A bold son-in-law doting on his concubine and destroying his wife?The ashes are scattered!

Chapter 242 Of course he is wrong, is she completely right?

The prince felt his face burning.

He did know that Tianhai City could pay the top five agricultural taxes every year, but for some reason, he subconsciously forgot about it.

At this moment, listening to Leng Lanzhi's sonorous and powerful questioning words, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

They are brother and sister, and he should help her, but why does he always do things to make her unhappy during this time?
Such doubts remained unanswered until he returned to the Prince's Mansion.

A figure came up to him: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince looked up, his expression relaxed a lot: "Miss Qiu."

Miss Qiu slowly stepped forward with a delicate smile on her smart face. When she got closer, her smile gradually faded. She asked with worry on her face: "Your Highness, your face doesn't look good. Did something happen?"

The prince originally wanted to say something, but he hesitated when he thought that Leng Lanzhi and Miss Qiu would not deal with them.

Seeing his hesitation, a strange look flashed in Miss Qiu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and she asked softly: "Your Highness?"

The prince subconsciously raised his head and looked into her eyes, and suddenly realized that her eyes were so beautiful. They seemed to be filled with stars and rivers in the sky. They were beautiful and dreamy, making people wish they could hold all the most beautiful things in the world in front of her.

Miss Qiu noticed his absence and asked softly again with a smile: "Your Highness, what happened?"

The prince said: "Today's court meeting..."

Not long after, the prince told Leng Lanzhi's performance at the court meeting and the guilt in his heart.

After saying that, his expression returned to normal, but he didn't think much about it.

Although what happened last time happened, in his heart, Miss Qiu was a good person, and he always felt that there was a misunderstanding about what happened last time.

Miss Qiu helped him a lot. Half of his current reputation among the people was accumulated by Miss Qiu. Miss Qiu was no less kind to him than Jia Luo.

He had a special liking for her.

More than AUO, not enough lovers.

So he would be willing to tell her his thoughts.

He sighed: "Jialuo and I used to have a good relationship, but I don't know what's going on recently. I always feel that we are getting further and further apart..."

Miss Qiu's eyes were full of guilt: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, the princess wouldn't be separated from the prince."

The prince shook his head: "I don't blame you."

Miss Qiu sighed: "The prince is so kind to the princess. Having a brother like you is such a blessing. If you were my brother, I would not let you down in public."

The prince was startled.

If you think about it carefully, during this period, Jia Luo often made it difficult for him to get off the stage.

Although he was indeed wrong, was Jia Luo really right in everything?

He is a dignified prince of a country. Not only did he say a few words to her because of a misunderstanding, but there was no misunderstanding. So what if he deliberately reprimanded her?
As his sister and minister, she was disrespectful to his brother, the prince. This was clearly her fault!

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away.

There was an isolated island more than ten nautical miles away from Tianhai City. The island was supposed to be deserted, but instead it was surrounded by official ships.

Not long after, rows of officers and soldiers came down from the island. Each officer and soldier was supporting, holding or carrying someone.

These people who were being supported, held, and carried were in ragged clothes, had sallow complexions, and were extremely thin.

Li Changlin looked at the people who had been rescued from the island, and his face darkened: "These bastards from the Sea Kingdom actually kidnapped all the people of our Sheng Kingdom to this island! Fortunately, the princess had the foresight and ordered people to keep an eye on the sea. The country's trends, otherwise the lives of these people will be in danger."

Just at this time, an officer and soldier passed by carrying a thin little girl. The girl's drooping fingers moved slightly and her eyelids trembled slightly.

After a while, she opened her eyes.

"Master's calculation is correct. My chance of survival is indeed in Tianhai City! Tianhai City...Princess Jialuo?" Wei Wei did a quick calculation and was filled with shock.

Oops!

The princess is in danger!

"Xiao Hui, come here! Hey, hey, hey..."

In the plum blossom forest outside the city, two people and a dog were chasing and playing in the forest.

Leng Lanzhi was sitting in the pavilion outside the forest, listening to the laughter in the forest, his lips curled up slightly, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.

Liusha also relaxed: "Princess adopting Xiao Hui is really the most correct decision!"

That little gray dog ​​is very clever. No matter who it sees, it will wag its tail and ask for a pet, but it does not stick to people like many over-enthusiastic dogs.

Moreover, despite its gray fur, it looks very festive, and the way it wags its tail desperately is very endearing.

Both children and adults like it very much. Even the Queen has captured the heart of it and wants to keep it in the palace.

Suddenly, Leng Lanzhi stopped smiling, and Liusha also turned to look.

Seeing the visitor, she spontaneously left the pavilion, carrying two glasses of water to feed the two children.

The person coming was Ying Shahai, the person sent by Leng Lanzhi to investigate Miss Qiu.

In fact, it is not difficult to check Miss Qiu's identity. After all, Leng Lanzhi already knows her appearance. He only needs to find someone based on their appearance. As long as the person is from Shengjing, it will not be difficult to find clues.

Miss Qiu's real name is Qiu Wenwen, and she is the daughter of a wealthy businessman named Qiu.

This wealthy businessman surnamed Qiu had a good reputation in Beijing and was known as a good person. Miss Qiu often went out to give porridge herself to provide disaster relief in winter.

But not long ago, the Qiu family was suddenly raided, and the charges included land occupation, intentional homicide, illegal imprisonment, etc.

There is more than one crime, and each one is a capital offense.

In the secret room of the Qiu family that was discovered, there were many corpses of young women hidden. After investigation by the Ministry of Punishments, it was found that these women had been violated, abused and tortured during their lifetimes.

Later, Qiu's father admitted that he used his status as a "good man" to lure many poor people to come to his porridge shed to drink porridge.

If there were young and strong men, he would capture them and send them to his own black kiln to carry bricks.

As for young and beautiful women, he imprisoned them for his own pleasure.

In addition, he would also take advantage of the fact that most of the people were illiterate and lure them into signing unequal contracts in order to seize their fields.

Investigations show that at least dozens of families have been displaced because their fields were occupied, and they have turned from good citizens into refugees.

Although many people would choose to file a complaint, Qiu's father took precautions early in the morning. Those people who wanted to file a complaint often had "accidents" before they arrived at the Yamen, making the already miserable family even worse.

The crime is clear and heinous.

After the Ministry of Punishment verified these crimes, Qiu's father was executed.

All the ill-gotten gains obtained by the Qiu family were also confiscated, and all the Qiu family's shops were sealed.

There is no joint sitting system in this dynasty. Except for some crimes that will implicate the nine clans, ordinary people's crimes will not implicate their families.

Therefore, after the government verified that the Qiu family was not involved in these criminal acts, it did not deal with other members of the Qiu family.

"So, Qiu Wenwen is the daughter of this wealthy businessman named Qiu, but why did she deliberately get close to the emperor's brother?"

This is the difficulty encountered by those responsible for investigating Qiu Wenwen.

The Qiu family will be raided, and Qiu's father will be questioned and beheaded. It is all Qiu's father's fault, not Leng Lanzhi's fault.
