Kunning Palace.

There were actually a lot of silkworms raised in the outer hall.

The sound of mulberry leaves being eaten away made Qian Duoduo feel at ease.

The queen personally serves Nongsang. Such a virtuous harem master must not be a harsh person.

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but blush again when she thought of what her father said again.

After a while, a palace official returned to the palace, leaned over and said something in the queen's ear.

The queen nodded, looked at Qian Duoduo with some regret, and sighed: "You kid is telling the truth, that man does have injuries on his back."

Thinking like this, she actually shook her head a little in her heart.

What kind of money minister? There is such a father in the world who uses his daughter's innocent reputation as a means to criticize political opponents. It is disgusting!

But thinking about the words her brother Xue Gaoxian sent people to spread, the queen also knew that such shameless Qian Shilang would be her ally.

"I dare not say panic." Qian Duoduo responded in a low voice.

The queen took two steps forward, patted her hand with pity, and sighed: "God, what a poor child, encountering such a beast, encountering such a thing..."

Qian Duoduo blushed and buried her head lower.

"Child, don't worry. Your Majesty and the ministers will make the decision for you. Even if he is some kind of quasi-attached horse, even if it costs the Tian family's face, they will punish that beast severely."

The queen said, thinking of the 'face of the Tian family', she sighed in her heart: Who made your father have the means and be valued by the emperor?

When the word "punishment" came to Erzi's ears, Qian Duoduo became a little panicked.

She quickly looked up at the Queen and whispered: "Queen, I...I don't want to punish him..."

"Don't want to be punished?" The queen pondered slightly.

The difference between the two people's methods and scheming was more than just clouds and mud. The queen just stared at Qian Duoduo's face for a while, and she understood in her heart.

Sure enough, I heard Qian Duoduo say: "My father said that if he did such a thing, he would not be able to be a horse...can he...can he..."

After hesitating for a long time, she plucked up the courage, closed her eyes and said, "I beg your Majesty, can you just say that you made the wrong choice at that time... no longer choose him as your horse... let me and him..."

She was so nervous that her fingers trembled, and then she said the last two words:

"...referring to marriage."

After saying these two words, Qian Duoduo seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

The smile on the queen's face solidified.

"What are you thinking about?" She sighed and said softly: "How could such a thing happen? Promise you to him again? Isn't it child's play that day?"

"But...father said..."

Silly girl, of course your father lied to you.

The queen sneered in her heart, shook her head, and finally said: "Stop this idea, he was selected as a horse, but was deprived of this qualification. It was because he did not cultivate his personal ethics and committed another crime.

The king's law. Those who violate the king's law will naturally be punished. All crimes will be punished, and the only way out is death."

Qian Duoduo suddenly raised his head, his face turned pale.

"No...that's not what father said..."

My father said it well. If he goes to the palace and talks to the queen, he can make the king smile like a princess and marry him...

Those words were still echoing in his ears, mixed with the Queen's words, "It's a dead end." Qian Duoduo couldn't believe it.

"My father has made arrangements. Remember, you have to be forced by him, otherwise you are seducing the Qian family and trying to destroy the Qian family. But my father is a close minister of the emperor, so he can naturally allow your majesty to marry you..."

"Of course as a father, I also hope that my daughter will marry the person of my heart. If things happen tomorrow, we will return the letter of engagement from the Wen family..."

"A dead end?" Qian Duoduo murmured, whispering to himself: "It was me... I personally pushed him to a dead end."

Recalling the hibiscus spring warmth that night in her mind, she felt sadness welling up in her heart, and she felt the world was spinning...

----------------------------------------

Jianji Hall.

Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the fourth rank, is in charge of refutation of prison cases and retrials of re-incarcerated prisoners.

Wen Rongxin was thirty-six years old, with a handsome appearance and the demeanor of a national scholar.

At such an age, wearing a red robe and a gold belt, he can be regarded as a very young and capable minister.

"Your Majesty, last night the three divisions of the Yamen investigated the East Factory together, and the subordinate was responsible for sorting out the evidence. In the past half day, there have been many important clues." Wen Rongxin said, quite calmly, and said: "Your Majesty, please come with all your lords.

Please allow me to submit official reports."

Emperor Yanguang sighed in his heart.

After going around and around, these civil servants were still unwilling to let Dongchang go.

"Take this kid down first." Emperor Yanguang pointed at the king and said with a smile, with an expression of anger on his face.

However, Wen Rongxin bowed and reported in a leisurely manner: "This case is closely related to this prince, so we might as well interrogate it together."

"oh?"

Wen Rongxin said: "The lower official believes that Wang Xiao's insult to Qian Shilang's daughter is probably to take revenge on Qian Shilang."

Xia Yan, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, asked in a joking manner: "What is the meaning of this statement?"

Wen Rongxin turned his head and glanced at Luo Yuan, and said: "A while ago, the censor impeached Wang Xiao, Bai Yizhang, Qin Chengye... Qian Shilang followed the regulations and checked. Although nothing was found, he was retaliated against. Later, he even

Some gangsters broke into Qian's house."

Wang Xiao then interjected: "Sir, what do the gangsters have to do with me..."

Then one of the guards blocked his mouth with a cloth, tied him up and threw him together with Wang Fang.

Wen Rongxin narrowed his narrow eyes, glanced at Wang Xiao indifferently, and said loudly: "You may wish to imagine that a quasi-concubine, who gave him the courage to be so unscrupulous, dare to insult the daughter of an important minister of the dynasty?"

Xia Yan joked again: "Who gave him the courage?"

Qian Chengyun leaned over and stopped crying; Zuo Jinglun and Bian Xiuyong looked at each other and nodded; Lu Zhengchu closed his eyes and remained motionless.

In the main hall, only Wen Rongxin's voice echoed:

"There are many people's evidence here, and after putting all the evidence together, a shocking case was discovered..."

"A few days ago, a member of the Taiping Department died in a family named Wei Qi. According to Zhao Ping's confession, the person who killed him was Wang Xiao. But why did Wang Xiao kill Wei Qi?"

"According to Zhang Xu's confession: Wang Fang and Wang Xiao had already conspired to make a fortune by prohibiting alcohol and collecting grain. On the night of Wei Qi's death, they were selling people and horses in the Taiping Department to prepare for this. But Wei Qi refused.

, Wang Xiao asked someone to kill him."

"And who was the person who killed Wei Qi? Qin Chengye's granddaughter in the capital." Wen Rongxin said, "You must be wondering why this matter involves Qin Chengye's granddaughter?"

"Because this is a planned embezzlement case carried out by a group of people."

"You all know what happened next. They exploited a total of 80,000 dan of grain and prepared to hoard it. But what you don't know is that the food is not only 80,000 dan, but - a total of 120,000 dan!"

Emperor Yanguang's expression changed, and there was discussion in the palace.

Wen Rongxin said loudly: "There are still 40,000 shi of grain in the two warehouses on Youfang Street!"

As soon as he said this, Lu Zhengchu and Bai Yizhang both trembled and opened their eyes suddenly.

Yau Fong Street Warehouse?

That is the granary of the Kundang!

Qian Chengyun was indeed prepared...

But Wen Rongxin said unhurriedly: "According to the report of Wai Lang Wenhexiao, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Bai Yizhang is actually a worm in the country! In recent years, the disaster relief silver grain he has obtained from the Ministry of Household Affairs has been hidden in the warehouse on Youfang Street."

Bai Yizhang's face turned pale instantly - Wen Hexiao, you actually betrayed me...

Wen Rongxin's voice is still echoing.

"This morning, the lower official took another witness named Kang Baiwan. According to his confession, because the court was investigating Bai Yizhang a while ago, he handed over the grain and silver account book to Wang Xiao."

"Why give it to Wang Xiao? Obviously because they think this horse is the safest, and also because they have been in a group for a long time. Long before they plotted to reopen the East Factory, these people had colluded with each other."

"This group of people will do anything to make money. The Wang family asked their children to choose horses, reopened the East Factory, and petitioned for a ban on alcohol... These are all just ways for them to make money. And these are just their methods over the years. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the countless crimes they have committed. Even from the beginning of the preparation of Liao's salary, they have been eating away at the foundation of Da Chu like a giant rat."

"In this group of people, Bai Yizhang is responsible for taking money and grain from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Wang family is responsible for selling grain in the name of wine making, Wang Fang is appointed as the East Factory and is responsible for plundering, and the Qin family of Liaodong is also involved in providing force and protection. All the ministries in the court and central government are involved. They are all countless...as for who is taking the lead?"

Who is taking the lead in this?

After Wen Rongxin finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Just listen to the young fourth-rank Shaoqing speak slowly: "According to Kang Wanwan, he is from Xin'an, Kunshan, and he has been a servant of the Lu family since his father's generation..."

Things have developed to this point, and a desperate plan has emerged.

Qian Chengyun leaned on the ground and sneered in his heart.
