Chapter 34 Confession



Wan Chao bowed his head and accepted the order: "I obey your command!"

There are quite a few officials suspected on the list, and I'm afraid the Western Factory alone would be overwhelmed.

At the beginning, Zhao Xin appointed Chen Daming as the supervisor of the East Factory and Wang Zhi as the deputy supervisor.

Chen Daming and Wang Zhi were the eunuchs who had contributed to the killing of Wang Jin last time.

There are too few characters produced by the system now, so we can only reward them based on their merits and keep them loyal.

Zhao Xin stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.

Thinking that although there was solid evidence of corruption among several officials recorded in the account book, but Liu He's name was not there, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

Having read the original novel, he knew that Liu He was a corrupt official.

However, Liu He's name was not found in the account books that were searched, so it would be difficult to convict him based on the account books.

Zhao Xin then ordered, "Continue to interrogate Liu Han and his son and find more evidence of Liu He's corruption!"

Wan Chao took the order and left.

He brought the emperor's edict, summoned people from the East and West Factories, and dispatched troops in several groups overnight to the officials' residences to arrest people.

Shen Wan had recently taken in a young and beautiful concubine. After finishing his official duties, he went straight to the concubine.

"Master, something bad has happened! A group of men in black armed with knives broke into the house and said they wanted to arrest you!"

Shen Wan was confused: "Catch me? Who is it?"

Before he finished speaking, a group of men in black rushed in and directly captured the confused Shen Wan.

"Duyou Clerk Shen Wan is suspected of corruption and bribery. The Western Depot has been ordered to arrest him!"

Shen Wan was shocked and said angrily: "You are framing me! When did I ever embezzle or accept bribes?!"

The other party sneered and said, "Liu Han has confessed everything. The evidence is irrefutable. Don't try to quibble!"

When Shen Wan heard Liu Han, his whole body froze, as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, and his arrogance was immediately extinguished.
