The jailer secretly groaned. It was all these people's fault for not listening to him and hiding. Since that was the case, they shouldn't blame him either.

So he replied with a forced smile, "In response to Lord Ye, it seems that he bribed one of the servants to come in and visit his relatives."

"A visit?" The official breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this person wasn't sent by some big shot, which made him easier to deal with.

He turned to the group and said, "This is a heavily guarded prison. How can you just come and go as you please? Moreover, you are suspected of bribing government officials, which makes your crimes even more serious. Guards, arrest them and we'll interrogate them later."

He glanced greedily at Qin Wanru's ample bosom and Jiang Luofu's outstanding legs. One was a mature woman, the other a sophisticated lady; that was what he called alluring. In comparison, the young girl seemed far too inexperienced.

Once I'm in this dungeon, even the Heavenly King himself has to let me do whatever I want. After a few days of fun, their families will come begging for my release with a huge sum of money, and I'll reluctantly let them go. They won't blame me; on the contrary, they'll be grateful.

As for the women who were bullied, they dared not tell their families for the sake of their reputation. It was pointless to play around with them, since this wasn't the first time they had done it; they were quite adept at it.

Qin Wanru's face turned pale upon hearing this. Sure enough, something had happened. She should have avoided it earlier.

She sensed the other person's malicious gaze. As a woman, she was naturally able to read men's desires and thought to herself, "It's over, it's over. I'm really going to be a lamb to the slaughter."

At this moment, Jiang Luofu frowned and said coldly, "Which law of the Great Zhou Dynasty are you following? How can you throw someone into the prison before they have been tried by the relevant authorities?"

At that moment, one of the officials suddenly remembered something and hurriedly whispered a few words in the ear of the leader surnamed Ye.

The leader surnamed Ye was startled. He looked Jiang Luofu over carefully, then at her signature black stockings: "Are you a young lady from the Jiang Tingwei family?"

“Yes, it is indeed me, but this has nothing to do with my identity. Even if I were an ordinary person, you cannot break the law like this.” Jiang Luofu’s face was a little cold. She had studied the law all her life and naturally abhorred this kind of behavior. “Judging from your official robes and your surname Ye, it seems that you are Ye Ping, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.”

Zu An couldn't help but glance at the man again. His surname was Ye?

In my past life, many novel protagonists seemed to have the surname Ye. There's a saying circulating online: people with the surname Ye, Xiao, or Chu... are usually not to be messed with.

However, the person opposite him looks ordinary and doesn't have any domineering aura. He probably doesn't have the destiny of a protagonist.

“I didn’t expect Miss Jiang to know me. But it’s easy for Miss Jiang to scold me, but you yourself brought people into the prison, which is also a kind of knowingly breaking the law,” the official surnamed Ye sneered. “I’m not saying this to be mean, but you, who do research in the academy, only know how to talk on paper. How would you know the hardships of us on the front lines?”

"You've been making it sound nice, but what about those Murong family members behind you? Have they ever been tried by any department? Aren't they just thrown into prison with a single word from above?"

The Ministry of Justice was established to check and balance the Court of Justice, and the two sides already had a bad relationship. So even though he knew Jiang Luofu's identity, he showed her no respect whatsoever.

Upon hearing his words, the members of the Murong family cursed him angrily, clearly indicating that this incident had accumulated a great deal of resentment within them.

Hearing their curses, Ye Ping's expression turned cold, and his eyes narrowed.

Jiang Luofu remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "Indeed, the Great Zhou Dynasty still has many shortcomings. We, as legal professionals, should strive to change these shortcomings, rather than using them to fabricate charges against people and arbitrarily imprison them."

"Naive!" Ye Ping scoffed. "Since Miss Jiang wants to talk about the law, then I'll give you a proper explanation of the law."

"You visited the prisoners without applying to the imperial court. Isn't that a violation of the law?"

"You just bribed the jailers here, didn't you commit bribery?"

"Moreover, with so many of you, your identities are highly suspicious. I have reason to suspect that some of you are accomplices of prisoners, here to exchange information, and perhaps planning a prison break or something similar."

"So I detained you all and interrogated you one by one to clear your names. Everything was reasonable and in accordance with the relevant procedures. Even if you take it to the imperial court, I'm not afraid."

Jiang Luofu raised her eyebrows, her expression turning cold: "The court established these rules and laws to deal with wicked and evil people, but in reality, good people are often bound by the rules and laws, while bad people can use these rules to bully good people."

"Do good people deserve to be bullied? These rules and laws need to change!"

She slowly bent down, grabbed the hem of the pencil skirt and pulled it, instantly transforming one side of the skirt into something resembling a cheongsam.

Ye Ping, sitting opposite her, was taken aback. He wondered if this woman was planning to seduce him. That was rather interesting.

Suddenly, Jiang Luofu stomped her high heels on the ground and, to everyone's astonishment, charged directly towards the group of officials opposite her.
