messy

Shen Qingbie has always been a light sleeper in other places, and she couldn't really sleep soundly at night. When she heard Jin Yuchen's movement, she got out of bed to look, and saw Jin Yuchen running out of the street quickly.

Reminiscent of the topics that Jin Yuchen deliberately mentioned in the carriage a few days ago, and deliberately not being in the same carriage as Jin Yanchi and Jin Xuanhao during the day, she immediately thought of Jin Yuchen's purpose of going out late at night. She knew that Jin Yuchen Dust has a great risk in doing so. Although the benefits are much greater than the disadvantages, he will eventually expose himself and attract people's attention.

But she will not let Jin Yuchen be exposed so quickly, she knows that Jin Yuchen has to take this step out of desperation, the economy in the south of the Yangtze River is so rich, if it is in her hands, it can be used as a powerful shield against other princes , it can also become a bargaining chip to win over the court officials at critical moments, so Jin Yuchen must seize this opportunity.

She knew that Jin Yuchen must have said something to Zheng Wentao, and that the latter would face the questioning of their group so frankly. With Jin Yuchen's mind, Shen Qing would definitely use Zheng Wentao to ruthlessly beat Jin Yuchen. Xuanhao and Jin Yanchi's army can not only get Zheng Wentao's surrender and control the Qilu area, but also make Jin Yanchi and Jin Xuanhao lose face in front of the emperor.

But there will never be a seamless network in the world. Jin Yuchen's purpose in doing this is too clear. As the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind, and Jin Yuchen will become this big tree that attracts wind.

She will not let Jin Yuchen be hurt again, Xiangguo Mansion is already on Jin Yuchen's side, and she is also on Jin Yuchen's side, her people and her heart have long been on Jin Yuchen's side side.

Not long after, Jin Xuanhao and Jin Yanchi brought someone to Jin Mingzuo with a ledger, pointed to the ledger and said: "The official road should be built with rammed earth, which is firm and flat, and a lot of stone , bricks, tiles, and a large number of laboring civilians. However, the record in the account book is that a large group of manpower was hired to go to the mountainous area outside the city to take cheap and sharp gravel and loose soil to build it. It looks the same as a solid road, but when the heavy rain washes away, the loose soil will be washed away, leaving behind hard stones and potholes. There are a lot of labor in the city, and you hire them to do such tiring work at a low price. Greedy More than a little money! Lord Taishou."

"I'm wronged! The official is indeed looking at the people under his hand to keep the accounts. It is indeed the expenditure record of the rammed earth. Even the required manpower and materials are also confirmed by the official. How could there be your highness? What about corruption? Impossible!" Zheng Wentao shook his head, knelt on the ground and kept denying, "Impossible, Your Highness, you really wronged the subordinates, and the subordinates have always fulfilled their duties, how could they do such a deceitful thing? The next thing to do."

"All the evidence has come out, and you are still quibbling, Father, I beg you to order this corrupt official to be executed." Jin Xuanhao threw the account book in his hand in front of Zheng Wentao, and leaned over to ask Jin Mingzuo, " If such pests are not eradicated, it will be difficult to demonstrate the prestige of the country.”

Zheng Wentao picked up the account book on the ground, flipped through a few pages, his expression changed suddenly, and he said even more excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! I have been wronged!"

Jin Mingzuo looked troubled, always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, now that the evidence was in front of him, but he felt something was wrong in his heart, how could ordinary corrupt officials behave so calmly when they were audited?

But now that the evidence is in front of him, no matter how much he has doubts, there must be a result. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Shen Qing beside him frowning and saying: "Your Majesty, please don't say it." A few words? Don't feel that something is wrong."

Jin Mingzuo's eyes turned, and he looked straight at Shen Qingbie: "I don't know what Qingbie thinks is wrong, you might as well tell me."

"Generally, there are still such a large number of people who embezzle and make false accounts. How can there be conclusive evidence once there is a change? Don't they make a copy of the preventive inspector? This is not something that can be seen. Why do you want to show your scandal to everyone?" "Shen Qing asked in doubt, "And what Zheng Da said just now, the rammed earth and other necessary things are recorded in the ledger, but when Master Zheng saw the ledger, he showed a very puzzled look. The expression, could it be that there is a problem with the account book?"

Indeed, Jin Mingzuo thought about it carefully, this matter was too strange, and said to Zheng Wentao, who couldn't afford it, "The account book in your hand is your original one?"

"Returning to the emperor, it's not this book. The account books that the subordinate officials saw were all expenditures that followed the normal process, which was quite different from what was recorded above. This, this is not the account books that the subordinate officials have seen all this time!" Zheng Wentao's voice became louder unconsciously.

As soon as the words came out, Jin Mingzuo glanced at Jin Yanchi and Jin Xuanhao reproachfully, and then said, "Then where do you think your original account book went?"

Zheng Wentao thought for a long time, and said: "Generally, there are two ledgers, one is with me, and the other is kept at the yamen, under the care of Zhao Changshi and Li Sima, who are handed over to the court every year. It has been corrected and submitted, so there should be another copy there, but the content... the lower officials don’t know why the correct ledger that appeared in my house turned into this fake ledger.”

"That's easy, just go to the yamen and have a look." Jin Mingzuo said lightly.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Jin Xuanhao immediately said, "If the books found in the yamen are also fake accounts, then what else can Mr. Zheng say?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the account books I have seen before have been accurately calculated word by word, which proves that there is indeed such an account book. If it is not in the yamen, or the one found is also a fake account book, it is not just trying to cover it up. It proves that the official Are you innocent?" Zheng Wentao replied.

Jin Xuanhao stopped his mouth, and the other party's words successfully made him shut up, thinking that if he found any clues of other possibilities later, then he and Jin Yanchi would be ugly.

"The world is really unpredictable." Jin Haiyan squinted at Shen Qingbie, "A friend in adversity really knows the truth."

Jin Xuefan waved his fan: "No, the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind."

Jin Yuchen waited silently behind Jin Mingzuo, and the next thing he expected was that the account book would not be there.

When he arrived at the yamen, he found that Chang Shi and Sima, who were originally working there, were not there. Zheng Wentao didn't care about their whereabouts, and hurriedly sent someone to take out the account book to clear his innocence, but he was told that the account book was missing. At the same time, early in the morning, A large amount of official silver has also disappeared from the government's treasury.

"How did this happen?" Zheng Wentao was shaky after hearing the news, "When did they leave?"

"Morning, Sishi. When I came here, I was in such a hurry that they were shocked. I don't know what happened. Now it seems that it may have something to do with the stolen silver..."

"Also, when I sent people to the residence of the two lords to inquire, the whole family disappeared, and there were signs of being turned over in the house. There was news from the guard that they had left the city in a carriage."

"What?" Jin Mingzuo was furious, "Why do good people run away? You five and six, look at the good things you have done to me? You said that it was not discovered, who leaked it? I told you not to rush for quick success , If you don’t listen, it’s all right now? Throwing grass and scaring snakes away.”

"Father, calm down, my son is wrong." Jin Xuanhao and Jin Yanchi quickly admitted their mistakes, but they didn't think in their hearts that something went wrong on their side, and there must be someone obstructing it.

"What's the use of admitting your mistakes now? Everyone has run away." Jin Mingzuo turned his head impatiently, and said to Zheng Wentao, "As the prefect, he is so lax with the officials under him, and he didn't know why such a big incident happened. I don't know, you are also guilty, if you can't arrest the escaped person within three days, I think you, the Quanzhou prefect, should be replaced."

"Yes, I am guilty of the crime, thank the emperor for his mercy, I will arrest the fugitive in three days, and start the Qilu official affairs again, I will supervise it personally, and I will bear the money that is not enough. " Zheng Wentao knelt down.

Jin Mingzuo was still displeased, but at this point there was no other way, so he confessed: "This southern tour is a private visit to the people. I don't want to be discovered when I go to the Jiangsu area. About How to deal with the matter of my identity being exposed here, you know what to do."

"Your Majesty understands."

Jin Mingzuo turned around and said, "Stay at the inn for another night today, and we'll make arrangements and leave tomorrow morning."

"Yes." They said in unison.

"The next official sent the emperor off." Zheng Wentao continued behind.

At night, the two windows were opened at the same time, Jin Yuchen looked at Shen Qingfare with a smile: "Do you know why the two of us are always arranged together? Obviously it would be better for you to live next to Fu Bai."

Shen Qing didn't reply: "Because someone has bad thoughts."

Jin Yuchen laughed out loud, and suddenly crawled out of the window, and then jumped directly to Shen Qingbie's window, causing Shen Qingbie to step back subconsciously, panicked: "What are you doing? It's very dangerous!"

"Didn't it mean that someone had a bad idea? Then someone is going to implement it now." Jin Yuchen put all his strength into jumping into Shen Qing's other room, looking at her leisurely.

Shen Qingbie was slightly angry: "It would be bad for you to run over like this and be seen by others."

"What's wrong? Tell those men the fact that Princess Anhe is a well-known man, even though I seem to be a sneaky master." Jin Yuchen deliberately walked up to her and got very close to her , ambiguously said, "I can't talk to you well these days and see you well, I miss you."

"What are you thinking, I can't see you when you look up." Shen Qingbie's face suddenly turned red, and she took a few steps back.

Jin Yuchen did not continue to approach her, but found a chair and sat down at ease, and said, "Since you saw me at night, you should know that I did something bad. Tell me what happened during the day instead of me." If you say something, you are covering up, and you are guilty of the same crime as me."

"But if I don't say it, Ah Chen will become the person everyone has to deal with along the way, and it will become very dangerous."

"But if you say goodbye, you indirectly killed two innocent people. Chang Shi and Sima are the ones who are responsible for the prefect's accident. It can't be the worst way. Once the person dies, this matter will be completely destroyed. There is no proof of death. But you and I both know that those two people are not the ones who should be damned." Jin Yuchen sighed, "You shouldn't be the one who can take care of this kind of thing. If this happens, you will also be dragged into the water by me to fight with those people .”

Shen Qing didn't go over, took his hand and held it in his palm, looked into his eyes, deep and shining, couldn't help raising the other hand to stroke his cheek: "I don't want you to have something to do, even if you hurt me I won't blame you if others come to protect you. You should have discussed it with me as soon as possible. If I come here, I won't suspect you. But you didn't come to me, Dust, I should say Is it because you don't trust me that you didn't tell me anything?"

Jin Yuchen grabbed her hand, put it on his lips, and kissed it lightly: "You know I didn't mean that, I just don't want you to get mixed up in this filth with me, you should be clean, the best."

Shen Qing didn't lower her head, leaned against his forehead, kowtowed slightly and said: "Those are not important, I will be where you are, even if it is dirty, I will be with you."

"Really together? Going to hell?" Jin Yuchen also closed his eyes, with a lazy tone.

"When was I afraid of anything?"

"That's what you said." Jin Yuchen opened his eyes suddenly, clasped Shen Qingbie's waist and brought it to his body with force. The posture was a bit indecent and meng lang. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the other party, "Don't regret it in the future."

After finishing speaking, he sealed her lips, maybe he didn't want to hear what Shen Qingbie would say back to him, so he just wanted to numb himself and let himself sink into it for a while.This woman is willing to smear her hands with blood for him, and is willing to accompany him wherever he wants to go, without complaint.He really had a little fear, afraid that he would be too dependent on Shen Qingfai, too attached to her tenderness and no regrets, he couldn't afford to gamble, especially for her, he couldn't afford to lose anything, but he couldn't bear her warmth And love, can you keep a little luck and take her as your own?

regret what?How could she regret it, even if she dies badly in the future, she wouldn't regret it, Shen Qing didn't think so.
