The Young Emperor and the Fearless

These are the results that He Li and the others speculated from Zhu Changyuan's words.There are secret deals between big families, and they can come and go freely in Donghe Town. They even threatened that they would not worry about being caught if things were revealed, and that someone would protect them.Only the mayor of this town can do this.

Also, Ju Xie reminded that Li Yuzhen slept too soundly the night Wu Xianming was framed.The cell was dark and cold, and Wu Xianming was hit by the wall so loudly, so she didn't feel it at all. Besides, she was easily awakened, and she never fell asleep in the cell, no matter during the day or at night.

In addition, the group of men in black seemed to be well-trained, and they would rather die than say a word.He Li lied that the man in black had recruited, because he wanted to set up a town order.

Sure enough, when the town order heard about it, his face turned livid, and he even looked down at the five men in black.And those people in black all raised their heads with surprise on their faces.It seems that He Li's speculation is almost the same.

He Li raised his voice and asked again: "Is that so?"

A man in black saw through Heli's plan, and hurriedly argued: "We have not confessed, what you said just now has no basis at all. Mr. Li, he is blowing up your words."

However, the town order was not relieved because of this, and his face turned even paler.

He Li said: "Lord Li? How do you know his surname is Li?"

The man in black seemed to have swallowed a mouthful of stones, and choked and remained silent.

He Li said again: "Few people in Donghe Town know his surname Li, and they all abandon their surnames and call him Sir. You are not from Donghe Town, let alone know his surname!"

He Li had exchanged names with Zhenling, He Li didn't want to reveal too much, he only said that he had the same surname as Yuan Zhimi, and Zhenling's full name was Li Tianyuan.

There was no sound in the courtroom, Zhenling sullenly walked to the side of Heli, but was blocked by Juxie.

Zhenling said: "Mr. Yuan, you said you are the younger brother of Prime Minister Yuan, but it seems that you have no official position and no right to intervene in the case of the government office. I was in awe of your relationship with Prime Minister Yuan before, and I allowed you to intervene, but it belongs to you." After all, this matter cannot be handed over to you for random judgment."

He Li stood up holding the desk, confronted the town order, and said, "Leaving aside the matter of identity, you know in your heart whether what I said is right or wrong. Li Tianyuan, the imperial court gave you the power to control a town, and you don't do it for me." The people are the masters, but they are in cahoots with the gangsters, allowing them to do things that are worse than beasts to innocent children. You collect money, cover up for personal gain, and you are worthy of the people of Li who trust you!"

Zhenling laughed and said, "Nonsense words are unbelievable. Since Mr. Yuan is up, please leave."

He Li said: "Why do you want to drive people away? Are you guilty?"

Zhen Ling said: "You have wronged the imperial court's order. I think it is for Prime Minister Yuan's sake that I don't have to argue with you. If..."

"No Ruo Ruo!" He Lifu sat down again, took out an account book from the desk, and threw it at the foot of the town order, "Look for yourself, what is it!"

Last night, Heli and his party were divided into three groups. Heli and Juxie stayed behind in the inn. Su Yu paid attention to the movement of the cell, and Shi Qi sneaked into the office of the government office to find evidence of the collusion between the town order and others. , not only found evidence, but also unexpected discoveries.

The account book records the money received by the town order from some merchants, including valuables, thick cloth and gold bars, etc., in varying amounts.

It was discovered by accident that Shi Qi quietly left the courtroom to bring someone over to confront him.

He Li didn't present the evidence in his hand at the beginning, because he wanted to give the Zhenling a chance to confess, but unfortunately, the Zhenling didn't give up until the Yellow River, refused to admit what he had done, and emphasized his identity. I want He Li not to meddle in his own business.

However, since the opening of the hall, Heli has fixed his eyes on Zhenling, and noticed details that he didn't usually pay attention to.

This order was well concealed, his words were airtight and flawless, but some of his small expressions betrayed him.Although Zhenling is extremely calm at this moment, there are thin beads of sweat on his forehead, he is very nervous, his eyes are rolling around from time to time, he is trying to solve the predicament in front of him, he is very disturbed.

In addition, the men in black kneeling in the hall were also very concerned about the town order. Apart from looking down at the ground, they peeked at the town order from the corner of their eyes, as if they cared about what the town order said.

Zhen Ling picked up the ledger from the ground without changing his expression, put it in his pocket without looking at it.He didn't want to justify this matter, but persistently pushed and forced them to leave.Zhenling said: "Mr. Yuan, Mr. Li is very polite to you. If you continue to make up nonsense, these government servants under my command will be difficult to deal with!"

As soon as the words fell, the yamen servant started to move closer to He Li with a water and fire stick, and the threat was obvious.

He Li was unmoved, and said loudly: "You are working in the government office, so you should be able to distinguish right from wrong. Although this Li Tianyuan is still your adult, once the charges are confirmed, he will not be. You have to think about it." It is clear, do you want to be a minion for the tiger, or cut the evil and eliminate the adulterer?"

The yamen servants all had a meal and became a little at a loss.

Zhen Ling snorted coldly: "You can be deceived by the rumors of outsiders!"

Each of them said a word, so that the yamen servant could not advance or retreat.

"Li Tianyuan, even if these yamen servants listen to you, do you think we can be threatened by you?" He Li said, "Don't forget, the five men in black in the hall are all top-notch, but they all fell on us." hands."

The town order's face was ashen, and the yamen servants next to him also gradually retreated.

He Li said again: "It is written in the account book that there are two families who pay tribute frequently and the largest amount. They are the Zhang family and the Chang family. Who are they?"

The town order clenched his lips, trying to make the last resistance: "Presumptuous, you are just a grassroots man who has gained power, how can you question me!"

At this time, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, and a person in official uniform came pacing.

The man said: "What about me, I wonder if I have the right to interrogate you?"

**

Zhou Fu, a regional envoy, often travels to and from various places on official business, and is familiar with officials from all over the place.He is a second-class local official and has the duty to supervise his official duties.

At the same time, this Zhou Fu will go to Beijing to report on his work after three months, and go to court with all the officials.Heli would sometimes stay with him and drink tea with each other in the hall, and Heli liked to listen to him tell folk stories.Therefore, he is familiar with He Li.

As soon as Zhou Fu entered the courtroom of the government office, his entourage closed the gate of the courtroom.

At the same time, Zhen Ling greeted him, and was about to greet him after saluting, Zhou Fu ignored him, and made a royal and minister's salute to He Li, and said: "My humble minister, Zhou Fu, see..."

However, before he could utter the word 'Emperor', He Li interrupted: "What's the point of doing such a great gift?"

Zhou Fu immediately understood what he meant - he was away from home and didn't want to reveal his identity.So, Zhou Fu stood up, showing embarrassment for the impulsive move just now.He asked his followers to open the gate of the court again, not wanting to hinder Heli's affairs.

But Zhen Ling didn't understand Zhou Fu's actions, and asked suspiciously: "Master Zhou, do you know this Mr. Yuan?"

Zhou Fu was stunned: "Young Master Yuan?"

Zhen Ling didn't let go of Zhou Fu's flash of surprise, and said strangely: "This young master said that he is the younger brother of Prime Minister Yuan, isn't it true?"

"No and no." Zhou Fu came to his senses, crossed the town order, and stood beside He Li.His position became clear all of a sudden, and he even said condescendingly, "Li Tianyuan, just now you have an answer to what you discussed in the courtroom, don't lie."

Zhou Fu's indifferent demeanor made Zhenling shudder, and he bowed his head guilty.

At this moment, Shi Qi brought a woman over, and this woman was the one who appeared with the servant and master that day.Last night, Seventeen accidentally found her walking around in the town order's living room, so he kept an eye out for it. He wanted to arrest her for questioning, but then she stayed in the town order's room until dawn.

Just now when Shi Qi found her again, she had just finished bathing and changing clothes, and explained that she wanted to bring her to the court, and she was very obedient.

The woman knelt down beside Zhen Ling, and before she could speak, the Zhen Ling moved half a step to the other side with a pale face.
