When the prince has the ability to read minds, he switches to the princess

Shanxi

After Zhu Gaoyong entered the city, Wan Dunyi had already thought of a countermeasure. He distributed the greedy money to various officials in Shanxi to hide it from everyone.

After meeting Zhu Gaoyong, he first admitted that he had indeed lied about the drought and took the initiative to provide relief, and then explained that he was excusable.

Governor Wan Dunyi led him around, and first said that all the money he had collected in recent years was used to repair the palace. Zhu Gaoyong did not answer, but lived directly in the palace. Afterwards, he did not ask Wan Dunyi about corruption or bribery. Instead, he ate, drank, had fun, walked his dog and played with his cat.

Wan Dunyi heard that the emperor only sent a prince with no real power to investigate the case, and believed that the emperor was deliberately protecting him for the sake of the emperor's face.

Now I see that the Ninth Prince is not in a hurry to investigate the matter, and he doesn't even ask a question.

He felt that this was just a formality.

But after Zhu Gaoyong came, Wan Dunyi was now more sure that it was the emperor's desire to protect him. Zhu Gaoyong's fun again and again numbed Wan Dunyi's heart.

Even when Wan Dunyi was drunk, he proudly revealed that he had embezzled money, bribed officials and people.

Zhu Gaoyong took this opportunity to launch an attack, and then ordered all Shanxi officials to be captured and interrogated.

Zhu Gaoyong asked them to plead guilty.

At first they were reluctant, but after Zhu Gaoyong found all the money from Wan Dunyi's concubine and the embezzlement and bribery, they had to confess.

When Wan Dunyi sobered up, he realized that it was already very late.

"How do you know where the silver is?"

Zhu Gaoyong hummed.

"You don't need to know. Are you pleading guilty now or do you want to struggle again?"

Wan Dunyi is cruel.

"Your Majesty Ninth Prince, the whole of Shanxi is owned by me, do you think you can get out?"

Zhu Gaoyong frowned: "Do you want to kill His Highness?"

"Hmph, if you die in vain, I will report to the Emperor that you acted wantonly in Shanxi, robbed women of the people, and were killed by the people. The sky is high and the Emperor is far away. Do you think you can go back?"

Zhu Gaoyong was not angry but smiled.

Does this person have a pig head?

"Then if you say I kill you now, will the entire Shanxi officials applaud and send His Highness back safely?"

"..."

Wan Dunyi was shocked. Of course, those people wanted to die. If he died, they would follow their nonsense.

They will put all the blame on themselves, and when the time comes...

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, I was promoted by the Emperor himself. If you kill me, you will be slapping the Emperor in the face. You are not favored to begin with. If you do this after this, you will definitely be disgusted by the Emperor."

"Oh, then what do you think my Highness should do?"

"I still have some savings in my hometown in Jincheng. If His Highness can help me, I will obey His orders in the future. This time, just forget it?"

It turns out there is still one.

"Besides your hometown in Jincheng, is there any other place?"

Wan Dunyi nodded.

"Have."

"How can I get it?"

Wan Dunyi didn't say anything at first, but Zhu Gaoyong didn't seem to give him a chance and was about to leave.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I said, I said..."

In this way, Zhu Gaoyong got all Wan Dunyi's property and ordered him to be poisoned, pretending to commit suicide out of fear of crime.

After Wan Dunyi died, the remaining officials were extremely grateful to His Highness Ninth Highness. Some even gave His Highness Ninth Highness many gifts, and Zhu Gaoyong accepted them all.

Then he returned to Beijing with gold, silver and jewelry to resume his life.

He saw no one during this period, and went straight to the palace as soon as he entered the capital.

"Did you kill the person?"

"Yes, I personally poured the medicine into him."

"You...I asked you to do something, and this is how you do it?"

"Yes, I have caught the moth. I think this can be done."

"I asked you to investigate, not to deal with it."

"The minister has already dealt with it."

Emperor Ruizhong was so angry when he saw that he was a dead pig that he was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, he ordered people to put him under house arrest.

Zhu Gaoyong didn't defend himself and just went back.

The emperor was angry because he dealt with Lao Jiu, but when he calmed down, he had to praise him for doing the right thing.

This matter involves all officials in Shanxi. If Wan Dunyi is allowed to live, none of those officials will be spared.

The court was dealing with so many officials at once, and it was impossible to find replacements.

Li Quanxi came forward to serve tea, and the emperor asked: "Li Quanxi, do you also feel that Lao Jiu is too lawless?"

Li Quanxi did not dare to say anything wrong about the prince, but changed the subject and said:

"Your Majesty, Master Jiu has moved a lot of things."

Thinking of this, the emperor ordered: "Let Lei Xiao from the Ministry of Husband enter the palace."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue led people to search for gold and silver treasures. After spending most of the day, they finally counted all the money embezzled by Wan Dunyi.

This is quite a bit of income.

He laughed unconsciously as he counted. The treasury now had funds again.

When he entered the imperial study room to report this matter to the emperor, the corners of his mouth were raised.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Ninth Prince collected a total of three million taels of embezzled money this time, as well as countless gold, silver and jewelry from famous people's calligraphy and paintings."

"His Royal Highness Ninth searched for Wan Dunyi's embezzled money this time. He searched so thoroughly that even the jade bricks in their house were exposed."

Although this said that His Highness Ninth Highness was a bit arrogant in doing things, he had to boast that His Highness Ninth Highness did a good job in doing things.

"Lei Xiao, what do you think about this matter?"

"Your Majesty, not only that, His Highness Ninth Prince also recorded in the book the money spent by various officials in Shanxi to bribe His Highness Ninth Prince, totaling one million taels."

The emperor didn't believe it, so Lei Xiao directly handed over the payment details to the emperor.

After the emperor saw it, he was very angry.

"I know that none of these officials have anything to do with it. A group of officials can easily collect one million taels, and they complain to me every year about their poverty. One by one..."

"..."

The Minister of Household Affairs didn't say anything, but after the head of the Household Department was registered, he directly pulled it back to the treasury.

At the same time, Shan Yijia escorted the Xixia envoys to Beijing.

When entering Beijing today, Princess Fushun asked for leave from the old lady, saying that she wanted to go out and watch the excitement.

The old lady agreed, so they occupied the ninth floor with the best view, waiting to catch a glimpse of the female general.

Of course Xirou has met her and is very familiar with her. Of course, she is not that familiar with him now, so she needs to get familiar with him.

After Shan Xijia came to Beijing, the princess and prince of Xixia were received by people from the Ministry of Rites, and Shan Xijia went to the palace.

When Xirou went to Xi's house, she met her grandfather first, and her grandfather was watching Xi Leiting's sword dance. Although he was young, his moves were already impressive.

"Good practice, Thunder, come here and take a rest."

Grandfather personally came forward to wipe the sweat from his face.

Xirou stepped forward and said, "I have met my grandfather."

Xi Min's face became even happier when she saw Xi Rou.

"Xirou, come and take a look at this child."

In the previous life, this child was threatened by the Shan family's eldest cousin. The eldest cousin had agreed to their request, but they still killed her and the child was gone.

In this life, she took the lead in writing letters back and blocking their way.

"This is my cousin's child."

Seeing that she knew, Xi Min asked, "How do you know? Your cousin even told you this?"
