Hanzhi sighed, "Then there is no need for people to go to Beijing to complain."

Cheng Youping nodded, "The Duan family has been tyrannical in their ancestral land. In Hezhou, they are already the emperor of the country. They are extravagant on weekdays and even scatter gold and silver when walking. As the Duan family is the maternal family of the seventh prince, it is impossible for the seventh prince not to know that Concubine De It’s impossible for the empress not to know.”

Yiman looked over lightly, "How do you know that the Duan family is so extravagant?"

Cheng Youping sighed, "The Duan family will give gifts to nearby forces every festival. Gaoyang's army is not far from Hezhou. The Duan family once gave their brother a gold vessel during the New Year, and they also thought about marrying their daughter."

Yiman smiled slightly, "You want Gao Yangjun to work for the seventh prince just for a piece of gold?"

Cheng Youping tilted her head slightly and said, "I have no intention of complaining privately."

"I know, you don't have to worry."

No wonder the emperor wanted to take action, but he was already so extravagant and rampant.

Excessive levies and excessive expropriation, and the demarcation of territory for the king, will make the people miserable. If this continues, they will definitely rebel.

I just know this, but there is no evidence. Even if there is evidence, it cannot be directly related to the seventh prince.

"Gao Yang's army is close to Jindu and Hezhou. So, does the Zhou family know what the Duan family has done?"

Cheng Youping shook her head slightly, "This minister doesn't know, she should know about it. After all, most people around Hezhou know something about it."

Yiman raised his eyebrows, "Although Jindu is my fiefdom, I have no jurisdiction over it. I wonder if the Zhou family in Jindu is like the Duan family?"

Cheng Youping smiled slightly, "Although the Zhou family is tough in Jindu, there is no evidence of extravagance. I heard that five or six years ago, they were going to follow the path of the Duan family. It has gotten better and better in recent years. I have taken them in. Many people fled from Hezhou."

Yiman nodded, "We still need to make a fuss about this matter from the little eunuch who was arrested. The Duan family is extravagant, and the concubine De's pomp is also grand. It is impossible for the Duan family not to pay tribute in private. If we go from Hezhou, the mountains are high and the road is long. I The court is strict about raising private soldiers, so they will definitely arrange escort agencies. Lu Bo, go and ask someone to find out about their transportation routes and cycles."

Lu Bo chuckled, "Princess, are you going to rob me?"

Yi Yi smiled helplessly, "It's useless to rob him. Just find out the cycle and make sure he enters the Duan Mansion in the middle of Beijing."

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

"Songguo, you go and keep an eye on Concubine Duan De, but you don't have to do it yourself. The Qingning Palace and Concubine Duan De are fighting fiercely now, so you just have to chat more with the people in Qingning Palace."

Pinecone's eyes lit up, "Yes, I understand."

In the prison, Yiman looked at Kang Cong standing in front of him, holding his forehead and sighing helplessly.

Kang Cong's face was gloomy, "Why are the eldest princess sighing? Treating the prison as the private prison of Qingsi Palace should be the sigh of a humble minister."

"Master Kang, you also know that I once worked in Taiyuan Hospital, and that Xiao Ruizi was kind to me. I just went to visit my benefactor, why should I be nervous? Can I please make it easier for you, Master Kang?"

Kang Cong lowered his eyes, "Then the eldest princess still wants Wei Chen to catch him?"

He sighed helplessly, "What can I do? Mistakes should be punished by the law."

Pinecone rolled his eyes and saw a fierce tiger catching prey, hugging Kang Cong with his arms and waist.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Yiman, who reacted the fastest, grabbed Ji Lan's hand and rushed in. Lu Bo glanced behind him and quickly followed.

The prison guard blocking the front did not dare to attack Yiman directly, so he actually broke in directly.

When he was in the prison cell, Yiman couldn't help laughing and shook his head.

Ji Lan glanced back worriedly, "Princess, will Lord Kang catch the pine cones?"

Lu Bo looked like he was watching the excitement, "No, no, I've seen it all, Lord Kang doesn't dare to touch the pine cone."

Yiman looked back and pointed with his familiarity with the prison, "Let's go and have a look at those rows of cells."

"Yes."

The three of them searched two rows of cells and finally saw the bloody little Ruizi.I saw Xiao Ruizi being tied to the iron frame. Her fingers could no longer see the shape. The clothes on her body were black and red, and the background of the eunuch uniform could no longer be seen.

His head drooped, with only one breath left.

No wonder Concubine De and the Seventh Prince are so calm. This little Ruizi is indeed a loyal person.

"It seems that there is nothing to ask."

Lu Bo looked around at the torture instruments and said, "Princess, if you don't ask any more, you might find out something."

"He was so determined to die that he didn't even care about the dripping of saliva."

Sure enough, the saliva in Xiao Ruizi's mouth mixed with blood dripped to the ground.

Lu Bo bent down and looked up, Xiao Ruizi's eyes were lifeless, like a walking corpse.

"so what should I do now?"

Yiman sneered, "Even a corpse is useful, not to mention he's not dead yet."

Yiman bent down slightly, stared at Xiao Ruizi sideways, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you think that if you die, you will not be in danger to the Seventh Prince? Next, I will use you to knock him down."

Xiao Ruizi finally regained consciousness, fear and pain flashed in her eyes, and she stared at Yiman's eyes.

"Since he was about to die, he put a wooden stick through his lower body and out of his mouth."

"Princess--"

Hearing this, Ji Lan took a step forward and lowered his voice in Yiman's ear, "Princess, if this kind of punishment continues, he will definitely not survive."

Yiman also thought that such a punishment would be too cruel, but it was not a cruel punishment, which could not shock people's hearts, let alone touch the Seventh Prince.

When she was trapped in the Qingsi Hall, the restless sounds in the palace never stopped, so it was better to use strong pressure to shock her.

"Ah-ah-"

Xiao Ruizi suddenly went crazy, and Yiman slowly took a step back.

"We must spread the word about what he suffered and let the Seventh Prince know that Xiao Ruizi is so loyal to the Lord."

Lu Bo responded and went down to make arrangements.

Ji Lan helped Yiman out of the torture chamber, "Princess, if this spreads to all the palaces, will Your Majesty and Your Majesty hold you accountable?"

Yiman shook his head slightly, "The queen is fighting fiercely with Concubine De now. She slapped the seventh prince in the face, which is equivalent to hitting Concubine De in the face. She probably thought I was helping her. As for the emperor, he appointed the crown prince and took the throne. Dance in front of him, he is about to hit the seventh prince."

"Yes, princess, let's get out of here first."

Yiman nodded. When he came out of the prison gate, Kang Cong was gone, and Song Guo was standing at the door waiting.

Yiman glanced at Song Guo jokingly, "Maybe there will be many opportunities to deal with the prison in the future, so you can be responsible for the communication between the prison."

Pinecone reacted and stamped his feet. Instead of showing shyness, he pouted his lips in anger.

It seems that Song Guo is young and hasn't reacted much yet.

As soon as Man walked out of the prison, he heard a shrill scream that resounded through the sky and chilled people's hearts.

"Lu Bo's movements are quite fast."

Ji Lan couldn't help but touch his arm and glanced at Yi Man, "Be sure to spread the word to the Seventh Prince."

"Yes, don't worry."
