Outside the door, Mo Bei brought Zhang Hao, the old master of the Zhang family, in.

Mrs. Zhang was startled and frightened at this time, but at the same time, she still had luck in her heart. Even if their private salt and tea were found out, the prefect of Ningzhou would save him, otherwise he would be in bad luck.

But when Old Master Zhang was taken to the side hall and saw King Yan Xiaoyu, his heart began to turn cold.

Although he didn't know Yan Wang Xiao Yu, he could tell that this person was not a simple character, he could be seen as a powerful person with every gesture, who is this person?

Could it be that His Majesty knew that they were selling illegal salt and tea, so he sent someone to investigate them.

Old Mrs. Zhang didn’t dare to say anything, Xiao Yu said unhurriedly, “Zhang Hao, now I’m giving you a chance. If you tell me about the salt and tea cases, I’ll give you the Zhang family a chance.” Chance."

As soon as Xiao Yu made a sound, Mrs. Zhang's body softened. My lord, is he actually the emperor's son? Can the prefect of Ningzhou save them?

Mrs. Zhang couldn't figure out why they sold salt and tea privately, which alarmed the current prince.

Old Mrs. Zhang's face was pale, and cold sweat rolled down his face.

Xiao Yu ignored him, and continued casually: "Selling private salt and tea, talking about the beheading of the main criminal, the exile of the accomplices to serve hard labor at the border, and the daughters of the family becoming military slaves and filling them into the military barracks."

Military slaves are military prostitutes in the army.

Xiao Yu's words made Mrs. Zhang's body tremble and almost passed out.

"I'm going to give your Zhang family a chance. If you tell the story of the case and the reliance behind it, the king can forgive the Zhang family. The chief culprit of the Zhang family will be beheaded, the adult male will be exiled to the northwest, and the woman and young son will be innocent. Let it go, do you know why this king gave you this opportunity to the Zhang family?"

The old man's mind is buzzing in the first picture, but he wants to seize this only opportunity. If he doesn't confess, all the women in the family will serve as military slaves. Thinking about such a thing, he feels the blood rushing to his head, and his heart aches. I can't wait to die immediately.

"The little one doesn't know."

"Because the children of the Zhang family are not as evil as other families."

He would never let people like the Liang family and the Cao family go.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang understood that the Zhang family is indeed much better than the Liang family and the Cao family, because he has always been stricter and does not allow the children in the family to be too indulgent. I didn't expect that this would actually save their family's life in the end. straw.

"The grassroots are willing to confess."

The matter has come to this point, in order to keep the women and youngest son in the family, Mrs. Zhang decided to confess, and promised to confess to the Ningzhou magistrate's smuggling of salt and tea.

Xiao Yu not only interrogated Mr. Zhang, but also Mr. Wang's family. Mr. Wang was also willing to confess to the magistrate of Ningzhou for the sake of the women and disciples in the family.

Xiao Yu immediately ordered his men to go to Ningzhou to arrest the prefect of Ningzhou, Mo Bei led his men to Ningzhou to arrest the prefect of Ningzhou, and the Tongzhi of Ningzhou temporarily represented the prefect of Ningzhou.

The four families of Zhang Liang, Cao and Wang, except for the principal criminals of the Zhang family and the Wang family, were put in prison, and the principal criminals of the Liang family and the Cao family were temporarily shown to the public.

The members of the Liang family and the Cao family were always showing off their power and being lawless, but now they really felt scared and kept begging for mercy.

Among them, the third master of the Cao family is the most diligent one.

"Master Qingtian, I didn't do anything, I didn't participate in the Cao family's business, please let me go, let me go, I am innocent."

Mo Bei had already found out about the affairs of the four major families. He was extremely disgusted with the third master Cao. Seeing him yelling, he waved his hand and ordered: "Cut."

Several principal offenders of the Liang and Cao families were beheaded, and the rest were exiled, and those who pretended to be military prostitutes were pretended to be military prostitutes.

When the mighty team was escorted out of Qinghe County, many people stared at Cao Qinglian, the Seventh Miss of the Cao family, who was in the crowd.

This Miss Qinglian was extremely miserable at this moment, she no longer had the pride and arrogance she had before, and was as desolate as a little white flower in the wind.

Although her mother is old, she still has a charming charm.

The spectators on both sides of the street all lamented that their mother and daughter had bad lives, and they were sent into military slaves. How bad.

The principal offenders of Zhang and Wang were taken to the capital by King Yan, and the accomplices were exiled. The woman and young son were temporarily imprisoned in the prison in Qinghe County.

King Yan will let them go when the case is settled.

The arrest, beheading, confiscation, and distribution of members of the four surnamed families made the people of Qinghe County happy, and also made the merchants in Qinghe County vigilant, not daring to do anything illegal again. Seriously.

Inside Xie's house, the four little ones were happily welcoming Zhao Yuluo, Han Dongsheng and others.

Zhao Yuluo and other little guys also missed the four little ones, and ran over happily when they saw the four little ones.

Zhao Yuluo directly gave Er Bao a big hug.

"Erbao, do you miss me? I miss you?"

Er Bao was taken aback by being hugged, he has only been hugged by his mother at such a big age, and has never been hugged by other women, it feels weird now.

Erbao pushed Zhao Yuluo away seriously with a small face: "You are a girl, don't hug me, men and women can't kiss each other."

Zhao Yuluo pouted displeasedly: "Can't I miss you too?"

"no."

Er Bao turned around and went to talk with Han Nanfeng from the Han family.

Zhao Yuluo was so angry that she was half dead.

The little ones were happy, and Lu Jiao was also very happy. Finally, they didn't have to stay at home all the time. It was really frustrating to stay at home for a while, and now they can go out freely.

Lu Jiao reminded Xie Yunjin: "Be careful when you go to the academy to study, the injury on your arm hasn't been a full month yet."

Xie Yunjin looked at her with a smile and nodded, "Don't worry Jiaojiao, I will pay attention."

After talking about going to the academy to study, he didn't want Lu Gui to bring Zhao Butou in.

When Xie Yunjin saw it, he thought Catcher Zhao had something to do with him, so he stopped and looked over.

Zhao Butou strode over, looked at Lu Jiao and said, "Miss Lu, Miss Zhang family wants to see you, can you see me?"

Miss Zhang's family is Zhang Biyan, who is currently being held in the Qinghe County Government, waiting to be dealt with.

Lu Jiao frowned after hearing this, thinking that the few times she got along with Zhang Biyan was not very pleasant, so she didn't want to see her.

Right now she has a lot of things to do, the farm she bought earlier has finished harvesting rice, and now there is no medicinal material to grow, and she has not visited the three major workshops, nor has she visited the medical center.

Now that these things are piling up, she is busy enough, how can she have time to see Zhang Biyan.

Lu Jiao was about to speak, but Xie Yunjin spoke for her first.

"Jiaojiao is busy right now, how can you have time to meet an outsider, tell her that Jiaojiao is not free."

Catcher Zhao glanced at Lu Jiao, seeing that Lu Jiao had no objection, he nodded his head to show he understood.
