Xing Chuan brought a chair for Li Jing, and Li Jing sat on the chair with his legs crossed, staring at Liu Zhifu coldly.

When did magistrate Liu have such an experience? His daily life was so smooth and he was used to being served by others. Now that he has been kneeling for so long, he really can't take it anymore.

His knee was so painful that it was numb, but he didn't dare to move.

Tables and chairs were brought from a nearby teahouse and made good tea for Li Jing.

Li Jing admired the boss's ability to observe words and expressions, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes. After taking a sip from the teacup, he couldn't help admiring.

"The tea is really good."

"My lord, you're honored. This is our family's ancestral tea cake. As long as you like it, the grass people will offer it with both hands."

Li Jing waved his hand and asked calmly.

"How are rich man Li and magistrate Liu like on weekdays?"

The owner of the restaurant looked at Liu Zhifu with some embarrassment, Li Jing saw that gaze, and immediately smiled soothingly.

"With this king here, you just say it outright."

Before the owner of the restaurant opened his mouth, someone else spoke.

"These uncles and nephews are simply not human beings. They not only raise taxes and collect income, but also do all kinds of evil. They are simply the scourge of the one who is doing harm."

Everyone counted the viciousness of Liu Zhifu and rich man Li. They robbed women and harmed countless people. They behaved perversely and did all kinds of evil. They made the people in the border towns complain, but they dared not file a complaint. The consequences would be death.

The common people here are cleaning up the guilt of Liu Zhifu, and Liu Zhifu is eager to die, but because of Li Jing's presence, he dare not attack on the spot.

Li Jing fiddled with the wrench in his hand, sneered and stretched out his toes to pick Liu Zhifu's jaw.

He said coldly, "If what they said is true, I will kill you immediately."

Liu Zhifu's body trembled suddenly, his body was shaking like chaff, and his teeth were chattering.

"My lord, my lord...they framed the lower officials. The lower officials have been diligent and diligent for many years, and they are devoted to the well-being of the people. They are ungrateful. This is a pure frame."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was greeted with accusations from the common people, and everyone stepped forward one after another, revealing the stigmata left by Liu Zhifu's beating.

There was resentment in everyone's eyes, and they wished to eat Liu Zhifu alive.

Over the past few years, everyone's oppressed emotions have exploded at this moment. They know that if they don't stand up today, they will only suffer worse torture in the future if Liu Zhifu is given a chance to return.

"Prefect Liu, it looks like you won't survive today."

Liu Zhifu was so frightened that he couldn't even say the words of grievances. At this moment, the yamen servant and rich man Li hurried over.

Rich man Li wanted to run away after he learned that Li Jing was the one who was going to clean up Liu Zhifu, but he was stopped by the yamen servant.

The yamen servant knew very well that Li Jing's order to go find rich man Li by himself was a death order, and if he couldn't bring rich man Li back, he would die completely.

"Asshole, how many benefits you get from me on weekdays, I didn't expect you to be an underfed dog."

Rich Li was furious, and seeing Liu Zhifu's ashen face, he knew that it was not good to fool around today.

Xing Chuan stepped forward to control rich man Li, kicked him hard in the hollow of the leg, and rich man Li knelt on the ground.

A scheming look flashed across Li's eyes, since they were all dead, why not put the blame on Liu Zhifu.

"My lord, all things are ordered by Liu Zhifu to be done by Caomin, I beg your lord to investigate clearly."

Liu Zhifu was surprised that rich man Li turned his back on the water at a critical moment, and he looked at rich man Li angrily.

"You idiot, do you think you can escape today by saying this?"

Liu Zhifu knew very well that Li Jing was here for them, otherwise, why would Li Jing appear at the gate of the government office by such a coincidence.

People who are used to conspiracy will automatically think in the direction of conspiracy when analyzing things.

The surrounding people would not let them have any chance of surviving, and they talked about their uncle's and nephew's crimes.

Li Jing waved his hand, and everyone immediately shut up.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Rich man Li didn't expect that when Li Jing arrived just now, he would be condemned to death without asking any questions, and looked at Li Jing pleadingly.

"My lord, everything Caomin said is true, and Caomin was forced to do nothing."

As soon as rich man Li opened his mouth, the common people rallied to retort. He turned his head angrily, and the common people were afraid of his cannibalistic eyes, and after a moment of silence, because of Li Jing's presence, they bravely choked with him.

"Well, this king will give you a chance to survive."

Li Jing watched rich man Li speak, and rich man Li suddenly had a flash of joy in his eyes, and nodded repeatedly.

"My lord, what do you want to know, Cao Min promises to know everything without saying anything."

Li Jing nodded in satisfaction, and the people onlookers quieted down instantly, their hearts raised in their throats, and they looked at Li Jing in disbelief, if he let rich man Li go, would they still have a good life?

Li Jing turned around and entered the government office, Xing Chuan and others followed rich man Li into the office.

Li Jing's people surrounded the government office in secret, Li Jing took out the coral bead and handed it to rich man Li.

"Where did you get this thing?"

When Li Jing asked, rich man Li saw a flash of nervousness in his eyes when he saw the coral beads, but he immediately covered it up.

His eyes did not escape Li Jing's eyes, and Li Jing patiently waited for his answer.

"Caomin got it by accident. Seeing that the bead is very beautiful, I bought it. If the prince likes it, Caomin will give it to you."

Rich man Li didn't dare to play Tai Chi with Li Jinggang, Li Jing could take it out without asking Liu Zhifu, and asked him directly, so he knew something.

"Don't waste the chance to live that this king gave you."

Li Jingyun spoke calmly, rich man Li knew that he would do what he said, so he licked the corner of his mouth nervously.

But he didn't know how to say it, but thinking that now that he was in Li Jing's hands, he would definitely die, but rich man Li didn't know that there were many ways to die, and a happy death would be a relief, but Li Jing had plenty of ways to make him unable to survive. I can't ask for death.

"My lord, the grass people really don't know anything."

Rich Li refused to speak, Li Jing nodded to signal Xing Chuan to come over, and whispered something in his ear.

Xing Chuan left, and Liu Zhifu was brought in not long after.

Not long after, Xingchuan found two death-row inmates who were similar in stature to Liu Zhifu and Li Richman, and brought them outside, waiting to be executed in autumn.

"The lord confessed that these two people are neighbors for disaster, and death is not a pity, so they are sentenced to death."

The two condemned prisoners were taken to Caishikou and beheaded. Everyone watched the two heads fall to the ground after being disguised.

But Li Jing's people quietly left with Liu Zhifu and rich man Li, and sent them back to the secret place in the capital overnight.

Li Jing ordered people to interrogate the two, and the good times of rich man Li and Liu Zhifu came to an end.

Cui Yuexi heard the discussion of the common people outside, did not expect Li Jing to solve it so quickly?
