Who is here?
Situ Yi followed Chu Ze's hand and saw a very familiar figure walking in from the door of the court.

The man was wearing snow-white training clothes, and his black hair was tied up by a simple peach branch.

There were shackles on his wrists, and there were two custodians armed with swords on each side of his body.

Under the surveillance of two forbidden soldiers, he walked in with a livid face.

When this person approached, Situ Yi stood up suddenly.

"Lu Huailiang?!"

How could he be caught! !

Situ Yi turned to look at Chu Ze, his eyes filled with panic.

Chu Ze, what does this mean?
Is it...

Situ Yi's legs shook like chaff.

On the contrary, it was Lu Huailiang who looked upright.

Like a slandered good citizen.

He walked in and when he saw Chu Ze, he raised his chin arrogantly: "Who are you? Why do you want to arrest us!"

When Situ Yi heard this, his lips trembled, but he didn't say the words of explanation.

"thump."

His legs gave way and he knelt on the ground with a pale face.

Lu Huailiang saw it.

He snorted coldly and cursed in a low voice: "Trash."

Although the voice was small, it was still obvious in the quiet courtroom.

Chu Ze heard it clearly.

He smiled and put one hand on the case table, looking at Lu Huailiang with a half-smile.

"It seems you know why we 'invited' you to come."

Lu Huailiang raised his eyelids and looked at Chu Ze. He sneered: "Master Chu's method of inviting people is really different."

Look, everyone knows his name.

He really knew why he called him here.

In this case, Chu Ze will stop talking nonsense to him.

Chu Ze sat up straight and put away the teasing expression on his face.

He looked at Lu Huailiang seriously. He picked up the account book in front of him and handed it to Zhao Si, indicating that he would hand it to Lu Huailiang: "Lu Huailiang, take a look."

Zhao Si took the account book and walked to Lu Huailiang.

"Go on." Zhao Si threw the account book into Lu Huailiang's arms.

Lu Huailiang took the account book.

He opened the account book contemptuously.

After just two glances, Lu Huailiang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his fingers holding the account book subconsciously tightened their strength.

Lu Huailiang recognized this account book.

But this account book should not appear in Chu Ze's hands.

Lu Huailiang pursed his lips and turned a few more pages.

Then he threw the account book on the ground.

He clapped his hands and said with a look of disgust on his face: "Where did Mr. Chu get this from? I don't understand it at all."

"Are you really not understanding, or are you just pretending not to understand?" Chu Ze looked at him.

Lu Huailiang glanced at the account book and said: "Of course I really can't understand it. I don't know where Mr. Chu found this account book, but he actually brought it in front of us. Let me tell you, if Mr. Chu wants to You should be more careful when dealing with us, at least you can't use such unethical methods to deal with us, right? If this gets out, I'm afraid people will laugh at me."

Chu Ze pointed at him.

"Okay, you have to be stubborn. We have to see how long you can keep your stubbornness."

Chu Ze moved his fingers.

Zhao Si understood the idea and said loudly: "Come on, bring the witnesses in!" His voice fell, and a thin middle-aged man wearing a hemp-colored gown and a small goatee was escorted in by the guards.

The middle-aged man held the hem of his clothes with both hands, bent over, and walked forward quickly.

When he reached the court, he immediately knelt down.

"Little Liu Cai, let me meet you, sir."

Seeing Liu Cai, Lu Huailiang's old-god face instantly distorted.

Chu Ze seemed not to have noticed Lu Huailiang's expression. He said to Liu Cai, "Liu Cai, look at the account book in front of you. Is it your handwriting?"

Liu Cai gingerly took two steps forward and respectfully picked up the account book on the ground.

Then he opened the account book and looked at it line by line.

After reading it, Liu Cai said: "Sir, this is exactly the handwriting of a villain. Every account on it is written by my own pen."

"Then tell me, whose account is recorded here and what account it is." Chu Ze asked again.

Liu Cai immediately replied: "Sir, what is recorded here is the expenses and income of all the mines under the Lu family's name. This should be just one of them. I remember that there should be nine other accounts like this. One book per month, and there should be ten books this year.”

Chu Ze reached out and tapped on the pile of books next to him.

Zhao Si immediately took these account books and showed them to Liu Cai.

Lu Huailiang was so angry that his body was shaking.

He just got the news today that Chu Ze had arrived in Zhenjiang Mansion.

Unexpectedly, this person has been secretly investigating his affairs for a long time.

Even his account books were all obtained.

Really capable.

Lu Huailiang stepped forward and kicked Liu Cai over.

"You bitch, you're slandering us here with something you don't know where you got it from. I'll beat you to death!" Lu Huailiang hit Liu Cai's heart with every kick, clearly intending to kill him. Li hit.

Chu Ze scolded with a sullen face: "Let him stop!"

The guards on both sides of Hou Li immediately stepped forward and pulled Lu Huailiang away.

Just these few times, Liu Cai was beaten and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

As soon as Lu Huailiang stopped, he immediately crawled to the side and looked at Lu Huailiang with horror and resentment.

"Sir, what we say is true. Every account recorded in these ledgers was written by me in my own hand. I can guarantee with my head the authenticity of all the data!" Lu Huailiang just killed Liu Cai Liu Cai didn't want to die. He couldn't wait to tell everything he knew, not only about the account book, but also the things he didn't know when he was first found by Zhao Si and his men.

It's all said now.

He even told Chu Ze: "We still have an account in hand, which contains evidence of gold and silver transactions between Lu Huailiang and some officials."

But what he had in his hand was only part of it.

All the contents are in Lu Huailiang's own hands.

The look in Lu Huailiang's eyes at Liu Cai almost made him eat him alive.

The counting house that he had used for nearly ten years turned against him in the face of battle.

When Lu Huailiang thought about the consequences of those accounts being exposed, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.

When the time comes, it will not be easy for him even if he wants to die.

Lu Huailiang struggled hard: "No, everything he said is false!"

"Everything we say is true. If Mr. Chu doesn't believe it, we still have witnesses." Liu Cai's voice was louder than Lu Huailiang's.

Lu Huailiang's eyes were red, and he glared at Chu Ze: "Chu Ze! You have bribed these people, and you deliberately want to harm us, so that you can take control of the mine in your own hands! Chu Ze, you are so unscrupulous, just Aren’t you afraid that the emperor will punish you?”

Seeing that the situation was so unfavorable to him, Lu Huailiang gave Chu Ze a big hat without hesitation.

As for his own sin, he refused to admit even a word of it.

People say you can't see the coffin without shedding tears. Lu Huailiang was already lying in the coffin. Not only did he not shed tears, he even yelled and cursed at the person.

A lot of tough talkers.

I'm afraid it won't be easy for this person to plead guilty. (End of chapter)
