Luo QingHan is quite satisfied with Xiao Xixi's current affairs.

He went on to talk about Zhu Yuan.

"Zhu Yuan came to Shengjing with his father a month ago. His father is a Taoist and has some skills. With his exquisite acting skills, he fooled many dignitaries and dignitaries. His father also established a sect called Dusheng sect."

Xiao Xi slowly opened his big eyes and his small face was full of surprise: "Zhu Yuan is Zhu Quankun's son?"

Luo QingHan nodded: "yes."

Xiao Cuixi: "what a coincidence!"

Luo QingHan: "the fact is so coincidental."

They searched all over the world for Zhu Quankun, but they couldn't find anyone. Unexpectedly, Zhu Quankun's son took the initiative to bump into their hands.

What's this called?

This is called stepping on iron shoes. There is no place to find. It takes no time to get it!

It is not difficult for Xiao Xixi to understand that Taoists have sons. Taoists are divided into many factions, among which Huoju Taoists can marry and have children.

But Zhu Quankun may also be a fake Taoist.

Everything will wait until Zhu Quankun is caught.

Luo QingHan said, "the people of Jingzhao mansion marched Zhu Yuan to the streets this morning to force Zhu Quankun to appear."

Xiao Xixi: "what if Zhu Quankun refuses to show up with a stony heart?"

"According to Zhu Yuan's confession, Zhu Yuan is Zhu Quankun's only son, and he is also his old son. He attaches great importance to Zhu Yuan. Even if he comes to Shengjing all the way, he doesn't forget to take Zhu Yuan with him. Gu believes he won't have the heart to see his precious son suffer."

It is precisely because Zhu Yuankun spoiled his son too much that he developed Zhu Yuan into a lawless rogue.

This is his retribution.

As the prince had expected, Zhu Yuankun panicked when he saw his baby son parading in the street with chains and a broken leg.

In order to save his son, Zhu Yuankun ventured to find his followers for help.

Who knows, he just showed up and was caught by the officers who had been waiting for a long time!

Because the believers of Dusheng religion are all local people in Shengjing, and the principal offender is a civilian, the case was transferred from the Ministry of punishment to Jingzhao house.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Jingzhao mansion.

The governor of Jingzhao Prefecture is Mei Guangtao. He is only in his early thirties this year. At this age, he can become a leader in important areas of the capital. He can be called a young talent.

He wore official clothes of four grades and brought a group of officials to the ceremony.

"Mr. Wei, I'd like to see your Highness the prince!"

Luo QingHan motioned them not to be polite.

The party entered Jingzhao mansion.

Mei Guangtao knew that the crown prince didn't like those with empty heads and brains, so he didn't do anything. He directly asked people to open a court and get ready to do business.

"Your Highness the prince, please take your seat."

Luo QingHan said, "I'm just here to listen. Just follow the process."

Then he sat down beside him.

Xiao Xi sat behind him.

Mei Guangtao arched his hands at the prince, then sat down on the main seat and motioned the Yamen servants to bring the prisoners to the hall.

Zhu Yuan was brought up first.

After a lesson last night, the boy has changed from a flower Rooster to a sick rooster. He is hurt all over and looks sick and wilting. He looks very embarrassed.

Mei Guangtao just bluffed him a few words. Before he could use the punishment, Zhu Yuan shook out all the cases he had committed in one breath.

From abducting and trafficking in good family women to sneaking around, he has committed an amazing number of cases.

Even if he didn't commit the murder, it's enough to sentence him to death.

Mei Guangtao asked Chang Shi to write down all his confessions, which he signed and signed, and then brought Zhu Quankun up.

Zhu Quankun is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a good appearance. He has a goat beard under his chin and wears a blue gray Taoist robe. He looks well dressed.

He knelt down straight and kowtowed, and then asked roundly.

"I don't know what crime the grass people have committed. They want to be caught by officials?"

Mei Guangtao looked serious: "I ask you, do you know Xue, the wife of the loyal military general's house?"

Zhu Quankun said frankly, "the grass people know her. She is a believer of Dusheng religion. The grass people once calculated divination for her."

Mei Guangtao asked again, "can you know Lin, the wife of the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment?"

"Yes, she is also a believer of Dusheng religion."

Mei Guangtao stared into his eyes, did not let go of the slightest change on his face, and asked in a deep voice, "have you ever known about Lin's disappearance?"

"No."

Seeing that he denied, Mei Guangtao was not in a hurry and turned to ask about other things.

"You've only been in Shengjing for more than a month, but you've already bought three houses and hundreds of slaves in Shengjing. You're just a Taoist. How can you get so much money?"

Zhu Quankun: "the money is donated by believers."

Mei Guangtao: "is there any evidence?"

Zhu Quankun frowned and said, "this is the private affair of the grass people. It has nothing to do with this case."

Mei Guangtao smiled: "I suspect you kidnapped the hostages and extorted a huge ransom from the hostages' families. If you can't explain clearly the reason for purchasing the money of the house slaves, I can only think that you purchased the real estate and slaves with the ransom."

"If your excellency wants to say so, please let someone check. The money grass people buy houses and slaves is donated by believers. You just need to send someone to ask those believers."

He paused and added.

"There are many followers of the grass people. There are many aristocratic families among them. They are not short of money. The grass people can live a comfortable life by their donations. Why take the risk of kidnapping and extortion?"

His words were well founded and frank, and he seemed not afraid of being investigated at all.

Mei Guangtao could not help frowning, thinking that this time he had encountered a hard stubble, which was difficult to deal with!

"If you write down the names of the believers of Dusheng sect, I will ask people to inquire door to door. I won't wrong a good man, but I won't let a bad man go."

Zhu Quankun showed great cooperation.

He immediately dipped his pen in ink and wrote down a long list of names.

Mei Guangtao asked his officials to go door-to-door with yamen servants.

This interrogation process took a lot of time, so Mei Guangtao asked someone to put Zhu Quankun and Zhu Yuan back in prison for the time being.

Zhu Quankun suddenly opened his mouth at this time.

"For the sake of his youth and ignorance, please spare his life and give him a chance to reform!"

Mei Guangtao sneered: "your son has passed the year of weak crown. Is it OK to call him young and ignorant? Since Zhu Yuan has violated the law, he must be dealt with according to law!"

Before Zhu Quankun could speak again, Mei Guangtao waved his hand and motioned to pull the man down.

Two suspects were dragged away.

Mei Guangtao stood up, arched his hands to the prince sitting next to him and said, "I'm afraid the trial of this case won't come out for a while. Please move to the teahouse, have some tea and have a rest."
