Chapter 32: The Death of Zhizhou, the Case Ends

Xiao Han felt that Zhang Wang's words were very reasonable, the people of Anning County were already on the verge of starving to death at any time, and there was really no time to continue to wait for the arrival of new officials.

Although the emperor's uncle gave her the right to act cheaply, she could also use this right to accept the act of acting as a county magistrate.

It's just that there is no suitable candidate in Anning County now, and the master has been imprisoned with Xie Decai.

The county government's catches and walks quickly, leaving behind the dog's legs for the tiger.

And among the people she brought with her, there was no suitable candidate.

Therefore, the best way is to follow what Zhang Wang said.

Since Zhang Wang put forward this idea, she handed over the matter to Zhang Wang, and then sent Hongxiu to take charge of the accounts from the side.

She also ordered Liu Biao to send someone to ask if there were still doctors in the county, and gathered the doctors to treat the people for free.

As for herbal medicines, there is Xie Decai's account book, which contains records of several people in the county who opened a pharmacy and paid him bribes.

With this, they naturally did not dare to raise the price, but instead sold the herbs to them at a relatively low price.

By the time the affairs of Anning County were almost dealt with, it was already three days later.

As for the matter of Tongzhou, Xiao Han had already sent Liu Biao, Cui Guangxi and a forbidden army to Tongzhou to control all those officials first.

It is determined that the people of Anning County have almost settled down, and the epidemic has been controlled, and those who went out before seem to have heard the wind here and have rushed back to rebuild their homes one after another.

After everything was on the right track, Xiao Han and his party left Anning County and prepared to rush to Tongzhou.

On the day of leaving, all the people of Anning County spontaneously came out to see them off, and where Xiao Han's carriage passed, all the people knelt on the ground and shouted: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, congratulations to the county lord!" ”

This is the first time Xiao Han has experienced such a scene, and he was full of emotion for a while.

In her previous life, because of her various styles, it was already good not to be disgusted by the people, let alone loved.

And after she made changes in this life, she also gained more!

Xiao Qi on the side seemed to be shocked: "Sister Han, they..."

It seems that he doesn't know what adjectives to use to describe it, and he rarely hesitates...

Xiao Han seemed to understand his feelings, and she said with a smile: "You are the crown prince and the prince, and your decisions in the future will be closely related to their lives." Once you make a wrong decision because of your willfulness, then it will not be you, nor the royal family, but these ordinary ordinary people who will suffer. ”

Xiao Qi was puzzled: "Sister Han, why do you care so much about the life and death of these people?!" ”

In his opinion, Xiao Han is the only niece of his father, and he has been given the surname 'Xiao' since birth.

Since she returned, her father's rewards have continued, even more favored than him, the successor prince of the East Palace.

Coupled with the fact that her maternal grandfather was the Duke of Zhenguo and held military power, it can be said that she has enough capricious capital.

"Because you want to atone for your sins, right?!" Xiao Han replied.

'Atonement'?! Atonement for what?!

Originally, he wanted to ask, but when he saw Xiao Han's sad eyes, he couldn't say the words in his mouth anyway.

On the second day of departure, they arrived in Tongzhou, and they entered the city and went straight to the government.

Cui Guangxi and Liu Biao, who had set off in advance, had already detained all the officials involved, and Liu Biao ordered his forbidden army to take over the government and the prison to prevent anyone from robbing the prison.

Choi Kwang-hee has already begun to interrogate one by one, and has obtained part of the confession, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

After she arrived, she asked Zhang Wang to assist Cui Guangxi in completing the remaining confessions, mainly those of several more important officials such as the prefect of Tongzhou.

When I was in Anning County, the jade pendant was never found.

So, we have to find a way to get information from these people.

It's just that things don't go well, and the others don't seem to know the identity of this mysterious official.

The only known Tongzhou Zhizhou also bit the tongue and couldn't speak, and things came to an impasse.

Until the matter was about to end, Tongzhou Zhizhou did not speak.

The night before Xiao Han decided to take them back to Beijing, the governor of Tongzhou died in prison.

Everyone felt that he did not commit suicide in fear of crime, but the results of the autopsy showed that he had indeed hanged himself, and there was no trace of his murder.

In desperation, Xiao Han had no choice but to order Zhang Wang to stay behind to investigate the death of the governor of Tongzhou, and to act as an agent for the affairs of the governor of Tongzhou, until the officials sent someone to hand over it.

In order to prevent accidents, she also asked Liu Biao to stay with her subordinates to protect Zhang Wang's safety.

After that, she set off for Beijing with the remaining culprits.

As for the problem of garrisoning troops near Tongzhou, the emperor's uncle had already sent someone else to solve it, so she didn't need to worry about it.

On the way, she was always worried that someone would send a killer to come, so she ordered the forbidden army guarding the prisoner car to be vigilant and to protect the safety of the prisoners as the first responsibility.

But unexpectedly, until entering the capital, the road was calm.

Xiao Han guessed that maybe it was the death of Tongzhou Zhizhou, and the jade pendant had also disappeared, making the people behind the scenes feel that these people no longer pose a threat to him.

That's why these people will be spared.

Anyway, the errand was successfully completed.

According to the arrangement of the emperor's uncle, she instructed Zhao Hai to hand over the person to the criminal department, and she and Xiao Qi went directly to the palace with all the evidence.

Emperor Wu An seems to have received the news of her entering Beijing a long time ago, and has sent Gonggong Liu to wait for her outside the imperial study.

After the two of them entered the imperial study, they saluted first: "Erchen (Pingle) greets his father (imperial uncle)." ”

Emperor Wu An waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to be polite: "Let's all get up, since you are all back, it means that the matter is almost investigated, right?!" ”

Because there was too much evidence, this time she entered the palace, and all she brought were the general ledger and the confessions of officials. The rest was handed over to the Penal Department as evidence for their conviction.

handed over the evidence brought to Gonggong Liu, and Gonggong Liu presented it to the imperial case for Emperor Wu'an to see.

After looking through it carefully, Emperor Wu'an's face sank.

He did not get angry at once, but told them to go down and rest first.

Later, he ordered Liu Gonggong to summon officials, and it seemed that there would be another bloody storm in the DPRK.

It's just that none of this has anything to do with them anymore.

After asking Zhao Hai to send Xiao Qi back to the East Palace, Xiao Han himself left the palace and returned to his county lord's mansion.

This period of time was too tiring, which made Xiao Han's whole person tired, and only by returning to the familiar county lord's mansion could he sleep soundly with peace of mind.

She slept for a day and a night, and woke up late the next night.

Xu slept too much, she really couldn't sleep, so she ordered Cuiwei, who was on vigil, to come in and light the candle.

Sensing the hunger in her belly, she ordered the small kitchen to cook some meals.
