion, and envied Duke Dingguo's title.

Discovered during an internal investigation? This is not going to be easy! If it were just an outsider who reported the case, they could still prevent Wang Shouzhe from being taken away for questioning on the pretext that the other party was suspected of setting up a trap.

The faces of Wang Zhouhui and Wang Yuchang became a little ugly.

"Shou Zhe's affairs are too much for you elders to worry about." Wang Shouzhe smiled calmly, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "As the saying goes, the pure will become pure and the turbid will become turbid. Shouzhe asked himself that he is a law-abiding and responsible citizen. Come and help with the investigation. It doesn’t matter. I believe that the Sancai Department, the Criminal Law Department and the Supervision Department will definitely give justice to Shouzhe after investigating the truth."

"Shouzhe, this..." Both Wang Zhouhui and Wang Yuchang were a little reluctant, fearing that the other party would catch some omissions and hold on to them.

And now His Majesty's attitude towards the Wang family has always been to suppress him whenever he can. Even if he made no mistake, he would always glare and vent his anger. No one is without faults...

"Okay, okay." Meng Yuanbai praised with a smile, "Since you think you are innocent, then come with us to assist in the investigation. But don't worry, if there is no evidence..."

"Wait!"

Before Meng Yuanbai finished speaking, he was interrupted by a vigorous and powerful old man's voice.

A sense of coercion, like a mountain descending, enveloped the Wang's reception hall, making everyone feel panicked and as if a disaster was imminent.

An old man in rich attire, with a tall and tall figure, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, as if the space had been torn apart. His majestic eyes swept across the three divisions: "You juniors, come to my Duke Dingguo's mansion to pick up someone. Have you ever asked my father-in-law for his opinion?"

Ancestor Dingguo Gong Yinda!

Meng Yuanbai and the other three people's hearts trembled, no one dared to neglect, and they hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to Duke Ding." The title of Duke was personally conferred by Emperor Ziwei Xuandu. In terms of status and rarity, it was even higher than that of the prince. Half a chip.

There are eleven princes in Daqian Kingdom, but only two princes.

Even if His Majesty meets Duke Dingguo, he will not show disrespect openly. Instead, he will be kind and polite to show respect.

"Ancestor, you are finally out of seclusion." The head of the Yuchang family breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted with Zhou Hui, Zhou Hua and Wang Shouzhe.

This time Patriarch Yinda's retreat time was slightly longer than expected, but fortunately he came out at the most critical moment.

"Are you Shouzhe?" Duke Dingguo ignored the juniors and looked at Wang Shouzhe kindly, "I have seen Li Yao and Zong An, both of whom are rare jade of immortal quality. I have long thought about it. , How charming is Shouzhe who can raise such a pair of children?"

"When I saw him today, Shouzhe's appearance was beyond my imagination."

"The Duke of the State has given me such ridiculous compliments, I am so ashamed of myself." Wang Shouzhe saluted with a dignified manner, "Wang Shouzhe of Changning, pays homage to the Duke of the State."

"Without any courtesy, it would be too harsh to call the Duke of the State. Let's call him Patriarch Yin Da." Duke Ding's face was red with a smile and he was full of energy. It was obvious that he had made some progress in retreat this time.

"Shouzhe has met Patriarch Yinda." Wang Shouzhe followed the good path.

Meng Yuanbai and the other three looked at each other in shock. They also heard that Duke Dingguo had not come out of seclusion, so they seized the opportunity to come and get him. But I didn't expect that at this juncture, Duke Ding would come out of seclusion.

But even so, they have no reason to give up.

Among those present, Meng Yuanbai, a third-grade official, had the highest official position. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward: "My lord, we are only acting in accordance with legal procedures. Your lord is the pillar of the country. Please don't embarrass us on behalf of your majesty. On errands for Da Gan."

"Don't blame the country's righteousness for the country's righteousness." Dingguo Gong glanced coldly, "The Wang family of Changning is a sixth-grade family. Even if there is a crime suspect, it should be under the jurisdiction of the county. For a sixth-grade family, your central government The three companies are cooperating and going to war. Who are they working for? Doesn’t my father have any idea? "

Meng Yuanbai was so horrified that he spat out, but he finally had some confidence and said bravely: "My lord. In any case, it is true that the Wang family is highly suspected of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy. According to the law, we We have the right to interrogate Wang Shouzhe, the head of the Wang family in Changning."

"Okay, you follow the law, right?" Duke Ding sneered, "Then you know that as the Duke, I can unconditionally guarantee the person, right? If you want to take someone, ask His Majesty to issue the decree in person, otherwise whoever comes will be does not work."

"My lord, please think twice." Meng Yuanbai was a little anxious, "As the lord of the country, you naturally have the right to be the guarantor, but if Wang Shouzhe is found guilty, you will also be implicated. At least you will have to investigate the unknown person and cover up the suspect. The crime will definitely affect your reputation."

"Hmph, is it possible that my Duke can still watch you frame up my Wang family?" Ding Guogong said with a cold face, "I abide by my principles and will not be guilty of collaborating with the enemy and smuggling. Why don't you get out now~"

"Wait!" At this time, Wang Shouzhe came out to interrupt and said with cupped hands, "Shouzhe thanks the Duke for his protection, but Shouzhe considers himself innocent and is not afraid of being interrogated."

"Shouzhe, I believe in your character, but the members of the Zhao family cannot trust you." Duke Dingguo's expression softened a lot, "God knows how many dirty tricks they have at their disposal."

"My lord, Yuan Bai will enforce the law impartially." Meng Yuanbai argued.

In the stalemate, the head of the Yuchang family came out to smooth things over and said: "You are all well-known figures in the officialdom and aristocratic families. I believe that you will not resort to dirty tricks indiscriminately. Shouzhe also argued that he did not smuggle and collaborate with the enemy. In this case, it is better to give up. I won the first round. If you want to ask according to the regulations, just ask at our Dingguo Duke's Mansion."

Meng Yuanbai and others hesitated for a moment. Judging from the Duke's attitude, they probably couldn't take Wang Shouzhe away today.

However, this case is very clear, and interrogating Wang Shouzhe will only speed up the establishment of the case. As long as the inspection team obtains evidence, let alone Dingguo Gong, the Wang family cannot be protected, even if His Majesty wants to, it will be difficult to protect the Wang family.

Immediately, the three of them briefly made eye contact. Meng Yuanbai came out to speak: "In that case, I will give the Duke a face today. Head Shouzhe, I hope you will not let down the expectations of the Duke. If you have any problems, tell the truth, maybe your Wang family will still have a chance of survival. "

Subsequently.

The Sancai Department, the Criminal Law Department, and the Supervision Department were questioning Wang Shouzhe in the Wang family's main residence. Wang Shouzhe naturally spoke truthfully and refused to admit anything he had not done.

Naturally, Sansi returned home defeated.

However, although Wang Shouzhe has Ding Guo Gong as his guarantee, he has to stay in Ding Guo Gong's mansion for the time being until the case is investigated clearly.

Wang Shouzhe has no objection to this. He is also a homebody anyway, and he likes to grow flowers and grass, or cultivate Wang Lixian.

Four Seasons Garden, night.

Several maids entered Wang Shouzhe's temporary study.

When there was no one around, their eyes looked at Wang Shouzhe with enthusiasm.

"See Immortal Lord."

Under the leadership of the leader, they must bow to the ground.

"Wang Mei." Wang Shouzhe held the three of them back with a burst of mysterious energy, frowning slightly, "Speak as you say, don't be so polite." Even the emperor was not in the mood to kowtow, so he let it go.

And every time he heard the word "immortal master", he would get goosebumps all over his body. Fortunately, Wang Mei was happy about it.

"Immortal Master." Wang Mei, who was dressed as a maid, said with a faint look in her eyes, "Okra and winter bamboo shoots are girls selected by my subordinates. It is my subordinates who raised them from childhood and cultivated them into talents. They There is no such thing as loyalty..."

"While the Immortal Lord is trapped in the shallows for the time being, and the mistress is not around, they can accompany him and serve him for a while. They know a lot, and they are very good at playing, playing and singing. They will not let the Immortal Lord down when he takes care of it."

Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat, Wang Mei, what are you thinking? If Lan wasn't around, would he be able to do whatever he wanted? Immediately, he coughed twice and said seriously: "Wang Mei, my relationship with Ruolan is stronger than that of Jin, and we don't need this."

"Immortal Master, I understand." Wang Mei said with eager eyes, "How about I wait for an hour and I can change..."

"Stop it, stop it." Wang Shouzhe said with a dark face, "I came to you this time for a serious matter."

Wang Mei's eyes were slightly disappointed, but she immediately cheered up and said, "Immortal Lord, please give me your instructions."

"During the planning process this time, I didn't expect that Patriarch Yinda would suddenly leave seclusion, disrupting the rhythm, and the heat was a bit lacking." Wang Shouzhe said with a straight face, "But he is also concerned about me, so this matter is natural You can't blame him. Now, use all the power you can use to hype up Wang's suspicion of, no, smuggling and collaborating with the enemy."

"If necessary, we can also speculate on the shortcomings of Dingguo Gongfu's protection."

"Yes, I understand." Wang Mei's eyes were a little hot, "I dare to ask the immortal master, how much heat do you want?"

“All hot searches included.”

…
