The county commander cried with tears and begged, he thought that Chen Mu had arrested him because he realized that he wanted to embezzle those silver coins.

Seeing him like this, Chen Mu sneered.

He glanced at the Qingcheng County Order, and when the county order saw this, he immediately retreated, and Chen Mu walked to the door of the dungeon.

"When the Qingcheng County Commander interrogated you just now, he should have told you, what is the reason I want to ask?"

"It's related to the hoarding of grain and raising prices, and you unite with those people from the merchant family to do something about grain."

"I didn't think at all that the purpose of my people transporting those grains from the small cities in the north to the small cities in the south was to use those grains to help the people who had suffered from natural disasters."

"But you took the grain into your own hands and did not sell it."

The county commander's eyes moved, and he immediately looked up in Chen Mu's direction, and he shook his head again and again.

"But I only know that the merchants have been stockpiling grain recently, but I don't know what their intentions are."

"I haven't teamed up with them either, please let me go, my lord, I've only been in close contact with those merchants recently, and I don't know their plans at all."

Chen Mu laughed, and when the county magistrate saw this, he wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.

Are you about to go on and say something? When he saw Chen Mu, he threw out a stack of letters, all of which were found in the secret compartment of the county order's study.

They are all letters left by the prefectural order and those merchant families during the conspiracy.

These letters were not destroyed because he remembered that he would use them to blackmail those people from the merchant family to his own benefit in the future.

As a result, he didn't expect it......

After all, it's careless.

The county commander looked up at Chen Mu, and when he saw Chen Mu staring at him with heavy eyes, the county magistrate shuddered violently and bowed down again and again.

He had to admit to hoarding grain and raising prices, and he cried and only said that he was greedy for a moment.

said that the benefits given to him by those merchants were too rich, and he couldn't help but help those people suppress the news.

Chen Mu waited for the county order to finish crying, and then collected his voice, and then asked about the two imprisoned officials of the Ministry of Commerce.

The county commander's face froze, and he noticed that Chen Mu was looking up at him, and he hurriedly spoke.

"My lord, I don't know where those two shop officials are being held, I heard that those two officials were sent to the cottage by those merchants."

"Most likely it was the copycat bandits who imprisoned those two officials."

At this juncture, he actually intended to pull the mountain bandits of the cottage into the water, Chen Mu frowned, he knew what the purpose of this county order was.

It's just that he suspected that the mountain bandit leaked the news and caused him to be arrested, so he wanted to take revenge on the mountain bandit.

Is this county order to be a vegetarian?

Chen Mu rolled his eyes and told the county order that he had asked about the detention of the two officials of the Ministry of Commerce from the merchant account.

The county commander's eyes moved, and he knew that the matter had reached this point, and he would not be able to blame the mountain bandits for this matter.

He took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"I didn't expect you to guess that those two officials were locked up by me, and they were locked up by me in a deserted temple not far from our city."

"The barren temple is located, deep in the mountains and old forests, I ordered people to take care of them, and I didn't treat them harshly."

"If you find them...... Can it be for the sake of the matter that I admit......"

"Dreaming."

If he hadn't come up with evidence to prove that the other party had falsehoods, it would have been impossible for the county order to admit that he had detained the two officials of the Ministry of Commerce.

Chen Mu waved his hand at the official guarding the door, and then turned to leave.

This county order was guilty of a felony, not only uniting with the local merchant family to manipulate prices, but also arresting two officials of the Ministry of Commerce.

"Behead it for public display, if you don't punish it heavily, it will be difficult to serve as a warning."

gave an order to the Qingcheng county order, and the county order's eyelids jumped, and he nodded in response, he was a little hesitant.

"My lord, should I come forward and have the county magistrate directly taken to the entrance of the vegetable market to be beheaded? In the past, these things were handled by officials of the Criminal Department. ”

"You sent someone to escort him to behead, but you don't have to wait for the officials of the Criminal Department to come, this place is too far from the capital."

Seeing Chen Mu's order, the county order responded.

Chen Mu withdrew from the dungeon, and the Qingcheng county order went deep into the dungeon and told the arrested county commander about it.

The arrested county commander was so frightened that he couldn't stop begging for mercy, but he couldn't get the mercy of Chen Mu and the Qingcheng county magistrate.

Deep in the mountains and in the deserted temple.

The two adults sat in the corner, looking at the officials who were sent by the county to guard them, as they wandered around in front of them.

These officials looked impatient, they had already sent people to the city to inquire about the situation, and it had been a day, and no one had brought food to these two officials.

They don't know if the county magistrate has made up his mind to starve the two officials to death, or if the magistrate has forgotten to deal with these two officials because of other matters.

"If you just forgot to deliver food, you shouldn't forget us, I always feel that things are not that simple, have they come back?"

One of the officials asked the man standing at the door, and the man standing at the door shook his head silently, and the officer frowned with some distress.

Seeing this, the two officials of the Ministry of Commerce looked at each other, their eyes flickering, and one of them stepped forward and was about to say something, when he saw a servant striding in his direction.

The officer flinched in fright, and the officer walked up to them, raised his fist impatiently, and struck in the direction of one of them.

This is going to use the two of them to get angry!

The official screamed in fright, and immediately curled up, seeing that his fist had fallen.

The next moment, the door of the deserted temple was knocked open.

Lord Ye led people to rush into the temple.

Seeing the two adults sitting by the wall, and seeing that the two adults were safe and sound, but they were a little thinner, Lord Ye nodded reassuringly.

The two officials also recognized Lord Ye, their eyes widened sharply, and they immediately wailed.

"Lord Ye, are you here to save us? But it's wonderful, if you come a few days later, we'll starve to death in this temple, and the person who captured us is a county magistrate. ”

"He united several county officials to raise the price of grain, and we know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not allow county officials and people from the merchant family to do so."

"I wanted to send this news to the capital, but the county commander and the people of those families saw our plan and arrested us."

They were busy telling Lord Ye what had happened, and Lord Ye nodded silently, sighed leisurely, and felt a little helpless.

"You should go back to the capital first, and then report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after you arrive in the capital."

In the capital, these two adults also have family power behind them.

Even if someone has their eye on them, it is not so easy to try to do something to them.
