Hey, you are reborn too?

In the previous life, there were people crying and complaining in the streets of the capital, and then the people went to the gate of the Dali Temple and rang the bell to appeal for justice, which made the chaos in Chizhou a big deal.

Xie Yongwei still remembers that the officials from Chizhou were tied up and paraded through the streets of Beijing. After the parade, their faces and bodies were covered with bruises, and there were many rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs around them.

How did Xie Yongwei know this when she was only 10 years old? Because she also donated two vegetable leaves and three eggs when the parade passed by the gate of the General's Mansion.

In her previous life, Xie Yongwei was very concerned about the outcome of the corruption case involving officials in Chizhou. She clearly remembered that when Xie Shian left the court that day, she ran over and asked him: How is it, have all the bad guys been dealt with?

Daddy didn't reply, he just held her in his arms and murmured, what is good and what is bad...

What do you mean?

Xie Yongwei raised her little face and blinked her eyes, full of innocence.

She clearly saw that her father was melancholy and looked quite lost, but he raised the corner of his mouth and said to her: Awei, the bad guys will be dealt with, you have to believe that doing evil will eventually be punished.

At that time, Xie Yongwei didn’t understand. She just felt that her father was weird. Not only did he not tell her what happened to the bad guys, but he also kept talking about some big principles.

She pouted, ignored her father, and ran to find her brother to find out what happened.

When Xie Yongwei learned that the Chizhou official was sentenced to a heavy sentence, she was very happy.

But I always feel something is strange. Xie Yongxuan said that no matter how they were tortured, they said that they were motivated by money and did not receive instructions from anyone. But why do I always feel that they don't have such courage?

Brother, maybe you are overthinking it.

Xie Yongwei answered innocently.

Only now did Xie Yongwei understand her father's silence and her brother's doubts.

There was so much silver and supplies for disaster relief that it would be difficult to be discovered if they only took a little.

But they chose to take the risk and almost took away all the supplies and money.

The most suspicious thing is that they were unable to hand over the stolen money and could only shout in the Dali Temple, "I don't have any money, but I have my life."

Now, Xie Yongwei thought that they were most likely to belong to Jiang Yu and transfer the huge amount of stolen money to other people under Jiang Yu.

As for why they would rather be tortured and executed by slow slicing than betray Jiang Yu, it is probably because their families were controlled by Jiang Yu and they had no choice. Or the benefits Jiang Yu offered were too great and they really couldn't refuse.

It seems, Xie Yongwei narrowed her eyes, that she might have to consider reporting these Great Abyss termites in advance, so that they will not take advantage of the situation when the flood comes in Chizhou.

But who should I turn to report to the emperor, my father, or His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, Jiang Mian.

"Avi!"

Xie Yongwei was trying hard to think about the pros and cons of the two options when she suddenly heard her father calling from outside.

When she turned around, she saw Xie Shian striding into the inner room. His mouth was grinning and his eyes were almost invisible from laughing.

"Daddy," Xie Yongwei stood up and saluted. She looked at Xie Shian with inquiring eyes. This time she was genuinely puzzled. "What happened? You look so happy."

"Hey," Xie Shian sat down on the armchair, his arms resting naturally on the armrests, "Awei, did you know that the Seventh Prince personally reported the official from Chizhou at the morning court today? This really makes your father very happy!"

Xie Yongwei's eyes widened slightly and her pupils shrank slightly. It turned out that Jiang Mian had already discovered the corruption of Chizhou officials.

I must have informed him in advance, letting him know that there would be a flood in Chizhou, which made him think of the corruption of local officials.

"Dad," Xie Yongwei tilted her head slightly, pretending not to understand, and blinked her eyes, "The officials in Chizhou were reported, why are you happy?"

"You don't understand this," Xie Shian seemed to be teasing her. He picked up the teacup on the table, blew away the foam on it, took a sip, put down the porcelain cup, and then slowly spoke, "Dad went to Chizhou for work a few years ago and accidentally learned that the local officials collected taxes harshly and the living conditions of the people were extremely poor."

At this point, Xie Shian seemed to remember something. He was silent for a moment before continuing his conversation: "It's a pity that Daddy was useless and failed to report the Chizhou official. He could only let the matter go unresolved."

Xie Yongwei didn't expect that there was such a past event. From Xie Shian's few words, she keenly felt that things were not that simple.

However, since Xie Shian didn't say anything on his own initiative, there was no need for her to expose his wounds. She just stood quietly by the side and listened to Xie Shian say whatever he wanted to say.

"That's why I'm very happy that His Highness Seventh Prince reported them."

Xie Yongwei raised the corners of her mouth slightly and nodded obediently to show that she was listening.

"However," Xie Shian's eyes had just been looking at Xie Yongwei, but now they were drifting away, and his voice also revealed a bit of vicissitudes, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince is really brave. After all, the officials of Chizhou are backed by the Queen's mother's family."

"What?" Xie Yongwei thought she had misheard and repeated it softly. She looked at Xie Shian with a serious look, "You just said that the power behind the Chizhou officials is the Queen?"

"No, no, no," Xie Shian waved his hands, refusing to admit his fault, with a forced smile, "Awei, don't say that outside. Daddy was just joking, don't take it seriously."

"Yeah," Xie Yongwei nodded gently, with the corners of her mouth curled up, "Dad, I won't say anything casually outside."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Xie Shian pressed his chest lightly, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

Although everyone in the court knew that the Empress was the power behind the Chizhou officials, no one dared to mention it openly.

The reason is simple. The current emperor dotes on the queen, and as a result, the power of the queen's mother's family has also increased.

Xie Shian sighed lightly. If the Queen really wanted to save those Chizhou officials, she had a way to do it.

The best option is to keep those officials alive but just exile them.

Secondly, even if those officials were sentenced to death, with the power of the queen's family, they could still find someone to take the blame for them.

Xie Shian pressed his temple. The water in the court was very deep.

This press made Xie Shian alert. He suddenly remembered that the man who disguised himself as Xuan'er last night was still imprisoned in the dungeon.

"Awei," Xie Shian stood up from the armchair, his face sweating and his smile completely withdrew, his eyes flashed with coldness, "Daddy still has things to do, you go do your thing first."

"Okay, Daddy, take care."

Xie Yongwei bowed gracefully and saw Xie Shian off.

Water dungeon.

"Snapped"!

A sharp whip sounded mercilessly on the man.

“Ahhh,” the man had messy hair and half of his body was soaked in water. He looked a little out of his mind. “Please, spare me!”

"I'll spare you," Xie Shi'an's voice was majestic, resounding in the dungeon like a judge, "That depends on how much you are willing to confess!"

Xie Shian narrowed his eyes, paused and said, "Master of Ghost Sect."

The man's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at Xie Shian as if he couldn't believe it.
