Chapter 390: Virtue is not worthy
The next day, Xiao Hanyin left the palace with Liu Qingshao directly and went out for breakfast.
If the things in Chengwangfu can not be touched, they will definitely not touch them.
While they were eating breakfast outside, they secretly checked the lives of the local people.
"Big brother, do you have any special food in Jiangnan, and the beautiful scenery, I and Uchiko came to do business, and I want to take the opportunity to play for a few days!"
After Xiao Hanyin observed for a while, he directly took Liu Qingshao and talked to one of the men who seemed to be doing well.
He felt that he couldn't directly see the clues with his own eyes alone.
So, he planned to learn about the situation in Jiangnan from the mouths of the people.
"The scenery in the suburbs is good, you can enjoy the peach blossoms while swimming in the lake!" The man had a hearty temperament, and after Xiao Hanyin invited him to eat something, he truthfully told him all about his condition.
It turned out that he was doing hard work at the docks, and his income was not bad, and the situation at home was okay every day.
After some conversation, Xiao Hanyin couldn't ask what he wanted to know from his mouth.
The people of Jiangnan look like people in other places, and they rarely mention local officials.
The people have a natural sense of reverence for the local officials, and they dare not mention it easily......
Liu Qingshao also took the opportunity to help with a lot of words, but it was not what they wanted at all.
If the problem of Jiangnan officials is not handled well, they will not be able to return to the imperial city.
In the past, Liu Qingshao had always wanted to leave the imperial city and live the life she wanted.
However, at the moment, he can't wait to go back immediately and stop staying in Jiangnan.
"Ah Yin, I guess when I was an official in Jiangnan, I didn't do anything in private, against the laws of the imperial court!" Otherwise, how could the local people not say a word.
Of course, Liu Qingshao is not easy to directly affirm their character.
The emperor sent them over, and if they couldn't produce conclusive evidence, they couldn't make a difference.
Whether these officials are good or bad, they must be investigated to the end.
"I'll go to Mo Xuanyu to discuss, you wait for me in the room!" After Xiao Hanyin wanted to deal with these things quickly, he completely distanced himself from King Cheng and never saw him again.
It is a good thing for everyone that he stays in Jiangnan, and without him as a hindrance, there will be less turmoil in the imperial city.
After Xiao Hanyin found Mo Xuanyu, the two of them exchanged information with each other about the information they had found.
Previously, they said that they would act separately and find out the situation in Jiangnan as soon as possible.
However, they barely achieved much last night.
"Brother Xiao, why don't I take the initiative to meet the Jiangnan prefect and find a way to drag him down, you sneak into his mansion and investigate it privately!" Mo Xuanyu also desperately wanted to go back.
The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and it is a place that many literati yearn for, but Mo Xuanyu was originally the eldest grandson of the Mo family in the imperial city, and his status is very noble.
Not only that, he is also very talented in private, and he can be appreciated by the emperor completely by his own ability.
His visit to the imperial city this time was also a test for him by the emperor and some ministers in the court.
Mo Xuanyu is too young, and everyone thinks that he is not worthy of the position......
If it weren't for his neat behavior and ability to suppress it, I am afraid that he would have been kicked out of the court long ago.
He, like Xiao Hanyin, is doing things for the prince in private.
Therefore, whether he can make a name for himself and silence the ministers in the court who look at him unpleasantly because of his age, this time the matter is very important.
Mo Xuanyu and Xiao Hanyin are special existences in the imperial court, but no one dares to question Xiao Hanyin's ability.
The corrupt officials and corrupt officials he found out before shocked many people, and at the same time, he was originally born in Jiangmen, and he entered the palace before he was ten years old to be a companion to the prince.
When he was eleven years old, Xiao Hanyin had a fight with the commander of the forbidden army, and he never lost to the other party.
Such an amazing person will naturally not be easily criticized.
Xiao Hanyin's light back then was too bright, and Mo Xuanyu could often hear his name from his father's mouth.
However, Mo Xuanyu was never jealous, but regarded him as an opponent he wanted to surpass.
It's a pity that Xiao Hanyin's mind is not on the official career, even if he never said it, but Mo Xuanyu can feel it.
He wanted to live a quiet and indifferent life, otherwise he would not have faked his death and left and gave up a good future.
If he hadn't left back then, the emperor would definitely reward him for his merits, after all, he saved the prince's life.
With his ability, he is afraid that he has long been the mainstay of the court.
Those old guys in the DPRK and China like to suppress young officials by virtue of their own status, and he has long been displeased......
After the two quickly agreed on countermeasures, they quickly left King Cheng's mansion.
Mo Xuanyu was an official from the imperial city, and when the prefect of Jiangnan learned that the other party had come to visit him, he immediately ordered someone to invite him in.
Xiao Hanyin watched him enter the prefect's mansion and quietly slipped in through the back door.
Although the back door was guarded, it couldn't stop Xiao Hanyin at all.
He threw a pebble over to grab their attention, then disappeared through the back door with a light feat.
Although the guards noticed something unusual, they didn't think much about it because they didn't see Xiao Hanyin.
After Xiao Hanyin entered, he immediately went to the prefect's study. 113
However, he carefully searched in the other party's study, but there were no clues, everything was normal.
Subsequently, Xiao Hanyin went to check the county government and the places where the prefect often went on weekdays, but he never found anything he wanted.
Xiao Han secretly wondered if this person was really a breeze on his sleeves, or if he was hidden so deep that she didn't find anything.
"Who?" When Xiao Hanyin was looking for clues, someone suddenly came in outside, and he quickly hid on the beam.
"You must be mistaken, there's nothing in there!" Two officials walked in.
"No way, I heard it!"
"The place where adults rest is so big, let alone people, flies can't hide!"
"Maybe I heard it wrong!"
……
The two officials carefully searched the room, but they didn't see any trace of Xiao Hanyin, so they went out directly.
After Xiao Hanyin waited for them to leave, he fell directly from the beam, his whereabouts were almost exposed, and it was inevitable that something would go wrong if he continued to stay, so he planned to go back for the time being, and everything was planned for the long term.
Not long after he left, Mo Xuanyu also made an excuse to leave.
The Jiangnan prefect didn't know why the other party came to visit, but although the other party's official position was not very high, it was from the imperial city, and it was not something he could easily offend.
The Mo family has a deep background in the imperial city, and it is difficult for him to be the prefect of the south of the Yangtze River.
After going back, Mo Xuanyu immediately went to see Xiao Hanyin, "How is the situation?" ”
"I've checked, there is nothing special in his study, and the letters exchanged are normal, and there is no trace of it in the government!" Xiao Han's eyes flashed slightly, "This person shouldn't have done anything to endanger the people!" ”
Of course, he is not an unscrupulous official who colludes with businessmen in King Cheng's mouth and secretly preys on the common people.
"In that case, why did King Cheng say that the other party was targeting him everywhere?" Mo Xuanyu frowned.
He has always hated shameless villains who are wrong-mouthed and intent on wronging innocent people.
"What is King Cheng going back to the imperial city for, you should have guessed a long time ago, when His Majesty decided to send him back to Jiangnan, he suddenly said that several officials in Jiangnan secretly squeezed him, and His Majesty sent us to personally escort him back in order to stop his mouth!"
Xiao Hanyin felt that his words were ambiguous from the beginning.
However, he couldn't bear to say that it was just to let King Cheng leave the imperial city.
"Let's secretly collect evidence first, and then go to King Cheng to confront later!" Mo Xuanyu said with a cold look in his eyes.
Whatever the purpose of King Cheng to slander the local officials, they must find evidence to convince him.
He will live in Jiangnan for a long time in the future, and if this matter is not handled properly, there will be hidden dangers after all.
After Xiao Hanyin and Mo Xuanyu secretly exchanged a look, they each went back to their rooms.
This matter is just the beginning, they have to have the evidence in their hands, and then find a way to let Cheng Wang stay in Jiangnan for himself, and stop thinking about those positions that are destined not to belong to him.
Xiao Hanyin was already the best at searching for evidence, and he had done a lot of the same thing before.
Many corrupt officials in the imperial city were found out by him.
Therefore, the emperor specially ordered him to come to deal with this matter.
Even if King Cheng had a holiday with him, the emperor never thought about letting others come over.
King Cheng is cunning and cunning, ordinary people are not his opponents at all, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao have fought with him secretly before, and they have not fallen behind.
They are the best candidates to deal with the king......
When Mo Xuanyu and Xiao Hanyin were collecting evidence, King Cheng often summoned his henchmen.
They knew all of this, but they didn't do anything.
Liu Qingshao also stayed in the room all day, and almost never went out except for Xiao Hanyin.
Since King Cheng came to look for her that day, it was as if she had disappeared, and Liu Qingshao was silently relieved.
She was really worried that King Cheng would use his power to trap her and Xiao Han in the mansion, and then kill her directly.
However, after Xiao Hanyin arrived in Jiangnan, he immediately flew pigeons to pass a book to the emperor and clarified their whereabouts.
King Cheng is still a little jealous of the emperor.
Although Jiangnan is his lair, some of his forces have long been restrained by the emperor.
For so many years, the emperor has been guarding against him like a thief, even though he has secretly raised a lot of private soldiers and dead soldiers, he has never been able to compete with the emperor.
The reason why he suddenly went back was that he wanted to go to the imperial city and cultivate his own power.
However, the current saint did not act according to common sense, and directly sent him out of the imperial city.
Although King Cheng's existing layout has been disrupted, if it is rearranged, it will be too late.
For this reason, he could only retreat to the second, first go back to Jiangnan and then slowly figure it out, but Xiao Hanyin and his wife were too smart, and they saw through some of the lies before they started to investigate......
After a few days of investigation, Xiao Hanyin and Mo Xuanyu were extremely sure that the Jiangnan prefect had indeed not done anything out of the ordinary, and belonged to a mediocre generation with no merit or fault.
It is very difficult for such an official to be promoted, but being able to stay in the rich land of Jiangnan all the time can be regarded as his creation.
"Since the Jiangnan prefect did not deliberately target King Cheng, is this matter over?" Liu Qingshao always had a bad premonition in her heart.
"With the heart of King Cheng, when we investigated the Jiangnan Prefect, I am afraid that he was already prepared!" Whether they can leave or not depends on whether King Cheng really gives up the battle for the throne.
