Chapter 446: Crisis
Zhao Xiaokun sat in the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau. A police officer sat across from him, placed a stack of photos on the table, and asked, "Tell me, where is your brother? Where are Qin Baobao and Qin Xiaomi?"
Zhao Xiaokun looked down and saw photos of his younger brother Zhao Xiaofei, Qin Baobao and Qin Xiaomi.
Moreover, Qin Baobao bowed his head and saluted Zhao Xiaofei, while Qin Xiaomi knelt on the ground. They were both wearing Ming Dynasty clothes, so it was obvious that the photo was taken in the Ming Dynasty.
He immediately understood why he had been invited here. Something was wrong with Jiang Xiaomei! He hadn't expected her to be a traitor! Why had she done this? Now that she was back, what was the point of giving the police these photos right away? What benefits would she stand to gain?
"What? What are you thinking? You know our policy. Your brother is now committing the crime of harboring a criminal!
Of course, as a married man, I understand. He wanted to donate a national treasure to the country, but it was sold by his wife and sister-in-law. He definitely wanted to protect it. If I weren't a government employee, I think I would do the same!
But the law of the country is ruthless, and he must come back to explain the problem. And in a situation like his, the country will not make it too difficult for him. After all, he has made great contributions to the country's cultural relics. As long as he hands over Qin Baobao and Qin Xiaomi, he will not go to jail. "The police said.
"I really don't know anything about him! He must have done it secretly behind my back, otherwise I would definitely stop him or persuade him to surrender." Zhao Xiaokun looked at the police seriously and said.
"Okay! I believe what you say! Since you don't want to talk about your brother's problem, let's talk about the problem of your company's large amount of funds coming from unknown sources!" said the police.
"The funds are unknown? That's impossible! The company's start-up capital was earned from selling those cultural relics. Later, we bought a gold mine and developed it to make more money. We paid taxes in full and on time!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Really? Okay! Then where did all the supplies you bought go? I didn't see anyone taking them away, but after a while, the things disappeared. Can you tell me why? And people from your company said that these things were sold to poor countries in Africa? But I went to the customs to investigate, and I never saw any export documents from your company. Please explain!" said the policeman, spreading his hands.
"Let's wait until my lawyer comes to discuss this issue! I don't want to answer your questions now. If it's about tax evasion, you can ask the tax bureau to check my company's accounts. My company can withstand the inspection!" Zhao Xiaokun stopped talking after saying this.
At Zhao Xiaofei's home, Liu Aiping was crying while holding Xiaofei's son Zhao Qiji, while Yuan Fei was comforting her while holding her own children.
"How can I not be anxious! Xiaofei actually protected the two sisters. What is he trying to do? Does he have to destroy the family?" Liu Aiping said crying.
"Mother-in-law, Xiaokun will be fine. Xiaofei's case shouldn't be a big deal either. It was Xiaofei who wanted to donate those cultural relics, and the country won't make things difficult for him. As long as he comes back and hands them over, everything will be fine." Yuan Fei said.
"Xiao Fei is so stupid! I will lock him up when he comes back. I will tell him to find someone else to marry as soon as possible. He won't be allowed to leave if he doesn't get married this time." Liu Aiping cried.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Xiaofei had been lying in the palace for three months. His body had basically recovered, and Doctor Zhang had taken care of him personally during these months.
"How is it? How do you feel about your recovery?" asked Doctor Zhang.
"Much better, thank you very much!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Why thank me? You brought me to the Ming Dynasty, and I felt like I was alive again. I have my career here, and I feel very accomplished. I also have a lot of apprentices who will accompany me and take care of me until the end of my life.
"Recently, several Portuguese and French missionaries have wanted to learn from me, saying that Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. I feel like I'm on the verge of becoming a Buddha or saint here. What could I possibly be dissatisfied with?" Doctor Zhang said happily.
"It seems that you are the happiest to come to the Ming Dynasty. Look at me? After traveling through time, although I married a princess and became a prince, I always face failure and betrayal again and again. I feel so powerless." Zhao Xiaofei said dejectedly.
"Although I don't understand politics, I can see that the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was too complicated. With your qualifications, you still have a long way to go if you want to turn the tide and win the respect of all the heroes in the world.
"You're using modern technology to suppress them. It's like someone who doesn't know martial arts, but they're just strong, relying on that strength to temporarily suppress them. But eventually, their strength will run out, and they'll have to resort to clever tactics!" said Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang's words made Zhao Xiaofei feel like he suddenly understood something. He was not like the time travelers in other books, who had no ambition or brains. He always took one step at a time, treating the symptoms one by one.
As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. If you want peace in the world, you must make everyone in the world obey you and fear you. Only then can the world be peaceful.
After leaving the palace, Zhao Xiaofei sat beside Princess Zhaoren's coffin and said, "My dear wife! I'm going back. I'm going to settle the score with that bitch named Jiang first, and then I'll come back to deal with Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong slipped through the net back then, and this time if we catch him we must skin him alive!" After saying this, Zhao Xiaofei left the Ming Dynasty and returned to modern society.
In the Ming Dynasty, just a few days after Kunxing ascended the throne, the ink of the edict had not yet dried when Zhang Xianzhong came out to slap him in the face.
According to reports from Yunnan and Guizhou, Zhang Xianzhong appears to have stormed in from U-Tsang. He now has 30,000 men, almost all of them elite soldiers. He has also acquired a large number of firearms from the foreigners.
However, the current imperial court is no longer the same imperial court as before, and the remaining Ming troops are all elite soldiers who have fought in many battles.
At this time, Fang Xinyu, who had not been heard from for a long time, suddenly submitted a memorial to the court, requesting to lead troops to quell the rebellion.
At the beginning, Zhou Shuai Wanshan and he, the three of them followed Zhao Xiaofei to the Ming Dynasty together, and now he is the only one alive. He is the most suitable to lead the new army and the army to overcome difficulties.
Kunxing put down the memorial and asked the female official beside him, "Do you think I should agree to this?"
The female official beside her was named Pang, also a descendant of an official. Although not as experienced as Liu Rushi, she was more familiar with the procedures of the imperial court.
"Your Majesty! We can let General Fang lead the White Spear Soldiers to quell the rebellion, and then let Li Deliang or Mao Jiu lead 10,000 new troops or the Conquering the Narrowness Army to assist." said Female official Pang.
Kunxing immediately understood what it meant. In fact, it was to let Fang Xinyu take Toast's private soldiers to fight against Zhang Xianzhong's bandits.
The imperial court brought 10,000 new troops or overcoming difficulties troops to assist and also to perform surveillance.
"Alright, draft an imperial decree. Have Fang Xinyu lead the White Spear Army to Yunnan and Guizhou to quell the rebellion. Let Li Deliang lead 15,000 Kenan troops to assist them in suppressing the rebellion."
