Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

The Yuan father and son did not escape. Not only were they quickly arrested, but all the account books and accountant in the house were also arrested.

With evidence in hand, the Dali Temple conducted separate interrogations and the three sides were convicted of fraud.

In front of Liu Mingxuan, he said that the Prince of Chu pointed out that all the work was done by Liu Mingxuan.

He told the Prince of Chu that Liu Mingxuan had confessed everything and that it was all the Prince of Chu's instructions.

It was even easier in front of the Yuan father and son.

"Liu Mingxuan said that all the reselling was instigated and carried out by you and your son. He allowed you to do it in order to marry your daughter."

The Yuan family father and son were stunned by "Liu Mingxuan's shamelessness".

The three parties are biting each other in order to protect themselves.

As more and more evidence accumulated, the case went relatively smoothly.

The old King of Chu had been locked up in the palace for many days, and he lost a lot of weight from drinking so much tea.

"I want to see Emperor Chen!" The old King of Chu couldn't drink his tea anymore.

Emperor Chen did not come, but the Dali Temple Minister came and said to the old King of Chu: "The Crown Prince has confessed, and now Emperor Chen is in great trouble."

Only then did the old King of Chu understand why he was invited to drink tea.

It turned out that they were afraid that he would cause trouble.

Now, he has been in a bad mood for many days and has drunk a lot of tea.

After all, he has experienced hard times. He is Zhou Shaoyu's great-uncle and is over 60 years old this year. As he is old, he cares more about the lives of his descendants.

He asked to see Zhou Shaoyu in tears.

The Dali Temple looked at the old prince with mixed feelings and said, "Prince, if you go to Emperor Chen to plead for mercy, that's fine. But the amount he embezzled is really too large. If you go to His Majesty, you will be embarrassing His Majesty."

The old King of Chu asked, "How much did the prince embezzle?"

The Dali Temple showed him the account books and evidence, as well as Liu Mingxuan's confession.

The old prince was shaking all over as he watched.

When he saw that "Crown Prince Zhou Yulang of Chu sold inferior goods as good ones and harmed soldiers at the border, totaling more than 3.6 million taels of silver", the old King of Chu fainted.

The Dali Temple Minister helplessly called the imperial physician and said to the Dali Temple Secretary: "Look, I said that the prince was too corrupt and made the old prince angry to death."

The old King of Chu woke up and did not go to see Zhou Shaoyu. He asked to take the prince back and deal with him according to family rules.

The Dali Temple official said, "Your Majesty, I want to tell you that this is a case that His Majesty is personally supervising. The editor of the Yulong Newspaper has sent someone to follow up on this case. Now—"

He pointed to the young man writing furiously next to him and said, "He is the main writer following up on this case. He will publish every detail of the case in the newspaper."

The old King of Chu knew that he could no longer save the Crown Prince.

Not only can it not be saved, I'm afraid the entire Chu Palace will be destroyed.

She cried and said, "I will let the prince commit suicide and donate all my property to the Military Equipment Bureau for the research and development of new weapons."

Everyone knows the Military Equipment Inspectorate; that is the territory of Emperor An, Xie Zhaozhao.

The Dali Temple Minister said: "This matter is supervised by Emperor Chen and has nothing to do with Emperor An."

This is the instruction from Emperor Chen. No one is allowed to harass Xie Zhaozhao.

The entire second page of the Yulong Daily was devoted to the first corruption case since the founding of the People's Republic of China, "Princes are guilty of the same crime as common people - the whole story of the corruption case of the Crown Prince of Chu"

When the article was published, it shocked the government and the public.

Xie Yu wrote the article personally, without any personal comments, and only stated the facts.

The Prince of Chu is hateful, but even more hateful is Liu Mingxuan, the eldest son of Liu Shilang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Eighty percent of the stolen money was pocketed by this man.

As soon as the newspapers of that day were put on the shelves, they were immediately sold out.

"Buy a newspaper. Do you have today's newspaper?"

"Print some more, we want to read the newspaper!"

Since newspapers were not available at newsstands or shops, people crowded in front of the newspaper office and protested loudly.

"More newspapers should be left for Kyoto residents, as we can't buy any."

Many people even buy it from others at high prices.

The Chu royal family fell, and the Liu clan was destroyed.

My God, these big families have so many enemies. Who wouldn’t want to buy a few copies and set off firecrackers to celebrate?

Many people even bought newspapers and burned them on graves for their deceased relatives.

There are many radical elements at the moment, and a large number of people are flocking to the street outside the palace to express their gratitude.

In the court today, the censor impeached the King of Qi for the first time.

"I want to impeach the King of Qi."

Zhou Shaoyu: “?”

Xie Zhaozhao: “?”

"I impeach the King of Qi. Since its founding, the Yulong Newspaper has become an indispensable spiritual food for the people. However, the newspaper office did not print enough copies, resulting in the newspaper being snatched up by scalpers as soon as it was released.

The original price was two cents, but scalpers sold it for twenty cents.

What’s worse, there was a stampede when people were scrambling to buy newspapers, and the servants who couldn’t buy newspapers cried loudly in the street…”

Xie Yu sincerely admitted his mistake and said that he would immediately find a way to increase the printing volume and add more sales points when he returned.

All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. The popularity of the newspaper and the direction of public opinion were far beyond their expectations.

Zhou Shaoyu was also very shocked. Newspapers gradually became popular among people and became an indispensable need in life.

Moreover, the newspaper was sponsored by the imperial court. It was the court's mouth and face, and it was the bond and bridge between the court and the people.

For the first time, I had a deep understanding of the great role of newspapers in guiding public opinion in a positive way.

He said to Xie Yu: "To increase the number of staff in the newspaper office, the Ministry of Revenue should give priority to guaranteeing the newspaper office's expenses. Prince Qi, I think a seven-day issue is not enough, how about changing it to a five-day issue?"

Xie Yu replied: "I obey your order."

After the court meeting, Xie Yu hurried back to the newspaper office. The workers worked overtime day and night and printed another 50,000 copies, which were still sold out.

This was the largest corruption case since the establishment of Yulong State, and the punishment was extremely severe.

The Prince of Chu was sentenced to death by hanging!

The King of Chu was stripped of his title and demoted to the Prince of Chu County, and his reign ended there.

The Chu Palace donated all its property to atone its sins.

Minister Liu was beheaded, immediately!

Liu Mingxuan was beheaded, executed immediately!

The Liu family's property was confiscated, and males over the age of fifteen were exiled to Yazhou, and the rest were sold.

The Yuan family, a merchant family in Jingxi Prefecture, resold grain to foreign hostile forces. This was an unforgivable crime, and Yuan and his son were executed immediately.

The Yuan family had all their property confiscated.

……

The people are going crazy!

Your Majesty is so wise!

Damn corrupt officials, three million six hundred thousand taels, if converted into silver, it would fill several rooms, right? How could you not be so stuffed to death!

The soldiers on the frontier were extremely grateful to the court, and their diet improved immediately. The silver taels seized by the two governments were given to the frontier soldiers one by one, with each soldier receiving ten taels as compensation.

Letters of thanks from people all over the country flew into the newspaper mailbox like snowflakes.

There were also many students’ comments on current affairs and their confidence in the future of Yulong Country, which was very moving.

Based on everyone's letters, Xie Yu selected some representative ones and published them in the next issue of "Yulong Newspaper".

We also pay royalties according to the standards of submission.

When this issue of the newspaper was published, the Prince of Chu, Minister Liu, and Liu Mingxuan had all been executed. Hanging meant that the body would remain intact, while beheading meant that the head and body were separated.

The day after Zhang Yanyan's divorce, Xie Zhaozhao gave Zhang Yanyan a mansion and allowed her to set up a female household.

Except for Minister Liu and Liu Mingxuan who were killed, the male members of the Liu family were exiled, and the rest were sent to the government to be sold.

Zhang Yanyan went to Liu's house.

Also coming with them was Liu Yiyi, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo. The two of them stood at the gate of the Liu residence and watched as the male members of the Liu residence were shackled and exiled, while the female members and young male members were sold off.

Zhang Yanyan was not a mean person. Looking at the once aggressive Madam Liu, who was now downtrodden and haggard, she was too lazy to say anything sarcastic and asked, "Where are Yun'er and Fu'er?"

Yun'er, Andy Lau, Prince Ning.

Fu'er, Liu Yingfu, the youngest daughter of Zhang Yanyan.

Madam Liu gritted her teeth: "I don't know."

"Where is their Mammy?"

Mrs. Liu said nothing.

"Jiao, I want to ask you, where is the wet nurse?"

Madam Liu hated her and kept silent. Chenxiang slapped her several times: "The princess is asking you a question!"

Mrs. Liu no longer had anything to do with Zhang Yanyan. After a few slaps, she had no choice but to say, "Yuan knows."

Then beat Yuan. Zhang Yanyan didn't want to say anything more to her.

Yuan said frantically, "Dead, all dead, all dead."

Zhang Yanyan was shocked. Yun'er and Fu'er were dead?

Order the guards to beat everyone present to death until they tell the truth.

Beat her to death and pay the money.

"You are criminal slaves, you deserve to be beaten to death. Tell me, I may give you a good future."

Immediately, a maid serving Yuan said that Yuan had originally wanted to beat Liu Qingyun and Liu Yingfu to death, but the two maids didn't know where they had hidden the two children, so Yuan beat the two maids to death.

Zhang Yanyan was so angry that she pointed at Madam Liu and said, "After all, the child is your flesh and blood. You didn't let me take him away, but insisted on keeping him, and didn't treat him well. You deserve to die!"

She and Chenxiang went into the mansion to look for them, and just then people from the Imperial City Bureau came out and said that they had found two children in the cellar when they searched the house.

Zhang Yanyan took a look and saw that they were her two children.

Fortunately, the two children were in the cellar, and the wet nurse had put a lot of food in there. Although they were a little frightened, they did not starve to death because of the food left by the wet nurse.

The child was small but very sensible. He didn't cry or shout, and escaped the disaster in the cellar.

Zhang Yanyan burst into tears, hugging her two children, feeling sad and relieved.

"You are all brave and smart children. You will be blessed in the future if you survive a disaster."

Andy Lau was only four years old, but he managed to comfort and coax his two-year-old sister for so many days and escape the clutches of the Yuan family.

Liu Qingyun's face turned pale, and he started crying when he saw Zhang Yanyan: "Mom, I'm so scared..."

Liu Yingfu also burst into tears.

Zhang Yanyan couldn't help but listen to the children talking about their suffering. She pointed at the little girl who told the story and said, "Tell me who was involved in beating the wet nurse to death?"

The little girl pointed out two old women and three servants.

The three servants all cursed her, but the little girl told the whole story in order to save her life.

Zhang Yanyan gave all the money from selling Yuan, the two old women, the three servants, and the little girl to the official.

Guan Ya gave their indentures to Zhang Yanyan.

Zhang Yanyan handed the little girl's indenture to her and said, "Take the indenture and go."

The little girl was so excited that she held her indenture and cried loudly. She had never thought that one day she would be free again.

Zhang Yanyan pointed at the others and said to the guards, "Take them all away."

After leaving Guan Ya's sight, Zhang Yanyan said, "Let's find a place, beat them all to death, and throw them into a mass grave."

As for Madam Liu, she would not buy her or beat her to death. She would just ask them to go to other people's homes to be slaves and humiliate them to vent her anger.

As a lady from a noble family, she only shows kindness to the right people. How could she be merciful to such a villain?

The punishment of the largest corruption case in the founding of the People's Republic of China by the Yulong Newspaper severely deterred corrupt officials.

Use severe punishments to combat corruption.

Is the King of Chu strong behind the scenes?

Is your neck as thick as Minister Liu’s?

If the answer is "no", then just be an honest person.

It was already the Mid-Autumn Festival when Yulong’s first corruption case was punished.

Two years after the ocean-going fleet expedition team returned, Zhou Lingyin, Yunyang and Yunhe asked to see Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao: "Announce!"

The three of them hurried into Xie Zhaozhao's study. The first thing they said when they came in was not to talk about what they had seen and heard while traveling around the world, but to hurriedly say, "Your Majesty, there was a civil strife in the Kingdom of Pyu. The Imperial Master led the monks in a rebellion and joined forces with the Kingdom of Dongli to massacre the royal family of the Kingdom of Pyu."
