Zhao Xi took over what his mother had said and continued to talk about the matter.

After learning the truth of the matter, Zhao Xi and Zhao Qishi, with the help of fellow villager Zhao Fuquan, took out all the money left at home and went to Shuoshui City in an attempt to rescue Qiaoying. Unexpectedly, they spent more than half of the three hundred taels of silver without any effect.

.

Now in the middle of winter, even if there is still a house on more than 100 acres of land, even if they want to sell it to raise money, they can't find a buyer for a while. Zhao Qi's mother and son are heartbroken. Fortunately, the madam Yan of "Qunfang Jingyan House"

My mother and several oiran ladies were very loyal. When they learned about this incident, they went around to help smoothen the relationship. However, they knew that Mr. Zhou Shi was very busy and repeatedly asked to see him.

Mother Yan was helpless, so she borrowed another five hundred taels of silver notes to Zhao Xi, asking him to go to the Criminal Department of the capital to complain about his grievances and find a way to rescue Qiaoying. As for Shuoshui City, they first helped to clear the prison side so that Qiaoying would at least not be there.

Suffering injustice in prison.

After Zhao Xi discussed with his mother, Zhao Qi, they decided to sue the officials from the people. No matter what, they had to fight ten times before complaining. How could they stand it when their mother, son, old, weak, sick, and disabled all took advantage of them? But it was not necessary to sue the people from the people.

, if the elders sue their descendants and nephews who are within the fifth generation of the family, as long as there is clear evidence that the descendants have not supported themselves for more than three months, they will be sued one by one.

So the Zhao Qi family decided to destroy their relatives in a righteous way and accused Zhao Huan of being unfilial.

Dayi Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety!

The Zhao Qi family was widowed at a young age and had to be half-blind to raise their two sons. However, the eldest brother actually refused to support his mother in old age and attempted to cripple his younger brother's property. This was simply an act of an animal and was not tolerated by nature.

After listening to Zhao Qishi's statement, Li Rong's face was heavy and her facial features twitched with anger, but she was cheering in her heart: God is really helping me!

Li Rong secretly has some evidence about Shi Yaoxian, the governor of Shuoshui City mentioned by Zhao Qi. This Shi Yaoxian is a loyal member of Concubine Chen's party. He has secretly embezzled a lot over the years. It can be said that he is the money bag of Concubine Chen, mother and son.

Concubine Chen favored the harem, and gave birth to two sons, the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Rui, Li Jue, and the eighth son of the emperor, Prince Qing, Li Yue, who were also very popular with the Holy Lord. Concubine Chen, Liu Jingxian, came from a wealthy family, and her natal family was a famous hairpin family, known as the No. 1 family in Hexi.

The Liu family is a large family.

The current head of the Liu family, Liu Yun, is smooth and worldly. Although he does not hold any actual position, he has quite good relations with powerful families and officials from all walks of life.

Liu Yun and her younger sisters in the palace cooperated with each other and relied on each other. The Liu family's power became increasingly solid, and they were the most important support for Concubine Chen, mother and son. Concubine Chen, who favored the harem and had two sons by her side, was the Liu family's greatest source of friendship with officials.

chips.

Li Rong's mother, Concubine Xie Shun, had been oppressed by Concubine Chen for many years. Li Rong's eldest sister, born from the same mother, was designed by Concubine Chen to marry far away from Saibei. This hatred is as deep as the sea.

For many years, Li Rong had been trying every possible means to seduce Concubine Chen and her son secretly without leaving any trace. However, he was weak and had little effect.

Now that God has opened his eyes and presented such a wonderful opportunity, how could Li Rong not take advantage of it?!

There are four divisions under the Ministry of Punishment, which have been responsible for revising and improving laws and regulations. The second is responsible for reviewing cases across the country, striving to ensure that there is no unjust case or wrongful conviction. The third is responsible for managing prisons and important criminals. The fourth is responsible for sending, receiving and processing documents in various places.

Daily government affairs.

Yunxiao is in the second most important department. Once civilians complain about their grievances, they must be investigated. Although Zhao Qi is suing the people from the people, the cases she reported involve officials being corrupt and disregarding human lives.

Xiao pays more attention to it.

Master Xiao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, who was slow to arrive after Li Rong, handed over his golden fish talisman to Yun Xiao and asked him to go to Shuoshui City first and quickly take Qiao Ying out of prison to find out the truth.

Without saying a word, Li Rong went back with Zhao Xi and his party with twelve guards, and asked Yun Xiao to take Qiao Ying out of prison and bring her to the Zhao family gathering. They would reunite their family first, and then collect evidence on the spot to retry the case.

case, and additionally convicted Zhao Huan.

Chu Wan's shameless biological father, Chu Lingzhou, works in the most leisurely department of the Criminal Department. He makes tea every day and writes the so-called laws. Because he is too busy, he has a lot of time to help King Rui pay attention to everything in the Criminal Department. Li

The movements on Rong's side could not escape his secret attention.

During lunch time, Chu Lingzhou hurriedly reported the changes in the Criminal Department to Prince Rui. Unfortunately, Prince Rui, who was thinking hard about how to place his people into various departments in the Ministry of Personnel, did not take it to heart. On the contrary, in the Ministry of Etiquette, it seemed that

After receiving the news, Prince Qing, who was very leisurely, immediately took some exquisite jewelry and clothing, and on the pretext that he wanted to give them to Concubine Chen, he went to the palace to discuss with Concubine Chen.

Prince Jin, who was at the Ministry of Works, was seriously discussing with a group of officials in charge of water conservancy and rivers the feasibility of continuing to expand the Kyoto Canal, how much budget would be needed, and other issues. He seemed to have no idea about the coming storm.

As soon as King Qi and Yun Xiao left, the wise king Li Wei, who was carefully checking the military registration and ordnance registration details across the country at the Ministry of War, was hit by an account book that fell from the sky, making him dizzy.

Wu Ning, who could run freely inside the Ministry of War with his eyes closed, made an embarrassed face and folded the roof tiles back together with ease. He was familiar with the roads and walked out without leaving a trace to report the news.

.

Li Wei rubbed the forehead of his bag, gritted his teeth and picked up the account book, and a piece of paper fell out. Li Wei picked it up and looked at it, his brows suddenly filled with joy, and then he frowned and questioned.

The note contained a simple sentence: "The boat of Longsheng Grain Co., Ltd. at Shuoshui Pier is full of stolen goods for Liu Yun."

Li Wei quickly flipped through the account book, which was filled with records of when and where Shi Yaoxian, the governor of Shuoshui Prefecture, gave it to whom and what he gave it to. This account book is just a record of one year in the eighteenth year of Taihe. It is roughly estimated that it is at least close to

Out of the five million taels of silver, there were two million taels of silver and various clothing, fur, and jewelry given to Concubine Chen alone. Shi Yaoxian had been the governor of Shuoshui for seventeen years. Calculated in this way, the amount is staggering.

!

It was lunch time. Li Wei thought for a moment and hurried back to the mansion to discuss with his think tank. In the afternoon, Li Wei made a plan and decisively entered the palace to ask for an audience with the Holy Lord.

The Holy Master's face remained as usual, and he slowly flipped through the account books page by page. Li Wei stood aside obediently, waiting quietly.

"Hollow hairpin with chrysanthemum pattern, Chaoyang nine-tailed and five-phoenix hairpin with pearls, ruby ​​carved crested hairpin, nine-phoenix Chaoyang hairpin, crystal silver hairpin with royal phoenix, inlaid gemstone white jade peony hairpin, gold inlaid with beads hollow colorful phoenix hairpin playing with pearls

, tortoise shell inlaid with pearls, coral, squirrel and grape hairpin, gold dragon and jade hairpin, jasper dragon and phoenix hairpin, golden silk inlaid with precious peony hairpin." The Holy Lord pointed at each item one by one and said in a calm tone: "I remember that Concubine Chen wore these things.

Pass."

Li Wei felt happy in his heart. He didn't expect the Holy Master to remember it so clearly. Besides, no matter how favored Concubine Chen was, she was still just a concubine. This Peony and Feng Chai were only available to the main wife, and the nine-tailed Feng Chai was currently only available to the main wife.

There is only one Queen available in the world. If you really care about it, Concubine Chen will not be able to escape the crime of transgression.

Li Wei's face remained calm and he did not directly answer the Holy Lord's question: "This matter involves too much, and I dare not make my own decisions at will."

"So you just threw this hot potato to me, right?" The Holy Master closed the account book and explained: "Lao Tian, ​​pass on my decree, let Zhao Baoshan lead 600 city guards to Shuoshui, seal the government office and

All case files will be re-checked and Shi Yaoxian will be escorted to Beijing."

The Holy Lord actually made such a resolute decision so calmly and calmly. Li Wei couldn't react for a moment and was a little stunned.

The Holy Master threw the account book to Li Wei, and Li Wei hurriedly took it. "What are you doing standing still? Call the palace guards." The Holy Master turned around and took the Emperor's Sword from the shelf and handed it to Li Wei: "Take my sword with you.

, run this errand for me."
