Chapter 22 Thorough Investigation

One seeks peace in the prosperous era of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the other tells the blood and tears of the people in the dawn. Such irony is also shocking.

The court was silent, some could not help but red their eyes, while others clenched their fists. They were both officials of the Yuan Dynasty. They were also young and frivolous and enthusiastic, but as time passed, those years had been blown away in the dust, but now they were drawn out by the two young people.

Qin Yuexi had met Lou Jiuge and had drunk the tea he served. He couldn't help but look at Ya'er again. Is this a coincidence or intentional arrangement? But every word Lou Jiuge said was in his heart. For the fragrance of a cup of tea in the palace, behind it was the blood and tears of the people.

"Go, help up!" Emperor Yongyuan was extremely angry, but became even calmer. General Manager Yang immediately walked down the imperial stairs and personally helped Lou Jiuge up. His thin body almost fell down when he swayed for too long. He was held by Yaer next to him and barely stopped.

Emperor Yongyuan looked at the civil and military officials in the court, and General Manager Yang came to help him. He threw him away and slowly walked down the steps. "Very good, I only realized today that I almost became a foolish monarch. If it weren't for what Lou Aiqing said today, I was still kept in the dark and became an emperor who was deceived by others. I didn't know that the tea I drank was exchanged for my people's lives. When will I be deceived by you? Ah?"

"His Majesty calms down."

Looking at the court officials who were kneeling all over the ground, Emperor Yongyuan walked up to the imperial stairs and sat on the dragon throne again, living up to his previous radiance, suddenly looking much older, but his intimidation was even worse.

"Li Zongyin, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of my land household registration and tax and finance. Is this how I manage it? The tribute needs used in the palace have purchase expenses. When did there be any levy? What about the silver that was originally intended to be purchased for the people? If the items collected are subject to natural disasters or nothing to be released, they should be reported and replaced. What should I report? Tell me, how do you, the Minister of Revenue?" A series of questions, Emperor Yongyuan asked red faces and his anger could not be eliminated.

Li Zongyin, who was named, knelt on the ground, and his body was already wet with sweat. "I am incompetent, I am shamed by Your Majesty, and I am suffering by the people." After hearing Lou Gejiu's words, he already knew that he was unable to escape today. No matter who did this matter and who involved it, it was always under the jurisdiction of his Ministry of Revenue.

"Check it out! If you can't find it out, you, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, don't do it anymore; the Ministry of Justice will assist in the investigation. No matter who it is, once it is reported truthfully, I will see who gave them the courage." Emperor Yongyuan stroked his chest, and it seemed that he was really angry. A festive top scholar faced with a saint made such a situation...

Li Zongyin and Zhang Hantong, the Minister of Justice, received the emperor's order, and knew in his heart that it would be impossible to be good if this matter was not found out.

"Lou Aiqing, I will give you this matter and give an explanation to the people of Lingnan. If you encounter any injustice in the future, you can advise yourself. I forgive you for not guilty." After arranging the investigation and handling, you must always appease the miserable.

Lou Jiuge knelt down again to thank him, and the rewards and advice were convenient. In the future, there would be more and more opportunities for the saints. They came from a poor family and had no support. It would be best to win over and control them. The emperor wanted to use this person. Everyone was very bright in their hearts and was also the luck of the top scholar. But that advice was indeed beautiful. He only said that the emperor was blinded, and he was all for the sake of His Majesty and pushed all his faults to others. If he said a mistake, his life might be gone, and there would be no other things later.

"Lou Aiqing's family is in Lingnan. Let's do this. The Ministry of Revenue will see if there is a suitable house later. Build one and give it to the top scholar's house. Prince, you can supervise it and do it well." After that, he looked at Ya'er again. Ya'er was a straightforward person and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't need it." Emperor Yongyuan was so happy that he suddenly felt that the female top scholar was not so disliked.

"Okay, I'll leave the court." Emperor Yongyuan was really in a bad mood today.

After the court was dispersed, the court officials were also a little tired, and some even had to go back to the yamen to work. Instead, the two top scholars were relatively leisurely. An ordinary practice was to arrange things at home for three days and not officially take office three days later.

Lou Jiuge was invited by the Ministry of Revenue to choose a house. Qin Yuexi gave a few words, then left the palace gate and got on the carriage. The carriage of the Luo family happened to pass by. Luo Lixun immediately stopped, got off his own carriage, and followed him on the prince's carriage.

Now that's what... are you not aware of the taboo? The officials at the palace gate had to bow their heads and pretend to turn a blind eye. In the carriage of the Luo family, Mr. Luo wanted to hold his son, but was stopped by his father.

The eldest prince sat in the carriage and looked at this scene thoughtfully. Today, he was extremely quiet in the court. After watching for a while, he let the coachman leave. King Jing did not have the heart to watch it at all. He came down from the court and returned home with great worries.

The news from the palace gate soon reached Emperor Yongyuan's ears. Emperor Yongyuan, who was already tired, leaned softly on the couch chair, holding two golden beads in his hand to play with it. This was his habitual movement when he was thinking about it.

"There is no need to avoid me. What should the prince do? The boy from the Luo family has always been a cautious person, but now he has become a little relieved." General Manager Yang knew that Emperor Yongyuan was talking to himself, and the palace servant had long been dismissed by him.

Emperor Yongyuan turned his head and looked at him, "Everyone said that Linlang Yinzhuang is rich enough to rival a country. What did that girl say today? The head of Linlang Yinzhuang is the housekeeper of her lady, the girl is the top scholar, and there is such a housekeeper. How do you think the girl of the Bai family is? Why is the prince planning for her like this? Or is he planning for himself?" Linlang Yinzhuang is worth several of his national treasury...

General Manager Yang narrowed his eyes, lowered his head, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I only know how to serve Your Majesty. How can other slaves know so much? However, no matter how good the girl in the Bai family is, she is still a woman. She will not make achievements like a man. She will marry her at that time. Your Majesty said that this is the case."

When Emperor Yongyuan heard this, he glanced at him thoughtfully, then laughed, pointed at Mr. Yang and said, "You old guy, you are just a slippery person. Let's go. The weather is good today. I'll go see Bai Zhaoyi."

"Yes!" Manager Yang hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to serve.

The palace gate was not out of the Prince's Mansion, and it was not enough to arrive before the meeting. Seeing that a carriage had already been parked at the Prince's Mansion, it was the carriage that Lei Ben was rushing. Seeing Qin Yuexi's carriage coming, he hurriedly said politely to the car: "Miss Bai, please get off the car."

Qing Jin got out of the car and happened to see Qin Yuexi and Luo Lixun getting out of the car and walking, "Your Highness invites you, but is there something wrong?" It happened that there was nothing wrong today, and the car was waiting, so she came over to take a look.

"Let's go and talk to the mansion."

Everyone in Prince Luo Lixun’s mansion knew him, but this woman was so bold that she didn’t walk like an ordinary woman. She walked with the prince and the eldest son of the Luo family, and her aura was not at all, and she behaved generously and casually. This was the first time the prince brought a woman into the mansion, and someone would inevitably look at her with the courage.

"Your mansion is quite big." Qing Jin's somewhat lazy voice was cold, and her long black robe was dragged to the ground without caring.

"Do you like it?" Qin Yuexi asked casually.

Qing Jin shook his head very directly, it was too big. He walked into the mansion for a long time and didn't know where to go.

"Waiting outside, no one is allowed to come in. I will ask the butler to come to the pot and clouds." When Qin Yuexi entered the study yard, he ordered Lei Ben.

Only then did Qing Jin notice that the man who drove the car for him just now was as skilled as Bai Mo, and he was just as taciturn as ever.

The three of them entered the study. Qin Yuexi's study was very large, with a place to entertain guests on the right, a desk and a bookshelf on the left, and a large screen on the front, with a lying couch behind the screen for rest.
