Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Sentenced to Execution After Autumn Interrogation

But he has already rotted in the soil beneath his feet, unable to distinguish right from wrong. Give him justice? Put him back in his official position? What’s the point?

No point at all.

Karma is inevitable.

Jun Ning could return things to him, but the person he once was is now lost. Even if he sits in that position again, he would only be a parasite, engaging in deceitful practices, no different from County Magistrate Li.

Thinking of this, Jun Ning sighed and took out his purse, filled with gold leaves. For an ordinary person, it would be enough to live a lifetime in comfort.

Jun Ning threw the whole bag of gold leaves at Bai Wenzuo’s feet, "Reverse the accounts, and this bag of gold leaves will be yours."

If it were Bai Wenzuo a few years ago, even if someone threw a thousand taels of gold at his feet, he wouldn’t be tempted, let alone pick it up.

Because he felt it was an insult.

But decades later, Bai Wenzuo was smoothed out by the mundane world, and he picked up the embroidered peony-patterned purse at his feet with joy.

Upon seeing the full bag of gold leaves, his eyes widened, "Really?"

"If it’s not real, is it fake? Hmph, don’t you know who my aunt is? She is a princess, would she deceive a beggar like you?" Jing Shu said coldly.

Bai Wenzuo chuckled, "I, as a commoner, judged a gentleman’s heart with a petty mind; my mistake. I apologize to Her Highness the Princess."

"I’m sorry, Your Highness."

Bai Wenzuo kowtowed several times towards Jun Ning’s figure, making a sound with each bow as if wishing to lay out his lifetime’s greatest sincerity for Jun Ning to see.

However, Jun Ning did not want to look.

She turned away, not wanting to see Bai Wenzuo prostrate on the ground or hear his voice. A huge corner of her heart was overcast, and a storm was about to break.

The sound of Bai Wenzuo’s kowtowing was the catalyst.

Jun Ning said somewhat unhappily, "Alright, stop kowtowing. Jing Shu, take him to Chao Jiu’s room to write, and bring it back once it’s finished."

Jing Shu took Bai Wenzuo away.

Tightly clutching the purse with peony embroidery, Bai Wenzuo uneasily asked Jing Shu, "Esteemed one, the princess seemed displeased, it couldn’t be because of me?"

Jing Shu laughed a few times, "...You’re overthinking, it’s not because of you."

"Then why?" Bai Wenzuo, not getting an answer, was very uneasy.

Seeing Bai Wenzuo’s determination to get to the root of the matter, Jing Shu had to make up an excuse, "It’s because those above are urging her to hurry with the task, and with Yuyang County’s current state, the pressure is immense."

Bai Wenzuo didn’t doubt Jing Shu’s explanation and nodded, "I see."

It took Bai Wenzuo two hours to restore the accounts, which were now filled with scribbles and marks, messy and hard to read.

Jun Ning glanced at the corrected ledger and felt a headache, unable to help but ask, "Are you really a scholar?"

Bai Wenzuo nodded, confused, "Yes, why?"

"Did you put your brains in your waistband?" Jun Ning was somewhat angry, "Couldn’t you just correct the errors on white paper? Why scribble all over it?"

It’s quite labor-intensive, energy-consuming, and time-wasting this way.

And now that it’s been scribbled all over, it’s irreversible. Transcribing it again would be wasteful, and time doesn’t allow such waste.

Bai Wenzuo was embarrassed, scratching his head, "I was just focused on the gold leaves and didn’t think much."

"Alright!"

Jun Ning said exasperatedly, starting to read the accounts, guessing where she couldn’t understand, determinedly trying to make sense of it. With care and effort, one could understand it.

However, after finishing, she lost all appetite.

Her mind was a mess, her entire being slightly pale from exhaustion.

"Chao Jiu, take the corrupt silver coins listed from the accounts and arrest people." Jun Ning drank a sip of soup, "I suppose Mr. Li has rested enough while we were correcting the accounts; now let him stay in jail for a while until the Yu State Inspector comes to conduct a joint trial and sentencing."

Jun Ning acted decisively, without any procrastination. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

With evidence in hand, she arrested people immediately, even if she felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

Chao Jiu went to arrest the people.

Half a month later, the Prefectural Governor of Yuyang County and the Yu State Inspector arrived, with the Inspector personally interrogating the case of County Magistrate Li’s corruption and dereliction of duty.

The case was rock-solid, unassailable, proceeding swiftly, sentenced to execution in autumn for the Yuyang County Magistrate, all in one morning.

Due to the large amount of embezzlement, Mrs. Li was also implicated and sentenced to execution in autumn.
