"Master Zhang, if you don't do anything wrong, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Why, do you know them?"

Ning Luo was not in a hurry at all and still let the two shadows entangle Zhang Fang, moving up and down, left and right.

In fact, those two people have already been reincarnated and cannot be summoned. Now Ning Luo is using illusion.

Because Zhang Fang had done something wrong, he saw whatever he thought of. At this moment, the phantom he saw was the faces of Yuan Zheng and Xu Gengnian.

He was the one who killed the person, so naturally he felt guilty and afraid.

Zhang Fang and a group of county officials were so frightened by the ghost that they trembled and pissed themselves.

I wanted to run but couldn't take a step, as if I was under a spell.

I became more convinced that it was the wronged ghost who was seeking revenge.

They all knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Li Yi then spoke, "It seems that you all gave false testimony before?"

"Please spare our lives, Lord Regent. We were all coerced by Lord Zhang. He killed Yuan Zheng and Xu Gengnian, saying that those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish. He is the head of the county, and we dare not disobey him, otherwise the whole family will suffer. Those two are a lesson for us..."

Li Yi was furious after hearing this. "You have an unjust case here, why didn't anyone report it to the state government?"

The yamen runner cried out for justice: "Please, Lord Regent, please look carefully. It's not that we don't want to report it, but we dare not. The governor and Mr. Zhang are both Jinshi. They have protected each other for many years and have been in collusion with each other to bully the people. Yuan Zheng reported the governor to the governor, but the county magistrate found out and burned him to death. Not only that, their whole family was killed. They have no place to appeal..."

Li Yi had never thought that Zhang Fang would be so careless about human life: "Come here, arrest Zhang Fang and execute him in public in front of the Nan County government office tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Several guards quickly stepped forward and tied up Zhang Fang.

Other yamen runners who gave false testimony should naturally be dismissed from their posts.

They were all stripped of their police uniforms and detained together.

Now they breathed a sigh of relief as they could no longer see the two phantoms.

After handling the case, Li Yi got into the carriage to rest.

I will not go back to the post station tonight. I will continue my journey after I have cleaned up the officialdom in Nan County and resettled the refugees.

But the trip to the southwest will definitely be delayed.

Thinking about how I rushed here from the post station, the journey was inexplicably shortened by half. I guess it was because Ning Luo used the shrinking technique.

Li Yi drank a cup of tea and told the guard, "Send the message to the doctor."

"Yes."

When Xie Zhan went to invite Ning Luo, she was just getting ready to go to bed.

"Doctor Luo, the Regent wants to see you."

"What's the matter?"

Xie Zhan didn't know, so he made up a story, "Maybe there are some government affairs to discuss."

How dedicated!

Ning Luo was impressed and got off the carriage yawning.

"Your Excellency the Regent, Doctor Luo is here!"

"Ask her to come up."

"Yes!" Xie Zhan brought the carriage stool and said respectfully, "Doctor Luo, please get on the carriage."

Ever since he knew she was a woman, he had respected her like a future princess.

Ning Luo stepped onto the riding stool, pushed open the carriage door, and saw Li Yi reviewing documents.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Waiting for you, please sit down."

Li Yi poured her some tea himself and said, "Thanks to your help today, things went much more smoothly."

"Just put it on my list of merits, Prince Regent."

"It will be so."

Li Yi then got to the point, "Can you shrink the earth?"

Ning Luo smiled: "I understand a little."

Li Yi was relieved. "Tomorrow I will go to the Nan County government office to punish officials, which will definitely delay my trip to the southwest. Can you go to the southwest disaster area first to investigate the real disaster situation?"

"Okay." Ning Luo agreed readily.

"That's okay, I'll go back first."

"Wait, you can rest here tonight."

Li Yi pointed at his bed.

His carriage was pulled by six horses, three meters wide and five meters deep, with a large bed inside, more than enough space for two people.
