When Master saw this scene, he immediately opened his face with a cold face: "Wu Ergou! In these years, I have done so much hurting and harmful things in order to rub your butt. Don't blame me."

Sheng Jingze was happy to see them dog eating dog, but now was not the time to overthrow Magistrate Wu.

"Your Majesty, this Wu Ergou was sent down from above..." Master Pang was about to expose Magistrate Wu's evil deeds, but unexpectedly, he was interrupted directly by Sheng Jingze.

He frowned and said, "Master Pang, I just want to ask you one question, did you embezzle this gold?"

"I..." Master Pang was speechless. He really didn't expect Sheng Jingze to ask such a question. He didn't know how to speak.

Sheng Jingze was too lazy to argue with him anymore and directly convicted him: "Master Pang is corrupt. The evidence is conclusive. He will be imprisoned first. As for whether there is anything left to remember about the crime, I will wait until I find out and then deal with him."

"As for the gold... Xiao Yi, exchange the gold for silver and distribute half to each household based on head count. The other half will go to neighboring counties to purchase some wood and help the villagers renovate their houses."

The news of Master Pang being imprisoned spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luoping County in an instant, and all the people clapped their hands and applauded that this bad guy in the fish and meat town was finally punished.

Although Sheng Jingze knew in his heart that Magistrate Wu was not a good person, he still let him dance around for a few days. Then he would frighten the master in prison, and when he found out why Sheng Chengjie asked him to stay here, he would deal with Wu It's not too late for Ergou to start.

After he finished the matter, he turned around and went back to the inn. As soon as he entered the room, Xue Jinruo came up to him and looked at him left and right.

Sheng Jingze felt uncomfortable looking at her. He touched his face and said, "Is there something on my face?"

"Yes." Xue Jinruo said.

"What?" Sheng Jingze took a sip of the tea in his cup.

"justice."

"Pfft!" Sheng Jingze spit out the tea he just drank and asked, "Xue Jinruo, are you stupid or crazy?"

"I mean, why did you act like a different person today and attack Master Pang?" Xue Jinruo rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't you have to wait any longer?"

"You said this," Sheng Jingze took out a stack of letters and said, "Everything is here, take a look for yourself."

Xue Jinruo immediately took all the letters in his hand and read them carefully, only to find that all the correspondents were Sheng Chengjie.

She immediately connected all the things together and said in shock: "Is he from the prince?"

"But why did the prince place his own spies in such a small county?" Xue Jinruo was confused, "All the money Master Pang embezzled was kept in his own home and was not given to the prince, so it must not be for money. , but what secrets can be hidden in such a small place?"

Sometimes Sheng Jingze still likes her brain. She doesn't need to say many things clearly, it just makes sense.

However, this character of asking for answers is a bit annoying.

"This is what we need to investigate next. Now that the problems have been explained clearly, I will continue to interrogate Master Pang. I'm afraid there are many things that we didn't expect in Luoping County." Sheng Jingze also I can't wait to see what is in Luoping County that is worth Sheng Chengjie's trouble.

However, Xue Jinruo paused and asked again: "Since you have already attacked Master Pang, why don't you also take away Magistrate Wu? If you keep him, he will be a disaster in the future."

Although she knew that Sheng Jingze had his own arrangements, she still didn't understand and asked quickly.

"Only by dealing with Master Pang first can Magistrate Wu be thrown into confusion and show his weakness." Sheng Jingze stood up, not wanting to waste any more time, "Xiao Yi, let's go."

Xue Jinruo looked at his steps and immediately pulled him. He straightened his hair in front of his forehead in embarrassment and said, "When you interrogate that master, can you ask about Aunt Yang's whereabouts? I heard someone said , Aunt Yang was arrested by him, I am a little worried about her current situation. "

This was the first time Sheng Jingze saw her like this, and he immediately became interested. Even his eyebrows were slightly raised. It seemed that Xue Jinruo knew how to show weakness sometimes.

"Yes, yes, but should the princess pay some benefits?" he deliberately joked.

"What's the benefit?" Xue Jinruo was a little confused.

"You have to give some benefit when asking for help, otherwise you won't be sincere at all." Sheng Jingze said, even spreading his hands.

Xue Jinruo reacted immediately, his face turned red, but he had not forgotten the affinity between Xue Xueyao and Amber. Sheng Jingze liked to take the initiative.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Close your eyes first."

"what?"

"Shut up first."

Sheng Jingze closed his eyes, but couldn't help but take a peek.

He wanted to see what kind of trouble Xue Jinruo was planning to cause, but unexpectedly, he saw Xue Jinruo's face coming closer. Seeing the scene in front of him, he subconsciously closed his eyes again.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few beats.

He felt that his right cheek was itchy and numb, as if it was gently brushed by the spring breeze.

Sheng Jingze felt an electric current passing through his body and subconsciously opened his eyes. He coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Since we are going to interrogate Aunt Yang's whereabouts, you'd better come with me."

"Okay." Xue Jinruo agreed.

The group of people quickly arrived at the secret cell where Master Pang was imprisoned. Even if others wanted to do anything, they had no chance.

Xue Jinruo looked at Master Pang who was hung up by his hands and feet, but he still couldn't relieve the resentment in his heart. Thinking of the suffering those people suffered, he wanted to go up and skin him.

She forced herself to calm down and asked in a cold voice: "Where did you keep Aunt Yang?"

"Oh, is it possible that the dignified Princess Regent really cares so much about the lives of ordinary people? Or do you know her origins, so you are deliberately more concerned about her?" Master Pang has completely changed his face, and his words are full of emotions. Disdainful.

Xue Jinruo didn't want to hear what he had to say, so she grabbed his collar and asked again: "Where is Aunt Yang?"

Master Pang still refused to say anything.

Seeing that Xue Jinruo was about to be unable to suppress the anger in his heart, Sheng Jingze hurriedly stepped forward to hold her and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Leave the rest to me."

As his words fell, Amber was tied up by Xiao Yi.
