It wasn't until Li Zhi returned to Guangzhou City and personally found Dang Renhong and asked him to participate in the case, that Dang Renhong knew Li Zhi's actions in shock.

After a period of panic, he said to Li Zhi with an angry face: "Your Highness has ever considered the feelings of the old minister when acting like this? ”

Li Zhi said: "The party lord is angry for the time being, and this king has just received reports from many people and knows that the situation is serious, so he didn't have time to think about it in a hurry. ”

Dang Renhong said: "Even if someone reports His Highness, how can he arrest people at will without investigation? ”

Li Zhi said: "The party lord and relax, now the person who reported it has been completely controlled by this king, but if there is a false accusation, this king will severely punish it." ”

After hearing this, Dang Renhong couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

Li Zhi's words were obviously telling him that at this time, the physical evidence was already certified.

That is, the interrogation that is about to begin may just be a formality.

Immediately after that, Dang Renhong immediately thought of an even more terrifying possibility.

That is, Li Zhi is likely to pursue this matter to the end.

Dang Renhong immediately broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this.

No one knows the level of corruption of Canton officials better than him.

He knows what the outcome of the investigation will mean.

Thinking of that terrible result, Dang Renhong's face suddenly turned pale.

Immediately after him, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Your Highness has vigorously investigated and dealt with the officials in Guangzhou City without consulting with this official, so how will this official face his colleagues in the future?" ”

His voice was loud, and the purpose was to inform the people in the Governor's Mansion to hurry up and spread the news.

At this time, he really had a murderous intent, and was ready to mobilize the more than 10,000 government soldiers to rebel together.

All the generals in the army have followed him for many years.

None of these people's hands and feet were clean.

As long as they get the news, they will definitely rush back to Guangzhou City desperately.

Dang Renhong's idea is very good.

However, he seriously underestimated Li Zhi's mind.

At this time, the entire Governor's Mansion was under the watchful eye of the Dragoons.

No one should want to leave here easily.

After Li Zhi heard Dang Renhong's words, he said: "There is no need for the party to be so excited, this king is also thinking about the adults." ”

Dang Renhong said angrily: "If Your Highness doesn't tell you, how can you think about your own officials?" ”

Li Zhidao: "As the head of one party, the party should take the initiative to avoid suspicion, wouldn't this king save the adults from embarrassment?" ”

Dang Renhong snorted coldly: "In this case, this official should not participate in the judgment of the case. ”

Speaking of this, he bowed his hand to Li Zhi and said: "This official will retire here, so as not to be suspected of interfering with the verdict of the case." ”

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave the governor's mansion.

Li Zhi said behind him: "Even if the party lord does not participate in the judgment of the case, I am afraid that he should not leave the Governor's Mansion at this time!" ”

Dang Renhong paused after hearing this.

He turned his back to Li Zhi and said angrily: "Your Highness, does your Highness really suspect that this official will deliberately show favoritism? ”

Li Zhidao: "This king is not suspicious of the party, everything is just handled in accordance with the procedure." ”

Dang Renhong took a deep breath and said, "What if this official wants to leave?" ”

Li Zhidao: "The party members can give it a try, and they will naturally know what the result will be." ”

Dang Renhong was shocked and angry at this time.

He didn't expect Li Zhi to be so resolute in doing things, and he didn't leave him a little affection at all.

He stood there and took several deep breaths, but finally didn't dare to try it himself.

After a while, Dang Renhong turned to Li Zhi and asked, "When His Royal Highness tried the case, it was not an exaggeration for this official to be an observer. ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Of course, this king originally came to invite the party adults to try it together. ”

As the two spoke, the dragoons had brought all the prisoners and witnesses.

Just wait for Li Zhi's order to start the trial.

After Li Zhi invited Dang Renhong to sit down, he immediately picked up a file and read it.

After a while, he spoke: "Bring the prisoner Qin Liang up." ”

Xue Li, who was standing on the side, shouted loudly: "Take someone to the court, Qin Liang..."

Soon after the words fell, a prisoner dressed as a small official was brought up.

He was now weak, and could only be dragged forward by two dragoon warriors.

As soon as the dragoon warrior let go of his hand when he came to the front of the hall, the man collapsed to the ground.

Then, without waiting for Li Zhi to ask, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

I only heard him kowtow and say, "Your Highness spares your life!" The villain will never dare again. ”

Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this.

He couldn't have imagined that the first person he had brought to trial would behave like this.

So he pretended to be serious and picked up the shocking wood on the table and slammed it hard.

It's a pity that I couldn't control the strength this time, so the sound was louder.

Not only did Qin Liang, who was kneeling below, tremble, but even Dang Renhong on the side was startled.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Li Zhi deliberately asked with anger on his face, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

Qin Liang was stunned for a moment when he asked this question, and thought: Shouldn't you call my name directly?

However, he also replied honestly: "His Royal Highness Qiqi's villain is Qin Liang, a small official of the Municipal Supervision Bureau. ”

The Superintendent is responsible for supervising transactions, harmonizing weights and measures, and determining the quality of goods.

Although they do not have the power to set prices, they can influence prices by evaluating the quality of goods.

As a result, corruption can easily breed.

After listening to Qin Liang's answer, Li Zhi continued to ask, "What crime did you commit?" Why don't you tell the truth? ”

I only heard Qin Liang tell all his crimes like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

This includes accepting bribes, forcing people to buy and sell, and helping merchants to counterfeit and shoddy products.

Li Zhi held Qin Liang's dossier in his hand and compared them one by one.

These were collected by the Dragoons.

There is also Liu An next to him recording Qin Liang's own confession one by one.

In the end, Li Zhi found that Qin Liang had committed several more crimes than the dragoons had collected.

The most important thing is that even so, Qin Liang did not admit that he was guilty of bribing his superiors.

This made Li Zhi angry.

What he needs is Qin Liang's confession of bribing his superiors, otherwise how can he go up and investigate?

So after Qin Liang stopped talking, Li Zhi immediately fell again.

After startling Qin Liang again, Li Zhi opened his mouth and asked: "Dare Qin Liang still dare to hide something from this matter, do you think that this king will not dare to torture you?" ”

Qin Liang hurriedly spoke: "Your Highness spares your life, the villain has already said what he should say, and he really has not concealed it at all!" ”

Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "You still dare to quibble with me, why didn't you say anything about bribing the officials?" ”

Li Zhi's words are completely unfounded.

However, his expression was quite realistic, as if he really had evidence of Qin Liang's bribery in his hands.

At this time, even Dang Renhong, who was sitting on the side, was deceived by his performance.

Not to mention Qin Liang, who was already scared to pee.

So this unlucky coward really didn't wait for Li Zhi to torture him, and he opened his mouth to denounce his boss.

What surprised Li Zhi the most was that this guy actually hid a bribery record.
