"Weichen has only collected the witnesses' confessions, and the key account books and letters have not been found." Shi Zhongcheng brought either the household clerks or the soldiers who escorted the medicines and grains. Including himself, they were not good at handling cases. "
However, the minister has already sent a memorial back to the imperial capital, begging your Majesty to send someone to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of the Xunzhou Prefect."
"How long has it been since you sent your letter?" Si Haochen asked.
"It's been twenty days." Shi Zhongcheng was looking forward to it every day that the emperor would send someone to remove the governor of Xunzhou from his official position. Then, if he chose a useful governor, this disaster would be easier to save.
"Write it again, and I will send someone to deliver the letter." The third child felt that the prefect of Xunzhou was his. Shi Zhongcheng was born in a merchant family and had no foundation in the court. His memorial was probably taken away before Danxu got it.
The third person stopped him.
Shi Zhongcheng was a little naive when he first entered the officialdom, but he was not stupid. After listening to Prince Yun's instructions, he knew that his previous memorials were probably lost to nothing: "Wei Chen will write now."
Shi Zhongcheng's memorial was rushed to the imperial capital by secret guards. Mingruo also treated more than a dozen critically ill patients and left five jars of space well water for Doctor Qin.
Doctor Qin also discovered that the medicines given by the princess had miraculous effects. He carefully distinguished them for a long time, and could only distinguish the smells of mint, orange, and star anise oil.
Ming Ruo found it funny when she saw Doctor Qin racing against time to study the 'well water' during the break. Everyone must have found it strange to use pure water directly, so she added a box of lozenges to each jar. The taste of medicinal herbs
In fact, it was very indifferent, and it was really difficult for Dr. Qin.
Mingruo and Si Haochen wanted to rush back to Xunzhou City before dark. They left in front of Feilai Temple and said to Doctor Qin and Shi Zhongcheng: "Tomorrow, the king will send people to deliver supplies. You don't have to worry about food and medicinal materials."
.”
"Yes, Weichen (subordinate) understands." With Prince Yun's words, Shi Zhongcheng and Doctor Qin were relieved.
Mo Ying walked leisurely on the mountain road under the setting sun, Mingruo leaned on Si Haochen's chest: "The supplies prepared by Mr. Bai will not arrive until five days at the earliest. Where do you want to send the food from tomorrow?"
Are you bringing some medicinal materials?"
Ming Ruo smiled so hard that she thought that Si Haochen was going to dump supplies from the 'Qiankun Box'.
I just heard His Royal Highness Prince Yun say: "The palace has a medicine shop in Xuzhou City, and there are four villages on the outskirts of the city. It is not difficult to prepare some medicinal materials and food."
"Oh~" Mingruo turned his head and looked at Si Haochen, "Is there anything else in your property that you don't have?"
"They are all in the places where they should be." Si Haochen chuckled, "We were not in the imperial capital last year, and we haven't looked at the account books at the end of the year. After I returned home, I looked at them carefully, and I knew everything."
"You are trying to trick me into helping you read the account books, but I won't be fooled." Mingruo's mind was spinning rapidly.
"If you don't watch, what if someone plots against your husband and loses the family fortune?" Si Haochen rubbed his chin on Mingruo's head.
"Don't be afraid if you lose, I will support you!" Mingruo replied lazily.
Si Haochen's lips curved into a slight smile, okay, his wife is so domineering.
The group of people arrived at the city gate before the sun set. The city defenders from yesterday happened to be guarding the gate. They watched Prince Yun and his party from a distance and ordered people to move the roadblocks.
Si Haochen was very satisfied with the sharp eyesight of these people. He was about to ride his horse into the city when two people rushed out from behind.
Before Chu Yi and Xun Yi could take action, the city defenders stopped them with their spears: "Anyone who breaks into the city gate without permission will be killed without mercy!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Yun, you are an old slave..." Mingruo was very surprised when she heard Eunuch Zhang's high-pitched voice.
The main reason is that Eunuch Zhang's style is too unique - his face is dirty, and his hair is held up by a branch with leaves. The purple round-neck robe of the chief internal officer has long been missing, and the purple round-neck robe worn on his body has long been missing I picked up a piece of stuff that was even shredded than a rag... It could be considered a tent. The shoes on my feet were not only broken, but they were also two different styles...
As for Eunuch Zhang, he is the kind of person who is the worst off among the beggars... The little eunuch beside him is worse than him, and the 'clothes' he wears are probably from Eunuch Zhang. A piece torn off the 'tent' is only enough to wear above the knees...
"What are you doing here?" Si Haochen was not curious at all as to why Eunuch Zhang behaved like this.
"The old slave wants to go to the city to find the prince, but these soldiers will not allow the old slave to enter the city!" Although Zhang Jinliang is a slave, he is also a slave next to the most noble man. When did he suffer such a big crime? Now he is full of resentment. The blame was placed on the prefect of Xunzhou. "The old slave asked them to send a message to the prefect's mansion. They also said that the old slave was mentally ill..."
"Don't you have a token?" Si Haochen gently held the horse's belly and walked into the city gate.
"The old slave and his party rested at the inn last night. Unexpectedly, the inn was full of black shops. Not only did they stun the old slave and plunder everything, they also killed the imperial guards sent by the emperor to protect the old slave..." Zhang Jinliang and the little eunuch followed. Prince Yun got behind his horse and finally entered the city gate.
Several people returned to Zhuangyuan Building. The shopkeeper saw that the distinguished guest had picked up two dirty beggars and returned. Although he was not happy, he could only apologize and said with a smile: "Sir, you are back... Do you need to prepare a few buckets for these two people?" Do you want to wash yourself with water first?”
Si Haochen was too lazy to meddle in such noisy matters. When he saw Fifteen coming back from outside carrying large and small bags, he said, "You go to my servants to discuss how to settle them."
When Fifteen saw the princess, his eyes lit up: "Madam, I bought everything you asked for."
"Okay." Mingruo smiled and nodded, "After settling these two, come back for dinner."
"Don't worry, leave it to your subordinates." Shiwu handed the large and small parcels in his hand to Xunyi.
After watching the masters return to the courtyard, he turned to talk to Eunuch Zhang and his apprentices.
"Where did you come from, beggars?" Fifteen pretended not to recognize Eunuch Zhang, "Come with me to the back of the stable to wash up first. All the beggars in the city have been driven out of the city, so you are lucky. , met my wife..."
Zhang Jinliang originally wanted to say some tough words, but he is now penniless and cannot be tough: "The fifteenth guard is right, this old slave is really lucky to meet the prince and the princess..."
"Ouch!" Fifteen looked frightened, "Why do you always end up like this?"
"It's hard to say...It's hard to say..." Zhang Jinliang's face wrinkled up like a bitter melon.
"Come on, shopkeeper, let's arrange two rooms first, ask the waiter to bring more hot water, and then go to the clothing store to buy two clothes..." Fifteen didn't bother to listen to Eunuch Zhang's chatter, looked at the sky outside, and said with The meal time was coming, and he had to go back and cook quickly.
