Xie Yue nodded and said slowly: "My lord, my princess, this old man thinks that if we want to investigate, we should focus on starting from Danfu County. Danfu County's people account for 40% of the population, and nearly half of the people have been solved if this problem is solved. , and the people all have a mind of conformity, and Danford County is the largest county in the counties.
"That's right." Xu Weizhi also said, "The most important thing is that the magistrate of Danfu County, Mr. Cheng, has an extraordinary origin. When Lao Xiu and Brother Xie looked at the register of civil servants, they deliberately checked it. That Cheng magistrate is Lu. The disciple of the old disciple of the pavilion."
Lu Ge is the grandfather of Lu Heng, the previous head of the Lumen family.
Qin Yining frowned when he heard the words, "As soon as I hear who and what has something to do with the Lumen family's car, I feel irritated. It's obvious that Cheng Zhixian has done something. Uncle Lu's suggestion."
Pang Xiao smiled casually: "Don't worry, don't worry, have we encountered too few difficulties? It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover up."
Seeing Pang Xiao so free and easy, Qin Yining couldn't help but smile.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were originally tense, but they relaxed after seeing this.
Pang Xiao said sternly: "Now the first thing is to find out the reason why the people of Danfu County did not arrive, and then prescribe the right medicine. If Cheng Zhixian moved his hands and feet, that's all, I have to show my identity to oppress people. But if the crux of the matter lies in the people On the body, things are not going well.”
"Exactly." Qin Yining said with a frown, "Although it is the imperial court's will to make the people's husband repair the emperor's tomb, but in the eyes of the people, you are the person in charge, and the people are unwilling to come. People's anger will destroy the reputation that we have been operating for a long time, and at worst, there will be people's revolts. Isn't this giving the Holy One a reason to punish your sins?"
Xie Yue said, "What the princess said is. And if the matter is not resolved well this time, it will delay the construction of the imperial mausoleum into the city, and it will also attract blame from the saint."
"Uncle Zhongyi is good at calculating." Xu Weizhi sneered, "Such one stone kills two birds, can attract the prince's idea, lead the prince to solve the problem of the people, give him time to deal with the treasure by investigating the stone, and take the opportunity to frame the prince. The cunning of human means should not be underestimated.”
Pang Xiao smiled and said: "Since you are on the opposite side, you can't do anything too much. In order to win or lose, you can only rely on your ability."
"Just what should we do about this investigation?" Qin Yining said with a thoughtful expression on his face, "I'm afraid it won't work well if I send someone there. If I start a panic, it will delay the big event. I have a suggestion."
"Oh?" Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi both looked at Qin Yining expectantly, "Have you thought of a way so quickly?"
Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining expectantly, "Tell me about it."
Qin Yining smiled, "Since Uncle Zhongyi may have deliberately caused you trouble in order to spare you, then we might as well just follow his mind, leave him time, and leave Huichuan generously. County, in this way, we can prevent us from delaying the serious business by doing things, and we can concentrate on solving the people's affairs, and we will not let the sage rule your sins."
"What the princess said is very true." Xie Yue also said, "Let's leave Huichuan County and let Uncle Lu handle the treasure."
Qin Yining nodded and said, "As for the investigation of the people's husband in Danfu County, I suggest a two-pronged approach."
Xu Weizhi stroked his long beard and nodded with a smile: "What the princess said is very true, and this old man also thinks this method is very good."
When Qin Yining heard the words, she knew that Xu Weizhi had been thinking with her, so she stopped talking and gave the chance to speak to the advisor.
Xu Weizhi said: "The old man thinks that this matter is best to be bright and dark, the prince is naturally bright, and the people will not come to Huichuan, this matter is not a secret, it is only natural for the prince to go to Danfu County to investigate. It can attract the attention of Chengzhi County, and it will be easier for another team to secretly go to Danford County to investigate."
"This method is very good." Xie Yue nodded in agreement, "As for those who go to Danfu County secretly, they don't have to act sneakily. They can dress up as businessmen and go to Danfu County to do business and communicate with the common people. Contact, encountering the three religions and nine streams, it is easier to inquire about the news."
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "This method is feasible. Why don't Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu dress up as businessmen..."
"My lord."
Qin Yining interrupted Pang Xiao's words and said earnestly, "It's better for me to pretend to be a businessman and bring Jing Zhe and them there."
Pang Xiao frowned and said disapprovingly, "You go? That's too dangerous."
"What's the danger in this?" Qin Yining smiled, "Which of the things I've encountered in the past doesn't need this danger? This time I'm just pretending to be a businessman to do business. As for the housekeeping skills, it is enough for me to bring Jing Zhe and the four of them."
He turned to Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi and explained, "The two gentlemen can naturally handle this matter, but you two are the advisors around the prince, and many people know it. Since the prince wants to take everyone out of Huichuan County, If there are two important advisors around, it will lead to suspicion. I am a female family member, and I don’t need to show up on weekdays. Jing Zhe and the four of them are not attracting attention, and most people will not care about the lack of Wang Ye’s side. If I'm a servant, I'm the least noticeable by pretending to be a businessman, and it's the easiest to inquire about."
Qin Yining finished his thoughts in one breath, and looked at Pang Xiao inquiringly.
Pang Xiao naturally knew that what Qin Yining said was right, but he really didn't want Qin Yining to leave his side. Like every time before, he always didn't want Qin Yining to take risks, and was angry with himself for his incompetence.
Xie Yue smiled, "My lord, the old man thinks that the princess's solution is feasible. If the princess goes, it is indeed better than the two of us."
"That's right, but..."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Since you think so, then you can do it like this. Don't you feel relieved when I do things?"
Pang Xiao was naturally relieved about Qin Yining's ability. But he was really worried about Qin Yining's safety.
Qin Yining thought for a while, and said, "It's really not risky to pretend to be a businessman to do business. I will set off with the lord, and when we get out of the city, we will take people first. Come out to meet you, and then we will enter the city together."
Pang Xiao thought for a long time in silence, there is really no other more appropriate way, and after thinking about the situation, he finally nodded.
Now that the attention has been made, it is necessary to prepare and pretend to be a trader, at least the goods must be complete. Fortunately, the local four-way number was there, Qin Yining arranged for someone to come forward secretly, and it was easy to prepare two trucks of goods.
Pang Xiao went to the yamen himself.
Lu Heng greeted him with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "The lord is here in person, and the lower official will be far away to welcome him."
"Uncle Zhongyi doesn't need to be so polite." Pang Xiao returned the salute and sat down with Lu Heng in the front hall with a smile. Lu Wenru brought tea and resigned respectfully.
Lu Heng saw that Pang Xiao was wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with dark flowers, and thought inexplicably, this might be Qin Yining's needlework, right
Qin Yi would rather make needlework for Pang Xiao, but would not give him another look.
He was even more panicked in his heart, and he didn't want to entangle with Pang Xiao any more.
"Your Highness is here, but what are your orders?" Lu Heng said straight to the point.
Pang Xiao naturally didn't bother to spend time with Lu Heng, Lu Heng had been coveting his Yi sister for a day or two. If he stayed for a long time, he was worried that he could not help strangling this fellow.
"I can't talk about the order. It's just that the sage ordered the construction of the imperial mausoleum. Now there are some problems with the imperial mausoleum. The people from all over the country have not arrived. I am afraid that the construction of the imperial mausoleum will be delayed."
Lu Heng nodded solemnly, "What the lord said is that the lower officials also learned about it. At this time, nothing can be done."
Speaking of this, Lu Heng couldn't help but look at Pang Xiao's expression, and seeing that he frowned, he couldn't help but say: "It's just the sage's will, ordering Xiaguan to thoroughly investigate the materials of the emperor's mausoleum, Xiaguan is already overwhelmed, and he really lacks skills. "
With worry and guilt all over his face, Lu Heng asked, "How is the lord going to deal with this matter?"
Pang Xiao's faction said sincerely: "It's really difficult to do, this king has investigated, this time the selected people are from this county and several surrounding counties, of which Danfu County's people account for 40%, and this king plans to personally go to investigate. this matter."
Speaking of this, Pang Xiao looked at Lu Heng provocatively and provocatively, "I heard that Chengzhi County in Danfu County has some connections with your Lu family."
Lu Heng's heart jumped when he heard the words, and then he felt a little more relieved. Pang Xiao was willing to question, but he was already in a hurry. I am afraid that Cheng Zhixian's account will be placed on the Lu family's head. If Pang Xiao didn't question or get angry at all about this matter, then he would have to wonder if Pang Xiao already knew something behind the scenes.
Lu Heng said in panic: "That Cheng Weimin was indeed a disciple of a disciple when our ancestor was alive. However, this relationship is close, and it is indeed far. At least this official and Cheng Weimin are only acquaintances with a nod."
"Really." Pang Xiao still had doubts in his eyes, obviously distrusting Lu Heng.
"Forget it, concerning whether the emperor's mausoleum can be successfully built, this king must investigate the reasons for this visit. If there are people who encourage the people behind their backs to prevent the construction of the imperial mausoleum from entering the city. , this king will never be condescending. At that time, I will report the truth to the Holy High, so as to ask the Son of Heaven to judge."
Even Lu Heng couldn't help being shocked by the obvious threat.
"The prince is loyal to the monarch for the country, and the public is selfless, which is admirable." He refused to accept Pang Xiao's fault at all.
Pang Xiao sneered, "The grand duke is selfless and loyal to the monarch for the country. It's what you and I should do for the most basic. What does the uncle say?"
Lu Heng knew in his heart that Pang Xiao was a threat, and obviously counted the affairs of Danfu County on Lu Heng's head.
"What the lord said is."
Pang Xiao stood up, hummed and strode away.
Lu Hengcheng stepped forward to send him off in awe, until he sent the person out of the government office, and then slowly straightened up.
Watching the carriage on which Pang Xiao was walking away, Lu Heng raised the corner of his mouth, turned around with brisk footsteps, and strode towards the yamen.
