The reborn prince's wife

Originally, after the rebellion of King An subsided, the officials in the capital thought that they could at least get a period of respite. Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, another shocking case occurred in Yancheng, involving as many as 30 officials. Some officials from the capital were also vaguely involved in the case. This matter exploded in the court like a bomb.

Speaking of which, Yancheng is not far from the capital city, with an excellent geographical location, extending in all directions, and the waterway transportation is very convenient. The shipping is second to none in the entire Ling country. Yancheng is not bad at all compared to the capital city. Who would have imagined a development so good? In this place, such a corruption case would unexpectedly break out. I heard that the most serious case of corruption by one person in three years reached one million taels of silver, which is considered the largest case in the history of Ling Kingdom.

The emperor was furious, and dispatched Dongfang Lin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Xu Cang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to Yancheng to investigate immediately.

Before, because the city wall of Yancheng had been in disrepair for many years, the imperial court specially appropriated money to repair the city wall of Yancheng. Yancheng was regarded as a face of Lingguo, and most people who came to the capital had to pass through Yancheng. The waterway of Shangyan City is well developed. If the enemy invades through the waterway of Yancheng that day, it is completely impossible to stop it with the current city defense of Yancheng. Therefore, the imperial court will intensify efforts to let Yancheng repair the city wall.

Then who would have imagined that the officials of this party actually swallowed the money and poisoned it, and the city wall they built was useless. The imperial court sent Dongfang Lin to see for himself what their Ministry of Industry supervised. What it looks like, of course, this is also an opportunity for the emperor to set fire to the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to establish his prestige in the Ministry of Industry.

Regarding the jerry building of the city wall, the Yancheng administrator kept silent, and even secretly arrested the two people who discovered it, thinking that this matter would be suppressed like this, but who knew that only two days later, the court would know, which made The officials in Yancheng really don't understand. Could it be that some people have no predictions? Otherwise, how would they know that the city wall of Yancheng is simply a "tofu dregs project", which swallowed several million taels of silver from the imperial court and rebuilt it with bricks and stones covered with earth? For the city wall, the price difference fell into the pockets of Yancheng officials.

Dongfang Lin is a talent in engineering construction, and he can tell the truth at a glance. The emperor sent him down to Yancheng mainly to find out the officials involved in the case. In the emperor's view, building the city wall is a top priority.

Just like the cities in the north, although they are not big, the fortification of the walls is beyond doubt. This is also one of the reasons why the Liang Kingdom has been unable to capture several times. The towns in the north are difficult to attack and easy to defend. A city defense built with the local geographical location in mind.

Under the delegation of power by the emperor, the case of the collapse of the city wall led Dongfang Lin and Master Xu to uncover a series of officials. Although the officials involved in the case in the capital were not recorded, they heard that they had written a list and prepared to submit it to the emperor.

At this moment, Ji Boping became anxious. Although he did not participate in the case of the collapse of the city wall, the person most deeply involved in this case was his own. He didn't want to rescue the person, but he was afraid that he would be implicated In addition, when the time comes to find out that he is the person most deeply involved in the case, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to get rid of it. He is the most clear about these aristocratic families in the capital, and he has done a lot of things that have been pushed down by everyone, so This case must be resolved quickly and cannot be investigated any further.

At this time, he thought of Dongfang Ye. Dongfang Lin was in charge of this case, and the recent events made him doubt whether it was Dongfang Ye's work. After discussing with his elder brother Ji Donglin, he sent someone to Dongfang Ye was invited to come to the mansion. After the three of them discussed for a whole night, Dongfang Ye finally left with a smile on his face.

No one knew what they were discussing, but Dongfang Ye's victorious attitude was clearly revealed. I am afraid that the Ji family compromised something in this matter, and it must have made Dongfang Ye earn enough to let him go.

After Dongfang Ye left, the case of the collapse of the city wall was settled. What people did not expect was that people under the Yang family were also involved in the case. Fortunately, no one from the direct descendant of the Yang family was involved, but in the eyes of the court, the Yang family might also be involved Nothing to do, although there is no evidence, but the Yang family's good impression in front of the emperor is also gone.

Unexpectedly, the two powerful officials of the Ji family leaned towards Dongfang Ye. This was a reminder of the direction of the court. More and more people leaned towards Dongfang Ye. It was scorching hot.

At this time, when Dongfang Lin's place was also full of people, Dongfang Ye was rushing to the palace in a carriage. Now he only wanted to see Liu Yun, and he didn't want to care about anything else.

"Master, the case in Yancheng seems a bit strange." Luo Chen frowned slightly, always feeling that this matter went so smoothly.

Dongfang Ye nodded. Not only was the Yancheng case very strange, but the attitude of the Ji family was also very strange. Even if the second master of the Ji family had a deep entanglement with Yancheng's case, they would not back down indefinitely. Dongfang Ye tried it out. It seemed that they were quite afraid of themselves, as if they were still holding something that could threaten them.

Although Dongfang Ye doesn't know what's going on with Ji's family at all, he won't miss the matter of climbing along the pole. Since they think he has something that can affect the overall situation, then they think so, anyway. For him, it doesn't have much impact. It would be good if the Ji family could shut up and not mention Liuyun and Mixin because of this incident.

"My subordinates have investigated secretly, and it seems that someone is playing a role in it." Luo Chen said it very cryptically, after all, at this point, it is still difficult to tell whether it is an enemy or a friend.

This has always been the case in the officialdom. If there is an interest, they will cooperate, and if there is a conflict of interest, they will tear each other up. No one needs to be polite.

"Continue to investigate." Dongfang Ye pursed his lips, wondering if it might be the emperor's handwriting, but based on his understanding of the emperor, he is not such a boring person, so he probably wouldn't meddle in his affairs.

"Yes." Luochen replied.

Hearing the carriage outside the palace gate, he didn't expect that the emperor's confidant father-in-law was already waiting at the palace gate. When he saw him, he immediately rushed up to meet him, making Dongfang Ye slightly frown. This feeling of being controlled by others was very uncomfortable.

"The servant has been waiting for the young master here for a long time. The emperor asked the young master to come over." This father-in-law is the emperor's confidant, and everyone in the palace respects him.

"Let's go." Although he wanted to see Liu Yun very much, since the emperor invited him, it would not be good to refute the emperor's face.

But along the way, Dongfang Ye kept wondering what the emperor would do with him. Of course, the most important thing is that he designed him like this, so he should get some interest back.
