When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

There was a sudden rainstorm outside the window, and the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves made a crisp "crackling" sound.

Dense lines of rain poured down from the sky, one after another, hitting the leaves of the grass and trees outside the house, causing them to bend left and right and tremble violently.

The noise was so loud that before anyone could hear what they were saying, it was drowned out by the sound of rain.

Qin Jizhao felt that Qin Zhaolie's anger seemed to be as sudden as the rain.

Even though he didn't know the truth, he had expected it at this moment. Things were not simple, and perhaps they were related to him.

He looked solemn and looked back at Qin Zhaolie: "I don't know what you are talking about, Sixth Brother."

But to Qin Zhaolie these words sounded like a denial.

Qin Zhaolie turned his head away and stopped looking at him. He questioned Zheng Rang again: "This matter is of great importance. Are you serious about what you said?"

Zheng Rang nodded: "I have come here through untold hardships, so I take it seriously. I am willing to guarantee it with my life."

The emperor turned the jade order over and over in his hand, but could not find any clues: "We also need to investigate who owns this jade order."

Seeing that the situation was almost ready, Qin Xingyue asked the most crucial question: "Since you are here, what have you brought to present to the emperor? To prove that what you said is true?"

Zheng Rang understood, and took out something wrapped in layers of cloth, holding both hands high above his head: "This is the list of people who withheld project funds."

"How can you, a mere canal supervisor, have a list?"

Qin Zhaolie couldn't help but question: "Are they stupid enough to be discovered by you!?"

This statement attracted everyone's attention, and the meaning of this statement is thought-provoking.

Qin Zhaolie knew he had made a mistake and tried to make amends by saying, "I mean, if someone had intended to do something so dirty, they would have planned it very carefully. It would be unrealistic to be discovered by a leader."

Although it may not be pleasant to hear, it is true.

In fact, this list was not collected by Zheng Rang alone. Qing Ming also obtained it through secret searches. Most of it was found by Qin Yuechuan when he was controlling floods in Lizhou in his previous life.

I still remember those names, and it would be a good opportunity to list them all out and present them here.

"It's not just me, there's also that unknown good man."

Zheng Rang followed Qin Yuechuan's instructions and if he encountered anything that he couldn't explain, he would blame it all on "that person".

Although Zheng Rang still didn't know who "that person" was, he would do whatever King Rong said, and it would never be wrong.

Qin Zhaolie felt that his anger had reached his chest at this moment, like boiling magma, with the heat rising and surging straight to the top of his head.

However, this was not the time to get angry, so Qin Zhaolie patiently swallowed his breath and asked calmly, "Is that kind person the same person who gave you the jade pendant?"

"probably."

Zheng Rang deliberately dragged out his answer halfway through, and secretly glanced at Qin Yuechuan. He was relieved when he saw him nod slightly.

The answer was ambiguous, but Qin Zhaolie was almost certain in his heart:

That person is Qin Jizhao!

Qin Jizhao actually stabbed him in the back!

The emperor had already carefully read the list in the cloth bag. He was somewhat angry, but the words of this small leader alone could not completely convince him.

The emperor's fingers tapped his hand unconsciously, as if he was thinking about something.

Qin Xingyue could see that the emperor still had doubts, so he took the initiative to speak: "Father, if you still have concerns, you can send someone to accompany this chief back to Lizhou to investigate and make a decision, how about that?"

The emperor remained silent, staring at Zheng Rang with his hawk-like eyes. Although Zheng Rang lowered his head, he could still feel the chilling gaze.

It is difficult to defend the emperor's intention. He is just a small official. If the emperor wants to keep things quiet, then he will have no way out.

"Do you know my identity?" The emperor suddenly asked an "irrelevant" question.

Zheng Rang sighed once again, His Royal Highness Prince Rong was truly a master of foresight. Everything that happened today was within his expectations, and he even guessed this question.

“I didn’t know, but after asking around, I learned that there’s a nobleman here who comes here every year.

Although I don't know your name, I think he should be someone in the court. There is a 50% chance that this will work. I am willing to take a chance!"

"How do you know that the master here is someone from the court?"

"This is near the Imperial Manor. I heard that the Imperial Manor belongs to the royal family. The one who could build a villa nearby must be one of the ministers in the court, or maybe a prince.

So, come and give it a try."

The emperor smiled and said, "You are very smart. I will tell you that I am the emperor today!"

Although Zheng Rang already knew about this, he still acted flattered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty! Please forgive me if I did anything inappropriate just now!

I have offended Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

The emperor was very satisfied with his reaction and waved his hand, pretending to be magnanimous: "It's okay, you are also pleading for the people.

In this case, I will send someone to go back to Lizhou with you to investigate thoroughly!"

He looked around, as if considering who to send with him.

Qin Zhaolie volunteered: "Father, I am willing to share your worries and go to Lizhou."

He thought that it would be safer to keep the matter in his own hands and wait for an opportunity to deal with the chief canal master!

The emperor glanced at Qin Zhaolie. It wasn't that he didn't trust his ability to handle things, but he still remembered why he had been confined to his room. If it was other matters, it would be fine to leave it to him, but for this matter...

Isn't this clearly asking the oil rat to look after the lamp oil!

inappropriate.

At this moment, Qin Yuechuan, who had not spoken for a long time, stepped forward:

"Father, I am willing to do the same!"

"Brother Emperor, or your humble brother——"

"Then Chuan'er, go and take a trip with this canal master!"

The emperor did not give Qin Zhaolie a chance to fight back and made the final decision.

"I'm tired. You can handle the follow-up on your own, but you must give me a satisfactory answer!

I don't want to hear a word from outsiders about what happened today!"

After saying this, without caring about everyone's expressions, he stood up and walked straight into the inner room.

Under the dim rain curtain, a brief and dazzling light illuminated half of the sky, and then thunder exploded, rolling in like a huge drum.

Since the emperor left, the scene fell into silence, with different souls having their own thoughts.

Qin Yuechuan did not delay any longer and ordered Qingyang to deal with the recent affairs and set off for Lizhou in three days.

Maybe I can catch up with Yueyue.

Maybe it was because there had been thunderstorms recently, which made him feel uneasy and as if something was going to happen.

Suddenly he remembered something, turned his head and asked Qingyang: "Has the secret guard's report from yesterday not arrived yet?"

Qingyang replied: "There have been thunderstorms recently, and the pigeons will indeed be affected—"

"Get ready as soon as possible. We will set off early. Zheng Rang will be escorted by Qingfeng and others."

"Yes, I'm here - Your Majesty!?"

When Qingyang looked up, he saw Qin Yuechuan's brows were tightly furrowed, his right hand was slightly raised, and a cut suddenly appeared on the tip of his right middle finger, and several bright red blood beads rolled out.

He was actually injured by the paper on the table.

Qin Yuechuan lowered his eyes and stared at the wound on his hand, his eyes were deep.

He didn't know why, but he felt particularly flustered and irritable today. The last time he had this feeling was when his mother was in trouble.
