Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Emperor Kangping laughed loudly, "Congratulations, I never thought Zhou Jin could be so courageous! I have only seen this in you and the old marquis, you have a bright future!"

Although Marquis Changning also thought so, he was very modest and said, "Your Majesty, it is actually too reckless for me to do this. After all, they are all criminals. It would be bad if some of them could not come back."

Emperor Kangping shook his head. "Lord Zhou, that is wrong. Even if there were a few criminals who escaped, I would not punish them. After all, if there were no young and middle-aged people, such a heavy snowstorm would have crushed houses and killed more people. The impact would far outweigh a few criminals escaping."

"Besides, those criminals all have families. They can escape, but what about their families? How many heartless people would not care about their families? In short, this method is very good and courageous."

"Now I am particularly looking forward to Zhou Jin showing off his skills after the spring and surprising me again."

Marquis Changning smiled and stroked his beautiful beard, looking quite proud.

He is worthy of being Zhou Ze’s son.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. The contributions of other colleagues are also due to him, not just his."

Emperor Kangping nodded, "Indeed, there must be a generous reward! I will send someone over tomorrow to reward Zhou Jin, Xie Jin, and Yuan De."

"Ah?" Marquis Changning was startled, looking puzzled, "I remember there was also Wang Shiwen? Why didn't you reward him?"

Emperor Kang Ping shook his head. "They are irresponsible and unworthy of great use. Zhou Jin, Xie Jin, and Yuan Zhen were the only ones who applied to the higher authorities to release the criminals. Wang Shiwen did not apply because he was afraid of accidents and did not want to take responsibility because it was against the rules."

"Oh!" Marquis Changning nodded without commenting.

Marquis Changning seldom said such offensive words.

As for His Majesty, they are all his subjects anyway, so he can comment on them as he pleases.

Judging from previous incidents, Wang Shiwen is indeed incompetent and very jealous.

When he arrived in Qingshui County, everyone thought he would be able to make great contributions, but he did not expect it to remain the same.

It is indeed of no use.

Emperor Kangping not only specially summoned Marquis Changning to come and give a speech, he also sent someone to reward the retired Mr. Yuan.

Lord Yuan was quite shocked when he received the reward. His channel was a little slower than those of His Majesty and Marquis Changning.

But he knew roughly.

Now we know that all criminals, without exception, returned voluntarily after the snowstorm. This is what the people want.

Qingshui County is stable.

In fact it is.

Dachun received another mission from his superiors, but he did not take any action.

Qingcheng met Dachun in the "safe house".

Dachun is Qinghe in disguise.

"Qinghe, why don't you do it? We went through so much trouble to send you to Wang Shiwen just so that we could let you poison Zhou Jin, Xie Jin, and Yuan Zhen. But for so long, they are still alive and well."

Qinghe lowered his head, and after a while he looked up, "Brother, why did we become bandits in the first place?"

Qingcheng was stunned. "Of course our parents were killed by bandits, and we brothers went to the Wild Wolf Village to seek revenge. With the appreciation of the big boss, we not only got our revenge, but also enjoyed a good life. The big boss has been very kind to us, and we must repay him and give him a reward."

Qinghe raised his head and said, "Brother, think about it carefully. Do you want more people to be like you and me, and have their parents killed by bandits?"

Qingcheng was stunned. "Qinghe, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to avenge the boss? You have to know that without the boss, there would be no brothers like us."

Qinghe shook his head, "I know the boss is our benefactor, but there are many ways to repay a favor. Why do you have to poison these good officials?"

"A good official? How many good officials are there in the world? Is someone like Wang Shiwen a good official? You are so naive!" Qingcheng shook his head. "Don't be fooled by these people's illusions. Madam Chen keeps urging you. If you don't take action, if your identity is discovered in the future, you will never have another chance."

Qinghe argued, "Brother, Wang Shiwen is not a good official, but the county magistrate Zhou Jin, the county magistrate Yuan Zhen, and Xie Jin who led the troops, they are all clean and never oppress the people."

"As for Wang Shiwen, apart from being lustful, he did not bully other people. Even if Chen Niangzi and Wang Shiwen had an affair, it was Chen Niang's intentional seduction, and Wang Shiwen did not force her."

"Mrs. Chen is one of the heads of the Wild Wolf Village, and she is bent on revenge. But has she ever thought that if County Magistrate Zhou Jin, Yuan Zhen, and Xie Jin die, the entire Qingshui County may return to the past?"

"There were bandits everywhere. The people originally only had to pay 20% of taxes to the government, but after being controlled by the bandits, they had to pay 50%. The number of people who starved to death far exceeded the number under government control."

"Brother, you like Madam Chen and are willing to go through fire and water for her, but is it worth it? It is better to let go of the hatred and live a good life with Madam Chen. After all, she is pregnant with your child. With the silver we got from the Wild Wolf Village, it is not bad to be a rich man."

Qingcheng was silent after hearing his brother's words.

After a while, he sighed and replied, "Ah, I've actually noticed the changes in Qingshui County. Those criminals were released to help with disaster relief, and none of them escaped. It shows that the people of Qingshui County have surrendered."

"Our assassination of the county magistrate and others is actually a perverse act. If successful, we will indeed get revenge, but we will harm tens of thousands of people in Qingshui County. If we are exposed, we will be doomed."

Qinghe sighed, "Brother, go back and persuade Madam Chen. Let's find a place to settle down in Qingshui County, or you can do business in Yunzhou, and I will stay in Qingshui County. Keep an eye on these officials. If they oppress the people, I will kill them at all costs."

Qingcheng nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and talk about it. Be careful and don't get discovered."

"Yes, big brother." Qinghe agreed, "If the government oppresses the people and commits unforgivable crimes, our actions will be to enforce justice. But now these are all good officials. If we do this for the so-called hatred, then we are committing a perverse act."

"The boss died at the hands of the government, but think about it, how many people died at the hands of the boss? When you kill someone, you should expect to be killed. This is the only destination and ending."

Hearing this, Qingcheng nodded and patted his brother on the shoulder, "Okay, you know how to think about the problem. Be careful, and once I have talked to Lady Chen, I will allow you to evacuate."

The two brothers left the safe house, and Zhou Shisan and Zhou Shisi sent troops in two groups to follow them.

Who is the person who needs to find out where the person who contacted "Dachun" is?

At that time, after reporting to the Crown Prince, we can arrest these people.

Although Qingcheng was already cautious, Zhou Shisan still found a place for him to stay.
