Seeing that the two brothers were rushing to take over the disaster relief, the emperor was not much surprised.

After all, if the disaster relief is done well, it can gain a lot of reputation among the people, and many officials make a lot of money from the disaster relief every year, which is a fat gap.

Although the emperor knows what is wrong with this, if the people below are really greedy for some silver, he also knows how many people in this court can be innocent?

However, the prefect of Nazhou Yi Xingzhi was indeed recommended by Rong Yu, and there were a lot of connections secretly, all of which were in his hands, they thought that the emperor didn't know anything, but in fact, he didn't know.

After all, he also won the heir like this at the beginning.

The emperor pondered for a while, Murong Kai saw his hesitant appearance, and was about to step forward to continue speaking, when the emperor had already spoken: "Then the third child will be responsible for this matter, with the assistance of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, and the case of Yi Xingzhi's murder, let the Criminal Department send someone to investigate." ”

Hearing that the emperor had handed over this matter to Rong Qi to deal with, Rong Yu's eyes became a little deep.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, he was still a little unhappy now that this errand had really fallen into Rong Qi's hands.

If only Rong Qi was still that dumb person, it would not be his turn to intervene in all this.

At the beginning, he should have taken advantage of Rong Qi's weakness to cut this person to the roots, but now it was too late to say anything.

When Rong Qi heard the emperor's words, there was a little joy in his eyes, and he stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you, father." ”

But even if the case fell on Rong Qi's head, Rong Yu didn't feel panicked, after all, Yi Xingzhi was dead, and no matter how powerful the people in the Criminal Department were, it was impossible to find out that these things were related to him.

Thinking of this, his face finally improved a lot.

Rong Qi's afterglow saw the second brother's face, and he could see that he didn't seem to be worried, and thought that he had done it seamlessly, and no one noticed, but in fact, everything he asked Taiwei Zhai to do had already been clearly seen by Ji Yanning.

When he takes over this case, he will definitely find out the truth.

Hubu Shangshu Cen Qingshan stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, this year's harvest in various places is not good, this time the flood situation in Zhangzhou is severe, and so many disaster relief materials are taken out from the treasury for a while, I am afraid that I will have more than enough and not enough strength." ”

The emperor lowered his eyes and said, "Then find a way to raise disaster relief materials." ”

Cen Qingshan listened to the emperor's words, bowed slightly, but his brows were furrowed.

In addition to the dam bursting in the Zhangzhou area, many places in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River have also begun to be affected, and now more and more people are affected by the disaster, and it is difficult to take out so much relief money from the state treasury.

And he has been in the household department for two years, which is not a long time, but he is also clear about some of the things underneath.

Every time there is a disaster relief, some officials will deduct money, and in the end, not much will be distributed to the affected people. That's why he just told the emperor about it in the court.

However, Cen Qingshan was somewhat relieved that the third prince could take over the disaster relief.

He didn't have a lot of time as the head of the household, he used to be stubborn and couldn't see many things, so he suffered a lot of losses, Ji Yanning secretly mentioned him a lot, but now he has changed a lot, knowing that there are many things, and going straight can't solve them.

The second prince and the third prince took the heir, he didn't want to get involved, he just wanted to do his part.

He was single-handedly pushed to this position by Ji Yanning, if it weren't for Ji Yanning, he would still be just the prefect of Jiangzhou who has been hopeless.

It's just that Ji Yanning helped him a lot, and he never asked him for anything, he originally thought that Ji Yanning and King Xuan were married, that is, to get close to the three princes, and he must have hoped that he could stand in line with the three princes, but Ji Yanning never mentioned these things.

She's always done what she wanted.

However, Cen Qingshan had to say that Ji Yanning's vision was indeed good, the third prince was more capable of becoming a prince than the second prince, and he would be a little bit towards the third prince on weekdays.

It's just that I don't know if the third prince will take over these things in this disaster relief and just take out some silver money like the second prince and the fourth prince.

This matter was decided in this way, as for the case of Yi Xing's family being destroyed, the emperor named the criminal department to investigate, and the criminal department Shangshu felt that such a strange case must be solved by Qi Tixing in person, but these days, the criminal department has accumulated a lot of large and small cases, if Qi Tixing left Chang'an, I am afraid that the cases will accumulate more and more.

Qi Tixing recommended Ji Wenxu to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Ji Wenxu is his disciple, and when he follows him to investigate the case on weekdays, he has never been stingy with his skills, after all, Ji Wenxu has talent and perseverance, and he is a cultivable person.

You can't let Ji Wenxu stay by his side all the time as an errand boy, it's time for him to investigate the case by himself.

Ji Yanning was a little surprised when he learned about this.

"Your position is not high now, if you are sent to Guzhou to investigate the case, won't others feel that the Criminal Department has neglected this case?" asked Ji Yanning.

Ji Wenxu said with a smile: "This is a guarantee from the master, little aunt don't worry, I went to Zhangzhou, I am the person representing the Criminal Department, as long as the case can be investigated clearly, it is not impossible, the Criminal Department has also had such a precedent before." ”

Ji Yanning heard him say this, but nodded, and asked Ji Wenxu to investigate this case, maybe he could also confuse the people of the second prince.

If they learned that the person who went to Zhangzhou to investigate the case was a little-known hairy boy, they would definitely not take it seriously.

Ji Yanning said: "Since you are here to investigate this case, I naturally don't have to hide it, this matter was done by the people under Captain Zhai, if you meet Captain Zhai's people, avoid it a little more, don't expose what you can find outside." ”

When Ji Wenxu heard that it was Taiwei Zhai who did it, he was stunned for a moment: "How could my little aunt know?"

Ji Yanning said: "I had some festivals with Captain Zhai before, but then I sent someone to keep an eye on him, and found that he had already taken refuge in the second prince, and he also sent his own subordinates to destroy the entire family of Yifu, I think this should be inseparable from the second prince." ”

Ji Wenxu listened to Ji Yanning's words, but smiled bitterly: "Master still wants to use this case to test my skills these days, but I didn't expect that I learned the answer from my little aunt first, is this considered cheating?"

"Even if you know the answer, it's futile without evidence. Ji Yanning said, "Handle the case and pay attention to evidence, you can't say that it was killed by Taiwei Zhai without evidence, and it is impossible for me to let my subordinates testify to you, so you still have to check it yourself, but Nayi Mansion has long been burned down, and it is not easy to find evidence." ”

Ji Wenxu said with a smile: "With the answer of the little aunt, it can already save me a lot of detours." ”

Ji Yanning couldn't deny it, and said: "It just so happens that some of my subordinates are still in Zhangzhou, if you pass, I will let them obey your orders and protect your safety by the way." ”

Ji Wenxu knew that Ji Yanning was for his own good, so he didn't shirk it, nodded and said, "Thank you, little aunt." ”

Looking at Ji Wenxu's appearance, Ji Yanning was somewhat relieved.

When Ying's family had an accident, Ji Wenxu was still an infant baby, so Ji Yanning didn't expect him to remember those hatreds, just hoped that he could be safe and smooth, which was the best.

He has already suffered so much, Ji Yanning naturally doesn't want him to have a hard time in the future, after all, he is his brother's child.

Ji Yanning mentioned a lot of things about Guzhou with him in Ji's house, only to find that the time was not early.

"Since you have to go far away, I asked someone to prepare some things for you to use on the road, and now that the flood in Zhangzhou is going on, you don't need to go anywhere else, you need to pay more attention to it." Ji Yanning said.

Seeing that she took care of everything for herself, Ji Wenxu couldn't help laughing: "Little aunt, I'm not Ji Lang's kid, I can prepare these things myself." ”

Ji Yanning nodded, according to her age, Ji Wenxu is indeed older than her.

"By the way, didn't you tell me before that the person you like is Zheng Yuan from the Ren'an County Lord's Mansion?" Ji Yanning said, "So there is no movement at this time?"

Ji Wenxu listened to his little aunt mention Zheng Yuan, his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he sneered: "I'm like this now, I don't have a reputation yet, how dare I ask for a marriage?"

What's more, the county lord of Ren'an knows his identity and knows that he is the bloodline of the Ying family, and such an identity is likely to bring trouble to the people around him.

Ji Yanning said: "If you really think like this, then there is no way, I heard the Lord of Ren'an mention it, saying that he was going to marry Zheng Yuan, but it can't be left and right these days." ”

Hearing that Zheng Yuan was going to get married, a trace of surprise flashed on Ji Wenxu's face.

He really didn't know about it.

Ji Yanning said: "But it's not impossible, since Qi Tixing intends to let you investigate this case alone, it means that he has the heart to support you, if the case is handled beautifully, there is naturally no need to worry about the identity matter." ”

Ji Wenxu lowered his eyes and nodded.

Coming out of Ji's house, Ji Yanning went to a nearby pastry shop to buy some pastries and give them back to Ji Lang.

Ji Lang has always liked sweets.

It's just that I didn't expect that when Ji Yanning returned to Liufu, Situ Feng had already come to the door in person.

As soon as Ji Yanning got out of the carriage, the butler hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Biao, Governor Situ has been in the mansion for half an hour. ”

"Situ Feng?" Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly, "Sure enough, he still came over." ”

Seeing Ji Yanning's appearance, the housekeeper couldn't help but speak, as if he was not afraid of Governor Situ, "Miss Biao, what Madam means is that if Miss Cousin comes back, she will let you go out to Duan Mansion to take refuge." ”

She has always had a good relationship with Yuan Jiaojiao, and An knows it.

At this time, Situ Feng personally came to the door, and he must have come to settle the account.
