Su Zhe said gently: "You should like this color, and it can cover your neck. Don't wear a skirt like yesterday. It's cold, hurry up and change it."

Chen Xian took the clothes, turned back to the screen and changed into it.

She found that the size of the dress was just right, not too prominent, and not bloated at all.

When Chen Xian was in the General's Mansion, she liked to wear such apricot long skirt. The material was soft and comfortable, making her feel very comfortable.

She walked to the door, Su Zhe looked at her and said, "This is great."

Chen Xian asked: "Where did you get it?"

“Born.”

“I remember there were no shops on the street to open.”

Su Zhe said: "There happens to be a family."

Chen Xian naturally didn't know whether Su Zhe bought her clothes or forced her to sell them, and the locks in the store were broken. He himself didn't sleep all night.

Chen Xian didn't see with his own eyes how the people who knew she had come to the city to guard the mansion as Princess Jingxian last night, but it can be imagined.

Su Jie came back a long time after the night last night. After dawn, Chen Xian never saw the two maids who served her yesterday.

The city guard's mansion was peaceful.

It's just that today is a bit unusual.

After the time when Changchengguan got up, the cityguan has not gotten up for a long time today. The maids waiting outside the yard to wash have changed two batches.

Later, when the maid saw that the situation was not right, she made good decisions.1;148471591054062 went into the room.

As a result, he saw Cheng Shou lying quietly on the bed. After calling out twice, he agreed. He went forward and looked carefully and found that Cheng Shou had already had cold limbs and died peacefully.

The maid overturned the copper basin and screamed in horror, and the voice resounded throughout the yard.

Lord Chengshou died. Once the news came out, the entire mansion was in a panic.

When I was about to find the manager to come out to preside over the meeting, I found that the manager was gone.

There was a group of wives and concubines in the mansion. After knowing that the city guard had died at some point, they felt that the sky was about to collapse, and bursts of crying came from.

The city guard is their heaven. As long as the city guard lives for one day, they will have a good day.

Otherwise, countless people outside would hate the city guard and would want to swallow them alive.

No one could believe that the city guard died overnight. The officials who had been in the banquet and drinking with the city guard rushed over and heard the news, but it was useless.

When asked when Chengshou died, no one knew.

No one noticed anything unusual last night.

According to the maid who is familiar with the matter, the city guard returned to the main yard after the dinner last night, and later asked another woman to carry it into the main yard.

I was caught by the maid on the way.

But when asked about the woman's identity, the maid knew nothing.

When the officials thought that the woman was the murderer who killed Chengshou, they heard the maid say that after the woman left, Chengshou was still peaceful and asked for a pot of tea to deliver it to the room.

The maid who brought the tea into the room did not look closely, but only saw the city guard sitting in the tent.

Looking at the description of the city guard after his death, his face was peaceful and calm, and there was no sign of fighting in the room, and it didn't look like he was murdered at all.

Therefore, some people speculate that the city guard may be overworked and exhausted, and the people died of death.

The city was immediately confused because the city guard died.

While holding the funeral in the city guard office, Su Zhe and Shen Xian were not idle and met with Lord Zheng Renhou, who Su Zhe mentioned earlier.

Master Zheng did hold the account books and other evidence in his hand. The city guards were full of personal pockets and joined forces with other local officials in Jiangnan to embezzle the silver for building the dam, which was astonishing.

After knowing that Chen Xian wanted to thoroughly investigate the corruption in the city guards, Lord Zheng finally vented his anger and actively cooperated.

Chen Xian looked through the books and asked, "Since Lord Zheng is holding such important evidence in his hand, why don't he report it to the superiors early?"

Master Zheng said: "The position of the lower officials is humble, and the city guards protect each other with the superior officials. It is difficult for the lower officials to reach the sage. The lower officials have been waiting for the imperial envoy to go to the south of the Yangtze River to present these evidences together."

Chen Xian spent a day with Su Zhe and Lord Zheng to sort out the account books, and after accounting, he found that the city guard actually embezzled more than 100,000 taels of silver for building Jiangnan water conservancy.

In addition, Su Zhe also took out private messages from the city guard and those officials, as well as documents for accepting bribes, and the amount added up was also huge.

Chen Xian read the private messages one by one and said, "How come you have these?"

Su Zhe said: "I looked in the study yesterday and found some secret mechanisms."

"What else have you discovered?"

Su Jie bent down and glanced at the content of the letter from Chen Xian's shoulder. His tone was warm and gentle, and his breath swept through her ears, "There are also boxes of real gold and silver."

Chen Xian then decided to open a court to try the case of corruption and bribery in Chengshou.

The funeral was still being held at the Chengshou's house. The officials traveled between Chengshou's house every day, shuttled inside and outside the study, trying to retrieve the letters they had communicated with Chengshou.

However, unexpectedly, those letters had been put into Chen Xian's hands as notarizations.

Of course, those officials would not indulge Chen Xian to open the church, so they sent the yamen runners to try their best to obstruct them.

However, once Chen Xian made public the evidence of the account books and letters, the public grievances that had long accumulated were suddenly boiling and unstoppable.

If the city guard hadn't embezzled, the dam would not have been washed away. This Jiangnan area could have been able to survive floods, but now it has left so many people outside the city homeless, leaving the crops in the lower basin without harvest, and all of them are harmed by the city guards.

Now the public is opening a court to examine corrupt officials, so how can the people not support it?

When the refugees outside the city heard about this, they applauded even more.

After all, the yamen runners in the yamen did not dare to do anything to Chen Xian. They would be a mess of sand when the city guard died.

When Chen Xian walked into the court step by step, no one dared to stop him. Those officials who were in the same industry were at the end of their strength. When they were about to take the opportunity to escape, the other people all caught him and tied him up and sent him to the court.

With conclusive evidence, none of these officials could escape, and finally all of them were escorted to prison with the law of Dachu.

Those honest local officials who were severely suppressed by the city guards in previous years are now in the city without anyone to manage them, so Chen Xian brought them all up, headed by Zheng Renhou, and temporarily took charge of Jiangnan City.

Zheng Renhou had no choice but to take the yamen runners to the city guard's home and search the house to handle the case.

Boxes of gold and silver were carried out, shocking the people.

Zheng Renhou used the gold and silver to buy grain from the grain merchants in the city, and appropriately compensated the inn owners of all sizes in the city. Then on the afternoon of the third day, the door officially opened to welcome refugees into the city.

At that time, Zheng Renhou called on refugees outside the city to abide by order and rules after entering the city and not disturb the original people in the city. If anyone is provoked, he will immediately drive out of the city gate and no longer be allowed to enter the city.
