Chapter 24 Questions

Ye Zhao captured Li Yong so vigorously, which had already alarmed most of Suiyang. As soon as Ye Zhao returned to the county government, he saw that all the wealthy families who had been invited to the banquet had arrived and had many faces. However, just looking at his clothes and temperament, he knew that these people were also rich people in the city, and countless people in the city were crowded in front of the door, which looked more lively than the festival.

"You are here, why are you here?" He asked while standing up to the familiar faces who were coming over.

"Empress, even though Li Yong is at fault, he has done a lot of good deeds for me, Suiyang. It would be a bit insulting to capture him directly like this." An old man stepped forward and said to Ye Zhao.

"This one is..." Ye Zhao looked at this person in confusion and asked with a smile.

"Encourt, this is Zhang Hu, the Zhang family, who once served as the prefect of Panyang." Qian Zhuan hurriedly stepped forward and explained in a low voice.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhang." Ye Zhao looked solemn and clasped his fists at Zhang Xiang and said, "Since Mr. Zhang was once an official, he should know that what we did should be in line with the order, laws, and minorities of the court. Ye did not want to make a big fuss because of this bad guy's innocence and forcing the robbery of the people was already a blatant violation of our law. Since Ye was the magistrate of Suiyang County, and the suffering master also sounded the drum of injustice. The case has not been decided yet. He just invited him to the hall to ask. It was only because Li Yong openly resisted that the official had to send troops to capture him, and it was not in a dilemma."

"So that's it." Zhang Xiang nodded, and was quite satisfied with Ye Zhao's attitude: "There is no famous scholar in our dynasty who can forgive him for breaking the law, but Li Yong is a prominent family in Suiyang after all, and he is quite famous. Please do not make a mistake."

"Ye naturally knows this. Thank you Mr. Zhang for your advice." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"After all, the envoy is young, so I hope to listen to you so that you won't be blinded by evil people." Zhang Xiang said with a smile.

Ye Zhao frowned, reached out to stop Guan Hai and others who wanted to have an attack, and nodded, "Mr. Zhang is willing to give advice, Ye cannot ask for it, please."

Wang Xing and Jiang Sheng had already stood on both sides of the court with more than a dozen county guards. Qiu Chi stood beside Ye Zhao, and Guan Hai and others had no positions, so they could only stand on both sides as county officials.

"Dian Wei's incident will be tried later. Let Liu and Li Yong come to the court first." Ye Zhao looked at the gentry standing on both sides and listened, and sighed. It was originally a very simple case, but at this moment, it became complicated by the interference of these people.

"Here!" Someone immediately took Liu and Li Yong to court.

"Liu family, Li Yong is a prominent family in Suiyang. This incident has alarmed the famous scholars of Suiyang. If you tell me your experience again, Li Yong will confront you here. You can rest assured that there are so many respected famous scholars here. If what you say is true, I and all the famous scholars will preside over justice for you." Ye Zhao sighed, exposing the scars, and still treating a woman who is already miserable. He really doesn't want to do it, but now he has to mention this miserable incident.

"Yes, the messenger." After Liu was silent for a moment, his hoarse voice slowly told the nightmare that happened three days ago again.

"Shameless thief, I'm going to kill you!" Dian Wei stared at Li Yong with red eyes, and a violent aura burst out all over his body. The chains that bound his body creaked, as if they might collapse at any time. Guan Hai and others were shocked and hurried forward to hold Dian Wei down.

Liu also discovered Dian Wei, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Brother Dian, why are you here?"

"After I returned to the city, I heard about you and rushed over without stopping. Unexpectedly, I was still one step late. I wanted to kill Li Yong, but I was stopped by this dog official and plotted by him!" At the end of the story, Dian Wei blushed a little. After all, he thought he was extremely brave and unrivaled, but Ye Zhao was deceived in a few words and was captured without moving his hands, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Brother Dian, you shouldn't have come." Liu, who had never shed tears even when he encountered the most painful thing, couldn't help but cry when he saw Dian Wei tied up.

Ye Zhao looked at the two of them with great interest, patted the table and said, "Okay, let's talk about the old things, I'll talk about it later. Master Li, how do you explain this?"

"Ha, why do you need to explain? I will not listen to this shameless woman's deception. It is obvious that she saw that I was a little wealth and was greedy for wealth and lured me. Seeing that I was unmoved, the evil one complained first." Li Yong sneered.

"You are shameless!" Liu rushed towards Li Yong like crazy, but was held down by Wang Xing and others.

"Let her go!" Dian Wei, who had just calmed down, became angry again and struggled angrily.

Li Yong thought that there were so many Suiyang gentry present, and he felt at ease and had enough confidence. He looked at Ye Zhao proudly and said, "Mr. Ye has been a magistrate of the county, but he doesn't know that this person's heart is sinister. Li has seen such a foolish woman too many times."

"This is also your one-sided statement. In the court, evidence is emphasized. If Lord Li can provide enough convincing evidence, Ye should enforce the law impartially. If you two have their own opinions, in order to avoid wrong judgment, I can only detain you and slowly find out the case." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Evidence?" Li Yong's heart moved and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Does the evidence be calculated?"

"Eunuch, this Li Yong is a big family in Suiyang, so the people he found will naturally help him." Liu said anxiously.

"That's right!" Ye Zhao nodded, thought for a while and said, "Liu, did you remember some specific things when you were captured and taken to Li's mansion?"

"Eunuch, you are a bit biased. In order to tempt me, this tricky woman has been pestering me and naturally went to my house. Besides, in order to avoid suspicion that night, I went out to visit friends?" Li Yong turned his head and looked around and said, "Brother Zhou, Brother Zheng and Brother Shen, I went to drink with you that night. You must testify for me!"

The three people who were clicked by Li Yong were stunned when they heard this. Seeing that Li Yong kept winking at them, they could only secretly scold Li Yong for being troublesome. However, they were both rich gentry and had relationships. Since Li Yong asked for help, they could only bite the bullet and come out and said, "Yes, we can indeed testify for Brother Li."

"According to my Han laws, there is a crime of sheltering perjury. Can you think clearly about it?" Ye Zhao looked at the three of them and said.

"Empress, we have no words." The three of them rushed the ducks and put them on the shelves at this moment, so they could only bite the bullet and go on.

Ye Zhao smiled and looked at Li Yong and said, "Master Li, if it is proven later that the three of them have perjury, it will be unfavorable to you."

"Don't worry!" Seeing the three of you helping him, Li Yong felt that he was sure of victory, and his attitude became even more wild and said, "What did I say about Li Yong? I am also a person in Suiyang City. How could I lie to you?"
