Under the gaze of everyone, three middle-aged men were taken to the court and knelt side by side in front of the hall, among them was Shi An, the person on the left was pot-bellied, named Liu Ming, and the person on the right was of medium stature and was named Gu Manfu. I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry?

Liu Ming is a tea merchant in Jiaxing Mansion, Zhejiang, and has a tea house in the Baishui Town trading market, and was extorted by the Chen family's subordinates for 3,000 taels of silver, saying that he congratulated Chen Ningning on being pregnant, otherwise Li Yuntian would be very unhappy.

Not only that, but the people of the Chen family also wanted to forcibly buy his high-quality tea, which made Liu Ming desperate now, so he had to come to sue.

Gu Manfu was a jade merchant in Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, and in the first half of the year, he once gave Zheng Wanrou two thousand taels of silver tickets, hoping to do business on Li Yuntian's line like Shi An.

But in the end, Li Yuntian ignored this matter, the jade he entered was not sold, all of them were smashed in his hands, and now there is still a lot of money owed outside.

According to their statement, Li Yuntian accepted a total of 10,000 taels of bribes, which was an out-and-out case of embezzlement of ink.

Especially Liu Ming, who cried with a handful of snot and tears in the lobby, said that he had pressed all his family property in the tea house, and he still owed a debt when he bought the goods, and if the Chen family annexed the tea house, then his family would only have to drink the northwest wind, and there would be only one death.

This made the people outside the lobby couldn't help but be infected, and they subconsciously sympathized with Liu Ming in their hearts.

After interrogating Shi An and the others, Cui Hui asked Li Yuntian to come up, and the crowd in the courtyard suddenly had a small commotion, and they all stretched their necks to look at him.

Since Li Yuntian was arrested during the trial of Chunhua's case yesterday, he was still wearing an official robe, standing proudly in front of the hall and glaring coldly at Cui Hui.

"Li Zhixian, do you know them?" Cui Hui was very uncomfortable by Li Yuntian's sharp eyes, so he sneered, stretched out his hand and pointed at the three Shi An who were kneeling beside him, and asked in a deep voice, he wanted to see how long Li Yuntian could be arrogant.

"Xia Guan remembers them, they are merchants who have come to Whitewater Town to do business." Li Yuntian glanced at Shi An and the others, frowned slightly, and replied quietly.

"I heard that Li Zhixian is busy with official business, why can he remember people who only have a few faces, is there any secret in this?" Cui Hui originally denied that Li Yuntian had seen Liu Ming and Gu Manfu, but he didn't expect him to generously accept it and asked coldly.

"Lord Patrol, once the memory of the subordinate official is very good, as long as the people who have met him can usually write it down." Li Yuntian knew that Cui Hui had something to say, and replied expressionlessly.

"It can't be that there is a ghost in the heart!" Cui Hui sneered when he heard this, and felt that Li Yuntian's explanation was too far-fetched, it might be Li Yuntian's psychological warfare, there were so many businessmen in Baishui Town, how could Li Yuntian remember Shi An and the others who had only met one or two sides.

"Patrol your lord, there are no wonders in the world, and the lower officials just have a better memory than ordinary people, which is normal." Li Yuntian ignored Cui Hui's ridicule and replied sternly, there was no need for him to quarrel with Cui Hui.

"Li Zhixian, the three of them testified that your concubine accepted bribes, do you know?" Cui Hui saw that Li Yuntian was calmly responding, and knew that he couldn't provoke Li Yuntian with words, so he changed his tone and asked coldly.

"The lower official doesn't know about bribery, but the lower official can guarantee it with the black yarn on his head, and the concubine of the lower official will never do such a thing." Li Yuntian glanced at the three Shi An who were kneeling beside him, and replied loudly.

"Hmph, if you do this kind of thing, will Wusha still be able to keep it?" Cui Hui saw Li Yuntian's sworn look, and said with a sneer, "If this patrol finds out that your concubine really accepted bribes, then you want to get out, but it's wishful thinking!" ”

"Come, bring the prisoners." As he spoke, Cui Hui shouted at the audience.

Soon, Lu Calyx was taken to the court by two servants who patrolled the Imperial History Yamen, and seeing that Li Yuntian was safe and sound, he couldn't help but show a relaxed look on his face.

Since she was deceived into coming to Ruichang County, Lu Cao has been imprisoned, she doesn't know what happened, she is very worried about Li Yuntian's safety, and now she is relieved to see that he is fine.

After coming to Li Yuntian, an errand kicked the calf of the green calyx, and the green calyx fell to his knees with a thud.

"You bastard, don't you know she's pregnant!" Seeing this, Li Yuntian's eyes flashed, and he grabbed the errand by the neck and lifted him up stiffly, causing the officer's face to turn red in an instant, and his hands slapped Li Yuntian's iron-like arm a little weakly.

Li Yuntian is a northerner, he was born with a burly body, and he has been keeping fit since he fell into the water and sobered up, and now he has not only gained a lot of weight, but also has a strong force, and he is no longer the weak scholar he was two years ago.

The other officer was stunned for a moment, brushed the ground and pulled out his waist knife and aimed it at Li Yuntian, his expression was a little nervous, and in his impression, no one dared to be rude to the people who patrolled the imperial history yamen in the public court.

Seeing this, there was a commotion inside and outside the lobby, and no one thought that Li Yuntian would make such an astonishing move.

A smug smile flashed at the corner of Cui Hui's mouth, he deliberately ordered the messenger to kick the green calyx on his knees, the purpose was to provoke Li Yuntian, now it seems that the effect is good, Li Yuntian seems to love that delicate concubine very much.

At the same time, in an inn in Ruichang County.

Zhou Yuting paced back and forth in the room restlessly, she tried to see Cui Hui after Li Yuntian's accident yesterday, but she was blocked, even today's court trial Cui Hui specially explained that the guards guarding the door did not allow her to observe, so as not to interfere with the handling of the case.

Although Zhou Yuting was worried about Li Yuntian in her heart, and she wanted to snatch him out of the place where he was imprisoned, she knew that patrolling the Imperial History on behalf of the heavens was a veritable minister, and if she did that, she would be in a big disaster.

If Zhou Yuting was in the past, it would be absolutely chaotic, but after being with Li Yuntian for so long, she had more or less grown up, knowing that messing around would only make Li Yuntian's situation even more worrisome, and she would also fold herself in, so that no one would be able to save Li Yuntian.

"Miss, someone is here." The door was suddenly pushed open, and Xue'er walked in quickly, followed by Luo Ming, who was sweating profusely, carrying a big burden on her back.

"Quick, change this girl's clothes!" Zhou Yuting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this, and told Xue'er repeatedly.

The county hall hall.

"Master, the concubine is fine." Seeing that Li Yuntian was angry, Lu Cao hurriedly reached out and pulled his trouser legs, and said with a concerned expression.

"Li Zhixian, don't be impulsive, you have something to say." Qi Wanlong also opened his mouth to persuade Li Yuntian, and he was very ashamed of Cui Hui's personality in his heart, and it was obvious that Cui Hui was using the green calyx to hit Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian's affection gradually stabilized, and he let go of the struggling officer, who fell to the ground and covered his neck with his hands and breathed heavily, he was almost strangled to death by Li Yuntian just now.

"Chen, this patrol press asks you, someone has testified that you received five thousand taels of silver tickets, what do you have to say?" Cui Hui waved his hand, and the limp officer was carried away, and he looked at the green calyx quietly.

The surname of the green calyx is Chen, and she did not have a name when she was a child, but she was later sold into the Li family and was named "Green Calyx", and her name registered in the concubine book of the government and the Li family tree is "Chen Green Calyx", but usually people call her "Green Calyx".

"Your Excellency, the women have never seen so many silver tickets since they came to Hukou County." Green Calyx shook her head, denying the testimony against her.

"Do you know this person?" Hearing this, Cui Hui stretched out his hand and pointed at Shi An, who was kneeling there, and asked in a deep voice.

"It's déjà vu, the woman can't remember where she's seen him." Green Calyx looked at Shi An, and Liu Mei frowned slightly, feeling as if he had seen Shi An there.

"Second lady, you have to speak with conscience, the little one handed over five thousand taels of silver tickets to you in the embroidery village half a year ago, and you promised Li Zhixian that he would help the small one contact the buyer to sell the goods, and now those goods are backlogged in the warehouse, and you don't push the five thousand taels to the small one to let the small one save the emergency, and the small one really has no other way than to sue the small one."

As soon as the green calyx's words fell, Shi An shouted loudly, with a sad face, looking very helpless, as if the green calyx had forced him into a desperate situation.

The people in the courtyard couldn't help but stir again when they saw Shi An's pitiful appearance, which made Li Yuntian's brows frown slightly, it seems that Cui Hui wants to use these fabricated charges to ruin his reputation, you must know that people's words are terrible, and they will be ruined.

"Lord Patrol, the women may have seen him in the embroidery village, but she has never accepted any bribes." Seeing that Shi An had framed himself like this, Lu Cao's face changed, and he defended himself to Cui Hui in a coquettish voice.

"This patrol has already sent someone to check, and his warehouse is indeed full of unsold cloth." Cui Hui sneered, then waved his hand, and an errand officer who patrolled the Imperial History Yamen took an account book and threw it on the ground in front of the green calyx.

"Take a good look, the purchase volume recorded on it suddenly increased greatly after you met in the embroidery village, do you think this is a coincidence?" Cui Hui looked at the green calyx expressionlessly and asked sharply.

"My lord, the woman doesn't know anything about business, I don't know why he did it." Green Calyx didn't expect that the other party actually prepared the account book for the purchase, and was suddenly taken aback in her heart, and after looking at it, she found that the purchase volume suddenly increased in one day, so she put the account book on the ground and replied with a somewhat flustered expression, she realized that things were much more complicated than she thought.

"Hmph, there are all human and material evidence, and you dare to quibble, it's just stubborn!" Cui Hui suddenly sneered when he heard this, and after slapping the startled wood hard, he reached out and took out a order from the lottery holder on the table and threw it on the ground in front of the hall, and said in a cold tone, "Someone, wait for the stick!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yuntian was immediately shocked, the green calyx is now a critical period for the fetus, how can he withstand the pain of ten fingers connected to the heart!

The green calyx's face also changed, and she reached out and subconsciously touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen, her eyes showed a look of horror, how could she be tortured at this time? One
