So he didn't know what stage the case had reached so far.
However, this fake Taoist priest is very likely related to Chen Fang, so he should be investigated.
So he immediately sent someone to the county government office to bring the fake Taoist priest to the Ministry of Justice and ask about the progress of the investigation into the case.
The fake Taoist priest was brought over soon.
Also arriving was the prosecutor from the county government who was in charge of investigating the case.
As soon as he arrived, he briefly explained the progress of the case.
It turned out that after Xie Xiu sent the person to the yamen, he was responsible for investigating the case. While interrogating the fake Taoist priest, he started an investigation using the fake Taoist priest's certificate of ordination as a clue.
The certificate looked identical to the real thing, so he sent people to investigate the Xuanyuan Temple recorded on the certificate.
However, Xuanyuan Temple was quite far from the capital, and the people he had sent had not yet returned. The fake Taoist priest had also developed a high fever due to his injuries and was unable to continue the interrogation.
Although the doctor gave him medicine and his fever subsided, he seemed to be extremely frightened. Not only was he very weak, he was also always startled and could not get any useful information from him.
There was no progress in this case for the time being.
Minister Zhou was a little troubled when he saw the fake Taoist priest lying on the door panel and being carried in.
How should the case be tried when this person is so ill?
Unexpectedly, the fake Taoist priest screamed "Ah", suddenly turned over and stood up, shouting: "Since you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust!
"Sir, it was Liu Yazi who made me do this! He is Madam Xie's man, and he often asked me to disguise myself as a Taoist priest and go to the homes of ordinary people to defraud them of gold, silver, women and children!"
Minister Zhou immediately inquired about Liu Yazi's identity and address and sent people to arrest him.
Unfortunately, when they arrived at Liu Yazi's residence, Liu Yazi had already become a corpse. It seemed that he had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
The yamen runners who went to arrest the criminal had to split into two groups, leaving one group to guard the body and the scene, while the rest rushed back to the Ministry of Justice to report.
When Minister Zhou heard that Liu Yazi was dead, his face suddenly became very ugly.
He immediately arranged for the prosecutor and the coroner to go to the scene to investigate, and then looked at Xie Xiu and others.
Liu Yazi and the fake Taoist priest were related to the human trafficking case and had little to do with Xie Xiu and others, so Shangshu Zhou decided to end the trial and send Xie Xiu and others back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he announced this decision, Luo Hongwang jumped out again, kneeling down and bowing to him: "I beg the great judge to rule that Xie Xiu and Xie You sever their ties with Xie Yun and allow them to be adopted into the Luo family!"
Minister Zhou frowned, said nothing, and just looked at Xie Yun indifferently.
Breaking off the relationship between a father and his son is against the principles of nature. How could he possibly help with this?
It would be better to let these people figure it out on their own.
Besides, how could Xie Yun be willing?
As expected, Xie Yun scolded him harshly, "Luo Hongwang, don't even think about getting ahead of yourself! Xie Xiu and Xie You are both members of my Xie family. How can they be adopted into the Luo family?"
But he had barely finished speaking when Old Madam Xie jumped out excitedly, "Alright! Break off the relationship! My Xie family can't afford such disobedient and unfilial children and grandchildren! Break off the relationship immediately! Expel them from the clan!"
Xie Yun was completely dumbfounded by her behavior.
He quickly grabbed Madam Xie and whispered, "Mom, please stop making such a fuss! Don't you think you haven't made enough jokes today?"
Who knew that Madam Xie was so excited and angry that she was not willing to listen to advice?
After so many years of living in luxury, her appetite and temper have already developed. She is used to the flattery of her subordinates, and now she can no longer tolerate the disobedience of her own son Xie Yun.
In particular, Xie Yun married Chen Fang, who made her lose face, and Luo Sheng suddenly "appeared", which almost cost her life.
She now only wishes to cut off all ties with Luo Sheng. How could she be willing to have Xie Xiu and Xie You continue to stay in the Xie family?
If they stayed at the Xie family, what if Luo Sheng was worried about them and came to see them every night, or even stayed at the Xie family and refused to leave?
