In his previous life, he was disfigured and his eyes were gouged out, and he was reborn to kill ever

"whee…"

Ouyang Liuli smiled brightly, revealing two rows of white teeth.

“I really can’t hide anything from my sister.

Sister, you don’t know that the people outside don’t know the truth of the matter at all.

They all stood up for Zhao Xueqing.

They also said that it was because their sister was jealous that they falsely accused Zhao Xueqing of a crime and sent her to the government office to be locked up.

My sister can tolerate such rumors, but I can’t.”

Ouyang Liuli spoke with indignation.

Fang Ling did not respond immediately. She walked to the rocking chair and sat down slowly.

Dabai and Nuannuan followed immediately, lying on either side of the rocking chair, with their heads held high like two guardian angels.

When Ouyang Liuli saw this, she couldn't help but smile even brighter.

She walked over and sat on another rocking chair not far from Fang Ling, and continued:

"Sister, you adopted these two big guys, Nuan Nuan and Da Bai. That's really impressive."

When Dabai and Nuannuan heard Ouyang Liuli praising them for their majesty, they raised their heads a little higher.

Fang Ling asked:

"Your name is Zhou Ruolan. Did you go with me?"

Ouyang Liuli took the cake from Chunmei and nodded.

"Yes.

I thought that Zhou Ruolan’s words should be more convincing than mine, and the people would be more likely to believe her.

So he asked her to go with him.

Fortunately, she is here today, otherwise, with my bad temper, I would have to listen to those people slandering my sister with empty words.

I will really whip them and teach them a lesson."

Fang Ling heard this and looked at Ouyang Liuli.

"I know you made this trip just for my sake.

I am naturally grateful in my heart.

But from now on, there is no need to involve Zhou Ruolan in anything.

I returned the indenture to her and set her free.

All the previous things were written off.

Now her father was in prison and all her mother's dowry had been paid as a fine.

The mother and daughter lived in Qian's house penniless.

Without anyone to rely on, life will not be easy.

If she gets involved in these matters again, it will probably bring her a lot of trouble."

Ouyang Liuli curled her lips.

"Sister, you really care about her."

Fang Ling smiled and said,

"I just feel that we owe each other nothing, and I don't want her to get into trouble because of me."

“Sister, I didn’t let her suffer any loss today.

After she helped to speak for me, I gave her three hundred taels of silver.

The three hundred taels were enough for her to buy a small courtyard and live alone with her mother."

Ouyang Liuli took a bite of the cake.

"She spoke up for justice once, and now she can live in her own yard instead of living under someone else's roof. It's worth it."

Fang Ling nodded, looked at Ouyang Liuli and said seriously:

"Thank you, Liuli."

Ouyang Liuli paused while eating the cake, then took another big bite of the cake.

"Hehe, this cake tastes really good.

Chunmei's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Fang Ling smiled and handed a plate of cakes beside her to Ouyang Liuli.

"This is for you too."

"Hehe, thank you sister."

Ouyang Liuli took the pastry and smiled again, revealing two rows of big white teeth.

Yu Zhizhou was also extremely efficient in handling cases, and he closed the case of Governor Zhou in just seven days.

In the end, the governor of Zhou spared the death penalty and sentenced him to ten years in prison.

As for Leng Xihe and Zhao Xueqing, they were sentenced to death for murdering Prince Jing and Princess Jing.

The rickshaw driver Li Hu was sentenced to ten years in prison.

Zhao Xueqing's relatives within the three clans were also implicated.

All, except children under the age of twelve, were sentenced to twenty years in prison.

As for Leng Xihe's relatives within the three clans, most of them are in the capital.

Moreover, Leng Xihe's father is the prime minister and is highly regarded by the emperor.

So, Zhizhou Yu wrote a memorial to the emperor and asked him to make the decision.

The news that Governor Zhou took the initiative to confess his guilt and handed over the stolen money had already spread throughout Yunzhou.

After his verdict came out, most of the officials, both big and small, in the counties of Yunzhou who had committed acts of corruption voluntarily surrendered themselves.

In just a few days, the amount of stolen silver handed over amounted to more than one million taels.

Qin Mu looked at the account book of the confiscated stolen silver.

He frowned and sat at the desk in the study for a full hour without saying a word.

Suddenly there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

Qin Mu came back to his senses and heard a knock on the door, and he knew it was Ling'er.

He quickly pinched his brows, relaxed his expression, and stood up to open the door.

After opening the door, Fang Ling walked in slowly with a bowl of sweet soup and a smile on her face.

"I come."

Qin Mu reached out and took the soup from Fang Ling's hand.

"It's so late, why are you personally bringing me soup?

Be careful not to get tired."

Fang Ling followed Qin Mu into the study.

"It's so late, what are you still busy with?"

Qin Mu placed the soup on the table and said in a calm tone:

"I've been looking at the stolen silver that officials from various parts of Yunzhou have voluntarily confessed to and handed over in the past few days."

As he said this, he handed the account book to Fang Ling to look at.

Fang Ling looked at the specific amount of silver recorded in the account book and couldn't help but frown.

“No wonder you’re in a bad mood.

But if you think about it from another perspective, it is precisely because we came to Yunzhou that we were able to recover the stolen silver.

As long as we make good arrangements, we can take from the people and use it for the people.

Then, we will strengthen the constraints on Yunzhou officials and try our best to prevent corruption and abuse of power.

That’s good, isn’t it? ”

Qin Mu's mood did not improve despite Fang Ling's words of comfort.

He said in a hoarse voice:

“In fact, the salaries of officials in Yunzhou are not particularly high.

But you can live a rich life.

But ordinary people in Yunzhou, let alone being rich, many of them couldn’t even afford to eat.

So, how could these officials have the heart to attack the suffering people?"

“It’s due to greed.

People are always prone to greed.

Especially without sufficient constraints, it is easier to become greedy.

In the future, if we strengthen supervision, there should be great improvements.”

After saying this, Fang Ling pushed the soup on the table towards Qin Mu.

"Drinking some sweet soup can make you feel better."

Qin Mu drank a few sips obediently, with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Ling'er.

From now on, let us work together to enable the people of Yunzhou to live a prosperous life.

The appointed officials will also be honest, diligent and love the people.”

Fang Ling stepped forward, hugged Qin Mu in her arms, and gently stroked his head.

"Well, let's work hard together."

A few days later, the imperial court finally received the memorial from Yu Zhizhou.

When he saw in the memorial that Leng Xihe, the daughter of Prime Minister Leng, and others had gone to Yunyang County to poison Princess Jing and Princess Jing.

He was stunned for a moment, then felt regretful.

Leng Xihe was really useless, traveling all the way to Yunyang County to seek revenge.

In the end, I still failed.

It would be great if she could just poison Prince Jing and Princess Jing to death...
