Looking at the butterfly dance holding the shape in both hands, Li Yuntian felt a burst of joy in his heart, but the look on his face was extremely solemn, staring at the butterfly dance coldly.

At this moment, Diewu didn't know that she had robbed other people's plays, and a middle-aged man in the audience looked at the scene in front of him with a stunned expression, looking in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

According to Li Yuntian's previous arrangement, after the Oiran Conference, this middle-aged man will come forward to file a complaint, accusing the Huizhou government of privately paying taxes and enriching his own pockets, making the local people miserable.

Then, Li Yuntian took this case as an opportunity to check the accounts of the Jiangnan Prefecture government, exposed the vicious nature of the yamen in various places to collect taxes under the name of cunning, and thoroughly promoted the reform of the tax system in the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of Butterfly Dance disrupted the plan made by Li Yuntian, which made the middle-aged man have no choice but to wait and see what happened, secretly waiting for Lin Xin's signal.

"Do you know the consequences of overstepping the sue?" Under the gaze of everyone at the scene, Li Yuntian groaned for a while, and looked at Butterfly Dance expressionlessly.

"The people's girls know that if they go to the higher level, they will be punished for thirty years, and the people's girls are willing to be punished." Butterfly Dance nodded vigorously when she heard this, and replied with a resolute expression.

"Can you patrol the imperial history?" Li Yuntian saw that Butterfly Dance had made up his mind, so he raised his voice and asked the high-ranking officials of cultural relics gathered on the side of the stage.

"The lower official is here." Hearing this, Wang Lu, the inspector of the imperial history, hurriedly squeezed out from behind those officials, came to Li Yuntian and bowed down and said.

"This case will be handed over to you by the king, and you must find out this case." Li Yuntian took the form from Diewu's hand, stretched out his hand and handed it to Wang Lu, and said quietly.

"The lower officials must do their best to investigate this case." Wang Lu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the situation and replied loudly.

Seeing that Li Yuntian picked up the case, Diewu's face suddenly showed a look of relief, which means that Li Yuntian took over the case, then Wang Lu will definitely try his best to find out the case.

"At the beginning of tomorrow morning, the case will be heard in the Yangzhou Mansion, and the king will hear the trial at that time." Li Yuntian glanced around at the crowd looking at him, and said in a loud voice, "If you have time, you can also go and listen to it, and see what grievances our new Oiran has to appeal to this king!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Yuntian walked towards the door, Lin Xin and other guards hurriedly chased forward, and left with Li Yuntian under the stunned gaze of everyone at the scene.

It wasn't until Li Yuntian's figure disappeared outside the door that the people standing in the hall came back to their senses, talking to each other and whispering, no one would have thought that such an unbelievable thing would happen at the Good Oiran Conference, and the new Oiran complained to the Prince of Daming, which was unheard of.

Xue Wu and other civil and military dignitaries were not interested in talking about this matter, since Li Yuntian had spoken, then they would definitely go to Yangzhou Mansion tomorrow to observe the trial of the case, so after Li Yuntian left, they left one after another, and secretly sent people to investigate the case that Diewu wanted to sue.

Diewu has become a guilty person because of the accusation, so Wang Lu sent someone to send her to the Yangzhou Mansion Prison, so that she could be detained and prepared to pass the court tomorrow.

I'm afraid that Butterfly Dance will become the only Oiran in the Jiangnan Oiran Conference who has just become the leader and was put in prison, I dare not say that there is no one to come, but there is absolutely no one before, and this kind of bizarre thing will be difficult to happen again in the future.

The civil and military dignitaries in Yangzhou City soon inquired about the case that Diewu was going to sue, Diewu's father was originally a magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture, according to the trial of Songjiang Mansion that year, when Diewu's father arrived, the imperial court just allocated a sum of money to repair the county's river.

It's a pity that Butterfly Dance's father didn't use the money to repair the river that was already in disrepair and dilapidated, but took it as his own.

Originally, as long as there was no flood, no one knew about it, but the good thing was that in the second year, heavy rain fell in Nanzhili, which led to floods in many places in Nanzhili, among which the river in the county where Diewu's father was located was washed away by the flood, resulting in heavy losses, and the imperial court was furious and ordered Nanzhili to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After the joint investigation of the Nanzhili Criminal Department and Songjiang Prefecture, it was found that Diewu's father embezzled the silver of Xiuhe, the evidence was conclusive, and he should have been sentenced to death, but the crime was reduced by one degree when he met the birthday of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and he was exiled to the frontier, and his wife and daughter's family were also implicated, the man was a slave, and the woman was a prostitute.

Because Qingfeng Pavilion's mother Zhang has long liked the smart and clever Butterfly Dance, she made Yinzi bring Butterfly Dance to Qingfeng Pavilion and join the prostitution.

Moreover, those civil and military dignitaries have all received a message, that is, the evidence of the crime in this case is conclusive, and there are both human and physical evidence, so there should be no problem.

At the same time, Li Yuntian also got the information about Diewu's father's case overnight, his brows furrowed slightly, he knew that this kind of embezzlement of Xiuhe's volume was very common in officialdom, so it was difficult to say whether Diewu's father had been wronged, after all, no father was willing to tell his children that he was greedy for money.

"Lord Wang, do you think this case of Butterfly Dance will be useful to us?" Lin Xin brought Li Yuntian a supper, which was freshly boiled millet porridge, and saw that Li Yuntian was looking at the information about Diewu's father's case, so he asked in a deep voice.

The appearance of Butterfly Dance disrupted Li Yuntian's previous plan, once the case of Butterfly Dance was confirmed to be not an unjust case, then Li Yuntian had to think of another way to attack the Ming Dynasty's tax system.

"If Butterfly's father hadn't cheated on her, then this would be a great time for us." Li Yuntian took a few sips of millet porridge and said slowly, for him, this case will be a rare opportunity for her to rectify the officialdom in Jiangnan.

"Lord Wang, the files of this case are all in Songjiang Mansion, and Songjiang Mansion is the place where the case occurred, should we go to Songjiang Mansion?" Lin Xin nodded when she heard this, if she started from Butterfly Dance, the outside world would not doubt Li Yuntian's true intentions, and then asked in a deep voice, she needs to make arrangements in advance.

"When the hall is over tomorrow, we will go to Songjiang Mansion, and there will be no flaws in the file alone." Li Yuntian bowed slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "It's just that four years have passed since the case, and it's not easy to find out any evidence." ”

"Lord Wang, now that Gu Chen is still at large, will it be dangerous if you go to Songjiang Mansion?" Lin Xin hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Yuntian with a concerned expression.

"Gu Chen has been alarmed, and he can no longer get any clues from Cui Hui's body, this king is not afraid that they will attack this king, if they are dormant, this king is worried."

Li Yuntian knew that Lin Xin was worried about himself, so he pondered for a while and said solemnly, "Now that our spies have laid a net, just waiting for Gu Chen to show up, this king doesn't mind being a bait." ”

"Lord Wang, according to the latest news, Cui Hui's concubine Liu is now quietly selling her property and property, and it seems that she wants to escape." Lin Xin's eyes suddenly flashed a look of helplessness when she heard this, she knew that Li Yuntian's mind had already been decided, and it was difficult to persuade again, so she smiled and said, "It seems that the Liu family is already thinking about the way back." ”

"Lord Wang, there is one thing you may not know, the Liu family has a little white face outside, it seems to be some distant cousin of hers, and our people who are following her find out that she has a secret meeting with that little white face."

Then, Lin Xin Yufeng turned, his eyes showed a look of schadenfreude, Cui Hui must not know that the Liu family, who swore an alliance with him, had already given him a big green hat, otherwise he would definitely be angry, you must know that he didn't bother with Liu's body.

"Cui Hui's matter will be put aside for a while, and now we will make every effort to investigate the case of Diewu's father." Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, he didn't expect that such a smart person as Cui Hui didn't close his back house and was cuckolded, but he didn't have the heart to pay attention to Cui Hui now, and said to Lin Xin in a deep voice, Diewu's father is the focus of the current task.

Lin Xin nodded, she sent someone to Songjiang Mansion early tomorrow morning to investigate Diewu's father's case, hoping to find out the case as soon as possible, Li Yuntian didn't have much time to waste on this kind of case.

The next day, the Yangzhou Mansion, the lobby.

Because of Li Yuntian's words in Baihualou last night, Xue Wu and other officials of the six ministries and the civil and military dignitaries at the level of the governor of the five prefectures all rushed to Yangzhou Mansion to hear the trial, and quietly sat on the stools on the left and right sides of the lobby, and the rest of the low-ranking officials couldn't come even if they wanted to.

Unlike Xue Wu and the others, Li Yuntian sat on a Taishi chair, placed on the right side of the lobby, and sat there slowly and methodically sipping tea.

It's a little embarrassing to say, although Cui Hui is the prefect of Yangzhou Mansion, Li Yuntian did not let him attend the court trial, and he also avoided Li Yuntian knowingly, lest Li Yuntian be upset when he encounters him.

"Criminal!" Wang Lu, who was sitting in the lobby, sat down in his seat after saluting Li Yuntian and the others, and shouted loudly after patting the wood.

Looking at the shocking wood in Wang Lu's hand, Li Yuntian couldn't help but recall the situation when he tried the case in Hukou County, and since he was transferred to the capital as an official, he has rarely had the opportunity to try the case.

"Might~Martial~" The officials on both sides of the hall suddenly moved the water and fire sticks in their hands in unison, and shouted in unison.

Butterfly Dance was waiting in the wing room on the side of the lobby, and a servant quickly brought her up, because she was taken directly from Baihualou last night, so she was still wearing a red dress during the competition, her eyes were red, her expression was haggard, and she didn't seem to have slept all night.

It is worth mentioning that although Diewu was arrested and put in prison, her crime was only to be prosecuted by a higher level, so she did not need to wear prison uniforms and prison equipment.

"The maiden knocks on the prince, the presiding judge, and the lords." Butterfly Wu saw that there were many civil and military magnates in the hall, and felt a burst of relief in her heart, kneeling in front of the hall and saluting Li Yuntian and Wang Luhe in turn, in her opinion, the bigger the pomp and circumstance of the court trial, the more her father's case could be investigated.

"The official asked you, do you want to sue for grievances?" Wang Lu picked up the white silk that was placed in front of the table and looked at it, and asked Butterfly Dance with an expressionless face.

"The presiding judge, the people's daughter's injustice is as deep as the sea, and I ask the lord to make the decision for the people's daughter." Butterfly Dance nodded vigorously and said with a sad expression.

"Butterfly Dance, the official sees that you are young, soft and weak, and can't withstand the thirty boards, so it's better to withdraw this state." Hearing this, Wang Lu put down the white silk in his hand and said quietly.

According to the usual practice, Wang Lu must first persuade Butterfly Dance to withdraw the lawsuit, so that both parties can be said to be happy, Butterfly Dance can be exempted from thirty boards, and Wang Lu also saves time and energy.

"Lord Presiding Judge, the parents and brothers of the people's daughter are suffering, how can the people's daughter survive?" Butterfly Dance shook her head when she heard this, and said with a sad face.

"Someone, execution!" Wang Lu shook his head helplessly when he heard this, took out a order from the lottery holder and threw it out, no matter what, the thirty boards of Butterfly Dance couldn't run.

When the officials on both sides of the lobby heard this, a few people suddenly walked out, pressed Diewu to the ground, and reached out to pick up her pants, ready to spank her ass, this humiliation was inevitable.

"Wait!" Seeing that a servant's hand was about to press on Diewu's belt, Li Yuntian suddenly spoke, put down the teacup and said, "For the sake of her father, let's wear clothes." ”

"Lord Wang, Butterfly Dance's body is weak, according to the king's view, these thirty boards will be played separately." Saying that, Li Yuntian looked at Wang Lu and said slowly, "Let's hit ten boards first to set an example!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!" Wang Lu bowed to Li Yuntian when he heard this, and responded in a deep voice, he knew that Li Yuntian had always pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade, so he adopted this workaround, anyway, Li Yuntian didn't say that the remaining twenty boards would not be played.

Hearing this, Butterfly Dance's eyes suddenly showed a look of gratitude, she knew that Li Yuntian's move not only saved her from humiliation, but also saved her life, otherwise she would have half her life left if she didn't die under the thirty boards.

What is particularly important is that the officials in charge of the execution have already understood what Li Yuntian meant, and after looking at each other, they know the proportions of waiting for the next move.
