Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

"Your Highness, please forgive us. We really don't know what literary inquisition is. Please understand clearly!"

"Wu Yuanjie and Zhou Wanli, you two took the lines in my poems and made far-fetched connections to frame me. Your actions to fabricate charges and eliminate dissidents are called literary inquisition."

"Literary inquisition is more harmful to the country than treason. Considering that you two are only first-time offenders and have not caused any harm to our Dayan, I will not implicate your families."

"Lu Zhenfushi, put Wu Yuanjie and Zhou Wanli in the Heavenly Prison. When you return, immediately post a notice to publicly behead them at the West Market Execution Platform at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow as a warning to others."

"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey your command!"

As soon as Lin Feng said this, Wu Yuanjie and Zhou Wanli slumped to the ground with despair. Lu Dongyuan waved his right hand, and four Mirror Guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the two away...

Lu Dongyuan led his men away, and Bai Shan immediately appeared in front of Lin Feng with a hundred Tianbingwei. They all clasped their fists and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "I'll go back to the palace right away."

"Yes!"

Lin Feng then came to Ziyun and Ziyan and said, "Let's go!"

Afterwards, Lin Feng, Ziyun and Ziyan got on the carriage that the four friends had taken when they came.

"Brother Yang, why didn't you tell me earlier that Brother Wang is a wise king?" Ye Liuyun said.

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Ye and Brother He, if we had told you earlier, would you have been able to see the show today? Okay, the boss has left, let's get on the carriage quickly."

At this moment, Chun Xing, Hong Yi and Hong Shang came to Li Heng and said, "Sir, the three of us are the young lady's maids."

Li Heng pointed at Ye Liuyun's carriage and said, "Then the three of you get on that carriage!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The three women bowed politely and then walked towards the carriage.

Afterwards, the three carriages left the Poetry Building under the escort of Baishan and a group of Tianbingwei and began to drive towards the Imperial Palace...

In the four-wheeled carriage, Lin Feng, Ziyun and Ziyan sat opposite each other. Ziyun immediately poured Lin Feng a cup of tea. "Lin Feng, I'm sorry! I should have woken you up yesterday."

Lin Feng shook his head. "It's not your fault. My brothers and I drank too much yesterday, so we fell into a deep sleep."

This rice wine is brewed from rice. Even though it doesn’t taste like much when you drink it, it has a strong aftertaste!

"Lin Feng, is the literary inquisition you just mentioned really that scary?" Zi Yan asked curiously.

Lin Feng nodded, "It's more terrible than you can imagine. If I don't severely punish Wu Yuanjie and Zhou Wanli, once this trend spreads in Dayan, the consequences will be disastrous."

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage drove into the palace. As soon as Lin Feng, Ziyun and Ziyan got off the carriage, Liu Song walked towards Lin Feng, "This old servant greets His Majesty!"

Lin Feng nodded, "Sword Master Liu, no need to be polite. Baishan, take the two ladies to choose a place to live."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bai Shan quickly extended his hand, "Ladies, please come this way."

Ziyun and Ziyan looked at Lin Feng at the same time, and Lin Feng nodded immediately, "Go ahead, find a yard you like and live there first."

Ziyun and Ziyan nodded, and then walked towards the harem under the guidance of Baishan...

Ye Liuyun and He Yu were very excited. They looked around as soon as they got off the carriage. This was the imperial palace of Yue State, so their behavior was normal.

Lin Feng smiled and walked directly towards the Tianren Hall, and everyone followed him immediately.

"Liu Zhangjian, is everything settled?"

Liu Song quickly cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We have already investigated everything. The amount of bribes is as high as 8.35 million taels, and 5.2 million taels of silver notes were found on the spot."

"Last night, all the core members of the Gao family were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. After the incident, Gao Yanqing knelt outside the Tianren Hall until now."

"More than eight million taels! It seems that these civil and military officials in South Vietnam are very rich! Have you found a list of officials who bribed?"

"Your Highness, we have already found out that Gao Yanqing's eldest grandson Gao Tianxu recorded the bribers and the amount of bribes in the account book. Please tell me how to deal with these officials who bribed."

"Since they have the money to bribe, then confiscate all their property, distribute the land to the people, and except for the houses they live in, the rest should be handed over to the national treasury!"

"Old slave understands!"

Soon, Lin Feng and his party arrived at Tianren Hall.

When Gao Yanqing saw Lin Feng, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, I had no knowledge of the bribery. Please listen to my explanation."

Lin Feng nodded, "You should get up first! If you have anything to say, let's go into the hall and talk."

Gao Yanqing quickly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gao Yanqing was about to stand up, but his legs were no longer under his control after kneeling all night. He struggled hard for several times before he could barely stand up.

Lin Feng pointed at the two Tianbingwei soldiers and said, "You two, go and help Mr. Gao into the hall."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Feng and his group had just sat down in the hall when Gao Yanqing slowly walked into the Tianren Hall with the support of two Tianbingwei.

"Master Gao, please find a seat and sit down!"

Gao Yanqing quickly bowed his hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Gao Yanqing sat down, he couldn't wait to speak: "Your Highness, I swear to heaven that I know nothing about the Tianhe Restaurant. Tianhe Restaurant has always been managed by my eldest grandson Gao Tianxu. I am definitely not shirking my responsibility. Please understand, Your Highness."

Lin Feng nodded. "A few days ago, Gao Jialin, the nephew of Mr. Gao, was killed by Murong Zhengming for money. With the previous experience, Mr. Gao is so smart that he will never make such a low-level mistake again. So I am very willing to trust Mr. Gao."

"Let's take a step back. Even if Lord Gao really wants to accept the guarantee fee, it's definitely not now. At least he has to wait until I return to the court."

Gao Yanqing cupped his hands in gratitude, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. The matter of accepting the guarantee fee was entirely Gao Tianxu's personal act and has nothing to do with the Gao family. Please understand clearly, Your Highness!"

Lin Feng nodded, "Master Gao, I completely understand how you feel right now, but I can't understand it alone!"

"Gao Tianxu is Mr. Gao's eldest grandson. His every move represents the Gao family. In other words, if Gao Tianxu commits a crime, then the Gao family commits a crime."

"Moreover, the Tianhe Restaurant accepted the money for bailing out officials. It was Gao Tianxu who accepted it in the name of Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao now says that you were not aware of it. Do you think anyone would believe this if you say it out loud?"

Gao Yanqing's face darkened, "This..."

Lin Feng looked at Liu Song who was sitting at the bottom. "Liu Zhangjian, you often judge cases. Do you believe what Lord Gao just said?"

Liu Song immediately stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I don't believe it."

"Master Gao, we found the account book from Tianhe Restaurant. It clearly records the name of the briber and the amount of the bribe, a total of 8.35 million taels, and we also found 5.2 million taels of silver notes on the spot."

"Liu Zhangjian, according to our Dayan criminal law, how should the Gao family be sentenced for corruption and bribery?"

Liu Song cupped his hands again and said, "Your Highness, according to the criminal law of Dayan, officials who embezzle or accept bribes exceeding one million taels will have all their property confiscated and all their family members will be exiled to the border as slaves forever. The Gao family accepted bribes of 8.35 million taels, so they should be executed according to the law!"
