Liu Yuan has already admitted that he is the mastermind of this matter, but everyone knows that he must be the only one behind the private salt, but as soon as he asks this, he is silent and uses silence to resist.

"Even for adults, you don't need to ask more, I did this matter alone, and it's up to you how to judge you." Liu Yuan closed his eyes as he spoke, looking unwilling to cooperate.

Si Ning frowned and looked at Liu Yuan who was kneeling in the hall, Liu Yuan had already explained the other crimes, according to the law of the Great Sign, he had to die, so why did he bite to death and not make it clear.

Unless that person is more terrible than death to Liu Yuan.

Li Su had already interrogated him earlier, and he had already seen him like this.

"Liu Yuan, you look back at the people who asked for your life behind you." Li Su looked at Liu Yuan coldly.

Liu Yuan's body stiffened when he heard this, and he didn't look back.

"As soon as this official entered Yinchuan, he heard that you have a good reputation of loving the people like a son, and after you were arrested, the people also spontaneously came to the yamen to cry out for you, cry out for grievances, and let the court let you go, let you be such a good official."

Liu Yuan looked up at Li Su, there was sarcasm and regret in Li Su's eyes, Liu Yuan's heart trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't say it." ”

"Liu Yuan, this official has investigated you, you are the champion of the 28th year of the Great Levy, and when you first entered the court, you vowed to be a person who serves the country and the people like Yan Zi.

The irony is that a good official who wants to love and protect the people has now become a corrupt official who cripples and harms the people. ”

Li Su's voice was cold, and there was no interesting irony in his voice, but every word pierced Liu Yuan's heart.

He looked at Liu Yuan with red eyes, "Shut up!" ”

He looked around the ministers in the hall, Jiang Ge and Lin Gong frowned and looked at Li Su, because of Lin Jingdan's matter, they were already annoyed, and when they saw a prisoner looking at them like this, they looked away in disgust.

is a disgusted look, like a drop of water dripping into a seemingly calm and waveless but already burned into a hot oil pot.

He sneered, first knelt on one knee, and then stood up in shackles, "What is a good officer?" What is a corrupt official?

The fact that you can sit in the hall and accuse me with such righteous words today is just because you have a good background. ”

Liu Yuan staggered back a step, a sarcastic smile on his face, "Champion? What a bullshit champion, one every three years, what's so strange about the champion.

You think I don't want to be a good official, but this thief world, it just likes to force a good official to become a corrupt official.

A good official, a good official, he is like grease in water, and without a strong background, he can only be squeezed out of the officialdom. ”

Emperor Jianzhang's face behind the screen was ugly, and Su Yumao behind him was also in a cold sweat at the moment, this Liu Yuan really didn't want to live.

What kind of thief is the way of the world, isn't this a turning around and scolding His Majesty for his bad governance.

Li Su was not led astray by Liu Yuan's sophistry, "You can't agree with these officials, and you are the only one who can determine your own future."

It's not that the world forces you to become, it's that you submit to the way of the world and change. ”

Liu Yuan listened to Li Su's words, and sat on the ground with a limp under his feet, obviously saying these words into his heart.

Looking at Liu Yuan, who was sitting on the ground in despair, everyone present had no sympathy for him, and the people who were guarding the yamen to listen to the trial looked at Liu Yuan at this moment and felt very strange.

They don't even have the anger of being deceived in their hearts, they just feel unbelievable and empty.

Liu Yuan's case is actually over here.

In this case, Liu Yuan is a "double-faced official" who is good at covering himself, pretending to be in front of people, with clean sleeves, dignified, loving and protecting the people, and indeed full of poisons and evil behind him.

The kind and simple ordinary people can only see his disguise, but they don't know how many hurtful and unreasonable things he has done behind his back.

After Liu Yuan was arrested, Mao Liu, who was locked in prison by him, naturally fell into the hands of Li Su.

The moment he saw the officers and soldiers, Mao Liu knew that the general trend was gone, so he quickly explained everything he knew.

It turned out that two years ago, that is, the second year when Liu Yuan came here as a thorn, in Wujia Village at the foot of Helan Mountain, the apprentices of Helan Mountain were barren, the rocks were bare, and there were no plants.

Wujia Village lives here and lives in poverty, and no one even wants to go to Wujia Village if they marry a daughter.

But later, there was a young man named Wu Guangxu in Wujia Village, who was bold and flexible, and had worked on the salt well before.

Later, he was injured and returned to the village, and after the injury was recovered, he took the young adults of the village to dig a salt well in the depths of Helan Mountain.

At first, there were few people, and they didn't plan to make it bigger, so they thought about getting some salt to eat themselves, and if there was more, they would take it into the city and sell it quietly, and they didn't think that they would not be able to sell it, after all, they had also bought private salt before.

The price of private salt is higher than that of official salt, and the people are eager to buy private salt.

What they didn't expect was that the salt well they dug was of good quality, and the output was higher than that of the imperial salt well that Wu Guangxu had done before.

At first, they only dared to sell a small amount of salt, but then they gradually became dissatisfied, and when they saw that no one found out after selling it for a long time, they became even more bold and began to sell illegal salt in large quantities.

As everyone knows, it is precisely because of this that they are targeted, Wu Guangxu is smart, but limited, the private salt on the boundary of Yinzhou suddenly gushed out, how could Liu Yuan, who is a thorn history, not notice it.

He specially sent people to pretend to buy illicit salt, and then secretly followed up to find out who they were and where the illicit salt came from.

Afraid of filming the officers and soldiers to fight the grass and startling the snake, so Liu Yuan explained the matter to his henchman butler, his housekeeper was already a lot older, so naturally it was impossible to go in person, and he also found someone, and that person was Mao Liu.

Mao Liu is his nickname, his name is Mao Zhuzi, he grew up in Yinchuan City since he was a child, and it is precisely because of this that the housekeeper found him.

Mao Liu really lived up to expectations, first pretending to be a buyer, and after the salt seller left, he quietly followed him, and just like that, Mao Liu discovered Wujia Village and the salt well in Helan Mountain.

He didn't have any fancy, and after the investigation, he directly told the housekeeper the news.

After the housekeeper told Liu Yuan the news, Liu Yuan wanted to arrest the people of Wujia Village immediately, but as soon as he got up, he slowly sat back again.

After dismissing the butler, he sat alone in his study all night.

The next day, he took a team of his cronies and quietly went to Wujia Village, which was not big, and the people inside were all flat-headed people, and they didn't dare to resist the soldiers with knives and Liu Yuan in official clothes.
