On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Brother Xia, you arrested me by mistake. Now I have the right to know the truth."

Cen Xiao spread his hands and continued to ask.

Xia Huai'en then raised his eyelashes: "The one who trafficked in people was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows, turned around and left.

As expected, he is the one in charge of money and is really greedy!

"Where is Shen Wantang now?"

As soon as he reached the door, Cen Xiao stopped and asked.

Xia Huai'en's heart tightened for some reason, but he still gave the answer: "In the house south of Zuixian Tower."

After getting the answer, Cen Xiao left the Ministry of Justice without looking back.

"Don't be afraid, girls. I'm here to save you. Your case has been investigated by the government, and you will definitely be cleared of all charges!"

Shen Wantang comforted the frightened girls.

The girls huddled together, the fear in their eyes still not gone.

Looking at these, Shen Wantang just felt heartbroken and sad.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door and the girls were so scared that they huddled together.

Shen Wantang went out, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Cen Xiao standing outside.

Although they hadn't seen each other for just a few days, Cen Xiao still felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart the moment he saw Shen Wantang.

"Now that I see you, I feel relieved."

He spoke slowly.

Shen Wantang suppressed the sadness in her heart and nodded coldly.

"It's late, go home quickly." After he finished speaking, he was about to close the door.

But Cen Xiao held the door open: "Let me stay. With one more person, you will feel more at ease."

Shen Wantang shook her head: "Those girls were frightened, and now they can't stand seeing men."

Cen Xiao still didn't give up: "I can help you from the side."

After a long stalemate, Shen Wantang finally nodded.

After settling the girls, Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief and left the room.

As soon as he came out, he saw Cen Xiao who had been waiting there.

He raised his hand, and two bottles of wine appeared in his hand.

Climb up to the roof and look at the moonlight today.

"Those robbers were very cunning. They knew that people in the capital would not dare to touch the Cen family army, so they changed into the clothes of the Cen family army."

Having said this, Cen Xiao was filled with anger and actually crushed the empty wine jar with his bare hands.

Shen Wantang spoke slowly: "Now, these things are over."

"It's just that people from the Ministry of Revenue are involved in this." Having said this, Shen Wantang couldn't help but frowned.

"How many good people are there in the Ministry of Revenue? They seem to be obsessed with money all day long. Tonight, they caught several corrupt officials in the Ministry of Revenue, saying that they embezzled the disaster relief grains provided by the court."

Cen Xiao smiled contemptuously and shook his head helplessly.

Disaster relief food?

"But, what about the disaster in Nanzhou?" Shen Wantang's heart tightened.

Cen Xiao was shocked and looked at Shen Wantang in disbelief: "Not many people in the court know about this, and this matter has not been reported to the military camp. How did you know about it?"

Shen Wantang lowered her eyes and spoke hesitantly, "I, I just heard about it by chance today."

In the previous life, the disaster in Nanzhou caused tens of thousands of victims to flee northward, causing a lot of panic along the way.

General Shen was sent to quell the rebellion and was deeply loved by the people. This also made Ji Xunchuan suspicious.

Thinking of this, Shen Wantang frowned - this disaster had finally come.

However, calculating the time, the disaster is only within the territory of Nanzhou. If it can be quelled earlier, those refugees will not cause trouble, and General Shen will not be suspected by Ji Xunchuan.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing what was on Shen Wantang's mind, Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

Shen Wantang regained his consciousness and breathed a sigh of relief: "Does the Emperor have a minister in mind for disaster relief?"

Hearing this, Ji Xunchuan sneered and laughed: "Miss Shen is drunk? You're asking me questions that even a three-year-old child knows?"

After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang finally came to his senses.

"The emperor can trust everyone in the court, but he won't trust me." Cen Xiao slowly lay down and spoke.

A breeze blew by, and Shen Wantang also felt a little cold.

Cen Xiao saw it and sat up again.

"It's getting late. Go to bed early. You still have to take care of these girls tomorrow."

In the following days, the capital city was truly not at peace.

Especially in Prime Minister Lu’s residence, people came to visit one after another, and Lu Mingfeng was really overwhelmed.

In the end, he claimed to be ill, declined to see guests, and no longer attended the morning court.

"My Lord, are we going to have to hide from them forever?"

Mrs. Lu was already a little impatient, and waved her hand and asked.

Lu Mingfeng was still leisurely, sipping his tea, and slowly spoke: "Xia Huai'en's reforms have affected the interests of many people in the court, and most of them are my people. Now, as long as I don't show up, those small fish and shrimps will be laid off. I will do him a favor so that we can get along well in the future."

But Mrs. Lu was really depressed.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm not allowed to do this or that. I want to go to the palace to find my elder sister! I've been suffocating in the mansion these past few days!"

Having said that, Mrs. Lu was about to stand up.

Lu Mingfeng slowly raised his eyelashes: "In a few days, my elder sister will organize a party, saying it is a spring banquet, you can go then, it is very popular these days!"

What Lu Mingfeng said does make sense.

Madam Lu sighed: "What kind of life am I living now!"

In just a few days, as many as two hundred officials had been investigated.

Among them, more than one hundred redundant officials were laid off.

Xia Huai'en even lived in the government office, and the kitchen in the mansion was already covered in dust.

Shen Wantang pondered over it for several days at home.

"Qing'e, help me pass on a visiting card. I want to enter the palace."

She finally made up her mind.

"Right now, the disaster in Nanzhou is not very serious. I'm afraid it's a bit hasty to send disaster relief officials there."

Ji Xunchuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Shen Wantang kowtowed: "Your Majesty, no one can predict the disaster situation. Now, all we can do is to prepare for a rainy day. Besides, the grain production in Nanzhou is not much. If the court does not pay attention, the disaster will spread to the surrounding counties. By then, it will be too late to send people there."

Ji Xunchuan frowned, as if thinking about something.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "That's the truth."

"But the court is carrying out a major reform right now, and there are not many officials who can be used." Ji Xunchuan was a little troubled.

Hearing this, Shen Wantang spoke up enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, if you can trust me, I am willing to share your worries!"

As he finished speaking, a barely detectable suspicion flashed across Ji Xunchuan's eyes.

Before this, Shen Wantang never asked about these things.

It is really unexpected that he actually proposed it now.

Given Ji Xunchuan's suspicious nature, he would definitely ask a few more questions.

"Oh? Could it be that Wan Tang has come up with a good plan?"
