When the prince's icy gaze turned around, Nie Changping suddenly returned to his senses and hurriedly stepped back without forgetting to explain.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, you continue, continue!"
Luo Qinghan said coldly: "Stop."
Nie Changping had no choice but to stop and smiled ingratiatingly: "His Royal Highness, I was wrong, I didn't see anything, you can treat me as if I've never been here, and I promise not to tell you what happened."
Xiao Xixi let go of the prince and asked curiously, "So what?"
Nie Changping didn't dare to say it explicitly, and could only vaguely hint: "That's what, you all know."
Xiao Xixi looked blank: "I don't understand, what is it? Please clarify."
Nie Changping was extremely entangled: "How dare you explain this kind of thing clearly?"
"What can't be explained clearly?"
"Oh, it's the kind of thing you and the prince did."
"The prince and I were discussing raising..."
"Okay." Luo Qinghan interrupted her, preventing her from telling her about raising pigs.
He would rather be misunderstood that he was messing with the little eunuch than be known that his concubines were raising pigs in the East Palace.
Luo Qing asked coldly, "Nie Changping, what are you doing here?"
Nie Changping then remembered that he had something to discuss with the prince, and said quickly.
"I went out to hang out today, and I heard a story that many children have been lost in the city recently. The parents and family members of the children went to the county government office to report to the officials, but the officials said that they were busy preparing to receive the prince and had no time to attend to them. These little things have beaten all those who reported to the officials."
Luo Qinghan frowned: "Recently, the city gate has been blocked, and people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. If the child is lost, it must still be in the city. You can find the child with just a search. Why doesn't the county government care? This issue?"
Nie Changping nodded: "I also think this is strange, so I came to tell His Highness about it. I want to ask if you want to check it?"
Luo Qinghan asked back: "I asked you to investigate the matter of Magistrate Yang yesterday. Is there any result?"
"Yang's magistrate's full name is Yang Kaiguang. I heard that this year is sixty-three. He was transferred to Gangu County ten years ago. I heard from the people that Yang Kaiguang was quite diligent in the two years when he first came to Gangu County. Yes, he can be regarded as a good official, but over time, he gradually revealed the essence of greed for money. Anyone who enters the yamen, whether justified or not, must pay first, and if there is no money, they will be punished. Those wealthy people here, even if it is murder and arson, as long as the money is given enough, Yang Kaiguang can suppress the case, and the people dare not speak out."
"Two years ago, there was a scholar whose brother was beaten to death by a bully. The scholar went to the county government to sue the bully. As a result, because he had no money to manage the relationship, he was ordered to be slapped 20 big boards in the court by the officials. That scholar was also hard-hearted, see The magistrate Yang refused to give him justice, so he was going to Shengjing to file a lawsuit against the imperial court. Unfortunately, before they left, a family of four was burned alive at home. The yamen said to the public that the scholar's house caught fire accidentally, but Everyone knows in their hearts that the scholar's family must have been silenced. With such a terrible lesson, no one in Gangu County dares to sue the imperial court, and Yang Kaiguang can only be allowed to do something wrong in Gangu County."
"The reason why Yang Kaiguang ordered the closure of the city gate is nominally to maintain public order in the city, so as to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In fact, he wants to take the opportunity to make a fortune. He stipulated that everyone who wants to enter the city must pay ten Two silver coins, you are not allowed to enter the city without paying. He also controlled the only two wells in the city that still had water, and sent people to guard them day and night, so that the people were not allowed to approach.
