Rebirth: Fu Jia Returns

Chapter 180
When Tao Nand's voice fell, the woman immediately spat at him, and said bitterly: "Tao Nand, Mr. Tao, don't you feel a pang of conscience when you say these words?"

The woman faced Fu Jia and kowtowed to report: "The special envoy, Mrs. Tao, kept saying that something happened to the project, but why did only my husband die? My husband has been working carefully and prudently. It’s because my husband saw them secretly transporting the salt out, and he was afraid that if my husband told the story, he would kill people to silence him!”

"You woman, you are so rude. Your husband's death can only mean bad luck. Others have been injured. This woman, I gave you money, but you still don't know what is good or bad!" Tao Nande stabilized Mind, rebuked the woman.

Fu Jia watched the two people come and go, so she raised her hand to stop them, and asked, "Other things are easy to talk about. I want to ask, what happened to secretly transporting the salt out?"

The woman opened her mouth to speak, but Tao Nand hurriedly said: "Miss Special Envoy, this woman is just trying to extort money by uttering lies. Miss, don't listen to her."

But the woman said: "Madam special envoy, Tao Nand secretly transported the salt from the officialdom, and then sold it at a high price to those traders. Half of the salt we eat in Jiangcheng is smuggled out by them, and the traders sell it at a high price." When we went out, we ordinary people could hardly afford salt. When my husband was repairing the embankment for the government, he left the key on the construction site during the day. When he went back to search, he encountered them transporting salt at night. Fearing that something would happen, my husband ran back home, but something happened the next day."

"Miss Special Envoy, if they hadn't murdered and silenced my husband, how could something happen to my husband? Besides, it didn't rain that day, and those who worked together said that logically, the stone steps had already been built over there, so it shouldn't have happened. It fell, who knows where my husband fell from, and Tao Nande's people were standing on the steps at that time."

"The little lady has nowhere to sue. Every night, she dreams that her husband is dead, so she begs the special envoy to investigate to the end and restore my husband's innocence!"

Fu Jia looked at the woman and asked, "Is there any evidence for what you said?"

The woman hurriedly wiped her tears and said: "Yes, this is the letter my husband wrote that night. He said that if someone harms him, he will publicize this matter."

Fu Jia nodded, and then signaled Qingsuo to bring up the letter.

When Tao Nand saw the woman took out the letter, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What's the situation, this woman has been imprisoned, how did she break free from the guards and run out?

Moreover, her home has been searched. Where did the letter come from? Is there any evidence?

Fu Jia read the letter carefully, and the content written on it was exactly what the woman said.

And, apart from what happened that night, there are several places recorded above.

Fu Jia handed the letter to Jiang Li.

Tao Nande's face turned even paler.

Li Yueshan was on the side, looking at the situation in front of him, his expression was a little bad for a moment.

"Miss Special Envoy, it's better to let our officials handle these trial matters. The girl has been exhausted all morning, so let's take a rest first."

Fu Jia raised her eyes, looked at Mount Li Yue, and said, "Master Li, I'm not tired, I'm fine."

Liyue Mountain...

"The girl, let's have some tea." Li Yueshan couldn't say any more, he said a few perfunctory words, and then gave Tao Nand a dark look.

Tao Nande met his gaze, and his heart was cold.

Fu Jia happily took the tea, and then said with a smile, "The tea is good. I suddenly feel a little tired. This matter involves illegal salt trafficking. Commander Jiang, we must investigate clearly."

After finishing speaking, Fu Jia looked at the woman again and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, if it's true, I will give you justice, if not, then don't blame us for punishing you for slandering court officials. "

The woman looked at Fu Jia with tears in her eyes, kowtowed quickly and said, "Little lady is telling the truth, please ask the special envoy to make decisions for the little lady."

Fu Jia got up, then looked at Jiang Li, blinked at him secretly, and said, "Commander Jiang, I will leave this matter to you, and please investigate thoroughly, so that such mistakes cannot be made when the empress worships the heroes. We can't afford to blame the empress later on."

Jiang Li hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, Mr. Special Envoy."

Fu Jia smiled, bowed and left.

Well, her mission is complete, and it's up to Jiang Li to do it next.

The same is true for Jiang Li, he hadn't told her earlier, when the woman rushed out just now, she was taken aback.

However, seeing the woman's haggard face and her heartbreaking words, I felt pity in my heart.

After Fu Jia left, Jiang Li glanced at the officials in Jiangcheng, then set his sights on Li Yueshan.

Li Yueshan's heart trembled, he straightened his expression, and said: "Master Jiang, please give me instructions."

Jiang Li nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Lock this woman up with County Magistrate Tao, and investigate thoroughly before coming out."

Li Yueshan hesitated immediately.

"Master Jiang, this is not good. After all, Master Tao is the magistrate of a county. If we leave him, we will not be able to do various tasks at that time."

Jiang Li looked at Mount Li Yue, and said, "If Lord Li is worried, just send another person to take over temporarily."

"But there are not many people around Xiaguan..."

Li Yueshan frowned tightly, seeming to be very embarrassed: "Besides, just relying on a woman's words to transfer the county magistrate back like this, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

After Li Yueshan's words fell, Jiang Li's face turned cold, and his whole body exuded a sense of intimidation that strangers should not get close to.

"Master Li is teaching the commander how to do things?"

Li Yueshan panicked and waved his hands quickly: "Master Jiang is joking, I dare not, I will send someone to make adjustments."

Jiang Li snorted coldly, didn't speak, just looked at Li Yue Mountain fixedly.

Li Yueshan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Put these two people under arrest.",

Only then did Jiang Li look away.

Li Yueshan secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Let's go!" Jiang Li ordered, and then walked out with long legs.

Li Yueshan hurriedly followed, Jiang Li suddenly turned his head and asked, "Lord Li, have you heard of this smuggling of salt?"

Li Yueshan hurriedly stopped, and said: "I don't know, Jiangcheng has always controlled the salt industry quite strictly."

Jiang Li said "Oh" without saying a word, got on his horse and went back to the other courtyard.

Tao Nand was dragged away by the guards, and before he left, he was holding on to Li Yueshan's clothes, crying out of breath: "My lord, you must save me..."

Li Yueshan frowned tightly and sighed inwardly.

Tao Nand was dragged away, and the woman followed the guards.

The other officials looked at each other and looked at Li Yueshan one after another.

"My lord, what's going on?"

Li Yueshan wants to scold his mother, what's going on?God knows what happened!

As for Jiang Li, he slowly returned to the other courtyard with the letter.

　This is all for your continued support!
