After rebirth, I ran wild in the heart of His Highness the Prince

Five days later, the four stopped outside a city.

Looking up at the word Jun Yin on the city gate, Qin Zhongwan sighed and said, "We're here."

The truth is now in front of us.

After agreeing not to reveal their identity first, the four of them went into the city.

Gu Siyuan got off his horse first and stretched out his hand towards Qin Zhongwan.

Qin Zhongwan was stunned.

"I'll take you."

The horses are very tall, and if there is no one to support them, they may fall down easily.

Qin Zhongwan really wanted to get off the horse, but she was really exhausted, and her inner thighs were abraded from riding, and they were in great pain.

She put her hand on Gu Siyuan's palm.

With the catkins in his hand, Gu Siyuan's heart softened, and his voice became much gentler, "Jump, I will catch you."

Not knowing where the peace of mind came from, Qin Zhongwan jumped.

Gu Siyuan originally wanted to hold her hand with one hand and support her waist with the other to help her land.

But he didn't know whether Qin Zhongwan was too nervous or he was a little nervous. Qin Zhongwan landed a little crookedly. Worried that Qin Zhongwan would fall, Gu Siyuan didn't think much and stretched out his hand to take the person into his arms.

"Is there something wrong?"

Gu Siyuan lowered his eyes and met Qin Zhongwan's eyes.

"It's okay!" Qin Zhongwan shook his head and hurriedly withdrew from Gu Siyuan's arms, feeling that his heart was beating hard again, as if he was ill.

"It's okay." Gu Siyuan looked away, feeling a little hot and uncomfortable in his heart.

Beside them, Qinglian and Qinglian's eyes wandered back and forth on Gu Siyuan and Qin Zhongwan. When the two looked over, they quickly looked away, pretending that they had not seen anything just now.

Seeing this, Qin Zhongwan was a little amused, but she felt uncomfortable, so naturally she wouldn't mention it.

Gu Siyuan coughed lightly, "Let's go into the city."

The four of them abandoned their horses and headed towards the city gate. What they saw was that the people looked sallow, skinny, and emaciated.

The streets that can be seen from the city gate are also very depressed, with many beggars, and they are clearly different from the prosperous and prosperous people who live in peace and contentment as reported in the memorial!

The soldiers guarding the city gate collected money before allowing them to enter the city.

After entering the city, the first thing I saw at the city gate was that the four people looked very ugly.

"When I first heard it, I just thought that the miscellaneous taxes were heavy and I couldn't afford to eat, but I didn't expect... that the people were already in such dire straits." Qin Zhongwan whispered, with an angry tone.

"You can see how Jun Yin officials are squeezing the people!" Chang Qing looked around, feeling sad and angry in her heart, "Li Chengzhang, as the prefect of a city, dares to ignore human life just for profit! He hides it from the court, he deserves to die!"

"You deserve to die." Gu Siyuan's voice was extremely low, coldness welling up in his voice.

The four of them found an inn to stay at and immediately started investigating.

Qin Zhongwan was a woman, gentle and kind, so she was left to talk to the people and inquire about the situation.

It’s really rewarding.

An old man among the people had his daughter forcibly taken away by officials because he could not pay taxes. She was later sold into a brothel and was beaten to death for disobedience.

Qin Zhongwan comforted the old man and agreed with him to go to Kyoto to testify.

Gu Siyuan and Chang Qing sneaked into the magistrate's mansion at night and secretly obtained documents on exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in his room, as well as letters on collusion between officials and businessmen.

I think Li Chengzhang kept these letters to guard against those merchants, but now they gave Gu Siyuan an advantage.

As for those documents, I am afraid that Li Chengzhang did not expect people to come from Kyoto so soon, and came with a hidden identity, so he did not have time to destroy them. When Gu Siyuan and his two men sneaked into the prefect's mansion, they happened to hear Li Chengzhang ordering the people below to destroy these documents in the next two days. Documentation.

In other words, now they have both personal and material evidence.
