Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1319 I still have some concerns

In Yu Jianling's room, Cheng Bi was carefully changing his dressing.

The strong scent of medicine lingered in his nose, and the pain in his legs that never subsided made Yu Jianling frown.

Seeing his expression, Cheng Bi couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Your Majesty, have you acted too harshly? I will be careful."

Yu Jianling took a breath: "If you are serious, I will tell you. If I don't tell you, just handle it in your own way."

Cheng Bi nodded respectfully: "I understand."

When Yu Jianling saw her like this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Bai Mingwei is such a smart and clever person, how come there is a stupid girl like you? Logically speaking, there should be someone smart, not someone as dull as you."

Cheng Bi heard this and did not refute.

She lowered her eyebrows, and it could be seen from her reaction that she cared about these words.

But she still continued to change Yu Jianling's dressing seriously.

Yu Jianling didn't care that she was hurt mentally. She was just a servant. She just needed to be sensible and obedient and know how to work. What did their happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy have to do with the master?
Liu Yao, who had just walked in, had a panoramic view of this scene.

But he didn't say anything. He just sat beside Yu Jianling's bed and said, "We haven't seen you for a while. It's really ugly to see the prince look so haggard."

Yu Jianling lay on the bed with peace of mind: "I'm sorry to bother my nephew, I'm so careless, it's okay."

Liu Yao looked at him carefully, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "The injury on your face... I'm afraid it will leave scars, right? If you are lame and ugly, be careful that Mr. Chen reconciles with you."

Yu Jianling laughed loudly: "Why should a man worry about not having a wife? My nephew is worrying too much."

At this time, Cheng Bi changed the medicine, saluted Liu Yao and Yu Jianling, and then quietly stepped back.

Liu Yao glanced at her, and then said meaningfully: "Be nice to this girl, don't be so mean."

Yu Jianling teased: "She's just a little girl, why should I give her face? Your Highness, the Ninth Highness, is sorry for her, but what bad intentions do you have?"

Liu Yao put his elbows on his legs and leaned forward, approaching Yu Jianling: "It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Cheng Bi is the general's close person. Even I, the king, will not command and punish easily. If it weren't for the general, don't worry. You have no chance of being served by that girl, so please be more polite."

Yu Jianling sighed: "I think that girl is dull and not clever at all. Although her hands and feet are quite nimble, her brain is really not very lively, so I couldn't help but say a few words to her."

Liu Yao chuckled: "You are also dull, but I have never disliked you."

Yu Jianling cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness. I can't thank you enough."

Liu Yao stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Someone from the imperial court is here. It's Zhang Jingkun from the Ministry of Justice. This person is a bit difficult to deal with. I will go to the general to discuss countermeasures. You can rest in peace."

"Zhang Jingkun?" Yu Jianling frowned, "It's actually him."

Liu Yao smiled: "It's him."

Yu Jianling looked serious: "Your Highness, go ahead. Don't worry about me."

Liu Yao nodded and then left.

Yu Jianling leaned on the quilt with an indistinguishable expression: "Zhang Jingkun..."

"Greetings to Your Highness."

On the other side, when Bai Mingwei saw Liu Yao coming in, he quickly put down his official duties and stood up to salute.

Liu Yao's face was full of smile: "General, no need to be polite, just sit down."

Bai Mingwei sat down, she glanced at Liu Yao, and then asked: "Why is your Highness troubled?"

Liu Yao picked up the tea cup and opened and closed the tea lid, but he didn't taste it for a long time and fell into deep thought. After a while, he responded to Bai Mingwei's words: "I am wondering if there are any omissions."

Bai Mingwei looked away: "Your Highness must have said this because he was not bothered by Minister Zhang."

Liu Yao put down the tea cup and lost interest in drinking tea: "If you have many lice, you won't be itchy, and if you have many tents, you won't have to worry about it. Minister Zhang is just one of the many threads, and I have never regarded him as an urgent matter to deal with."

"In the past few days/I have been thinking about all the things that have happened recently. I have always been uneasy in my heart. I always feel that there must be something we have overlooked, so I simply come to talk to the general."

Bai Mingwei silently picked up the pen and put it in his hand.

The ink dripped, leaving a black stain on the paper.

She said: "Your Highness, you and I are not gods. We just need to do our best to do what we should do. As for the results, we cannot control it."

Liu Yao glanced at her thoughtfully: "The fact that the general can say such things shows that the general also has doubts in his heart."

Bai Ming slightly nodded: "Your Highness, that's right. Of all the situations Jiangbei is currently facing, the epidemic is the most uncontrollable factor."

"We can solve the difficulties faced by floods, corruption, and displaced victims, but epidemics are impossible to prevent. I am not completely sure that there will be no epidemic in Jiangbei."

Hearing this, Liu Yao nodded slightly: "It seems that the general and the king have the same worries. But as the general said just now, you and I are not gods. We can only do our best and obey the destiny."

Bai Ming nodded slightly, and then said: "His Highness comes to see you now, but is it about Fan Zhizhou?"

Liu Yao nodded: "Exactly."

He made the trip in person, certainly not to talk to Bai Mingwei about his hidden worries. Naturally, he had serious matters to discuss.

After hearing his affirmative response, Bai Mingwei said: "Thanks to the prince's discovery of something strange in the warehouse, we were able to find the stolen goods."

"Right now, Fan Zhizhou has been detained. As long as Fan Zhizhou is solved, the remaining officials will not be a problem. Then we can take this opportunity to eliminate the officials in Jiangbei. It's just..."

Liu Yao took over the words: "It's just that it's not difficult to prove Fan Zhizhou's crime. After all, the stolen goods have been found."

"But if we can't take this opportunity to get rid of those profiteers and evil businessmen, then the new batch of officials will be poisoned soon after they take office, and corruption problems will still emerge in endlessly."

Bai Ming slightly nodded in agreement: "What Your Highness is thinking is also what I am thinking about. I am currently digging out the merchants involved. I believe it won't take long before they will surface one by one."

When Liu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "I feel reassured by the words of the general. In addition, I have some ideas that I would like to discuss with the general."

Bai Mingwei looked solemn: "Your Highness, please speak."

Liu Yao thought for a moment and confessed to Bai Mingwei: "In fact, I want to use Zhang Jingkun's ability. How does the general view this?"

Bai Ming was silent for a moment, and then said: "Shilang Zhang is an official promoted from the head of a county and has more than twenty years of experience in trial cases."

"Among all the officials, he is indeed the best choice. If we can get his help, the corruption case will be done with twice the result with half the effort."

Liu Yao nodded, but he also had concerns: "But this person is particularly old-fashioned, and he is the spy sent to Jiangbei by his father."

"As soon as he got off the sedan chair, he gave me a warning. If the power of trial is given to him, I'm afraid you and I will be hindered in every way in our next actions."

Bai Mingwei thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness wants to borrow his ability, but you cannot give him full responsibility."

Liu Yao nodded again and gave a positive answer:

"Yes, if he holds this knife in his hand, it must be a good knife; but if he doesn't hold it in his hand, there is always the risk of being injured by him."

"So I want to know, does the general have a way to use him while keeping him under control?"
