The soft and sticky crown princess is reborn and throws herself into the arms of the crown prince

"How about it?"

Seeing Bi Qi come in, Mu Yunchen stood up and asked anxiously.

Bi Qi bowed to a few people, glanced at the people around him, and only spoke after getting Mu Yunchen's approval.

"Your Highness, I followed your orders and went to the county government office to do something for you.

Indeed, I have discovered that everyone in the county government, from the prefect to every runner, is extremely greedy.”

"Even the account books of the disaster relief funds in the past two years have not been altered. I secretly copied a copy."

As he spoke, Bi Qi took out a few account books from his arms and handed them to the table next to Mu Yunchen.

Mu Yunchen frowned as he looked at the account book, seeming a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Bi Shiqi immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, if you come to Fanyang this time, you should bring Ziyi with you."

Mu Yunchen glanced at him. This kid had no intention of hiding his thoughts at all.

"Your Highness, do you need someone who can look at the account books?" Ouyang Yue stood up, bowed to Mu Yunchen and asked tentatively.

Mu Yunchen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ouyang Yue with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Mrs. Chen knows how to read the account book?"

Ouyang Yue nodded slightly, and Chen Chuhe explained at the right time: "Your Highness, you don't know that before my wife married me, she took charge of all the business in the family and was quite famous."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Chen."

Mu Yunchen nodded politely and handed the account book to Chen Chuhe. Chen Chuhe then arranged for Ouyang Yue to sit aside and carefully checked it.

"Today I detained General Yan Mingshi. Have you ever been to the prison to get close to him?"

Mu Yunchen continued to ask.

Bi Qi was silent for a while, frowning before he spoke.

"I sneaked in during the meal delivery and took a look from a distance. Yan Mingshi did not look worried at all. Instead, he looked very calm, as if... he had been waiting for this day for a long time."

Bi Qi just felt very strange about his hesitation, and couldn't find how to describe Yan Mingshi's reaction for a moment.

"According to what Bi Qi said, the corruption in the prefectural government office is almost exposed, as if waiting for His Highness to come and investigate."

Bai Yu also noticed something was wrong and carefully recalled the strange things that happened on the way to the county government office today.

Although they are greedy, they show their greed openly, which is very strange.

The front hall suddenly fell silent. Mu Yunchen's expression seemed a little complicated, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he asked Bi Qi: "You just said that in Yan Mingshi's study, the account books for the past two years have not been changed, and they are placed in the most conspicuous place?"

Bi Qi nodded, that was indeed the case.

"That is to say, the account books from two years ago were most likely altered and hidden."

Mu Yunchen raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes like cold ponds narrowed slightly, and he already had a guess in his mind.

After hearing what he said, Mu Peiyun seemed to understand something and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"So, Yan Mingshi might have really wanted to be greedy before, but what happened two years ago made him suddenly change his ways?"

After Mu Peiyun finished speaking, he felt that it was a bit unreasonable.

"That's not right. If he wants to mend his ways, wouldn't it be better for him to just fill the shortfall in disaster relief funds and submit a petition?

Why do you need to set up a trap to get His Highness to investigate personally? Even if you find out, it will not be good for your reputation. "

"What if he has other intentions?" Mu Yunchen looked at Mu Peiyun and expressed his guess.

Mu Peiyun didn't quite understand at first, until she heard Mu Yunchen's words. She hesitated for two seconds and suddenly became a little unbelievable.

"Could it be that Yan Mingshi wants to drag someone down with him, and this person is most likely the one behind him?"

Mu Yunchen nodded in agreement. He always knew that Qingning was smart, but he didn't expect that she was just as good as men when it came to investigating cases.

Before everyone had time to catch up with Mu Yunchen and Mu Peiyun's train of thought, the couple had already connected everything together.

"Bi Qi, go back and continue to lurk in the county government office. Remember to protect yourself. When you are gathering information and searching for evidence, you must ensure your own safety."

"Yes, Your Highness." Bi Qi bowed again, opened the door and left.

After Bi Qi left, Chen Chuhe glanced at Ouyang Yue and walked over with some relief in his heart.

The lady is always so quiet, yet she keeps her true nature to herself. He must have accumulated good fortune for several lifetimes to have met a woman like her.

"Ma'am, how are the accounts going?"

Ouyang Yue rubbed his eyebrows, raised his head and met Chen Chuhe's gaze, he smiled knowingly, and the tiredness just now had dissipated.

Looking at the account books is an extremely tiring job, especially since these are the account books of the imperial court's disaster relief funds, which require even more carefulness.

"I've only read part of it, but I've already come to a conclusion."

As he spoke, Ouyang Yue stood up from his seat, walked around the table and bowed politely to Mu Yunchen.

"Your Highness, I just looked at the account book you brought and the account book I copied from the county government office. Although I only read part of it, when I compared the two, they are exactly the same."

"I have also roughly read the rest, and it is exactly the same."

After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell into deep thought. It was probably just as His Highness and the Crown Princess guessed, Yan Mingshi voluntarily surrendered himself, but deliberately designed it to be discovered by His Highness.

The purpose is not to arouse suspicion among the people behind him, but also to let His Highness continue to investigate. This is an internal conflict in the wolf's den.

interesting.

“There are only account books from the past two years, and the account books from two years ago are hidden, which means there must be something wrong with the account books from two years ago.

Where is it hidden? And in whose hands is it hidden?"

Mu Peiyun tried to organize the timeline and chain of evidence, and subconsciously expressed his thoughts.

Mu Yunchen nodded: "Well, Qingning is right."

After a pause, Mu Yunchen sighed and said to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work today. Everyone go back and rest first. Let's disperse. We will meet again tomorrow."

It's getting late. No matter what, we have to let everyone go back to sleep. There's no point in dragging a group of people here to discuss things.

"I'm sorry to bother you these days, Lord Chen." Mu Yunchen said politely to Chen Chuhe.

Chen Chuhe and his wife hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? You and the Crown Princess can stay here with peace of mind. You will be safe in my house."

Bai Yu: ...

Why is there no one to take care of him and let him go back to be a beautiful woman?

No, it was inconvenient for a woman like the Crown Princess to live in a brothel, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also moved to the Governor's Mansion with the Crown Princess.

So it would be convenient for a man like him to live in a brothel? Was there no extra room for him to stay in the governor's mansion?

Forget it, no one cares about him, so he can only go back obediently.

I just hope Jing'er knows and doesn't misunderstand him. There is only room for Jing'er in his heart for the rest of his life.
