"Adult!"

  Zhou Tai replied, "On the very night you arrived in Jiaxing, Wang An ordered Zhao Si to escort the relief grain out of the city and deliver it to the Shen family. However, he sent someone to lure Zhao Si away at the city gate, then replaced the relief grain, making everything seem seamless."

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun asked curiously: "Can they be certain that Shen You won't send someone to inspect the disaster relief grain?"

  Zhou Tai replied, "All of this was actually within their calculations. The rice and grains are white in color, and the sand they mixed in is also white, so it's impossible to distinguish at night. Moreover, even if Officer Shen and his men were to inspect, Zhao Si would still find a way to obstruct them."

  It wasn't until then that Zhang Jun suddenly realized, so it was like this.

  "Afterwards, Wang An and Gu Cong were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they sent someone to kill Zhao Si's wife and husband as well as those two captains. I also narrowly escaped death, if it wasn't for Young Master Yang, I would have been dead long ago."

  Zhang Jun glanced at Wang An, who was pale and drenched in sweat, and asked Zhou Tai: "Zhao Si couple obviously committed suicide, how could they be murdered?"

  Zhou Tai replied: "The death of Zhao Si and his wife was told to me by Young Master Yang."

  "Oh?"

  Zhang Jun looked at Yang Chengye and asked: "How did you know that Zhao Si was murdered, and it was done by Wang An and others?"

  Yang Chengye replied: "Sir, on that day at Zhao Si's house, I saw two marks on the necks of Zhao Si and his wife. One was deep purple and the other was a white mark."

  "The white mark is left behind after a person dies from hanging, but what's fatal is that deep purple mark."

  Moreover, after Zhao Si's death, his face was calm, and it was clear that he had not expected the visitor to kill him, nor did he put up a fierce resistance.

  "The only one who can kill Zhao Si without him knowing is Wang An, Lord Wang."

  Zhang Jun asked curiously: "How can you tell?"

  Yang Chengye opened his hand and revealed a piece of cloth, saying: "Sir, please take a look. This was found in Zhao Si's dead body on the day before yesterday."

  Moreover, King An Wang was also present at the scene that day, and a piece of clothing on his body happened to be torn off.

  "Nonsense! A piece of clothing from this official's body has been torn off, how could this official not know?"

  At this time, Wang An stood up and shouted: "You are all talking nonsense, saying that the prefecture is stealing disaster relief grain and even killing Zhao Si to silence him. What evidence do you have?"

  "Besides Zhou Tai, this official has always treated you kindly, why did you collude with others to frame this official?"

  Yang Chengye sneered and said: "Wang An, you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

  Yang Chengye then said to Zhang Jun: "Sir, can you send someone to bring the clothes that Wang wore on that day and compare them with this piece of torn fabric?"

  Zhang Jun nodded and glanced at the guard, who then took orders and left.

  "Slap"

  After the guard left, Zhang Jun struck the wooden block again and said: "Come on, quickly bring the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Gu Cong, to justice!"

  "Yes!"

  Another guard responded and led the constables away with orders.

  "Wang An, now that things have come to this, what else can you say?"

  Zhang Jun's eyes were sharp and piercing as he stared at Wang An.

  Hahaha

  At this time, Wang An suddenly changed his usual demeanor and laughed loudly: "It's really wonderful, I didn't expect that after all the calculations, you Yang would be the one to slip through."

  "Zhou Tai, can you tell this official whether you were truly mad back then?"

  Zhou Tai said, "On that day I was ambushed and my brain was shaken, I really went mad, but I was rescued by Young Master Yang. Heaven has spared me, leaving me alive just to testify against you."

  Wang An said calmly: "So that's how it is. You can't kill a snake without being entangled by its corpse. I should have killed you directly at the beginning to eliminate future troubles."

  After a pause, Wang An said to Zhang Jun: "That's right, the disaster relief grain was embezzled by our prefecture, and the disaster relief silver was also embezzled by our prefecture. Except for the 10,000 guan you sent, the rest were all given to my respected teacher as a tribute. What can you do to me?"

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun furrowed his brow: "Your benefactor, who is he?"

  Wang An sneered: "You don't even know my mentor, this prince is really somewhat of a failure."

  "Listen well, my benefactor is a favorite of the current emperor, the prime minister of the present dynasty..."

  At these words, Zhang Jun was suddenly shocked: "What did you say? Your mentor is Qin……"

  Wang An smiled and said: "That's right, even if you know that I tampered with the disaster relief grain and embezzled the disaster relief silver, what can you do to sentence me?"

  "Hiss, this......"

  Zhang Jun hesitated, although he and the current Prime Minister Qin Hui were allies, but in front of the Emperor, there was also competition, and Zhang Jun had always been at a disadvantage. Now, he actually had to sentence Qin Hui's student, which was somewhat difficult to handle.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and said: "Since your mentor is Lord Qin, then..."

  At this time, Yang Chengye suddenly said: "Zhang sir, as the saying goes, 'three feet above the head has divine clarity', all our actions are under the eyes of the gods and cannot be hidden."

  After hearing Yang Chengye's words, Zhang Jun was shocked again. He suddenly thought of what the old immortal had said to him, that he would sense his every move at any time and place. If he let Wang An go, and the old immortal found out, all his wishes would be ruined.

  "Slap"

  Zhang Jun slammed his hand on the table again and shouted: "Shut up! Even if you are a proud student of the current prime minister, what does it matter?"

  "It is said that when a son of heaven commits a crime, he should be punished the same as common people. As an official, I would rather give up my position than not bring you to justice!"

  Yang Chengye was very satisfied with Zhang Jun's words, it seems that Lao Shennian's words had a great impact on Zhang Jun.

  But Wang An stared at Zhang Jun in disbelief: "You'd better think it over carefully!"

  Wang An's words were clearly threatening, causing Zhang Jun to hesitate again.

  At this moment, Zhang Jun's two guards returned together to report.

  One of them brought the clothes that Wang An had, which happened to be missing a piece of fabric, exactly the same as the one Yang Chengye was holding, and they could be sewn together seamlessly.

  "Sir, Gu Cong has arrived!"

  Another guard reported to Wang An.

  "Slap"

  Zhang Jun ordered: "Bring Gu Cong up."

  A moment later, a man with a stout body, pale face and weak limbs was brought up by two bailiffs. Judging from his appearance, if it weren't for the support of the two bailiffs, he would probably have collapsed to the ground.

  "Slap"

  Zhang Jun shouted: "How dare you, Gu Cong! How did you collude with Wang An to swap the disaster relief grain? You'd better confess the truth!"

  Gu Cong immediately fell to the ground, stuttering and saying: "Your Excellency spare my life, I was coerced by Wang An, please spare my life."

  Then Gu Cong said that he was with the people who led Zhao Si and two captors away, then sent someone to replace the carriage, and how he conspired with Wang An to sell the disaster relief grain at a high price, making a profit of millions of guan, which is basically the same as what Zhou Tai said.

  After listening to Gu Cong's narration, Zhang Jun suddenly became furious and ordered Gu Cong to draw a guarantee.

  "Slap"

  Zhang Jun slapped the wooden table and said, "At this time, the case of disaster relief grain is considered solved. The main culprit, Gu Cong, was rich but not benevolent, using dirty rice to exchange for disaster relief grain, framing others. According to the law of the Song Dynasty, he will be beheaded immediately, and all his property will be confiscated."

  After hearing Zhang Jun's verdict for himself, Gu Cong immediately lost control of his bowels and fainted.
