The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

The people on the ground hurriedly got up, their faces filled with fear.

The governor of the prefecture was already ill and could not stand steadily at all, and almost fell back.

The servant was quick to support him and made him sit on the chair.

The governor of the prefecture wanted to get up in panic.

"Sit down."

Song Xiwan gave the order in a firm tone, and no one was allowed to refuse.

The governor shuddered and dared not move.

After all these years in officialdom, he was still very good at observing people's words and expressions, and the impatience on the princess's face was already obvious.

Seeing that the man was finally honest, Song Xiwan asked for details.

The governor explained in detail one by one.

The main problem was with Xie Yi. Of course, he didn't dare to tease her in front of the princess, and he politely said that Xie Yi was too aggressive.

But he is too old to keep up with the pace!

The governor said tearfully, "I understand your princess's desire to solve the case. No one wants to find the missing silver more than I do. However, I am truly powerless and ashamed of my duty. I resign and return home."

Song Xiwan twitched the corner of his mouth.

She really didn't expect that Xie Yi was so powerful that he actually forced the governor of the state, who had just taken office, to want to retire and return home.

It was not easy to be promoted to this official position. It can be said that it took the governor half his life.

She said helplessly: "The governor is too kind."

"No, no, no! I'm serious. Please have mercy, Princess!"

The governor of the state felt that if he continued like this, his life would be in danger, so he might as well quit being an official.

Song Xiwan felt a little embarrassed when she saw the governor's all too real panic expression.

She originally just wanted to find something for Xie Yi to do, but ended up pushing him into a desperate situation.

There are many rivers in Jingzhou, and it is difficult to search for things in the water. If you are lucky, you may find it in a few days, but if you are unlucky, it is not uncommon to spend several months looking for it.

From the beginning, Song Xiwan never considered that he could find it too early.

Thanks for that...

She had a terrible headache and simply said, "Come here, bring me some thanks."

"Yes."

The guard agreed and was about to do it when a figure ran in from outside the door.

Xie Yi's voice came from afar, "What do you want to talk to me about? It just so happens that I have something to tell you. Eh? Why is the governor here? Didn't he say he was sick?"

Song Xiwan clearly saw that when the governor heard the voice of thanks, his body was shaking like a sieve.

Especially after hearing the last sentence, the officials in the provincial government wanted to cry.

Song Xiwan could only say, "The governor said you've been busy investigating the missing silver lately, but have you made any progress? If not, don't be discouraged, just take your time."

Xie Yi was so enthusiastic that Song Xiwan felt embarrassed to disappoint him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yi was so excited, "That's exactly what I wanted to say! There's something going on with Baiyin's matter, and I want you to come over and take a look!"

This immediately made Song Xiwan and the governor look surprised.

"found it?"

Xie Yi said carefully, "I found a little bit."

His men only found a few pieces of silver from the bottom of the water, which was far from the full 100,000 taels, so the case could not be closed.

The governor of the prefecture could no longer sit still. His pale face quickly turned rosy. "They actually found it! Send more people!"

Song Xiwan: “…”

Who just said that he wanted to retire and return home?

Xie Yi was also a little worried. "Sir, you don't look well, so just take a rest. I'll take care of this matter."

"no!"

The governor of the prefecture has been tortured for so long and almost lost his life. How can he watch such an opportunity to make a contribution slip through his fingers?

He stood up suddenly, as if a lot of strength had been injected into his body.

Song Xiwan also wanted to see if the batch of silver was really found, so she did not stop the governor. However, she was still worried about his health, so she asked someone to send him medicine to treat his cold.

The governor's eyes became even more moist, and he thanked the princess and swallowed the wine.

Soon, he felt that the fatigue in his body had dissipated a lot.

The princess is quite kind-hearted!

The three of them went to the Wuyou River outside Jingzhou City. There were already many government officials operating there, and a lot of silver had been salvaged from the ground.

It doesn't look fake.

The governor stumbled over, and Xie Yi was a little worried when he saw him like that. "Is he really okay?"

Song Xiwan glanced at him silently, "You ask me?"

It was clearly a thank you for making the governor into this state.

Xie Yi saw something strange in her eyes and scratched his head, "Who should I ask then?"

He is as stupid as ever. I don't know how Xie Yi has such control over the governor.

Song Xiwan was too lazy to explain in detail to Xie Yi and walked towards the shore.

The silver on the ground was still covered with dense water droplets, and it could be seen that it had just been salvaged. The governor of the state was lying on the ground, carefully examining the silver.

Then there was a strange laugh.

"Yes, Princess, it really is the lost silver! It even has the official seal on it!"

Song Xiwan raised her eyebrows slightly, called the person over and asked a few questions, "What's going on underwater?"

The yamen runner said, "We found a sunken ship. Inside, there was a lot of silver tied up in cloth bags to prevent it from being lost. This must have been arranged by the former governor."

Sure enough.

Song Xiwan nodded slightly, but didn't have time to say anything.

Xie Yi was so angry that his teeth itched and he said, "This person is too evil. He refused to tell me the whereabouts of this batch of silver until his death. If I weren't smart, I really wouldn't be able to find it."

Song Xiwan: “…”

The governor of the prefecture said in a hurry that he would submit a memorial to the imperial court, and he did not look sick at all.

And gratitude urged them to continue the salvage.

This had nothing to do with Song Xiwan, so she simply ignored it.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengqian also came.

Song Xiwan asked jokingly, "Why? Did this little report even reach you?"

Xie Chengqian nodded calmly, "Well, Xie Yi sent someone to say that they've found the silver?"

"He still doesn't miss a single one. With such drive, it would be a shame if he didn't become an official."

Song Xiwan shook her head helplessly. She never thought that when they first met, Xie Yi would become like this today. He was clearly a brainless royal kid.

Of course, it is impossible to serve as an official in the court just to express gratitude.

Xie Chengqian said: "He is not suitable for attending court every day. He is busy traveling outside. Being a governor is still okay for him."

Song Xiwan looked at him in surprise.

"Do you really have this idea?"

"Ah."

This response made Song Xiwan look closely at Xie Chengqian's stern face. After a long pause, he said, "The world's misunderstanding of you is too profound."

What cold-bloodedness? It's obvious that he is softer than anyone else at heart.

Xie Chengqian's eyes were calm as he gently held her in his arms and said softly, "As long as you understand me, that's all."

Other people's opinions are never important.

Song Xiwan agreed from the bottom of her heart.

After the Baiyin case was solved, the two of them also worked hard to promote the establishment of a girls' school.
