Peng Ji coughed twice, and said in a slightly cold voice, "My son-in-law, continue."

She was reminding her son-in-law, don't forget that you are handling a case at this time, and she doesn't care, but she is afraid that you will lose your head.

Sure enough, this reminder was still useful, she glanced at Peng Ji with a deep smile, that look seemed to tell the other party, don't be afraid, Your Highness, prison wine is very gentle, not fierce at all.

But when he turned his gaze and looked at Fang Wen who was kneeling on the ground, his face changed suddenly, with a serious face and a serious look.

Fortunately, except for that Qi Shilang who has been silently watching Peng Ji's side, saw this scene.

The rest of the people were either afraid to look up, or they were thinking more about what the truth was.

However, not many people saw that face-changing appearance.

After all, Fa Yi was the one who already knew the general circumstances of the case. She just suffered from lack of evidence, and now suddenly an account book appeared. It was simply God helping her.

She originally wanted to get up and take the account book, but Peng Ji seemed to know her intentions, reached out and pressed her hand, gave Zhuxiang behind her a look, and the latter stepped forward to take the account book.

After getting the account book, Fa Yi turned two pages, and his face became more solemn, "Fang Wen, this case has been accepted by the official, and I will investigate it clearly. Now you go back first, and the official will send someone to I will protect you day and night, go down."

Chapter 55

That Fang Wen kowtowed three times, shouted again, "The villain thanked Her Royal Highness, thanked the son-in-law" and then withdrew.

Sweat dripped from the forehead of Hong Zheng, the new prefect who had not been involved, and his hands were still trembling.

Seeing his timid appearance, Peng Ji couldn't help wondering what kind of eyes her father was looking at now, how could she appreciate such a useless person, and proposed him as the prefect of Quanzhou.

Peng Ji sighed helplessly, and called out, "Lord Hong."

Her tone was normal, but it still made Hong Zheng kneel in fright, "My minister is here."

Seeing him like this, Peng Ji didn't bother to ask her to get up, "Now you can explain clearly about the refugees."

The Quanzhou prefect then explained everything he learned when he took office.

He was afraid that if the magistrate he had just been promoted to was implicated in this matter and lost his official position, the gain would outweigh the loss.

At this time, a bigger one came. As long as he insisted on reporting the truth and never concealed it, even if something really happened, there would be a bigger one on his head.

Furthermore, when he was the county magistrate, he was in a county below Jingzhou, and he had heard all the years that Her Highness Peng Ji was very generous, and was once regarded as the number one noble lady in Jingzhou by the noble ladies of Jingzhou.

Such a person of high moral character, how can he let himself be a scapegoat.

The Quanzhou refugee incident was not as serious as it spread to Jingzhou, but a small group of people ran out from the counties below, and they all came to Quanzhou to beg for food. The former magistrate was afraid of causing trouble, so he and the governor of Wanggangting After discussing, these people were called to the port to work as coolies. Later, for some reason, the merchants in the port did not pay these workers wages, but only gave them enough food. These people also accepted it in order to survive.

Later, for some reason, I stopped doing it and just did two things all day long.

One is to make trouble at the gate of the magistrate's yamen, and the other is to make trouble at the gate of Wanggangting yamen.

Since Liu Qian's death, there were fewer visits from the prefect's yamen, so they surrounded the Wanggang Pavilion and made noise all day long.

After hearing this, Peng Ji knew what was going on, and she was afraid that someone behind the whole incident was manipulating everything, so she breathed a sigh of relief.Someone manipulated it, which shows that it is not the common people who want to oppose her Dugu Dynasty.

For such a small disturbance, she only needs to find out the truth and find out who is behind the scenes, and the group will automatically disband.

At that time, we will solve the problem of food and clothing for these people, find jobs for them, and let them earn money for food, and then this matter will be solved.

As for finding out the truth, she has the most powerful evil god in Tianjin, so is there anything she can't find out?

Just as she was about to announce that everyone was retreating, Liu Chunxi, who had been silent all this time, got up.

"Your Highness, Liu Qian is the uncle of the same family and clan as Weichen. I beg Your Highness to allow Weichen to collect his bones."

The remains of a corrupt official, Peng Ji is not interested in embarrassing, so she wants to accept it.

"Is Liu Qian Lord Liu's uncle?" Fa Yi was a little interested.

When her people checked on Liu Qian, they didn't notice that a small Quanzhou magistrate had something to do with Liu's family in Jingzhou.

Liu Chunxi nodded, "Prefect Liu's grandfather is the concubine of the Liu family, and he went out to open the mansion through his own imperial examination, and has no contact with the family anymore."

Fayi's mind was circling the relationship between the Liu family in Jingzhou and this Liu Qian, the concubine, and the fact that they had not been in contact with each other all year round, "So, in Mr. Liu's opinion, is this magistrate Liu especially obsessed with high-ranking officials and generous salary?"

Liu Chunxi was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he said truthfully, "Uncle Liu, Chunxi has heard a few words from his father. Deliberately suppressing, so he is particularly persistent in wanting to be promoted to suppress his father."

Fa Yi nodded thoughtfully, "The corpses of Zhifu Liu's family must have been inspected by Zuo Zuo a long time ago. In this weather, after such a long time, I'm afraid they have already turned into bones." She turned to Peng Ji and said , "Your Highness, why don't you agree to Mr. Liu's request."

Peng Ji nodded in agreement, and the first investigation was over.
