With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Qian Qian looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in his forties wearing official uniform, with his back straight and a stern face.

The man looked at Qian Qian critically, secretly.

Behind him were three people, two women and one man, all dressed in official uniforms.

Their faces were serious and their eyes were slightly lowered, making it difficult to see their expressions.

Qian Qian looked directly at the Lord of Miao City, "Zheng Chengyi, Lord of Miao City."

She also examined the person in front of her, "You, the city lord, are quite dedicated, but you are not decisive enough in doing things."

Qian Qian pressed on, "Since you knew about Zhoucun's incident, why didn't you report it to the court earlier?"

"If you had reported the incident at Langyue Palace to the court earlier, I believe many innocent women would have been saved."

Qian Qian was serious about what he said. If Zheng Chengyi, the Lord of Miao City, paid more attention to the affairs of Zhoucun.

If he had been brave enough to submit a memorial to the court requesting support, as long as Xiao Ying saw his memorial, he would have spared no effort to send troops to Zhoucun to deal with those beasts in Langyue Palace.

But he didn't, he wasted a lot of time on consideration and checks and balances.

The bones piled up like a small mountain in the cave, the bones she had personally picked up and pieced together and solemnly placed in the coffin...

Qian Qian closed his eyes and felt a dull pain in his heart.

In the courtyard in midsummer, cicadas chirp and birds sing one after another.

Zheng Chengyi looked at Qian Qian with displeasure, and Qian Qian looked straight at him without avoiding.

Zheng Chengyi looked at the silver-haired old woman in front of him, and that look frightened him.

He just couldn't believe that the person who made the incident at Haoshan Langyue Palace known was actually an old woman.

According to Lord Lu and others, the old woman is over seventy years old.

But she was in good spirits, with bright eyes, an upright figure and powerful steps.

Even his appearance is very outstanding, you can't tell that he is a man in his seventies.

Zheng Chengyi lowered his head slightly, frowned, and thought about how he should deal with such a powerful person.

[Tongzi,] Qianqian didn't know what Zheng Chengyi wanted to do, so he asked, [What is Zheng Chengyi thinking about?]

The system smiled, [He wanted to suppress the matter of Haoshan Langyue Palace, but Lu Yu and the others suggested that everything Langyue Palace did should be made public.]

[Zheng Chengyi and Lu Yu had a big disagreement on this point, and neither side would give in.]

Money money...

[Oh, then why didn't Zheng Chengyi want to make public what Langyue Palace did in Haoshan? ]

[Because,] the system sneered, [face.]

[He thought that since those girls were no longer around, he might as well give them some dignity.]

Without waiting for Qian Qian to taunt him, the system immediately said, "In fact, Zheng Chengyi just doesn't want to admit that such evil things really happened under his rule."

[He also wants to escape.]

【Hmph,】 Qian Qian snorted coldly, 【Escape! 】

[Yes, escape. ]

The system took a deep breath, [Zheng Chengyi has learned a lot about Zhoucun over the years. ]

[However, as for the matter of the Mountain God's Bride, he always thought it was a legend spread by the villagers.]

[On the one hand, I didn’t believe it, and on the other hand, I had never actually verified it. ]

[Even because of the special situation in Zhoucun, he has not conducted a serious population survey in recent years.]

[After the bodies of so many girls from Hao Mountain were buried in Fuyao Mountain with great fanfare. ]

[He then realized how wrong he had been over the years, and deep down he was actually extremely regretful and self-blaming.]

[However, as an official and a man, his self-esteem did not allow him to have the courage to make all the truth about Haoshan public.]

[He was afraid. He was afraid that after the people knew the truth, they would vent all their anger on him.]

[He was also afraid that the image he had built up over the years would collapse in one day, and he was even more afraid that he would be infamous forever because of this incident.]

Qian Qian rubbed his eyebrows, not wanting to waste time with Zheng Chengyi.

"Lu Yu," looking at Lu Yu, "tell Zheng Chengyi my identity, and make sure to make the matter of Haoshan public."

Zheng Chengyi took a step forward and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qian Qian, "As for Mr. Zheng's dereliction of duty, he will be dealt with according to the law."

"You old woman, who do you think you are?"

As soon as Qian Qian finished speaking, a small figure suddenly emerged from the corner of the courtyard.

The little guy ran to Qian Qian and spread his arms to block Zheng Chengyi, "You old woman, don't bully my dad."

Money money...

He lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him, who was about five or six years old. The little girl's pair of almond-shaped eyes were very smart.

Qian Qian puffed up her cheeks angrily and tilted her head to look at her, "Zheng Chengyi is your father?"

"Yes."

The little girl admitted it generously and shouted, "You are not allowed to bully my dad."

"But because of your father's fault, many innocent girls were killed by bad guys."

"You, you're lying."

The little girl's face was full of disbelief and she looked at Qian Qian fiercely.

Qian Qian's face was serious. "If what I said is true, what do you think should happen?"

The fierce look that the little girl was trying to hold back was a little too much, and Zheng Chengyi lowered his head to look at the top of his daughter's head.

The string that had been tense in his heart these days finally broke, and he staggered a few steps.

He took a few deep breaths, squatted down and picked up his daughter, "Child, child, it was Dad who did something wrong. It was Dad,"

【Alas,】 Qian Qian looked at the father and daughter, 【Tongzi, who is Zheng Chengyi?】

[Although he is a man who seeks fame and reputation, he is generally a good official because he values ​​his reputation.]

[Let Lu Yu and his team handle this matter. Zheng Chengyi will probably be transferred to a remote and impoverished place this time.]

[How should I put it? It actually suits him very well. ]

[When he truly understands the sufferings of the people, he will definitely become a good official in the future.]

Qian Qian nodded, gave Lu Yu a look, and pulled A Ying and Ji Wuyou, "Let's go, take me to the bedroom."

"I'm really tired. I need to have a good sleep."

Lu Yu looked at His Majesty, who was surrounded by beauties on both sides, with eyes full of jealousy, his eyes were almost spitting fire.

"Ahem," Hadir patted Lu Yu's shoulder, "The more capable you are, the more work you will do. I'll go and talk to His Majesty."

Hadir looked at Lu Yu with a sneer, then turned around and chased after His Majesty and the others.

Lu Yu glared at Hadir's back fiercely, then looked at Nazi.

Nazi deliberately covered her lips and yawned, "I will go to sleep with Your Majesty for a while."

Then he turned and left.

Lu Yu...

They all took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Chengyi, "Come with me, the matter of Zhoucun must be resolved."

Zheng Chengyi let go of his daughter and rubbed her chubby hands. "Good girl, it was Daddy who made the mistake this time."

"If you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences."

Zheng Yuan tilted her head and looked at her father. She stretched out her hands and rubbed his face. "Don't be afraid, Dad. Mom said that knowing one's mistakes is the best way to improve."

"Dad, Yuanyuan will correct your mistakes together with you."

Zheng Chengyi's eyes were red. He stood up holding his daughter and nodded to Lu Yu, "Master Lu, please."

Lu Yu also made a gesture of invitation, and when everyone turned around, Zheng Chengyi glanced in the direction Qian Qian left.

He whispered, "Who is it really?"

"Yes," Lu Yu gave him an affirmative answer.

Zheng Chengyi turned around with his daughter in his arms and bowed deeply in the direction where Qian Qian left...

Qian Qian, A Ying, Ji Wuyou and others had finished their meal and were about to go to bed when a secret guard came to report, "Madam, Jiu'er is missing..."
