The man said, "I worked under him for three years, so I knew all his officials. But later I left and returned to my own country, and many of his officials changed. But I was able to come here so smoothly, naturally thanks to his connections."

Ye Zifen understood that even if the current officials were replaced, they would still have to act according to his will, so no one could escape.

Now basically most of the officials of Daxia are involved.

It seems that the court is about to face bloody storm again.

She said to a master, "Take him down and ask him about the things he has taken away from Daxia over the years. Since he knows Daxia so well, he must be able to write it. Let him sign it."

Then he pointed at the rest and said, "Let's go and question these people as well. Ask them separately. Don't be polite to them."

All the people were taken away.

At this moment, Ye Zifen suddenly tilted her body and leaned on Master Mu.

Her face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled slightly, and she uttered a weak voice: "Why did a dynasty fall? In addition to natural disasters, it was also the inaction of these officials..."

Mu Hongzhou was shocked and asked quickly, "And then? What else?"

Ye Zifen slowly raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, and continued, "It's also because the court was too lax in treating officials, which gave them the courage to form cliques and engage in self-interest. The emperor's ears are deaf and he can't hear what the people say."

Her words were profound and suggestive, but Mu Hongzhou just listened and did not respond.

Ye Zifen continued, "Why are there so many people who are willing to give up so much for the people to live a good life? Some people think that the people are ants!"

When she said this, her eyes were filled with endless pain and helplessness.

Master Mu looked at her with pity and reached out his hand to pat her back gently.

Comforting: "Don't be too sad, it's not your fault. We will do our best to solve this problem."

Her tone was firm yet gentle, as if giving Ye Zifen a little strength.

There are always some dark moments in life, but you can’t be defeated by all this filth!

Ye Zifen nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "We must investigate this matter thoroughly and not let those corrupt officials get away with it!"

About half a day after those people were taken away, several masters came over with some papers. Ye Zifen knew that those were the things they had found out through asking questions.

She took the papers and looked through them carefully one by one, her eyes focused and sharp.

Each page of paper recorded those people's confessions and related information. She carefully compared every detail, trying to find more clues.

Finally, she sorted all the papers out and carefully put them aside.

Ye Zifen said firmly, "We will be home in less than half a month. Those people must not die, so keep an eye on them in the next period of time. When we return to the seaside, we will take these people directly to Beijing."

The masters were in a heavy mood at this time, but they knew the importance of these people and nodded in agreement.

Perhaps because they have entered the territory of Daxia and are getting closer and closer to home, the people on the fishing boat are eager to return home.

This eagerness prompted the fishing boat to speed up, faster than ever before.

However, this also brought greater challenges to Ye Zifen and others, because they needed to spend longer time to catch up with the ship ahead.

After a day and a half of hard work, they finally succeeded in catching up with the two ships ahead.

At night, when everyone stopped to rest, the master from another boat came over with a smile on his face and said jokingly: "If you don't come up, I'm really worried that something has happened to you! I almost want to go back to look for you."

In the past, if he had spoken in a joking tone, his fellow disciples would have definitely joked with him, but this time they didn't, and they still frowned.

This made him worried, "What happened? Is someone injured or who... Don't scare me."

They have been together for the past few years, but they really can't accept one of them being missing.

Ye Zifen said quickly: "Don't think too much, everyone is fine, no one is injured, but the pirates we are chasing this time may be related to that person, so everyone is not very happy."

Upon hearing this, the master also became furious. "It's really true what they say, the evil will last for thousands of years! How can he still be involved when his entire clan has been exterminated? Exterminating his entire clan is too easy for him. He should have his corpse whipped again."

Ye Zifen knew that the master was extremely angry, otherwise he would not have said such irresponsible words, and no one blamed him.

After venting his anger, he asked, "What should we do next?"

Ye Zifen nodded and continued, "Except for the ones who were killed at the beginning, these were captured alive. We also asked some questions and are waiting to send them back to the capital. The matter in the south should also have a result."

When the master heard this, he immediately became excited. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's set off at dawn and go back quickly. I can't stand watching these beasts continue to live."

His eyes were filled with anger and disgust, as if the people before him were his most hated enemies.

After they had discussed it, they continued on their journey. Ye Ziwei also took Ye Chengsi and Zhang Gaowu to the beach.

But this time they still couldn't stay for long, so Zhang Gaowu couldn't play with his former friends anymore.

But Ye Chengsi stayed. So when Ye Zifen and the others came back, they saw Ye Chengsi jumping happily on the beach.

After Ye Zifen stepped onto the shore, she asked, "Why are you here, alone?"

Ye Chengsi nodded, "I missed you and Master, so I asked Sixth Sister to bring me here."

Ye Zifen asked, "Did Dad agree?"

Ye Chengsi said: "Of course, Daddy also said that I am a man and should not be locked up at home. I should go out more often."

Ye Zifen nodded and asked, "Who will cook for you when you are here?"

Ye Chengsi said: "I gave Sister Chunyue one tael of silver and asked her to help cook a meal for me every day."

When Ye Zifen heard this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This kid is really good at taking care of himself!"

Then, he said to Ye Chengsi: "In that case, let's have fun, but be careful."

Ye Chengsi nodded repeatedly, then ran away happily.

Looking at her brother's receding back, Ye Zifen smiled with relief.

After Ye Chengsi left Ye Zifen, he went to find Mu Hongzhou, but Mu Hongzhou was not as gentle as Ye Zifen.

She said directly: "Go over there and do horse stance for half an hour, and follow us tomorrow. It's time for you to learn something real."

Ye Chengsi knew this would happen, so he just stood in horse stance obediently.
