Under Li Zexuan's strong request, the Supreme Court's soldiers could only fearfully invite Li Zexuan to the cleanest prison cell in the Supreme Court. The blanket was changed to the newest one, and they even brought over a table, a few copies of Datang Daily, and some teapots and wine cups. It could be said that all the conveniences they could provide were provided!
Li Zexuan's prison cell just happened to be the prison cell that he sent in today. Seeing that Li Zexuan's prison cell was as comfortable as an inn, the group of people's eyes turned red with envy. But they also knew that they would not receive such treatment, so they could only sit on the floor and wait for the Supreme Court's judgment!
"Other than this new blanket, take away the rest! This Marquis is here to go to prison, not to stay in an inn! This Marquis appreciates the intentions of these few little brothers! "
What was surprising was that Li Zexuan actually rejected the special treatment given by the officials, and requested for the Supreme Court's officials to take away all the things.
As for leaving the new blanket behind, it was really because he could not stand the dirty and hard blanket from before!
But then again, as a 'big brother', it was reasonable for him to ask for a new blanket, right?
"Marquis, this … you are still innocent, you don't have to torture yourself like this right?"
The soldier had a difficult expression on his face.
They knew that Li Zexuan was a good official who wholeheartedly served the people, otherwise they would not spend so much effort.
"I have already made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me anymore! Just do as I say, and then go do your own things! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said.
He did this not to put on a show, nor was it purposely pretentious. It was because the current era that he was in required him to do so!
This time, although he had used the power of thunder and successfully pushed the Cui family into a state of eternal damnation, but the method he used was somewhat taboo!
Because he had used the public's will!
In this era where the imperial power was greater than the heavens, you, as an official, actually dared to use the public's will to force the Emperor to do something he did not want to do. Today you forced the Emperor to deal with the Cui family, then tomorrow you would use the public's will to force the Emperor to abdicate the throne!
In the era of imperial power, whether the Emperor's mind was big or small, he would not like such an official!
The big minded ones might tolerate you for a period of time, but the small minded ones would directly kill you, a potential threat!
Therefore, Li Zexuan didn't have anything else to do today. Instead, he took the initiative to turn himself in. He had to show this attitude. Now, he was still in charge of his family. Even if he didn't think for himself, he had to think for his family, right?
Seeing Li Zexuan's insistence, the soldier had no choice but to remove the things from the prison cell.
Li Zexuan sat cross-legged on the couch and closed his eyes in deep thought.
…
After an unknown period of time, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the prison cell. Li Zexuan opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark red official's robe with a dark blue belt around his waist walking over with a few soldiers! The man had a head full of black hair, a pair of indifferent tiger eyes, and a straight figure. He could be considered to have a dignified appearance!
"This official, Dai Zhou, greets the Marquis of Yong 'an!"
The middle-aged official asked someone to open the cell. Then, he cupped his hands and bowed to Li Zexuan who was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Although he was older than Li Zexuan, his official position was lower than Li Zexuan's. Since he was in the officialdom, he should follow the rules of the officialdom.
"So it's Dai Shaoqing! Nice to meet you! "
Li Zexuan stood up and cupped his hands in return. "This Marquis's body is guilty, Dai Shaoqing shouldn't be so courteous!"
Dai Zhou shook his head. "Whether Marquis is guilty or not, His Majesty has yet to make a conclusion. But just based on the fact that Marquis is willing to seek justice for a maid he doesn't even know, this Dai Zhou still admires Marquis!"
This Dai Zhou dared to say anything. Now, the officials in the imperial court who had some brains basically knew that the confession letter was related to Li Zexuan. But Li Zexuan's methods were obviously taboo. Under such circumstances, Dai Zhou still dared to publicly praise him. If it fell into the ears of someone with ulterior motives, it might become a weakness!
"Dai Shaoqing must be joking! This Marquis is young and impetuous, I don't know the severity of the matter. Fortunately, this Marquis didn't cause any big trouble. Otherwise, I'm afraid my conscience will not be at ease for the rest of my life! "
Li Zexuan shook his head and sighed with emotion. Then he asked, "May I ask Dai Shaoqing how His Majesty dealt with the Cui Family in the morning court today?"
Dai Zhou replied expressionlessly, "Madam Wang killed people. Although she had committed suicide, her behavior was so vile that it angered people and gods alike. His Majesty ordered the Cui Family to bury Madam Wang's body in the wilderness. They are not allowed to enter the Cui Family's ancestral mausoleum, and they are not allowed to look for a place with good feng shui for her!
East County Duke Cui Junchuo didn't manage his family well. He allowed his family to embezzle the land of the common people and allowed his family members to kidnap women. His Majesty decreed that he was stripped of his title of East County Duke and sent back to Zhengzhou. He was ordered to return all the land that he had embezzled in the past ten years to the common people within a month. Those who kidnapped women must also be handed over to the local government within a month!
In addition, His Majesty sent the Left Prime Minister Wei Zheng to Henan Province to thoroughly investigate all the officials who have covered up or colluded with the Cui Family in Zhengzhou in recent years. He wanted to clean up the local government and return the common people to the common people! "
Hearing this, Li Zexuan was relieved. Old Li was finally willing to completely deal with the Cui Family. His plan was not in vain!
Moreover, sending Wei Zheng to Henan Province was the most ruthless move. Didn't your Cui family get wind and rain in Henan Province in the past? Wasn't it all because the local government took care of you? Now I will remove those officials who took care of you. Let's see how you can continue to be lawless in Henan Province!
"His Majesty is wise! In this way, Miss Nianyu can finally rest in peace! "
Li Zexuan murmured.
"Marquis, I have something to say, but I don't know if it's appropriate!"
Dai Zhou hesitated for a moment and asked.
Li Zexuan's first impression of Dai Zhou was not bad. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Vice Minister Dai, please!"
Dai Zhou waved his hand and dismissed his attendants. Then he looked at Li Zexuan with shining eyes and said, "I believe that with Marquis's wisdom, he must have known that this method would hurt the enemy a thousand times and hurt eight hundred times. But why did Marquis still use this method? Just for an unknown little maid, is it really worth it? "
Li Zexuan was silent. After a moment of silence, he said, "Some things can't be measured only by whether it's worth it or not! Since I encountered this matter, I must take care of it! If I don't do anything, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life! And in my opinion, conscience and justice are not silent. They know it's impossible and do it! The Cui Family is powerful and seemingly invincible. But the sword of justice is not forged for the strong, it is for the weak! If I don't stand up today, there will be more wronged souls in the netherworld! I will never regret what I did today!! "
