After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day
Chapter 229 Okay, I promise you
He Qingchen raised his voice.
It seems hard to believe that Wang Huan would use the word "misunderstanding" to cover up Cao Quan's crime.
He slammed the table, shocking Wang Huan's heart.
He Qingchen walked out of the desk and walked towards Wang Huan step by step.
The heavy and solemn footsteps slowly hit Wang Huan's heart, and he felt a little uneasy.
I always feel that Cao Quan's little tricks on the farm would never make the prince so angry. Could it be that he was so bold that he did something that the prince could not bear?
Before he could guess it.
He Qingchen had already stood in front of Wang Huan.
He stared down at Wang Huan, gnashing his teeth and saying word by word: "Wang Huan, do you know what Cao Quan has done in the past few years? Have you ever asked him, or visited the manor?"
Wang Huan lowered his head guiltily at He Qingchen's scorching gaze.
He Qingchen sneered: "Ha~"
“Over the years, Cao Quan has been at the manor with no one to supervise him. He has taken advantage of your indulgence to do whatever he wants.
They forcibly abducted women, oppressed tenant farmers, and even arbitrarily changed the rent set by this king. Regardless of whether it was a good year or a bad year, the rent would be increased by at least 10% on the basis of what I had set, and there were even cases of an increase of 20% or 30%.
The tenants work on my farm, but they can't even get enough food and clothing.
Unable to survive, they had no choice but to sell their children.
Wang Huan, I was wrong.
This prince has indulged you so much over the years, and your mind has been spoiled.
Over the years, you have left the army. Do you still remember why you went to the battlefield? Do you still remember that you said you wanted to protect the people? This is how you failed me...
Wang Huan, tell me yourself, how should I deal with you? "
He Qingchen's words "you were wrong" hit Wang Huan.
He just felt a chill in his heart.
This means that He Qingchen is completely disappointed in him.
He Qingchen began to reflect on himself and examine whether he was wrong to leave the palace to Wang Huan alone to manage.
I heard He Qingchen's last sentence.
Wang Huan was confused.
He wanted to argue.
But because he had hardly been to the village in these years and really didn't know the situation there, he had no way to defend himself. In fact, because he arbitrarily drove away the tenant farmers who came to the village to complain, it seemed that he and Cao Quan were birds of the same feather.
Wang Huan knew it very well.
He Qingchen brought this matter up here because, firstly, he already had enough evidence and had investigated everything clearly. He might have even checked out the account books between him and Cao Quan.
Secondly, based on his understanding of He Qingchen.
He didn't say this publicly because he should still have some affection for me.
After today, I'm afraid this little bit of affection will be gone.
Wang Huan thought about it again and again, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, since you said so, please listen to my opinion, then I will speak frankly. Cao Quan is my distant cousin.
Although my subordinates were not aware of many of the things he did and did not participate in them, when you trace it back to the root cause, it was my subordinates' connivance and protection that allowed him to act so unscrupulously.
Now that you have laid out the matter, I dare to ask you to spare Cao Quan and give him a light punishment for the sake of our relationship as master and servant. As for me...
I can resign from my position as the palace steward, take my family back home, and never set foot in the capital again."
In Wang Huan's eyes, although these things were the result of his connivance, he was not the one who did them. Resigning from the position of the general manager of the palace and taking his family away from the capital was the heaviest punishment.
This was the biggest concession he could make.
Although he had no qualifications to negotiate terms with He Qingchen, he did have some connections with him because they were in the Southern Border military camp.
However, after he finished speaking, He Qingchen did not answer for a long time.
He Qingchen just looked at him silently, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was no longer the subordinate with whom he could drink and chat happily in the army.
Wang Huan is actually very smart.
He knew that he had a certain weight in He Qingchen's heart.
No matter what, He Qingchen would always be a little more tolerant of him and willing to indulge him in small mistakes.
Cao Quan is different.
Therefore.
He did not plead for himself, but instead used up the friendship between himself and He Qingchen to plead for Cao Quan's family.
I do not know how long it has been.
He Qingchen suddenly smiled.
In his previous life, Wang Huan had never betrayed him. Therefore, in his new life, he was always more tolerant towards those who had not betrayed him in his previous life, and he also tried to treat those who lived and died with him with all his heart.
But he didn't expect that Wang Huan's betrayal was not open.
He had no way of investigating how much discredit his acquiescence and connivance of Cao Quan had brought to the Prince of Yan's Mansion and how many seeds of disaster it had planted for him and the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
But now, he knew what to do.
Wang Huan was stimulated by the laughter and his heart sank to the bottom.
He Qingchen curled his lips and smiled sideways.
He spoke very softly, with a strange calmness before a storm: "Wang Huan, are you sure you want me to let your relative go? Even though they have deceived their superiors and subordinates over the years and done many things to discredit the palace?"
Wang Huan was slightly stunned.
A moment.
He gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes. Your Majesty, I have been managing the palace for these years, working diligently and never slacking off.
Even if Cao Quan's family are not good people, I cannot watch them die, so please forgive them for my sake."
"Okay, I promise you." He Qingchen shook his head in disappointment.
The last bit of affection for Wang Huan completely disappeared.
Wang Huan still didn't know what he would face next.
He took a long breath of relief, kowtowed and thanked, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He Qingchen's face was very dark.
But Wang Huan didn't care about these at the moment. He only knew that since He Qingchen had promised him, he would definitely do it.
He Qingchen glared at him angrily and shouted to the outside: "Ye Feng."
Ye Feng, who was guarding outside the door, ran in quickly.
As he bowed, he glanced at Wang Huan from the corner of his eye and sighed, "My Lord, are you looking for a subordinate?"
"Go and tell the people at the Dali Temple that Cao Quan's case should be sentenced as it should be. As for the money that was withheld from Prince Yan's mansion, as long as Cao Quan can make up for it, I will not pursue it."
In other words, he could choose not to pursue what Cao Quan did regarding the tenant rent.
Without the palace's pursuit of this matter, the Cao family's situation would be better, but only better. From the whole family playing Candy Crush to the whole family being exiled, this was also a kind of 'good' given by the Yan Palace.
In this way, he had fulfilled Wang Huan's request.
It’s Wang Huan.
He obviously understood the other meaning in He Qingchen's words, and his face turned pale immediately, but he couldn't say anything else.
After all, He Qingchen was real, and considering his plea, he agreed to do the corresponding thing.
How about the Cao family?
It all depends on their own luck and the review of the Dali Temple.
