Chapter 516: House Fight Turns into Thriller 55

After being subdued, Li Ba still roared and struggled unwillingly, but her strength was ultimately no match for the combined strength of the crowd, and she was eventually tied up tightly.

Liu Hui walked up to her and stared at her with a sharp gaze. She said, "Li Ba, look at how you look now, do you still look like a leader? Look at your brothers, they all chose to confess, but you are the only one who is still stubborn. Are you really not afraid of death?"

Li Ba stared at Liu Hui, her eyes full of hatred and anger. She said, "Liu Hui, don't think I'm afraid of you. I, Li Ba, have been in the martial arts world for so many years, and I've seen all kinds of storms. Even if I fall into your hands today, I won't surrender!"

Liu Hui shook her head, sighed and said, "Li Ba, you are too stubborn. What do you think your persistence will bring? Nothing but more pain and torture. You have only one way to go now, and that is surrender. As long as you are willing to confess and assist the court in catching those bigger criminals, I can plead with the emperor to spare your life."

Hearing this, Li Ba's eyes flashed with hesitation. But soon, she became firm again. She said, "Liu Hui, don't waste your breath. I, Li Ba, would rather die than surrender. If you want to kill me, just do it!"

Liu Hui looked at her and shook her head helplessly. She knew that people like Li Ba would not surrender easily unless they were in a desperate situation. So she decided to adopt another strategy.

She turned to Zhao Yong and said, "General Zhao, these people are now in your hands. You are responsible for interrogating them and making them confess. Remember, be patient and don't rush for results. As long as they are willing to cooperate, we can let bygones be bygones."

Zhao Yong replied respectfully, "Yes, Master Liu. I will do my best and will never let you down."

Liu Hui nodded, and then said to the others: "You all heard it. As long as you are willing to confess and help the court catch those bigger criminals, we can forgive you. But if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame us for being rude."

When those people heard this, they all lowered their heads. They knew that there was no way out now. Only by confessing the truth could they save their lives.

Therefore, in the next few days, Zhao Yong led people to interrogate these criminals. Under their coercion and inducement, those people confessed their crimes and provided clues about the bigger criminals.

Based on these clues, Liu Hui sent her confidants and "ghosts" to various places to capture those criminals. After some hard work, they finally caught all the criminals.

When Liu Hui stood in front of the criminals who had been arrested, her heart was filled with the joy of victory. She knew that they had fought a great battle. Not only did they recover the border, but they also eliminated a major hidden danger to the court.

She looked at the criminals and said coldly, "You, as officials appointed by the court, colluded with criminals and became accomplices of the evil. Your actions have aroused the emperor's wrath. But the emperor, considering that you have served the country, decided to give you a chance to reform. As long as you are willing to confess and help the court catch those bigger criminals, the emperor can forgive you. But now, you no longer have this opportunity. What awaits you will be endless imprisonment and the threat of death."

When the criminals heard this, they all showed horrified expressions. They knew that there was no way out now. They could only save their lives by obediently following Liu Hui's arrangements.

Therefore, in the following days, Liu Hui conducted a detailed interrogation and investigation of these criminals. She not only wanted to understand their crimes, but also their backgrounds and networks. Only in this way could she completely eradicate this huge criminal group.

After a lot of hard work, Liu Hui finally got enough evidence and information. She made a list of all the criminals and submitted it to the emperor. The emperor was shocked when he saw the list. She didn't expect that there were so many criminals in her court.

She immediately ordered the arrest of all these criminals and conducted a severe trial. Those with serious crimes were sentenced to death, while those with less serious crimes were demoted to commoners or exiled to the frontier.

After this incident, the prestige of the imperial court was greatly enhanced. And those officials and generals who had colluded with lawbreakers were punished accordingly. They not only lost their status and power, but also bore the eternal infamy.

Liu Hui was rewarded by the emperor for her outstanding performance in this incident. She was promoted to a higher official position and gained more power and resources. Her "ghosts" were also promoted and rewarded for their outstanding military exploits.

However, for Liu Hui, these honors and status are not the most important. She values ​​the safety of the country and the well-being of the people more. She knows that only when the country is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment can there be true prosperity.

Therefore, in the following days, Liu Hui continued to work hard to rectify the government, eliminate corruption, develop the economy, and strengthen the national strength. She not only wanted to make the court clear and fair, but also to make the country strong and prosperous.

Thanks to her efforts, corruption in the court was greatly curbed. Those officials and generals who were once domineering became cautious and tread carefully. And the people became more supportive of the court and the emperor because they were treated justly and fairly.

The country's economy has also developed rapidly. Agriculture, handicrafts, commerce and other fields have made remarkable progress. The country's fiscal revenue has increased significantly, and the people's living standards have also been greatly improved.

Liu Hui watched all these changes with great satisfaction and pride. She knew that all this was the result of the joint efforts of her and her "ghosts". They not only recovered the border, but also changed the fate of the entire country.

However, she also knows that this is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go, and there are still many challenges and difficulties waiting for her to overcome. But she believes that as long as she and her "ghosts" work together and move forward courageously, they will be able to create a better future.

In the days that followed, Liu Hui continued to devote herself to the construction and development of the country. She not only wanted to make the country stronger and more prosperous, but also to let the people live a happier and more fulfilling life.

She implemented a series of reform measures, including reducing taxes, building water conservancy projects, and developing education. These measures were warmly welcomed and supported by the people. They knew that these reforms were all for the purpose of giving them a better life.
