Dressed as the master of a sickly tyrant

Chu Haozhi frowned involuntarily as he was moved in a daze in his sleep.

Taking advantage of the situation, I found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he saw that Nan Cangming had already prepared breakfast, and asked while eating breakfast, "How is the county government?"

Nan Cangming raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Xiao Yan has already led his troops there.

They are just a group of refugees, and we can go to live in the county office tonight. "

Chu Haozhi took a sip of porridge: "Minimize casualties as much as possible, the people at the bottom will always be the most pitiful."

Yunmengze in Furong Town was very busy, and truckloads of food and medicinal materials were transported into the city in an orderly manner.

More than a dozen porridge sheds have been set up in the city, and there are long queues in front of each porridge shed.

All the sallow and emaciated refugees were staring at the steaming porridge in front of them.

Yue Hanyan cleared out a ruined temple to accommodate those suffering from typhoid fever.

Everyone was given brand new futons.

Feng Shayu took the doctor from Chonglouge Pharmacy for consultation to avoid a large-scale epidemic after the flood.

In the palace, the crown prince had been worried for several days and hadn't had a good meal. Seeing this, Wang Yanqin tentatively asked, "Your Highness is worried about the flood in the Yellow River? Didn't my father send the Southwest King to deal with it?"

The crown prince was bored, and even more irritable after hearing this, but he still held back his impatience and said: "It is because the father sent him to this palace that he is bothered, that person is not willing to enter, so he will definitely take this opportunity Suppress those who support this palace."

Wang Yanqin lowered her eyes thoughtfully, and said warmly after a long time: "Did your Highness do some disgraceful things?"

The prince was so bluntly poked at the center of the matter, he was angry and annoyed for a while, and wanted to scold directly, "It's really a woman with long hair and short knowledge."

But it can't happen, so in order to maintain the gentleman's demeanor, I have to say: "Some officials are also forced to do nothing, and it is difficult to maintain expenses only by salary and rewards.

It is also human nature to go some sideways to get some money.

Wang Yanqin obviously did not expect that the prince whose father said he loved the people like a son would say such words, and a trace of hurt flashed in his eyes.

On the Lantern Festival, the gentleman in brocade clothes who laughed at Yan Yan, asked her which lamp she liked, and talked to her about his great ambitions, seemed to be just a dream of his own.

She was full of expectations to marry into the prince's mansion, and gave up her inherent arrogance for him.

Participating in banquets, chatting and laughing with Quan's wives, and maintaining his relationship with Quan's wives...

She thought that the man she married was someone who loved the people like a son, cared about the world, and had a bright future, but why would he let the officials under him indulge the common people...

My father said that the crown prince of the Prince's Kingdom, who loves the people like a son, is a rare and proud son of heaven. Could it be that his father is also lying to himself?Or does he have a last resort?

Seemingly seeing the disbelief in her eyes, the prince had no choice but to coax patiently: "I am only a prince at present, and I need the support of my courtiers, so I can't tear myself apart from them.

I can only turn a blind eye and close my eyes, and when I ascend the throne, I will definitely bring these corrupt officials to justice and return the world to Haiyan and Heqing. "

Wang Yanqin relaxed her brows when she heard the words, and said softly: "Father said that Chu Haozhi just asked those officials to make up for the embezzled silver, so let the past go.

It's not about killing them all. "

The prince's heart sank, and he twitched the corner of his mouth.

Isn't this just forcing yourself to spit out the embezzled money?

I don't think about it!

In a blink of an eye, she pulled Wang Yanqin into her arms.

Wang Yanqin received a good etiquette education since she was a child, and when she hugged her in the study, she still resisted awkwardly: "Your Highness, this is in the study..."

The crown prince was most annoyed by her reserved appearance, as expected, all the people brought up by Wenyuan Pavilion were so serious.

After letting go of the person in his arms, he reluctantly said: "You are so beautiful, I couldn't hold back for a while, it's not frivolous."

Seeing what the prince said, Wang Yanqin's heart still jumped for joy. What woman can refuse a man who says she can't resist her own charm?

And this person is still the person I admire.

So he took the initiative to snuggle into the prince's arms, and said softly: "Then what should I do about this matter? Maybe I can help you?"

A smile appeared on the prince's face, he spent so long working hard, isn't it just for this one sentence.

So he kissed the hair of the person in his arms pitifully, and said eagerly to catch him: "It's a little thing, I will ask my mother when the time comes."

Wang Yanqin reached out and stroked his cheek: "Your Highness is the crown prince of a country, how can you ask for someone so easily? Husband and wife are one, and I will do my best to help His Highness."

The prince's face was full of doting: "Marrying you is really a blessing for my three lives.

They embezzled 10,000+ taels of silver and squandered it all, so they have to find a way to make up for it. "

"10,000+ taels?" Wang Yanqin was born in the Shangshu Mansion, and her mother's family was a well-known imperial merchant with a wealthy family background. She was also shocked by the 10 taels.

This is simply lawless, a total of 10 taels, this is how many people's life money!

Of the 40 taels of relief money, 10 taels went into the prince's pocket, and 10,000+ taels went to all the officials in the capital.

The remaining tens of thousands of taels were divided up by officials in the disaster area.

The prince was worried that the officials at the bottom would reveal his corruption and acceptance of bribes, and none of the officials at the bottom dared to ask the prince to spit out the money he had eaten.

The prince was unwilling to spit out the 10 taels, and the officials in the disaster area could not scrape together so much money.

For a moment, everyone was panicked, but no one wanted to suffer.

Wang Yanqin's face was full of anger, and her voice was a little louder: "Your Highness, there are some shops for my concubine's dowry, and I will have people sell them as soon as possible, and the 10 taels of silver can still be scraped together.

It's just that His Highness must restrain the officials below, and don't do such illegal activities. "

Although the prince was displeased when he heard the words, he was still gentle and considerate on the surface: "I made you worry, and I will definitely restrain them in the future."

As intelligent as Wang Yanran, she also sensed something was wrong.

If it weren't for someone above, how could the officials below have the guts to embezzle such a huge amount of relief money?

But she still chose to believe, she believed that he was forced to do nothing, she believed that he had no other choice.

Who made him the person I like and the father of the child in my womb?

Stretching out his hand to touch his stomach, he leaned close to the prince's ear and whispered: "I have not had a good appetite recently, and today the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis said it was a happy pulse..."

The prince was stunned when he heard the words, and quickly reacted, grabbed her hand and said: "Really? I have a child?"

Wang Yanqin lowered her head in embarrassment, with a happy face: "I can feel that he just kicked me."

The prince helped her to sit on the couch: "Don't worry about it in the future, and take care of your baby with peace of mind.

I will ask the maids to serve you more carefully. "

Wang Yanqin looked at the prince affectionately: "Your Highness is well, only the concubines can rest assured.

I also hope that His Highness will strictly control his subordinates in the future, and don't repeat the same mistakes, even if it is for the baby in the womb of the concubine. "

The prince was a little impatient in his heart, so he had to change the topic: "Okay, what do you want to eat at noon? I have nothing to do today, so I will have dinner with you."

In the afternoon, Xiao Yan sent someone to pick up Chu Haozhi and others to the county government.

The group of refugees could still fight a few times with the soldiers of the county government. When they met Xiao Yan, an iron-blooded general who had been fought on the real battlefield, they would throw away their helmets and armor in a blink of an eye.

At night, when Chu Haozhi and others settled down at the county government office, Xiao Yan stared at Yun Mengze foolishly at the dinner table: "Miss Yun, long time no see."

As he spoke, he brought food to others and served them attentively.

Nan Cangming didn't even look at it, how could he have such a bastard in his hand?

When he complained about Xiao Yan, he completely forgot that he was also a bastard in front of Chu Haozhi.

Feng Shayu had been busy all day today, and now he was only focused on eating.

Yue Hanyan asked him while picking up vegetables, "The money for disaster relief may be recovered?"

Chu Haozhi picked up a vegetable and said calmly: "If you can't spit it out, you have to force them to spit it out.

Yesterday, he killed the governor and copied 2 taels of silver.

Killing chickens to scare monkeys, presumably the rest are trying to find ways to raise money. "

Nan Cangming picked up the fishbone and said, "What the prince swallowed was the big head. According to his character, he probably wouldn't be willing to spit it out."

Yun Mengze said with a light smile: "Princess Wang Yanqin's mother's family is a well-known imperial merchant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that her family is rich, and 10 taels of silver can still be given away."

"A dog will jump over a wall when it is in a hurry.

If he refuses to spit it out, those officials will not be able to raise money, and they will surely die. "

Chu Haozhi was very determined.

Chu Haozhi was having a happy meal here, while the eunuch and other officials were all overwhelmed.

"The letter has been sent to the capital. If the prince really abandons his pawn to save the car, then don't blame me for dying."

Liu Taishou looked determined.

"Then what should we do?" Zhang County Magistrate asked.

"The refugees rebelled against Long Yan, who was furious, so he could only raise money to make up for the shortfall.

Write another letter of apology and push the matter to the top. The law does not blame the public. It is up to God whether the emperor will use us to make an example of others, or deprive him of his official position. "

Liu Taishou never expected that the development of the matter would be so unexpected.

Taishou Liu personally wrote a letter of apology and stamped his fingerprints.

The rest of the people also wrote a letter of apology and signed their fingerprints one after another.

Early the next morning, the capital sent someone to deliver 20 to tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Several people escorted all the money they raised, plus the money sent by the capital, to the county government.

Chu Haozhi took the letter of injustice and sent him away in a nonchalant manner, in exchange for Yun Mengze to say: "Calculate the expenses of Chuchen Palace and take what should be taken away.

Send the rest to the people. "

Two days later, the refugees in the disaster area were properly resettled, and each received ten taels of silver.

Chu Haozhi breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the prison to interrogate the two scholars who incited the refugees to rebel.

The prison was damp and cold with a strong smell of blood. The two scholars were imprisoned by Xiao Yan for a few days, and they were already on the verge of collapse.

Chu Haozhi obtained the confession that they were instructed by others without any effort.

When Nan Cangming and his party left on horseback, the common people lined up to welcome them.

Many women in the crowd threw flowers at them.

Nan Cangming turned over and jumped onto Chu Hao's horse, and hurried forward with his arms around the horse, leaving Xiao Yan to deal with the people behind him.

Seeing so many girls throwing flowers at him, Xiao Yan stammered very shyly: "I have someone I like, thank you girls for your love."

After speaking, he looked at Yunmengze who was on the horse. Yunmengze was confessed in public, and the tips of his ears were stained with a tinge of blush.

Nan Cangming galloped wildly, the wind howling in his ears.

Chu Haozhi frowned: "Why are you so impatient?"

Nan Cangming said dissatisfied: "I don't like them staring at Master."
