The headmaster looked at them gratefully and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Chen and the Princess, for saving my life. If it weren't for you two, I and my daughter would have died."

Baili Ye said:

"You are welcome, Boss. We just happened to meet you and learned about your experience. Boss, can you tell me what happened?"

The boss sighed and said:

“Two years ago, the food for disaster relief from the south was transported here, but Cui Hao intercepted most of it, leaving less than one-third to be sent to the disaster area.

After I found out about this, I secretly collected evidence and wanted to report the matter to the court so that the people could get justice.

But who would have thought that Cui Hao got the news from somewhere and sent assassins to silence him several times.

I fought hard with my brothers, and although we escaped death several times, we also suffered heavy losses.

Later, Cui Hao held a banquet in the name of his mother's birthday, but he accidentally fell into his trap and ended up in his current situation.

Fortunately, before the incident, Huang hid all the evidence of Cui Hao's crime and gave the canal transport seal to his daughter.

If it weren't for His Highness and the Princess's help today, my father and I would have been in great danger." After saying this, the eldest master looked sad and angry.

Baili Ye frowned and said in a deep voice:

"This Cui Hao is so audacious that he embezzled the relief grain and disregarded the lives of the people.

This king will not let him go, and will report the matter to the court truthfully so that he will receive the punishment he deserves."

Huang Mingyan said from the side: "Dad, you don't know that during the two years you were in a coma, Cui Hao did all kinds of bad things. He has already been a person full of evil."

Qing He asked from the side: "Master, do you know which official in the capital is related to Cui Hao?"

The boss was silent for a moment and said:

"I heard from Cui Hao that his cousin is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing. But there is someone behind Minister Cui."

After hearing this, Qing He looked at Bai Li Ye and said, "Is this Minister Cui the biological father of Sister Ling Long?"

Baili Ye nodded and said, "That's right."

"I really didn't expect that Minister Cui is such a character." Qinghe said with emotion.

Baili Ye said solemnly:

"It seems that this matter involves a lot of people. We need to be careful. But no matter what, we can't let them continue to do evil. I will investigate Cui Hao and the people behind him thoroughly."

Qinghe nodded and said:

"Then we have to take a long-term view. We need to obtain solid evidence to catch them all at once, but we also need to prevent them from doing something even crazier when they are desperate."

The head of the family hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Princess, Huang is willing to cooperate fully. As long as these evildoers can be brought to justice, Huang will not hesitate to die."

Qing He looked at the big boss and said:

"In that case, thank you very much, Boss. I wonder if you can provide some available manpower? Also, are the officials here colluding with Cui Hao and others?"

The head of the family thought for a while and said:

"I can't guarantee the others, but Feng Kun and Li Jian are my close friends. Yan'er, bring me some writing materials. I will write a letter to them immediately. The prince and princess can trust them completely."

The eldest master then wrote two letters and handed them to Baili Ye, "My Lord, go to Zhulin Lane to find Feng Kun. He will know after reading the letters."

After that, he asked his daughter to take out the seal that symbolized the head of the family and gave it to Baili Ye, saying:

"Your Majesty, this is the seal of our canal transport. Seeing the seal is like seeing the person. Everyone in the canal gang will listen to you."

Baili Ye took the seal and nodded, saying, "I'll make a note of it."

Qing He stepped forward and said:

"The boss just needs to rest well now, and don't worry about other things for the time being. As for the evidence in your hand, it is safer to give it to King Chen first."

After that, he took out a few pills and handed them to Huang Mingyan, saying, "These are Rongyang Pills. The boss has just woken up and needs to rest well. Give him one pill a day, and he will be able to get out of bed and move around in three days."

After that, he took out two medicine bottles and continued:

"The white one is the smoke, the green one is the antidote.

You need to pay more attention during this period, and the boss will continue to pretend to be the same as before.

If there is danger, take the antidote first, then release the smoke, which can save your life at the critical moment."

Huang Mingyan said gratefully: "I've made note of it. Thank you, Princess, for the medicine."

Baili Ye looked at the father and daughter and said:

"Boss, you should take a good rest first and take care of your health. We will definitely bring Cui Hao to justice."

After Qinghe and Baili Ye finished explaining everything, they quietly left and slipped into space.

Baili Ye said: "Now that the boss has woken up, we have to collect evidence of Cui Hao's crime as soon as possible. Let's go to Cui Hao's house now?"

Qing He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The two of them turned on the teleportation function and arrived at Cui Mansion next door in an instant.

There was silence in the Cui Mansion, with only the occasional footsteps of patrolling servants.

According to the plan, they sneaked into Cui Hao's study.

There were various books and collectibles in the study, and the two began to search through them carefully.

Qinghe gently opened a drawer and found some letters, but the content did not directly involve evidence of the crime.

Baili Ye was searching on the bookshelf, and suddenly, he found that there seemed to be something hidden behind a book.

He carefully opened the book, revealing a secret compartment.

He opened the secret compartment and found an account book inside. He flipped through the book and saw some financial transactions from unknown sources.

"Qinghe, look at this." Baili Ye said in a low voice.

Qing He came over to take a look, his eyes lit up, "This is most likely the evidence we are looking for."

Just as they were about to continue to investigate further, they heard footsteps outside, getting closer and closer.

The two looked at each other and quickly flashed into the space.

The door was pushed open, Cui Hao walked in, and said to the servant following him:

"The matter in Ganzhou must be resolved quickly. No mistakes can be made. Tomorrow, be more vigilant about that batch of goods. I will personally watch over it."

The servant replied, "Yes, I understand."

"Okay, go down, and don't let anyone disturb me tonight."

"Yes." The servant bowed and left.

After the servant left, Cui Hao stayed in the study, seeming a little uneasy. He walked straight to the desk and sat down. After thinking for a moment, he opened a box, took out a letter and started reading.

After reading the letter, Cui Hao put it away, then stood up and walked to the antique display cabinet, touched a blue and white porcelain vase, turned it gently, and a door of the same color as the wall slowly opened.

Qinghe and Baili Ye followed Cui Hao in. The lights were on inside, and luminous pearls were inlaid on the walls, shining as brightly as day.

Cui Hao folded the letter and put it in a box. He left the secret room only after making sure it was safe.

After Cui Hao left, Qinghe and Baili Ye flashed out of the space and collected evidence in the secret room.

The two of them copied all the letters in the box. When they copied them, they found out who Cui Hao was in contact with.

"I didn't expect that Cui Hao had connections with these people. It seems that we have evidence."

After copying the letter, the two put the original into the space, searched for other evidence in the secret room, and found two account books in the secret compartment at the innermost part of the shelf.

It clearly records the transactions that Cui Hao has made in recent years by taking advantage of the convenience of water transport.

"This account book is strong evidence, take it." Qinghe said.

Baili Ye nodded and carefully handed the account book to Qinghe. Qinghe put the account book into the space and teleported out of the secret room.

At this time, Cui Hao was lying on a small couch in the study, completely unaware that the evidence that could cost him his life had been taken away quietly.

After Qinghe and Baili Ye left Cui's house, they teleported back to the inn in a few flashes.

The two took out several account books in the space and studied the contents carefully.

After some analysis, they found that the two newly discovered account books recorded Cui Hao's many crimes such as embezzlement, bribery, and abuse of power, which were completely consistent with what the boss said.
