"Oh?" Rong Ling was surprised.

Liu Wei replied, "Liu Mo still carries the crime of killing others on his back. If it can be cleared, then I am willing to take this matter lightly."

It was a small matter, not a small matter.

Could it be that there was something good about him going against the Fu's Family? Or, did he need a reason to oppose the Fu's Family?

Liu Wei thought about it again and again, but still failed to come up with a conclusion.

However, Rong Ling didn't know that Liu Wei had thought about it so much. If she knew, her face would probably be gloomy too, since it was just that it seemed like she was very tired from getting pregnant. She was afraid that she might be unhappy, so she spoiled her a bit more.

"I want to know if it's a death sentence or a prison break. Why don't you ask me?" Liu Wei began to speak, his voice overshadowing Fu Zigui and Fu Ziyao's cackling, reaching everyone's ears.

"Then, tell me about it."

Rong Ling coordinated with him and said. Naturally, she had also tired of hearing Fu's Family's nonsense, so she gave Liu Wei a chance to let him speak freely.

Liu Wei walked in front of Si Ma Xi and asked, "Master Si Ma, you said that you do not know if any prisoners with deaths could escape the prison. I would like to ask, has something like this happened before?"

Sima Xi looked at the thin and slender man in front of him and nodded. "Two years ago, because of the long period of disrepair in the dungeon, it rained heavily for seven consecutive days. The walls of the prison were soaked in water and there was a small-scale collapse. "Yesterday, I went to the yamen early, and today, I have yet to go to the yamen. As such, I do not know if the walls of the prison have any problems due to any other circumstances. Therefore, I have this opinion."

Sima Xi was an old fox, he never allowed others to make mistakes in his words. His words were very reasonable, making it impossible for others to find any mistakes in his words.

But others could not, not Liu Wei.

Liu Wei nodded her head, she had a face of deep thought, but then she changed the topic: "I did not know of the situation, which was why there was such a connection, and was indeed normal.

Sima Xi was surprised for a moment and subconsciously replied, "There was no trial yesterday. After I finished my business at the yamen, I went back to the yamen. Although it was a bit earlier than usual, in the end …"

"The birthday feast of the Old Master of the Fu's Family is coming soon. There should be many greetings letters sent by officials from various places in the yamen. Is the lord really going to go to the yamen only after finishing all the important matters?"

Si Ma Xi frowned and paused for a moment. He then seemed to have understood something and was about to say something …

Liu Wei said: "Eyes up, then to the right, fingers retracted, brows knitted slightly, this is the sign of a lie, Master Sima, Second Prince is here, do not try to speak nonsense, and disturb my hearing!"

Sima Xi shuddered and stared straight at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei then continued, "Master Sima, when you said that you left the yamen yesterday, your expression was calm and your expression was steady. That is to say, you truly believed that you had completed your business and returned home. But when I asked you again, you hesitated and then decided to lie, which meant that you finally realized that you might not have finished your business. But if it's not done, why did you think you were done before? Let me guess, but did someone hide your discount and let you pretend that you have finished your work and that you are going to be in peace? Then, what was the purpose of his actions? Plot you behind your back? Or should I turn my back on you and do something that I can only do without telling you? "

After saying that, Liu Wei turned her gaze towards Master Teacher Xiao Kang, and sure enough, she saw that the latter's face was deathly pale and full of sweat.

"The position of Prefecture Overseer is extremely important. If Sir Si Ma dares to be so deceitful, I hope that you can clear your mind of your internal affairs as soon as possible and properly correct this situation."

Liu Wei pointed out.

At this moment, Xiao Kang's body was in a bad state. He wanted to say something and distinguish between them, but here, his status was the lowest and he had no way to speak.

Liu Wei asked again, "Master Si Ma, did you leave early?"

Xiao Kang respectfully lowered his head and rolled his eyes in a place where no one could see. He seemed to be hesitating as to what to say.

"Yes, no!" Liu Wei could not wait any longer and immediately shouted.

Xiao Kang jumped in fright, but he had endured humiliation for many years, and his mind was firm. He gritted his teeth before panicking, and said heavily, "Your excellency, I will remember that I stayed at the yamen yesterday, and did not return to the yamen until 1800."

"When you were on guard, did you discover anything wrong with it?"

Xiao Kang shook his head, "No, nothing is amiss."

Liu Wei laughed and said: "Old Master Fu's birthday is soon to come. You are on guard duty, but you don't even know that you have lost a prisoner on death row. Even though the Grand Master had no rank, he was still paid by the imperial government. In his position, you did not seek any responsibility. Do you know that because of your negligence, more than a dozen death row prisoners escaped? You've committed a heinous crime, and you dare to confidently tell this official that there's nothing wrong with it? "How dare you!"

After finishing his last sentence, Xiao Kang was already frightened pale by Liu Wei's imposing aura. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed as he said, "Master, please forgive me, please forgive me! This humble one made a slip of the tongue! This humble one is saying that I was not on duty yesterday, please let me know! "

Liu Wei continued, "If it's not the duty, why did you stay until the time of the New Year?"

Xiao Kang hurriedly said, "This little one is busy handling the affairs of the yamen, so I forgot the time …"

"Oh?" Liu Wei raised her eyebrows, "Sir Si Ma said that he came down after taking care of government affairs. The time it takes to go down to the city is earlier than usual, which means that there are very few government affairs in the city, but why do you have to be so busy? It was never-ending! The city gates are closed and the streets are sealed. So busy at this time, you actually have more things to do than the Prefecture Overseer? "Perhaps you are telling me that Sir Si Ma is neglecting her duty and is not diligent in government affairs, but you are inferior to a Grand Master like yourself?"

Although the position of Grand Master Xiao Kang was indeed higher than that of Sima Xi, the Prefecture Overseer, in the Qing Province's yamen, this was a conspiracy in the dark. Who could say it out loud? Who dared to say it out loud?

Even the Fu's Family in charge of the Azure Province did not dare to show favoritism towards Xiao Kang on the surface.

Not for anything else, just for a reputation.

No one would wait patiently for the sake of a small grandmaster.

Xiao Kang understood this logic as well. Thus, he knew that he had been trapped!

Today, if he did not say what he wanted to say, if he did not say it clearly and beautifully, even if he could live past today, he would not be able to stay in the Qing Province yamen tomorrow!
