As Xu Si'er voluntarily surrendered, Li Weiwei lost his last hole card, and the complete chain of evidence exposed what he had done. When the Tian family's father and son appeared, the strangulation marks on their necks were still bruised, and they seemed to be laughing at Li Wei's sophistry unscrupulously.

After experiencing the threat of death, the Tian family father and son have completely given up their luck, and seeing the trial of Lord Yushi is like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. As a result, a long-hidden network of corruption surfaced in front of everyone. Seven years ago, Li Weiwei came to Qingping County to take office, and at first he was constrained, and after plotting to expel the influence of the county officials, county lieutenants, and dianshi on the official affairs and personnel of the county government. A year later, he took control of all the affairs of the county government and became a real one-handed "Qingtian", and his selfish desires began to swell without restraint. The Tian family, who had been doing business under the protection of the county before, encountered a predicament, so they took the initiative to show favor to the county commander Li Wei. Li Weiwei didn't pretend at all at first, and of course he didn't return the gift from the Tian family. After a few times, the things sent by the Tian family changed from the four treasures of the study to the folding fan calligraphy and painting, and later to the jade and silver tickets, and the weight became heavier and heavier, and Li Weiwei occasionally allowed Tian Ruogu, the head of the Tian family, to visit the door. Until three years ago, the Tian family and the He family had a conflict in business, so they asked Li Weiwei for help, and then colluded with Li Weiwei to seize the He family's silk business and assets, and then divided it up. Later, in order to maintain the relationship with Li Weiwei, the Tian family will send tens of thousands of taels of silver every year to filial piety, and Li Weiwei will also give the Tian family official convenience. Some time ago, the Tian family wanted to collude with Li Weiwei again to try to seize the Deng family's silk business and assets, but was rejected by the latter for some reason. As a result, both sides turned against each other and wanted to kill each other, and the result of the fight was to expose this case of collusion between officials and businessmen.

Sun Yongcheng's heart was very heavy after hearing this, and he pulled the beard under his chin and fell silent. He didn't expect that the collusion between officials and businessmen had only just been discovered after seven or eight years, and Li Wei's official reputation among the people was unexpectedly good. If it weren't for the appearance of a somewhat abrupt report letter, if it weren't for Li Wei's desire to kill Han Pingsan, if it weren't for his own intention to check it, I believe that no one would know about the disaster of the He family, and I believe that there would be the next Deng family, Li family, Wang family, etc.

Li Weiwei was removed from the official uniform, wearing a dark long shirt, and stood under the lobby for the first time as a person on trial. His face was gray, his eyes were blank, and his hair was a little gray, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

Sun Yongcheng came back to his senses and patted the startled wood, and shouted: "Li Weiwei, what else do you have to say?" You have taken bribes and cruel people like this, have you ever thought about being ashamed of the emperor and the people? ”

Li Weiwei hung his head and didn't say a word from the moment he entered the lobby, and when he heard Sun Yongcheng ask such a question, he raised his head and said, "My lord, the lower officials have never been ruins of the people. Since the previous dynasties, what was advocated was 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', and merchants were the end of the four peoples and the source of chaos, and the lower officials only moved two illegal traders. Since taking office, Xia Guan has been persuading Sangzi, supporting agriculture and forestry, educating people, and purifying customs, so that the people can bathe in the king and live and work in peace and contentment. If there is a mistake, it is only a violent means to ruin the two businesses, not to arbitrarily destroy the people to satisfy their selfish desires. ”

Sun Yongcheng was dumbfounded after listening to Li Wei's rebuttal, what kind of dark mind should this have to say such shameless words! He didn't want to entangle with it, so he said directly: "No matter how low the status of a merchant is, he is still a holy people, not a private person to be slaughtered. Li Weiwei, no matter how clever your tongue is, it will be difficult to escape today. Be honest and tell me where the bribes you have received over the years have gone, and the official can take care of your decency. ”

Li Weiwei stood at the bottom of the hall and turned his face to look at the Tian family father and son kneeling on the ground, Han Pingsan, who was full of hatred, and Xu Si'er, who was trembling. From the beginning to the end, he only regarded these people as stepping stones in the process of his career ascension, never took them in his eyes, and never took the lives of these people to heart, and he never imagined that in the end, they would be planted in their hands. Thinking of this, he shook his head, as if to say goodbye to his past, and then lowered his head and stopped talking. No matter how Sun Yongcheng, who was sitting on the top of the lobby, roared, and shouted angrily, he was indifferent, as if an old monk had settled down.

In the end, Sun Yongcheng had no choice but to temporarily put him in prison and send him to Beijing on a later date.

It's night, Qingping County Jail. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Li Weiwei is being detained next door to the Tian family's father and son. Although Tian Huaying no longer had a piece of good meat in her body, she was standing in prison at this time, but she looked excited. "Li Weiwei, I didn't expect you to have today! Where's your aura the other day? Didn't you say that you were a green sky in Qingping County? Is it cloudy today? Hahaha...... There is a county master to accompany him, and it is not a loss for Lao Tzu to go to Huangquan Road! Looking at his expression, he seemed to have fallen into madness, and his laughter was as sharp as that of a night owl.

Li Weiwei sat cross-legged on the thatch, looking calm, as if he was still staying in the study in the backyard. He didn't speak, just glanced up at Tian Huaying, and there was a little sympathy and pity in his eyes.

When Tian Huaying saw Li Weiwei's eyes, she suddenly jumped like thunder, and her originally flushed face was a little distorted. "Li Weiwei, why do you have mercy on me? You think you're still the county master! Now you are a prisoner like Lao Tzu, where are you more noble than others? You're going to be beheaded with Lao Tzu in a while, and I'll see if your neck doesn't bleed when the time comes......"

Li Weiwei just shook his head and smiled. Seeing this, Tian Huaying directly lost her mind, and while roaring loudly, her left hand stretched forward from the gap in the middle of the wooden fence, her fingertips turned white, trying to scratch Li Wei's face, until she was whipped a few times by the jailer.

Sun Yongcheng returned to the post station, pacing in the study, his brows furrowed, and he was still thinking about who Li Weiwei had given the bribe to. If there were no clues, the case would only be half completed, but a corrupt official was finally taken down. Thinking of this, his frowning brow also stretched slightly.

After Xu Anping let Xu Sier voluntarily surrender, he also kept an eye on the progress of the case, and after learning that Li Weiwei was taken into custody, he told He Xiaoxiao the news. He Xiaoxiao cried with joy when she heard this, and then asked what to do next. After a few perfunctory words, he returned to the Deng family, as if nothing had happened. At the beginning of the afternoon, Deng Xiaoke asked Huan'er to come to him to go out for a stroll together, as if he had not lost his temper at all a few days ago. Because the crisis of the Deng family was temporarily solved, Xu Anping was relaxed at this time, and he was willing to go out for a break to relieve the nerves that had been tense during this time. Walking on the road casually, looking at Deng Xiaoke's slender legs, narrow waist, and Na Na's figure in front of him, listening to her chirping, his heart was at peace. After a while, his mind wandered away. Drifted to Yujia Village. "Lian'er should be okay? I don't know if I have eaten a little more during this time? At this time, a shadow appeared in his sunny mood, Father Yu's revenge was not over yet, and he had to destroy the Blood Hand Alliance to avoid the resurgence of the other party. Xu Anping raised his head to look at the fine weather above him, clenched his fists, and his eyes fell on Deng Xiaoke who was walking in front again. "Well, this is also the person I want to protect!"
