The smile on Zi Yi's face visibly froze for a moment after hearing his words.

However, Zhao Cuo still noticed this fleeting microexpression.

He pretended that he found nothing, continued to sigh and shook his head, and said in a regretful tone:

"How can a dignified nobleman like Tianhuang become a thief? For such a big crime as smuggling longevity medicine into the capital, if it weren't for the prince, I'm afraid it would bring trouble to the three clans. He might be able to die, but some people will be executed by the clan.

"

"Mr. Zhao, are you talking about Prince Youjun, who is known as the wise king?"

Ziyi asked curiously.

"snort!"

Zhao Cuo, however, stopped talking nonsense to her, waved his hands and sneered, looking at her with pity.

"Did the girl in purple know that the false accusation was meant to be reversed? You slandered Mrs. Yan for being involved in the cigarette trafficking case! This is a serious crime that will bring harm to the family! You have more than 500 members of the family, and I am afraid that all of them will be sent to southern Xinjiang this time!"

"My lord is joking."

Zi Yi's face turned pale for a moment, but she quickly bowed her head and sighed softly, having received professional training, and said softly:

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"A civilian girl has been innocent all her life. I hope that the masters from Qingtian who come to the execution department will clear my name. What I did was because I was forced to do nothing. How can I be guilty?"

"The girl is so cruel."

Zhao Cuo shook his head.

"Both of your parents died when you were young, and it was your aunt who raised you. Now that you have become a member of the Dao Sect, you have become outstanding. Is your reward for your upbringing the same as sending them to die in the wilderness?"

"Folk girls are innocent."

Ziyi lowered his head and said softly.

"You can be."

Zhao Cuo suddenly changed his tone. He reached out and pinched Ziyi's chin and lifted it up, then showed her a warm smile.

"The girl in purple must have been forced to reach this stage, right? It doesn't matter. According to Dayu law, crimes committed under coercion can be exempted from punishment. As long as you actively cooperate with the investigation of our execution department,

There is absolutely no problem in exchanging merit for guilt."

"yes!"

Ziyi nodded repeatedly.

"The few opium dens that my master asked me to take care of have been revealed by the folk girl. As long as you say a word, I am willing to do anything!"

"Stubborn!"

Zhao Cuo coldly turned her face away.

"I will tell you the truth."

He looked down at Ziyi with cold eyes.

"The Empress Dowager has given me full authority to handle the case of drinking on the Bihuayang. The right and wrong are just a matter of my thoughts. In order to achieve the correct result, I can do anything!"

Zhao Cuo continued to speak expressionlessly to Zi Yi, who was already intimidated by his momentum.

"I will give you two choices now. You can either reveal the person behind the scenes. I will treat you as having no choice but to ask the Queen Mother to pardon you. Otherwise, the main crime in this case is that you have repeatedly concealed it! So many crimes make it difficult for you to do so.

It’s not an exaggeration to think that all of your clan’s heads will fall to the ground!”

His cold voice echoed in the cell.

Ziyi lowered her head and her delicate body trembled slightly.

It took her a while before she spoke.

"Folk girl... I don't know what you are talking about."

"good!"

Zhao Cuo laughed angrily for a moment. He really didn't expect that his intimidation and inducement still couldn't make Ziyi open his mouth, and he didn't want to waste any more time.

"Just wait here to sign and pledge it!"

He said and turned to leave.

"Sir, wait a minute..."

At this time, the moon falls and the sun rises.

Under the dimly lit sky, several teams quietly poured out of the execution office.

They flew towards Xiang Jing with clear goals.

…

"Why did the executioner surround Prince Youjun's palace?"

"Brother, haven't you heard yet? Early this morning, the execution department sealed off all the stores of the Huting Chamber of Commerce in Beijing. They found several opium dens and arrested hundreds of people in public!"

"The case of drinking the Bihuafang a few days ago is actually related to the Huting Chamber of Commerce? But what does this have to do with King Youxian? The emperor's relatives are all cigarette dealers, so Da Yu must have died long ago!"

A lot of people gathered not far from the main entrance of the Prince's Mansion. They all came here because they heard about it. The emperor's feet are full of people who have nothing to do.

"Chief Yan Yang, what do you mean?"

Prince Youjun, who was wearing a blue brocade robe, looked at the executioners at the door of his house with an unhappy expression.

"Is it possible that there are still any suspects hidden in the palace of Prince Youjun? When will the execution department still have the authority to take charge of my clan? Where can I put His Majesty, Emperor Taizu?"

"This is the Queen Mother's intention."

Chief Yan Yang unfolded the black silk book in his hand with a cold face.

"We have been ordered to do something. Not even a fly can fly out of Prince Youjun's Mansion today. Your Highness, please go back to the Mansion to rest."

"I……"

Prince Youjun was choked when he saw the Yizhi in his hand, and the arrogance on his face subsided, but he reacted quickly and spoke again.

"Of course I dare not disobey the Queen's decree! But you should also pay attention to evidence when handling cases, right? If the law is enforced randomly, I will ask my father to come to the palace to take part in your investigation!"

"Our company has recently investigated the case of the Huting Chamber of Commerce transporting cigarettes into Beijing. Youjun Palace is also a member of this chamber of commerce. Many doubts have been pointed at you and others during the investigation. Please understand our difficulties and stop pestering us.

"

Chief Yan Yang said calmly.

"Well, let's take what Mr. Yan said to be true, but even if my palace has it, it should be taken care of by the clan, right?"

Prince Youjun said angrily.

"The Queen Mother allows us to handle special matters."

Yan Da, the executioner, refused to give in.

"I think you are just misinterpreting your Majesty's holy will. You think that I, the orphan and widowed father of Prince Youjun, are easy to bully. Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so angry that he immediately coined a word. As he spoke, he walked forward regardless, humming in his mouth.

"My prince has made an appointment with a friend to fight crickets. If Mr. Yan has the courage to take action, I will fall down here and not get up!"

The Duke of Zheng's Mansion and Prince Youjun's Mansion were only a few blocks away. Miss Zhao, who had invited the little sisters to come to her house for tea, also came over after hearing the news. She couldn't help but frowned when she saw this scene.

"How come Prince Youjun is still a scoundrel?"

"Don't you know, sister? Prince Youjun has a reputation as a virtuous man, but his eldest son is a dandy who drinks wine all day long."

The best friend who came with Zhao Shangxin also curled her lips and said.

"Wrong!"

Miss Yanxin didn't hear her friend's words clearly, she looked ahead with surprise on her face, and then her delicate cherry mouth opened in surprise.

"I have never heard such a mean request!"

Zhao Cuo, who had arrived late, saw this kid messing around with his people. He stepped forward with an evil look and punched him on the bridge of the nose! He knocked him to the ground on the spot!

"ah!"

Prince Youjun let out a shrill scream!

"Zhao Cuo, you dare to beat this prince again and again, you are such a tough guy. This time I will show you some color! Wait until I enter the palace to meet the emperor!"

Young Master Zhao has no interest in listening to his nonsense.

He bent down and gave her another fierce love.
