Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Gu Xiling was slightly startled when she heard Zhou Jin's words, then she smiled brightly and gently patted Zhou Jin's shoulder with the round fan in her hand, "Don't be afraid, my lord. I am such a virtuous person, how could I do such a rebellious thing?"

Xiulan quickly lowered her head and held back her laughter.

This time, she stood on the side of the prince, she felt that he was right!

Zhou Jin's eyes were sincere and his expression was quite serious. "My wife, you also know my temper. I know myself well. I get stubborn and perverted from time to time. I also have a bad personality. I am aloof and arrogant. I have a very vicious mouth and even say things without thinking."

"But I have tried my best to control myself, and I will work hard to correct myself, control my temper, stop talking nonsense outside, and strive to do some good things in a down-to-earth manner to benefit the people. As for women, don't worry, my lady, I have you, and I will never do anything stupid outside."

Gu Xiling was surprised and smiled. "No one is perfect. The prince can recognize his own shortcomings, which is better than many people. Since the prince treats me with sincerity, I will also treat him with sincerity. As long as the prince does not make mistakes with women, I can accept his shortcomings in other aspects."

Zhou Jin felt relieved when he heard Gu Xiling's words. "I believe you, my wife. The rest of our lives are long and vows are changeable. Just wait and see what I will do in the future."

"Okay!" Gu Xiling chuckled. She didn't expect that a storybook could give Zhou Jin such insights, which opened Gu Xiling's eyes.

At the same time, Lord Wu, the prefect of Jingzhao, received instructions from above and immediately conducted an investigation.

The investigation did find the misleading books, and the emperor immediately ordered the bookstores and books to be confiscated.

The shopkeeper was arrested, and the waiters hurriedly informed the master behind the scenes. Then many people passed on the message, wanting to pay to get him out.

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture directly informed that these bookstores were selling banned books. Once the investigation was completed, whoever wrote it would be given a lighter sentence.

When these shopkeepers arrived at the prison, they spoke out like beans from a bamboo tube, saying that the books were delivered to their doors by others.

Because the books were popular and could bring huge profits to the bookstores, the shop owners all accepted the on-the-spot payment.

The other party handed over the script, and the shopkeeper gave him the money on the spot.

This batch of new storybooks just arrived last night. Most of them were sold today, and then...then he was caught.

Lord Wu, the Jingzhao Yin, had no idea. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the shopkeepers.

"Think about it carefully. If you can't find out who wrote it and where it was printed, your case will not be closed. Even if you have a master behind you, I might as well tell you that this was banned by the order of the Queen Mother, and no one can intercede for it."

"Even if you don't know who the other party is or what his background is, you can be the shopkeeper in a place like Beijing where there are so many hidden talents. Which one of you is not a shrewd person? If the other party doesn't tell you, didn't you send someone to find out?"

"Even if you haven't found out anything specific, I believe that some of you must have found out something, but you just haven't thought about it carefully. Now tell us everything that may be evidence or suspicion, otherwise even if we don't chop off your brains, we will keep you in jail until you die."

He read both volumes of the storybook "Du Chunfeng".

Lord Wu was so angry that he tore out several of his beards. The skinny Lord Wu acted uprightly and had a very bad temper.

In the capital city where royal relatives, high-ranking officials and nobles are as numerous as dogs, no one’s face matters!

Be loyal to the court and Your Majesty.

Also, he was your Majesty's fellow student when you were a prince, and he made great efforts when your Majesty seized the throne.

He should have been in a higher position, not just a fifth-rank Jingzhao Yin, but this old man dared to do anything for anyone, did not give face to anyone, and spoke very directly.

Isn’t Uncle Li awesome?

A servant in the house took advantage of his power to bully others and beat someone to death.

Lord Wu led his men directly to Li's house to arrest the man. In front of Uncle Li, he took the criminal away and beheaded him at Caishikou.

That criminal slave is also Li Guojiu’s older brother!

Uncle Li did plead for mercy, and Lord Wu threw all the evidence in Uncle Li's face and said that he would release him if the emperor could agree.

The Empress and Emperor Kangping privately negotiated with Lord Wu, who then jumped up, picked up the inkstone and handed it to Emperor Kangping, asking him to smash his head with the inkstone.

Now that he is dead, Your Majesty can do whatever he wants. After all, the country belongs to the Qi family, not his Wu family. Besides, now that he is dead, he will no longer be bothered by it.

Since the senior brother has said so, what else can Emperor Kangping say?

Besides, my senior brother is also doing this for the country and the people.

The Queen Mother was also dumbfounded. She couldn't bear the infamy of forcing a loyal minister to death.

In short, the capital city is so peaceful. Even if there are some dandies who do evil things, they will never dare to go too far.

If they dare to do it on the first day, Lord Wu, the Jingzhao Yin, will do it on the fifteenth day and put them all in jail.

Once the evidence is conclusive, not only will the offender be flogged, but he will also be required to pay money to redeem himself.

Yes, you read that right, asking for money openly.

They also forced these wealthy families to say that the donations were voluntary.

Part of the money was turned over to the national treasury, and part was used to repair houses and streets, raise orphans, and support the elderly.

Anyway, the money didn't go into Lord Wu's pocket, so he felt justified.

Mr. Wu is truly a tough nut to crack!

Several shopkeepers knew the reputation of the Jingzhao prefect, and they recalled carefully and pieced together the facts, and finally they came up with the key evidence.

These papers are quite special, coming from the Jiangnan Lin's Trading Company, and so is the printing ink, proving that they were printed in the Lin's Bookstore.

Someone else followed and found that the carriage carrying the storybooks entered the warehouse of Jiangnan Lin's Trading Company on the outskirts of the city.

What are you waiting for?

Lord Wu took people directly to capture the people from Lin’s Trading Company.

The Lin family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Lin family business has a very large store in the capital and covers a wide range of business.

When Manager Lin learned that several major bookstores had been closed down and their managers had been arrested, he spent money to inquire and found out that it was because of the book "Du Chunfeng". He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he made a prompt decision.

"Miss, Yunshan is not you, but someone else." Manager Lin said in a deep voice. He would never allow the young lady to be caught.

At this time, a pretty girl in pink stretched her body, her eyes showing suspicion, "Boss, why do you say that? Is it my sister or my brother who took a fancy to the book I wrote this time?"

Manager Lin narrowed his eyes and looked serious. "Miss, no one likes the book you wrote, but your book was listed as a banned book. The bookkeepers of those bookshops were arrested and the bookshops were closed. The next step is to find out who Yunshan is and who printed it."

The lazy expression of the pretty girl disappeared in an instant, and her eyes were filled with astonishment. "How could this happen? Wasn't it fine before?"
