"It's not easy to go out on errands." Wei Shi replied neither soft nor hard.

Concubine Hui glanced at her, lowered her eyes and said, "Being able to have errands to do can be regarded as being favored by the Long Live Lord. My brothers are still young, so we should practice more."

It would be even worse to be like Concubine Rong's son who has no errands and spends all day in elder brother's house.

"Your Majesty said so." Wei Shi nodded in agreement.

Concubine Hui didn't get any more information, so she didn't really want to talk to Wei Shi, so she said, "Okay, I'm tired, so you can go back and rest. I hope the errands will go smoothly."

"The servant girl will leave first." Wei stood up and said goodbye.

Concubine Hui nodded, and let the maid beside her help her into the inner room.

Wei Shi returned to his side hall, knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva, and began to pray for Ba Ye.

In Jinan Prefecture, the prince and Baye are secretly collecting evidence that local officials colluded with grain merchants to transfer official grain and embezzle disaster relief money.

Seeing the prince's positive attitude, Ba Ye felt a little puzzled.Could it be that this incident has nothing to do with the prince?But why did the prince not let him investigate further when he was in Zibo County, but came directly to Jinan Mansion?

Maybe someone else was involved?Or in other words, this matter was only done by local officials, and no one else was involved?
Since he had doubts, Ba Ye himself kept a hand and secretly checked out some suspicious things he thought.

The two of them didn't go to meet the governor as planned, just because the crown prince said that since they had made a fuss, they simply let the governor guess.They didn't show up at this time, but it made him flustered.

Ba Ye didn't comment, but only listened to the prince's orders.

Unexpectedly, two days later, the governor of SD came to the door by himself.

"I see the crown prince, eighth master."

"The governor is very well informed." The prince smiled faintly.

"Where is it? If I had been well informed, I wouldn't have come to see you just now." The governor smiled kindly.

The prince cursed in his heart, old fox!On the face, he still smiled and said: "Gu Ke and my eighth brother have a look at the disaster situation and disaster relief situation. I originally planned to go to your place in two days. I didn't expect you to come here first."

"Since I have heard the news, I will naturally come to cleanse the crown prince and the eighth master."

"That's not necessary. We have not been here for a short time." The prince said: "Since the governor is here, let me tell you about the current situation in your SD province. I don't think the prefect of Jinan said much. Right."

The face of the prefect of Jinan who was waiting on the side changed.

Of course he knew that it aroused the suspicion of these two masters.But I also asked myself that I didn't let the two of them grasp anything.

Governor SD took a look, then smiled and said: "I believe that what he said is the truth. I won't repeat it."

The crown prince narrowed his eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "The governor trusts your subordinates very much."

Governor SD smiled, as a default.

Ba Ye sneered in his heart.Everyone is stubborn, do you really think things are done cleanly?
It was ten days after Kangxi received the report from the Prince and the Eighth Master.

In the report, all SD local officials, from the governor to the prefect to the county magistrate, tampered with the relief money and took the opportunity to transfer the official food to the grain merchants in exchange for the evidence.

When leaving Beijing, Kangxi only asked the prince and Ba Ye to investigate secretly, and did not give them the right to deal with it on the spot.

Therefore, although the report of the prince and the eighth master entered Beijing, they did not take any action, but continued to deal with it.

The Crown Prince and Ba Ye did not act until Kangxi issued an order.

The SD officialdom was shaken. From the governor to the county magistrate, 30 officials, large and small, were involved, as well as more than a dozen grain merchants.

All the embezzled silver grains were confiscated and used for disaster relief in SD Province.

The people clapped their hands and applauded. After the identities of the crown prince and the eighth master were revealed, they were immediately praised by the people!

When the two returned to Beijing after dealing with all the matters, they even missed the gold awarding festival.

"My son, see Huang Ama!"

The prince and Ba Ye returned to Kangxi in Qianqing Palace.

"You have worked hard all the way. Things are going well, and I am very relieved." Kangxi said, "Get up and talk."

When he received the memorial, he was so angry that he threw the memorial directly in the hall.

Corruption in officialdom has always existed.It's not that he doesn't know.But at a time when the common people are suffering, the entire SD officialdom is colluding to make money in distress. This is something he cannot tolerate!

Beheaded, ransacked, sent to prison!This time, he didn't show mercy at all.Not only for punishment, but also for warning!
"Share the worries of Huang Ama, my son will not work hard." The prince and the eighth master said at the same time.

"I suspected something would happen at the beginning, but I didn't expect that all SD officials would be black-hearted!" Kangxi gritted his teeth angrily when he said this.

"People's hearts are greedy. If there is one, there are two. You drag me into the water, and I drag you into the water. In the end, everyone is drowned, and there will be no clean people." The prince sighed.

"Huang Ama, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get angry because of these corrupt officials! It's a blessing to find them as soon as possible." Ba Ye comforted.

"Yes, Huang Ama! Although most people chose to join forces with others, there are still some people who can stand firm." The prince said, and then reported the names of several officials.

"Are these people not involved?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows.

"Yes. Not only did he not participate, but he also helped us a lot during this unannounced visit." The prince said.

"It's also because they didn't participate that they were excluded very much. They were not reused before." Ba Ye added.

Kangxi nodded, "I know it well, and I will promote them." Then, he looked at the crown prince and the eighth master, saw that they were thin, and said: "You have worked hard for these two months. I will reward you later. Now, you all go back and rest quickly. I will give you three days off."

"My son, thank you Huang Ama!" The two said in unison again.

After coming out of Qianqing Palace, the two bid farewell, one went back to Yuqing Palace, and the other went back to elder brother's place.

In Elder Brother's office, Mao Tongtong has already got the news.

When the eighth master returned to the emperor in Qianqing palace, Chen Guo had already returned to elder brother's place first.

"Gege, hurry up and get ready. When the master comes back, I will definitely come to you first." Qing Zhu and Qing Miao were both happy, and they were busy dressing up Mao Tongtong.

"I don't have anything to prepare. It's a top priority for you to get someone to prepare hot water. When the master comes back, he must take a shower and change clothes." Mao Tongtong said.

"Don't worry, Gege, you don't need to be ordered by your servant, Eunuch Chen has already said it." Qingzhu laughed.

Mao Tongtong nodded, then obediently sat down in front of the dressing table, and let Qingzhu comb her hair again.

When Ba Ye entered elder brother's place, he saw Mao Tongtong in a pink jacket standing at the gate of the courtyard to welcome him, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
