I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 380 Suffering
Countless thoughts surged in Cui Qingyuan's mind, but he couldn't hold it back after all.

"Second prince, Master Zheng, the common people in the Nanyue Mansion can no longer survive being exploited by Chen Tai.

If you don't open a warehouse to distribute the settlement allowance, can you just watch His Majesty's subjects starve to death like this? "

Hearing what Cui Qingyuan said, the second prince's face drooped even more.

"Master Cui, there are priorities.

Moreover, what is Master Chen like? How can you make a judgment in just a few words?
What is going on with the money, we have to check carefully to find out.

Therefore, I can't move even more.

Otherwise, how can I explain to my father? "

Cui Qingyuan's face twitched suddenly, and he raised his eyes to look at Zheng Zixiu who was beside him.

"Master Zheng, do you think so too?"

Zheng Zixiu's eyelids drooped, and he replied indifferently.

"Master Cui, I know that Master Cui is dedicated to serving the people, but the money really needs to be verified before making a decision."

"Well, well, what an upright Zheng Zixiu."

Cui Qingyuan didn't expect that it's fine for the second prince to say that, but Zheng Zixiu actually said the same thing, pointing at him angrily and saying hello three times, then walked away.

"It's really unreasonable. After returning to Beijing, I will definitely read this Cui Qingyuan book."

Seeing this, the second prince immediately became furious and said viciously.

After speaking, he glanced at Zheng Zixiu who was half a step behind him.

Originally, he was a little worried that Zheng Zixiu would be a hindrance, but he didn't expect this to be a wise one?
Zheng Zixiu was scolded by Cui Qingyuan pointing his nose. He knew that the second prince was watching him, but he just looked at his nose and heart, as if he didn't notice.

Before coming, his father had repeatedly told him.

Just investigate the case and don't meddle in other things.

Sure enough, the second prince was very satisfied with his performance.

The next step is to investigate the matter of Chen Tai's assassination, although the murderer has not been caught yet.

But regarding Chen Tai's actions in Nanyue Mansion, they quickly found out the bottom line.

And the silver and jewels in the private treasury, even the second prince, being a prince, couldn't help being surprised.

This Chen Tai's pocket is actually richer than that of this dignified prince.

In the capital, everyone knew how poor Nanyue Mansion was. Who would have thought that in such a poor place, Chen Tai would be so rich.

Even if the second prince is fighting for power with the third prince again, he will turn a blind eye to the greed of his subordinates.

But no matter how greedy he was, he didn't drive the common people to death!

What he was fighting with the third child was also the seat under his father, and when he sat on that seat, the common people in this world would be his own common people.

Look at the skinny and skinny people in the city of Nanyue Prefecture, and the deserted streets.

All he knew was that Chen Tai had simply scraped the ground of the people in Nanyue Mansion, squeezed out the oil from their bones and fished them out.

However, what Chen Tai did, the second prince just sighed, and soon became interested in this large sum of money.

Anyway, he didn't get this money by scraping people's fat and anointing. Now that it is in his hands, it must be used wisely.

Therefore, under his suggestion, when Zheng Zixiu came to check the amount embezzled by Chen Tai, the ledger presented in front of him was obviously missing a lot.

The missing ones were naturally sent away by the second prince's confidants.

Even if such a large amount is missing, the amount is huge.

Zheng Zixiu quickly delivered the files he checked to the emperor's desk in the capital.

After seeing the contents of the dossier, the emperor almost fainted from anger.

"Decree, I want to punish the three clans of Chen and Tai."

When he came back to his senses, the emperor roared angrily.

He originally thought it was conspiracy to cause chaos, but he didn't expect that it was the government forcing the people to rebel.

Zheng Zixiu was able to become the young minister of Dali Temple, so his writing style is naturally not bad.

The tragic situation of the people under the Nanyue Mansion outlined in his pen is just like before his eyes.

Moreover, regarding Chen Tai's assassination, nine out of ten it was done by people in the martial arts.

Regarding this result, the emperor's face was very ugly.

The ancients said: Confucianism violates law with literature, while chivalry violates prohibition with martial arts.

Those in the martial arts world consider themselves chivalrous men who fight for the common people.

But in the eyes of the emperor, that is no law.

Today he killed officials in the name of chivalry, so can he rebel in the name of chivalry next time?

Therefore, no matter how wrong Chen Tai was, that was not the reason why others could kill him at will.

The third prince originally offended those aristocratic families in the capital because of the case investigation.

In the capital, it can be said that the wind and the trees are full of soldiers.

However, Chen Tai's parents, who were originally in the capital, cried bitterly and begged His Majesty to give Chen Tai justice.

In a blink of an eye, all three families of the Chen family were imprisoned.

When the members of the Chen family who were imprisoned were panicking, the emperor learned that countless treasures had been confiscated from the Chen family's ancestor's house. Among them, the golden wall made of gold bricks on four sides in the Chen family's old man's study was shocking.

Even the emperor is not as extravagant as building a wall with gold bricks!

Looking at the dismantled gold bricks being carried up to the main hall, the emperor almost bit off the roots of his teeth.

"Chop, I'll kill all these moths!"

Following an imperial decree from the emperor, the vegetable market at the Meridian Gate is filled with fresh blood every day.

There are more than 100 members of the three families of the Chen family, and they have been beheaded for several days before they are all beheaded.

The third prince did not expect that Chen Tai would be so greedy.

Thinking about Lai Xingchun, the silver that is paid to him every year is nothing compared to this Chen Tai.

Lai Xingchun was in a courtyard, with his head resting on the arms of the person behind him.

But for some unknown reason, he sneezed several times.

He couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his nose softly, then sat up.

"Master, why are you so sad?"

Seeing him get up, the woman behind him leaned forward on his shoulder and asked softly.

"Woman, just serve my master well."

The matter in Nanyue Mansion is not far from Mingzhou Mansion.

Therefore, Chen Tai, Futai of Nanyue Prefecture, was assassinated to death, but the case of Chen Tai's corruption was found out, and Lai Xingchun's ears were soon heard.

Waiting for the news in the letter from Fei Ge in the capital, Lai Xingchun was so scared that he didn't sleep well for several days.

There was really no other way but to run to Tian Hongyu's side.

It was only because Tian Hongyu didn't know where to learn a set of pressing techniques, after Lai Xingchun was pressed, it was finally possible to get a good night's sleep.

However, this is also a temporary solution.

Today's Lai Xingchun has long been stimulated by the emperor's practice of punishing the three clans.

As long as he closes his eyes, he can seem to be able to see the people up and down in Lai's house, with their heads falling to the ground and blood flowing like rivers.

But now he is the third prince's man, how can he quit if he wants to?
Now riding a tiger is hard to get off, if he is half-hearted, the first one to kill him will be the Third Prince.

Therefore, at this moment, Lai Xingchun was extremely tormented in his heart.
