After rebirth, the prince and husband's personality collapsed

Chapter 180 Mr. Zhang is an honest official

He spoke with an extremely sincere tone, as if he was kept in the dark. Shen Yunchu knew that this was just a trick, so she took advantage of it and said with a smile: "Sir, please tell me."

Zhang Zhouyi hesitated for a moment and then said: "The thing is like this. As soon as I arrived in Lizhou yesterday, I heard people say that the magistrate of Lizhou actually bent the law for personal gain and set up some... um... beauty tax and increased the local official tax. Is this true? About this?"

Shen Yunchu looked at him, and nodded slightly in his nervous and confused eyes: "What your Excellency heard is not a rumor. The magistrate has dismissed Wu Yong, the magistrate of Lizhou, pending investigation, and has written to His Majesty to explain the matter." , waiting for His Majesty’s decision.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhouyi immediately slapped his legs, frowned, and angrily shouted: "This bastard! You really have fulfilled his damned name, Wu Yong is useless! Just do such bastard things!"

Listening to his indignant tone, Shen Yunchu didn't answer, but calmly picked up the tea, lowered his eyes slightly, and avoided his peripheral vision, feeling funny in his heart.

After a long silence, seeing that Shen Yunchu didn't take the bait, Zhang Zhouyi's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness, and then it disappeared briefly, but it did not escape Bai Yuheng's eyes, who also darkened his eyes.

Then, Zhang Zhouyi paused slightly and continued: "But Wu Yong is really simple-minded and has no thoughts. He may have been taken advantage of. In my opinion, there must be something fishy about this matter. What do you think, my little niece?"

She didn't take advantage of the trap, so Zhang Zhouyi could only explore the air first. When Shen Yunchu heard the words, he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. She put down the teacup, thoughtfully, pretending to be solemn, and said: "What exactly is this matter?" His fault is that someone deliberately deceived him. I think everything will come to light when His Majesty's thorough investigation documents come out. What you and I say now may not be the truth."

"Furthermore, as a local official, Wu Yong, even if he was deceived by others, is he not at fault? As a parent official, he should always consider the people."

"The people are the foundation of the country. I think Wu Yong also studied hard for decades before he could reach his official career today. Not only is he familiar with ancient and modern times, he at least has read a few books by sages. If he doesn't understand such a simple truth, how can he still do it? If you can be deceived by that kind of thing and join in the dirty things, then have you really read the books of sages and sages in the past few decades?"

When she said this, she smiled and even spoke in a gentle tone, so that no one could hear the slightest hint of sarcasm, as if she had never doubted Zhang Zhouyi and this matter.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wu Yong, with his belly of fat and his chin lifted up to the sky, could not be someone who has studied hard for decades. The official position was bought by his family through begging Zhang Zhouyi.

Shen Yunchu's words were harsh, and they were just like scolding Zhang Zhouyi in secret, but they left the guilty person unable to find any reason to refute.

Zhang Zhouyi's face immediately darkened, and after all the smile on his face could no longer be maintained, and he could no longer even pretend to be kind on the surface.

Shen Yunchu curled his lips, picked up the teapot on the side, poured a cup of tea for Zhang Zhouyi himself, and said, "I heard that Wu Yong is Mr. Zhang's nephew."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhouyi's face became even more ugly. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. It was neither admitting nor denying.

However, Shen Yunchu just glanced at him, paused slightly, and then continued: "But I think Mr. Zhang is an upright and honest official and is deeply loved by the people. He cannot do such a shameful thing. He is a low-ranking official with little talent and little knowledge. This matter You need more help from adults."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhouyi forced out a smile, which was a bit ugly, but he still tried hard to maintain his image, but he only responded vaguely: "Of course, of course."

Then he raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Yuheng, who was sitting beside him without saying a word. The ugly smile on his face became unbearable for a moment, and he immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

After only a moment of silence, he slowly stood up and said, "It's already getting late, and I should go back. I still have a lot of official business to deal with, so I'll take the time to come out and take a look." Seeing this, Shen Yunchu also quickly stood up to greet him. But before he followed a few steps, Zhang Zhouyi waved his hand to stop him: "Master Shen, stay here, there is no need to see him off, go ahead and do your business."

"Good go, Mr. Zhang." Shen Yunchu smiled slightly and nodded to see him off. It wasn't until he walked out of the tent that Shen Yunchu put away the smile on his face.

After waiting for a while, Shen Yunchu turned around and went in. Sitting in the camp drinking tea, he heard Bai Yuheng chuckle and said, "Do you know why he came to see you today?"

"Tan Kou Feng is ready to overturn the verdict." Shen Yunchu held the tea bowl without even raising his eyelids. When he said this, his tone was light and airy.

Bai Yuheng chuckled lightly, her inner voice arriving before her words came out: "My wife is so smart, I didn't realize it before, and she is actually made to be an official."

Shen Yunchu's hand scraping the tea foam paused slightly, he raised his eyes to look at him with some dissatisfaction, shook his head helplessly, and listened to him again: "Then what are you going to do next? Do you need my help?"

Shen Yunchu didn't answer, but looked at him hesitantly. He was smiling and his eyes were full of doting. After thinking about it, she said: "They will definitely destroy the evidence left behind before they reverse the case. I need to find those evidence."

Bai Yuheng nodded thoughtfully: "How to say."

Shen Yunchu thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and responded: "As for the beauty tax, as far as I know, half of the girls who were previously taxed have disappeared. I think that if those girls can be found, they will be able to prevent them from overturning the case. "

"Furthermore, regarding the local government tax, they have collected so much privately. It is certain that no one person will eat it all. They will definitely divide the spoils. In order to avoid disputes afterwards, there must be an account book. As long as they can find that With the ledger, the case is self-defeating."

Listening to her words to adjust Qingming, Bai Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These are all tricky jobs."

He looked at her, with an unknown smile in his eyes. Shen Yunchu's eyes darkened, and he was about to refute him: Didn't you ask me to say that?

Before the words were spoken, she heard Bai Yuheng's cheerful voice: "Let me just say that my wife trusts me the most. Leave such important things to me."

"She must like me, otherwise why would she let me do it instead of letting others do it?"

"She must like me, I'm so damn charming."

Shen Yunchu: "..."

She admitted that looking at the whole of Sheng'an, Bai Yuheng was definitely an outstanding being. As for whether he was charming or not, he would definitely be able to charm thousands of girls.

But although this kind of thing is obvious, it still feels different when he says it himself. Shen Yunchu sighed helplessly, when did this inner voice end?

Sometimes she often didn't want to hear him make a mistake, but sometimes she wondered if she really lost this ability, wouldn't she be able to hear Kochiyi's voice as well, so she still felt a little reluctant in her heart.
