Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

Tang Mo had this idea first, and then Luo Qiwen supplemented it. It not only took into account the emperor's thoughts, but also allowed the second prince and the various families in the court to take a step forward. In terms of righteousness, it was also for the welfare of the people and reduced the number of people who were in office but doing nothing.

"This will benefit the people, and the emperor will surely be pleased to see it succeed. It will also help the court officials to guide the younger generation, and I believe you will be grateful."

The Second Prince laughed, stood up, walked to Tang Mo and patted his arm, "Your Highness was right about you. It is a blessing for the old Marquis to have a son like you in the Marquisate."

"It is my honor to be able to share your worries."

At this moment, the Second Prince was extremely satisfied with Tang Mo. "You don't need to worry about the affairs of the court. Just do your job well."

"I obey my orders."

After leaving the Second Prince's Mansion, Tang Mo took a deep breath and quickly went to Luo Qiwen's residence. Luo Qiwen was very excited that the person he was loyal to had great ambitions. He spared no effort to give Tang Mo advice and suggestions, hoping that Tang Mo could stand in a more important position beside the Second Prince.

"Tang County Magistrate, I went to the Weiyuan Marquis's residence. The Marquis did not approve of the self-defense statement you wrote. Would you like to write another one?"

Zhou Zheng was in a good mood, especially when facing Tang Rong, he was more inclined to watch the fun.

Tang Rong raised his head suddenly, "May I ask what you don't agree with?"

Zhou Zheng relayed Tang Gang's words to him and said, "Several of your subordinates have also stated that they have no relationship with Weiyuan Marquis. What else does County Magistrate Tang have to say?"

Tang Rong's face was as gloomy as water, why?

Why did the old man do this? He could save himself if he just admitted it. It was just a crime of not knowing the person well. If he just knelt down and cried before the emperor and admitted his mistake, the matter would be over. It was so simple but he was unwilling to do it. But he was really a good father to him.

"I want to see him?"

"Who?"

Zhou Zheng smiled, "You want to see Marquis Weiyuan?"

"I'm afraid I can't."

Tang Rong sneered, "We are father and son, but now he doesn't even want to see me?"

Zhou Zhenghao told him with a clear conscience, "The emperor has issued an order that the Marquis may not attend court or go out until this matter is settled. He must reflect on himself in the palace, so he cannot come here."

Tang Rong's heart skipped a beat. "You said my father was punished by the emperor to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors?"

"When did it start?"

Zhou Zhengdao: "After visiting the county magistrate."

With regret rising up in his heart and panic in his heart, he stared at Zhou Zheng in disbelief, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, sir?"

If he had known earlier, he would not have said those words, written that confession, and would not have ended up making things worse.

No one knows his cold-hearted father better than him. He is magnanimous and generous in public, but he will not tolerate anyone who disobeys him at home. Even if he does not say it, he will bear a grudge in his heart. When he finds out that he has bitten him, it is clear what decision he will make...

Feeling remorseful, he wanted to ask Zhou Zheng to tell his father that everything that happened before was nonsense. But when the words came to his lips, he felt they were too ridiculous and was extremely conflicted.

Zhou Zheng thought it was very interesting. "I would not have mentioned this matter if the county magistrate hadn't asked me. I have to consider the reputation of the first and second marquises."

"Now, can the county magistrate tell me what happened here again?"

Tang Rong was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again he went back to his original words: he knew nothing.

The capital city has been very bustling recently. As the weather gets colder, the festive atmosphere of the New Year has gradually begun to take hold. Merchants who want to seize the opportunity have brought in a lot of goods, adding to the bustle of the capital city.

On the day when the third store of Wanyuanxing opened, a refugee from Songyang County knelt in front of the government office to appeal for justice and sue Tang Rong for murder. This refugee claimed to be a merchant in Songyang County and had to bribe Tang Rong. Later, Tang Rong fell in love with his daughter, and finally his daughter disappeared. After he made a scene at the government office, he was severely beaten and almost had an accident several times.

Zhou Zheng met the victim in person. The victim's words were very convincing, but Tang Rong insisted that he had never seen this person at all. However, this person presented two booklets, saying that he had collected them secretly, and every detail was described extremely clearly.

Tang Rong had met many merchants before, but he couldn't remember what they looked like at all. This person insisted that he had met him before, and he could even tell where he met him and who was present. Tang Rong was confused and was not sure whether he had met this person before.

The government has plenty of strength and means to try cases, and they can torture a person even without using punishment. However, after two days, Tang Rong was exhausted both physically and mentally, and his expression was dazed. It seemed that only the last step was left, and Zhou Zheng ordered a strict interrogation of Qing Mo.

Qing Mo, as Tang Rong's personal servant, knew everything about Tang Rong. He had refused to confess before, but after he found a note in a black steamed bun, he became suspicious. Now he was put on the rack and wanted to confess after only ten lashes. However, the jailer did not give him a chance to speak and just beat him until he screamed. The sound echoed in the cell and was clearly heard by Tang Rong, constantly attacking his already shaky defense line.

When the time was right, Qing Mo finally had the chance to speak out. When he was dragged back to the cell, he deliberately passed by Tang Rong's cell slowly, so that he could see it clearly...

Tang Rong confessed, but he was not as persistent as Zhou Zheng expected. Soon a new confession was written. Zhou Zheng sorted out all the evidence and presented it to the emperor, waiting for the emperor's judgment.

"My Lord, Madam asks you to go back to the front yard. She has something important to discuss with you."

At noon that day, Tang Gang was writing. He wrote the word "静" three times, but he still looked impatient. He didn't even raise his eyes when he heard Ping Qiu's words. "What's the matter?"

"Madam said that she needs to tell the Marquis in person."

Tang Gang put down his pen and left the study. Chun Lang was crying in the front yard. Tang Gang frowned. After entering the house, he said to Wang: "Why is this child so fond of crying?"

Wang was also very annoyed, "The court doctor checked and found nothing wrong. Maybe he has sensed it. He should cry about his fate."

Tang Gang didn't dwell on it. "What's the matter?"

Wang pushed a box in front of Tang Gang and said, "Tao died in disgrace. I think the eldest brother doesn't want to live in the house she lived in any longer. I asked someone to clean it up and found this box in the corner of the cabinet. You can take a look at the contents yourself, my lord."

Tang Rong's ten thousand taels and the letter came in handy at this moment. Tang Gang was not willing to touch Tao Yiran's things, but since Wang had asked him to do so, he had no choice but to open the lid. A stack of silver bills came into view, which made Tang Gang want to peek at the letter.

"Is this a letter from the eldest brother?"

Tang Gang took the letter but was not in a hurry to read the contents. Wang Shi did not look happy. "I read the letter and the banknote first. The banknote is 10,000 taels. The Marquis wants to see the things mentioned in the letter in person."

The words on the envelope were written by Tang Rong. Tang Gang would not be wrong about this. When he saw the contents clearly, his eyes became colder and colder. The letter paper also trembled with his mood. After a moment, he looked at Wang with suspicion, "Are you sure this was written by the boss?"
