After rebirth, I became the favorite of my scumbag brother

Things in Huazhou City came to an end soon. Su Lanxin and Bai Zhao were speeding on the way back to Beijing. The weather was getting warmer and the snow on the road had melted in some places.

After settling the victims, Chu Mo and others in Jiangzhou City began to deal with the prefect of Jiangzhou and the grain merchants.

Due to heavy snow and road closures, no news from Jiangzhou was sent back to the capital, not to mention Chu Mo's deliberate blockade.

However, the capital city, which has not received the exact news from Jiangzhou, is not calm.

When the emperor learned that the eldest prince Chu Mo was injured in Yunzhou, he immediately understood the key to this.

However, he was not sure which of his sons had done the good deed. The report from Yunzhou Prefect at that time said that explosives were used.

Explosives in the Canglan Kingdom were treasures that could only be used in war, and ordinary people had no access to them. The only person familiar with important matters in the army was the eldest prince Chu Mo.

But the most suspicious person was seriously injured and fell unconscious just outside Yunzhou City.

On the surface, the emperor asked for a thorough investigation, but in fact, he gave Dali Temple a secret edict and asked Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation.

However, Dali Temple was actually just a smoke he used to confuse interested people. It would be better if Dali Temple could find out, but he secretly sent his hidden guards to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Dali Temple first checked the records of the Ministry of War, but there were no mistakes in the records of the Ministry of War.

Then the people from Dali Temple looked towards the military camp...

And the emperor's hidden guards are also heading in the same direction...

Chu Mo and others are naturally aware of the actions of all parties in the capital. After all, this is the role of the second young master of the Shen family in the capital.

After Chu Mo received the news from the capital, he knew that he should speed up the matter in Jiangzhou.

Therefore, Chu Mo first interrogated the Jiangzhou magistrate and the grain merchants respectively. The Jiangzhou magistrate was originally unwilling to plead guilty, but the evidence was conclusive and he had no way to refute.

They also interrogated the grain merchants. The Xue family was originally the leader of the grain merchants. Those who had a tacit understanding all blamed the Jiangzhou prefect for the matter. Frankly speaking, it was the Jiangzhou prefect who took the lead and asked them to do this. The prefect Accounted for 40%.

The day after he separated several people for interrogation, Chu Mo publicly tried the Jiangzhou official grain case at the Zhengzhu government office.

When the people heard that the eldest prince was going to interrogate those Jiangzhou worms, they came to the government office one by one early in the morning, just to see the fate of these Jiangzhou worms.

Originally, Chu Mo had already interrogated him alone, but he followed the principle of letting a few people fight dogs to see if they could dig out more things, and at the same time, he also wanted to give an explanation to the people of Jiangzhou.

The yamen servants were all ready, and they were a little bit emotional when talking about it. The prefect who used to be in charge was now reduced to a prisoner, and they who used to work under the prefect to make a living were still the yamen servants of this yamen.

The wealthy businessmen who used to look askance at them are now also prisoners, and may even affect their parents, wives, children, and even their own clan.

The contrast before and after made everyone in the Jiangzhou government office feel a little embarrassed. This time, the Jiangzhou government office was undergoing a major change of blood. Everyone who participated in it or had committed some crimes were taken down by the eldest prince.

Nowadays, in addition to ordinary yamen servants, the people in Jiangzhou Prefecture's yamen are favored by people who were unwilling to join in the corruption before. Compared with the previous treatment of sitting on the bench, they are now considered to be high-spirited.

Soon, Lin Yuanzhuo, the prefect of Jiangzhou, was brought in. Mr. Lin, who was usually aloof and aloof, was now wearing prison clothes, his hands and feet were chained, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

However, no one felt pity for him at this time. Instead, many people were scolding him in a low voice.

Lin Yuanzhuo walked with dull eyes, as if he didn't hear the shouts and curses of the people outside, and came to the hall mechanically and numbly.

As the eldest prince's scream sounded, the killing sticks of the government officials on both sides also made a killing sound.

The noisy curses outside the hall disappeared, and the curses in Lin Yuanzhuo's ears also disappeared.

Lin Yuanzhuo raised his eyes to look at Chu Mo who was sitting on the throne, and knelt down mechanically: "The guilty minister Lin Yuanzhuo pays homage to His Highness!"

Chu Mo glanced at Lin Yuanzhuo and began to ask about the Jiangzhou official ration case. Lin Yuanzhuo confessed to his crime, but when it came to who led the reselling of official rations, Lin Yuanzhuo refused to admit it. , bluntly stated that the mastermind was Xue Huaizhong, the richest man in Jiangzhou.

Lin Yuanzhuo never mentioned this at all when he was in prison, but bringing it up now made Chu Mo raise his eyebrows in surprise.

When interrogating the grain merchants before, they said that they were joined by Lin Yuanzhuo. At this time, Lin Yuanzhuo said that the mastermind was Xue Huaizhong. This surprised Chu Mo and others, and at the same time they were also a little curious about who the Xue family, the richest man in Jiangzhou, was. He Nengnai was able to control the parents and officials of this state, so he asked someone to bring Xue Huaizhong up.

Xue Huaizhong was also in the same embarrassment as Lin Yuanzhuo, but compared to Lin Yuanzhuo, Xue Huaizhong, who was originally rich, lost a lot of weight.

When the people outside the hall saw Xue Huaizhong, they couldn't help but cursed again. Chu Mo paused for a few breaths before picking up the gavel.

"Xue Huaizhong, regarding the Jiangzhou official grain case, Lin Yuanzhuo identified you as the mastermind of the case. Do you agree with this?"

After Xue Huaizhong heard what he said, he immediately fell to the ground and cried loudly: "You are wronged! Your Highness, a mere businessman of the common people has no power and no power. How dare you do such a treasonous thing! What's more, it is official food!"

If you weren't being coerced, you wouldn't dare to reach out to the official rations even if you borrowed ten courage from the common people! The reason why the common people committed this treasonous act was because they were forced by Lin Yuanzhuo!

It was he who saw that the grassroots people had been running grain shops for generations, so he coerced the grassroots people to cooperate with him in reselling official grain. The grassroots people were being coerced! Please ask Your Highness to make decisions for the common people! "

Xue Huaizhong cried so deeply that the people outside the hall cursed Lin Yuanzhuo with indignation and said he was not human.

Lin Yuanzhuo, who was originally numb, was furious when he heard this, "Xue Huaizhong, you are just farting! It was obviously you who threatened me! At this time, you actually bite me back!"

Xue Huaizhong glanced at Lin Yuanzhuo and said with a shivering fear: "Your Highness, please make the decision! In front of His Highness, Lin Yuanzhuo dares to slander the common people like this. He is the biggest official in Jiangzhou.

Since ancient times, it has been said that the people will not fight against the officials. He has spoken out. Even if the common people want to resist, they do not have the courage. Your Highness, the common people are really unjust. Your Highness, you must make the decision for the common people... ..”

When Lin Yuanzhuo saw that Xue Huaizhong insisted that he was the one who had coerced him, he didn't care anymore, and he said it without waiting for Chu Mo to react.

"Xue, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! Your Highness, you are really the one who was coerced by Xue Huaizhong. Back then..."
