Cornus officinalis, oh cornus officinalis, for all these years, the only spicy food she has eaten is cornus officinalis, and she has never tasted chili peppers.

I miss the spicy taste!

I dream of tasting chili peppers.

I don't know where the Moon is.

...

After about half a month of investigation, Lantian was finally able to sleep well.

During this period, they arrested people and tortured them, and finally matched the names and amounts recorded in Luo Wenhao's account book.

No one involved in the case will escape.

"Uncle Lan, what about those innocent people? They won't be locked up too, right?" Mingyue remembered what her father said, about Luo Wenhao's wife, the poor woman who kowtowed to her father and begged him to show mercy.

"She...she," Lantian was stunned. Is she innocent?

In a sense, not innocent.

Lantian didn't know how to deal with Luo Wenhao's wife. He thought about it and thought that maybe those involved in the matter are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Justice is more clear in the eyes of children.

Then, he picked up Mingyue and walked towards the government office.

"Come on, uncle will show you Luo Wenhao's confession. You'll understand after reading it, and he can also give me some advice."

"Okay!" Mingyue was afraid that he would fall down, so she quietly grabbed his bun hanging on one side.

If you dare to throw me down, I will pull out all your hair!

Fortunately, everything was stable along the way. Of course, Lantian was also very tired and out of breath. He couldn't even straighten his back when he put Mingyue down.

Tsk tsk tsk, she looked up and down at the "not so good" Lantian, wondering if Aunt Lan would dislike him.

Lantian looked at her with eyes that said, "She's so young, this is impossible..."

"Ahem, well, your uncle has been working non-stop these past few days and is so tired. I accidentally twisted my waist while walking just now. If not, I could have held you for three days and three nights."

"Yes, yes, you are the best." Mingyue praised.

Lantian: You can praise me, but why don’t you put your heart into it at all?

Coming to his office, he took out Luo Wenhao's confession from the locked box on the bookshelf and spread it in front of Mingyue. "Hey, Mingyue, you can read, right?"

"Of course!"

The little man patted his chest proudly, and Lan Yuer's heart melted when she saw it.

She was afraid that her father would fall down along the way, and she was worried. Of course, she was not afraid that her father would be punished, but she was afraid that Mingyue would be hurt.

Now I can finally relax.

It's just a piece of cake for Mingyue to read a confession.

only…

A long time passed, but Mingyue's gaze remained fixed on the first line. "What kind of nonsense is this?"

Lantian almost fell down. "This is my most proud fast handwriting. When taking a confession, it has to be fast!"

"What if they can't understand it? My uncle certainly can't understand your flamboyant handwriting either."

"Then, what will be presented at that time will definitely be a newly transcribed version." Lantian said embarrassedly.

"Then you'll show me this unedited version?"

This is discriminatory treatment, right?

"I haven't had time to copy it yet. How about I read it to you?"

"Yes." Mingyue reluctantly crossed her arms over her chest, sat on the chair, and shook her legs.

Zhizhi Taotao saw that this was the young lady's behavior before "listening to the opera and eating melons", and she tactfully prepared the things that Mingyue usually used, such as flowers and fruits for making tea, freshly made desserts, freshly cut fruits, etc.

Mingyue took a bite of the apple that Lan Yuer fed her and squinted at the "ignorant" Lantian. "Read it, why aren't you reading it yet?"

"Oh, read it. I'll read it right away."

Following Lantian's ups and downs, reading without any emotion.

The story of Luo Wenhao's corruption unfolds like a scroll before the bright moon.

It turns out that Luo Wenhao was not always so frugal and calculative.

At that time, he had just become an official and was full of energy and ambition. His mind was full of thoughts about buying a bigger house for his parents and building roads for the villagers to improve the environment.

But why didn't he do that?

All this is because of his wife, a "good wife" praised by everyone.

Whenever he wanted to give money to his parents for living expenses or for any other purpose, his wife would jump out and cry and question him loudly.

"You treat your parents so well, but I'm your first wife. Do I deserve to have some money?"

Whenever he received his salary and wanted to buy his wife some nice things, she would look disgusted and say that the things he chose were not to her liking.

Occasionally, when he talked about other people's wives, his wife would get angry and say, "When I was in my teens, there were so many men who were better than you and richer than you who came to propose marriage. I was so blind to marry you..."

In the end, Luo Wenhao, who had been poor all his life, handed all his salary to his wife. With an empty wallet, he loved money even more.

He hid the embezzled silver and felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Faced with his wife's accusations and insults, his heart became stronger, and he gradually immersed himself in this strange and distorted emotion, unable to extricate himself.

This vicious cycle continued, and he greedily took more and more money.

That day, he hesitated whether to hire a doctor for his parents. It was because he really had no money. But if he took out the stolen money, how would he explain it?!

In this way, he lost his parents, but still couldn't get rid of his wife's control.

"I didn't expect that Luo Wenhao... is so miserable." Zhizhi said subconsciously.

"But those innocent people, which one of them is not miserable?" Taotao pushed her.

Zhizhi reacted and quickly explained that she was not an empath. "Yes, yes, I just said that the relationship between him and his wife is quite something."

Mingyue remained silent. She had met Luo Wenhao's wife from a distance before, and she really couldn't connect the woman described in the confession with her.

Then, Lantian took out another confession from the other party.

"Luo Wenhao's wife, Wang, probably didn't know about this. Here's her confession."

He still remembered the day when he told Wang that he had found a whole wall of gold bricks in their home. Her face was filled with shock, disbelief, and deep regret.

"I don't believe it! It's impossible! I control the finances of my family. I even know how many clothes he wears every day."

"Look, these are what we found in your house that day." Lantian pointed at the runners carrying baskets of food into the house. "Everyone in the city saw it with their own eyes. There's no need for me to lie to you."

The moment Wang saw those golden bricks, the greed in his eyes did not escape Lantian's eyes.

He also guessed that Wang was unaware of this.

Then, Wang seemed to think that the gold had been with her day and night without her noticing it at all!

Not even a single one has been used!

She worked hard to manage the entire household and take care of two children, but this beast Luo Wenhao embezzled so much money and didn't even give them any to spend!

Wang was filled with remorse and was so angry that she fainted.

There was no need for Lantian to try her again, and she was just kept in custody symbolically.
