After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Ji Fang questioned, "Minister Xie, Princess, what qualifications do you have to search the county magistrate's house? You are ignoring the law. I will report it to the emperor."

Xie Boyuan ignored him, but Murong Yu thought it was ridiculous and asked, "County Magistrate Ji, you are joking. If the emperor didn't agree, do you think this princess and the prince consort would do this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Fang stood there as if he had been struck by lightning.

What? The emperor agreed to this? Could it be that the emperor already knew what he had done? Then could his brother-in-law still come to save him?

An hour later, the guards dug out three large boxes from under his house.

"Thank you, Minister, Princess. I dug out three large boxes of silver from Magistrate Ji's backyard. A rough estimate is that there are at least several hundred thousand taels of silver."

Xie Boyuan was surprised to hear this figure, even though he had heard about it from his mother. How could a ninth-rank official have embezzled so much? He really didn't take the emperor seriously at all.

"Ji Fang, do you admit your guilt?"

What else could he say now that things had come to this? After all, they were all government silver, with marks on them. Who could he blame? Suddenly he thought of someone.

"Minister Xie, please help me seek justice. These silver coins do not belong to me, but to the governor."

Bai Yuan and Murong Yu looked at each other. This man really won't cry until he sees the coffin. The Fengshui governor is still lying sick at home, and who would have thought that a big pot would be put on him.

"Oh? The governor's silver is buried in your house? Lord Ji, do you think I'm a fool?"

"Minister Xie is real. The governor buried the silver in the mansion to avoid investigation."

Ji Fang explained tremblingly, "It was the governor who deceived his superiors and subordinates and wanted to drag me into this water, so he resorted to this bad plan. I hope the minister and the princess can understand clearly."

Before Bai Yuan could ask any questions, another group of guards came back.

"I would like to thank the Minister and the Princess."

"Guard Jiang, what did you find out from the people?"

"Thank you, Minister. With the help of the local people, I have found 10,000 taels of silver, as well as countless banknotes and valuables from Ji Fang's concubine's mansion."

After saying this, he had people bring up the boxes and open them one by one.

This scene shocked everyone, even the knowledgeable Murong Yu was stunned.

She had lived in the palace for many years, and when her father was alive, he always gave her pocket money, fearing that she would be wronged. But when she saw so much silver, she still felt that she was too narrow-minded.

"Guard Jiang, have you brought the person?"

"Bring her here!" Jiang Feng had Ji Fang's mistress dragged up.

"Who's in the audience? Tell me your name!"

The woman knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head as she answered, "My maiden name is Lin Yi, and I am Magistrate Ji's concubine."

"Do you know where all this silver comes from?" Xie Boyuan asked, he wanted to see what other excuses Ji Fang would come up with.

"My Lord, I know. This money was bribed by local bullies to Magistrate Ji. They colluded with each other and oppressed the people."

"Master Ji, do you have anything else to say this time?"

Ji Fang looked at this stinky woman viciously! She was going to kill him!

Xie Boyuan didn't waste time talking to him and directly gave him two choices.

"Ji Fang, with all the evidence, you have no choice but to die. But the emperor is so gracious and merciful that he has opened a way for you to live. It's up to you to decide whether to accept it or not."

"I want it!" Who would complain about having a bad luck?

"Don't be anxious. It won't be too late for you to make a decision after I finish speaking."

"The first option is that you refuse to tell the truth, which is a serious crime. I will behead you according to the law."

Ji Fang heard this and shook his head repeatedly, "No! He doesn't want to die!"

Xie Boyuan continued, "For the second option, if you tell me about the local tyrant and his superiors, I can spare your life, or exile your entire family and confiscate your property. Okay, it's your choice."

Ji Fang felt like crying but had no tears. So much money, and it was gone before he even had a chance to spend it?

But on one side were the lives of his entire family, and on the other side was the huge amount of money, and he felt heartbroken.

But what else can he choose besides saving his life? As long as he is alive, he will still have money.

"I will tell you everything, as long as the Minister and the Princess can spare my family's life."

"Very good." Xie Boyuan asked, "Who is the local tyrant?"

"To answer Minister Xie, the local tyrant is called Pan Dahu. His family is a well-known local tyrant. They are extremely wealthy. All the brothels and gambling houses in Fengshui County are owned by his family."

"Who is protecting you in Shangjing? What makes you so bold?"

"Yes, yes..." Ji Fang stuttered. He really didn't dare to say it.

"Master Ji, I advise you to be wise and act accordingly." Murong Yu reminded, "You also know that Minister Xie is loyal to the court and handles cases like a god. Even if you don't tell him, he will find out."

"Now he is giving you a chance to live. If you hesitate and miss the chance, you will be executed according to the law."

The two of them sang in unison, and Ji Fang was so frightened that he blurted out, "It's the Minister of War Xue Huan, my brother-in-law."

Xie Boyuan smiled slightly, "Are there any others?"

"I don't know about the others. Anyway, I only correspond with Master Xue and don't involve others."

"You are quite smart! Someone come here!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Imprison Ji Fang and his family and await their fate."

"Yes!"

After Ji Fang and others were dragged away, the next target of Xie Baiyuan and others was Pan Dahu.

"Princess, places like brothels and gambling houses are unlucky, you'd better not follow them."

"It's alright, Prince Consort. We are here to investigate a case, why do we need to be so particular?"

"Okay, you must follow me closely and never leave me alone."

"Ah."

After giving the necessary instructions, a group of people went to the brothel in a mighty manner.

As far as Xie Baiyuan could remember, the last time he came to such a place was with his mother, where he met the eldest princess by accident. It was really fate that played tricks on him.

After entering, the officers and soldiers directly surrounded the brothel.

The women were all shocked and stood there, not knowing what was going on. When the madam heard about it, she hurried over to ask.

"My dear gentlemen, why are there so many people here?"

Xie Boyuan asked, "Where is Pan Dahu now?"

The madam's eyes rolled around and she said with a smile, "So you're here to see Master Pan. He should be sleeping at home at this hour, right?"

"Really?" Xie Boyuan ordered, "Guard Jiang, take two groups of people to surround Pan Dahu, one to his home, and one to the gambling house."

"Subordinates take orders!"

Seeing the situation was serious, the madam thought of finding someone to inform the county magistrate immediately. Unexpectedly, Xie Boyuan saw through her plan.

"You don't have to find someone to deliver the message. Ji Fang has been imprisoned. It's useless to look for him! It's better for you to tell us Pan Dahu's whereabouts. You can save your life."
