Hearing this, Wang Zhe frowned deeply and asked seriously: "Master Jiang, what exactly is going on?"

Before Jiang Mingyu could answer, Huang Chaoran said quickly, "Lord Governor, isn't this obvious?"

"He, an imperial envoy, relied on the emperor's favor to be here for just a few days, and yet he treated human life with such carelessness. Who gave you the right?"

"Should the governor just let the people be killed for no reason? He simply wants to trample on the laws of Da Fengguo!"

"I think it's because you saw that Shangmu County is poor and there is no place to make money, so you set your sights on my father-in-law's family."

"My father-in-law refused to submit, so he deliberately found an excuse and acted cruelly."

"Later, he sold my father-in-law's house. This is proof! Where did he take the money? You should tell me!"

"If you dare to lie even half a word, not only will the governor not be able to spare him, I will also let him see what it means to be a mountain of national law!"

Jiang Mingyu smiled calmly: "The deaths of He Dachuan and his son are just what they deserve."

Huang Chaoran was furious and his face turned red: "Jiang Mingyu, you are so presumptuous! Lord Governor, please don't listen to his nonsense!"

"My father-in-law's family, although they are squires from Shangmu County, are well-known in Asmodeus. In every year of famine, they will reduce or reduce rents and taxes for the tenants and provide rice and porridge to the poor people."

"Even when foreigners invaded, my father-in-law risked his life and spent money and effort to build a city wall to protect Shangmu County."

"To put it bluntly, without the contribution of my father-in-law's family, I am afraid that Shangmu County would have fallen long ago!"

"Such a great kind man was imprisoned for no reason by a villain like Jiang Mingyu and died miserably on a barren mountain!"

"Jiang Mingyu, what else do you have to defend?"

Huang Chaoran was so angry that he was trembling all over and almost rushed forward to strangle Jiang Mingyu's neck.

Jiang Mingyu looked coldly at Huang Chaoran's face, which was twisted with excitement, silently cursing in his heart that this fat man was so thick-skinned.

He said in a deep voice: "Huang Changshi, you said it well. Jiang really didn't expect that the evil man He Dachuan would turn out to be a good person in your mouth."

"Are you still going to say that if there were no He family, the entire Fengguo country would have to change its surname? I really cannot agree with this nonsense."

Jiang Mingyu spoke with sarcasm in every word. He understood that if he wanted to stabilize the situation, he could not let Huang Chaoran succeed.

Huang Chaoran still looked angry: "Jiang Mingyu, don't talk nonsense here. How did my father-in-law and his father-in-law die?"

"Which law did they break before you would shamelessly arrest them and send them to jail?"

"Who else gave you the courage to send my father-in-law and my father-in-law to hard labor in the barren mountains, where they died violently?"

After saying that, Huang Chaoran put on a pitiful look again and said plaintively to Wang Zhe: "Master Governor, my father-in-law is really unjust."

"They have abided by the law all their lives and paid taxes every year, but they suffered this bad fate, which is heartbreaking."

"Please, Lord Governor, bring this murderer to justice and bring justice to the kind people!"

Seeing Huang Chaoran bursting into tears, Wang Zhe's brows furrowed even deeper: "Master Jiang, it's your turn to explain clearly."

"I'm telling you up front, if you are really guilty of murder and arson, even if you are the Emperor's personal accomplice, I will never be lenient."

Seeing that Wang Zhe was still hesitating, Huang Chaoran couldn't bear it anymore: "Master Governor, what else do you have to ask? Jiang Mingyu committed murder and arson. The evidence is conclusive. Just put him in jail and execute him immediately!"

"Do you really believe that he will tell the truth? This is simply a joke!"

Jiang Mingyu smiled faintly: "Master Governor, it seems that Huang Changshi still has something to say. Why don't we let him finish his words first. When he gets angry, I will come back to explain the whole story to you. Let's take our time."

Huang Chaoran, who was already angry, became furious: "Master Governor, look at his attitude!"

Wang Zhe had a dark face, glared at him with disgust, and growled: "Shut up!"

Seeing Huang Chaoran shrinking his neck, Wang Zhe let out a sigh of relief: "Master Jiang, please tell me."

Huang Chaoran stared at Jiang Mingyu coldly, thinking, let me see what else you can say?

Jiang Mingyu smiled faintly and said slowly: "Yes, I personally captured He Dachuan and his son, and I also sent them to Qinglong Village to dig coal, and they did die there and were beaten to death."

"

Huang Chaoran's eyes widened: "Sir, he recognized it himself, why don't you hurry up and take it down!"

Seeing Wang Zhe's face become gloomy again, Huang Chaoran shut his mouth again, like a quail.

Jiang Mingyu sneered and said, "Let's talk about He Dachuan first. This person has been evading taxes in Shangmu County for many years. The account books are all there and can be verified."

"Not only that, he also brought people to threaten me for a few carts of coal, saying that if I didn't give him coal, he would find foreigners to enter the city and get rid of me.

""Master Murong and Master Tu have both seen this matter, and the remaining squires can also prove it."

Jiang Mingyu recounted the story in detail, and Huang Chaoran's face became increasingly ugly.

Jiang Mingyu smiled secretly in his heart, do you think I am a fuel-efficient lamp? I have been prepared for it.

Huang Chaoran finally couldn't help but said: "What a yamen squire, don't their opinions depend on your face?"

Jiang Mingyu sneered and said: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Shangmu County to investigate. If even half of what I said is untrue, I will pay for my life in Dachuan."

"Then again, if what I tell you is entirely true, what will happen to Master Changshi?"

"I have come here with an order. Your Majesty's face cannot be trampled upon by anyone."

Huang Chaoran's face was suffocated, and he said dryly: "Even so, my father-in-law's words are just a joke, and the crime is not punishable by death, right?"

Jiang Mingyu's eyes shone coldly and said, "Joking? Mr. Chang Shi is really humorous."

"Is it possible that we have to wait for the foreigners to invade Shangmu County to see if He Dachuan's so-called joke comes true?"

"Are you satisfied until my head is hung on the city gate?"

"By the way, there is also your bastard brother-in-law He Muchen. He not only robbed women in the street, but also beat up his own officials."

"What's worse is that He Dachuan wants to sell the woman to a brothel for money. The housekeeper He Shang can prove it."

"I saw these things with my own eyes, how can I fabricate them?"

"This is what Chang Shi calls a good citizen, a great philanthropist? Giving out rice and porridge is simply nonsense!"

"Don't say that the coal diggers beat them to death, even if they were beaten into minced meat, it would be excusable."

Jiang Mingyu's tone was calm, but his words were extremely lethal.

He originally thought that he had the upper hand and could render Jiang Mingyu speechless. Who knew that Jiang Mingyu was not only outstanding in eloquence, but also had supporting evidence for what he said.

This time Huang Chaoran was completely disrupted.

Jiang Mingyu said slowly: "As for the silver I got from selling the house, I have already used it to build the city wall, and the accounts are clear."

"Master Governor, what I said is well-founded, and you can tell whether it is true or not. I believe you can also solve the case like a god."

Seeing that Huang Chaoran's face was dark and still refused to admit defeat, Jiang Mingyu rolled his eyelids: "Huang Changshi, I would like to advise you, it is related to the most sensitive issue in Dafeng - foreigners, it is best for you to say less."

"If I write to Your Majesty and explain the whole story, I am afraid that you, a relative of He Dachuan, will not be able to escape the relationship."

"Once the power of heaven comes and all nine tribes are wiped out, it will be too late to regret."

"If Mr. Changshi is not convinced, how about writing to His Majesty and asking him to uphold justice?"

"Of course, if you're still not satisfied, I wouldn't mind accompanying you to the capital, so we can have a good talk."

When Huang Chaoran heard Jiang Mingyu's warning, he felt a chill running down his spine.

He realized that he had caused a big disaster. If Jiang Mingyu reported the matter to the court, he and his entire family would be in trouble.

Huang Chaoran had mixed feelings in his heart. He regretted rashly accusing Jiang Mingyu, but also feared that Jiang Mingyu would really seize the opportunity to bring down himself.

Sweat slowly flowed down his plump cheeks. He pretended to be calm and tried his best to smile.

"Mr. Jiang is joking. I don't mean to offend, and I hope Haihan. There seems to be something fishy about He Dachuan. It is very inappropriate for me to draw conclusions without authorization."

"I just want to know the whole story without any embarrassment. It seems that He Dachuan and his son really deserve to die."

"Master Jiang is shrewd and decisive in his work and eliminates harm for the people. He is truly a model official. I admire him."

Huang Chaoran stammered and handed over to Wang Zheyi: "Master Governor, I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Huang Chaoran bowed, his voice trembling. He walked quickly to the door, fearing that Jiang Mingyu would change his mind and leave him for questioning.

The moment he opened the door, Huang Chaoran was relieved and strode away.

He trotted home all the way, thinking that he must find a way to resolve this crisis and not let Jiang Mingyu get the handle.

Jiang Mingyu sneered as he watched Huang Chaoran leave in a hurry.
