Qian Ruoshui brought Wang Chun's elder brother to the court for interrogation, and his sister's confession was consistent. Qian Ruoshui sent the Li family father and son to the court, and saw that the two men had ragged clothes and bruises all over their bodies.

The yamen servants brought the soldiers who were tortured, and presented Du Tong's letter at that time.

Qian Ruoshui took another picture of the gavel, "Du Tong! Now that the evidence is overwhelming, he still hasn't pleaded guilty!" Du Tong was panicked. Seeing the witnesses and physical evidence in front of him, he had to draw a bond and kowtow to beg for mercy.

"Let's hear the sentence! Du Tong, who joined the army as a recorder, bribed for personal gain, abused lynching, framed good people and committed crimes. He was an official but knew the law and violated the law. The crime should be aggravated. Approval, waiting for execution!"

"No need to wait!" Defang walked in, Qian Ruoshui stepped forward to salute, Defang looked at Du Tong and said, "As an official of the imperial court, he knows how to break the law and disregards human life, how can the imperial court sit idly by, Lord Qian?"

"The next official is here"

Defang took out the gold medal given by the emperor and said, "The lonely king supervises the investigation on behalf of the emperor. Your Majesty accepts the power of the lonely king's life and death. Now that the lonely king orders you, immediately execute Du Tong's judgment."

"Your Majesty would like to obey the order of the prince!" Qian Ruoshui shouted, "Come here! Take Du Tong out to execute the sentence of abandoning the city!"

The yamen servant pulled up Du Tong, who was already limp on the ground, and went straight to the execution ground, and the common people followed to watch.

Qian Ruoshui convicted the servant girl Wang Chun of stealing and was imprisoned for three months. Wang Chun's elder brother was given fifty sticks and returned with a preaching order.

Defang admired Qian Ruoshui very much. During a period of time in Tongzhou, Wei Xu was asked to go to the trial to study. When he returned to the capital, Defang reported what he had seen to Emperor Taizong. Secretary Cheng and Zhishiguan made them in charge of the compilation of anthology and history.

Defang and his son were rewarded in the Weixu Hall. Emperor Taizong gave Defang the honor of entering the palace in a sedan chair, but only a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and two horses were rewarded.

Defang returned to the Nanqing Palace and said to Concubine Di that Weixu's performance was very good. Concubine Di was very happy, and Weixu also told Concubine Di what she had seen, especially when she was besieged in Cao Han's mansion, Concubine Di was very upset. I was afraid, but Wei Xu spoke very happily, saying that he admired his father's stern reprimand and calm performance.

Younger brothers Weixian, Weineng, and younger sister Weiling listened with gusto, and Weixian even shouted that they would go together next time. Concubine Di hugged Weixian and said, "Your mother won't let you go, it's so dangerous, and my mother won't let you go next time." Don't let your father go"

Defang smiled, "Xian'er, if you don't listen to your mother, you will be spanked."

Wei Xian looked at Concubine Di, "Can I go after the fight?"

Concubine Di was stunned for a moment, and Defang laughed, "Hahaha, Xian'er is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, a child can be taught."

Concubine Di tapped Weixian's nose, "Your father taught me to ruin it"

Defang hugged her daughter Weiling, "The little princess of the lonely king is the best, isn't she?"

"Yeah." Wei Ling nodded and smiled.
