In Wuzhou, in the evening, Ling Chufeng and Meng Yu were sitting at the table in the inn. They saw the box they had taken out from the secret room. Inside it were all evidence of the correspondence between Liu Zhizhou and the prefect of Huaining, as well as a list of who had divided the spoils. The people in it included most of the officials in Huaining, which showed how difficult life was for the people of Huaining. These people deserved to die.
Meng Yu stayed in Qinghe County for several days before he found evidence of the county magistrate's guilt. Although he did not have a list of names, he had correspondence with the prefect. He was waiting for Wang Yu to come. With these evidences, he could arrest people directly.
"Xiuzhi should be arriving in Huaining soon. Let's go to Changfeng Pavilion to wait for him. That's the only way to get from the capital to Huaining."
Meng Yu looked at the man sitting opposite him. He was well-known because he was praised by people in the martial arts world, such as a young genius, superb martial arts skills, and handsome appearance. After he won the first place in the martial arts competition, he became a household name.
That's why she was itching to try it out and decided to try it out to see if it was as the saying goes. However, she failed this time, the only time, and was injured by him, so she had to recuperate for a long time.
It's just that kind of passion of hers. The more she fails, the more she wants to succeed. After all these years of studying his methods, she only succeeded once. But that time wasn't a success either. Instead, the two of them became friends while fighting.
It might also be that Ling Chufeng unilaterally felt that she was annoying, so in order to avoid her causing trouble again and again, Meng Yu remembered that the year when the two of them competed in lightness skills was three years ago.
She remembered that Ling Chufeng was very impatient when he said these words to her, and seemed to be hiding something on his mind.
Ling Chufeng said at the time that if she could catch up with him, she would win, and she should not come to him to test her skills again.
That time, the two of them competed in lightness skills, and she won, but she always felt that Ling Chufeng seemed to lose to her on purpose, which made her very frustrated. However, since she had agreed to this matter, she also abided by it. When traveling in the world, keeping promises is the most important thing.
But he just told her not to try again, and didn't say that she was not allowed to look for him, so in the past few years, she would look for him whenever Ling Chufeng returned to Feixue Villa.
I don't quite understand why I did this, but I just did it.
Meng Yu woke up from his memories. This person always looked cold and rarely cared about anyone.
"You have a good relationship with Lord Wang?"
Ling Chufeng just nodded and said nothing else.
On the third day, Wang Yu and his group finally arrived.
Wang Yu spotted two people standing at Changfeng Pavilion from a distance. As he approached, he realized they were Ling Chufeng and Meng Yu. He dismounted and asked, "Chongguang, Miss Meng Yu, why are you here?"
When Ling Chufeng saw Wang Yu standing in front of him, his heart finally settled down. He stepped forward and hugged him, his voice suppressed and restrained.
"Xiuzhi, you are not dead."
Wang Yu felt a little pain from being strangled by him. It was true that martial artists had very strong muscles. Thinking that this person was also worried about him, he ignored his thoughts and patted his arm and said, "You are blessed with a long life."
Ling Chufeng wanted to hold this person forever, but... he could only let go. Wang Yu stepped out and asked, "Ms. Meng Yu, how are Ling Xiao and the others? Have you seen Zheng Shu?"
Although Meng Yu felt that something was amiss with Ling Chufeng just now, thinking that their relationship was really good, he suppressed that slight feeling and said, "They are fine, they are all with Wu San."
Wang Yu was relieved to know that they were fine and asked them why they were here.
Ling Chufeng calmed down and said, "Ever since I knew you were going to the capital, Meng Yu and I have been looking for evidence. We have enough evidence at the moment."
Wang Yu heard him say that he had found evidence. He brought so many people here just to find evidence of their guilt, but he didn't expect that Ling Chufeng and Meng Yu had done it.
He turned around and said to Song Xu, the Minister of Justice, "Sir Song, let's go to the pavilion to talk."
Although Song Xu seldom saw Ling Chufeng, he still knew him. After all, he was Mr. Lan's third disciple, and he had caused quite a stir in the capital at that time.
After the four people sat down in the pavilion, Ling Chufeng took out the evidence they had obtained and told them what he had found out during this period.
After Song Xu finished reading all the evidence, he took a deep breath and put the booklet in his hand back into the box. "This is a cover-up."
When I received the emperor's order, I knew that the matter was not simple, but I didn't expect that so many people were involved in this case.
"Thank you, Master Ling and this young lady. If it weren't for you, even if we came to Huaining, it might still take us a long time to investigate."
"Nothing."
Wang Yu: "Sir Song, now that we have the evidence, let's arrest him."
Song Xu looked back at the thousands of Jinyiwei on the official road and nodded, "Let's go to the Huaining prefectural government office."
Ever since the things in the secret room were stolen, the magistrate of Wuzhou didn't even dare to inform anyone. He was so scared that he thought his property was going to be confiscated and his family was exterminated, so he packed up and fled overnight.
So when Wang Yu and his men surrounded the government office, Cao Mengxue didn't get any news at all. Until the servant came running in a panic and said that someone had surrounded the government office, he was still wondering who was so brave and planned to go out and take a look himself. It was only when he heard the noise outside that he stopped.
I thought, it’s all over.
Wang Yu arranged for his men to surround the government office and had those outside shouting, "Cao Mengxue, you are corrupt, you arbitrarily collect taxes, you force people into slavery, and you assassinate an official of the imperial court. You deserve the death penalty. Surrender immediately."
Such a big event happened in the daytime, and the people around gathered around and watched from afar. When they heard Wang Yu say that the prefect was corrupt and violated the law to collect taxes indiscriminately, they immediately started discussing it.
Some people found that their relatives were forced to sell their children because they could not pay back the money. They always thought it was the money house's business, but they didn't expect that it was instigated by the prefect. The people were immediately filled with righteous indignation and shouted around the government office for the prefect to come out.
When Cao Mengxue found out that the people surrounding him were the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he knew that the matter was exposed and he could not escape death. However, what he did not expect was that he did not die at the hands of the emperor but at the hands of his most beloved concubine.
When he fell, his eyes were wide open, with an expression of disbelief, and he died with his eyes open.
The maids around looked at Concubine Yue, who was holding a bloody dagger and laughing like a madman, and immediately screamed and fled.
"He's murderous, he's crazy!"
Suddenly, the backyard of the government office was in chaos. Mrs. Ye, the wife of Cao Mengxue, rushed over and saw that Cao Mengxue was dead. She screamed and pointed at Concubine Yue, unable to speak, "You, you..., you..."
Even the three children who came later screamed when they saw this scene, but when they saw Concubine Yue laughing crazily, they didn't dare to step forward. They didn't react until Wang Yu brought people in.
Wang Yu didn't wait long and led his men in. When they arrived at the backyard, they saw that Cao Mengxue was dead. A man in white clothes was kneeling beside him, holding a dagger in his hand and kneeling on the ground motionless.
The other people around were already dumbfounded. It was not until Wang Yu and the others came in that Madam Ye said with trembling hands, "He, he killed him."
After saying this, he lost his temper, fell to the ground, and tears began to flow. At this moment, he realized that their family was finished, everything was finished.
Wang Yu ordered his men to take control of all the family members in the backyard.
