To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

The owner of Yutongpu looked anxious.

They just wanted some money to support their families and never thought of suing the marquis to the government, let alone taking his life.

"No, no! Someone must have deliberately framed the prince. We are the ones in charge of the store. Without our orders, they would not go to the government to cause trouble. Besides, this is just a small matter..."

Someone reacted: "The people in front of the Censorate are victims, so who are we? Someone must have framed the prince!"

The shopkeeper of the Western Language Pavilion couldn't help but feel a little angry. They just wanted to report to the Marquis, but someone interfered.

"Miss, we are willing to testify!"

"..."

Zhongqin was cold and grabbed a man who was beaten black and blue, threw him to the ground, knelt down and clasped his fists, and said, "Miss, I have captured Manager Wang."

Steward Wang knelt on the ground, crawled into the front hall, kowtowed and cried, "Miss, I was wrong. I was bewitched for a moment."

Jiusu held Manager Wang's death contract in his hand.

"If you can tell the truth in court, I can promise to spare your life."

Steward Wang responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

Yi Hui came from the main courtyard. She spoke in a gentle tone and bowed to everyone. However, the shopkeepers were frightened to death and quickly knelt down to return the greeting. She said, "I heard about it. This matter was caused by my poor supervision. When the Marquis is safe, I will definitely compensate everyone for their losses."

The shopkeeper of Yutongpu looked at Manager Wang angrily.

"Madam, this is not your or the Marquis' fault. It was us who believed in the villain and caused the Marquis to be imprisoned! Don't worry, we will definitely rescue the prince."

Yi Hui nodded: "Thank you all for your righteous words."

She held Jiusu's hand worriedly.

"Yuyu, be careful."

Jiusu wiped away the wet raindrops on the back of her hand and said, "I will definitely bring my father back, and those who hurt him will be punished."

In fact, this case.

She didn't dare to think too deeply.

The emperor acquiesced to Prince Chang's behavior. Was he intending to make Prince Chang the crown prince, or was he trying to take this opportunity to punish his father and warn his ministers? Even if this was true, the emperor could not sacrifice his father to satisfy his own prestige.

"..."

The entrance to the Censorate was packed with people.

Jiusu brought them here. The scene was chaotic. She looked coldly at those who shouted "give us justice". The crowd automatically made way for her. She looked at the guards of the Censorate who were holding swords and looked alert.

"My name is Jiusu, and I am suing Prince Chang for framing my father."

The guards did not dare to delay and invited the Left Censor-in-Chief to come out.

Jie Qi saw that Jiusu felt a little guilty. After all, the man's father was beaten so badly on his territory. He took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes." Jiusu's eyes were firm. She turned and pointed at those people, "They were all hired by King Chang to frame my father."

Someone wants to run.

Zhongqin and Mingheng were facing east and west, with the shopkeeper blocking their way to the south and the Censorate to the north. Turning around would mean they were walking into a trap, and they all knelt on the ground.

"My lord, they want to kill people to silence them."

"We are all the ones who have been harmed by the Marquis."

"..."

The shopkeeper of Yutong Shop cursed, "You are talking nonsense. We are from Lifu Shop, and you are the imposters. Your Excellency, arrest them and we will know the truth after questioning them."

As a well-known shopkeeper, how could the people not know him?

Many of the people who were hired to frame the Marquis backed off because they were blinded by greed, but now they are afraid when they think about it.

The guards haven't started catching them yet.

Some people could not bear the pressure and inner fear and confessed voluntarily.

"I, I was hired. They said they would pay us one tael of silver a day to frame the Marquis..."

Jiusu gritted her teeth and said, "You know, this move can kill people."

The man raised his head cautiously, met her cold eyes, and shrank into a ball in fear, his voice as soft as a mosquito: "He, he is the Marquis, who dares to kill him... We, we don't think anything will happen."

The gate of the Censorate opened.

Li Ningwan walked over slowly, without covering his wounds, but simply bandaged and stopped the bleeding. He said, "Thanks to you all, I am not dead yet, but I will not let anyone who wants to harm me off easily!"

The owner of Yutongpu breathed rapidly and knelt down in front of the steps.

"My Lord, it's all our fault. We have caused you to end up like this..."

Li Ningwan waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "This is not your fault. I trusted you too much and neglected you. This is a lesson for me. This kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

The hired person was brought back to the Censorate.

After interrogation, they gave out the name of Manager Wang.

This case was tried by the three courts. Jie Kai sat in the main seat, Jiang Jing and Song Wang sat on both sides. He bowed to the Marquis and nodded politely. Looking at so many people in the hall, he felt like an invisible mountain was pressing on his back.

This is a big case.

"Mr. Wang, tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

Mr. Wang only had the eldest lady's words in his mind, that he would spare his life. He stopped struggling and shed tears of regret: "I was instructed by the Right Censor-in-Chief. He promised me that as long as the matter was done, he would report to the prince and let me be the Right Censor-in-Chief."

Kuai Wenshi broke out in sweat on his back.

Secretly cursing this person for being useless.

"Sir, he wants to throw dirty water on me, please be careful!"

Jiusu suddenly realized, "Oh~ So Lord Kuai wants to be the Left Censor-in-Chief."

Kuai Wenshi shook his head nervously: "No, I didn't..."

However, Xie Qian no longer believed him. He did not even glance at Kuai Wenshi, but asked, "Mr. Wang, what evidence do you have?"

Mr. Wang trembled as he took out a deed to the courtyard. "This is the benefit he promised to the criminal. If you check, you will find out that this courtyard was originally bought by Mr. Kuai. Then, check where he lives now, and you will understand everything."

Jie Kai gave the guard a look.

Soon, the guards found out the truth: "My Lord, this deed was indeed Lord Kuai's, but a few days ago, Lord Kuai got a good courtyard, and that courtyard is an asset under the name of Prince Chang."

The witnesses and evidence were all there. Kuai Wenshi looked pale and was trembling all over, but no matter how Jie Kai asked him, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Jie Kai pulled out the wooden sign and threw it on the ground.

"Torture!"

His fingers were pinched so hard that they were broken. After just one stick of incense, he gave in.

"I admit it, I admit it!"

In the past, he always tortured others, but today he experienced the same thing.

Kuai Wenshi panted heavily, not daring to look directly at the people sitting in the court: "Prince Chang promised me that after the Marquis died, he would let me be promoted to Zuodu Yushi. You know, the difference between left and right is just one word, but there is a big difference. For the sake of my future, I can only fight for it."

People from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have gone to Prince Chang's Mansion to arrest Xu Cairong.

Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, Prince Chang already understood that the truth had been revealed. He pretended to be calm and said, "Master Jie, what do you want from me? You know, I am very busy. If you delay me from finding a beauty for my father, do you know what crime you will commit?"
