Above the lobby of the General's Mansion, Cao Ran sat at the top of the table. Soldiers were divided into two rows to guard the sides. In the center, Jiang Chengyun, the eldest son of the Jiang Mansion, was kneeling.

Ten days in prison made this elegant young man lose his glamorous appearance.

His meticulous hair was disheveled, and the expensive brocade robe on his body was replaced by a dirty prison uniform. The domineering look on his face also disappeared, replaced by caution and fear.

Cao Ran slapped the crowd in the lobby and scolded: "Jiang Chengyun said that you obtained the bloodthirsty dead snake venom from the Nanman people. Apart from that, what other collusion did you have?"

"Your Excellency, this is unjust. I didn't know they were Southern Barbarians at all. The poison that day was actually caused by my temporary fever."

Even now, Jiang Chengyun still wants to argue: "Those people deliberately approached me and lured me. I didn't check for a while, so I was taken advantage of."

"Still quibbling."

Cao Ran looked coldly and scolded: "You are responsible for the Jiang family's Qiuyue Boat Painting on the Laisi River. During the boat painting, guests often use psychedelic drugs that make people feel happy."

"Sir, this matter was investigated clearly last time. The Yu family recognized the wrong person and deliberately framed me."

"Pah!" Cao Ran slapped the crowd and shouted angrily: "Do you think I am someone who can fool others at will?"

"Last time, no one came to testify except the governor. But this time it is different."

As he said that, he threw down a piece of paper from the table and said coldly: "Look, these people are all people who have been to Qiuyue Painting Boat. How can there be any mistakes in the testimonies of so many people?"

The white paper fell lightly to the ground and happened to be spread out. It was densely covered with the names and red handprints of hundreds of people.

It turns out that these people are all regular visitors to Qiuyue Huafang and often go there, so they have been under the control of psychedelic drugs for a long time. They want to quit, but they can't get rid of them.

As a result, all the money they earned throughout the year was sent to Qiuyue Huafangjiang Chengyun.

They also have doubts and doubts in their hearts, and they are also full of resentment towards Jiang Chengyun. However, no one's body or spirit can get rid of drug dependence.

Since then, everyone has been trapped.

Not only did their money suffer, but their bodies were also tortured and worn out day by day and year by year, gradually being hollowed out and becoming more and more helpless.

When too many people wake up and want to escape, they finally hope for a miracle.

On the black market of medicinal materials, a drug called Shuxin Ningdan Pills is sold in large quantities. As long as you take a few pills, you can completely get rid of your dependence on previous drugs and strengthen your body.

These people rushed into the market like a swarm, queuing up to buy and take medicine every day. After half a month of conditioning, their bodies finally recovered.

The group of people who had recovered their bodies were completely furious.

Jiang Chengyun of Qiuyue Huafang had deceived them for so many years, and it was finally their turn to fight back.

So, these people gathered together and wrote a joint petition, listing the Jiang family and Jiang Chengyun's crimes one by one. Everyone signed and fingerprinted, and there was no ambiguity at all.

Jiang Chengyun stared at the lines of charges on the white paper, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "No, it's impossible

They...they are addicted to alcohol, and if others give them a little benefit, they will obey orders."

Jiang Chengyun knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "Sir General, you have been in Jiangcheng for many years, and you know very well what kind of people our Jiang family is. Every year, whether it is building new water conservancy projects or relieving victims, our Jiang family is always the first to rush in.

A person who has never slacked off."

"The Jiang family are natives of Jiangcheng. It is impossible for them to do anything to destroy the reputation of the Jiang family for some money, and it is even more impossible to collude with the Nanman people and risk the lives of the whole family."

Jiang Chengyun's face darkened, and he continued to quibble: "Master Cao, a trap, this must be a trap. Someone is watching our Jiang family's prosperity and wants to trap us."

He suddenly widened his eyes and said excitedly: "It must be Mo Yu."

"He came to Jiangcheng alone, and in just a few years, his family's wealth was comparable to that of other families."

"How can a powerless person achieve this? There must be a lot of tricks behind it?"

"Sir, please don't be deceived by his appearance. Please send someone to investigate this person thoroughly."

The more Jiang Chengyun talked, the more excited he became. He danced for a while, and his whole body was unusually excited.

In the inner room at the back of the lobby, a young man in a moon-white brocade robe was leaning against the table, his slender fingers resting on the teacup on the table.

The lid of the teacup is opened, and the aroma of tea lingers in the cup.

His index finger moved slowly along the rim of the tea cup.

Listening to Jiang Chengyun's hysterical calling outside, he paused with his fingers and gave Xiao Yong a look at him.

Xiao Yong bowed his hands and stepped back silently.

In the lobby, Jiang Chengyun still tried to argue, and a soldier came in carrying another person.

When Jiang Jiangcheng saw the visitor, his expression changed drastically, "Jia Liu, why were you arrested?"

Jia Liu was so frightened that he peed his pants and defended in a panic: "My eldest son, my subordinates don't know. I was walking on the street today when the officers and soldiers suddenly attacked me and arrested me."

He lay on the ground, trembling all over, and shouted to himself: "Master Cao, the common people are wronged. The common people really don't know what crime they have committed?"

"I don't know!" Cao Ran sneered, waved his hand, and the soldier brought another person and knelt on the ground.

"Zhang Xiaohua, tell me, who hijacked you and forced you to poison Luo Hong?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked indifferent, her eyes slowly turned around in the lobby and landed on Jia Liu, "It's him."

"You're talking nonsense!" Jia Liu denied, "I don't know you, girl, don't bite randomly."

"He was masked. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I recognized his voice. And..." Zhang Xiaohua's eyes fell on Jia Liu's right arm, "I didn't want to obey. During the struggle, I could clearly see his right arm.

There is a birthmark as big as a walnut on my wrist."

As soon as Zhang Xiaohua said these words, Jia Liu's expression changed drastically, and he stretched out his hand to grab his wrist.

Two soldiers took the opportunity to step forward and pulled up the sleeve of his right wrist, and a black birthmark jumped into his eyes.

"Bang!" As the gavel sounded, Cao Ran scolded: "Jia Liu, please be frank and lenient. Why do you want her to poison Luo Hong?"

“Grass people…Grass people…” Jia Liu stammered. The rapidly changing situation left him no time to react.

"Jiang Chengyun, I remember that when everyone was poisoned at Mr. Jiang's birthday party, Mr. Luo also went to celebrate his birthday. He has a good relationship with you, why did you suddenly silence him?"

"What silence?"

Jiang Chengyun stood up with all his strength, kicked Jia Liu on the body, and roared: "You treacherous slave. Why did you do such a sinful thing?"

"Master Luo has a close relationship with me, why do you want to kill him?"

He kicked Jia Liu out of his trance.
