Chapter 471 Regent Prince's Anger (2)
"He accidentally beat the father to death, but also their only son? By compensation, you mean making it impossible for the family to live in the capital and having to move away? Official Lu, you can go to the Zhao Prison to explain to a certain Father Li!"
This time, Gong Cheng's gaze turned dark as well. He didn't really want to kill them all, but the fact that these people had done such atrocious deeds and claimed that Mo'er was inauspicious made him furious. They should go to the Zhao Prison and suffer a bit!
Therefore, he waved his hands and someone immediately arrested and took Official Lu down.
The moment Gong Jue made his move, everyone present shivered from fear.
For the past year or so, Gong Jue rarely made an appearance because he was busy with the money farm. Therefore, Zhao Prison was just there for looks.
That honest-looking old man didn't expect for Gong Jue to call him. After all, in everyone's eyes, he was an honest and uncorrupted man. He had never been bribed nor did he bully the common people!
Therefore, he greeted Gong Jue seemingly with a clear conscience.
"This official is here."
Gong Jue smiled at him, but the dark gaze in his eyes made people shiver.
"This official remembers that you came from a poor background, right? Do you still remember how you obtained the silver taels for you to take the exam in the capital?"
Official Liu's aged face revealed shock. He didn't expect Gong Jue to figure this out either!
For a moment, he panicked. His palms were drenched in sweat, but he still felt a sense of hope.
He said in a low voice, "P-prince... you can get straight to the point."
Gong Jue lightly lifted his brows and slowly said, "You came from the countryside, living in the village of a person that had passed the imperial exam. Your parents had died when you were young, and you were poor. The family income came from your child bride, Madam Zhao. After that, you made progress in your studies and wanted to enter the city to take the exam. However, you had no income. In the end, it was your wife, Madam Zhao, who had concealed her identity and sold herself to a brothel. Thus, you got your first travel expenses. Do you still remember this?"
