Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

But now Zhao Zhuo said that such a person, who although holding an important position, was a marginal figure in the court and had no sense of existence, was actually a corrupt official who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Obviously Mu Gu couldn't believe it, but at this point, there was really no need for Zhao Zhuo to lie to him, and this sentence was most likely true.

"So, the person who embezzled Huaizhou's disaster relief money was not Qin Yanwei. He was just the scapegoat. The real mastermind behind the scenes was Xia Shijin?"

Jia Jingtian walked up slowly and asked, then saw Zhao Zhuo, who had been silent, nodded slowly. But based on Jia Jingtian's experience, such a large-scale corruption could never be done by one or two people.

There must be a gang behind this. It is the biggest cancer within the Dalong Dynasty. It will be a disaster every day if it is not eliminated.

"Xia Shijin is the only one involved in this matter?"

Zhao Zhuo was originally struggling with how to bring himself to reveal the list that An Yishou wanted him to reveal, but Jia Jingtian's question just happened to give him such an opportunity.

But Zhao Zhuo did not dare to look up. He knew very well that he would be easily exposed if he made eye contact with others, so he kept his head hanging in front of his chest and spoke in a muffled voice.

"It's not just him. There are many people involved in this matter..."

It was obvious from what Zhao Zhuo said that your behavior would attract more curiosity, but to be on the safe side, Zhao Zhuo pretended to hesitate.

"Sir...it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I really don't dare..."

"With the protection of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, I don't have to worry about offending Xia Shijin, but with so many important officials in the court, I'm afraid that even if the Seventh Prince wants to protect me, it won't be enough to stop so many people from wanting my life..."

Zhao Zhuo's worries were not without reason, and his statement was also very reasonable. Jia Jingtian also felt that he should consider it carefully, so he turned his gaze to Mu Gu, wanting to see Mu Gu's opinion.

"Just tell me what you want. I promised to protect you and I will do whatever it takes to keep you alive."

"Okay... Then I will believe His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince..."

……

And just as Zhao Zhuo said, the breadth of the list made the three people present stunned. It took half an hour just for Zhao Zhuo to say the names and write them down with a pen. Finally, they looked at the incredibly long list in their hands.

Jia Jingtian couldn't help but feel a headache. What a huge workload this would be.

Jia Jingtian and Mu Gu looked at each other, made a decision immediately, and started to act immediately. Just as everyone was about to walk out of the dungeon, Zhao Zhuo, who was tied in place, immediately spoke up to stop everyone.

"Hey! His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince! His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!"

Mu Gu paused and turned his head when he heard the voice behind him.

"Why, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Zhao Zhuo quickly shook his head, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke.

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, I am really afraid of death... so I would like to ask... Your Highness, the Seventh Prince... to save my life..."

Mu Gu raised his eyebrows. He would certainly not go back on his word, even if it was to someone he did not like.

"Don't worry, I will protect your life."

After saying that, Mu Gu left the dungeon without looking back.

……

"Do you think what Zhao Zhuo said is credible?"

Mu Gu placed the list on the table and asked the two people beside him.

After coming out of the dungeon, everyone returned to the hall, gathered in a circle and began to discuss the matter. This matter could not afford to make any mistakes.

Jia Jingtian didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, Zhao Zhuo, a coward who was afraid of death, would not have the courage to deceive Yu Mugu.

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, I think what Zhao Zhuo said is true, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer. We should act without delay and arrest all these people as soon as possible."

Mu Gu nodded thoughtfully. What Jia Jingtian said made sense. Zhao Zhuo was so afraid of someone's death that he probably didn't have the courage to tell a lie.

"Then the task of arresting these people will be handed over to Chief Jia."

Jia Jingtian quickly stood up, took a few steps back, and bowed to Mu Gu.

"I will definitely live up to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!"

After Jia Jingtian finished speaking, he turned and left the hall.

Mu Gu looked at the figure disappearing at the door, then turned to look at Xiao Ruge who had been silent beside him, and then saw Xiao Ruge's slightly frowned brows and a pair of puzzled eyes.

"What's wrong? You look so worried."

Mu Gu pulled Xiao Ruge's hand and spoke softly. After hearing the voice, Xiao Ruge slowly raised her head and looked at Mu Gu.

"Mu Gu, I always feel like something is not right."

Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge, who didn't seem to be joking, and became serious.

"Xiao Yu'er, why are you saying that?"

"Don't you think that Zhao Zhuo's behavior is too different now? When Chief Jia was interrogating him just now, he didn't say a word, but when you went there, he started talking?"

Mu Gu thought about it for a moment.

"Maybe I promised him?"

Xiao Ruge still looked worried as she looked at the empty space outside the hall.

"I hope so. There won't be any more mistakes."

……

“Everyone, you should have known what has happened in recent days, and today, we have obtained a list of corrupt officials through interrogation of the people we arrested.

"In this case, I will be thanking you all for your hard work. Please hold on, and I will give you all rewards when this is over!"

Jia Jingtian lived up to his position as the Chief Justice of Dali Temple for so long, as he knew how to boost morale. When his subordinates heard that there was a reward for silver hair, they immediately became excited and responded one after another, and then all left the Dali Temple.

Jia Jingtian led everyone to the officials' residences and arrested people one by one according to the list from Zhao Zhuo.

The first one was Xia Shijin. When Jia Jingtian brought his men to Xia Shijin's mansion, Xia Shijin felt very guilty. When he heard that Jia Jingtian was coming with a large group of people, he planned to close the door and refuse visitors, pretending that he was not at home. However, Jia Jingtian had already arrived with his men before the door of the mansion was closed.

"Ask your Master Xia to come out. There is something that needs to be inquired by the Dali Temple."

Just when the servant of Xia Mansion was about to close the door, Jia Jingtian asked someone to squeeze in. The servant was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly. Just when the servant was about to turn around and run, Jia Jingtian raised his hand and grabbed the servant by the collar, pulled him back like a chicken, and asked.

"This……"

The servant was in a dilemma. When Xia Shijin hid in the mansion, he told him to say that he was not in the mansion. But Jia Jingtian was powerful and influential, and a servant like him dared not offend him.
