Under Xiao Hexin's strict orders, all soldiers of the New Army must smile and politely ask those officials to cooperate with the investigation, and there will be no torture at all.

That's right, Xiao Lotian has always been civilized for internal review, he won't beat you or scold you, he will only politely invite you into a private room for fatigue questioning.

Look at how dark it is in the single room, someone will light ten big candles, and put a few glass mirrors behind it...... Hey, what are you hiding, look here, look at us.

We are all civilized people, we don't speak foul language, we are a little abrasive at best, for example, what is your name, gender, age, position, where do you live, how many people do you have? These questions will cause us to have a brief period of amnesia, and you should not be annoyed by asking you a hundred and eighty times over and over again.

And eat and drink should also be guaranteed well, you have to make you refreshed! Want to sleep? Come on, take a cup of strong tea, you can't drink it, and if the strong tea doesn't work, you will go to the bitter coffee of foreigners.

Civilized, we want civilized interrogation.

Where have those civil officials in the Ryukyus been subjected to such torture, more than eight hours later, when Xiao Lotian rubbed his hangover eyes and got up to wash his face and eat breakfast, the first batch of confessions had been delivered to him.

Xiao Hexin's injured leg may not be able to recover completely, although he walks quickly with crutches, his injured leg is still slightly stiff, and it is very difficult to walk without the cooperation of crutches.

"Report to the Prime Minister! Ten customs officers have already confessed, and they have used their power to solicit bribes from the captain, and the 100,000-ton sea ship will become 80,000 tons as soon as they loosen it, and many high-priced goods have been deliberately marked as low-grade, and now it seems that the black hole of customs taxation is as high as 20 percent ......."

"The interrogation method taught by the prime minister is really easy to use, and if you don't beat or scold them, you can recruit them faster, I believe that there will be a steady stream of confessions sent this morning......

Xiao Lotian didn't respond directly to this matter, but asked about Xiao Hexin's leg: "Rehabilitation training is still not good? Can't you lose your crutches? If you go on like this, it seems that you have to learn from Zhuge Kongming to command the war in a wheelchair...... Sit down and eat together!"

Xiao Hexin sat on the chair, and the waiter next to him served a bowl of porridge and a plate of xiaolongbao, and Xiao Hexin, who had been boiling all night, was not polite to eat sweetly one by one.

"Okay, the prime minister's crab roe xiaolongbao is good, if my tongue is okay, this should be the crab roe and crab meat of the flower crab...... My legs don't matter, if I can really go to the battlefield in a wheelchair like Zhuge Kongming, it will also be a good story, and I will naturally become a Confucian general......"

"It's hot...... Compared to Sima Yun and Luo Huoge, I am lucky, I don't have to charge in person in the future, do you think I have taken a big advantage!"

The jokes couldn't hide Xiao Hexin's loneliness, Xiao Lotian quickly changed the topic, "What do you think about this corruption case?"

"Judging from the current confession, ninety percent of the corruption is true, Lin Yuanmiao is the head of the Ryukyu household, and the money bag of the Ryukyus is in his hand, and he doesn't dare to reach out to Lotte Yangxing, so he can only start with other businesses......"

"Customs eat some tariff rebates, that's a little money, and the real big shady is still in the project...... There are too many big projects in the Ryukyus, and although Lotte has a lot of money, it can only contract military projects, such as shipyards, Nobel explosives factories, chemical plants, and military factories...... As for other civilian projects, they can only be tendered by the society. ”

"The infrastructure project of the Nanshan Arms Depot was taken away by Japanese merchants, and the reconstruction project of Rice Street was taken away by the Fukang firm...... There are many others, and Lin Yuanmiao can naturally intervene in these civil projects, and it is not uncommon to ask for bribes......"

"In the final analysis, it is still his self-sustaining and supportive credit, which has made contributions to the prime minister's ascension and several civil strife, and all have nothing to fear......"

Xiao Letian pointed his finger at the table, "Yes, if you have merit, you have no fear, and if you have merit, you have to turn credit into money, this set of thinking has been like this for thousands of years......"

Xiao He drank the porridge in the bowl dry, wiped his mouth and smiled at the prime minister, "This matter is according to my intentions, let Lao Lin return the stolen goods, and go back to kill him, the housekeeper knocks on the mountain and shocks the tiger, and the clear water pond does not raise fish, this is also a matter of no way......" "You think so too?" Xiao Lotian looked at him incredulously.

"Hi...... Don't look at me like this, Prime Minister, I actually hate corrupt officials more than you, but in the history of thousands of years of civilization, no one can cure corruption, we have watched the King of Heaven enter Nanjing City with our own eyes, and we have also seen with our own eyes how those high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Heaven have fallen, and they are no worse than the corrupt officials of the imperial court......"

"The Three Emperors and the Five Emperors were in ancient times, so we won't say much, since the historical materials of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have been detailed, when has the corruption stopped?

Xiao Letian fell into deep contemplation, waved his hand to let Xiao Hexin retreat, and sat in the study all morning without working.

The fate of Chinese businessmen in the past dynasties is not very good, too far away not to mention Shen Wansan in the early Ming Dynasty, Hu Xueyan in the late Qing Dynasty This is the most typical example, among which Hu Xueyan's fate is the most embarrassing.

In the eighth year of Guangxu, Hu Xueyan, who was the top of the second grade, spent 20 million taels of silver to establish a silk factory, purchased Jiangnan silk at a high price, and tried to confront foreign merchants with his own strength, the core purpose of which was to restore China's pricing power over raw silk products.

Such a bold and reckless action completely angered the foreigners, and the little merchants of the Qing Kingdom actually dared to snatch the pricing power of commodities from us?

The tragedy of the raw silk war can be described in a few words, among which Hu Xueyan almost succeeded, and finally even forced foreign businessmen to shout the slogan of not buying silk for a year, in an attempt to break Hu Xueyan's capital chain alive.

Foreign merchants, the Dongting Mountain Gang, hostile forces in the imperial court, and finally a piece of commercial intelligence on the harvest of French and Italian raw silk had to be added, which completely defeated the red-capped merchant.

It is undeniable that Hu Xueyan is indeed engaged in raw silk hegemony to make money, but for a national businessman, he snatched the pricing power of raw silk from foreigners, which is definitely a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

It's a pity that no one cares what it means to benefit the country and the people, when Hu Xueyan's funds were broken, his Fukang silver account not only did not receive the support and protection of the state, but ushered in a crazy run on officials and businessmen.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was furious and ordered to take away all Hu Xueyan's hats, without the protection of his official body, this giant businessman became a dying whale on the beach, and could only be cut by others.

This is the only businessman in the late Qing Dynasty who dared to go to war with international capital, he and Sheng Huaixuan took two completely different paths, don't look at both of them, but Hu Xueyan is a national businessman in his heart, and Sheng Huaixuan is a pure official businessman, and playing politics is his strength.

So after that, the Beiyang God of Wealth was rich and honored all his life, but Hu Xueyan died lonely.

"What are businessmen looking at in the eyes of these officials? Are they rags that they throw away after they have been used? Asking for bribes at will without any psychological burden, and the crazy dismemberment of corpses like Shiba Dogs? Damn it......"

While Xiao Letian was pondering, the interrogation work had also made significant progress, and the housekeeper of the household department Shangshu Lin Yuanmiao finally couldn't stand it, and all the secrets between him and the master were confessed.

Within half a year since the victory over the French Expeditionary Force, Lin Yuanmiao has made a lot of money because of his own merits and the new army's power in East Asia.

He didn't dare to start the business of Lotte Foreign Bank, but he didn't have any psychological burden on other businessmen, and Lin Yuanmiao actually amassed 700,000 silver dollars in half a year.

Xiao Letian was stunned when he saw the confession, he had such a big appetite for half a year, and he would pay it back in the future, but before he could get angry, the sentry at the door ran in, "Report!

"Let him kneel for me, and no one cares about him!" Xiao Letian, who was furious, took the case.

Lin Yuanmiao's case shocked the entire East Asian business district, when Lin Yuanmiao knelt for eight hours and finally fell unconscious, when the prime minister did not see the Ryukyu ministers for three days, the business districts of Japan, Korea, Qing and even Hong Kong have been fried.

Wherever there are businessmen, there are people talking about this lawsuit, and some people even opened a gambling game to see if Xiao Lotian will bring Lin Yuanmiao to justice.

Three days later, Lin Yuanmiao's son Lin Zhen sold all his family property and personally pulled a silver cart through the streets and alleys of the Ryukyus naked, carrying thorns on his back, to make amends to the prime minister.

There are a million silver coins on the silver car, which is all the property of the Lin family, Lin Zhen cried with tears, he was already preparing to board the ship to study in Prussia, but the family change made his whole person almost collapse.

"Prime Minister...... My Lin family is willing to break the family to atone for their sins!Ask the prime minister for mercy......" Lin Zhen knelt at the door of the prime minister's mansion, and the blood of the thorns on his back flowed.

After a while, his comrade-in-arms and good friend Xiang Ying ran out shouting tears, and he passed a message to Lin Zhen from the prime minister: "Lin Zhen, may I ask if the Ryukyu Imperial Court has not given your father enough?

Lin Zhen kowtowed like pounding garlic, "The lesson of the prime minister is that our Lin family is wrong...... I don't ask for anything else, I just ask the prime minister to forgive my old father's life and let him resign for the people!"

The Lin family is really scared, the case has been reported but there has been no follow-up for six days, the horror of the sword hanging above the head is far greater than directly cutting it down, Xiao Letian might as well pronounce the sentence directly, this terrifying feeling The Lin family has all collapsed.
