Li Xinran took the confession from Xiao Ran and read it quickly, closing his eyes slightly and letting out a sigh of relief.

"Arrest people according to the list above, and don't let anyone go."

The mutual protection between officials is vividly demonstrated in this prosperous Jiangzhou.

During this period, Li Xinran could be regarded as seeing the inaction of Jiangzhou officials. There was no one who could do anything.

The actual taxes collected by Jiangzhou more than doubled the taxes stipulated above.

Even so, Jiangzhou is one of the CCCC's long sellers among all places. It is conceivable how rich this Jiangzhou official is.

"Yes."

Xiao Ran took the order and left.

After Jiedushi was imprisoned, all the officials who had good personal relations with Jiedushi were in danger and refused to leave or take a step forward.

In the rather luxurious mansion, Master Chang was sitting in his favorite concubine's room, panic flashing in his eyes.

The concubine, who knew nothing about the outside news, looked at her panicked master, her eyes full of confusion, and she spoke softly to comfort him.

"Master, Master~ What's wrong with you?"

Master Chang was facing the comforting voice of his beloved concubine, but his spirit was not at all relaxed, and he was in a trance.

The concubine glanced at Lord Chang suspiciously and raised her hand to touch Lord Chang's chest, as if she had inadvertently exposed her jade-white wrist.

"Master~, Master, just look at me~"

Faced with his concubine's coquettish behavior, Master Chang frowned, pushed her to the ground, turned and left the room.

I secretly despised him in my heart. He was indeed an unworthy person.

The concubine felt severe pain all over her body, but a dark color flashed in her eyes. What happened to this old thing?

When the maid saw the master leaving the master's room angrily, she frowned and entered the room.

"Go and check, what happened?"

With the help of the maid, the concubine sat down on the chair, her brows furrowed, and a bad thought came into her mind.

She knew very well that her master's virtue could make him look so panicked, and she was afraid that something serious had happened.

If something really happened, she would have to make plans early. She didn't want to suffer with that old man.

The maid slowly left the room to find out the information her master wanted.

On the other side, Master Chang had already arrived in front of his wife. Mrs. Chang looked at the panicked Master Chang, with a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

Mrs. Chang's marriage to Mr. Chang was a low-level marriage. Mrs. Chang's natal family loved this daughter very much.

The purpose of doing this is just to support Mrs. Chang and not to let her daughter be bullied by her husband's family.

For this reason, Mrs. Chang's mother-in-law wrote a letter to her daughter as soon as she received the news.

Mrs. Chang naturally understood what her parents meant, so when she saw her husband appearing in her room, she took out a letter of separation.

"Let's make peace."

Mrs. Chang was dignified and self-possessed, and was not liked by Mr. Chang, so she rarely slept in Mrs. Chang's room. Therefore, Mrs. Chang had no children.

It is also for this reason that Mrs. Chang doesn't like Mrs. Chang at all, but because Mrs. Chang's natal family is strong, it is difficult to do anything.

Master Chang looked at the Heli book that Mrs. Chang took out, his expression was stunned, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

He originally wanted to have his eldest wife, but he begged her mother-in-law, and nothing might happen to him.

Now it seems that he really thought too much...

Master Chang Shi Shiran sat opposite Mrs. Chang, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Madam, what are you talking about? You and I are one flesh and blood. You should never say such words."

"My parents' family has sent me a letter, and my close relatives have arrived and signed the marriage and divorce agreement.

You and I can get together and part ways easily, which can be regarded as the completion of our friendship over the years. "

Mrs. Chang only thought it was funny when she said that. She, the real wife, was worse than a concubine in this house. It was really ridiculous.

"impossible."

Mr. Chang knew his fate very well, so how could he just let Mrs. Chang have a chance of survival and leave like this?

Mrs. Chang's expression turned cold, and there was a bit of coldness in her eyes.

"If you sign this divorce agreement, you can still keep your meager face."

"Just because you have doted on concubines and killed wives all these years, your end will not be easy no matter where you are."

Mrs. Chang is not a good person. The reason why she didn't care before was just because the Chang family hadn't really angered her yet.

"You, you, you're fine! Fine!"

Judging from the current situation, once the general frees up his hands, he, the official in charge of Jiangzhou's money, will definitely be doomed.

Mr. Chang was so angry that he was going to be doomed no matter what. He smashed the jar and looked at Mrs. Chang with a sneer.

"I'm telling you, don't even think about Heli."

After speaking, Master Chang waved his sleeves and left the room.

Mrs. Chang's personal maid appeared in the room, looking at her wife with worry in her eyes.

Mrs. Chang sat at the table, with a cold look in her eyes. Since she is shameless, she doesn't need to worry about anything.

Mrs. Chang's family soon received a letter from her daughter, and the group quickly knocked on Li Xinran's door.

……

Early on the next morning, Chang Mansion was surrounded by Xiao Ran and a group of government officials. Passers-by looked at these people curiously.

"General, are you going to start investigating these dog officers?"

"It seems to be true."

Because Li Xinran was here, the people no longer cared about it as before, and they complained one by one.

"It should have been like this a long time ago. These bad officials know every way to increase taxes all day long."

"If it weren't for the general's kindness, we would still be kept in the dark."

"I really hope the general will arrest these dog officers quickly so that they don't dare to act so wantonly."

When the servants of the Chang Mansion saw that something was not going well, they immediately turned around and walked inside. Panic soon spread in the Chang Mansion.

The expression of the maid beside the concubine changed and she hurried back to her master's room.

"No, something big happened."

The concubine walked around the room, frowning, trying hard to think about what made the old guy behave like that.

When she heard the maid's voice, the concubine's eyes changed and she grabbed the maid's arm.

"What did you say happened?"

The maid was stiff all over, her face was pale, she was biting her lip, blood seeping out bit by bit, and she said tremblingly:

"They said that the government sent people to surround Chang Mansion. No one has seen the leader."

"Jiedushi was imprisoned by the general some time ago. Our master has always been highly valued by Jiedushi and is also in charge of Jiangzhou's money.

Tell me, will you..."

The maid looked at her master with a hint of fear in her eyes. She couldn't imagine how they would deal with it if this was really the case.

At this time, the concubine calmed down, sat back at the table, and slowly took a sip of tea.

"I'm just a concubine, how do I know what the master has done?"

After hearing the master's words, the maid's expression gradually calmed down.
