"What's more," Ye Yongjia smiled ferociously at him, "Why don't we talk about Wu Renyun's case?"
Lu Deguang's eyes evaded and he lowered his head without answering.
"This loyal and righteous man!" Ye Yongjia suddenly became angry, "A loyal and righteous man actually did such a despicable and shameless thing! Aren't you brave and loyal, okay! I will open your eyes in front of the people. Skin!"
Lu Deguang was sweating profusely and biting his lip nervously.
"Wu Renyun is the magistrate of Xihua County and a confidant of Yuan Lun. In order to join the party and fight against dissidents, you pretended to send Zhao Shu to persuade him to rebel in Xihua and ordered him to kill people. Then you sent Ye Yongjia to lead troops to surround Xihua and rebel. Killing Professor Zhao in the name of... What a good show!" Ye Yongjia observed Lu Deguang's expression and added: "If you feel that I am talking nonsense, there is Li Yong to testify."
After that, he stared at Lu Deguang's face carefully, his eyes that were darting around showed panic and guilt. He stared at a commoner who was glaring at him, and the red color of embarrassment slowly transitioned from his cheeks to the roots of his ears. But more importantly, he defended his people, which restored a lot of his self-confidence, but left Ye Yongjia disappointed.
He didn't understand that Lu Deguang had been painfully exposed, and all his deeds had become worth mentioning! Why do people still worship him so much? Ye Yongjia hated them deeply. His anger was completely aroused in his heart. He really wanted to kill this sinner...!
"Bring me a rope, sir." Ye Yongjia said to Shi Xiushen kindly, showing more calmness and calmness.
"Here." Shi Xiushen untied the rope tied to his belt and handed it out with one hand.
Ye Yongjia took it and walked down the steps quietly without saying a word; he knelt down and looked at Lu Deguang's face, and instantly showed that terrible smile.
"In order to expose you, I would not hesitate to ruin my own reputation...but these fools are still defending you! What the hell are you..."
"I'm telling you," Lu Deguang sneered, "I worked hard for them. I exempted them from taxes, got rid of corrupt officials, and rewarded them for farming. Isn't that enough?" His teeth trembled. "On the other hand, what can you do? Give them a gift?"
"No matter what you say about me... I am a hypocrite, and I am a vicious villain who caused your exile and embarrassment! But this heinous prisoner in your eyes will always enjoy the thoughts of the people!"
Ye Yongjia looked at the people behind him again. He knew that this man was a heinous sinner, but he was unable to convict him morally. His mind was confused, and anger soon overcame his reason.
"Okay..." Ye Yongjia pinched the rope, then pounced on him like a wolf, wrapping the rope around his neck several times, "Then I'll show those people how you died!"
After that, he stared at Lu Deguang with his bloodshot eyes, and then frantically pulled the rope left and right, causing Lu Deguang to let out a weak and feeble cry; he tightened it with great strength, watching Lu Deguang's face. His face gradually turned red, his lips were purple and blue, and his eyes were wide open, as if they were about to burst; his saliva and snot mixed with tears were scattered all over his face, and some of them slipped straight from his cheeks to Ye Yongjia's wrists, and The neck close to his wrist was bruised and swollen, so swollen that his facial features seemed to be squeezed together, which was extremely uncoordinated.
Slowly, blood seeped out from his ears and dripped into Ye Yongjia's hands; then, Lu Deguang's eyes stopped moving and he fell to the ground, silent for a long time. Ye Yongjia was stunned for a moment, then opened his palm. Blood slowly flowed from between his fingers, and his hands were covered with frightening red 'marks'. He looked blankly at the people outside the hall. They cursed angrily at him, and a few people even climbed over the railings of the hall...
"Hurry up and cover Ye Tongzhi!" Shi Xiushen took a moment to react and shouted hurriedly.
Ye Yongjia's vision gradually became blurred, his spirit suddenly became comatose, and at this moment he fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.
He was confused about what happened after that.
…
"Ye Tinglong."
He suddenly heard Shi Xiushen calling him, and then slowly opened his eyes. He really felt the warmth of the bed, but he was wondering where he was.
"This is the meeting room of the prefect's yamen." Shi Xiushen explained.
Ye Yongjia sat up and said, "Lu Deguang is dead, right?"
Shi Xiu Shen pondered for a long time. "You were killed by Ye Tongzhi." He was silent for a while and then added: "What you did was against the rules. I should have stopped you, but in the end..."
"Don't mention it."
Ye Yongjia shook his head, then stepped forward and asked, "All the evidence I revealed will be handed over to the court, right?"
Shi Xiu Shen lowered his head.
"Alas," he lay down sadly, "I think I deserve death..."
"I didn't report the interrogation."
Ye Yongjia looked at him in surprise: "But..."
Shi Xiushen stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "It's not easy to be acquainted with each other. You have shouldered so many lives for Lu Deguang. If I report your case again, then who am I?"
After he said that, he turned around and walked to the curtain and took the sword.
"Isn't the Imperial Guard afraid of the court's perception?" Ye Yongjia asked, looking at his back.
Shi Xiushen turned around and said with a smile: "That's the reason. I risked beheading to protect you, but you have to live a good life for me, okay?" After saying that, he laughed heartily again, and then Rolled up the curtain and went out. Ye Yongjia was stunned and motionless.
A few days later, the imperial court approved Shi Xiushen's memorial and ordered him to immediately inspect the Lu Mansion, send all the relatives in the mansion to the capital, and exterminate the nine tribes. Fortunately, Li Yong took refuge in Ye Yongjia, and was able to "let the past go by the wayside".
The officers and soldiers surrounded the Lu Mansion, and sent the clerk of the household to record the property in the mansion. According to the calculation, more than 50,000 taels were embezzled outside the salary. According to the imperial edict, all was confiscated from the treasury. In addition to relatives, anyone who secretly aided Lu Deguang's rebellion will be executed. So, Shi Xiushen sent people to build a prison car overnight, gathered 13 criminals, big and small, and returned them to the capital.
Ye Yongjia went to say goodbye to Shi Xiu Shen, who said: "The imperial edict states that before the court decides on a new official, the governor of this state will be temporarily appointed as the prefect, and Ting Long will be in charge of the important post."
Ye Yongjia held his hand: "I understand all this. But once Si Jin leaves, it may be difficult to see him again."
Shi Xiushen shook his head and said with a smile: "If Tinglong doesn't forget this one-time encounter, then it doesn't matter whether we see him or not."
Ye Yongjia sighed, then let go of his hand, took a few steps back, and bowed to him solemnly.
Shi Xiushen responded with fists, then got on his horse, snapped his whip, and pointed at the soldiers:
"Get going now!"
The army of hundreds of people just stepped on the same steps and left in unison.
