Chapter 259: He Has No Face Here with Me
"Zhou Zheng? That old scoundrel is locked up right now in our Public Security Division prison."
Shi Xin couldn't help but chuckle:
"That bastard discovered the Blazing Gold Mine but kept it secret, selling off quite a bit of Blazing Gold under the table over the years.
Claimed he was 'living in seclusion in the mountains' - damn, he made a killing off it.
Just from the initial confession, the illicit funds amount to a staggering two hundred thousand taels.
That's equivalent to a full year's tax revenue for Xiangfeng Prefectural Capital."
Yang Ling gasped sharply inwardly, but considering the value of Blazing Gold, two hundred thousand taels wasn't really that much.
"Old Superior, if I wanted to pull Zhou Zheng out of here..."
Yang Ling thoughtfully explained the situation from beginning to end.
