"I'm back now." Liu Lanyan held Qin Zhongwan's hand and asked her, "Has the refugee issue been cleared up?"

Qin Zhongwan nodded, "It has been found out, and His Highness the Crown Prince will handle the rest. I think there will be a result soon."

"That's good." Liu Lanyan sighed, "Those refugees are pitiful too."

After asking a few more questions in detail, Liu Lanyan teased her, "Does a handsome and handsome man like His Royal Highness have any thoughts?"

"Mother!" Qin Zhongwan was embarrassed, "Why are you saying this for no reason?!"

But in his mind, he couldn't help but think of the incident of getting off his horse and accidentally bumping into Gu Siyuan's arms, and he blushed fiercely.

Seeing her like this, Liu Lanyan was so amused that she didn't continue the topic - her daughter was thin-skinned, and it would be bad if she was teased.

Both of them made a tacit agreement not to mention Qin Xiaoyun.

When Qin Xiaoyun learned that Qin Zhongwan was back, she felt even more resentful when she thought about what happened before. She also felt slightly better when she thought about the rumors.

But he said that Gu Siyuan had entered the palace.

He returned to the East Palace and immediately drafted a memorial on the impeachment of Jun Yin's officials. Before the ink on the paper dried, he hurried to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials. Looking at the stacks of memorials written with flattery, he felt a little flatulent, probably because the officials did not report them truthfully.

Just when he was so angry that he wanted to throw the memorial to the ground, Eunuch Li, the personal eunuch, walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you."

"Didn't I send him to check on the refugees? Why did he come back so quickly? Could it be that he was found?" The emperor was overjoyed, and the anger he had just dissipated in an instant, "Quickly declare!"

Gu Siyuan came in dusty with the memorial and said, "My son, I will see my father."

"Get up." The emperor asked him, "Is there any progress on the refugee issue?"

"Back to my father..." Gu Siyuan elaborated on Jun Yin's matter, and finally said: "My son has obtained the evidence. There is also the witness, who is waiting in the East Palace now."

After saying this, Gu Siyuan handed the memorial in his hand to Eunuch Li, who presented it to the emperor.

The emperor took the memorial and looked through it. Seeing the indignation under the strong and powerful handwriting, he became furious after reading it line by line. He immediately slapped the memorial on the desk and cursed: "How unreasonable! You are enjoying the salary of the imperial court and the blessings of the people, but you are enjoying the blessings of the people." Do such an animal thing!"

"Father, how should we deal with this matter?"

"What do you think?" The emperor did not answer, but asked Gu Siyuan.

Knowing that the emperor was training himself, Gu Siyuan replied, "I would like to have the witness sign the identification document as a reward."

After a pause, he continued: "Ask the Yushitai to capture Li Chengzhang and others with evidence."

"Yes." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Just go ahead and do it."

Gu Siyuan took the order.

There was evidence and witnesses, and Li Chengzhang and other corrupt officials were quickly put into prison. The emperor ordered that these corrupt officials behead three clans as a warning to others!

But these are the aftermath.

At this time, Gu Siyuan did not leave, but knelt down again, "Father, I would like to ask for a favor for Miss Qin."

"Oh?" The emperor was quite interested, "Why should I give her grace?"

Gu Siyuan said: "This time about Jun Yin's investigation, Miss Qin went with me. A lot of information was obtained by Miss Qin, and the witness was also persuaded by Miss Qin."

"I think the second girl deserves a reward."

-

After Qin Zhongwan chatted with Liu Lanyan for a while, he took Qinglian to the city gate again and told many refugees that Li Chengzhang would be punished.

"Thank you Miss Qin Er!"

Some refugees spoke up and thanked them.

These people saw Qin Zhongwan and Gu Siyuan leaving the city together and knew that they were going to investigate Jun Yin.

Now that Qin Zhongwan can tell them this, it means that they have found evidence of Li Chengzhang's corruption and exorbitant taxes. Their hometown will have a chance to recover as before, and they will no longer have to live in exile.

However, some people believe it and some people don't.

"It's not that I want to pour cold water on you, it's just that Miss Qin is just a woman, how can she know what's going on in the court? The punishment documents haven't come out yet... Don't be happy for nothing."

After these words were spoken, many refugees fell silent and became quite demoralized.

Qin Zhongwan frowned and continued to appease everyone.

Can have little effect.

It was at this time that a high-pitched voice sounded.

"The decree arrives—"
