Many people around were discussing what was going on, especially the two who seemed to have been injured, but they still kept shouting grievances.

In front of so many people, if the emperor does not deal with it fairly, it will obviously disappoint the people.

"Come, bring the people who cry out."

The two of them knelt on the ground, and when they saw the emperor, they couldn't stop kowtowing and said that they had no intention of disturbing the holy driver, but because they were about to lose their lives, they could only go to the emperor to sue the emperor.

With that, they trembling and took out a piece of cloth from their bosoms and put it in their hands.

"Bring it in."

The emperor shook off the cloth, it was a book of all people.

It was densely filled with the names of the people, some of which were written in blood.

"What do you have to do with it?"

The older woman knelt on the ground and wiped her tears while saying that they were from Huai'an, and that they were an ordinary couple who made a living from farming, but a few years ago, the government suddenly asked them to give up their land.

The common people all rely on these few acres of land to support their families, and if there is no land, where can they still live, naturally they will not be able to, and the government officials will pull out all the grain in their fields that is about to sprout.

"Is there such a thing?"

The emperor was furious.

"The small people don't dare to lie, except for our family, there are many people who are the same, and the surrounding counties and counties, the common people will not be able to survive."

The farmer knelt on the ground and beat his chest, those fields were handed down from generation to generation, and they were the foundation of their livelihood, and after the government forcibly occupied the land, they were only willing to give them a little silver as compensation, and forced them to write down a document saying that it was voluntary.

They really couldn't survive, so they would take risks to come to the capital to ask for an explanation in front of the emperor.

Seeing that they all had blood stains on their bodies, they thought that they had been chased and killed on the road, and then looking at the prince's pale face, Meng Combrow estimated that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Today's spring ploughing, the emperor is to prove to the people that the country attaches importance to agriculture, but when such an appalling thing happens, the emperor is naturally furious.

"Father, I think this matter is still suspicious, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated, so it is better to hand over this matter to the sons, and it will definitely be investigated."

The prince knew that only by his own presiding judge could he suppress it.

But Jing Qicheng stood up and said that this matter is very important, and if only the prince is the prince, the burden is too heavy, so it is better to let the three assistants make the world feel fair.

This is reasonable, even Meng Combrow can see that the prince is weak-hearted, let alone the emperor.

As the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he naturally felt that the prince was inextricably linked to this matter.

"It's okay, just do what King Chen wants, Cheng'er, you can also help."

"Yes."

Jing Qicheng knelt down to thank him, and the prince glanced at him complainingly, why did he always talk a lot when he shouldn't have spoken.

Back at the palace, Chun Xing took water and pig pancreas to wash Meng Bmei's hands, Meng Combed Mei and asked Chun Xing to boil some hot water, and by the way, put the medicinal materials he had prepared into the bath bucket for Jing Qicheng to soak.

I soaked in cold water for most of the day today, and if the wind and cold depression can't be dispersed in the body, I will definitely get sick.

His body is still poisonous, and he can't add other diseases.

The room was steamed, Jing Qicheng was covered with a thin blanket, and under him was a mat made of bamboo strips, and hot water soaked in medicinal herbs was placed underneath, and the medicinal power was slowly smoked into his body with hot air.

The effect of this method is better than drinking medicine directly, but after a long time, as long as you are close to Jing Qicheng, you can always smell a faint smell of medicinal herbs on your body.

"What do you think?"

Seeing that the water was about to be cold, Meng Combed his eyebrows and ordered someone to carry the mat down, and helped Jing Qicheng comb up the loose hair and use a jade crown to pin it.

"It's a little slower than my uncle's medicine."

"Yes, I use all the medicinal materials that are warm and replenished, although the effect is a little slower, it can be able to strengthen the foundation."

Meng combed his eyebrows in order to let Jing Qicheng take care of his body, but he put a lot of thought into it, seeing that his body was indeed much better than before, and his pulse was also peaceful, and he finally lived up to her hard work.

She told everyone to go out, and she stayed with him.

"You arranged the two farmers who complained."

"Count, it doesn't count."

He just arranged for a few people to escort these two people to the capital, and as for what they said in front of the emperor, it was true.

It seems that Shopkeeper Zhu left Beijing to do this errand.

Meng Combrow couldn't help but ask, what does this matter have to do with the prince? Why is the prince so nervous?

"Do you remember the Nan'an County Guard?"

"Yes."

When he was in the imperial examination before, his son was mercilessly kicked out of the examination room by Jing Qicheng for cheating, but Meng Combrow didn't have much impression of him.

Nan'an County is three days away from the capital, and it is not far away, but there is a very special feature in that place, that is, there is a gold mine.

"Gold mines?"

Jing Qicheng nodded.

According to the laws of Qingguo, salt, iron, and gold are all owned by the imperial court, and the main errand of this Nan'an county guard is to help the imperial court mine gold.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, guarding a gold mine, no matter who it is, there will be some thoughts in their hearts that they shouldn't have, so this Nan'an county guard is very rich.

"Doesn't the emperor care?"

"Qingguo is so big, how many things do you think your father can manage?"

Just like the previous Wang Governor's Mansion, he is just a small prefect, and he can search for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver by raiding his house, not to mention the Nan'an County Guard.

After that, Jing Qicheng took out a letter and handed it to Meng Combrow, these are all things that he arranged for someone to find out.

Meng combed his eyebrows and couldn't help but exclaim.

500,000 taels of gold?

The appetite of this Nan'an county guard is inevitably too great, and the annual court tax of Qingguo is only tens of millions of silver.

"The reason why he can be so rampant is also because of the crown prince."

Nan'an Junshou knew that once what he did was discovered, he would be charged with losing his head, so he took out a large amount of money to tie up his relationship in Beijing, and the prince who profited the most was the prince.

It can be said that the Nan'an County Shou is the money bag of the East Palace.

Meng combed his eyebrows and sneered, estimating that the bird cages on the county guard's mansion were all made of gold.

He already has so much wealth, why should he take the land of the people?

"The heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant, and the more silver the better."

"No wonder the prince pleaded for him even at the risk of being suspected by the emperor, it turned out that this was the case."

If it is just to conceal the gold mine, no one in the court is completely innocent, and it is estimated that the emperor also knows this, and even if he fails, he will only be scolded by the emperor.

But farming is the foundation of the country, and the meaning is different.
