The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 98 Pei Yuanqi’s Impeachment

"I didn't say anything," Pei Yuanqi wiped away his tears and said firmly: "The girl just said something about popcorn, I want to try it."

Zheng Qiuyun licked his lips, trying to look at him without smiling, "Wait, I'll get it for you."

Pei Yuanqi picked up a piece of popcorn, put it in his mouth, and bit it hard. It felt sweet.

Zheng Qiuyun's eyes were on his lips. He had just held a popcorn in his mouth and slowly put it into his mouth.He puffed his cheeks and slid his Adam's apple. He finished the popcorn, but there was still a little residue on his lips.

Zheng Qiuyun looked at him and licked his lips again, but the residue was gone.His lips were crystal clear and soft, looking like jelly.

Zheng Qiuyun held his hand under the table tightly and then released it before he restrained himself from "bullying" him.

Pei Yuanqi asked again: "Miss Zheng, I came in a hurry, I wonder if I can stay with you temporarily?"

"Okay, there are other rooms in Sinong Temple. You can stay in them after cleaning them."

Pei Yuanqi's cheeks bulged, he said nothing and went to clean up his room obediently.Zheng Qiuyun brought him a quilt and placed it on his cleaned bed.

Pei Yuanqi leaned against the doorframe and said, "Miss Zheng, the moon is dark and the wind is high. I'm a little afraid of ghosts."

Zheng Qiuyun was laughed at by him, "Pei Yuanqi, let alone Mobei, how many people have you killed in the battle of Linjiang, and now you say you are afraid of ghosts?"

Pei Yuanqi picked at the crack of the door, "I have killed so many people, so I am afraid that they will come to me in the middle of the night and demand my life."

"Okay," Zheng Qiuyun looked at him with a smile, looking helpless, "Then how can you not be afraid?"

Pei Yuanqi whispered: "We used to live very close to each other, but these two rooms are too far apart."

"Come in." Zheng Qiuyun opened the door to his room, and Pei Yuanqi followed behind holding the quilt.After coming in, he made a mat on the ground very obediently.

"Thank you, Miss Zheng."

Zheng Qiuyun's bed had a curtain and a screen between the two of them, so she was naturally not afraid of what Pei Yuanqi would see.Zheng Qiuyun had a good night's sleep, and Pei Yuanqi slept soundly thinking of Zheng Qiuyun lying next to him.

Early the next morning, Zheng Qiuyun saw the letter he put on the table as soon as he got up. "Thank you for taking me in, girl. I've left breakfast for you in the pot. See you in the capital."

Zheng Qiuyun smiled and put it away, and went to the kitchen to see that the soup he had cooked was in the pot, and the buns he had tightly covered were on the table.This steamed bun looks no different from Qingzhou's Wangji steamed bun.I think he got up early and went over to buy it.

After Zheng Qiuyun inspected the corn harvest, he wanted to continue to visit the perfume workshop in charge of Zhao Huizhen.The workshop was filled with the fragrance of various flowers. Zheng Qiuyun only stayed for a while and then hurried out. Chu Lian looked at her worriedly while holding his sword.

"I'm fine," Zheng Qiuyun waved his hand, "But you led 500 people to train, but is there anyone who refuses to accept it?"

Chu Lian said succinctly and comprehensively: "Yes."

"Then how did you solve it?"

Chu Lian said matter-of-factly: "If he doesn't accept it, I'll beat him to it."

Zheng Qiuyun couldn't laugh or cry, "Although the Holy One only allows me to raise five hundred guards, if the people in the workshop are willing to learn, you can also teach them self-defense techniques."

Chu Lian asked: "Will there be another battle to fight in the future?"

Zheng Qiuyun said: "I don't know, it's always right for them to practice martial arts to keep fit." In the book, the eldest prince will also initiate palace coups, which probably won't affect this place, but we must take precautions before they happen.

Chu Lian nodded in agreement, "I have also read the military book you gave me. If there is still war, I will protect you."

She looked serious, and Zheng Qiuyun was a little moved, "We all want to be well."

The governors of Qingzhou and Jiangzhou received secret orders and each bought a hundred acres of cornfield and sent people to harvest it overnight.Qingzhou harvested [-] jins per mu of land, and Jiangzhou’s corn harvest totaled [-] jins per mu.They reported the news to the Holy Emperor, which caused heated discussion in the court.

Shangshu Youcheng said: "Zheng Qiuyun swore that corn could produce one thousand catties per mu. How come Jiangzhou only harvested seven hundred catties of corn."

Censor Zhongcheng retorted: "Shang Shu Youcheng is so loud. What does it mean to harvest only [-] jins? Looking at the whole Daxuan, you can find crops with an yield of [-] jins per mu? Even Qingzhou wheat, which has the most harvest, has no To seven hundred pounds."

The Minister of Finance said: "The Holy One once said that if the new crop does not yield a thousand catties per mu, Zheng Qiuyun will be severely punished. I think that you are not joking, so I also asked the Holy One to put Zheng Qiuyun in prison."

"Ahem." Pei Yuanqi put his hand to his lips and coughed.

The Minister of Finance looked at him in surprise. Seeing that Pei Yuanqi didn't speak, he continued, "A woman who confuses people with such evil words should be executed."

The admonishing doctor said loudly: "Your Majesty, the yield of corn can reach [-] kilograms per mu, which is my great blessing. How can I execute a meritorious minister?"

Pei Yuanqi came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

The Holy One motioned to him and said.

Everyone thought he was going to express his opinions on the corn matter, but Pei Yuanqi directly impeached the Minister of Finance, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Finance has taken bribes and violated the law. The evidence is conclusive. I believe that such a vicious person should be executed."

The eunuch took the evidence from Pei Yuanqi and presented it to the Holy Emperor.The minister, the minister, knelt on the ground and cried out that he had been wronged, with cold sweat pouring from his face.The civil and military officials in the court were hesitant and hesitant, which might make them angry.

Pei Yuanqi added: "Shang Shu You Cheng..."

"Ah?" Before he could finish speaking, Shangshu Youcheng knelt down as soon as he heard it, "Your Majesty, I have tried my best and have done nothing illegal."

Pei Yuanqi continued: "Shang Shu Youcheng is right. How come the corn harvest in Jiangzhou is only [-] catties? It's the same land, why can Qingzhou harvest [-] catties. Did someone swallow the corn, or did he deliberately frame Zheng Si? Nong. I am bold and ask your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Shangshu Youcheng slumped over and was almost frightened to death.

The Holy Spirit thought that what he said was reasonable and sent someone to find out.This matter is easy to investigate. The governor of Qingzhou is a member of the second prince, and he specially found fertile land.The governor of Jiangzhou was a member of the eldest prince, and he found a piece of barren land. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with the land, but when he dug down, he found a lot of stones.

After the results came out, some officials ridiculed: "If such land can produce [-] kilograms per mu, I think Zheng Sinong is really capable."

The Holy Emperor was furious, and the minister, the Secretary, had indeed embezzled money. After finding out, he was beheaded.He also ordered Pei Yuanqi to thoroughly investigate the officials in the court, and severely punish those who were corrupt, violated the law, formed cliques, and formed cliques for personal gain.

In this way, the eldest prince was equivalent to having his limbs cut off, and the second prince's vitality was also severely damaged.

There are many more vacancies in the DPRK and there are major personnel changes.Zheng Wenping and Zheng Wuan originally had merit, but now they can pick up the merits after becoming the top scholar in high school.According to Li Siping's information, Zheng Wenping should be the sixth-rank magistrate of Xuanzhou, and Zheng Wu'an can be the fifth-rank captain of the cavalry, but the emperor has not made a decision yet.

After the people harvested the corn, Zheng Qiuyun went to Beijing again with a thousand kilograms of corn according to the Holy Spirit's instructions.The people who greeted her at this time were not only the eldest prince who was eyeing her with eagerness, but also the second prince who was deliberately wooing her.There are also the eagerly awaited Pei Yuanqi, Zheng Wenping and Zheng Wuan who were named on the gold list.
