Or the court house.
Chu Fei sat above, playing with the gavel in his hand. A person in the field was wearing a night clothes, his hands were tied behind him, and behind him were a group of Quzhou officials.
"Everyone, you might as well come and have a look and see if you recognize this person." Chu Fei's eyes swept across the crowd, his tone was still casual: "Quzhou really surprised this king, this king fell asleep. Okay, there are still people who came to assassinate this king. It is really daring. When this king was in the capital, he had never seen such a bold person. Do you have something to say to this king?"
"This… "
The officials looked at each other, but no one came forward.
Seeing that they didn't say a word, Chu Fei said again: "If all the adults don't say anything, then that means you have accepted it?"
How dare they admit it!
Finally someone couldn't help but stand up, "Your lord calms down your anger, but Xiaguan et al really don't know where this assassin came from. Your lord wants to ask Xiaguan et al, and Xiaguan also... I really don't know it."
"You don't know each other?" Chu Fei raised his chin and gestured to Wang Quan, "Go and ask if this assassin recognizes all the adults present."
Wang Quan went down.
The assassin was tortured by the guards all night, and he had already told everything. Now that Wang Quan had not even arrived, the assassin nodded hurriedly and replied, "I know, I know."
Chu Fei: "Then tell me, which adults do you know?"
The assassin's gaze swept across the crowd, meeting his gaze, and several adults looked away one after another, daring not to make contact with his gaze.
The assassin hesitated.
Chu Fei: "I can't say it now? Wang Quan..."
Before he could finish his words, the assassin hurriedly said, "I said, I said."
He glanced at several adults again and called out the names of several of them. The assassin said sincerely: "It's these adults who asked me to come and assassinate the lord."
Chu Fei looked at it, snorted, surprised: "Master Zhao?"
Master Zhao was sweating again and again, lowered his head and responded, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Master Zhao, is this a misunderstanding?" Chu Fei asked, "Before the assassin came, you came to this king, saying that you wanted something to give to this king, and brought the box of silver to this king. Tickets and gold, why are you turning around and sending assassins to assassinate this king again?"
"My lord, this... misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Master Zhao said with a flattering smile, "This assassin..."
Chu Fei interrupted him: "According to Lord Zhao, is this assassin lying?"
Master Zhao: "Yes, yes..."
The assassin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty knows, Caomin's words are true. It was these adults who came to find Caomin and asked Caomin to assassinate the lord. They said that they should give Caomin five hundred taels first, and then give Caomin to Caomin after the matter is completed. Five hundred taels, the five hundred taels of silver that I gave first, are still hidden under the Caomin's bed."
"One thousand taels?!" Chu Fei couldn't help but click his tongue: "Is this king worth so much money?"
"..."
Wang Quan coughed heavily.
Chu Fei came back to his senses, and looked at several officials in Quzhou, "This assassin has been recruited, what else do you have to say? Mr. Zhao, you just said a misunderstanding, what misunderstanding? Could it be this? The assassin deceived this king?"
Master Zhao couldn't help wiping his sweat, but he hesitated, unable to say a word of explanation.
The gavel in Chu Fei's hand slapped heavily, as if it had hit everyone's heart. Everyone's heart trembled, and they all lowered their heads.
Chu Fei looked at everyone coldly: "Look at all the adults standing here, but all of them are pillars of talent, as Quzhou's parents and officials, Quzhou people, and the emperor of the capital, all of them are all adults. High hopes are placed, and what have you adults done?"
"The Quzhou Dam is related to the safety of everyone in Quzhou. Once the dam collapses, what will happen, all of you have seen. When such a big thing happened, all of you don't think about how to save it, but you still want to hide the sky and cross the sea. "He glanced at Master Zhao and snorted softly, causing Master Zhao to tremble. "This king came to Quzhou, but I heard a lot of things about the adults, and it was said that Lord Zhao was upright and honest, so honest and honest!"
Lord Zhao's knees softened, and he threw himself to his knees: "Wang, wangye..."
"Now that the Quzhou flood has occurred, all of you adults don't want to think about how to solve it, but you still want to bribe this king, and even dare to send assassins to assassinate this king. Without this king, the emperor will also send imperial officials over, and you can kill me. This king, is it possible to kill all the imperial envoys?" Chu Fei sneered.
He took out the ledger and threw it heavily on the table: "Everyone is a vegetarian meal, Quzhou is rich, and even your guts are so fat!"
The courtroom was full of kneeling on the ground.
"Your Highness, forgive me!"
"Your Highness, spare your life!"
Chu Fei still felt a little sad in his heart.
There was also a flood in Quzhou in the previous life, but no one detected it. The silver food for the disaster relief was robbed, but he arrived in Quzhou, and none of the people in Quzhou treated him well. short time.
After staying in Quzhou for a long time, he heard about the dam from the people of Quzhou. Later, he told the prince that he wanted the prince to investigate in an open and honest way, but in the end, the prince checked around and found Only a small official who repaired the dam was found. Later, after the official was dealt with, the matter was revealed.
Chu Fei didn't know whether the prince found out, or if he found out, but he couldn't bear it, and why. He later took great pains to investigate in Quzhou, but found out some features, but before he had time to continue the investigation, he was recalled to the capital, and later he had no chance to come back to Quzhou.
Come to think of it, these people still dominate these positions. When the dam is rebuilt, they will continue to be like maggots on the tarsal bones, absorbing everything from Quzhou, waiting for the next dam to collapse.
Chu Fei waved his hand and let people take all these people down.
He didn't stand up until the noisy begging for mercy disappeared from his ears.
"My lord." Wang Quan leaned over: "Where to go next?"
"Prepare pen and ink for this king, this king knows what to write for the princess."
…
Chu Fei's letter came with the news from Quzhou.
Just as Ning Nuan heard that he had arrested a bunch of officials in Quzhou, he received a letter from him on the back.
In the letter, he did not mention anything about the epidemic in Quzhou, perhaps because the epidemic had not yet happened, so he was so calm. He did say that he had arrested the officials. The sharp handwriting on the paper was full of heartache and resentment. After reading it, Ning Nuan could hear him complaining in his ear.
Ning Nuan asked Xiang Tao to grind the ink, and she also wrote a reply to him with a pen.
She comforted Chu Fei in the letter, and mentioned the robbers who had previously provided disaster relief food. With Lord Xue's help, the emperor began to investigate the matter thoroughly, and sure enough, a series of tails were found. Recently, Lord Xue has been very busy. Now, even Zhu Hanshan is too busy to touch the ground. Ning Nuan has been observing the transformation of the capital, and when he finds an opportunity, he will remind the third prince to let him not miss the opportunity.
I don't know if it was Yang Zhen's reminder that even the eldest prince was involved. Now in the capital, the three princes are fighting non-stop, but they have indeed caused a lot of trouble for the emperor.
It was not until the end of the letter that Ning Nuan greeted his body with concern as usual, and asked him to be careful not to be infected with the Quzhou epidemic. Although the epidemic has not yet occurred, there is always nothing wrong with taking precautions.
Chu Fei found a large number of officials in Quzhou. Please be clear about the records in the ledger. No one escaped, let alone these people were charged with assassinating King An. The matter spread to the capital, the emperor really did. Outraged, he ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
The third prince and the eldest prince seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to cause a lot of trouble for the prince. There was the matter of disaster relief first, and there were two princes who were staring at him. Later, even the matter of Quzhou seemed to have a lot to do with the prince. The matter involved royal secrets, and Ning Nuan didn't know what to ask. He only knew that the prince's life was not easy.
Even with Chu Fei taking precautions and Master Huizhen there, the epidemic in Quzhou broke out. It's just that this time is much lighter than the previous life. Chu Fei was prepared long ago and brought a large number of medicinal materials there. Later, it was sent by Ning Nuan Tuo Ning Lang's subordinates. Chu Fei knew about the epidemic in his previous life. With his help, Hui Zhen The master quickly dispensed medicine for the Quzhou epidemic, but it didn't develop too much, and it was easily controlled.
First, they sent food for disaster relief, then punished a group of officials in Quzhou who ate vegetarian meals, and then sent a large number of medicinal materials. Even Master Huizhen himself said that he helped a lot, and the attitude of the people of Quzhou toward Chu Fei became more and more serious. Eagerly, he even surpassed Master Huizhen and became the person most loved by the people of Quzhou. Now that Chu Fei is walking outside, he can always meet people who bring him eggs and vegetables!
This treatment was so different from his previous life, Chu Fei even felt a little flattered.
When the Quzhou matter was settled, when he set off to return to Beijing, Ning Nuan's belly was much bigger than before he left. Chu Fei had not seen her for many days, even if he communicated frequently, Yuanshui couldn't save her. Near the fire, I thought of her day and night, and when I saw Ning Nuan, I hugged for a long time and didn't want to let go.
When he arrived in the capital, he also heard good news.
The emperor has decided to abolish the prince!
On the day when the imperial decree to abolish the prince was issued, several princes celebrated together in the mansion. They did not show their faces, but the eldest prince called Yang Zhen and Ning Lang to have a drink, and even the third prince went to An prince's mansion. A lot of things were sent, and as for the other princes, they were more or less happy.
The crown prince lost power, the crown prince was vacant, and everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the other princes.
