Zhong Yu was the only one left in the room. He looked at the confession in his hand and felt a little headache.

The Liu family reported to the government before that they didn't dare to take care of it because they couldn't afford to offend Mr. Li Bi. There was no reason why they should not be afraid now.

But just as he was about to deal with Li Shu, Liu's case was handed over to him. There must be someone's instruction in this, could it be His Majesty?

Zhong Yu was not sure, but it seemed that no one except His Majesty had the ability to get the governor of Jingzhao to uncover this case. No, it should be said that the previous His Majesty could not do it, but the current one can.

But why does Your Majesty keep an eye on Li Shu? Is there any deeper meaning in this that he doesn't know?

Zhong Yu thought about it and planned to ask Li Shu again.

As a result, before he set out, he saw Shaoqing leaving and returning, with another man behind him.

Zhong Yu: "..."

Shaoqing said to Zhong Yu: "This is the village leader Wang Zheng. He wants to sue Li Shu for land occupation."

Zhong Yu frowned and said, "Is this also a transferred case?"

Shaoqing shook his head: "I heard that Li Shu was arrested before I dared to file a complaint. The Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture sent him directly here without even seeing anyone."

Zhong Yu's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he said coldly: "They are more straightforward."

Shaoqing smiled helplessly and said nothing.

Zhong Yu frowned and opened the bamboo slip again, picked up his pen, and asked Wang Zheng to state his grievances.

Wang Zheng took out a piece of cloth from his arms, which was densely covered with words.

Shaoqing took it and handed it to Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu opened it and saw rows of names first.

Wang Zhengdao: "This is the list of people whose land has been invaded in our village. Li Shu has a village in our Lushui Village. Over the years, he has used various means to occupy the fertile farmland of the villagers, making the villagers miserable.

In fact, we have wanted to sue him for a long time, but even the governor of Jingzhao did not dare to control Li Shu. Even if we sued, it would probably not have a good result.

Of course we had quarrels, but Li Shu asked his servants to beat us up severely, and threatened us that anyone who dared to complain would be beaten to death!

After finally waiting until someone dared to take charge, we decided to file a lawsuit and ask the adults to make the decision for us! "

Zhong Yu nodded: "If what you say is true, I will naturally make the decision for you."

Wang Zheng said quickly: "It's true, it's true, we never lie!"

Zhong Yu nodded and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Wang Zheng said quickly: "The villain has finished speaking, ah! Wait! I remember that several beautiful girls in our village were snatched away by Li Shu, and they haven't returned home yet."

Zhong Yu paused while holding the pen, and then said: "Tell me in detail."

Wang Zhengdao: "There are only a few that I know about. The old Li Tou's family in the east of the village. The girl in his family was very beautiful. Later, she was accidentally attracted by Li Shu and was dragged away. There are also Wang Si's family. , the little girl was only thirteen years old...

These things have made people in our village so panicked that they don’t dare to let their girls show up. Moreover, even at home, the girls’ faces have to be smeared with pot ashes, for fear that they will be taken away accidentally... "

Zhong Yu thought of Ms. Liu who had just left, so she frowned and said, "Isn't anyone reporting to the official?"

Wang Zheng: "How is it possible that no one reported it to the official? The key is that no one dares to take care of it. Our official also told us to keep quiet, otherwise we will be stuck walking around.

He said that it was our girl’s blessing that Li Shu fell in love with our girl, and she went to enjoy the blessing. She is a popular drinker in the Li Mansion, so she went to be a noble lady..."

Zhong Yu frowned and asked, "What's the name of your official there?"

Wang Zheng: "Li Wei. He is said to be a distant relative of Li Shu. He was originally a famous landowner in our village, and later he got involved with Li Shu and became an official here. Who doesn't know that his official position is to buy money?" It’s coming…”

Zhong Yu: "Don't talk nonsense."

Wang Zheng: "We won't talk nonsense! Some of us have seen the car that Li Wei gave people gifts."

Zhong Yu asked: "Is there anything else?"

Wang Zheng shook his head and said: "No more."

Zhong Yu nodded and said, "I understand, let's take him down to rest."

Shaoqing nodded and left with Wang Zheng. Before leaving, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms and placed it on Zhong Yu's table with a complicated expression.

Zhong Yu was puzzled. When he opened it and took a look, his face suddenly became ugly.

He recognized the handwriting. It was Master Yu Wenwen's handwriting. The above lists in detail Li Shu's embezzlement of military pay and silver. It is extremely detailed, and even the amount of silver is clearly recorded.

After Zhong Yu read it, he let out a long sigh, thinking that Li Shu might be finished this time. He thought it was His Majesty's intention, but he didn't expect that it was Lord Yu Wenwen's intention. If it is His Majesty's will, Li Shu may still have a chance of survival.

But when Lord Yu Wenwen showed him the crime here, Li Shu was already certain to die. Lord Yu Wenwen made it clear that he wanted to kill Li Shu.

Each of these charges was enough to kill Li Shu, and they were different in nature from the previous petty fights.

Zhong Yu didn't expect Li Shu to be so courageous. As a Beijing official, under the eyes of the emperor, he would dare to embezzle even the military's pay and silver!

Zhong Yu knew that Li Shu's identity was not enough for this matter, but Zhong Yu knew that this matter could only end with Li Shu.

So Master Yu Wenwen sent this copy of Li Shu's accusation, which clearly recorded how much money Li Shu had embezzled, but said nothing about others.

Is it because Lord Yu Wenwen can't find anyone else? No, it's just that no one else can touch him except Li Shu.

Zhong Yu took all the confessions and went to the prison again and took Li Shu out.

Day and night passed, and no one knew what happened in the prison.

But early on the third day, Zhong Yutian entered the palace before dawn.

This move shocked everyone who was staring at the prison. As a second-rank minister, Ting Weiqing would not disregard etiquette so easily. Something big must have happened to make him do such a thing.

Did Li Shu say something that shouldn't be said?

There are many people who think the same way. The money Li Shu embezzled was not spent by him, but more or less all of it went elsewhere.

Especially Li Bi, he gritted his teeth and comforted himself: "It's impossible. Li Shu doesn't dare to talk nonsense. If he dares to talk nonsense, no one will save him. He shouldn't be stupid..."

Others didn't know about Li Shu's embezzlement of military pay, but he knew it very well, because a large part of it came into his hands.

Even this matter was actually carried out with Li Bi's acquiescence. A discerning person would know what was going on at a glance. After further investigation, he could not escape the relationship at all!

If he had accomplished something great, this matter would be nothing at all. But now that he has not accomplished anything, he can't let this matter come to light!
