After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone felt something was wrong.

The tables of second-generation young masters did not seem to be drinking wedding wine, but seemed to be drinking sober wine, bitter wine.

Because these people were surrounded by Jinyiwei, others did not dare to ask, but it was clear that these second-generation officials must have caused trouble.

And they must have been caught by His Majesty.

However, no one dared to ask unless Li Mufan said it.

At the front center table, Li Mufan's family sat, including the princess, the princess, and Helian Sina, the guardians. After hesitating for a long time, Fan Qingyue still asked: "Your Majesty, what happened to these children..."

Li Mufan sighed and shook his head when he heard this, and said to Liu Long at another table: "Along, it's getting late, the spring night is short, you should go to the bridal chamber first."

Liu Long got the same idea and pretended to be drunk and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, then I will not accompany you."

With the support of two maids, he staggered into the inner room.

After he left, Li Mufan stood up and said, "Everyone, you must be curious about why the young men at that table are so dejected."

"Chen Yang, you are the director of the Public Security Bureau, tell me what happened!"

Chen Yang touched his forehead, smiled bitterly, and stood up. He glanced at Zhang Tie, Yang Tong and others who looked depressed and said, "Everyone, your majesty was on a private tour in disguise and happened to run into these people trafficking in human beings..."

When these words came out, everyone's heart jumped.

Since Wei Yang presided over the reform, from Li Mufan to the petty officials in various counties, the entire court has repeatedly emphasized that the country should be ruled by law.

It would be fine if this happened to others, but the key is that these people are all sons and daughters of high-ranking officials in the court. Isn't this breaking the law knowingly, which is aggravated?

In the hall, many officials showed ugly expressions on their faces, especially Zhang Tie, who almost spit fire in his eyes when he looked at his son.

He suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, I will kill this rebellious son with my own hands!"

This man has always had a hot temper. He was about to explode on the spot, and scared his son so much that he wanted to run away.

"How dare you!"

Fan Qingyue stood up suddenly and shouted: "Zhang Tie, Your Majesty is here, what do you want to do!"

"Ah..."

Zhang Tie looked at Li Mufan, who had an expressionless face, and sighed heavily, saying: "Your Majesty, I was reckless. Please punish me."

Li Mufan waved his hand and said: "No problem."

He slowly said: "My ministers, your salaries are not low, at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones a year."

"Your boy spent a lot of money at the auction. A demon girl was able to bid millions of spirit stones!"

"I am very curious, where did they get the money from?"

"Did you give it to them? When did you all become so rich?"

When these words came out, everyone, including Fan Qingyue, felt a jolt in their hearts.

His Majesty finally brought up this most sensitive topic!

Where did the money come from? It is not ruled out that it was earned from training outside, but the most likely reason is corruption and abuse of power!

Li Mufan saw the expressions of everyone one by one, and he said angrily: "Look at yourselves, look!"

"I wear a robe woven with spiritual crystals, a storage ring worth millions of spiritual stones on my hand, and I am surrounded by people when I go out."

"I live a good life, rich!"

His voice became louder and louder: "But I remind you, wearing this court dress, you are the role model for the people!"

"Are you afraid that the people don't know that our court officials are rich or what?"

"Aren't you telling the people that you are corrupt!"
