"The princess misunderstood, the old minister didn't mean that." Lord Yuan said.

"Maybe, but there is one thing that I must not have misunderstood, that is, Lord Yuan, the original accusation of Jiang Qingchen by the royal steward was not the accusation of the officials below, but you personally handled it." Yun Xiangrong said.

Yuan Qi's face changed. He did this because he didn't want to offend Jiang Qingchen, but he was entrusted by others, and he couldn't collect money and not work.

"Writing habits are cultivated from an early age, and fonts can be changed, but no one can change the font structure. I can see that it's not that I'm good, it can only show that I love to show off, I think my father and Lord Luo already knew, I didn't say it. I say this because I hope that the adults who will confront me next will come up with defensible evidence. Yun Xiangrong continued.

The emperor admires Yun Xiangrong a little, this character is obviously fought today, no matter what happens in the end, no matter who you offend, anyway, you don't care what my tricks are, Jiang Qingchen's accusations must be calmed down.

Objectively speaking, Yun Xiangrong's approach is a little arrogant, but the emperor thinks it's not bad, he likes princesses who can afford it.

Yuan Qi also felt that there was no need to explain, who let himself be a little selfish when he took over this matter, so he quietly retreated.

Before Lord Luo signaled, an official took the initiative to stand up, Lord Luo said badly, this person's name is Ma Gong, he was originally a member of Dali Temple, but he was too radical, he always liked to use fraud to extract confessions, and many cases had already been convicted, but the case was always overturned.

Lord Zhao said Ma Gong many times, but he was not convinced, and in desperation, Lord Zhao let Ma Gong take a vacation, but Ma Gong has a backstage, and his father is a patrol of the Eight Mansions, and he is usually not in the capital, so he found Lord Luo here, hoping to give Ma Gong a chance to hone his imperial history in the Imperial History Terrace.

Lord Luo is used to being sleek in officialdom, and he thinks that although his work seems to offend people anyway, he can't make a fuss, so don't he accept individuals? It's not a difficult thing, the key is that Ma Gong is either a lazy person, or he has too many routines to do things by himself. Likes to do whatever he wants.

He received a lot of anonymous letters about the accusation against Jiang Qingchen, but after careful consideration, Lord Luo selected ten defensible reports.

But Ma Gong was reluctant on the spot, not to mention one more, that is, about Ruyi Villa, Lord Keluo felt that this matter was untenable, because it had little to do with Jiang Qingchen, but although Ma Gong agreed, he stood up in the court again.

Lord Luo said in his heart that there is a reason why Lord Zhao doesn't want you, you must have suffered a lot, and when you go down today, I will definitely refrigerate you, if you don't follow the rules, don't blame me for being polite.

"Xiaguan Ma Gong, please ask Princess Rong if you have something." Ma Gong said.

Luo Yi had told Yun Xiangrong before that the officials who would go to the court today would not have Ma Gong, Yun Xiangrong looked at Lord Luo's expression, and also understood that Ma Gong was obviously a master who deceived his superiors and subordinates.

"Okay, Master Ma, please speak." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Have you ever heard of Ruyi Villa, princess?" Ma Gong asked.

"Hmm." Yun Xiangrong replied.

"Has the princess ever been?" Ma Gong asked again.

"Well, I've rested there, but if you ask me what Ruyi Villa looks like, I can't tell, because I'm sleeping. Never been out. Yun Xiangrong said.

"The princess knows that Ruyi Villa supplies one-fourth of the supply of the capital and one-third of the supply of the guards of the capital." Ma Gong said.

"I'll know what you said, does this have anything to do with Jiang Qingchen? You won't find out that this is Jiang Qingchen's industry, right? Are you sure? Such a big mountain villa? With such a large turnover, it must be very profitable. But why does he always look like he has no money? Yun Xiangrong said suspiciously.

Ma Gong was a little disappointed, he asked others to ask the princess questions before, and the princess could answer ten sentences when he asked a sentence, and it was good to come to himself, the princess didn't talk much, was it the reason for not being prepared? If the princess doesn't speak, she won't have a chance to find a loophole.

"I've checked, this Zhuangzi has something to do with Changping Houfu." Ma Gong said.

"Oh." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Didn't the princess want such a big villa?" Ma Gong said.

"Master Ma, I don't think you even know what you want to ask me, or maybe you don't know a lot about it." Yun Xiangrong said.

"What does the princess mean?" Ma Gong said.

"Master Ma, I know that you are from Dali Temple, I think the most important thing that Dali Temple gives you should be to do things and talk about evidence, right? You have repeatedly asked me about Ruyi Villa, but there is no empirical evidence, I really don't bother to waste time with you, if you have evidence, just get straight to the point, okay? Yun Xiangrong said.

"After investigation, Jiang Xi'an will go to Ruyi Villa every few days, and will also bring the account books of Ruyi Villa to the capital, and even have a very familiar relationship with the procurement relationship responsible for the garrison in the suburbs of Beijing, doesn't this mean that this is the industry of Changping Houfu?" Ma Gong said.

"Oh." Yun Xiangrong said.

"What do you mean by princess?" Ma Gong said.

"I don't understand what you're going to say, I'm waiting for your conclusion, is there a problem with a Zhuangzi in Changping Houfu? Is this Zhuangzi doing illegal business? Or is it tax evasion? Or is it harboring criminals? Can you give a conclusion right away? Yun Xiangrong said.

"I suspect that Jiang Qingchen used his authority to make Ruyi Villa the largest supplier of supplies for the guards in the capital." Ma Gong said.

"Oh." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Isn't there anything the princess wants to explain?" Ma Gong said.

"What are you asking me to explain? What you say is all suspicion, there is no actual evidence at all, I don't think what I said is as credible as what I said, Master Ma, your uncle is the shopkeeper of Boya Zhai in the capital, right? Yun said suddenly.

"Yes." Ma Gong said.

"I have spent about 40,000 taels of silver in his store in two months this year, you can help me bring a message to your father Ma, I have spent so much in his brother's store, can I come out and take you home, don't be embarrassed outside." Yun Xiangrong said.

Some officials laughed so low that they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Princess, you are so insulting." Ma Gong said angrily.

"Master Ma, I don't know what you think, before my father said that the court was confronting, there was no such thing you said at all, I don't think you can come up with evidence, I insist on saying, don't you think it's a waste of everyone's time?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"Who said that I have no evidence, I have testimony to prove that Jiang Xi'an often goes in and out of Ruyi Villa." Ma Gong said.

"Do you have direct evidence? For example, the title deed, the title deed of Ruyi Villa. Or an official filing, that's fine. Yun Xiangrong said.

Of course, Yun Xiangrong knew that he couldn't take it out, because the accounts of such Ruyi Villa were all here in Yun Xiangrong, and the name Jiang Xi'an never appeared in any contract at all.

"I haven't checked it, but it can't prove that it's not the property of Changping Houfu. If you look for a puppet shopkeeper, doesn't it show that the business inside is boring? Master Ma said.

"If you really want to add a crime to Jiang Qingchen, you can get anything involved, but I think you're a bit far, it's really better to put things that have a greater impact on the capital and say it, the effect is good, such as a murder case or something like that." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Please princess, don't take the topic, I think there is really a problem with Ruyi Villa." Ma Gong said.

"Okay, then let's talk about the matter, no matter who Ruyi Villa is, if it is really through bribery, get the supply of the garrison in the suburbs of Beijing, the bribe official should be punished, according to the provisions of Chapter 12, Section 8 of the "Xiliang Law", everything found that the official took advantage of his power to give and accept bribes, and was sentenced to the minimum amount of bribes to be dismissed from the position and never hired, and the maximum death penalty. Master Ma, I advise you, the suburbs of Beijing are stationed to defend the safety of the imperial city, you go to investigate corruption in order to establish the majesty of the court, but it is better to show empirical evidence and then make a move, today's ambiguous words, it is best not to tell the people in the army, then you will be beaten to death. Yun Xiangrong said.

Ma Gong began to feel that the reason why Yun Xiangrong was able to refute everything was because he was well prepared, and a temporary kill like himself would definitely catch her off guard, who would have thought that the princess could not only say the relevant provisions of the "Xiliang Statute", but also seemed to offend a big customer for her uncle.

"Is the princess familiar with the "Western Liang Law"?" Ma Gong said with emotion.

"It's okay, it's just that I can memorize it, and there are still a lot of things I don't understand, and I need to learn further." Yun Xiangrong said.

"The princess is so modest." Ma Gong said curtly.

"Lord Ma, you may not understand why Lord Luo didn't report the matter about Ruyi Villa, it's because Lord Luo knows very well that it is meaningless, even if it is found out that this villa is from the Marquis of Changping, and he has bribed officials, but the "Xiliang Law" only has severe punishment for officials who accept bribes, and there is no punishment for bribe-givers. This does not constitute Jiang Qingchen's crime at all. Yun Xiangrong said.

"Ah, like that." Ma Gong said.

"I know you don't want to make trouble, but you always want to find a chance to prove yourself, in fact, doing your most basic things well first is what you should do." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Princess, you've checked me." Ma Gong said unexpectedly.

"Of course, Lord Luo said just now, your Yushitai has been working overtime for many days for today's confrontation with me, I just did some homework to understand the information of the imperial history and the imperial history, compared to you, my seriousness is insignificant." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Your Majesty, I am not careful to restrain my subordinates, I hope Your Majesty understands. I am willing to accept the punishment. Lord Luo stood up and said.

"Ma Gong, you are very famous, I heard of you last year, and you made a mess of Dali Temple." The emperor said.

"Your Majesty atons for your sins, and the minister knows that he is wrong." Ma Gong hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Luo Aiqing, arrange some copywriting work for him, and people will calm down first." The emperor said.

"Obey." Lord Luo said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Gong said, he understood that this was the meaning of the saint's failure to continue the investigation.
