Xu Mochen glanced at Tang Derun, who patted Li Guangbiao on the shoulder, then came over and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this person was originally one of the team leaders of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy."
Unexpectedly, he was still one of his own. Looking at his chubby face with oil on his face, Xu Mochen immediately stopped feeling disgusted.
As long as he is not a cultivator of immortality, he will be beautiful and delicious.
Li Guangbiao was also discerning. He recognized Tang Derun and knew that he was the manager of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, but he came over with documents from the Ministry of Punishment, followed by a young man.
There is only one person in Da Gan who can make him work in front of the saddle and behind the horse.
That's His Majesty's visit in person.
Li Guangbiao's attitude became more respectful: "Two adults, please come inside."
Xu Mochen nodded and took a step forward: "Li Siyu, if I want to see you, it will take some effort."
Sweat broke out on Li Guangbiao's forehead again: "Sir, this is because the official is not strict with his subordinates. I will rectify it tomorrow."
"You can get a glimpse of the judiciary from prison," Xu Mochen sighed, "A fallen leaf tells the world of autumn, that's what they say."
Li Guangbiao used to be a martial artist. He could fight and kill people, but he was confused when it came to the principles of governing a country.
But Tang Derun knew the power of it: "Please take a step-by-step approach."
Immortal cultivators are busy with their own interests and cultivating avenues to ascend, so they cannot manage the affairs of the court well.
But this is not a shortcoming that can be changed overnight.
Xu Mochen doesn't really care about his image as a foolish king.
Entering the prison, he took a glance and saw that everything was in tatters and in disarray.
It’s also easy to understand. The people in prison are all criminals. The cultivators don’t have to worry about it. No one gives instructions on what to do, so the people below just let it go.
After walking around a few places, there was still a decent room. Li Guangbiao invited the two of them in, Xu Mochen sat down, and Tang Derun stood with his hands down.
"Your Majesty!" Li Guangbiao, as a human being, it is common for him to act according to the wind and there is no one around him. He hurriedly saluted, "I wonder what your Majesty's purpose is when you come here."
"Since I recognized you, it means you have some luck," Xu Mochen smiled, "You are an exciting person who knows how to do things."
"You should never take the position of a lower official," Li Guangbiao shook his head like a rattle, "These are all based on the training of the former manager Tang."
Look, Xu Mochen just likes the human race and has a good service attitude.
Unlike those who cultivate immortality, they are always drawing their swords to open up magical caves.
He signaled, and Tang Derun stepped forward: "Go and secretly bring over the leader of the clan from the former Southern Wei Kingdom."
It turned out that he came to see the clan members of the subjugated country. Li Guangbiao was full of confusion, but this was the emperor's business, what could he say.
"Your Majesty, I will take care of it right away, your Majesty." He got up in a hurry and left quickly.
"Is this person reliable?" Xu Mochen narrowed his eyes, surrounded by powerful enemies, and he could not miss any small detail.
"It's not bad," Tang Derun nodded, "I made a lot of achievements in the Embroidery Envoy back then. Later, I felt that it was always beneficial to move the dead and live, and spread more branches and leaves in the court."
"Aiqing is right to think about it," Xu Mochen glanced at him, "Did you expect that sooner or later I would have problems with the immortal cultivators?"
"I don't dare," Tang Derun said hurriedly. "We think that His Majesty will dominate the world with his might and power. In the future, he will need talents from all walks of life to govern the great cadres and prosper."
Your Majesty, I have indeed come here to repay my kindness and sacrifice myself, and my loyalty can be demonstrated soon.
Xu Mochen was also very happy: "Don't worry, I know Aiqing's hard work.
I will tell you the truth, I have no intention of starting a war with Shifang World."
Tang Derun nodded yes.
Over there, Li Guangbiao quickly brought someone back.
This man limped in with chains on his body, making a clanging sound when walking, with ragged clothes and disheveled hair.
Xu Mochen's consciousness swept over and found that there were still many scars on his body, some of which only appeared recently.
He frowned slightly, while Li Guangbiao pushed the man to kneel down.
"Who are you from the clan of the former Southern Wei Kingdom?" Xu Mochen asked.
The man was lying on his knees and trembling all over. Li Guangbiao had no choice but to step forward and return: "He is the prince of the former Southern Wei Kingdom."
It turns out to be the prince, that is Gu Jinge’s uncle.
But at this time, Gu Jinge cannot be moved out easily.
"Do you have any grievances to say?" Xu Mochen leaned over and looked at the man.
When the man heard this, he trembled even more, and then kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, the sinner has no... no grievance."
Xu Mochen glanced at Tang Derun, who stepped forward and said, "This is a gentleman from the Ministry of Punishment, here specifically to express grievances. If you have anything, feel free to speak out."
"No," the man trembled and trembled, "Your Majesty, the sinner does not have any grievance."
"So, is it true that he had an affair with the minister and intended to rebel?" Tang Derun raised his voice.
"The sinner is willing to plead guilty and only asks for the life of the sinner and his family." He kowtows desperately again.
We have reached a deadlock, and even the emperor has no choice but to admit that he is guilty.
"Did they beat you or intimidate you?" Xu Mochen was unwilling to give in.
As soon as these words came out, Li Guangbiao started sweating again.
"No...nothing..." The man kept shaking his head, "It's the sinner's fault, the adults are not at fault."
He kept saying these few words back and forth, and he looked a little confused.
Xu Mochen turned to Li Guangbiao: "Do you know why this is like this?"
"Your Majesty," Li Guangbiao's heart skipped a beat. What was supposed to come will come again. "When I came to find him, I read the records. It is true that after a period of time, the master of Dali Temple will interrogate him again."
As he spoke, he hesitated to speak.
"I forgive your innocence," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "Say what you have to say."
"This is a commonly used method," Li Guangbiao wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Prisoners who have been wronged are brought to trial and said they want to overturn the case. After the prisoner complains about his injustice, he is beaten severely.
Going back and forth like this, every time I go out with the hope of clearing my grievances, and every time I come back with a severe beating, it is like eroding the hope in the prisoner's heart little by little.
Over time, people become numb, and no matter what others say, they always think that they are guilty."
Xu Mochen slapped his palm on the table: "It's unreasonable to put the country's laws in such a way. It's such a good trick. It's such a devilish trick."
I always thought that the world was bright and clear, but I never thought there was such a dark place.
"But what did the Minister of Dali Temple do?" He pointed his sword at the vital point.
Li Guangbiao murmured: "The official position is low, so I don't know much about this matter for adults."
Although I didn't get an accurate answer, Xu Mochen probably had an idea.
At this point, it seems impossible to break through from the prisoner.
He had no choice but to ask Li Guangbiao to take the person back.
After leaving the prison and returning to the imperial study, Xu Mochen gradually eliminated the dark feeling.
After calming down, he began to analyze.
With so much commotion in Ningzhou, Gu Jinge's matter may not be able to be hidden from the immortal cultivators in the court.
If you know that you may investigate this matter when you return, will the other party make preparations in advance?
