"It's Tian Linwen."

Emperor Jianchang was very angry when he heard this answer.

"Tian Linwen is so bold. Chen'er, you are responsible for investigating this matter and clearing An Le's name. As for Tian Linwen, investigate him thoroughly. If he has violated the law or discipline, he will be severely punished!"

This is exactly what Xiao Lichen wanted to hear.

"I will definitely deal with this matter as soon as possible. Your Majesty, I have captured a suspect who attacked the Ninth Prince. He is a specially trained assassin, but he is tight-lipped and has not revealed who the mastermind behind the attack is."

He sent people to seal off Tingya Tower, the largest brothel in the capital.

The people inside were taken back for interrogation, and a man with suspicious behavior was found.

Facing the severe torture by the prison warden, the man did not utter a single extra word.

This man is a assassin.

Looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, there are only a few people in the court who have the ability to train death squads.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me, and I will not tolerate any leniency."

Emperor Jianchang was very angry about the fact that someone was secretly training assassins, and his face looked very ugly.

He fell into deep thought, standing silently with his back to Xiao Lichen. His majesty as an emperor could not be challenged.

"Yes, I will do it now."

Xiao Lichen left the palace quickly, and when he was out of the palace, he asked Qingzhu, the guard behind him.

"Where is Princess Anle?"

Qingzhu bowed, "My lord, Princess Anle is currently in the Dali Temple."

"Let's go and have a look!"

After Xiao Lichen gave instructions to the people behind him, his carriage stopped in front of him.

After getting on the carriage, the master and servant rushed to the Dali Temple.

In the Dali Temple courtroom waiting for witnesses, Tao Yuwei slowly closed her eyes and began to doze off.

[Old Crow, I have been badly tricked by you. 】

Although Tao Yuwei looked calm, she was a little anxious in her heart. She was under tremendous pressure, waiting for the person who agreed to come forward to testify for her.

The letter was delivered by the crow standing on her shoulder. It brought back the message that the other party was willing to testify.

As a result, after waiting for a whole cup of tea, there was no sign of the witness.

Tian Ce, the Minister of Revenue who had remained silent, really didn't want to wait any longer.

"Princess Anle, since the witness you mentioned did not show up, I will go back first."

He can't produce anything substantial, so why should he sit here and be tried?

Tian Ce stood up and walked towards the entrance of Dali Temple.

Yu Meiyao, who was kneeling on the ground, could no longer hold on. She was so weak that she almost fainted. She kept her eyes open for fear that she would fall down. She stared at the departing figure with a desolate heart.

Could it be that even if she reported the case to the Dali Temple, the result would be the same as before, and she would not be able to do anything to these two beasts?

Did my parents who died in vain die in vain?

Was she forcibly taken over and insulted, and almost lost her life, and had no way to seek justice?

Endless despair spread in Yu Meiyao's heart. In just a moment, her mind was in a tizzy until she felt completely disheartened.

Just when she couldn't hold on any longer and was about to fall, she fell into an embrace filled with a delicate fragrance.

"Yunxiao, give her the medicine in this bottle quickly."

Tao Yuwei stood in front of Yunxiao, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and stretched out her palm, on which lay a small porcelain bottle.

Yunxiao, the head maid, held the unconscious person with one arm, stretched out her other arm to pick up the porcelain bottle, opened the bottle cap, and poured the liquid inside into Yu Meiyao's mouth.

In just a breath of time, Yu Meiyao woke up from her coma.

She felt that all the wounds on her body miraculously no longer hurt, and her weak body was filled with strength.

Rising from Yunxiao's arms, she gratefully thanked Tao Yuwei and her servant.

"Thank you, Princess Anle and this sister."

Tao Yuwei felt much better when she saw that she was fine.

"It's just a piece of cake. Don't be discouraged about the case. Just wait and see!"

[Little girl, I didn't expect you to have such a magical medicine. Would you mind giving me a bottle as well? ]

[This medicine is for humans to take. It will be useless if you take it.]

This was the nutritional potion she had left over from the apocalypse, stored in her space ring.

Drinking this stuff can quickly nourish the body, promote wound healing, and resist hunger.

Regarding the case involving Tian Ce and Gao Huaizhen, she didn't want the victims to be bullied and have no way to seek justice in front of her, while the perpetrators were at large.

Yu Meiyao is the most important plaintiff, and of course she cannot miss the case between He Tian Ce and others because of her health.

Seeing Yu Meiyao fall down and stand up again, Gao Huaizhen was full of ridicule.

"Master Zhou, this Miss Yu claimed that I had raped her, and the injuries on her body were all related to me. You all saw it with your own eyes, right? She just looked like she couldn't hold on and fainted.

She woke up in the blink of an eye. In my opinion, the wounds on her body were clearly fake, and she was faking it herself.

His purpose is nothing more than to get close to me and ask for some benefits.

It is more likely that she is colluding with others with bad intentions, deliberately framing and defaming my reputation, and is bent on bringing me down."

Yu Meiyao was so angry at his deliberate distortion of the truth that she almost spit at him.

She had never seen such a shameless person.

It was clearly because of him that he lost his dignity and innocence. For his special hobby, he also harmed countless unfortunate innocent women behind his back.

"Oh, is there anything about Minister Gao that could be worthy of being framed? How come this commander doesn't know about it?"

As the cold voice appeared, Tian Ce, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was walking outside the gate of the Dali Temple, was thrown in by someone.

Hearing the voice of the person coming, Gao Huaizhen's straight body suddenly jerked.

Why is this killer here?

He didn't remember ever offending the other party.

Tian Ce, who was thrown to the ground like a dead dog by several strong and powerful Xiaoyu Guards, was worried when he saw Xiao Lichen and Xiaoyu Guards appear in the Dali Temple court.

The Prince of Yong is here. Could it be that Your Majesty knows something?

Tian Ce quickly got up from the ground and said righteously, "Prince Yong, you, the Xiaoyu Guard, ignored the law and openly tortured and humiliated me. Aren't you afraid of the impeachment of the Censorate? The attack of the court officials? The blame of His Majesty?"

[Tian Ce, this corrupt official, is quite talkative. During the five years since he took office as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he has received bribes from his subordinates, which amount to at least one million silver taels every year.]

[In order to climb up the social ladder, he bribed Gao Huaizhen and other high-ranking officials with a huge amount of money. In order to control these people, he kept the account book in the basement of his study.]

[His clansmen forcibly enclosed a large area of ​​land in Yunzhou, occupied the people's fertile farmland, had no regard for the law, and beat to death unarmed civilians.

What's even more infuriating is that he withheld millions of silver taels from the construction of the Jiangnan Dam last year, which led to the flood in the entire Jiangnan area in the summer. The dam was broken through by the shoddy work, causing a large number of people to drown. Such a corrupt official must be beheaded. 】

[He used part of the huge amount of money he embezzled to contribute to the male protagonist as funds for secretly raising troops, and the rest was hidden by him in the cracks of the floor under his bed.]

The reason why she knew it so clearly was, firstly, the plot, and secondly, of course, she had dealt with the rats in the Hetian Mansion, so she knew everything, both what she should know and what she shouldn't know.

"Minister Tian, ​​you know best what you have done, so don't try to bully others."

A guard from Xiaoyuwei spoke to him coldly.

"You, Xiao Yuwei, are too arrogant. You mocked the court officials in public and abused me without any evidence. This is so disrespectful. I will submit a memorial to His Majesty to accuse you of exceeding your authority."

Hei Yan, who was standing behind Xiao Lichen, heard his doubts and kicked him to the ground.

"How dare you offend the prince of Yong. How abhorrent."

Xiao Lichen was sitting in a wheelchair, with a cold and clear face. After listening to Tao Yuwei's voice, there was no emotion at all.

"Tian Ce, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was corrupt and accepted bribes. He protected his clansmen and brought disaster to the people. He withheld millions of silver taels used to build the dam, causing the river in the south of the Great Zhou to burst its banks. Countless people were killed and injured. His crimes are extremely serious. His property will be confiscated and he will be imprisoned. He will wait for the trial of the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice."

"As for the evidence that Minister Tian wants, someone, go to Tian's house and have someone rush to his bedroom, pry open the bed, and find the stolen silver. Then go to his study, move the bookcase, go into the basement, and take out the bribery account book inside."

Several Xiaoyu guards immediately gathered their men and rushed to Tian Mansion.

Xiao Lichen's words made Tian Ce's eyes turn black. It was over, all over. The Prince of Yong actually found out everything. He couldn't breathe and was almost scared to death.

When the onlookers heard what Xiao Lichen said, they were so angry that they took off their shoes and rushed towards Tian Ce with a gust of wind.

Tian Ce awkwardly raised his wide sleeves to cover his face to prevent it from being hit by everyone's stinky shoes.

That would be too disrespectful.

"Bah! This Minister Tian looks like a decent person, but he is actually a corrupt official."

"These people are the Xiaoyu Guards beside His Majesty. Once the evidence is delivered, he will stop making excuses."

"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. His clansmen have seized the good farmland of the common people, and he doesn't even know that his son is not his own."

"I heard that his wife got it in exchange from a farmer's family. This news has spread everywhere."

Hearing the discussions of the onlookers, Tian Ce stood up unbelievingly and asked the onlookers, "Why did you say that my son is not my biological son?"

"Pa Ji!" Guo Buyan, who had watched the whole process, slapped him in the face. "Of course it's because your wife swapped your blood with someone else just to keep her position in the mansion, and the whole baby swap process was witnessed by someone."

He was blind at the time and even helped Mr. Tian to attack Princess Anle. He believed the words of the Tian family's servants and thought that Princess Anle had taken possession of and humiliated his son.

If I don't beat him, I won't be able to get rid of the depressed feeling of being used as a tool.

Tian Ce didn't believe what these people said, but he couldn't bear such a double blow and fainted.

Zhou Qiheng signaled the Dali Temple runners to drag the man away.

His eyes now turned to Tao Yuwei.

Could the witness that Princess Anle mentioned be the Prince of Yong who is deeply favored by His Majesty?

The fact that he was able to ask this person to take action shows the status of Princess Anle in His Majesty's mind.

Alas, when he was originally invited to try the case, everyone seemed to be very enthusiastic and did not give him a chance to perform.

From now on, Princess Anle should try her best not to offend her.

Zhou Qiheng warned himself in his heart.

"Oh, the flowers are all wilting waiting for you, and I'm almost falling asleep."

Tao Yuwei glared at the person in the wheelchair angrily.

If he had arrived a step later, the man from Tian Ce would have gone home in a swagger.

[As expected of Xiao Yuwei, he is fast at finding evidence. 】

She gave Xiao Lichen an admiring look, but after her gaze fell on his face again, she couldn't take it away.

Gao Huaizhen, who was sitting in the chair, was so scared that his whole body was shaking and he even peed all over the floor.

Everything that Tian Ce did was clearly investigated by the Xiaoyu Guards led by the Prince of Yong, so the things he did could probably no longer be concealed.

Smelling the unpleasant pungent smell, everyone covered their mouths and noses at the same time.

Why did Gao Shangshu, who was so righteous before, suddenly change his attitude?

His reaction was so big, didn't it clearly tell everyone that there was something wrong with him as the Shangshu?

Yu Meiyao, kneeling on the ground, witnessed with her own eyes Tian Ce, her captor, being thrown into jail, and her mood improved a lot.

Tian Ce was sent to jail because Princess Anle, in order to help her, did not hesitate to deal with the two corrupt officials for a long time and waited for Xiao Yuwei to find out the truth.

The Tian family was about to collapse, and Yu Meiyao shed tears of excitement.

It was not easy for her to rush all the way from Yunzhou to the capital.

The whole process is as bitter as Coptis chinensis.

She originally thought that when she arrived in the capital, she would have a chance to seek justice for her parents. However, who knew that the Tian family was so cruel that she was kidnapped by someone sent to her. After being trained as a skinny horse in Yunzhou for a period of time, she was sent to Gao Huaizhen at night.

The Tian family and Gao Huaizhen destroyed everything she had, and she wanted to see them brought to justice with her own eyes.

"Thank you, Princess Anle, thank you for the perceptive Xiaoyu Guards, and thank you, Lord Zhou, for upholding justice for the people."

Yu Meiyao knelt on the ground and first bowed to Tao Yuwei and Xiao Lichen.

Then, he saluted to Zhou Qiheng who was sitting high in the main hall.

During the whole process, everyone in the audience was silent.

After she finished her ceremony, someone brought rotten vegetable leaves and raw eggs and threw them at Gao Huaizhen, who had urinated on the ground.

This tiger-like action woke Tao Yuwei up from her reverie about her beautiful face.

[This prince of Yong is too thin-skinned. He just stared at you for a few times and his face turned red like a monkey's butt.]

[Maybe the medicine I gave you last time didn't work, otherwise why are you still sitting in a wheelchair? ]

[I really want to see you stand up and walk. ]

Tao Yuwei looked Xiao Lichen up and down in confusion for a long time.

At this time, the court was in a state of chaos.

Everyone rushed into the court angrily and chased Gao Huaizhen and beat him up.

No one noticed Xiao Lichen's blushing face.

He secretly took a deep breath to steady himself. His heart was beating inexplicably fast, and he felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.

Fearing that Tao Yuwei would discover that something was wrong with him, Xiao Lichen reminded Zhou Qiheng, "Tell them to stop!"

[Gao Huaizhen has gained a lot of benefits over the years by taking advantage of his sister Concubine Gao and the Second Prince.]

[Oh my god, Gao Huaizhen likes to attack the wives of some of his colleagues the most! ]
