I'm really not doing business

Chapter 737: The true feelings are revealed, which is a height that Chuanzi will never reach in his lifetime!
"Wang Ci Fu is still amazing." Zhu Yijun affirmed Wang Chonggu's abilities as the Minister of Justice. He was really amazing. He grasped the core of the problem at once and provided the emperor with a reliable solution in the fastest time.

Common-law marriage was a judicial practice in the Ming Dynasty.

The vast majority of people in the Ming Dynasty might never go to the government office to file a complaint in their entire lives. For them, legal awareness was extremely weak. Going to the government office to get a marriage certificate was a very unfamiliar thing for most people.

Moreover, the phenomenon of child brides existed in many places in the Ming Dynasty. In many cases, the children's age did not even reach the minimum age of sixteen for marriage, but in fact the couple had already lived together for many years.

The marriage certificate of the Ming Dynasty had to clearly state the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Both parents had to sign and seal the certificate, and a red sticker would be affixed with the bride's birth date and the auspicious date for picking up the bride, as well as the receipt of the six betrothal gifts. The husband had to sign and leave his footprints. Some wealthy families would even carve the marriage certificate and hammer it into shape with a copper plate to keep it forever.

This is very troublesome and not something that ordinary people can afford, so when local officials of the Ming Dynasty handled similar cases, they used facts as the judgment standard rather than marriage certificates.

In this case, Wang Chonggu immediately grasped the core issue of the case: who was the adulterer.

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "But according to the law, Liu and Tang Zhihan did divorce him. In the sixth year of the Wanli reign, Tang Zhihan succeeded Li Ruiqi as the general manager of Yuegang Ocean Trading Company. He was a ninth-rank official. When he obtained his official position, he recorded his wife as his wife according to the regulations. At the beginning of last year, the two divorced. From the perspective of Ming Dynasty law, Liu and Tang Zhihan are not husband and wife."

Wang Chonggu immediately said, "Your Majesty, the fact of fraud exists, and the divorce should not be considered valid. In order to seize Tang Zhihan's wealth, Liu used tax reduction as bait, took advantage of trust, and defrauded property. Even if we don't take Tang Zhihan's men into consideration, the divorce should be considered invalid. Therefore, we should first check the taxes and then investigate the case."

"The fact of fraud is crucial. Okay, let's follow Wang Ci Fu's advice." Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Wang Ci Fu is indeed a minister who is responsible for the country's development. I am very pleased. Wang Aiqing, how old is Wang Qian's youngest son this year? Is it time for him to go to school?"

Wang Chonggu hurriedly said, "I am terrified. My child is seven years old and is currently studying at home."

"Then let's grant him the title of a student of the Imperial College." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

The title of "Scholar" was given to students of the Imperial College. A seven-year-old scholar was a blessing from the emperor. It was not surprising. In the Imperial College, there were also three-year-old students who could pay millet. The title of "Scholar" of Wang Chonggu's grandson belonged to the category of "Yinjian", which meant that the sons of ministers of the third rank and above and the descendants of meritorious relatives could enter the academy without taking the exam.

Wang Chonggu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request. Can I be replaced by a student of the Royal Institute of Technology?"

"That's right. The Imperial College is a bunch of old fogies. Apart from teaching some nonsense, they don't know anything else." Zhu Yijun smiled and agreed.

Wang Chonggu was not being too arrogant. At his age, if he had some appropriate requests, he would not be considered as wanting to become Sima Yi. As a minister, if he had no desires, that would make the emperor wary.

"I bow to thank the emperor for his grace." Wang Chonggu bowed again to express his gratitude.

Wang Chonggu was an authoritarian worshiper from the beginning to the end. He didn't even believe in the laws of the Ming Dynasty. How could Wang Chonggu believe in the laws of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor was above the law? Therefore, he never thought that there was anything terrible about the struggle roll.

Procedurally speaking, Tang Zhihan had indeed divorced and appeared at Liu's home, and he deserved to be beaten to death by her "husband", but Your Majesty believed that Tang Zhihan was not wrong, so the specific definition of the law must be revised and the judicial practice must be written into explicit text. This is the effect of authoritarianism.

While Liu single-handedly promoted the construction of the Ming Dynasty's financial system, he also single-handedly promoted the improvement of the Ming Dynasty's laws, making the definition of de facto marriage clearer.

Zhu Yijun attached great importance to this matter, and he had a very obvious tendency to favor Tang Zhihan. On the one hand, it was based on sympathy for his experience, and on the other hand, it was mainly because of his stance, the stance of the emerging bourgeoisie of the Ming Dynasty.

The four pillars of a country are scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Scholars are the ruling class and do not need Zhu Yijun's favoritism, while Tang Zhihan is a businessman with a low social status and needs certain policy support and favoritism.

Zhu Yijun once again said clearly: "Even if we don't consider Tang Zhihan's brothers, I will have a clear inclination, because this involves the most basic operating principle of the country, fairness. The struggle volume makes it clear that when it does not threaten the ownership of the regime, we must strive to achieve fairness and prevent the contradictions between the classes from intensifying and causing unrest."

The struggle volume talks about struggle, and describes the regime as follows: political power is the result and goal of struggle. If we allow class contradictions to continue to expand and the struggle to become more generalized and larger in scale, society will gradually take back the regime that already belongs to it in the struggle, and achieve fairness and justice, which can effectively alleviate the intensification of contradictions.

The Ming Dynasty was established in ruins, which fits this description, and it perished in corruption, which also fits this description.

In summary: when the ruler is corrupt and the ministers are too authoritarian, the power and authority are transferred to the lower levels, people's hearts are scattered and the world is in chaos, and heroes rise up. Emperor Taizu Gao was a man of natural talent, he started from the fields and achieved great success; our ancestors entrusted the country and the people, but the ruler could not protect them, then the country declined, the enemy was vicious and cunning, and the city was in danger, and chaos and destruction ensued; rise and fall are all like this, and there is nothing easier than this.

Zhang Juzheng discovered that when the Struggle Volume talks about struggle, it is not so much about how to struggle as it is about how to prevent the generalization and expansion of the struggle in practice. This is probably the contradiction and unity of the Struggle Volume, and it is also the positive significance of the Struggle Volume to the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to avoid it like the plague, it is just a theory in itself.

Zhang Juzheng's mentality was changing. For some things, the more you fear them, the more likely they are to happen. It is better to face them bravely and then solve these problems. This is also a kind of perseverance. Facing any difficulties, you have the courage to face them and stand up again after failure until you solve them.

Setbacks are inevitable, giving up is unforgivable.

"In addition to the case, I have another matter." Zhang Juzheng's face was solemn. He came here with the second assistant, so naturally he had something important to say.

"Last year, the Baoyuan Bureau minted a total of 7.5 million silver coins, one million more than the expected 6.5 million. This year, it is expected to exceed 10 million for the first time. Yunnan and Huguang minted a total of 12 million Wanli Tongbao coins with two flat backs. By the end of this year, it is expected to mint 20 million. The Baochao Bureau issued 1.5 million Japanese currency notes last year, but will not issue them this year."

"Last year, a total of 2 million guan of overseas circulation notes were issued and sent to Luzon. This year, 5 million guan is expected to be issued."

"The Ministry of Revenue has decided to increase the issuance of 3 million guan of banknotes for overseas circulation this year. I, the cabinet ministers, and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue have drafted a "Memorandum on the Issuance of Wanli Banknotes" and I would like to ask Your Majesty to review it."

The decision to increase the issuance of Baochao was made by the Ministry of Revenue, and such a large-scale issuance required the approval of His Majesty the Emperor. More importantly, a strict currency policy needed to be formulated to prevent Baochao from following the same fate as Hongwu Baochao.

"The Ministry of Revenue has been preparing this memorial since the printing of silver coins began." Zhu Yijun picked up the memorial and began to read it. The content of the memorial mainly focused on three aspects: private printing, indiscriminate issuance, and redemption.

"I feel bad about the chapter on private money. The first article states that those who privately print banknotes and mint coins will be charged with treason, and the main culprit will be executed, and the three clans will be punished as well. The main culprit will be beheaded, and the three clans' families will be exiled. The treatment is appropriate, but restrictions should be imposed. It will not apply to royal family members, royal relatives, military merits, high-ranking officials, and eunuchs." Zhu Yijun expressed his opinion.

"These eight laws were established by Emperor Taizu. Aren't they too harsh? Your Majesty, what should we do if Li Wei, the Earl of Wuqing, prints banknotes privately?" Wang Chonggu immediately asked in surprise and doubt.

This member of the royal family is also going to be executed? Isn't this ridiculous?!
Your Majesty does not have this problem with implicating three clans at the moment, after all, the Taoist priest has only one biological son, the late emperor. But in the future, there will definitely be cases where three clans will be implicated and the emperor will have to change the law at that time.

Moreover, if any royal relatives, such as Empress Dowager Li's father Li Wei, or Empress Dowager Li's brothers and sisters, printed money privately, the emperor would be implicated.

Moreover, the eunuchs could not privately seal the seal, which meant that the emperor could not privately seal the seal either. How could the Ming Dynasty law have any influence on the emperor?! Isn't this the opposite of the Heavenly Gang?
"If this really happened, I will pardon the relatives of the deceased without any punishment." Zhu Yijun said very clearly: "Looking at the corruption of Hongwu Baochao, 5 million guan of banknotes were exchanged in the 26th year of Hongwu, and it took six months to exchange them all. In just one month, nearly 10 million guan of new banknotes were exchanged. Where did these over-issued Hongwu Baochao come from? Why did Emperor Taizu Gao give up the investigation and the Baochao after investigating it?"

"Of course, the investigation has been carried out on the person who should not be investigated, Wang Ci Fu. Those who dare to privately print treasure notes are all members of the royal family, relatives of the emperor, military merits, ministers, and eunuchs. There is no one else. If these people are not restrained, the currency law will undoubtedly be corrupted."

The first degree refers to direct relatives, such as parents, children, and the queen's parents. Even brothers are only in the second degree. For example, Zhu Yiliu privately printed banknotes, so he was convicted as the principal culprit and executed. He could not be pardoned.

Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate to write the royal family and royal relatives in the official text, but it is better to write it in the inner court regulations."

The Neiyuan Regulations are the rules used by the Zongrenfu and the family rules of the Zhu family. For example, the feudal prohibitions are now recorded in the Neiyuan Regulations.

Zhang Juzheng's meaning was very clear: you are from the Zhu family and you will be dealt with according to the Zhu family rules.

The outer court is full of ministers, and it is really inappropriate for ministers to handle these things. No matter who handles it, he will be branded as a traitor and powerful minister.

For example, Zhang Juzheng was scolded by the censors, saying that in the Liaowang Mansion case in the second year of Longqing, Zhang Juzheng deliberately targeted the Liaowang. At that time, he was not even the second prime minister and could not embarrass the clan members.

"Okay, then let's remove the royal family and royal relatives from the Ming Dynasty Law and move them to the Inner Courtyard Laws." Zhu Yijun agreed with Zhang Juzheng's suggestion. The Inner Courtyard Laws were still very effective. After all, the vassal ban was enforced very well.

Only by limiting the abuse of power by the ruling class can the most basic fairness and justice be maintained. As long as basic fairness and justice still exist, the struggle will not be generalized. This is the reverse inference of the struggle volume.

The struggle volume has guiding significance for the Ming Dynasty. This is the main purpose of Zhu Yijun's decision to publish the third volume despite the stern opposition from Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet and the emperor's tutor. As for the fourth volume, it will only be effective when productivity develops to a certain stage. Zhu Yijun hopes that he can see the day when the fourth volume can be published before he dies.

"I am also dissatisfied with the second article of the bill issuance law." Zhu Yijun talked about the second article. He shook his head and said, "This article stipulates that the Governor-General's Office and the vassal areas cannot issue bills. I think the Governor-General's Office can issue bills because the Nagasaki Governor-General's Office is issuing the Wakoku Tongbao notes. It is better not to issue bills in the vassal development areas."

The second article is about specific functions. The law on issuing banknotes stipulates that only the Baoyuan Bureau, which is directly under the Ministry of Revenue, can issue banknotes. The Governor's Office, the vassal development areas and other colonies that are not in the hinterland are not allowed to issue banknotes.

"Your Majesty, this can be achieved by setting up a treasure banknote bureau in the Governor's Office." Wang Chonggu said with certainty: "Specifically, this article should be interpreted as the Governor's Office is not allowed to print banknotes, not that it is not allowed to issue banknotes."

Zhu Yijun understood this and realized Wang Chonggu's intention when he formulated the law. The Ming system was composed of departments directly under the imperial court and local departments. The emperor used the departments and local departments to rule, which was the foundation of the county system.

Zhu Yijun said with great certainty: "Then it should be written clearly. On such a major issue of right and wrong, which may even involve the major issue of rebellion, it is necessary to be careful about the wording. If the law is unclear, it will easily cause greater disasters. The Governor's Office is not allowed to print money, but it can perform the function of issuing money through the Baoyuan Bureau."

Zhang Juzheng explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the reason for such a vague definition is to allow the court to have more flexibility."

Wang Chonggu is an experienced official. He deliberately made the definition vague. It's not that he doesn't understand the importance of being pedantic. Isn't it because of your centralization of power that he deliberately wrote it so vaguely? Your Majesty has the right to interpret everything.

"That would only accelerate the disunity." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "The Governor's Office is a feudal system."

"In name it is still a county system." Zhang Juzheng shook his head, disagreeing with His Majesty's definition. Whether it was the Duke of Qian's Mansion or the Governor-General's Office of Luzon, there was no clear division of land. Even if it was actually a feudal system, it was still a county system in name. This involved the basic construction and narrative of the dynasty.

"I understand. Let's follow the decision of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue." Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and realized Wang Chonggu's good intentions in his vague definition, and chose to agree.

There were a total of forty articles in the law on issuing banknotes. Zhu Yijun inquired carefully about each one, and had in-depth exchanges of views with Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu, and made a comprehensive judgment. This was the emperor's duty to judge the basic direction of the law. Zhu Yijun's opinion was very important, but he would not demand changes regardless of the consequences. The entire decision-making process was a group decision.

After Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu left, Zhu Yijun stretched and said, "Please go to the Northern Pacification Office to see Tang Zhihan." "I obey your order." Feng Bao hurried to prepare.

In the misty drizzle, four small trains on the railway tracks winding out from Tonghe Palace blew their whistles, and then a very regular mechanical sound rang out. This was a three-horsepower small steam engine designed by Zhu Zaiyu specifically for the emperor. It was a circle larger than a desk and had little horsepower, but it was enough. It was mainly used for His Majesty to travel between Beidaying, Tonghe Palace, and the Imperial Palace. This was the emperor's special train.

The one who led the way was General Zhao Mengyou, the second car was the emperor, the third car was the eunuch, and the fourth car was the imperial cavalry.

The train could go all the way to the Meridian Gate. Zhu Yijun held an umbrella and headed towards the Northern Pacification Office.

"Good rain knows when to fall, and it happens in spring. Although it is late April, it is the season for wheat to head. Good rain, good rain." Zhu Yijun stood at the exit of the Meridian Gate, looking at the drizzle outside. He didn't know whether the prayers in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests had worked, but the rain fell at the right time.

Zhu Yijun came to the bright and clean Beizhenfusi. The atmosphere here should have been gloomy, but because the emperor always came here, it became much more upright. Beizhenfusi had undergone a reconstruction, and most of the cells had been renovated and most of them had windows added. Overall, it was more livable than before.

The Ming Emperor walked past a cell with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, then stopped, slowly retreated, and said with a smile: "Why was Li Yashi arrested again?"

The reason why it attracted the emperor's attention was that only this cell had "Legazi" written on the top and his Latin name below.

"Making inappropriate remarks." Zhao Mengyou quickly bowed his head and said.

"What did he say again?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

"He said that Your Majesty appears humble but is actually arrogant, just like most people in the Ming Dynasty." Zhao Mengyou said with certainty: "What he said is wrong, so after hearing it, I arrested him."

"You're right. People like this who gossip should be arrested and released." Zhu Yijun affirmed Zhao Mengyou's actions, but chose to forgive him.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. May your Majesty be in good health." Li Yashi did not suffer much. Although the cell was small, it had a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp.

Zhu Yijun walked to the desk. Li Yashi was performing his duties, translating astronomy from the West, "Mysteries of the Universe and Calculations" by Michael Mastlin, a professor of mathematics from the Margrave of Württemberg and the University of Tübingen.

Astronomy is the domain of God. Due to religious reasons, Michael's works cannot be published publicly. The Ming Dynasty was able to obtain this book thanks to Antonio and his Secretary of State Xu Fan, who took great pains to collect it.

Michael had a very famous student, the mathematician and astronomer Kepler.

"No need to be polite." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "You are wrong. I am not using superficial humility to cover up my inner arrogance. This understanding is too superficial. In the words of the Ming Dynasty, people cannot be arrogant, but they must have pride."

"Arrogance is something that appears arrogant and has a prominent aura, but in reality it is mostly just a waste of time. Pride is a person's inner qualities, including the morals that are naturally developed when growing up on this land. It is a principle that does not get arrogant when winning and does not get discouraged when losing."

Legazpi, who had been in Ming for a long time, immediately understood the emperor's explanation and said with some annoyance, "I don't know how to use precise words to describe this feeling. It's probably because I haven't learned enough. In fact, when I said this, I was discussing the difference between Ming and the West. The Spanish have too much pride and lack of pride, while the Ming have too much pride and not much pride."

Li Yashi has now become a Ming citizen, but he still deeply loves his homeland. Zhu Yijun allows this affection and even encourages it. Li Yashi compares the two huge empires of Ming and Spain, and he is still troubled by the predicament Spain has fallen into.

"Yes, Spain's problems are always so bad." Zhu Yijun said to Zhao Mengyou: "Let him go."

"Farewell, Your Majesty." Le Gasi bowed his head again and bid farewell to the emperor. Even if he had not met him today, he would not be imprisoned for too long, and he would not even stop his job as a translator. Receiving the emperor's salary without working was something the emperor could not tolerate, but it also meant that Le Gasi was not deprived of his official status.

Zhu Yijun finally met Tang Zhihan, a middle-aged man who looked particularly strong and muscular. However, four months in prison had made him look a little depressed.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant, pays homage. Long live Your Majesty." Tang Zhihan knelt on the ground and bowed five times and kowtowed three times. He was much more respectful than Li Yashi.

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk." Zhu Yijun gestured to Tang Zhihan to get up and sit beside the bed.

After taking a closer look, Zhu Yijun sat on the other side of the table and looked at Tang Zhihan for a while before asking, "Tang Zhihan, after you ran away from home, why did you go to the government office instead of looking for your life-and-death brothers? Don't you trust them?"

Tang Zhihan considered it for a moment before he said solemnly, "Even the person next to me has betrayed me. I am afraid of finding them. They have been bribed, so they have a chance of survival by running to the government office."

"You can't even trust your lifelong friends, how can you trust the justice of the court? Tang Zhihan, I don't believe you." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous. I have already made up my mind about your matter. What is the reason that you were beaten and bloodied and went to the government office?"

Tang Zhihan then spoke up, "Leave a way for the brothers to live. If they knew what happened to me, they would probably kill me directly. At that time, the court would definitely punish me severely. I have already become a joke, so there is no need to let the brothers die with me."

Zhu Yijun smiled even more brightly and said, "You treat them as brothers, and they treat you as their elder brother. Lu Cheng, the prefect of Zhangzhou Prefecture, reported that your brothers are also waiting for the court to sentence them, and several of them have already come to Beijing overnight. If there is anything wrong, I'm afraid they will do something extraordinary."

"The families of Liu and her adulterer are already under the watch of your brothers. If the court handles the matter unfairly, I'm afraid the whole family will be wiped out immediately."

"Confused." Tang Zhihan's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

"If I really sentenced you as an adulterer, then I would be foolish. Since I have brought all the criminals to the capital for trial, I think you are wronged. What you are worried about will not happen." Zhu Yijun said with a puzzled look: "After so many years, do you really know nothing about Liu and the adulterer?"

Zhu Yijun came here just to solve this doubt. It was a bit hard to understand that Tang Zhihan, who was so smart, was completely unaware of the fact that his partner had done something like this.

Tang Zhihan said with a painful expression, "I know. In the fourth year of Longqing, the old peak master Li Ruiqi gave me a boat to transport goods. The boat was intercepted, the goods were lost, and I didn't bring back any money. At that time, I had two sons, so Liu went to the small landlord Xu Zhenyi to borrow money. Xu Zhenyi took the opportunity to humiliate her. I thought she was unhappy, and later when I became rich, I thought their relationship was broken."

"I didn't expect..."

Tang Zhihan felt sorry for Liu. He thought that he was incompetent and made his wife suffer humiliation. It was because of this apology that he was biased towards her. However, he never expected that it was not the so-called humiliation at all, but it ended up like this.

The Ming Dynasty regarded the island as a mountain in the sea, so these big shipowners called them the Peak Master. Li Ruiqi was the previous general manager of Zhangzhou Ocean Trading Company and was very kind to Tang Zhihan.

Zhu Yijun nodded. Tang Zhihan was not a joke. If he died, there would really be people who would fight for him.

It's just that my sincerity was given to the wrong person. Not all sincerity can be rewarded.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not leave. Zhao Mengyou was going to the court to interrogate Liu and her adulterer Xu Zhenyi. Zhu Yijun was in the dark room behind the hall, listening to the case.

The interrogation process was not very smooth. Zhao Mengyou had never seen anyone so arrogant after entering the Northern Pacification Office in his life.

Liu refused to accept the greeting and shouted loudly, "Xu Lang and I are husband and wife. We have a marriage certificate. This is the marriage certificate issued by the government. Don't you think the government recognizes it now?!"

"Bang! Silence in the court!" Zhao Mengyou slammed the tiger-scare wake-up stick in his hand and reprimanded sternly. Before he opened his mouth to ask, Liu had already started to make a scene.

The sound of the wooden stick made Liu sober up a little.

Xu Zhenyi was so frightened that he was trembling with fear, his body was a little limp, and he was in an awkward position even when kneeling on the ground. But Liu refused to even greet him. Tang Zhihan was a ninth-rank official, and Liu was his wife, so she refused to kneel before the official in Zhangzhou Prefecture.

Fortunately, there was the Tiqi's killing stick at the side in the court of the Northern Pacification Office, otherwise, if she continued to roar like this, it would only make His Majesty laugh at her more.

"This Xu Zhenyi is your husband, then who is Tang Zhihan?" Zhao Mengyou asked with a frown.

Liu said loudly: "Xu Langlang and I are deeply in love, and Tang Zhihan is just a paying client!"

"If he really treated me as his first wife, why couldn't he see what I wanted? He always came back in a hurry, dropped off a bunch of silver, and then hurried off to do his own things the next day!"

"He doesn't understand me at all!"

In the court, everyone's eyes widened and looked at each other in disbelief. Even the Ming Emperor, who was sitting in the back hall, looked at Feng Bao in horror and shock.

The expression of true feelings is something that a person will never be able to achieve in his entire life!
"You mean, in the past 20 years, he has brought more than 1.6 million taels of silver into his home as money for prostitution?" Zhao Mengyou could not understand this line of thought at all. 1.6 million taels of silver, there are still some left in the tombs of three previous emperors, this amount of silver is not a small sum.

"Other husbands would take me to gardens and poetry gatherings, give me some surprises from time to time, and bring back some souvenirs from wherever they go. If Tang Zhihan cared about me, how could he come back empty-handed every time!" Liu said as a matter of course.

"Silver? You have nothing but silver? More than 1.6 million taels of silver!" Zhao Mengyou's train of thought during the interrogation was interrupted.

"I even gave birth to two sons for him." Liu said very dissatisfiedly: "General Ti, Tang Zhihan and I are divorced! We divorced at the beginning of last year, and we have a divorce certificate. Xu Lang and I have a marriage certificate, so we are husband and wife! Tang Zhihan is the adulterer! Doesn't the court recognize it?"

Zhao Mengyou nodded and said, "Yes, the court does not recognize it, but the fact of fraud exists."

"Ah?" Liu was stunned.
