Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 359 Disposal
"Then if we don't reveal this matter, the crown prince will not be questioned by the emperor? He has already been so bad, and the common people have already complained about such a country. In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before he falls. thing!"

This was not said by Xue Hong, but by Xue Pan who was one step behind.At this time, he was walking towards the study.

Seeing that he was speaking without restraint, Xue Yi reprimanded: "You are such an old child, why don't you talk too seriously? It's fine to talk about it at home, but if you let someone who wants to hear it outside, then it's fine. ?”

Xue Pan sneered and said, "Outside? I'm afraid outside is more serious and ugly than these words. Even the beggars on the street say that. Who can blame this? It's not that His Royal Highness is incompetent, similar to Qiu'er There are so many such things happening all over the world, and all the blame falls on the crown prince. If the common people don’t scold him, who will they scold him? In the past, when the officers and soldiers heard such words, some people came forward to stop them. Now, they don’t even care about it. Yes. Father, tell me, can the crown prince sit for a long time?"

"What... what?!"

Although Xue Yi's official position is not big, he is a real manager. He is busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry on weekdays. He can no longer be a soy sauce official in the General Administration Department It's so relaxing.If it was still like that time, with plenty of time to walk the streets and play with birds and dogs all day long, and to listen to a lot of gossip from the market, he must have heard the rumors about the prince long ago.

And after hearing some words, you can be more clear about the situation in front of you, and maybe you won't be so hesitant.

But Xue Yi still sighed: "If I don't recognize Ruyi, I don't care whether the prince is dead or alive. Although he has a high status, he will hurt your aunt no matter what... Right now, I have to take care of you no matter what. The thoughts of your sister Ruyi, after all, that is her biological father..."

Why didn't Xue Hong understand what Xue Yi meant?It's just that sometimes things just can't have the best of both worlds. If everything can have a satisfactory ending, then everyone in this world will have no worries.

Xue Hong also sighed: "Father, you believe me, Prince... If there is a day when you are pulled off the horse, there will be no more things like Xue Qiu, and there will be no less things if you don't. He himself doesn't have the ability to be that supreme position, and time is fate, so he can't blame others. Besides, although elder sister Ruyi is the prince's biological daughter, Xue Qiu is also her cousin. Could it be that she has the heart to look at Xue Qiu Did you just die for no reason?"

Xue Pan also said: "Yes, father. I think sister Ruyi is very independent, very different from women in recent days. I think the reason why the crown prince is up or down, I'm afraid she has a plan in her heart." Woolen cloth!"

Xue Yi smiled wryly: "Anyway, you brothers will go to the Princess's Mansion tomorrow, tell Ruyi about this first, and see her attitude."

Unexpectedly, when the two Panhong brothers went to the Princess's Mansion the next day to talk about this matter, Ruyi turned her head in anger: "What a magistrate of Jiangning! The rich and rich land in the south of the Yangtze River is so rich, the post of magistrate may not be very clean, right?" ? Just tell Ama to check his integrity and he can be sentenced to death, let alone killing innocent people is not a serious matter? Pan'er, Hong'er, you go back first, I will go to the palace to report to Ama. I haven't met Qiu'er, but he is also my younger brother, how can he die innocently? If I don't give an explanation, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see my third uncle and third aunt. Others are bullying us. , it’s impossible to let things go like this, we must make the perpetrators pay the price they deserve!”

Ruyi has always been a gentle woman, Xue Pan and Xue Hong seldom see her with such courage.Xue Hong laughed secretly in her heart, after all, she was named the princess, the unique imperial domineering aura of the royal family is subtly changing some of Ruyi's characteristics.

Panhong and his wife returned home as promised and told their father Xue Yi everything Princess Ruyi said. Xue Yi just nodded and didn't say anything for a while.

Since the crown prince was deposed and re-established, there have been many reports and reports to the prince about violations of laws and disciplines by the prince's officials, whether they are officials or other officials in the court, and some have even been impeached by Emperor Kangxi. I was so angry that I asked the prince to clean up the atmosphere of his officials. The prince only did superficial things and never dealt with it seriously. It was like breaking the pot.

So Xue Yi didn't react much to Princess Ruyi's words, thinking, even if it is Princess Ruyi, the prince's attitude has been slumped for a long time, how can he wake up all at once?
Unexpectedly, just after Ruyi said that she wanted to enter the palace to seek an explanation, within three days, the East Palace had already sent someone to Jiangnan to investigate the prefect of Jiangning.

Later investigations became more vigorous and vigorous. Within half a month, the people sent out by the East Palace returned to the capital. Not only did they lock up the prefect of Jiangning himself, but they also listed him with 83 crimes, among which were "disregarding human life and conniving slaves in the government" Kill Xue Qiu" one.

The prefect of Jiangning had his house searched and questioned.From the property confiscated from his home, 1 taels of silver were given to the mistress of the Xue family.The prefect of Jiangning and his precious son were both sentenced to exile, and all the female relatives in the family were sold into slavery.The new girl, Xue, turned out to be the sister of the deceased victim. She was not guilty and ordered her family to take back the dowry and marry someone else.

As soon as the case of the prefect of Jiangning came out, everyone was surprised: What's the matter?The prince is finally awake?Are you willing to handle political affairs properly?
Some people thought they saw the Crown Prince's determination to change, so they dug out the case files that had been shelved by the Crown Prince and presented them again in a serious manner, fully expecting that the Crown Prince would look at them carefully and make the most appropriate decision. However, the prince ignored the fold and left it to eat dust in the East Palace, completely disappointing the old ministers who still had hope for the prince.

It wasn't until then that people realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't come to his senses, but because the son of the prefect of the south of the Yangtze River didn't have eyes. family.

The prince's treatment of the Jiangning magistrate was not a determination to develop a grand plan, but simply to vent his anger on Princess Ruyi.

It seems that no matter what level this Princess Ruyi is, her meaning to the prince is always very special.

After all, it was because Princess Ruyi was so proud that after hearing this, the problem that Xue Yi had been in trouble for several days was solved.The third brother of the Xue family was relieved to see that Xue Qiu's case was finally solved satisfactorily.Although people cannot be resurrected after death, at least those who killed him have received their due retribution. This trip to the capital was not in vain.
