"Ding! Congratulations to the host for solving the Tingzhou tax and silver case. All the main criminals and accomplices have been arrested. The reward for the case has begun to be calculated.”
"Ding! The Tingzhou tax case has been settled. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete Black Tortoise True Technique.”
"Do you want to extract it immediately?"
The death of Prince Ning did not mean that the tax and silver case would be completely solved. Other criminals involved in the case would also need to be tried.
Zhang Chen spent three days interrogating all these criminals.
The officials of the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Imperial Censorate who were not implicated could only watch from the sidelines.
They watched as the criminals revealed everything under Zhang Chen's interrogation. It was as if they had seen a ghost!
They had been officials for many years, but they had never seen such an honest criminal!
To what extent?
They were so honest that they would confess to other crimes that had nothing to do with the Tingzhou tax and silver case. Even if there was no evidence for some cases, they would take the initiative to expose themselves.
Thinking about it carefully, the court officials who were watching knew that it was not that these people were honest, but that Zhang Chen's methods were too terrifying!
Relying on his terrifying interrogation methods, Zhang Chen was listed as the most dangerous person and the most untouchable person by all the officials in a short period of time.
After all, who didn't have a handle on an official?
As long as there was something on her, she would be worried that someone would dig it out.
Once they dug it out, they would definitely forget about getting promoted and getting rich. It would be good enough if they could keep their lives.
After interrogating all the criminals, the system notification rang out.
Zhang Chen sighed and felt a little regretful.
He felt that Prince Ning's death was very suspicious. A Prince who was preparing to rebel even had an elite army loyal to the Imperial Family and responsible for guarding the Imperial City, as well as half of the officials of the Imperial Court.
With so many good cards in his hands, he did not even have the courage to take a gamble. How dare such a person rebel?
Isn't that contradictory?
Perhaps he was a conflicted person, but he wasn't even afraid of death. Why would he be afraid of being arrested?
Finally, there was the biggest doubt.
After searching the entire Ning Imperial Residence, they did not even find a single letter.
No matter if it was received or sent, there was not a single one!
If Prince Ning was really the mastermind behind the scenes, he should at least keep evidence of communication with the officials, so as to prevent the officials who sided with him from biting back.
After all, it was a great merit to expose a prince who was plotting a rebellion!
Zhang Chen thought about it and still felt that there was someone behind Prince Ning.
However, since the system had determined that the Tingzhou tax case was over, then it could only be treated as the Tingzhou tax case was over.
"Perhaps the person behind Prince Ning didn't participate in the Tingzhou tax case? Was that why the case ended here? Hehe, forget it. If Prince Ning really had someone backing him, they would have a chance to fight sooner or later.”
Zhang Chen put away his messy thoughts and looked at the officials of the three divisions walking towards him. He silently chose no in his heart.
"Lord Zhang, you're really godly!"
"I have never seen such a scene in my life!”
"Lord Zhang, your methods are brilliant. I admire you, and hope to take care of you in the future.”
"I wonder if Lord Zhang is willing to get married? I have a niece, Fangling, who is eighteen years old. She is fair and beautiful, gentle and virtuous. I think she is a perfect match for you! Why don't you marry her and be a concubine?"
"Hiss! Assistant Minister Liu was really not a son. He actually betrayed his niece for him! I'm ashamed to be associated with people like you! Lord Zhang, don't listen to him. His niece is famous for being shrewish. My daughter is still the best.”
"Bah! And he said Assistant Minister Liu was not a proper son? This old thing is even more shameless, alright? In order not to be targeted by Lord Zhang, he even sold his daughter? This was too much! Lord Zhang, I have a younger sister…"
……
Zhang Chen smiled. He had expected this situation.
Working for the Emperor and catching so many corrupt officials at once, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that he would definitely be put in an important position by the Emperor.
At that time, his status would rise steadily.
However, this alone was not enough to make the officials of the three departments fawn over him.
No matter how great Zhang Chen's contribution was, he was still a constable. Even if he was promoted, he would only develop vertically.
At most, he would have more and more power to investigate the case. The power involved in other aspects would not fall on his head at all.
In other words, he could not enter the decision-making level.
Therefore, the most important thing for the court officials was to make Zhang Chen show them mercy!
The court officials fawned over Zhang Chen out of fear, not respect!
They didn't dare to openly give money, so they could only give people and women.
Even if he did not have a daughter or niece, he could still marry a goddaughter or godniece to Zhang Chen to achieve the goal of marriage.
They had already become a family. They wouldn't be staring at him anymore, right?
Zhang Chen could understand what these officials were thinking.
He smiled and waved his hand. My house is very big, and I can take in many concubines at once.”
The air suddenly fell silent!
The officials looked at Zhang Chen in shock as if they had seen a ghost!
Zhang Chen cupped his hands and walked out.
It would be a waste not to take advantage of a gift delivered to their doorstep. However, these people were all old foxes. As long as the Emperor's reward did not come, they would not be able to send their daughters and nieces.
Therefore, the most important thing now was not to talk nonsense with these people, but to go home and receive the system reward.
