Chapter 616 Hypocrisy
Tang Ru now probably knows a little about Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi. Even though Lin Jinxiao is not a greedy person, Chu Nanzhi is a lover of money.
It was justifiable for these officials to send congratulatory gifts, but the couple dare not accept it, which shows that there must be tricks in it.
It's just that Her Royal Highness is greedy, and moved her mother, queen mother, and the elderly out for these treasures, and she really couldn't stop her.
Understanding all this silently, after the officials had left, Tang Ru dared to say: "How can Her Royal Highness ask for the congratulatory gifts that the officials gave to King Pingning? This is really outrageous."
"What are you afraid of?"
Lin Jinqian carefully counted the alluring jewels in the room, and smiled indifferently: "It's just a sick child, there is nothing to be afraid of, besides, he is ungrateful, he and that jealous woman are ignorant, let's go You can’t be so ignorant of flattery, why bother with Yinzi.”
Tang Ru had no way to refute with a bitter face.
At this moment, Sima Zhang Yu, the guard of the palace, was led in by his servants.
"Hey, General Zhang, I don't know what the general's visit to the humble house is all about?"
Tang Ruqiang asked with a smile.
"At the behest of the concubine, the last general came to deliver His Highness's password."
Zhang Yu cupped his hands respectfully: "Your Highness's old illness broke out. Today, the prefect of Funing County took the opportunity to send someone to assassinate His Highness. His Highness was so angry that he ordered Xu Jinzhou, the county magistrate of Tuyuan County, to inspect the disaster relief in the eight counties. The princess is now Now that she is pregnant again, the state government can only rely on the governor for all matters, and the governor is specially appointed to handle the case of Xing Huan's embezzlement, and to strictly investigate the corruption cases in all counties."
Tang Ru couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard that, he exchanged some polite words with Zhang Yu, sent him away, and then showed a look of carnival: "Sure enough, as the lady expected, this King Pingning can only rely on his husband now."
"Naturally, otherwise he would have to resign from His Majesty."
Lin Jinqian was also delighted, and began to think about how to make the jealous woman kneel in front of her and beg for mercy after all the power in Pingning Prefecture fell into the hands of her husband.
"Just who is this Xu Jinzhou? Why did King Pingning entrust him with important tasks?"
Tang Ru couldn't help feeling vigilant.
"It's just some unknown idiots. Anyone around Lin Jinxiao who can use him is just reckless."
Lin Jinqian suggested with a smile: "Since it is the matter that King Pingning asked, if Xing Huan dared to assassinate, my husband can help deal with Xing Huan. As for the officials in the other counties, you only need to tell them to be careful and don't do it again." Let people grab the handle, anyway, Lin Jinxiao will not go to inspect it himself."
"Well, what the lady said makes sense."
Tang Ru nodded thoughtfully, and readily accepted the princess's proposal.
In the prison of the state capital, because it has just rained in autumn, the dungeon looks extraordinarily cold and damp.
Chu Nanzhi led He Ying, Tang Weiming and other talents down to the dungeon, and couldn't help shivering.
Tang Weiming hurriedly draped a robe prepared in advance on her shoulders, and said with distressed concern: "The princess is already a little weaker, and she is pregnant, where should she come to such an unlucky place, I only hate the clumsiness of servants , can’t share the worries for the princess.”
"I'm not as weak as Manager Tang said."
Chu Nanzhi smiled at him.
I thought about what kind of suffering I had never experienced when I was a criminal policeman.
But this white and tender little **** is indeed warm and caring. Although he has only known each other for a long time, he is always meticulous, but I can't let myself feel a little wary of him.
"As long as Director Tang and Director Hai manage the internal affairs of the palace for me, I will be grateful."
Now that she hasn't entered the palace, she doesn't know the loyalty of the servants in the palace. Thinking of the post house, she reminded: "There are various forces hidden in the Rongning Garden of a small post house. Our palace shouldn't appear like this." situation."
"Please rest assured, the princess. Although the slaves can't guarantee that everyone in the palace is facing the princess, there is a little slave who dares to guarantee with his life."
Tang Weiming examined Chu Nanzhi, bowed his head with a sincere face, and said: "At least the servants can guarantee to serve the princess and His Highness personally, and the servants of the little princess and the little princess are all loyal."
"With Manager Tang's words, I feel relieved."
Chu Nanzhi was very pleased with his pertinent promise, and continued to walk towards the dungeon.
Go to the discipline room, sit down, and Xu Jinzhou has been brought by the jailers.
Guan Erbai had Xu Jinzhou escorted forcibly, and glared at him in annoyance. When he faced Chu Nanzhi, he was full of complaints: "This guy is really restless, and he hasn't been free for a moment since he was imprisoned."
"That's why you ordered someone to punish the county magistrate Xu."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Xu Jinzhou who was in a panic, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Almost got beaten into a pig's face, but he still looks rebellious, but he really has a bit of character.
Guan Erbai looked at Chu Nanzhi's weird eyes, feeling a little guilty, and didn't dare to speak.
"Hurry up and remove the instruments of torture for County Magistrate Xu."
Chu Nanzhi had finished stealing the music, and immediately ordered the guards to remove the shackles for Xu Jinzhou.
But the thornhead was completely ungrateful, struggling and cursing: "Don't be so hypocritical as Princess Pingning, if you want to kill or cut, please feel free, if you frown, you are not a seven-foot man."
"This palace knows that County Magistrate Xu is a tough one, and ordinary swords and swords naturally cannot make you submit, but you should be executed for slandering the superior, the court and the prince."
Chu Nanzhi asked someone to take the box of grass **** he sent over, took out one and casually chewed it in front of him: "I also came from the village, so I know how it feels to be hungry. , Bengong also personally sent his younger brother-in-law to prison because of the theft of money to support his family. Now someone has robbed the life money of Xu county magistrate and the people under his rule. Not to mention you, even Bengong is naturally You have to risk your life to **** it back."
"Hmph, it turns out that Princess Pingning still knows what it means to be hungry. The officials thought that Princess Pingning was once rich and honored, and she was used to flattery and completely forgot about it."
Xu Jinzhou snorted coldly, turned his head and snorted coldly with contempt.
"Bold."
Tang Weiming saw that he was so disrespectful to the princess, the anger in his heart rose immediately, and he loudly reprimanded:
"Xu Jinzhou, you are really an elm-headed one. The princess solves cases like a god. She hasn't investigated any difficult cases. Could it be that she can't tell good from evil with such a simple matter in Tuyuan County?"
Gu stared at him angrily, and Tang Weiming's eyes became more severe: "If the princess doesn't put you in prison today and hand you over to Xing Huan, how can you survive now? Can you still leave me alone?" Are you insulting the princess here?"
Tang Weiming's call and repeated questioning, Xu Jinzhou's nerves suddenly penetrated, and only then did he belatedly realize that the princess's move was to protect him and not the victim.
He stared blankly at the extremely indifferent Chu Nanzhi, hesitatingly said: "Princess, it is true that you have already noticed the hidden truth?"
"certainly."
Chu Nan Zhi's eyebrows flickered slightly, and said with a shallow smile.
