Cao Shuduan smiled softly and teased: "I know Mr. Lin has a close relationship with Liu Mingju, but I can't ignore the facts because of this!"
"I would like to ask Lord Cao, where do I have no distinction between facts?"
Although Lin Xu bowed, his tone was very sturdy!
Although he knew that it was not good to offend Cao Shuduan, it was even more useless to speak for Liu Mingju when the court had already identified Liu Mingju's connection with the Japanese!
The wisest thing he does now is to shut up and say nothing.
But he really couldn't do it!
If Cao Shuduan slandered Liu Mingju so much, but he did not defend Liu Mingju at all, then he would look down on himself!
"Just just now, Mr. Lin said that Liu Mingju is not a greedy person, but do you know how much land the Liu family has in total? More than 10,000 acres! Do you think that these more than 10,000 acres of land are the legal income of Liu Mingju?
?”
"I don't know if it is Mr. Liu's legal income. However, Mr. Liu's ancestors have always been prominent families, and it is unknown whether this more than 10,000 acres of land was left by the ancestors of the Liu family!"
Cao Shuduan smiled softly: "Haha, it seems that Lord Liu's image as a clean official has been deeply rooted in Mr. Lin's heart! Well, let me tell you another thing. Lord Liu has three sons, among which his three sons
If you don’t do serious business all day, you like to wander around the world.”
"In theory, he was walking around the world, and it was nothing."
"However, he was not an official in the court, nor was he on duty. Liu Mingju had a military service for his third son. With this military service, he could eat and live in stations everywhere for free."
"I would like to ask Mr. Lin, is this considered using power for personal gain?"
"Of course, food and accommodation at the inn are trivial matters, but the third young master of the Liu family made a very big score. Whenever he arrived at a place, local officials would go out to the city to welcome him. They would have a good meal and drink. Before leaving, local officials would also want to leave.
I will offer a gift of respect, starting with a county government with a total of 1,000 taels of silver, and starting with a total of 2,000 taels of silver in the state government with a total of 2,000 taels of silver. If it is less, people will not collect it at all!"
"For this item alone, the third son of the Liu family has to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year!"
"The third son of the Liu family is not only greedy for money, but also very domineering!"
"Last year, the third son of the Liu family passed by Dushan County, which was a poor and remote place. Not only were the people poor, but even the county government was so poor!"
"The county magistrate of Dushan is a very honest official and never accepts bribes! However, in order to entertain the third son of the Liu family, he fed an old hen that he had been personally fed for two years and was reluctant to eat at home, and stewed it out to stew it into a stew.
He gave chicken soup to Mr. Liu San to eat! As a result, the third son of the Liu family thought he had neglected himself, so he actually instructed his slaves to hang up the magistrate of Dushan County and beat him up!”
"After that, the Dushan County Magistrate was so embarrassed that he actually committed suicide by taking poison!"
