The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 1223 is related to Coral Valley
A look of deep disappointment appeared in Dongfang Chi's eyes. He had read all these secrets over and over again, and came to these conclusions, so what if there were conclusions? Ignoring Dongfang Chi, her eyes were repeatedly looking at the paper.After asking several times, she saw a key word, Coral Valley.

"How is it related to Coral Valley?" Shen Qiqi pointed to those words and asked Dongfang Chi. Dongfang Chi came over and saw that he only wrote the conclusion on it, but did not write the reason.

"Someone saw a girl she knew running out from Coral Valley, but they also saw it when they passed by Coral Valley. I just saw the shadow, so I wrote it down. Why is there a problem in Coral Valley? Should I also try it out? However, the terrain there is very steep, easy to defend and difficult to enter, and it is difficult for me to enter alone."

Dongfang Chi's expression changed when he talked about Coral Valley, Shen Qiqi noticed it, and she immediately followed Dongfang Chi closely.

"Is there something wrong with Coral Valley? It must be something wrong with Coral Valley, right?" When Shen Qiqi saw Coral Valley, she remembered what Chu Liuyun had said to herself. The disappearance must be related to Coral Valley, and it is also remembered that the missing girls were found in Coral Valley.

"Yes, it has something to do with Coral Valley. I think so too, but there is no evidence, and I also went to Coral Valley to check. There are indeed traces of people there, but I just can't find it, and I'm just a person, there is nothing I can't even do it." When Dongfang Chi said this, there was a sense of complaint in his tone, and Shen Qiqi remembered that their government office looked too deserted, and as a county government office, there should not be only two office servants That's all.

"Why are there so few people in your government office, and there are other servants? Why don't they do it? How can there be only two on duty?"

"My lord's question is good. If you don't ask me, I wouldn't dare to say it. I don't know why the money allocated by the court is getting less and less every year. It turns out that there are eight teeth in the government office that can be rotated, but every month The money is getting less and less, and gradually even the monthly money of the yamen can’t be paid out. The yamen has no money, and they have to support their families. Of course they don’t do it. To the extent that they can maintain it, fortunately they have not yet married, and if they do, I am afraid they will not be able to continue."

Dongfang Chi's words were full of complaints. As a sheriff, he had no way of knowing why the money in the government office was getting less and less. He also wrote a letter saying that the hard work was difficult to maintain, but his letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response. , he could barely maintain it.

"How can such a thing happen? The emperor clears up the funds needed for the various places of the imperial approval every year. You are so short of funds. I will make a note of it and will investigate it carefully when I go back and give you an explanation."

Shen Qiqi's words somewhat comforted Dongfang Chi and eased his anger a little.

"Your Majesty is being reckless, and please forgive me, Princess. After all, I have been here for five years. I have tried my best to make the people here live and work in peace and contentment. But it still doesn't work. Now there is another girl missing. To Pingyuan County It is worse for the people, and it is not a good thing for me. I just want the court to investigate thoroughly and give an explanation to the common people. The county will become a wasteland. Although Pingyuan County is not an important frontier fortress in Qinglan Kingdom, it also has its own resources, and it is not far from the border. If it becomes a wasteland, it may have a very bad effect on defense , since you are here, you can convey my words to the emperor. I am also willing to take responsibility for my words. After passing the imperial examination, I was sent to Pingyuan County by the court, and I have no intention of leaving unless the people here are all living and working in peace and contentment."

Dongfang Chi spoke uprightly, and Shen Qiqi suddenly thought of a gossip question. At first she and Qi Zhao felt that Dongfang Chi looked very young, probably not more than 20 years old, but this time he has been here for several years, and After he has graduated in science, he should not be too young.Shen Qiqi hurriedly asked.

"How old is Master Dongfang this year? You said that it is very rare for you to be here for five years. It is not easy to take root here for five years."

"I'm 26 this year, and I'm 21 years old. I came here after passing the imperial examination. I didn't think about getting promoted or getting rich, or about other things. I just wanted to do something for the people in Pingyuan County, because I am a I grew up in Pingyuan County, and when I was ten years old, my father moved his family to the capital for my imperial examination. When I passed the imperial examination, I offered to be sent to Pingyuan County. I have a deep affection for Pingyuan County."

After hearing this, Shen Qiqi exchanged a look with Qi Zhao, this Dongfang Chi had a baby face, but his eyes were not like a baby, his eyes were extremely deep and steady, that baby face could not make people despise him, but Shen Qiqi also felt that a person who was used to seeing the prosperity of the capital city, it was indeed very rare for a person who passed the imperial examination to actively ask to return to Pingyuan County.

"Then, with all due respect, Master Dongfang, you also think that the key to the missing girl is in Coral Valley, right? I want to hear the truth, and I don't want to beat around the bush with you, because I also heard rumors that in Coral Valley there is a Xuanyang Kingdom Tianle, and Qinglan Kingdom kidnapped girls, as to why it is still unknown, now that there is such a problem in Pingyuan County, I want to hear your direct opinion."

Shen Qiqi felt that Dongfang Chi was sincerely working for Pingyuan County, and he also saw Dongfang Chi's concern for the people. He didn't want to waste Dongfang Chi's talent, especially he didn't want his sincerity and concern for the people to be wiped out.

"Yes, I have been there before, as I said just now, but it is difficult to enter. If the imperial court can conduct a thorough investigation, I really want to go to Coral Valley to see clearly in person, so that those documents that abducted those innocent girls will know their identity. How much harm the actions have caused to those people."

When Dongfang Chi said this, he burst into flames, the books and inkstone on the table were shaken, his inner anger was undisguised in front of Shen Qiqi, but Shen Qiqi didn't feel that he offended him, he was just Just showing the truth.

"Well, Qi Zhao and I went to visit in person. I looked at the map before I came. Your Pingyuan County is actually not far from Huanhu Valley. I want to go and have a look in person." Before Shen Qiqi came to the government office, she had Now that he had heard Dongfang Chi's words, he was even more sure of his approach, and Dongfang Chi didn't stop Shen Qiqi, but put forward his own opinion.
