The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

After they stood up, Gu Yuzhicai looked at He Jiarui again, his face full of regret.

It seems that the situation in Quanzhou really won't be known until Guard Qi comes back.

Starting from Governor He, everyone reported what happened during this period one by one, focusing on the affairs of Li Ji Trading Company.

Finally, it was Huang Yanzhang, the governor of Gyeongju: "The former governor of Gyeongju has been arrested and brought to justice. Due to the seriousness of the crime he committed, Governor He sent someone to escort him to the capital for interrogation by the Criminal Department."

Gu Yuzhi let out a wow, his eyes full of surprise.

Yesterday, he was still thinking that the bad guy should be imprisoned in a sky jail, but today he found out that he was really taken to the capital.

He held his face in his hands, swayed his happy little feet back and forth, and shouted happily: "Teacher Shu, Teacher Shu, don't you and I have a good understanding of each other?"

He chuckled and used words randomly: "This is called telepathy!"

Shu Xiaohan...

"My young prince, this word is inappropriate for you and the emperor."

Gu Yuzhi looked puzzled: "Why?"

Doesn’t this mean there is a tacit understanding?

He didn't even tell the emperor brother, but the emperor took the person back. Isn't this a tacit understanding?

"You can use the word tacit understanding, but tacit understanding is mostly used for lovers, such as the queen and the emperor. You can use it this way."

Gu Yuzhi nodded with a vague understanding, and then asked curiously: "What is a lover?"

Shu Xiaohan scratched her head vigorously, and when she looked up, she saw Wen Xiuzhu covering half of his face with a fan, smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

She sighed helplessly and looked up at the non-existent sky.

It is said that children have a hundred thousand reasons, but she has very little time to take care of children, so she has never had this kind of experience. At this moment...

Seeing Gu Yuzhi blinking his eyes and looking full of curiosity, she said helplessly: "My young prince, now is not the time to be curious about these things. Look, the Qingzhou prefect is still waiting to talk to you."

Gu Yuzhi said oh twice in succession, his eyes wandering with guilt, he had no idea what the prefect of Qingzhou just said.

Xie Changshi had long been accustomed to him being like this, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the prefect of Qingzhou is here to intercede on behalf of Qingzhou."

"Ah?" Gu Yuzhi asked doubtfully, "Intercede for Qingzhou?"

He scratched his head and said, "What's the matter?"

Could it be that he was interceding on behalf of the big bad guy?

No way?

Huang Yanzhang saw the puzzled look on his face, knelt down again, and explained in a low voice: "Your Highness, I only found out after I arrived in Qingzhou that Qingzhou was severely exploited by the former prefect, and the people of Qingzhou were in dire straits. I sincerely ask your Highness to help." Help Gyeongju.”

People are in dire straits?

Gu Yuzhi felt that since he could remember, he had never heard of a place where people were in dire straits.

Even during the previous floods in the south of the Yangtze River, Xie Changshi and the others never said that the people in the south of the Yangtze River were in dire straits.

What did the governor of Gyeongju do to Gyeongju before?

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face. If he had known earlier, he should not have let Xue Ye scare the Qingzhou Magistrate's legs off last time. He should have brought him back and asked Guard Zhang to interrogate him. He would definitely know what the Qingzhou Magistrate did. What a bad thing! He clenched his fists and said, "Has his mansion been searched? All the things he confiscated have been confiscated!"

Huang Yanzhang shook his head slightly: "This man is very smart. He knew that he would not be able to hide his broken leg for a long time, so he transferred all his property early."

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then whispered: "I found an account book in his mansion. The amount of money in it is huge, and it is sent to one place almost every month."

He shook his head slightly and continued: "Unfortunately, this account book only states the amount and date. It does not indicate who the recipient is, nor does it indicate how it was sent away."

A person suddenly appeared in Gu Yuzhi's mind, Brother Chu Wang!

As for what way...

Gu Yuzhi scratched his head and glanced at Huang Yanzhang: "There is also a Li Ji Escort Agency in Qingzhou, right?"

Huang Yanzhang's eyes lit up, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yuzhi was filled with surprise and surprise.

The first thing he did after taking office was to conduct a thorough investigation of the previous prefect. This ledger troubled him for a long time.

It wasn't until news came from Changzhou that all state capitals were required to completely seal Li Ji Trading Company that Huang Yanzhang took action against Li Ji Trading Company.

It was at this time that he discovered that in the account books of the Li Ji Escort Bureau's branch in Gyeongju, a heavy escort would be received on the same day every month. This heavy escort did not indicate who the employer was or who the recipient was. A rough location was marked, Jiangnan.

Huang Yanzhang had investigated the situation in Mobei before coming to Mobei, and probably knew something about the relationship between Li Ji Trading Company and the King of Chu. Therefore, when he searched the account book from the former magistrate's residence, his first reaction was also, All these things were sent to the Chu Palace.

He has always wanted to find definite evidence, at least to prove that King Chu accepted bribes, but who knew that Li Ji Escort's account books could be so vague!

Huang Yanzhang had no choice but to have these evidences sent to the capital together with the former prefect, so that the people in the Ministry of Punishment would have a headache.

But he didn't expect that just after he mentioned this vague whole situation, His Highness would think of Li Ji Escort Agency!

Huang Yanzhang suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, and after a while he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Highness is wise, there is also a Li Ji Escort Bureau branch in Qingzhou, and the scale is not very big. When I checked the Escort Bureau, I found that one of the accounts of the Escort Bureau was indeed Match this ledger."

Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up: "The escort agency's account book always states where the escort went and who received it, right?"

Huang Yanzhang slowly shook his head: "No, there is only a general information, Jiangnan."

As soon as the word "Jiangnan" came out, the private room instantly became quiet.

Gu Yuzhi's face turned red with anger. He glanced at the table and thought for a while but still didn't hit it. He was afraid of the pain!

However, this thought passed away in an instant, and it was more of confusion and hatred towards Brother Chu Wang.

Obviously the fiefdom of King Chu's brother is the richest!

He is already so rich, why does he still need to plunder people's money? Let the people of Gyeongju live in poverty?

Gu Yuzhi could not imagine what the life of the people of Qingzhou was like these years, so Huang Yanzhang could use these four words to describe it.

He held his chin with his hands, and the corners of his eyes drooped.

Huang Yanzhang continued: "Your Highness, I would like to ask you to write to the Emperor to reduce or exempt Qingzhou's taxes for three years. At the same time, I also want to..."

He licked his lips and looked particularly embarrassed and said, "I also want to lend some salt and grain on credit in the name of the Gyeongju Prefecture's Yamen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yanzhang noticed that his face was on fire, and he lowered his head in utter embarrassment.

And Gu Yuzhi's eyes widened in disbelief...
