Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

"What do you mean, sir? A new official has three things to do when he takes office. Are you planning to use my subordinates as a sacrifice for the first one?"

"Maybe you're right, that's what I think." Su Jinyu approached him and chuckled.

"My Lord, are you planning to frame your subordinates for something?" Although the master was kneeling on the ground, there was no sign of panic on his face.

"It seems that the lawyer is not afraid anymore. Let's meet in court. While posting the notice, spread the news that the county lawyer will be tried at noon today. The people are invited to watch." Su Jinyu waved her hand

"Yes, sir..." Asan received the order and took some notices with a few constables.

Those who were afraid to touch the master were persuaded by Jiang Chen, "You are the master's subordinates, not the master's. Since the master said he wanted to try the master, it is a public matter. We are just following the routine work." After being persuaded, Jiang Chen and the other two constables took the master into jail.

At noon, Su Jinyu, wearing an official uniform with the words "Justice and Integrity" on his head, sat in a wheelchair, picked up the gavel in his hand, and banged it, "Mighty~Wu"

Solemn and dignified, Wen Jiu disguised himself as a wealthy lady and hid in the crowd to look at Su Jinyu. His brother really had a natural temperament, his face was solemn and dignified without anger, and at a young age, he had some of the demeanor of an old city...

"Oh, is this true or not? Is there anyone who dares to interrogate the master?"

"So what if he is a master? There are still people above who can control him."

"You can't talk nonsense. This is an official sent by the imperial court."

"Oh, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away~"

Wen Jiu looked at the man, who seemed to be looking down on the official

"Bring the master up here." Su Jinyu's clear voice revealed infinite possibilities, which made the people who were talking about it shut up.

The master had already become somewhat depressed after a few hours. He looked around but did not seem to find the person he expected to see. The disappointment in his eyes was seen by Su Jinyu and Wen Jiu.

I think the people behind the scenes don't want to save him, or they are not afraid at all, so they don't want to save the master.

"Kneel down!" Ah San kicked the master, who fell to his knees on the ground with a thud. He was unwilling, but he had to bow his head due to the situation.

"Sir, even if you want to establish your authority, you don't have to punish me. What did I do? It's because I worked so hard to manage the county government that I didn't pay attention and didn't come to greet you in person a few hours late, so you want to punish me?" the lawyer complained.

The people who are usually protected by the master in the underworld will not be happy about this.

"What is this? Are you so arrogant? If you don't come to greet me in person, you will have to suffer this."

"Hey, you are the legal advisor in charge of the entire county government, so it's common for you to stay up late at night. How can you be so unreasonable? You even want to punish me. It's really strange."

"How do you know that Master is often busy until late at night? Did you see it?" Wen Jiu asked in a slightly louder voice

"Of course! ... What does it have to do with you?" The man was unconvinced.

"Yes, what does it have to do with you? The county magistrate must have a reason for saying so, and he has to trouble you to come here," Wen Jiu choked

"Master, how much money did you spend on renovating the county government office? How much is your monthly salary? And how did you manage to take care of all the expenses in your house? Master, you told me that you didn't do any business. Think it over before you answer."

"It is because of the money left by our ancestors that our family can live a more prosperous life. Is there anything wrong with that?" Ying Fugui was not panicked at all.

"Oh, according to investigation, your ancestors for three generations were farmers. Only when you were hired as a legal advisor in the government office could you barely make ends meet. Your taking concubines is your family affair, but each concubine costs several hundred silver taels. I want to know whether you made your fortune by praying to gods in your dreams or whether you have some other shameful livelihood?" Su Jinyu also looked relaxed. He didn't believe that he could always be as steady as an old dog.

"My Lord, are you investigating me?"

"Caring for subordinates is what an official should do"

"Anyway, I didn't steal or rob. My Lord, you wouldn't covet other people's money, would you?" Ying Fugui knelt on the ground like a scoundrel, without a human figure.

"Asan, this is the evidence of Master's crime that I have compiled just a few hours ago. Read it out one by one." Su Jinyu took out a dozen sheets of paper

"The prisoner Ying Fugui worked as a legal advisor in Ganzhou County. During that time, he abused his position to bully the common people, abducted women, and privately occupied fertile farmland and fish ponds... He was even more daring than to sell illegal salt. The crimes he committed are too numerous to list. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, does the prisoner Ying Fugui have anything to say?" Ah San read out the petitions one by one. They were the ones he had suppressed, so how did they end up in his hands?

"I am innocent. Someone must be trying to accuse me. My Lord, please find out the truth and clear my name." Ying Fugui knelt on the ground, looking very pious.

"Injustice? Show this to him?" Su Jinyu asked Su Jinmu to take out a receipt for smuggled salt with his private seal on it. He wanted to say that the private letter was stolen, or it could be forged, but he saw a small longevity lock dangling in the man's hand. He was so sacred that he seemed not to be a mortal, but so evil that he was an unforgivable villain. How could this person know the whereabouts of his son? Where was his son?

Originally, he could insist that he was framed, and the remaining charges would only result in a beating and a few days in prison, but smuggling salt was a capital crime, punishable by death. He didn't want to die, and he still had a good life, but his son was the only son in three generations...

He panicked, finally panicked, Su Jinyu saw

Tears fell, he closed his eyes, and shouted, "Please punish me, sir. I was blinded by greed for a moment. This has nothing to do with anyone at this moment."

"If you summon your accomplices, I can let you suffer less on the road." Su Jinyu pressed the longevity lock.

"I have no accomplices. I am the only one who did this in the entire Ganzhou County, so please don't do anything to innocent people."

"I don't understand what you are saying"

"Yes, I deserve to die."

"What's going on? Why is this happening?"

"Oh, I was wondering how that lawyer got rich so quickly. He was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat. Fortunately, he could get a salary from the government office. He has gradually become wealthy since the past few years. His concubines have been brought to his house one by one. Look, this government office is almost his. He even lied to people that his ancestors left him money. He is so conscienceless. Damn him. He took over other people's fish ponds and forced them to death. Have you all forgotten?"

"Yes, wasn't it just two years ago? Didn't he bring the girl from that family into his house? A few days later, she was carried out and thrown into a mass grave. It was my wife who buried her," said a white-haired old man.

"Yes, we can actually cover the fish pond, but he said that although the emperor has not decided who will be the boss, we still have to pay taxes. Ten cents per mu, isn't this the end of our lives? How can a family survive with more than ten mu?" An old woman was already in tears.

"Silence!" Su Jinyu slammed the gavel.

"First, have Ying Fugui sign and lock him up in jail. I will make a decision after I give you the information you mentioned above." Su Jinyu solved the case quickly. The people outside must have seen the notice, so he had to take advantage of this good opportunity to tell everyone in person.
