The imperial concubine, she is rich and enemies in the Three Realms

Chapter 531 You Know Me Best
After everyone ate to their heart's content, Huangfu Yunyi revealed the results of the investigation, "Sister-in-law Sanhuang, I have already found out what you asked me to investigate. The grandpa and grandson are from a remote village in Xizhou called Baitu Village."

"Baitu Village?" Ling Nuan gnawed on a chicken leg, "Go on."

"Baitu Village has a special terrain and soil, which is not suitable for growing food, but it is suitable for growing herbs. Therefore, people in Baitu Village basically make a living by planting herbs. Although their lives are not rich and rich, they are also enough for food, clothing and well-being. , was broken five years ago."

Baitu Village is under the jurisdiction of Xizhou Xicheng. The previous prefect of Xizhou was accidentally killed five years ago, and the new prefect is Mo Dayong.

After Mo Dayong became the new prefect of Xizhou, he implemented a high-pressure policy, not only increasing taxes, but also openly robbing the people of their property, even robbing women and buying and selling children, making the people of Xizhou miserable.

Hearing these things, Huangfu Yunli was furious, slapped the table and cursed: "This damned Mo Dayong is really a coward."

Feng Ruo asked curiously, "Although I don't know much about how your Yunfeng Empire governs and manages the Yunfeng Continent, this Mo Dayong should be a small official in your empire. Doesn't your empire not have such a small official doing such evil?" Does anyone care?"

Huangfu Yunyi said: "The Yunfeng Continent has a huge territory, and it is inevitable that some people like moths will miss it, especially in remote areas, which are perfect places for some people to dominate and search for wealth. If only Zhou Dayong is alone, even if he is the magistrate, he does not have the ability to do whatever he wants in the Xizhou area. Mo Dayong's cousin is the current Concubine Mo, and there is a concubine at the top to take care of him, and the people below will open the way for him."

"Concubine Mo Gui?" Huangfu Yunli's expression became uneasy when he heard this person.

Ling Nuan asked: "What's wrong with Concubine Mo Gui? Is she stronger than King Yu?"

"That's not true. Concubine Mo Gui is actually just a daughter of the common people. After entering the palace as a court lady, she accidentally got the appreciation of her father, and then took the position of concubine step by step. In the palace, Concubine Mo Gui is low-key and never competes for favor. , this kind of her is even more favored by the emperor, until now, she is still one of the emperor's favorite concubines. If she is not in poor health and unable to bear children, I am afraid that she will be more favored."

A woman with no power, no background, and no background can become the emperor's favorite concubine, and her honor and favor have not fallen to this day. This is not something ordinary people can do at all.

Unless the emperor really likes this woman, none of this is possible.

Ling Nuan had been in contact with the emperor several times, and he could see that the emperor was definitely not the kind of person who would make people lose their minds, so it was absolutely impossible for him to ignore his subjects because of Concubine Mo Gui.

What's more, the emperor's cultivation base is not low, ordinary women can't catch his eyes at all.

Ling Nuan asked Huangfu Yunyi again, "Have you checked out the rest of the matter?"

Huangfu Yunyi nodded, "It's all been found out. The officials on the Xizhou side are almost connected as one, and they teamed up to deceive the top and the bottom, and lied about everything. There are also people in the imperial capital who secretly took benefits to cover them. Father is always busy, so he can't take care of that side for a while. This time Yu Wang rebelled, his party members were all dealt with, and it happened that the people who were secretly covering for Xizhou were Yu Wang's party members."

During the recent period, they only dealt with Prince Yu's henchmen, especially the rebellious officials and thieves in the imperial capital city, as for the remote places, they have not been able to take care of them for the time being.

Xizhou knew that something had happened in the imperial capital, and almost all the officials who had been secretly covering for them had been executed. No one would protect them anymore, and everyone felt a little flustered.

At this time, they relaxed the high-pressure management of Xizhou, and some poor people who were driven to a desperate situation took the opportunity to escape.

The grandparents were one of them.

Huangfu Yunli has already figured out Ling Nuan's temperament, knowing that she likes to worry about the people and stand up for the poor, "Sister-in-law Sanhuang, don't worry, since we already know about this matter, we will definitely not let it go. Once the father The emperor knows that no matter who it is, it will not end well."

But just after she finished speaking, Xue Dong came to report, "Miss, something happened."

Ling Nuan asked: "What happened?"

"The grandpa and grandson died yesterday."

"What? Dead?" Ling Nuan stood up abruptly because she was too surprised, "How did you die so well?"

"Although they didn't have any wounds on their bodies, according to the experience of my subordinates, they were assassinated."

"Assassinated?"

How could he be assassinated after living in the Ling family's restaurant?

"The subordinates don't quite know what's going on. Yesterday, the grandpa and grandson were fine. The doctor came to see and said there was nothing serious, just rest and recuperate for a while. But this morning, the grandpa and grandson never came back again. Come out of the room. Everyone was busy at that time, thinking that the grandpa and grandson probably wanted to sleep for a while, so they didn't bother. But at noon, there was still no one. The waiter in the restaurant was a little worried, so he went in Look, it was only then that they realized that their grandpa and grandson were out of breath, and even their bodies were already cold and stiff, so it can be seen that they had died last night. The Patriarch is dealing with it over there, and the news has been blocked. Sun's status is ordinary, so no one cares."

"That is to say, their grandpa and grandson were assassinated in our restaurant."

To actually dare to kill people on her territory, how courageous it is!

Xue Dong remained silent, with guilt and self-blame on his face.

This is his dereliction of duty.

Everyone can see that Ling Nuan is quite angry at the moment, but they don't know how to persuade her, after all, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be angry.

"Nuan Nuan, don't get so angry." Bi Ruomeng comforted her.

Ling Nuan took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Mother, don't worry, I won't make myself angry. No matter who is making trouble in my territory, I will find him out. Master Xiu, help me busy."

Xiu Yunsi said bluntly: "I will go to the palace in a while and help you read Mo Guifei's memory."

"You still know me best. If this Concubine Mo is really making waves, I will definitely make her unable to make any waves again."

Two people's lives were lost like this, and they were still lost on her territory, she was so angry!

Huangfu Yunli also guessed that this matter might have something to do with Concubine Mo Gui, so he reminded, "Nuan Nuan, even if Concubine Mo Guifei really did this, without real evidence, it would be difficult for us to touch her."

"As long as she did it, I can quietly make her pay the price and let her be buried with the grandparents without any real evidence."

No one doubted Ling Nuan's words, and didn't think she was talking big. They just mourned for that Concubine Mo Gui from the bottom of their hearts.

It's not good to provoke anyone, but Ling Nuan, you are digging your own grave.
