Lin Gao was stunned, "Prime Minister, please speak!"

"The drought in Jiangbei is severe, and farmers are starving to death. Why has this official been in the city for so long, yet you haven't seen a single refugee, such as a beggar, in the city? This Darchu Prefecture is a place of great calamity, especially the three places, Yiyang, Silver Ridge and Jiu Hao, which are the most important! " Cobb did not look up at anyone as he said this.

No one could tell what kind of expression he was wearing at the moment, but they could hear his gentle voice as he slowly pouted, "Sir Lin, it's only because of the cold weather that we should be cautious, so as to not accidentally step on the wrong path. However, as officials, we have to face the people beneath our feet and the black gauze on our heads! "

"The Emperor is worried about Jiangbei, so we share his worries. We have to be clear about what we're doing, and if we do things too cleanly, it'll leak all over the place." Finally, he slowly raised his head to look at the pale-faced Lin Gao Hui, "Mister Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Gao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "What Prime Minister said is extremely true!"

Hearing this, Ke Boya sneered, "Sir Lin, there is no need to be nervous. This Prefecture Palace is Lord Lin's residence. You should understand some things more clearly than I do. I believe you do not need me to remind you of anything! "I'm used to it just now, don't mind it!"

"No, no, no. The Prime Minister has a wise mind. This official is enlightened!" With that, Lin Gao bowed, "Then this official will go handle this murder case first!"

Cobb stood up and said, "This official will be taking a walk around. If there's anything else, I will inform Sir Lin immediately!"

"Yes sir!" Lin Gaojiao hurriedly retreated.

Outside the elegant garden, Gongsun Zhen waited by the side of the carriage. "Sir?"

Lin Gao only dared to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead after seeing him turn his head as he walked.

"Lord, how is it?" Gongsun asked hurriedly.

Lin Gaojiao took a deep breath, "Don't expel the refugees!"

Gongsun Zhen was stunned. "Sire, you mean …"

"There are no refugees in the city. Even the Prime Minister can see that. He even reminded me to share the worries of the Emperor. I can't let this matter go too smoothly!" Lin Gao thought for a moment. "I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable. If we were to blindly expel the refugees and spread them to the capital, then I will be sentenced for a crime of disadvantage!"

"If I allow the refugees to enter the city and open up a porridge shop, then I can save some moral integrity for myself. This can be considered a proper display of my abilities before the Prime Minister!" Seeing that he was holding the carriage, Lin Gao turned his head to look at Gongsun Zhen, who was deep in thought, "Do you understand?"

Gongsun Zhen hurriedly bowed. "Yes!"

After returning to the mansion, Lin Gao saw something and said, "That's right, I'm going to the warehouse tomorrow to take a look. Have someone prepare something in advance, perhaps tomorrow I'll have to invite the Prime Minister!"

Gongsun Zhen's eyes widened in shock. "Sir, you want to buy a warehouse?"

"Yes sir!" Lin Gaojiao frowned, "What's the matter?" Is there a problem with the warehouse? "

"No!" Gongsun Zhen hastily smiled apologetically. "No problem, it's just that things happened too suddenly. I'm afraid that the other side might not be ready. We need to tidy up and clean up properly!"

"Then get some people to go over. Anyway, there are a lot of people idling around in the yamen. "Normally, it's useless. Now that the Prime Minister has reached the Danzhou City, we should make them all move!" Lin Gao entered the room.

Gongsun Zhen was still standing outside the door with an ugly expression on his face. It was as if someone was calling out to him, and when he turned around, he saw that there was a person standing behind that stone lion. If he looked carefully, wasn't that the Turtle clan's Duke of Liughong Pavilion?

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhen hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, the coachman had already led the carriage away, since there was no one by the door. He quickly walked down the stairs and dragged Mr. Turtle to a quiet place outside the wall. "What are you doing here? Is this a place you can come to? "

"Grand Master, mother asked me to ask. What exactly happened?" "Then, Miss Mei Er …"

The moment Miss Mei Er was mentioned, Gongsun Zhen's expression changed. He glared fiercely at Master Gui and quickly stuck his head out to check. After confirming that no one was nearby, he let out a sigh of relief. "There's no need to say anymore!"

"But Grand Master, we already said that we would only frame him, and didn't say that he wants to kill anyone!" "Now that Miss Mei Er has died for no reason, you've gone too far!"

"Chi …" Gongsun Zhen looked at him coldly. "You guys did this yourself, what does it have to do with me? Besides, the medicine is yours, not from me. Do you have evidence to prove that I let you do it? "

Duke Gui was stunned and was rendered speechless.

"The medicine was taken by you guys, and the one who died was also a member of your Breaking Dawn Pavilion. If something happens, don't even think about taking it from me!" Gongsun Zhen straightened his body, his eyes were sharp, "You should all know, the reason why Fleeting Pavilion was able to prosper in the Darchu Estate was all thanks to our Lord Lin's backing! It was only because of this woman that they were able to have this day. However, if we were to be infuriated, the Fleeting Pavilion might completely disappear from the Darchu Estate. Even the rest of you … What crime should we commit for framing a member of the government? "

Master Gui quickly bowed. "This little one …" This little one doesn't dare! "

"To control one's mouth is to control one's head! In the borders of the Great Zhou Province, it's best to speak carefully. " Gongsun Zhen sneered, "The future of Fleeting Pavilion still depends on our Lord Lin's preferences. If it wasn't for the fact that Sir Lin didn't like her, I'm afraid … This pavilion, which is from the Manchu Prefecture, has been razed to the ground in a single night! "

"Yes, yes, yes!" The turtle official hurriedly nodded. "This lowly one understands!"

"It would be best if he really understood!" Gongsun Zhen snorted coldly. "Don't bother me with this sort of thing in the future. Although I'm a Grand Master, sometimes …" It is up to me to say anything in front of Lord Lin! Do you understand? "

"Understood!" Master Gui's face turned pale.

Gongsun Zhen turned around. "In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to appear near the magistrate court and the residence. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Yes sir!" His voice trembled as he waited for Gongsun Zhen to leave. In a hurry, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Indeed, they would rather offend a gentleman and not a vile character. Furthermore, they would be so despicable and shameless!

After taking a deep breath, Master Gui did not manage to obtain the confirmation and could only rush back to Fleeting Pavilion.

Closing the door, the old procuress asked, "How is it? What did Grand Master say? "

"Grand Master said, he didn't let us kill him before. Now that Miss Mei Er has died, it has nothing to do with him. Duke Gui lowered his voice and said, "Mother, is there someone who wants to interfere? That medicine …" "It's just a knockout drug, why would it kill you?"

The old procuress thought for a moment. "This is definitely strange. It's obviously knockout drugs, how did it turn into poison?"

"Did I take the wrong one?" Asked Master Gui.

The bawd shook her head, "It's not surprising that there's knockout drugs in this pavilion, but there's poison … He had to be careful! "We are in the flesh business, so we can't kill people, so …"

"Understood!" The Turtle clan elder was aghast. "Grand master turned hostile, this debt …"

"This debt will be settled sooner or later! Gongsun was truly a vile character. If something happened, he would get it cleaner than anyone else. But how could things in this world be resolved so easily? A cat that steals can't escape the smell! " The old procuress gritted her teeth.

Outside the door, a figure quietly left.

After this farce with Master Gui, Gongsun was already aware of the danger. Lin Gao saw that because he feared Cobalt, he didn't dare to make a move. But Gongsun couldn't wait any longer. If the things he did behind the scenes were exposed, no one would be able to protect themselves!

At this point, the only thing he could think of was to silence Zhao Jing by killing him. As long as Zhao Jing died, everything would be tied to him! With Zhao Jing's death, Mei Er's case could be closed, and the official food case could also be closed.

The only thing he could do now was to let Zhao Jing die!

It was as easy as flipping his hand to order a few of his trusted aides and kill a mute prisoner in the magistrate court in the dead of night. Of course, this was on the premise that Zhong Fu, the renowned Crown Prince, would not come out and mess things up.

On the King's side, Gongsun truly could not afford to offend him.

Zhao Jing was imprisoned. This was her second time in the prison. Looking at the skylight, he recalled the movements of Jing Rong's fingertips when he left the Hongkong Pavilion. The space between his eyebrows had been slightly twisted.

Only the people next to Zhao Jing would know that she had such a small movement. They loved to tap their fingers on the abdomen when they were pondering over a problem.

Jing Hong was Wei Shuge's man? Was it such a coincidence?

Sitting on the wooden bed, Zhao Jing looked outside at the jailers walking around. They had really put in a lot of effort, afraid that she would run away! With a quick thought, Zhao Jing's expression darkened.

This also explained one thing: they were ready to kill at any moment!

When the food was served, the jailer sneered, "Do you want to take advantage of the heat to eat a few more bites? Let me tell you, our great master Qingtian will definitely enforce the law impartially, so don't even dream about getting out of here alive! "

Zhao Jing looked away and turned a deaf ear.

"Humph! Dead mute!" The guard spat and left while cursing.

Not long after, Zhong Fu ran in with a food box in his hand. "Are you hungry?" I brought you something to eat. " Saying that, he kicked over the prison guard's bowl of rice, "The food and water in here, don't touch them! "I'm thirsty, I'm hungry, let me help you take care of it."

Zhong Fu stared at the guard: "Open the door!"

The jailor opened the door hesitantly. Zhong Fu excitedly carried his food box and walked over to Zhao Jing. "Come, eat!"

Zhao Jing took a deep breath. It seemed that the only person he could believe in this Prefecture City was this cynical Crown Prince! He had brought her favorite dishes. Zhao Jing stared blankly at him.

"You don't like it?" Zhong Fu froze for a moment. "I saw you eating happily that day, and I thought you liked …"

Zhao Jing shook his head and silently picked up his chopsticks to eat.

The food was divided into two portions. This brat had come to accompany her for a meal, and had even earned his title, "Eating alone is too lonely, only the two of them can be considered lively." Zhao Jing pursed his lips, feeling a bit lonely … He didn't care about numbers, he just cared about people's hearts!

"Actually, the way you're smiling is really pretty. You should laugh more often!" Chung Fu, holding his bowl of rice, smiled at her like a fool!

Zhao Jing couldn't help but restrain her smile. As a puppet emperor, how could she be so happy? Her happiness and sorrow were already beyond her control. Unless one day, she had the power to kill!

The originally dark and gloomy prison cell had become abnormally warm after just one meal.

However, a certain someone's face gradually turned gloomy.

The night was as cool as water, and his tall figure spread out a layer of dark and ruthless intent beneath his feet.

"Is the Crown Prince going to bring her food?" Dongfang Buming stood with his hands behind his back, sounding heavy.

Zhou Zhiqian frowned, but he could only answer truthfully, "In reply to Master, the scout …" That's what I said! "

"What else?" Dongfang Wenming asked again.

Zhou Zhizhi bowed his head, "Also, Master Gongsun has already been prepared. Tonight, we will definitely take action! "Kill Young Master!"
