Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

The interrogation was still going on. At Jimo Yuan's command, the famous salt merchants in the city were pushed onto the stage. Each of them looked ashen, and some of them had collapsed on the ground like dead dogs.

Shen Shaoyan held the record and said loudly: "Fu Youcai, occupied good farmland, and killed four civilians. Do you admit it or not?"

"I admit it, I admit it! Please make a new decision, sir."

"Ge Jiafu, forced women of good families into prostitution, occupied the Gu family's dyeing house and cloth shop... Lu Yunlai, robbed the Lin family's property, beat to death two elderly people in the Lin family, and forcibly took the Li family's daughter as a concubine..."

Most people confessed, and even a few who were unwilling to confess confessed when faced with solid evidence.

Jimo Yuan: "Who gave you the courage to be so tyrannical? Aren't you afraid of the law?"

The evil wealthy businessman looked at Admiral Lu without saying a word.

Yan Qingtian: "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. Lu Zhenhai, do you have anything to confess?"

Lu Zhenhai clenched his fists tightly: "Sir, I don't know any of this."

"What an ignorant person! Someone, bring up the witness!"

After seeing who was coming, Lu Zhenhai's pupils constricted, and the onlookers were also a little confused.

Magistrate He, isn’t he dead?

As soon as Magistrate He arrived on the stage, he knelt down and burst into tears.

He said that he was incompetent and arrested these evil businessmen, but the next moment he was asked by Admiral Lu to release them and threatened him with his son. He wanted to muster up the courage to not release them, but Admiral Lu sent people to open the cell openly and released all the people he had arrested. Recently, he even sent people to assassinate him.

The students who chose to go to the government office stood up and said, "We can all testify that the people who assassinated the prefect and were hung on the city wall were indeed Admiral Lu's men. If it weren't for his instructions, who would dare to assassinate a fourth-rank official of the court!"

Lord Di said angrily, "What a great Admiral Lu, you take human life lightly and disregard the laws of the country. You are an official of the first rank of the Great Mo Dynasty. Are you worthy of the people under you and worthy of the promotion by His Majesty?"

Prime Minister Fang said, "Your Majesty appointed you as the governor to protect the people, but you murdered loyal officials, led your subordinates to run rampant in the countryside, and acted as a protective umbrella for local bullies. You really failed His Majesty's trust! Killing you a hundred times is not too much."

Admiral Lu was still trying to argue: "I was busy suppressing the pirates, I really didn't know about these things!"

Prefect He wiped away his tears and said, "I have evidence. This is a threatening letter sent to me by Admiral Lu. It is written in his own handwriting. Your Excellency will understand."

A stack of letters was presented, which contained not only Admiral Lu's signature, but also the seal of the Admiral's Office.

Prime Minister Fang said: "Lu Zhenhai, the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say!"

Admiral Lu broke out in a cold sweat. Why was the letter still there? Didn't they say it was burned? What on earth was going on?

Lu Yanzhou was also confused. There was such a big fire that night and he watched the study burn to ashes before he left. He was sure that Magistrate He did not come out. Could there be some secret passage inside?

There was indeed a secret passage, which was deployed in advance by Jimo Yuan and Prefect He. They didn't know when Admiral Lu would take action, so they prepared to let Prefect He escape first to avoid being endlessly assassinated by Admiral Lu.

Shen Shaoyan arrived earlier than Jimo Yuan expected, so Prefect He only hid for two days before coming out.

Admiral Lu still refused to admit it: "My Lords, these are all forged by them."

"What a forgery! All the wealthy businessmen present here, tell me for yourselves, have you colluded with Lu Zhenhai? Has he supported you?"

The wealthy businessmen were trembling with fear, and Shen Shaoyan shouted: "Tell the truth!"

The wealthy businessmen shuddered, their mental defenses collapsed, and one of them finally admitted that it was indeed Admiral Lu who was protecting them from behind.

"If it weren't for Admiral Lu, we wouldn't have the courage to do this. Prefect He is no pushover either..."

If there is one, there will be two, and the wealthy businessmen all admit it.

Yan Qingtian slammed the table and said, "Lu Zhenhai, are you going to confess or not?!"

Faced with the angry glares of the people in the city and the covetous eyes of the three adults, Admiral Lu felt very pressured and finally couldn't bear it and admitted it.

He thought that this matter could be a big deal or a small one, at most he would lose his job.

However, what he didn't expect was that Jimo Yuan suddenly smiled meaningfully.

"Since you admit that these letters were written by you, then you should explain the illegal salt trafficking. According to what you wrote in your letters, you are all the same. All the salt merchants present here will be punished one by one. As I said before, those who confess themselves can be given a lighter punishment."

Selling illegal salt!

The people were in an uproar, it was a serious crime of confiscating property and killing people!

"I was wondering why Admiral Lu was protecting these salt merchants. It turns out there is a conflict of interest."

"As expected, the things that make His Majesty send the prince as an imperial envoy are all important events, and all of you gentlemen are important pillars of the court..."

Admiral Lu thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect that the smuggling of salt had also been discovered by them. In front of everyone, Shen Shaoyan handed the evidence he had found in Jimo Yuan to Prime Minister Fang.

Admiral Lu's face turned pale. These were all his stolen things, how could they have them!

"Lu Zhenhai lied about the salt production at the salt field, sold official salt as private salt, and transported it to various cities by water, evading salt taxes and infringing on the interests of the court. He should be executed according to the law."

He Zhifu said: "I testify that this matter is true. In addition, there is another person who can confirm it. He is a spy planted by me in the salt field. The daily salt production is recorded."

When the person he was talking about jumped onto the platform, the salt merchants saw that there was no way back and they all bowed their heads and confessed their crimes. Admiral Lu was disheartened.

General Chen wanted to take the responsibility on himself, but no one present was stupid and no one would let him do whatever he wanted. He also added an extra layer of guilt to this incident and was sentenced to execution in the autumn.

Admiral Lu winked at Lu Yanzhou, then suddenly stood up and started attacking the people next to him. The people who followed him jumped up one after another. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, they might as well fight hard.

Someone from the audience quickly rushed to the stage to cover Admiral Lu's retreat. Shen Shaoyan led the Shen family army to fight with them, killing most of them and capturing some alive. When they were counting the number of people, they found that Lu Yanzhou had escaped.

Jimo Yuan: "Pass the order down, seal off the entire city."

…………~~~…………

Sheng Qiyue took advantage of the time when Jimo Yuan and Shen Shaoyan left, put on a veil, took the gold she had saved, rented a carriage and left the city.

It was really strange today. There were few pedestrians on the street. When I asked, I found out that they all went to watch the interrogation of the Imperial Envoy.

The coachman was an elderly man who also wanted to join in the fun, so he asked Sheng Qiyue to stay in the carriage outside the crowd and he nimbly slipped into the crowd.

Sheng Qiyue Erkang hand...

Unable to find another carriage for a while, Sheng Qiyue secretly lifted the curtain and looked, secretly wondering whether she should leave first.

However, as soon as she got off the carriage, there was a commotion outside, and everyone was running for their lives. The driver came back in a flash, "Girl, get on the carriage quickly, let's go!"
