The Evil King's Pampered Wife: The Concubine of the Divine Doctor

Chapter 78 The Mysterious Man in the Dungeon
Yan Ruobing nodded, "But there is no evidence yet. When I find clues, I can naturally find out the real culprit!"

Yan Ruobing and Yan Ruoyu chatted for a while, and she learned from Yan Ruoyu what kind of shape that sachet was and what was special about it.

After finishing speaking, Yan Ruobing turned and left.

When turning the corner, she suddenly saw an acquaintance, that is the bandit leader who had arrested her before.

Yan Ruobing did not expect that Huangfu Ao would keep him locked in this dungeon.

The hair on the bandit's head was messy, the clothes on his body were torn, and there were wounds all over his body, big and small, he must have been tortured many times.

Yan Ruobing looked down on such inhuman bandits who trafficked young girls, and even wished to cut them into pieces.

She originally thought that Huangfu Ao had executed all of these people long ago, but she didn't expect that one of them was still alive and imprisoned here.

Out of curiosity, Yan Ruobing stopped, and stood at the door and shouted to the person inside: "Hey! Are you dead? After doing so many evil things, you are lucky to be alive to this day!"

Hearing the sound, the bandit slowly raised his head, and was slightly surprised when he saw Yan Ruobing's face.

"It's you? Who are you from Huangfuao? You can even enter a dungeon?"

The man's voice was a little hoarse, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. Yan Ruobing didn't know why he asked that question, but he returned to his question, "I'm Princess Zheng, do you think I can come here?"

"Concubine Zheng? Hahahaha...Huangfuao is really a good trick! For his own conspiracy, he didn't hesitate to use his wife as a tool!"

The man suddenly laughed wildly, and what he said made Yan Ruobing even more strange.

Just when Yan Ruobing wanted to continue questioning, two guards ran over and beat the man severely.

"What are you yelling! You scared the concubine, be careful to kill your dog!"

One of the maids beat the man while yelling at the man, while the other guard ran to Yan Ruobing's side and persuaded: "Princess, it's almost time, my subordinates will take you out!"

Yan Ruobing didn't pay attention to the guard, but directly asked the bandit man, "Hey! What do you mean by what you just said? Tell me clearly!"

Afterwards, no matter how Yan Ruobing asked, or even threatened, it didn't work. The man didn't say a word.

Leaving the dungeon with regrets and doubts, Yan Ruobing couldn't calm down no matter what.

It was Huangfu Ao who rescued her from the bandits back then, how could she become Huangfu Ao's exploit again?

And what was the conspiracy that man was talking about?What is Huangfu Ao planning secretly?
Yan Ruobing was so lost in thought while walking that she didn't even see Huangfu Ao walking towards him, and bumped her head directly into Huangfu Ao's chest.

"What are you doing? You walk so carelessly!"

Being bumped head-on by Yan Ruobing hurt a little, Huangfu Ao said slightly angrily.

"No...it's okay, my lord, where are you going?"

Seeing Huangfu Ao in plain clothes, Yan Ruobing couldn't help asking in doubt.

"This king came back from outside just now! Look at what you are thinking about so preoccupied that you didn't even notice that you were walking in the wrong direction!"

After being reminded by Huangfu Ao, Yan Ruobing realized that she was actually walking towards the gate of the palace.

"Ah! Where did the prince go? Why did you come back now?"

Yan Ruobing felt embarrassed when she realized that she had gone the wrong way.Looking at the sky, it was almost noon, Huangfu Ao came back from outside at this time, it was indeed a little later than usual.

"Didn't you want to investigate Lingkui's matter? This king has already found out!"

"Really! How wonderful! How did it turn out?"

Yan Ruobing became excited immediately, she didn't expect that Huangfu Ao went out so soon because of this matter.

At first, Huangfu Ao promised to give her the result within two days, but he didn't expect to find out after only one day.

"Go back to the study with the king and talk, things are a bit troublesome."

Huangfu Ao said and walked in front, Yan Ruobing hurriedly followed.The fact that things were troublesome meant that Huangfu Ao must have found out something important.

Coming to the study, Yan Ruobing personally poured Huangfu Ao a cup of tea, and then continued to ask: "My lord, how is the situation, can we talk about it now."

Huangfuao rested for a while before saying: "Half a year ago, a disaster occurred in Yinchuan, and the emperor ordered me to go to the disaster relief. At that time, because I was delayed by something, I ordered people to send the food to the disaster area in advance."

"As soon as the food arrived in the disaster area, it was frantically robbed by the hungry people, and this Lin Kui was one of them."

What Huangfu Ao said was almost the same as what Xueer said, so Yan Ruobing didn't interrupt, just nodded and waited for the next step.

"Lin Kui was arrested like other disaster victims, but later he took the lead in making trouble, so he was beheaded by the guards for public display!"

What Huangfu Ao said was very simple, Yan Ruobing was a little confused, but felt that the matter was not so simple, so he asked: "Take the lead in making trouble? How could he take the lead in making trouble?"

"This is also related to another case. At that time, the king was only concerned with alleviating the disaster and did not investigate other matters. It turned out that a rice store in Yinchuan deliberately monopolized the market and raised prices so that many people could not buy it even if they had money. To eat. Only some rich children have something to eat, so many people in Yinchuan starved to death at that time. Lin Kui just saw the profiteers of the rice shop and thought that we were in collusion with the government and businessmen, so he took the lead in rebelling and making trouble, and was finally killed by the guards Beheaded for public display, and things were suppressed like this.”

Huangfu Ao explained clearly again, he seemed very guilty, he didn't investigate more clearly at that time, so that he killed so many people.

"Then you mean that you didn't know the situation at the time?"

Huangfu Ao nodded, and continued: "Later, when I felt the disaster area, the chaos had been brought under control, and the guards were also orderly distributing relief food. The owner of the rice shop also donated [-] Dan The food came out, so this king didn't investigate thoroughly."

"So that's it! What is the prince going to do now?"

Yan Ruobing asked curiously, knowing that the matter had nothing to do with Huangfu Ao, she was relieved a lot.

"This king will naturally thoroughly investigate what happened back then, and all officials who took bribes will be dismissed and investigated. For those people who died unjustly, this king will also arrange to send some pensions to their relatives."

Huangfu Ao briefly talked about his plan, and Yan Ruobing nodded in agreement.

"By the way, you said that one of your good sisters is Lin Kui's daughter. Where is she now?"
