The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Under Zhou Xiaoyuan's careful care, Xia Yechen's body gradually recovered. His wounds gradually healed and his body was no longer so weak. This made both of them very happy.

"Your body has almost recovered." Zhou Xiaoyuan said to Xia Yechen, "We can continue on our way."

"Okay." Xia Yechen replied, "We have stayed here for a long time, and now we must rush back to the capital as soon as possible."

The two began to prepare to leave the village. Before leaving, Xia Yechen decided to deliver a letter to the capital, telling the emperor about his assassination.

After Xia Yechen's letter was delivered to the capital, the emperor noticed from a few words that something was wrong with Prince Jing towards Xia Yechen.

He began to doubt the motives of Prince Jing and Concubine Jia, and decided to take action.

"I have received news that Xia Yechen has left the capital safely." The emperor said to Prince Jing and Concubine Jia, "However, I also found that your actions towards Xia Yechen are somewhat suspicious."

"If you dare to take any action against Xia Yechen again, I will punish you severely!"

Prince Jing and Concubine Jia were shocked when they heard what the emperor said. They knew that the Emperor was aware of their plans and had warned them.

They had to restrain their actions and wait for the opportunity to take action again.

Under Zhou Xiaoyuan's care, Xia Yechen gradually recovered. He decided to officially set off for Nanyang.

Without Prince Jing's obstruction, their journey became smoother. They had a calm journey and soon arrived in Nanyang.

"We're finally here." Xia Yechen said with emotion, "Thanks to your care along the way, otherwise I might not have been able to persevere."

"It's all for our mission." Zhou Xiaoyuan replied with a smile.

After the two arrived in Nanyang, they went to the local government office.

Xia Yechen's arrival frightened the local governor. He secretly wondered if Xia Yechen knew something when he came here.

So, he decided to meet Xia Yechen and ask him about corruption.

"Master Xia, why are you here?" Fu Yin asked cautiously.

"I heard that there are some problems with the treasury here, so I came here to investigate." Xia Yechen replied, "I hope to find out the truth to safeguard the interests of the people."

Fu Yin was shocked when he heard Xia Yechen's words. He immediately denied it: "There's nothing wrong here, everything is fine."

Xia Yechen became even more suspicious when he saw Fu Yin's reaction. He decided to ask other people to see if there really wasn't a problem here.

He came to the street and asked passers-by about the treasury. However, everyone avoided answering his questions, and some even gave contradictory answers.

This made Xia Yechen feel a little confused, and he began to wonder if there was anything special going on here.

Seeing Xia Yechen's confusion, Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a little worried. She decided to help Xia Yechen investigate the matter.

She began to communicate with the locals and learned some rumors about the treasury from them. But when she asked for more details, she found out the rumors were untrue.

"There are indeed some problems here." Zhou Xiaoyuan said to Xia Yechen, "However, we cannot be fooled by these rumors. We need to find more evidence."

While browsing the information, Zhou Xiaoyuan found this

There was a big discrepancy in the flow of money, which made her suspect that Fu Yin might be involved in corruption.

She told Xia Yechen about this and suggested asking the local people what they meant.

"I think there must be something wrong here." Zhou Xiaoyuan said to Xia Yechen, "But when we asked the people, they seemed a little evasive, as if they had something to hide."

When Xia Yechen heard Zhou Xiaoyuan's words, he felt that there must be something wrong here. He decided to go with Zhou Xiaoyuan to find the people to understand the situation.

"We are here to investigate the situation in the treasury." Xia Yechen said to the people, "We hope you can tell us the truth, and we will give you justice."

With Zhou Xiaoyuan's patient comfort and encouragement, the people were finally willing to reveal their hearts and told Xia Yechen all the hidden secrets in the treasury.

"In fact, not only does corruption exist here, it is also very serious."

A commoner plucked up the courage and said, "Master Fu Yin often collects taxes and fees under various names, and then puts most of them into his own pocket."

"The superficial phenomena we saw are just a false impression created by Mr. Fu Yin after he knew the news of your coming in advance, just to allow you to investigate with confidence and leave after the investigation is completed."

After Xia Yechen learned about Fu Yin's corruption, he was very angry. He ordered a strict investigation of Fu Yin. He believes that the governor's crimes must be completely exposed and justice must be served for the people.

"I will definitely expose the governor's crimes." Xia Yechen said firmly, "We cannot let these corrupt officials continue to harm the people."

Zhou Xiaoyuan decided to take all the accounts of the treasury back.

Read the actual ledgers carefully. She believes that by carefully analyzing the accounts, more clues will be discovered.

When Zhou Xiaoyuan looked through the account books, she discovered many loopholes. These loopholes made her realize that the matter was not that simple. She began to study every detail carefully, looking for more clues.

However, when Zhou Xiaoyuan discovered the evidence and wanted to find Xia Yechen and tell him about the incident, there was sudden noise outside the window.

Zhou Xiaoyuan's heart tightened, and she was keenly aware that something was wrong. She was about to call out when suddenly a man in black jumped out of the window and headed straight for Zhou Xiaoyuan.

"Be careful!" Xia Yechen shouted and quickly rushed to Zhou Xiaoyuan, protecting her behind him.

The man in black and Xia Yechen quickly exchanged blows, and between the flashes of swords and shadows, the two of them went back and forth, starting a fierce battle. Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at them nervously, her heart beating like a drum.

In the end, Xia Yechen was superior and defeated the man in black. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black turned around and ran away. Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that this fight was far from over.

Zhou Xiaoyuan carefully reviewed the battle just now, and she found that the movement of the man in black was very similar to that of Fu Yin's bodyguard. This made her begin to wonder if Fu Yin's corruption case had anything to do with the man in black.

"I think the corruption here is not as simple as we thought." Zhou Xiaoyuan said to Xia Yechen, "This man in black may be Fu Yin's bodyguard. Their movements are very similar."

Xia Yechen frowned after hearing this, realizing that Zhou Xiaoyuan's guess might be correct. This makes them jealous of Fu Yin's greed.

A deeper understanding of the corruption incident.

"We must continue to investigate." Zhou Xiaoyuan said firmly, "We cannot let these corrupt officials continue to harm the people."

Xia Yechen nodded, he understood Zhou Xiaoyuan's determination. He also knows that only by thoroughly exposing corruption can justice be served to the people.
