The daughter-in-law is so charming, she crazily criticizes the king regent for taking her life

Assassins appeared in the refugee camp outside the city, and the emperor ordered a strict investigation. Assassinating the prince is a serious crime.

Strict checks were carried out on people entering and leaving the city.

After the refugee camp passed that day, rumors gradually spread in Changyuan City that Crown Prince Gu Chong received disaster relief money embezzled by Yuzhou local officials, and none of the food distributed by the imperial court entered the pockets of the people.

Because there was no substantive evidence, the emperor did not deal with the matter.

Inside the Shen residence.

Shen Ange looked out anxiously from the door of her own courtyard. The weather was cold and she didn't even wear a cloak. As soon as Yun Zhi came, seeing her young lady's face flushed from the blowing, she hurriedly took out a cloak from the room to cover her.

"Miss, no matter how important something is, you can't freeze yourself like this. Let's go inside and wait."

At this time, Shen Ange was completely concerned about his father and brother. The incident happened only a day ago. Although the prince was fine, there were assassins among the refugees. This was negligence of duty.

She worries...

In case the father and brother are held accountable, how should they find out the origin of these assassins for the father and brother.

Or... to find out the truth of the rumor directly?
Shen Ange shook her head, vetoing this idea, how could she be too short to clear up the rumors, how should she proceed to investigate the corruption matter?
She fends off Yunzhi's holding hand.

"Yun Zhi, I'm waiting for Daddy, you go in first."

After saying that, she shook off Yunzhi and was about to go out to meet her.

In the past dynasties, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which was different, but for the supremacy, the court was divided into factional disputes.

Now that Gu Chong is the crown prince and the only prince of the right age under the emperor's knees, naturally he has many supporters, but there are also some people who do not support him, and the assassination in the refugee camp may be the one who initiated it.

Although the third prince is young, next year will be a year of weak crown, so he can compete for a while, but unexpectedly this year, the third prince suddenly became stupid, no matter how the prince checks, he can't find the cause.

Just as he was thinking, Shen Ange saw his father and brother dismounting at the door and returning with a cold wind.

"Father, brother."

"Father, His Majesty didn't blame you for the assassination?"

Shen Nantian and Shen Bai shook their heads at the same time, and then Shen Bai said: "The prince strongly emphasized in front of His Majesty that it was Daddy and I who tried our best to protect him to escape, so His Majesty praised Daddy and I for having nothing to do."

"But there was turmoil in the refugee camp, and His Majesty demanded a thorough investigation of the matter."

Without saying a word, the Shen family father and son went to the study.

Shen Ange didn't follow, she knew that her father and brother were there for the refugee camp.

Thinking of this, she turned around and went back to Yunyuan, calling for Gu Qing.

The charcoal fire in the room was warm, and strong wine was warmed on the stove, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Yun Zhi brought Gu Qing through the door and came in, Shen Ange asked him to sit down without raising his head.

With slender fingers, she lifted the flagon and poured a glass, and pushed it in front of Gu Qing.

"Tianhan, wine can warm you up, sit down, I have something to ask you."

Gu Qing sat opposite her obediently, with no expression on her face, and occasionally Shen Ange looked at him, and he greeted him with a smile.

"What's the matter Miss?"

"The prince was assassinated that day, and the rumors spread from it..."

Gu Qing drank the wine in one gulp, and then said, "Miss, do you think it's a rumor?"

"That's not the case, but I don't have any evidence, so I can only speak rumors, and His Majesty has not dealt with this matter."

The girl's voice was firm and full of strength, how could Gu Qing fail to understand what she wanted to ask.

Follow her words to unravel the answer for her.

"Miss, do you know what the trend of corruption is?"

"Corruption and giving gifts are nothing more than to increase officials and ranks, to get a vacant position in the future to be picked up by others, and to find someone behind who can support you to do whatever you want."

"The lady is so smart, how could she not think of the reason?"

"..." Shen Ange suddenly realized in the silence.

"It's approaching the end of the new year. I'm afraid that the etiquette in various places is already on the way to Changyuan. There must be some things from the magistrate of Yuzhou."

"But it's impossible for the prince to be so stupid as to throw himself into the net at this juncture, right?"

The young man laughed with contempt.

"Miss, don't worry, since there are such rumors, it won't be sent to Zhang Yuan, where will it be sent?"

Thinking of this, Shen Ange stood up all of a sudden, his eyes lit up.

Yes!

If this is not sent to Zhang Yuan, it will naturally be sent back to the disaster area in order to stop this rumor.

When the embezzled money reappears, it will naturally be mixed with gift money.

Sure enough, if it was handed over to Gu Qing, he would definitely be able to solve it smoothly.

……

After dinner, Shen Ange returned to Yunyuan.

Yunzhi closed the window, leaving only a little gap.

Shen Ange tapped on the table with her fingers. It is true that Gu Qing was right, but would the emperor depose the prince for this?

Do not!
impossible!

As far as the emperor is concerned, it is impossible for him not to know the methods of local officials.

This time the disaster relief money has not been delivered to the prince, the emperor will naturally excuse him, even if the punishment is not too heavy.

I just didn't know it would get to that point.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the rumors to spread, and the prefect of Yuzhou ordered people to arrest them, but the officers and soldiers refused to do it, and even dropped their helmets and armors and knelt down with the victims.

When this matter spread to Chang Yuan, a group of disaster victims knelt down in front of the government yamen that day.

The emperor was furious, and immediately after the next dynasty, the crown prince was announced to have an audience.

Shen Ange and his mother were preparing ginger tea in the room.

There were three voices outside the door, and Shen Ange knew that his father, elder brother, and elder sister had returned.

From the day of the disaster, Shen Wuhua asked for orders to go to Yuzhou.

"Sister!"

Shen Ange rushed out the door to meet her. Although Shen Wuhua had experienced in the military camp for a long time, in her eyes, sister was always a girl.

She feels sorry for sister.

"Sister, you've lost weight."

Shen Wuhua rubbed her head, and said dotingly: "No, no, my sister is fat, she can eat and sleep, come in, it's so cold, you'll be fine if you catch the cold."

Shen Wuhua put his arms around her and turned into the room.

Shen's mother had already placed the teacups on the table one by one, and the maid handed the three of them warm handkerchiefs to wipe their hands, and then handed over the stove.

Shen's mother said: "The study is cold, you can stay here, Ge'er and I just don't talk."

"Father, what does His Majesty say?"

Shen Nantian sighed and said: "What else can I say, about self-examination in the East Palace, reducing the cost of the East Palace, and taking out 1 taels as disaster relief money."

"that's it?"

"Ah."

Hearing what Shen Nantian said, Shen Wu slapped the stove on the table in a pompous manner.

"Hmph! As expected of the prince, such a big event can be safe and sound. Dad, you don't know how tragic it is in Yuzhou! The crops are not harvested, the houses are damaged, and the people have nowhere to go!"

"The silver and food distributed by the DPRK will not last long."

Shen Ange listened quietly at the side, it turned out that not only Yuzhou, but also the refugee camp outside Changyuan City were sent to guard, and those who kneeled in front of the government yamen were severely punished.

In the end, Shen Nantian said: "Your Majesty has ordered to raise food and silver taels again, and it should be sent to Yuzhou in three days."
