Luo Lingwei was in the middle of a trial, and not long later, the news spread throughout Fengyang County. In an instant, there were quite a few people gathered in the court. However, everyone was watching outside the court and didn't dare to take a step forward.

At this moment, everyone happened to bump into Liu Tong sitting on the backseat. At this time, Liu Tong's leg was already covered in five square bricks. He was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to scream.

"I admit it!" "I admit defeat!"

At this time, in the crowd, a county magistrate was already scared out of his wits. Trembling, he stood up and shouted towards Luo Lingwei.

At this moment, every single one of the officials present widened their eyes. Despair was written all over their faces. They knew that there were already people who could not stand such a terrifying scene and had chosen to confess.

Luo Lingwei nodded her head, "Do you have any more tricks?" If not, then this confessor will go to the side to record his confession. As for the rest, we will continue. According to the size of the official's position, after the official finishes his sentence, it will be you treacherous merchants! "

As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the audience started to clamor. One by one, they expressed that they were willing to confess.

At this moment, the Prefect and several other leaders knew that the situation had turned for the better, so they stopped struggling.

The case was tried until midnight, and everyone took five or six inkstones just to record their statements.

After everyone had recorded their statements and signed their names, Luo Lingwei ordered, "All these corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen will be put in jail."

With a single command, many people were sent to take these people away. Even though it was late in the night, the people outside the court were still squeezing and pushing. Until everyone saw Luo Lingwei take in all these corrupt officials, all of them applauded with joy!

However, even though Luo Lingwei had dealt with these corrupt officials, the victims were everywhere, and there were too many of them to manage. Therefore, in every county, Luo Lingwei would first let the locals elect a supervisor to temporarily take over the county's order.

After these profiteers had been dealt with, Luo Lingwei directly confiscated all the grain of those profiteers. Thus, these grains added together were more than enough to help the victims.

After about a month, the flood had finally subsided. In accordance to Luo Lingwei's instructions, the commoners wrote down the IOU that they needed to borrow from the government. After receiving a few taels of silver from each family, they returned to their homes to continue farming.

At this point, the people who had built the dikes were basically finished. From then on, it could be said that the East Li Manor's weather was smooth sailing. Even if there was a flood, it would be controlled by the dikes.

And because of this, Wu Song had been appointed to the position of Prefect of Eastern Li Prefecture by the imperial government. Meanwhile, his father, Censor Wu, although he was a worried person, he wandered around and was seriously ill. He had been recuperating in the countryside for more than a year and had only returned home now. When he returned home, he was very happy to see that his son had not yet taken the Imperial examinations and had been given the title of a local parent.

After that, within the borders of the Eastern Li Estate, there was a temple for women. There were no buddhas in the temple, only a beautiful woman holding a stunning tree. The two burly men next to him were glaring at him like tigers stalking their prey. One of them was wielding a treasured sword, while the other was holding a large number of judges.

Previously, Luo Lingwei did not know about this matter, but later on when she passed by the Eastern Li Manor and saw the temple that was offering her a statue, she could not help but roll her eyes.

And in this one month's time, Luo Lingwei had already brought Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Little Qing and Little White to Yanzhou. It was because when she left Fengyang County, she had overheard the locals talk about a suspicious looking person who looked like an old man. She didn't know if he was a victim or not, but he was basically the same as a beggar. Although this person was dressed in tattered clothes, his medical skills were quite outstanding. He had relied on his medical skills to get some food for himself. However, for some reason, he did not dare to stay in one place for long. From the looks of it, his brain wasn't too good, and he even said that someone wanted to kill him and silence him. Although the man was down and out, he had a beautiful multicolored piece of jade with a tiger carved on it. He looked very powerful.

As Luo Lingwei listened, although there were a few Multicolored Jade Crystals in the world, only one was carved into the shape of a tiger. This was Luo Tianhe's personal keepsake, and also the magic treasure that he had ordered his troops to use. Back then, Luo Tianhe had known that if these soldiers could be mobilized using the Emperor's Tiger Tally, it would be a problem for him. If someone were to rebel in the future, then his own life was more important, so he made this token himself.

However, this medallion had always been kept by Luo Tianhe. Why would it appear in the hands of this person?

Carrying a stomach full of questions, Luo Lingwei brought a few people to chase them all the way to Yanzhou. Although it was already the beginning of autumn and the autumn tigers had already arrived, the current Yanzhou was extremely cool and refreshing. Luo Lingwei brought everyone to inquire about this old man and arrived at Yan Zhou City. After staying at the inn in the city, Luo Lingwei instructed the shopkeeper to pay careful attention to this old man she was looking for. He then spread the news that all the people on the streets were keeping an eye on him. If they found him, they would hold him and wait for him to interrogate them.

As soon as Luo Lingwei arrived at Yan Zhou, the capital city fell into chaos. Because the news of the East Li Residence's disaster relief had reached the capital, the court had become furious. Even the imperial historians and the patrolmen had personally come to investigate the case, and twenty or thirty officials of various sizes had been arrested. All of them were petty officials who were greedy and greedy.

Therefore, in a fit of rage, Ye Lianhe used the emperor's decree to show all these corrupt officials to the public.

Once these people died, everyone in the world was scared silly. Ever since the founding of the Great Xuan Kingdom, there had never been a large scale case of corrupt officials.

But now, these people had been decapitated. All of a sudden, the people praised them and the officials were terrified. And the happiest ones were the ordinary High Scholars. Some of them were already in their forties, but they still hadn't been able to find a free job. Now that there was a vacancy, they all rode their huge horses to take up their duties. They were extremely happy.

And among them, how many of them were good officials with great abilities and how many were greedy officials who only wanted cards, it was unknown.

Just when such an unforeseen event was unfolding, Luo Lingwei and her group were actually admiring the flowers and stepping on the green leaves in Yan Zhou City.

The mountain and river climate of Yanzhou was simply too comfortable, causing people to be unable to return. Thus, Luo Lingwei accidentally stayed there for four to five days.

It was on this day that Luo Lingwei and her group returned from the outside of the city to admire the flowers. They saw a group of people carrying a dead body into the city, crying and sobbing.
