Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Boom!

A thunder suddenly sounded in the gray sky, causing everyone present to tremble in shock.

"If there is nothing else, I will resign first!" When the old official saw that his work was over, he immediately resigned.

Lu Song suddenly walked into the hall, grabbed the old official's sleeve and said, "This old official's hands and feet are not clean. He just tampered with the scale!"

"It's an insult to being polite! It's an insult to being polite! Let go! You let go!" The old official was suddenly caught by Lu Song and immediately struggled hurriedly.

Huh?

Everyone originally thought that Lu Song's behavior was too rough, but suddenly they saw something falling from the old official's sleeve, and then everyone realized that there was something wrong with this humble old official.

Yang Jizong's accompanying master stepped forward to pick it up, his expression suddenly changed and he said: "Dong Weng, this old official really did something, please look at this!"

Wang Yu couldn't help but gasped when he saw that it was a small piece of Ci Stone.

If it weren't for the vicious eyes of the Jin Yiwei sent by His Majesty to protect his grandfather, even if his grandfather was in the hall with Yang Jizong, he would have been played by this cunning old official.

When Li Guangming saw this scene, he couldn't help but frowned. He really violated his "destiny" today.

"The young official is confused. This...the county magistrate ordered me to do this!" When the old official saw what had happened, he immediately knelt on the ground and confessed to Xiao Zhixian.

Xiao Zhixian pointed to the bridge of his nose in disbelief. That look was as unfair as it seemed.

"Come here, give these two to me first, and we will sort them out later!" Yang Jizong took the Ci Shi handed over by his master and said in anger.

Although Xiao Zhixian shouted that he was wronged, he was still arrested directly by the entourage of the Inspector.

When Wang Yue saw the magnet, he couldn't help but take a breath.

Although I have always heard that "If your official is as pure as water, you will be as smooth as oil", but when I saw it today, I realized that this statement was not adulterated at all. It was also a sign of gratitude to Lu Song who had uncovered the old official: "Lu Song Baihu, I'm glad you caught a glimpse of the flaw, I'd like to thank you!"

"I have just said that. Fortunately, His Majesty gave me this advice before he left!" Lu Song did not accept the credit, but solemnly raised his hands in the direction of Beijing.

Wang Yue couldn't help but look to the north, also wanting to see the new king who used him again. He didn't seem to be as incapable of making decisions on his own as rumored.

The people in the hall gritted their teeth with hatred when they saw that it was the old officials who had committed the deception. These officials who had been entrenched in Jingshan County for generations were a hundred times more hateful than Xiao Zhixian.

Yang Jizong also felt that there were complicated mistakes in local personnel. Naturally, he did not dare to use people from Jingshan County government anymore, so he asked his accompanying master to weigh salt in person.

Sure enough, as everyone guessed, the bag of salt was exactly the same as the scale in question, proving that this salt indeed belonged to the salt purchased by Hu Daniu.

Yang Jizong looked at Liu Jiamo who was kneeling in the hall, and immediately asked in a deep voice, "Liu Jiamo, why don't you give me a truthful explanation?"

"The student pleads guilty. Please, Mr. Tai, consider this the student's first offense and give him a lighter sentence!" Liu Jiamo's body was already shaking like chaff, and he immediately chose to plead guilty and beg for mercy.

"First offender? No one dared to punish him before!"

"This time I forced someone to death, how could I still let him go so easily?"

"It's really an embarrassment to our Jingshan that such a polite scum has appeared!"

…

When the people in the hall saw that Liu Jiamo finally confessed, no one sympathized with the child in Jingshan County, so they all criticized him.

"The villain was deceived by lard. This time he accepted Liu Jiamo's money, so he gave false testimony for him!" Shopkeeper Zhao of the Salt Bank saw Yang Jizong looking at him and begged for mercy.

"Young man also accepted Liu Jiamo's money, so I gave him perjured testimony. Please forgive me, sir!" When the teahouse owner saw that his accomplice had confessed, he immediately confessed and begged for mercy.

When Yang Jizong saw that the truth of the case had been revealed, he took a photo and said in shock: "Did you know that it was precisely because of the perjury of the two of you, and precisely because of your greed, Liu Jiamo, that Hu Daniu was forced to death?"

When the people in the hall heard this, they were also sighing.

"This villain is just greedy for money. Please show mercy to me, Lord Inspector!" The two shopkeepers didn't want to be involved in the murder case, so they immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Wang Yu saw that the two shopkeepers were blaming everything on Liu Jiamo, while the silent Liu Jiamo was already taking the blame alone, so he couldn't help but frown and look at Li Guangming.

Although he had no solid evidence in his hand, he was very sure that Li Guangming was the real mastermind behind the scenes. Unfortunately, judging from the evidence currently available, it is impossible to pin the charge on Li Guangming.

When Yang Jizong saw that all three people had confessed, he naturally didn't want to cause any further trouble, so he asked the three people to sign their names separately.

At this point, the case has become very clear. Hu Daniu came to Jingshan County to buy salt, but when he was drinking tea in a teahouse, Liu Jiamo, a boy from Jingshan County, stole the salt from a sheep. Hu Daniu was found to have stolen the salt and was injured.

In order to avoid taking responsibility, Liu Jiamo bribed the two shopkeepers of the salt shop and the teahouse, and confuse right and wrong during the trial in Xiaozhi County, and then falsely accused Hu Daniu of robbing salt and hurting people, which led to Hu Daniu's unwillingness to lose millet to atone for his death.

When Yang Jizong saw that the three confessions were correct, he immediately took the gavel tree and slapped it hard: "Put these three people in jail! The case is complicated. We will go to court tomorrow to pronounce the verdict. Retreat!"

Liu Jiamo and the other three were taken away dejectedly, but when they left, they couldn't help but glance at Li Guangming.

Li Guangming sat on the chair with a sullen face until Liu Jiamo and the other three left, then a faint smile appeared on his face, as if everything was under his control.

"These three people really deserve their punishment!"

"Why do I think there's another one?"

"Shhh! Keep your voice down, the results we're getting now are pretty good!"

…

When the people in the hall saw Yang Jizong announcing his resignation, they could only obediently be driven away by the evil officials of the county government. Although some people were disappointed that Li Guangming was not punished, some older people knew that this result had already come. Not easy anymore.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, what happened to Hu Daniu is really regrettable, and now we have sought justice for Hu Daniu!" Yang Jizong walked down the hall, looking very regretful.

Wang Yue looked at the paperweight in his hand, but he was not happy at all.

Not to mention that this justice is mixed with water, even if it is belated justice, it will be late after all, and Hu Daniu is already dead and cannot be resurrected.

When will this world be truly fair and selfless?

"Now that the case has been revealed, I have just asked my subordinates to prepare a banquet at the house, and I have invited the imperial envoy and Mr. Zedai to go there!" Li Guangming immediately invited warmly as if he was a different person.

Yang Jizong was a man who longed for old friendships. What's more, Xu Pu, who was the same year as Li Guangming, was kind to him, so he extended an invitation to Wang Yue and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down and talk about it first!"

"Sir Nitai, now that your case has been handled, it is now my imperial envoy's turn to handle the case!" Wang Yue was naturally unlikely to be a guest at Li Guangming's home, but he spoke surprisingly to Yang Jizong.

Yang Jizong looked at Wang Yue with great confusion, but he didn't understand what kind of case there could be here.

Wang Yu was also stunned for a moment, and he also didn't understand which song his grandfather was going to sing.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, do you think that Hu Daniu's case is related to the official? The official and Hu Daniu have no grievances. They were both deceived by the villain this time. Otherwise, the official would not have come here to listen, and would still be fooled in front of the two adults. What a loss of face!" Li Guangming said to himself immediately as he had already left a way out for himself.

Wang Yue knew that it would be difficult to trace Hu Daniu's case to an old fox like Li Guangming. They all said, "If your officialdom is as clean as water, it will be hard to escape the officialdom as slippery as oil." In fact, officials are not "officials as slippery as oil"?

Crackling...

The gloomy sky finally ushered in an autumn rain. The intensity of this autumn rain was not small, as if it wanted to wash away this sinful Jingshan City.

Wang Yue looked at the rain curtain outside and said with emotion: "When I first came here, I asked Xiao Zhixian a question, why is the salt in Jingshan so much cheaper than Anlu? Xiao Zhixian's answer at that time was that he had good governance. Fang, but now Guan Xiaozhi is just a confused magistrate, how can he possibly control Jingshan, a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. Similar problems, Shopkeeper Zhao of the Salt Bank has always claimed that he is a kind-hearted person, but after the case of Hu Daniu, it is clear He is just a greedy and treacherous businessman, as for Mr. Li, haha!"

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, what do you mean by 'haha'?" Li Guangming frowned slightly, completely confused as to what the Imperial Envoy meant when he sang.

Wang Yue turned to look at Li Guangming, and suddenly said with piercing eyes: "Sir Li, I also want to hear your answer, why is the salt in Jingshan County cheaper than the salt in Anlu Prefecture by 150 cents?"

Boom!

After a white lightning flashed across the sky, a thunder rumbled through the entire Jingshan County.

Li Guangming was so frightened that his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Wang Yue in disbelief with two eyes that seemed to hit people's hearts.
