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

Only the Seventh Princess would dare to say this.

Anyone else, even Prince An, would not say such harsh words in front of the emperor.

Even the emperor himself, hearing words like "local tyrant", the smile on his face when he saw his outstanding children faded, but he did not get angry with the Seventh Princess.

Just at this time Fang Xin came in, asked the emperor for instructions, and then whispered a few words to Li Qingyi. Li Qingyi hesitated for a moment, but still said goodbye to his father and brothers and sisters and left first.

When Li Qingyi was present, the emperor's expression was relatively gentle.

But as soon as she left, the emperor's face suddenly turned cold, but it was not directed at his children.

He asked, "Did you two find out about Huang Hu?"

When the Seventh Princess heard this, she could tell there was something else going on. She asked curiously, "Does the Emperor know about this?"

As she spoke, her eyes rolled, and she thought of some of the conversations she had vaguely heard when she turned back just now, and then she said, "It seems like a coincidence that I ran into the person who filed a complaint with the emperor?"

The emperor did not hide it and nodded slightly.

Prince An frowned.

Emperor: "Yier was sad for a while because of this person. Although I saw that she has recovered just now, I am afraid she is still a little depressed."

Emperor: "I was thinking that since you are back, why not take some time to accompany her, but now it seems that I would rather let you go and help her vent her anger."

Needless to say, Li Qingyi was unhappy. As an insider, the Seventh Princess knew with a little thought that it was probably because of the system.

She said, "I was wondering why my sister wasn't as lively as before. So that's why. I just wonder what she heard. Is it related to what we just found out?"

The emperor asked, "What did you hear?"

The Seventh Princess turned her head and looked at Prince An. Prince An took a step back and motioned for the Seventh Princess to come over.

This was actually a credit, but the information they had just gathered by chance was mostly contributed by the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess, and Prince An had a small part in this matter.

Afterwards, the emperor listened quietly to the seventh princess's narration. His expression did not change, but his aura was very suppressed, and he was intimidating without even getting angry.

Although what the Seventh Princess and the others heard was not as detailed as what the system said, after they entered the city in disguise, they keenly noticed some places on the streets that were a little different from those of the people in the capital, and they inquired about them without making a sound.

Although most people hesitated and were unwilling to tell them in response to their curious inquiries, there were always some people who saw that the Seventh Princess was a woman and, out of kindness, advised the Seventh Princess not to stay in the local area for too long and to leave as soon as possible for safety.

Then, the Seventh Princess used a little trick and finally got out some shocking information - if the women here were ordinary, it would be fine, but if there was an extremely beautiful girl with no support behind her, she would most likely be sent to Huang Hu's bed by his subordinates in various ways.

Nowadays, women's chastity is highly valued. Although it is not to the extent that a woman must die if she loses her chastity, once she loses her chastity, no matter what the reason is, the rest of her life is basically over.

Huang Hu and his younger brothers took advantage of this. As long as they could get beautiful women into bed with them, whether by force or deception, then even if the truth was revealed later, those poor women would have to compromise in order to survive.

Because they will not target those families who have people to rely on, but specifically target those women who come from poor backgrounds or are single. Therefore, these women are often unable to resist. At most, they will commit suicide out of shame and anger. As long as the news is well concealed and others are afraid of death and dare not say anything, then everything will be fine.

But this was not the only trick. There was also the kind where Huang Hu would target a woman from a family and have someone trick her father or brother into joining his gambling house, making them owe a huge debt. He would then ask them to sell the daughter to pay off the debt, and that would work.

The Seventh Princess said, "I am not just doing this for the innocent women who were bullied. Father, just looking at the situation, I feel that if Huang Hu had not gained a certain degree of control over this place, he would not have been able to continue to act like this for many years."

Seventh Princess: "In addition, I have also heard that there seem to be many deaths in the gambling houses and brothels in the city. Someone hinted to me that the thugs in the gambling houses are mostly desperate criminals who changed their names and acted as accomplices to the evil here. Once something happens and they are investigated, the gambling houses will send them to the government, saying that they were deceived..."

If Li Qingyi were here and heard these words, he would probably understand that this is the ancient version of a temporary worker.

The emperor frowned: "Does the local government not care?"

The Seventh Princess and Prince An looked at each other, and the Seventh Princess hinted, "You really won't say anything?"

Prince An shook his head slightly.

The Seventh Princess had no choice but to continue answering the Emperor: "My fourth brother and I also quietly went around the government office. We don't know what's going on inside the government office, but we met a beggar in a corner."

"The beggar claimed to be a local. When his father and brother were still alive, his family had a little wealth and supported a scholar. He passed the examination and was going to continue preparing for the exam. However, he offended Huang Hu and his family was ruined in one day."

"The whole family, including hired maids, had eleven people in total. He was the only one who escaped from home because he was too playful and had no worries."

"Later, in order to seek revenge, the beggar hid his real name and mixed in with the beggars, hoping to collect evidence of Huang Hu's crimes so that he could file a complaint with the emperor in the capital."

After a pause, the Seventh Princess said, "He must have discovered that my identity is different from that of Fourth Brother. Although I could hear that he was hiding something in his words, he was still sincere, so he brought him back. He should still be washing up now."

Upon hearing this, the emperor put aside the beggar's words for the time being, tapped the table lightly, and said to the Seventh Princess: "Have you seen that Qian Niang?"

The Seventh Princess shook her head: "Not yet."

The emperor said: "Go and meet him, and come back and tell me your opinion later."

The Seventh Princess was a little surprised, but still nodded, "Then shall I go now?"

The emperor raised his hand and motioned for her to go quickly.

So the Seventh Princess looked at Prince An again.

Before Prince An opened his mouth, the emperor said, "You go now. I have something important to tell your brother."

Hearing this, the Seventh Princess shrugged and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

After the Seventh Princess left, the Emperor asked his fourth son, "Little Seven only noticed how the Yellow Tiger oppressed the people. What about you? Did you notice anything else?"

Prince An pondered for a moment and said, "If it were just an ordinary street thug, it would be difficult to control the spread of this news. Since Huang Hu can have a certain deterrent effect on the surrounding people, regardless of whether he has soldiers or not, he is likely to be a bandit or not."

Prince An: "I think that if you want to be on the safe side, your father should order the generals to be on high alert."
