After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

"Shut up."

When the lady mentioned corruption, the prefect became furious and his eyes showed a cruel light.

Seeing this, Madam didn't dare to say anything and just stood by the side.

Almost half an hour later, the prefect's expression softened and he took his wife's hand, "Madam, we have to ask for blessings this time. If you don't want us all to die in an ugly way, be kind to these people from the capital." a little."

The prefect's expression was extremely serious, leaving his wife no chance to argue.

She nodded dully.

The couple discussed here for a long time before walking out of the ancestral hall.

This was their first time doing this, and the servants in the house also became nervous, especially the old housekeeper.

He has been serving the prefect for many years and has never seen him like this.

They have been walking sideways in Nanhu these years, but no one dared to do anything wrong to them. Even the housekeeper has almost forgotten what it feels like to be embarrassed.

Now that he saw such a group of people coming, both the master and his wife looked flustered, and he had to be nervous.

"Sir, madam, it's dinner time. It's time to eat."

"it is good."

The prefect nodded to the old housekeeper and went to the dining room with his wife.

But facing the fine food, neither of them had any appetite at all.

The old housekeeper watched from the side and was silent for a long time without taking a few bites.

It wasn't until the old housekeeper asked his servants to put away the food that he followed the prefect to the study.

"Sir, is Master Gu really that powerful?"

The old housekeeper couldn't believe that such a young master was actually a minister of the court and a popular person in front of the emperor.

The prefect sighed, "I don't want to believe it either, but this is the truth. Go and clean up. Count all the money in our house and collect all the rare and rare treasures."

"master……"

The lady who had prepared bird's nests for the prefect outside the door happened to hear this and immediately became unhappy, "Do you have to hand over those jewels too?"

"Madam, if you are unwilling to part with these, then you and I will have no choice but to lose our lives."

At this time, the lady was not aware of the seriousness of the matter, so the prefect was naturally anxious.

The prefect gave her a cold look, looking very unhappy.

"Madam, do you want life or wealth?"

"I……"

The prefect's wife loves money, but what's the use of wealth without life.

She was completely discouraged. The prefect waved to the housekeeper, who nodded understandingly and hurried out to prepare.

In really three hours, from the perfect hour to nightfall, the housekeeper and the servants of the house prepared all the jewelry.

The prefect's wife looked at the treasures all over the yard with tears in her eyes.

"Master, what can we do without these?"

The eunuch sighed and hugged his wife into his arms, "You can keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood."

He said this to comfort his wife, but in fact he had no confidence in his heart.

The lady cried and nestled in the master's arms.

At this time, Tengxi came to the house with a group of guards outside the house.

Looking at the big boxes all over the yard, he couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that his master had guessed it right.

The prefect was really scared and he really found everything.

It looks like it's all worth it.

Teng Xi didn't hesitate for a moment, and quickly asked people to take everything away.

The master has said that if there is a slight mistake, the governor may regret it. Not only will he get these, but he will not get any bits and pieces.

A group of guards cut through the mess quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all the boxes were moved to the carriage outside.

Nowadays, disaster relief in the west naturally requires silver, and the prefect can use it urgently.

Gu Huaijing had already asked Teng Xi to report this matter to the court at high speed.

I believe that the emperor will get the evidence in less than three days.

When the imperial court and Gu Huaijing unite, the ministers in the imperial court will be unable to sit still.

It's easy to take them down.

Now everything is going according to the plan to take care of Huai Jing.

Tengxi was worried that the prefect would regret it, so he left quickly.

This large group of people, carrying a batch of jewelry, will soon arrive in the west.

Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu were still waiting. When they saw Teng Xi's motorcade, they breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Huaijing supported Tan Zhixu and went to greet them.

Gu Yu, who was about to fall asleep, heard the noise and quickly got up.

"Girl, how are you?"

"Are you back?" Gu Yu opened his eyes and saw Teng Xi.

At this moment, Gu Yu grinned, "I really got it."

Guyu jumped up to Tengxi, "Commander Teng, did you really get it?"

"got it."

Teng Xi smiled at Gu Yu.

Not far away, Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw this scene.

"Gu Yu and your Teng Xi are quite suitable."

Tan Zhixu smiled and gave Gu Huaijing a look.

Ever since, Gu Huaijing also laughed.

When the two arrived in front of Tengxi, he pointed to the carriage behind him with a smile, "Master, Miss Tan has brought them all back. I didn't expect that a little prefect could get such stolen money."

Teng Xi was really confused, and felt that everything was wrong.

A good parent official embezzled people's life-saving money just to live a luxurious life.

Teng Xi became angrier as he thought about it, "Sir, I'm so angry. Can I go and beat him up now?"

He said it very seriously, and he couldn't tolerate Gu Huaijing thinking that he was joking.

Gu Huaijing frowned and stared at Teng Xi. He was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, don't kill anyone."

At first, Gu Huaijing only knew that the prefect was involved, but now that he saw so many things being pulled back, Gu Huaijing also felt resentful towards the prefect.

After receiving Gu Huaijing's approval, Teng Xi left suddenly.

Guyu chased him.

"Commander Teng, take me with you. I also want to see how he is taught a lesson."

Gu Yu was so angry that she clamored to go with Teng Xi.

Teng Xi thought for a while, then looked at Tan Zhixu, "Miss Tan, is that okay?"

"Protect Guyu."

"Yes."

Just like that, the two disappeared into the night.

Tan Zhixu didn't look back at Gu Huaijing until they were no longer in sight, "When this matter is resolved, let's get them engaged."

"It depends on what they want."

"Ah."

Tan Zhixu smiled at Gu Huaijing.

From this day on, the prefect and the corrupt officials became honest.

The imperial court quickly issued a document demoting all these corrupt officials and even banning them from entering the court again in the future.

When the people learned that this group of people had embezzled the disaster relief funds given to them by the court, and many other things, they rose up to attack them.

"It turns out that the imperial court has already reduced our taxes..."

The people in the west have lived a very hard life in recent years, and sometimes they even tightened their belts to pay taxes. But now, it turns out that all the money has gone into the pockets of corrupt people.
