"oh?"
Zhao Jun became interested. He squatted down and opened the box. Seeing the things inside, he said happily, "Are these gifts for me?"
"If Zhisi likes it, that's fine."
Ma Zhongfu was delighted to see that he seemed interested.
Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Yan Liben's Wushan Tu is not here, otherwise Ben Zhisi might really be tempted."
Wushan Map?
Ma Zhongfu's face changed drastically in an instant, and then he forced a smile and said, "Chief Zhi, you're joking."
"Originally, there was really no way to arrest you. It's all because of the kindness of the late emperor and the government. They insisted on treating corrupt officials with kindness. As long as they haven't committed any other serious crimes, taking a little money and asking for a bribe is not a big deal."
Zhao Jun stood up, turned his head and looked at Ma Zhongfu with a smile, "So your brother Ma Yi made so much money from Kaifeng Prefecture, giving you hundreds of thousands of strings of cash, but he really couldn't bring you down. But who made you greedy? You even took someone's ancestral paintings, ruining their family and giving me the evidence. I caught you. This corruption and bribery is not a big deal, but using power to rob and plunder is a big deal. Both of you, come with me."
Ma Zhongfu suddenly panicked.
Thanks to Zhao Zhen's tolerance towards corrupt officials, embezzlement of public funds was not a big deal unless there was someone like Teng Zijing who was specifically responsible for it.
But using public power to ruin a wealthy businessman and then steal his ancestral paintings is another matter.
If the news gets out, he will really be demoted and dismissed from his position.
So he hurriedly said, "Master Zhi, if you are willing to be so kind as to give me this painting, I would like to give it to you!"
Zhao Jun was furious at the time and said, "Stupid!"
"Even if your house is raided, it's still mine!"
After saying that.
He shouted, "Arrest them and confiscate their property!"
In an instant, Di Qing and others around rushed over and grabbed the two horses.
Immediately afterwards, the inspectors outside rushed in. For a moment, the Ma Mansion was in chaos and screams were heard everywhere.
