Tang Meng was left alone in the room, and the feeling of blushing and heartbeat last night crept into his mind again.

She shook her head violently, and while secretly scolding Duan Jingyi, she found the men's clothes and put them on hastily.

Xing'er, who was about to come in and clean up the bed, and Tang Meng, who was in a hurry, pretended to be full.

"Mother atonement, slave ......"

"Don't kneel, I'm not as stingy as Duan Dawangba!"

Tang Meng went straight to the front yard in a hurry, and if she didn't go to witness it in person, what if Jing Yi didn't admit that it was her credit to accept Dong Cheng, Tang Meng put on a fake beard a second before entering the main hall, jumped on both legs, and landed steadily in the center of the hall.

Dong Cheng was startled, and immediately recognized her as the person who came to find him yesterday.

Tang Meng preemptively opened Duan Jingyi's mouth.

"Governor Dong's Mansion has found out clearly?"

Dong Cheng glanced at Duan Jingyi vigilantly, and knelt down unconvinced, "Weichen did find a female corpse at the river embankment last night, but the minister did not supervise it effectively, and asked the prince to surrender!" ”

Please condemn the crime?

It's really a temper that would rather bend.

Tang Meng walked up to him and squatted down, "Everyone else is asking for forgiveness, but you are different, so you are not afraid that His Royal Highness King Yi will really arrest you in prison?" ”

"The subordinates are derelict in their duties and have no words to refute, but the prince knows that there is a female corpse hidden in the river embankment, but he does not point out directly, does not post notices to arrest the murderer, and does not send troops to protect the people, but asks the ministers to come here to meet in private, and the ministers don't understand!"

Tang Meng was overjoyed after hearing this, this Dong Cheng is okay, he is not afraid of the imperial power and dares to harden Duan Jingyi in person, and it is really not in vain the love of the people.

Tang Meng's respect for Dong Cheng suddenly rose a few points.

"Lord Dong's words are wrong, he really wronged the prince's love."

Dong Cheng scoffed.

"Weichen is not involved in party disputes, and the prince's love is probably going to be disappointed!"

"Party strife?" It turned out that Dong Cheng's first thought was this, but he was a little pedantic, Tang Meng straightened up, looked at Dong Cheng condescendingly, and there was a sense of righteousness hidden in his body, "The party of the past dynasties fought to trap the people in disregard, killed the monarch and betrayed the lord, and mutilated his siblings, which was despised by later generations, but if there are really thieves who kill innocent people, doesn't Lord Dong think it's worth fighting?" ”

Dong Cheng was shocked, raised his head and looked at the immature face in front of him in surprise, such words were completely different from her yesterday's divine spirit.

Even Duan Jingyi was shocked.

Tang Meng looked at Dong Cheng, "The prince's love is not only for Lord Dong, but for all the people in the south of the city. ”

"People?"

"The corpse hidden in the river embankment is hard to escape, but the prince has always admired the adult, after investigation, you are not a murderer, the reason why you did not declare the world with great fanfare is to protect a parent official who loves the people for the people, so painstaking, can the adult accept it?"

Dong Cheng's gaze darkened deeply.

He didn't even return home after he found the body last night, and his first thought was that Duan Jingyi would use this as a way to trick him into joining his camp.

So he directly came to the door of the Yi Wangfu angrily and sat in front of the palace for most of the night, so he questioned Duan Jingyi for the first time, even if he wanted to lose his head, he would not go along with it.

But Tang Meng's words seemed to hit his Heavenly Spirit Gai.

Dong Cheng never expected that Duan Jingyi would be so hard-working.

Tang Meng saw Dong Cheng hesitate, and immediately a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, naturally with a bit of evil.

She raised her hand to help Dong Cheng up, "Of course, Lord Dong can't accept it, yesterday the people of the whole city knew that you advocated the repair of the river embankment, and another day this matter will be in front of the emperor, you will not only be accused of poor supervision, I am afraid that you will be suspected of being the main culprit, and you will inevitably be speechless at that time, you are not afraid of losing your head, but also for the sake of the people and the family in the city, who will shelter them from the wind and rain in the future?" ”

Dong Cheng looked sideways at the people around him who had regained his spirit, a little unsure, "It was your idea to send a plaque yesterday?" ”

"Exactly, don't blame you."

"It's really a good means, but Dong doesn't blame you, what he said just now made Dong's heart stir, and he dared to ask Your Excellency?"

"Huh?" Tang Meng was stunned when asked, she accepted Dong Cheng only for money, and she didn't plan to make up an identity for herself at all.

"It's the king's...... Scholar Xiao Tang," Duan Jingyi took Tang Meng behind him and isolated her between her and Dong Cheng.

"Scholar? Good! If you participate in the imperial examination in the coming year, you will definitely make a great difference! ”

Tang Meng raised her head smugly after hearing this, who is she, she is a genius, and now she is waiting for Dong Cheng to go to Duan Jingyi to ask for silver.

But Duan Jingyi didn't mean to end, he ordered someone to give Dong Cheng a seat, and said in a deep voice.

"This king has been tracking for a few days, and found that the corpse of the woman on the river embankment is related to the flower boat, and this time I called Lord Dong to come, in fact, I want to ask you if you have any suspicions?"

Dong Cheng frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he felt that the legendary Yi Wang Ye was not a ruthless and unreasonable person, and he was worthy of a hand just because he was so thoughtful today, so he spoke.

In addition to dozens of fixed ships, there are also ships suspended from outside, as well as a large number of official ships, and there are no less than 100 anchors every day, all of which are legal ships in the background...... Wait for the minister to go back and find out carefully. ”

"Okay, this king wants you to check the roster and keep an eye on the new ships, especially if there is anything suspicious and report it to me, don't make a public announcement about it, so as not to startle the snake."

As he spoke, Duan Jingyi took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which was the appearance of the flower boat drawn according to Xiao Tao's description.

Dong Cheng took it down, and just wanted to get up and heard Duan Jingyi speak.

"This king heard that you have your own silver for repairing the river embankment this time, didn't the household department give an appropriation?"

Dong Cheng sighed, "It's allocated, because of the original embankment, so the household department allocated the money according to the standard of repair, but who knew that after the construction started, I found that the previous prefect actually filled the river embankment with grass, all of which were useless flower shelves, and the silver given by the household department was not enough to rebuild. ”

"How can this be true? Then why don't you report it! ”

Dong Cheng glanced at Duan Jingyi, and stopped talking.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Weichen only felt that it was useless to say it at the time, the officialdom was like this, and most of the officials protected each other from big things to small things, and I didn't know that you cared about the people at that time, so I only left detailed evidence, and I didn't have the opportunity to report it to Your Majesty."

"You left evidence?" Tang Meng couldn't help but interject.

"Yes, as soon as the previous prefect of Chengnan heard that it was Prince Yi who was going to sit in the imperial city, he told the old man to return to his hometown in advance, and the minister found evidence of his greed for ink from elsewhere, plus the fact that the forage on the river embankment is here, he will definitely not be able to deny it."

Tang Meng pouted, this prefect is really worthy of his reputation, and he is really strong.

Duan Jingyi immediately instructed Steward Chen to take 20,000 taels of silver and hand it over to Dong Cheng.

"This ......"

Duan Jingyi half-clenched his fists, and his eyes were gloomy, "You can use these silver taels first, and those corrupt officials will be disposed of one by one." ”

Dong Cheng took the silver two and was excited, "Weichen thanked the prince for the people!" ”

Sending Dong Cheng away, Tang Meng appeared in front of Duan Jingyi for the first time.

Her little hand stretched out and tightened with joy.

"Take it, Your Highness King Yi."
