Duan Chengen raised his head to look at Du Qi, his eyes filled with fear and panic. Normally, Duan Chengen was eloquent and eloquent, but at this moment, facing Du Qi, Duan Chengen felt his mouth go dry and he didn't know where to start.
In order to get the road construction contract in Puchang County, he paid a huge price. In order to pass the final inspection of the road, he still paid a huge price. But in the end, he still made a lot of money. It was a huge profit.
But now, he felt that it was hard to say.
Because there were problems everywhere, especially when it came to the cement management rights. He also paid a lot of money. If he were to explain everything, it would probably cause a huge commotion.
Under this premise, Duan Chengen's heart turned ice-cold.
Du Qi looked at Duan Chengen who wanted to say something but stopped. He said, "Duan Chengen, confess honestly. Otherwise, don't blame this prince for torturing you. Before the torture, say that it won't hurt. But once the torture is used, it won't stop. When the time comes, you'll be injured all over. It won't be worth it to confess. "
When Duan Chengen heard this, his eyebrows jumped in fright. Now that he was caught, and in Du Qi's hands, it was impossible for him to escape this disaster.
Du Qi knew that Duan Chengen's heart was on the verge of collapse. After all, Duan Chengen was only a businessman. He didn't have a strong will and couldn't withstand intimidation. So he continued, "Fine, since you don't want to confess, I'll give you a chance to taste something new. I'll let you taste the soldering iron. After the old soldering iron is heated red, it'll be like branding pig skin. When it lands on the skin, there'll be sizzling sounds and green smoke. "
"This prince will let you experience it for free."
Du Qi chuckled and casually told him the truth. But as he spoke, Duan Chengen's slightly fat body couldn't help but tremble. His face was filled with fear.
"I confess, I confess everything."
Duan Chengen immediately spoke. He couldn't bear the pressure anymore, so he begged for mercy.
He didn't dare to go against Du Qi anymore. Once he was punished and couldn't take it, it would be extremely miserable. Therefore, Duan Chengen decided to confess first to avoid being punished by Du Qi.
Du Qi said, "In that case, confess honestly. Guan Yi, prepare a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for Duan Chengen. Let him clearly state the crimes he committed. "
"Yes!"
Guan Yi got up and picked up the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone that he had prepared beforehand, placing them at the place where Duan Chengen was kneeling.
Duan Cheng 'en's expression was miserable. He was the biggest merchant in Puchang County, the wealthiest person, but he had fallen to such a state. His heart was also quite miserable. In fact, Duan Chengen even felt regret in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he would not have resorted to trickery and bribery.
As a result, he was now a prisoner.
Duan Chengen knew that it was impossible for him to fool Du Qi, especially Yu Yi, who knew everything. Therefore, he explained everything in detail.
The management personnel of the cement plant involved were all clearly written down.
The cement plant used to be in Suzhou.
Now, it had moved to Yiwu County in Yizhou. As Du Qi moved the political center to Gaochang City, the military factory moved as well. However, the rest of the cement plant, the rest of the business system, and the University of Science and Technology were still in Yiwu County.
Duan Chengen's confession alone took almost half an hour and was a few thousand words.
It was enough to show the richness of the content.
Duan Chengen finished writing all the content and held the letter with both hands, saying, "Emperor Xia, the criminal has been written."
Guan Zhilan immediately went forward, took the letter and handed it to Du Qi. He then bowed and stood below. Du Qi took the letter and read it carefully. The more he read, the more shocked and angry he was. The people in the cement plant, not to mention the situation in other parts of Puchang County, just the people in charge of Puchang County were completely rotten. Not a single person in the entire workshop was good.
After Du Qi finished reading, he said coldly, "Duan Chengen, you really have some tricks up your sleeves! The person in charge of the cement plant in charge of Puchang County, as well as the rest of the staff, were all corrupted by you. No one can stop you. "
Duan Chengen smiled embarrassedly.
He felt helpless.
This was his glorious deed. In fact, these glorious deeds were shameful.
Duan Chengen quickly said, "Emperor Xia, I have committed a crime. I am at fault. I beg you to forgive me. I am willing to make amends for the crimes I have committed. I am willing to remedy them. I beg you to give me a chance. "
Du Qi said, "You have committed a great crime. You have taken Xia's property and embezzled the hard-earned money of the people. Since you have confessed, I will not kill you. I will let you live and imprison you for fifteen years. In addition, I will confiscate the illegal gains of the Duan family and revoke your right to operate the cement plant. "
Duan Chengen heard and said respectfully, "Thank you, Emperor Xia."
He felt lucky.
Although he was sentenced, at least it was only his illegal gains, which were the money he earned from building the road and operating the cement plant. Even if the money was confiscated, he still had money at home. Therefore, even if he was imprisoned, at least his family could still live. They would not be affected and unable to live because of him.
Du Qi said, "Duan Chengen, I hope you know what you are doing."
In fact, Du Qi had considered a heavy punishment in his heart. He had thought about killing Duan Chengen directly. However, after considering this matter, although it was serious, at the end of the day, it was only bribing the people of the cement plant. It was not even considered bribing the officials. The cement plant was state-run and was not considered an official. Therefore, there was such a punishment plan.
Duan Chengen kowtowed with his head on the ground. His body was almost on the ground. He said, "Thank you, Emperor Xia."
Duan Chengen was relieved that he could keep his life and his family safe. At least they could live without worries.
Du Qi said, "Guan Yi, you have four things to do."
Guan Yi said, "Please give your orders, Emperor Xia."
Du Qi said, "First, Duan Chengen will be put under your custody in prison. Second, confiscate the Duan family's illegal gains from building the road and cement. All the money will be put into the county government's treasury. It will be used as a separate fund to repair the road. Third, contact the main cement factory and arrange for someone else to be the contractor to repair the roads. Fourth, issue a notice to the government to notify the workers who had worked under Duan Chengen to come and receive the salary that they had never received before. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Guan Yi answered immediately.
Du Qi's four arrangements were all beneficial to the development of Puchang County. Especially after confiscating the Duan family's illegal gains, there would be enough money to repair the road again. The county government would not be unable to support it.
Du Qi said, "Go and get busy!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Guan Yi got up and left with the detained Duan Chengen. In particular, he had to arrange for people to check the Duan family's accounts so that he could get money from the Duan family's treasury. The matters involved were extremely complicated and could not be completed in a short time. In particular, Du Qi had given him some memorials to deal with matters related to the livelihood of the people of Puchang County.
That was another big project.
Now that there was another matter, he was almost overwhelmed. However, Guan Yi did not have any objections. With a goal and corresponding matters, it was relatively easy to deal with. It was not difficult at all.
After Guan Yi left with Duan Chengen, Guan Zhilan also retreated to the door.
Shangguan Yi did not leave.
Shangguan Yi said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Duan Chengen's name list involves all the workers of the cement plant. How should we deal with these people? "
