"Since the three divisions have been sent for a joint trial, shouldn't they be convicted and executed? Why go to the imperial capital?" Ming Ruo didn't understand the back-and-forth process.
"Of course it's because Dan Xu is suspicious. Under normal circumstances, the three departments will review the case and the criminal can be executed on the spot." Si Haochen supported his head with his hands and leaned lazily on the pillow, "The amount involved in this case is huge.
Even if the three agencies are to interrogate him, he still won’t be at ease.”
"Oh... Then he must be very disappointed." A large amount of money was either taken away by the 'ghost' or spent by his husband...
"Xiao Ruo'er, do you care about him very much?" Si Haochen raised his wife's pointed chin and pecked her rose-colored lips.
Mingruo's eyes almost rolled to the back of his head: "I'm worried that if he doesn't make any money, he'll do something wrong again."
"Don't worry, my husband will take care of it." Si Haochen got up and wrote a letter, calling the secret guards to send them to Beichi, and also ordered him to set off for Xunzhou City early tomorrow morning.
His Royal Highness Prince Yun came to Xunzhou City again. At this time, Xunzhou City, which had been closed for three months, had opened its gates and people could come in and out at will.
Si Haochen was sitting in the main hall of the government office, and Chu Shaoqing and Zheng Shilang reported the results of the case. Although Cheng Taishou was mentally disturbed and his words were inconsistent, the master was very clear about what he had done in collusion with merchants and he explained everything honestly.
.
The merchants gave more detailed explanations. After all, each house involved several people, fighting each other. In the end, they even explained which house's aunt stole the man, and which house's young master kept an aunt.
Si Haochen was not interested in this and asked in a deep voice: "Has Cheng Wei, the steward of the Prefecture's Mansion, been arrested and brought to justice?"
"Reporting to the prince, no." Chu Shaoqing lowered his head and replied.
Si Haochen looked at the silent censor Zhongcheng again: "Master Zhao, have you verified all the accounts? Is there any deficit in the money I handled?"
"Reporting to His Highness Prince Yun, the accounts are clear and there is no deficit." Yushi Zhongcheng looked like he was mourning for his heir. If the deficit was really found, he would probably be able to make some mistakes when he returned.
"I will return to the capital tomorrow. Shi Lang will continue to handle the follow-up matters of the disaster relief. We will wait for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to send a new governor before returning to the capital." Si Haochen tapped the armrest of the grand master's chair with his fingers, "The rest can be escorted.
The prisoners may accompany me, or they may go on their own, it is up to you to decide what you choose.”
"I obey." Shi Zhongcheng understood in his heart that Prince Yun seemed to have left him in Xunzhou, but in fact it was not a good time to return to Beijing. Let everyone in the Sanfa Division bear the wrath of the emperor first, and then go back.
Better.
"Wei Chen is willing to follow the prince back to the capital." The Minister of Punishment is a talented person, and Cheng Niannian is just a prefect. If he can do such a big thing, he probably has a backer behind him.
Although they did not find out the mastermind behind the scenes, they were inevitably jealous. As for the dozens of officers from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, if they really encountered anything, they would not be enough to kill the thieves.
"If you want to go together, just go to the fifteenth place and report your number." Si Haochen stood up and walked out of the hall, and happened to meet Eunuch Zhang who came after hearing the news.
"Old slave, please give your regards to His Highness Prince Yun." Zhang Jinliang saluted quickly.
"Yeah." Si Haochen only glanced at Eunuch Zhang, then sat on the carriage.
Eunuch Zhang jogged to keep up with Jianyu: "Your Highness, when do you plan to return to the imperial capital?"
"Tomorrow." Si Haochen's answer sounded like the sound of nature to Zhang Jinliang.
"Are you still resting in Zhuangyuan Building at night? I'm going to take care of the yard where you lived before?"
The people in the city heard that the person sitting on the shoulder cart was His Royal Highness Prince Yun, who saved them from fire and water. Wherever he passed, the people knelt down and saluted: "His Royal Highness Prince Yun is a thousand years old..."
Eunuch Zhang froze in place when he saw the people's eyes full of gratitude and their devout kneeling, as if they were kneeling to worship a king.
Prince Yun's chariot walked far away. Zhang Jinliang took a deep breath and followed silently. The emperor really miscalculated in sending Prince Yun to urge disaster relief. Originally, the fiefdom governed by Prince Yun was richer than elsewhere, and many people were worried.
I was always yearning for it. But it was hard to leave my homeland, so I didn’t move.
This time, Xunzhou was hit by the disaster, and the disaster relief efforts were not successful at first, and victims were everywhere. When Prince Yun came, he not only got food and medicinal materials, but also paid travel expenses back home. At this time, Prince Yun was not only in the fiefdom, but also in several nearby state capitals, and his reputation was higher than that of Xunzhou.
It was much higher before.
The people paid homage all the way, and when they arrived at the city gate, a dozen squires presented them with a huge Umbrella of All Peoples. They said that Prince Yun was this big umbrella that protected the territory in times of war and saved all peoples in times of disaster.
Shi Fifteen quickly called his soldiers to take the Wanmin Umbrella, which was a good thing.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, I saw the soldiers carrying the Wanmin Umbrella to the building, and I felt a little disgusted: "This thing takes up a lot of space, why don't you put it back in the bottom cabin?"
"That's not possible, we have to find a cabin to support it properly." Fifteen folded his hands across his chest, "In case the emperor makes things difficult for the master by spending too much on disaster relief when we return to the imperial capital, let's hold this Umbrella of the Ten Thousand People
, Your Majesty has nothing to say."
Zhang Jinliang wiped away the sweat from running all the way, and silently complained in his heart, Guard Fifteen, I'm still here.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, seeing Eunuch Zhang looking constipated, he bumped Fifteen with his elbow.
"Eunuch Zhang is here." Fifteen said with a smile, "It's okay, Eunuch Zhang is not an outsider!"
Zhang Jinliang almost fell to his knees, please treat me as an outsider. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, I may be finished!
"Your Majesty, are you going to live on the boat tonight?" Zhang Jinliang asked bravely.
"Yes." Fifteen nodded, "But we will leave early tomorrow morning, so you should get there early so as not to miss the boat."
"Our family has sent people back to pack their luggage, and we will stay on the boat tonight." Zhang Jinliang was so traumatized by the dumping that he now wished he could chain himself to Prince Yun.
"Okay." Fifteen thought it didn't matter, "You can't go up to the second floor of the building. If the prince throws you into the river to feed the fish, don't blame me for not warning you."
"We have made a note of it. Thank you to the fifteen guards. We will treat you to a drink when you return to the imperial capital." Zhang Jinliang said with a smile.
"Master won't let us drink. I only care about you. How can you repay kindness with enmity?" Fifteen complained.
"Our family didn't think well enough. We invite you to have tea at Jian Mingxuan." Zhang Jinliang continued, "Look, which cabin is more suitable for our family to live in?"
"You wait here first, I'll ask the steward for you." Shififu strolled towards the cabin.
Chu Ba tugged on Shi Fifteen's sleeves: "Don't get too close to him, that old eunuch doesn't look like a good person."
"I know it well." Shi Shi smiled, "If he dares to have bad thoughts, I will let Lao Tie poison him so that he can't take care of himself."
