Gu Siyuan explained to Qin Zhongwan one by one the evidence of the crime that Li Ce had confessed. Although Li Ce's confession was clear, it was not the time to expose Magistrate Lin's heinous crimes.

Prefect Lin must be exhausted mentally and physically. At this moment, he must be afraid that Gu Siyuan will come to settle the accounts with him. He has embezzled an unknown amount of money in Jiangnan for many years. Honey, who did he give these squeezed money to?

Now, the hidden master behind Magistrate Lin may be revealed.

"As a prince alone, he should be punished immediately and severely. However, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake."

Gu Siyuan told Qin Zhongwan his concerns without reservation. Qin Zhongwan was a smart man and naturally understood that as a prince, he could not always follow his own wishes.

They came with only one personal guard, and the guards who came later to escort the food and grass were not sure whether they were good or bad.

Gu Siyuan did not dare to use it easily, and Gu Siyi was watching closely, like a poisonous snake taking the lead in hiding, hiding in the dark and looking for opportunities to take advantage of.

"This is not Kyoto, and His Highness the Crown Prince is right to have some scruples." Qin Zhongwan sighed after finishing speaking.

Doesn't she know that she is in a difficult situation now? The prince's status is noble and respected by everyone, but that has not yet been revealed. If it is revealed and the masks of those people are revealed, then Magistrate Lin will jump over the wall and be forced to do so. On the edge of the cliff, I still don’t know what crazy things I will do.

They were in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan had already been infiltrated by their influence. To put it mildly, if something really happened to Gu Siyuan in Jiangnan, he would be isolated.

Gu Siyi is watching with eager eyes, and he has no good intentions. He is afraid that something might happen to Gu Siyuan. He likes to hear about it, and instead of helping, he will find ways to cover up other people's crimes.

Thinking about this, Qin Zhongwan only felt a headache.

He had the evidence in hand, but he couldn't act rashly yet. He could only wait patiently. Qin Zhongwan felt uncomfortable with the frustration, but Gu Siyuan only felt more uncomfortable.

Qin Zhongwan had long heard about the great power of the wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Many people secretly called them the local emperors. When they were far away in Kyoto, they even saw it with their own eyes. Qin Zhongwan only regarded it as a folk rumor and an exaggeration. Somewhat.

Now, after seeing it with her own eyes, she knew how powerful it was.

It's not just the collusion between the squires and the government. They have lived here for generations, and their families are powerful. The major families are intertwined, and one move can affect the whole body.

If they want to attack the squires, they will definitely join forces. No matter what the trouble is, it will be ordinary people who will suffer.

It is precisely because Gu Siyuan cannot be selfish and only care about his immediate fame and abandon the people that he temporarily adopts a posture of forbearance.

At the same time, just as Gu Siyuan expected, Magistrate Lin really couldn't sit still.

The deal failed, but Gu Siyuan also found Qin Zhongwan. Without the hostages he could exchange, Magistrate Lin received a few ridicules and smashed the entire house when he returned.

He stood in the mess, no longer showing his previous friendly appearance, but revealed his true face, with the fierceness in his eyebrows and eyes naked.

"A mere prince actually dares to threaten me!..."

Laifu trembled slightly, listening to his master saying many treacherous words, and he didn't know how many times he would be beheaded if word spread.

"Prepare the car and go to the campground."

But this time, Magistrate Lin didn't go to see Gu Siyuan.

He approached Gu Siyi, and Magistrate Lin didn't dare to hide anything at the moment, so he told everything.

He was kicked by Gu Siyi and scolded, "You are so stupid. Do you think that kid is someone you can touch?"

"This official is stupid, but your highness, the prince has found Li Ce. That bitch Li Ce must have caused everything. Your highness, this official pays tribute every year. Your highness, you can't ignore me!"

Gu Siyi became Magistrate Lin's only life-saving straw now, so he naturally had to hold on tightly.

He firmly grabbed the corner of Gu Siyi's clothes and knelt humbly at his feet, unable to raise his head at all.

"Boneless thing." Gu Siyi cursed. Even if he looked down upon Magistrate Lin's current weakness, the two of them were in the same boat.

"You know how powerful Brother Huang is. If any evidence falls into Brother Huang's hands, he will definitely bite it to death."

"If you want to bury this matter..."

Gu Siyi leaned down slightly and whispered a few words into Magistrate Lin's ear.

Magistrate Lin's eyes widened, and there was some hesitation on his face, but with Gu Siyi's words, the hesitation gradually turned into fierceness.

Killing and silencing can not only be used on Li Ce.

There seems to be only one way left to prevent His Highness from pursuing this matter. Only a dead person can silence him, and it is no exception when used on His Highness the Prince.

Now the situation is either his death or mine, so Magistrate Lin naturally doesn't want to die.

After listening to the third prince's words, he was willing to be a knife in his hand, pointing directly at His Highness, as long as he could keep his current glory and wealth.
