Tao Mingxi looked at Xing Tianze and said: "Then, Your Majesty, it seems that those officials must have embezzled your silver taels, and then there was not much left in the hands of the people, and, you see, when I went to the tea shop, the people who came to drink tea and listen to the story were all a group of rich people with identity and background, how could the poor dare to come to this kind of place to listen to the story?" ”

Xing Tianze continued: "Fang Cai also investigated this matter, saying that the official in charge of this side has never cared about petty theft here, and he took care of it at first, but as soon as he saw someone who gave him silver, he immediately helped whom, but those people had nowhere to complain, if they dared to complain again, they would definitely be punished, so the petty theft in this area was even more rampant, and the current situation has evolved to the point of robbery." ”

Tao Mingxi snorted coldly: "Hmph! These are really too infuriating, the emperor, I don't know if the emperor can trust the concubine, the concubine will definitely force him to open the door. ”

Xing Tianze naturally believes in Tao Mingxi, and there are always a lot of ways she can solve it, but now that she is pregnant, she ...... Xing Tianze was a little worried: "But you ......"

Tao Mingxi just smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is no longer in trouble, but it is just because the concubine is too tired, and she has been resting for so long now, and she has long been fine." ”

Since Tao Mingxi insisted on doing this, Na Xing Tianze didn't say much, but said: "Then, okay, if you are tired, you must remember to go back to the inn to rest." ”

"Seeing that you still have so many twists and turns, the concubine must still have a lot of things to do, so it is better for the concubine to help you, and you can save some more heart."

Xing Tianze didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth curved an arc, after getting Xing Tianze's permission, Tao Mingxi walked out, according to Xing Tianze's arrangement, the trace must go out for a walk, see where the official is now, the two walked out of the inn together, and the trace told Tao Mingxi what he had already investigated, "Niangniang, the left side has been checked, the people here are actually similar, and the right side has not been seen, Fang Cai, the slave only inquired a little, and did not inquire more, As for the yamen, it should be going that way. ”

Pointing in the direction to the right, Tao Mingxi said, "Okay, then let's go to the yamen first to see if the official is there." With that, he went to the yamen, and immediately followed.

The yamen is on East Street, and there is already a long queue in front of the yamen, almost from early morning to sunset, but the yamen is always closed, Tao Mingxi and the traces are hiding in the corners on the other side, watching carefully, and the traces say: "The yamen is closed, and I don't know if there are people inside, or should I say, where is the mansion of the official here." ”

Tao Mingxi looked at the queue that was so long, and frowned: "These people must have been queuing up from early morning to now, otherwise they wouldn't have been in such a long line now, and the official here is too, the matter is so big, he still hasn't opened the door?" It's as if everything here has nothing to do with him. ”

The trace leaned into Tao Mingxi's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I heard that the official here only dared to restrain himself and act like a minister when he met the minister, but in fact, the people here already hated it in their hearts. ”

Tao Mingxi's heart already understood, and then he walked out, came to the front of the yamen, came to the front of the drum and began to beat the drum to sound grievances, but after only two knocks, the aunt behind him said: "Girl, this is useless, according to the old slave, the official here is not there at all, and there is also a girl who comes to beat the drum to voice grievances, but there is no reaction at all." ”

Tao Mingxi then asked, "Then, do you know where the mansion of the official here is?" ”

"Mansion? I heard that this official's mansion is so far away from here that even if it is a carriage, it will take three days and three nights. ”

"Does he have a permanent place to stay?"

The aunt thought for a while, "Where to stay?" This...... There is a fairy building two hundred meters away from here to the front, and I heard that the women there are very beautiful, all like fairies, and they are deeply liked by this official, so he often plays there, and a night is a night. ”

Tao Mingxi continued to ask, "Oh, does he have any other hobbies?" ”

"If you talk about other hobbies, it must be in a gambling house, I heard him say that this gambling house was opened by himself, but the slave family thinks that this gambling house is not opened by him at all, and he is nothing more than gambling in it."

Another little brother said: "Not only gambling in it, Xiaosheng felt that he was sure to take the silver taels I was waiting for to gamble in it, and after the gamble, he came back, once the silver taels issued by the court, he immediately took it and continued to gamble, and so on." ”

Tao Mingxi clenched his fist tightly with one hand, biting his lip tightly, this person is really too much, no wonder the people here have all suffered, but he still smiled and said: "Thank you, aunt and this little brother." Then he departed.

Tao Mingxi immediately walked over to the trace, "Let's go, go to the Qinglou first." ”

Traces looked surprised, "Huh? Going to the Qinglou again? ”

But he didn't say much, just silently followed behind Tao Mingxi, found a place, changed into men's clothes, and then walked generously towards Xianmanlou, and was silent for a long time before he said to Tao Mingxi: "Madam, oh, phew! Young master, by the way, why did I come to the Qinglou again? ”

"Hey! There are some men here, not only are they lustful, but they also like to gamble, so we came over to see if there is anyone we are looking for in this green building. ”

Traces looked confused, "By the way, young master, it's not a way to find it like this, anyway, I don't know what this official looks like." ”

Tao Mingxi tapped his forehead with a fan, "Oops! How did Young Master Ben forget such a stubble? ”

If it's really that once this person is pregnant, he forgets everything, which is really not a good thing, so he immediately walked out of Xianmanlou to find a painter. Just find a random person, you can depict what the official looks like, and only after the painter has finished painting can he say: "This is the person, this is the official." ”

Tao Mingxi immediately handed over some silver taels to the other party, and then returned to Xianmanlou again, and then said to this Li's mother: "I am here to find this person, dare to ask, is this person here?" ”
