The Ming dynasty had been planning this for a long time, and they also engaged in the slave trade. A large portion of those purchased people eventually ended up in Ming hands. All of this was true; Zhang Yu simply linked it to Zhang Fu.
The fact that Zhang Fu's son and brother-in-law were involved in the incident made it much easier to handle. There was no problem in holding Zhang Fu responsible.
"How's that North Korean official?" Zhang Yu looked at Song Xiang and asked, "Is there nothing wrong with him?"
There was a key figure in the whole plan, an official from the Joseon Criminal Department. It was with his cooperation that the business went so smoothly.
It’s just that the official knew nothing from the beginning to the end. Since Zhang Fu’s brother-in-law and son took action, he thought it was Zhang Fu who did it.
There is no need to worry about this aspect at all. His confession can only drag Zhang Fu into the water. This is called having both human and material evidence.
"No problem, all the tails have been cut off." Song Xiang shook her head and said, "I guess we should catch him in the next two days."
"Keep an eye on him and don't let him cause any trouble." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "If nothing happens to this guy, then basically nothing will happen."
"I understand." Song Xiang nodded and said, "But have you seen enough? You came with me out for fun today, why are you bringing this up again? Can we not talk about this? Let's just have fun."
"Of course, no problem." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I heard that a new Daming restaurant has opened up ahead. Let's go check it out. They say they serve excellent Yangzhou cuisine. Let's go try it and see if their food is authentic. If it is, we'll patronize it often in the future."
Song Xiang smiled and said, "That's perfect. I haven't eaten hometown food for a long time. Let's see if they can satisfy my appetite. If they are good, I will come often in the future."
Neither of them mentioned business anymore. They talked and laughed as they walked towards the restaurant in front, ready to eat.
Not far away, Zheng Xuhong also withdrew his gaze.
Zhang Yu saw him, and he naturally saw Zhang Yu as well.
This situation has been going on since the Ming Dynasty and Korea jointly sent troops. Zheng Xuhong was also very upset, and this state was not suitable for getting close to others, so he did not go over.
Jin Zhengmin came out at this time, glanced at Zheng Xuhong and said, "Master Zheng has been staring at that place for a while, did you find anything?"
"No." Zheng Xuhong shook her head and said, "I just saw someone I know. It's possible I was mistaken."
"Really?" Kim Jong-min smiled and said nothing.
This can only fool fools.
Glancing at Zheng Xuhong, Jin Zhengmin said, "Is everything over here? Should we go to the Criminal Court now?"
"Is it confirmed?" Zheng Xuhong looked at Jin Zhengmin and asked in a deep voice.
"Confirmed." Jin Zhengmin nodded and said, "The gold, silver and jewelry in his house have been confiscated, and there are quite a few valuable items. You'll see later. This person is not innocent at all. Let's go and arrest him."
"Okay." Zheng Xuhong had no choice but to agree and follow Jin Zhengmin to the next house.
Two hours later, at the Korean Royal Palace.
The King of Joseon has not had a good time recently, mainly because of the struggle for power.
The elders have been restless lately, charging forward like crazy. The younger generation, on the other hand, has been in a state of panic because of Zhang Fu's incident and is now in a very passive position.
As the case becomes more and more complicated, more and more evidence is found, and more and more people are involved, the King of Korea becomes even more upset.
On the one hand there is anger, on the other hand there is helplessness.
He was angry because he hated these officials. I have been so good to you and valued you. Is there any shortage of money and food in your family? Haven't I given you everything I should have given you?
Even the business you guys do, I turn a blind eye to it. You guys come and go, and you're surrounded by people, isn't that enough?
You are greedy and want to levy heavy taxes. How dare you make money from anything?
Unfortunately, the King of Joseon had no way of suppressing such a scandal. The elders attacked frantically, and he didn't even have the strength to resist.
Feeling depressed and angry, the King of Korea has been in a bad mood for the past two days. He has taken gas-clearing pills for several days but they have no effect.
Looking at Zheng Xuhong who walked in from outside, the King of Korea raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Xuhong nodded and said respectfully.
"Did Kim Jong-min come with you?" the King of North Korea asked Zheng Xuhong.
He wanted to hear Zheng Xuhong say no, but it was impossible.
"Yes, Your Majesty. He came with me." Zheng Xuhong said.
The king and his minister looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces, and they wished they could strangle the old man to death.
How come he's so healthy at such an old age? How come he doesn't look tired even though he works so hard all day?
How can I make him sick from exhaustion? If he gets sick from exhaustion, then nothing will happen.
The old guy is jumping around all the time and can't even do anything. It's really troublesome.
If only this old guy were dead.
However, both the emperor and his ministers understood that this old man could not die. If he died at this time, it would be a big trouble.
