The thought that Jiang Zhonghai, that old fox, had given birth to such a troublesome son made him feel completely at ease.
"Lord Ye, I have evidence here of Lu Yanke's smuggling of salt." Jiang He waved the ledger in his hand.
Ye Jinhu asked, "Where did you get this? Is it reliable? Don't tell me it's fabricated!"
"Is this how Lord Ye handles cases? Just spouting nonsense?" Jiang He was unusually serious.
Ye Jinhu: ......
They even taught me how to handle cases.
After flipping through a few pages, Lord Ye was secretly shocked: "How did you get these?"
“You don’t need to worry about that, sir. Just tell me if this warrants punishment?” Jiang He asked.
My sister said she wanted him dead, so there's no need to show that scumbag any mercy.
Regardless of whether the dream was real or not, Lu Yanke's act of smuggling salt was a capital offense.
"If all this evidence is true, Prince Lu is doomed," Lord Ye replied solemnly.
We underestimated this spoiled brat.
"Whether it's true or not, you can find out with a simple investigation. I'll wait for your good news." Jiang He resumed his carefree attitude.
Lord Ye immediately summoned Li Sheng: "Go and check each address on this list, one by one, to see if they are all properties under the name of Prince Lu. There are smuggled salts in the vaults here. Be quick."
Lord Li: "Yes, I will take care of it right away."
Li Sheng was also terrified. If a large amount of smuggled salt were found in these places, the Pingyang Marquis's mansion would disappear from the capital.
The Emperor won't just cut off Lu Shizi's head.
Li Sheng immediately set off to search according to the address on the map.
However, after their arrival, two groups of people fought fiercely and were evenly matched.
Upon seeing the officials and soldiers from the Dali Temple arrive to search, neither side lingered for a fight and simply disappeared.
Li Sheng could tell at a glance that one group wanted to destroy evidence, and the other wanted to drag the people to the Dali Temple.
Li Sheng requested support, and Lord Ye dispatched two more teams to act separately.
Although the two groups checked and balanced each other, the Dali Temple also needed to quickly gather evidence.
The facts must be clarified before nightfall.
The locations where the smuggled salt was hidden on the map turned out to be all accurate.
Looking at the evidence before him, Lord Ye sighed, realizing that the heads of everyone in the Lu Pingyang Marquis's mansion could only be kept for a few more days.
He couldn't understand how someone as foolish as Lu Yanke could exist.
All the evidence points to him alone.
He said that Prince Jin was the mastermind behind it all, but Prince Jin was completely innocent and there was no evidence pointing to him.
The property deeds, land deeds, and account books were all written by the shopkeeper and his employees, and all the testimonies pointed to him alone.
"Let's go and meet Lord Lu!" Lord Nie led his men toward the dungeon.
The mastermind behind the scenes has been completely absolved of responsibility. Although Lu Yanke is not innocent, the fact that his entire family lost their lives is truly lamentable.
Lord Ye seemed to see the scene of blood flowing like a river outside the Meridian Gate.
Marquis Pingyang had such a fool. He died, and he dragged his whole family down with him.
Upon entering the dungeon, Lu Yanke shouted, "My lord, I'm innocent!"
