Xu Mochen glanced at Tang Derun, who patted Li Guangbiao on the shoulder, then came over and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this person was originally one of the team leaders of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy."
Unexpectedly, he was still one of his own. Seeing the chubby face with oil on his face, Xu Mochen immediately stopped feeling disgusted.
As long as he is not a cultivator of immortality, it is all beautiful and delicious to him.
Li Guangbiao was also discerning. He recognized Tang Derun and knew that he was the manager of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy. However, he came over with documents from the Ministry of Punishment, followed by a young man.
There is only one person in Da Gan who can make him work in front of the saddle and behind the horse.
That was His Majesty's visit in person.
Li Guangbiao's attitude became more respectful: "Two adults, please come inside."
Xu Mochen nodded and took a step forward: "Li Siyu, if I want to see you, it will take some effort."
Sweat broke out on Li Guangbiao's forehead again: "Sir, this is because I am not strict with my subordinates. I will rectify it tomorrow."
"You can get a glimpse of the judiciary from prison," Xu Mochen sighed, "A fallen leaf can reveal the fall of the world, that's what they say."
Li Guangbiao used to be a martial artist. He could fight and kill people, but he was confused when it came to the principles of governing the country.
Tang Derun knew how powerful it was: "Please figure it out step by step."
Immortal cultivators are busy with their own interests and cultivating avenues to ascend, so they cannot manage the affairs of the court well.
But this is not a shortcoming that can be changed overnight.
Xu Mochen didn't care much about his image as a faint king.
Entering the prison, he took a glance and saw that everything was in tatters and in disarray.
It's also easy to understand. Those in prison are all criminals. The cultivators don't have to worry about it. No one gives instructions on what to do, so the people below just let it go.
After walking around a few places, there was still a decent room. Li Guangbiao invited the two of them in, Xu Mochen sat down, and Tang Derun stood with his hands down.
"Your Majesty!" Li Guangbiao, as a human being, it is common for him to act according to the wind and there is no one around him. He hurriedly saluted, "I wonder what your Majesty's purpose is when you come here."
"Since you recognized me, it means you have some luck," Xu Mochen smiled, "You are an exciting person who knows how to do things."
"You should never take the position of a lower-ranking official," Li Guangbiao shook his head like a rattle, "These are all based on the training of the former General Manager Tang."
You see, Xu Mochen just likes the human race and has a good service attitude.
Unlike those who cultivate immortality, they are always drawing their swords to open up magical caves.
He signaled, and Tang Derun stepped forward: "Go and secretly bring over the leader of the clan from the former Southern Wei Kingdom."
It turned out that Li Guangbiao came to see the subjugated clan, but this was the emperor's business, so what could he say.
"Your Majesty, I will take care of it right away." He got up in a hurry and left quickly.
"Is this person reliable?" Xu Mochen narrowed his eyes, surrounded by powerful enemies, and he couldn't let go of any small details.
"Not bad," Tang Derun nodded, "Back then, I made a lot of achievements in the Embroidery Envoy. Later, I felt that it would be beneficial to move the dead and live, and spread more branches and leaves in the court."
"Aiqing's thinking is right," Xu Mochen glanced at him, "Did you expect that sooner or later I would have problems with the immortal cultivators?"
"Wei Chen does not dare," Tang Derun expressed his position hurriedly. "Wei Chen believes that His Majesty is so powerful that he will dominate the world and will need talents from all walks of life to govern the great cadres in the future."
Your Majesty, this humble minister has indeed come to repay his kindness and sacrifice himself, and his loyalty can be demonstrated just around the corner.
Xu Mochen was also very happy: "Don't worry, I know Aiqing's hard work.
I will tell you the truth, I have no intention of starting a war with Shifang World. "
Tang Derun nodded in agreement.
Over there, Li Guangbiao quickly brought someone back.
This man limped in with chains on his body, making a clanking sound when walking, with ragged clothes and disheveled hair.
Xu Mochen's consciousness swept over and found that he still had many scars on his body, some of which appeared recently.
He frowned slightly, while Li Guangbiao pushed the man to kneel down.
"Who are you from the former Southern Wei clan?" Xu Mochen asked.
The man was lying on his knees and trembling all over. Li Guangbiao had no choice but to step forward and say, "He is the prince of the former Southern Wei Kingdom."
It turned out to be the prince, who was Gu Jinge's uncle.
But at this time, Gu Jinge cannot be moved out easily.
"Do you have any grievances to say?" Xu Mochen leaned over and looked at the man.
When the man heard this, he trembled even more, and then kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, the sinner has no... no grievance."
Xu Mochen glanced at Tang Derun, who stepped forward and said, "This is a gentleman from the Ministry of Punishment. He is here specifically for grievances. If you have anything, feel free to speak out."
"No," the man trembled and trembled, "Your Majesty, the sinner does not have any grievance."
"So, is it true that he had an affair with the minister and intended to rebel?" Tang Derun raised his voice.
"The sinner is willing to plead guilty and only asks to spare the lives of the sinner and his family." He kowtows desperately again.
Reaching a deadlock, he admitted that he was guilty, and even the emperor could not do anything about it.
"Did they beat you or intimidate you?" Xu Mochen was unwilling to give in.
As soon as these words came out, Li Guangbiao started sweating again.
"No...nothing..." The man kept shaking his head, "It's the sinner's fault, the adults are not at fault."
He kept saying the same words back and forth, and he looked a little confused.
Xu Mochen turned to Li Guangbiao: "Do you know why this is the case?"
"Your Majesty," Li Guangbiao's heart skipped a beat. What was supposed to come will come again. "When I looked for him, I read the records. It is true that after a certain period of time, the master of Dali Temple will interrogate him again."
As he spoke, he hesitated to speak.
"I forgive your innocence," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "Say what you have to say."
"This is a commonly used method," Li Guangbiao wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Prisoners with grievances are arraigned and said that they want to overturn the case. After the prisoner complains about his grievances, he will be beaten severely.
Going back and forth like this, going out with the hope of clearing your grievances every time, and coming back with severe beatings every time, is like eroding the hope in the prisoner's heart little by little.
Over time, people become numb, and no matter what others say, they always think that they are guilty. "
Xu Mochen slapped his palm on the table: "It's unreasonable to put the law of the country where it is. It's a good trick. It's really a devil's trick."
I always thought that the world was bright and clear, but I didn't expect that there was such a dark place.
"But what did the Minister of Dali Temple do?" He pointed his sword at the vital point.
Li Guangbiao murmured: "The official position is low, so I don't know much about this matter for adults."
Although he didn't get an accurate answer, Xu Mochen probably had an idea.
At this point, it seems impossible to break through from the prisoner.
He had no choice but to let Li Guangbiao take the person back.
After leaving the prison and returning to the imperial study, Xu Mochen gradually eliminated the gloomy feeling.
Calming down, he began to analyze.
With so much commotion in Ningzhou, Gu Jinge's matter may not be able to be hidden from the immortal cultivators in the court.
Knowing that he might investigate this matter when he comes back, would the other party be prepared in advance?
That is to say...
Xu Mochen thought of something and stood up.
