Your Highness, you stole my heart

That Fang Wen kowtowed three times, shouted again, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, my villain, thank you, my son-in-law," and then withdrew.

Sweat dripped from the forehead of the new prefect Hong Zheng, who hadn't participated in it, 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 prefect of Quanzhou 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 for many 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 could he let himself be a scapegoat.

The Quanzhou refugee incident was not as serious as it spread to Jingzhou. It was just a small group of people who ran out from the counties below and came to Quanzhou to beg for food. 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 throughout the day.

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 leaving, 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, "The magistrate 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. That's why he is particularly persistent in wanting to be promoted and overwhelm 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.

Several people are still staying in Fengyuan Inn, Peng Ji has ordered people to clear out the entire inn of guests, the huge luxury inn, now only live in their group of guests from Jingzhou.

On the way back to the inn, Liu Chunxi was taken by Hong Zhifu to collect the body, and Qi Shilang followed behind the two of them in silence.

He didn't let go of his clenched teeth until the two of them got into the carriage and got on the horse by themselves.

During these times when he saw His Highness, there was not a single moment when His Highness stayed with this evil spirit. The two of them really looked like a man and a woman, and they were incomparably matched.

His Highness must have been blinded by this malicious person, such a grassroots man who was born in a merchant, married His Highness not only for the power in His Highness's hands.

If one day, when His Highness needs help, what can this merchant's son do, and he won't be able to run in time.

I am different, my father has more than half of Tianjin's military strength, and I am the one who can help His Highness.

This Prince Qi was exposed to the sun outside, and his heart was also burning with anger.Inside the carriage it was completely different.

In the car was Mingqian Longjing, Pengji's favorite drink, and next to her was a son-in-law bent over to beat her leg.

The eyes of the two of them are soft and gentle, as long as they look at each other, they will be sucked into each other's hearts.

"Is the son-in-law confident to find out the truth?" Peng Ji looked at Fa Yi, who was beating her leg with his head hooked, and asked aloud.

Fa Yi smiled, clenched small fists with both hands, grasping the strength, but looked at Peng Ji's legs seriously, "I already know eight or nine."

She just needs to collect evidence for this case. I hope all the sisters in Jingzhou are going well.The account books submitted by Fang Wei are indeed a great piece of evidence, and it can only prove that Liu Qian collects 100 million taels of silver from the lower levels every year, but he doesn't write where the money goes.

If you want to uncover the skin of the person behind it with one move, you need more important evidence.

Peng Ji didn't reply right away, but was silent for a while, and when the carriage arrived at Fengyuan Inn, the two returned to their room, and the people following behind also performed their duties and stood at their posts.

In the closed room, there were only two people left, and Peng Ji asked, "I want to know, but is it related to a certain emperor brother of my palace?"

Fa Yi was still full of smiles, she grabbed a handful of Long Jing brought from Jingzhou and put it in the teapot, made a cup of hot tea for Peng Ji, and then went to take out the new case that she had sorted out.

"This is the case record of this case. It is just a prisoner's own habit. A rough transcript of this case is not confirmed to be stored in the treasury. Your Highness can go through it first."

Peng Ji was a little surprised. She didn't know much about the case investigation of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so she didn't even know that Tingwei would write the case himself.

What's more, this is still an unsolved case.

This person's reputation for investigating cases is well-known, but he is not so powerful that he already knows the ins and outs of the case before the official investigation begins.

If this is true, then this evil god is too amazing.

Peng Ji flipped through the case file, and found that Fa Yi's handwriting was neat and tidy, not as vigorous as a man who has been writing for many years, but as written by a daughter trained by a civil servant.

She only turned two pages, and her face turned pale. After she took time to finish reading it, she looked at Fa Yi thoughtfully.

She didn't speak, and she didn't know how to speak.

If there is no trace, Peng Ji believes that it is impossible for Fa Yi to write it and show it to herself.

It is written in black and white, and I am afraid that nine out of ten sentences are confirmed.

Fa Yi was not in a hurry, when Peng Ji watched, she just smiled and waited quietly.

Seeing that she had finished reading, he took the black and white writing and put it away.

"Your Highness must have come to a conclusion in his mind, but it's still the same sentence. We came to Quanzhou by order, so we just need to report the matter to His Majesty."

When Peng Ji heard this, she couldn't tell if she was in a good mood.What was written on it was nothing more than how his imperial brother cultivated a confidant, and this confidant collected 100 million taels of silver from the common people every year.

As for those refugees, they were just people from a few counties that were too remote. After a few years, their families were destitute, and they fled to Quanzhou with their families as a last resort, hoping to make a living in Quanzhou.

Some poorer villages came to Quanzhou with all their villages. In addition, some poor families could not afford money, so they had to flee. If they did not flee, they would be arrested by the county magistrate and put in prison.

That's why Quanzhou has gathered such a small force.

As for who her imperial brother is, Fa Yi wrote that it was found that the person who was in direct contact with Liu Qian was the second imperial brother, the Xian Wang, but no one knew that the elder brother who was a compatriot with the Xian Wang and his mother was the Xian Wang's servant. people.

Although she was well prepared, Peng Ji still couldn't feel better.

She and these elder brothers have long been at odds with each other, but she never thought that among them, there would be someone who would blindly collect money without caring about the life and death of the people.

One million taels per year, and the account books only record the past three years. It is conceivable how much hard-earned money the King of England has taken from the common people over the years.

And he is a prince, why does he need so much money every year?All fools know that this money is nothing more than recruiting soldiers and horses.

Peng Ji never thought that the King of England would be suspected of rebellion.

She thought of the changes in her father this year, and what she said when she chose Fa Yi as her backing.

Father is the king of a country, how could he be unaware of what happened under his nose.

Seeing Peng Ji's complexion changing again and again, Fa Yi sighed, got up and hugged her in his arms.

It is inaccurate to say that it is in the arms, Fa Yi is standing, Peng Ji is sitting, Fa Yi just hugs Peng Ji's head on his belly.

"Your Highness, don't be sad, he won't have a chance of success."

Peng Ji didn't resist, and let her hold her head, and even rubbed against her belly, "I'm not sad, I just realized that I'm too weak after all. We grew up together, but this palace still needs Father's protection." She just suddenly felt that she was really useless, no wonder Father wanted to find a backing for her.

Fayi's eyes darkened, and she gently stroked the back of Peng Ji's head with her hand, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is not only protecting His Highness's one daughter, I hope His Highness will not have any psychological burden, and always remember that there are no brothers in the royal family. There are no fathers and sons, and the same goes for fathers and daughters." She sighed, "Your Highness, I hope that Your Highness's heart is like a fortress, indestructible."

There are some truths that she still can't tell Peng Ji all at once.She was also afraid, afraid that her highness would be hurt.

If Emperor Cheng of Jin really favored his daughters, how could he allow his sons to develop their power.

Now he expressed his preference for Peng Ji as the candidate for the crown prince, but who knows if His Royal Highness Peng Ji was pushed out as a target, or if he had a more shameless plan in his heart.

Jin Chengdi is nothing but a shameless villain.

But Peng Ji raised her eyes, looking at Fa Yi with some thought on her face, and some inconceivable.

What does she mean?

What does it mean that the father is not only protecting his own daughter, what does she know?

The fluster in Pengji's heart reappeared, the feeling that also appeared when she realized that she couldn't catch Fa Yi.

This feels awful.
