Chapter 3722 Princess Nine Marries Tianhai County
After lunch, Mrs. Sun was surrounded by women like Planning Dayun Bao Suyun.

They used to be friends in the village for half a lifetime, old sisters.

The Sun family stayed in the capital for more than eight months this trip, and they were really not used to having one less person to talk to in the village.

It was rare for the assassin Sun to come back, and they would definitely gather around Sun to ask a lot of new things outside.

As for Mrs. Sun, she has always been thinking about these old sisters in the village, and she has a stomach full of words and wants to come back and talk to them.

Although Xiaohua, Xiaoduo and Xiaojie can talk with Mrs. Sun, they are juniors after all, and it is more enjoyable to say some things with their peers.

Both Yang Ruoqing and Da'an knew that Mrs. Sun had been holding back for a long time, so they all encouraged Mrs. Sun to go to the house.

Xiaohua slept with Feng'er, while Yang Ruoqing went to the study to talk with Luo Fengtang and Da'an.

When they got to the study and closed the door, the first thing Yang Ruoqing was most concerned about was Luo Fengtang's going to Beijing.

"I didn't bother to ask before, Tang Yazi, why did Qi Xingyun call you to Beijing this time?" She asked.

Without Luo Fengtang making a sound, Da'an said first: "Sister, why are you calling the emperor by his first name? If someone with a heart hears this, it will be a disaster."

"It's just the three of us here, no outsiders, don't be afraid." Yang Ruoqing said with a giggle.

"Besides, I used to call him by his name all the time. I'm used to it. I'll change it outside." She said.

Only then did Da An nod his head reassuringly.

Yang Ruoqing was also able to turn her gaze back to Luo Fengtang, looking at him with questioning eyes.

Luo Fengtang said: "Before it was inconvenient to say it in the letter from home, I just planned to tell you face to face when I got home."

"What? The matter is very difficult? Can't explain clearly in a few words?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Luo Fengtang said: "The emperor summoned me to Beijing to discuss the marriage of Ninth Princess Qi Aoshan."

"What?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened in surprise.

"What? Princess Ninth has finally found Ruyi's son-in-law and remarried?"

"Has the marriage been settled? Is it the son or grandson of a powerful family?" She asked.

Luo Fengtang said: "He is the son of the governor of Tianhai County."

"What? Did I hear correctly? The dignified First Princess of Qi is married to the son of a sheriff? Doesn't this marriage sound like a good match?" She asked puzzled.

"Princess Ninth willing?" She continued to ask.

Luo Fengtang smiled and said nothing, which was the default.

Seeing that Yang Ruoqing was still puzzled, Luo Fengtang coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor wanted to find a princess from among the royal family to marry to Tianhai County, but he couldn't find a suitable one."

"The Ninth Princess recommends herself and is willing to marry the son of the governor of Tianhai County."

"Wait……"

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to interrupt Luo Fengtang's words, the news was too explosive, she needed some time to sort out her thoughts.

"Is there something different about the sheriff of Tianhai County? Otherwise, would he be able to marry the first princess as his daughter-in-law?" she asked.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Qing'er is really smart, she can guess all of this."

Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes.

"Stop boasting, and don't play tricks. Hurry up and reveal the answer. I like to hear the origin of this marriage!" she urged.

Luo Fengtang said: "About this matter, it's better to let Da'an talk about it."

"Da'an?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Da'an again.

Da'an took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said it to Yang Ruoqing.

"Sister, I know you are impatient, so I'll cut to the chase, make a long story short, and focus on what's important." Da'an said.

"Tianhai County is a city on the southeast coast of Daqi, similar to Qing'an County."

"In the past, Tianhai County was a very prosperous county, and the people had ample food and clothing,"

"But since this county magistrate took office, Tianhai County has been getting worse year by year."

"Could it be that this sheriff is a corrupt official with a black heart?" She asked.

The corner of Da'an's lips curled into a sarcasm, and he said: "The world is as black as crows, and you can't pick one out of a hundred people who are not greedy for officials."

"What's more, when the fish is clear, there will be no fish, and the horse will not be fat without night grass,"

"The emperor will turn a blind eye to the petty corruption that can be controlled to a certain extent, and will not delve into it."

"It's just that the sheriff of Tianhai County has enriched himself a bit too much."

"If it's just a simple search for people's fat and people's anointing, it's nothing more than punishment,"

"And this county guard has seized so many people's fat and anointing, which made the people complain."

"It's just that his life is still the same as before, with three meals a day, neither extravagant nor extravagant, and the house at home is just a three-entry house,"

"When the Supreme Emperor was in office, he once admired the county magistrate very much, and thought about promoting him."

"Later, a minister from the court came in secretly and said that there was something wrong with the county magistrate."

"What's the problem?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Da'an said: "I have looted so much money but I don't spend it very much. I don't sell fields to buy land, and I don't buy shops."

"Even there are only two concubines. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the whole family has to fast."

"Then where did the money go?"

"If it's really so simple, why do you need to search for so much money?"

"Besides, this money-grabbing matter was carried out in secret. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a very, very clean and good sheriff..."

"Even though the people in Tianhai County have been troubled in recent years, these things have not spread to the capital. The common people wanted to go to the capital to sue, but they were all suppressed by the county guard."

"When the Supreme Emperor became suspicious and wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter, it happened to coincide with the false emperor's rebellion. After that, the Supreme Emperor's dragon health was not good, and then the Southwest War resumed, and the matter of Tianhai County was delayed again and again."

"After the new emperor came to power, some people came forward again, saying that the people of Tianhai County are struggling to make ends meet, especially this year's ocean climate is changeable, and many fishermen can only make a living by fishing at sea because their land has been forcibly confiscated by the government."

"The changeable ocean climate has caused many fishermen to die in the sea. Their wives, children, and children could not wait for food relief, and many people died of starvation. It was terrible."

"And this county guard, still doing nothing, continues to oppress the people, and the people are miserable!"

"Your Majesty ordered me to be appointed as an imperial envoy, and Qiao Zhuang entered Tianhai County to investigate and collect evidence secretly."

"On the other hand, Princess Nine's marriage is actually just a cover, and the real purpose is to investigate the motives of the sheriff's corruption and breaking the law over the years, as well as the whereabouts of those gold and silver treasures!"

Hearing Da'an said so much, Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.

"Qi Xingyun asked me to escort the Ninth Princess to get married and go to Tianhai County to cooperate with Da'an. As long as Da'an has evidence, I can send troops immediately!" Luo Fengtang also took the words off.

Yang Ruoqing also started to use her brain to think quickly: "Tianhai County is separated by a sea from Fusang Country to the east. Is it possible that the money has been shipped overseas?"

"There is also the Black Lotus Sect. Is it possible that the governor of Tianhai County is just a tool for the Black Lotus Sect to make money?"
