The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

00 chapter

After this little episode, Hu Ping'an began to talk about the third reason he came to Beijing.

Hu Pingan: "The third reason I came to the capital was to file a complaint with the emperor."

Several people were stunned.

The room fell into silence for a moment.

Then, several people looked at Li Qingyi.

Speaking of filing a complaint...

Li Qingyi frowned: "Sue the emperor? Who are you going to sue? What's the matter?"

Hu Ping'an: "Reporting that Jia Youming, the Left Provincial Governor of Henan, was reckless in killing people, harboring criminals... and secretly communicating with Japan."

Li Qingyi's eyebrows twitched.

She was able to remain calm when thinking about the first two items, but when she heard the last one, her eyebrows started twitching.

"What's the matter with the secret communication with Japan?"

Hu Pingan took a deep breath and said, "If I didn't trust the teacher and some old classmates, I wouldn't dare to tell you about this."

"As far as I know, Jia Youming has a backer in Beijing, and the backer is not small, so he is also very popular in Henan. After taking office, no matter whose achievements are, he has to be given some achievements. I heard that Jia Youming's performance evaluation in the past two years has relied on these."

Hu Ping'an: "The disregard for human life and the hiding of criminals are actually somewhat related to the previous downfall of the Yang family. I have also been targeted by Jia Youming several times, either openly or secretly. It feels a bit strange, so I asked the Qingyi Guards and the Imperial Envoy who had contact with our family before to see if they could help me find out where I offended this Lord Jia."

Hu Ping'an: "After a few days, the imperial envoy told me that I didn't need to worry about it. Jia Youming wouldn't really do anything to me. At most, he would be an official in Henan for a few years. I just need to be more restrained."

After a pause, Hu Pingan continued, "I remember you told me last time that the imperial envoy was a close confidant of the emperor."

At that time, when Hu Ping'an realized that the imperial envoy seemed to have noticed something and was clearly leaning towards Jia Youming, he felt a chill in his heart.

If Hu Ping'an was really just the son of a local gentry, he might have no choice but to endure it when encountering such a thing.

After all, he has now registered with the emperor. As long as he is busy with sweet potatoes, others will not dare to touch him easily, because touching him may attract the emperor's attention.

As for occasionally making a few sarcastic remarks in private, or giving him a hard time on some unimportant matters, even if such matters were heard by the emperor, the distance between Henan and the capital was so great that Jia Youming would have enough time to prepare a suitable excuse.

If Hu Ping'an had not contacted Li Qingyi, he might have tried to avoid the limelight in order to protect his family. He would not have gone directly to Beijing to find his "backers" as he did now.

Hu Ping'an: "I actually hid my whereabouts when I came to Beijing this time."

After noticing that the imperial envoy's attitude was not right, Hu Ping'an was worried that those Qingyi Guards who, for some unknown reason, had not left yet would be like the imperial envoy and turn a blind eye to some of Jia Youming's affairs.

However, these blue-clad guards did not disappoint Hu Ping'an.

Although the Qingyi Guards didn't have to pay attention to what Hu Ping'an asked them to do, their immediate superior was the emperor. Not to mention that Hu Ping'an was still a commoner for the time being, the Qingyi Guards could also ignore the orders of the imperial envoy who was sent to deal with the Yang family.

However, because Hu Ping'an had left a good impression on the brothers of the Qingyiwei when he had contacted them before, and because Jia Youming's attitude was indeed a bit strange, and the Qingyiwei was supposed to collect information from all over the place for the emperor, under these comprehensive circumstances, they actually went to investigate.

Then, two of the ten remaining Green Guards disappeared inexplicably.

Then, one night, Hu Ping'an saw a half-dead Qingyiwei, and learned from him the private relationship between Jia Youming and the Yang family, and... Jia Youming secretly sent someone to steal the sweet potatoes that Hu Ping'an placed in the warehouse and gave them to the Japanese spies.

Hu Pingan took a deep breath, and when he said this, he was obviously very angry. "Actually, if he was angry at me because of his old friendship with the Yang family, I wouldn't be so angry. But he just casually gave the sweet potatoes I worked so hard to grow to that Japanese spy. I was really angry."

"Jia Youming accepted a box of gold from the spy and gave away my grain seeds. When I think of what Japan did in my previous life, I really can't help it."

Hu Ping'an wiped his face as he spoke: "Why did I leave my good life as a young master to work so hard in the fields? Was it for Japan? I just couldn't stand it! I couldn't stand the people of this era having such a hard time getting enough to eat!"

"What the hell! Why? We haven't even had any of it yet, but he's giving it to Japan? What does that mean? Do you think the people of Henan don't deserve it?"

Hu Pingan: "If I had the ability, I would have rushed over to beat Jia Youming up, and then brought him directly to the capital!"

Li Qingyi: "...No, it's a good thing you didn't do that."

Hu Ping'an is a commoner now, and Jia Youming is an official. No matter what Jia Youming did, before the emperor spoke, if Hu Ping'an, as a commoner, really attacked Jia Youming, the official, he would definitely be beaten with a stick.

This is the rule. If anyone could attack an official out of anger, things would be a mess.

Li Qingyi: "If you really do that, things will be difficult to handle."

Wang Xuan also said, "Yes, it's not a good idea to act impulsively. You didn't really do anything to Jia Youming, did you?"

"No." Hu Ping'an shook his head. "I was just emotional at the time, but in order to find someone to treat the Qingyi Guard, I didn't have time to bother Jia Youming. After that time, I calmed down. I still have my family to consider. If I really ran over on impulse, I don't know if I can live to see you all."

"I came to the capital this time because the Qingyi Guards helped me disguise myself. They took my identity and moved around Qingshan County. I came here to find a way to file a complaint with the emperor."

"However, before I came here, Lord Zhang told me not to tell anyone about Jia Youming and the Yang family until I actually meet the crown prince or the emperor."

"Master Zhang is worried that I might leak the news in advance, which would put my life in danger. After all, Master Zhang and his men don't know whether the person behind Jia Youming knows what Jia Youming is doing and is secretly protecting him."

"If a small person like me faces such a complicated and intertwined force, I will be nothing but cannon fodder."

Hu Pingan sighed: "I can't tell Master Zhang about your affairs, teachers."
