Chu Yiheng sent someone to look for Chu Yiyun at this time, which shows that the matter of the pension must have an eyebrow, although Chu Yiyun is very eager to find Song Lingxi, but in the face of major events, he still knows how to be proportionate.

Yang Yong led the team to continue to search for Song Lingxi and Peony, while Chu Yiyun and Han Peng followed Zhang Da to Xiangwang's Mansion.

Chu Yiheng handed the roster in his hand to Chu Yiyun: "I have carefully checked, there are a total of 4,315 soldiers killed in the battle to exterminate the rebels, and the roster has the signatures and drawings of each of their families, Li Village's is on page 71, Li Dasheng and Li Ergou have it."

"It's true, I'm afraid that one or two people won't be able to eat up so much money, so let's start with Jia Ping and check from top to bottom, and let those people spit out how they eat the silver."

"Have you forgotten why you and your second brother are called idle kings and waste kings? Isn't it because you don't want to get involved in partisanship in officialdom and make the eldest brother feel that you are a threat to his position as the prince?"

"What do you mean?"

"Jia Ping and most of the officials involved in this incident are the prince's people, whether we go to investigate, or we report to our father and let my father send someone to investigate, in the end, the prince will hold the grudge on our heads, I am most worried about this matter, I am afraid that it has something to do with the prince, so much money, how can they eat without a person who knows the sky?"

"I don't think so, they may not all be able to fill their pockets with this pension, judging from the situation of Li Dasheng and Li Erniu, it seems that they only pick some places that are relatively biased, and there are relatively few people and there is no strength in the DPRK to start."

Chu Yiheng refreshed Chu Yiyun's thoughts in his mind, and felt that Chu Yiyun's words were very reasonable, and it was impossible for such a large amount of pension to all go into the pockets of corrupt officials: "Zhang Da, Han Peng, you take the roster and visit the villages a little far away from the city to see if there are any other people who have not received the pension."

Because the pension matter is widely implicated, Han Peng and Zhang Da, who are investigating at this time, can only visit secretly.

Two days later, Han Peng and Zhang Da, who were visiting, returned to Xiangwangfu to report

"I've seen two princes"

Chu Yiyun, who was sitting in the guest of honor seat in Xiangwang Mansion, watched Zhang Da and Han Peng enter the door, and their handsome faces did not change at all, and he seemed to be more sure of the results of their visit, and Chu Yiheng had already stood up urgently, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Zhang Da replied: "Back to the prince, his subordinates visited twelve villages, and the situation in each village was almost different, the pension allocated by the imperial court was one hundred taels per person, but the one in his hand ranged from eighty taels to thirty taels, and the answer given by the Ministry of War was divided according to the age of the deceased, so no one stood up to make trouble, there were three more remote villages, and a total of eleven people did not get a penny, and the families of these people did not know that they all had pensions."

Han Peng: "The situation on the subordinate side is basically the same as what Commander Zhang said."

Chu Yiheng looked at Chu Yiyun: "That's really the case, so what now?" This is going to offend the big brother."

"Who has no parents, wives and children, those soldiers are also the hearts and minds of their parents, all the fresh lives are taken out of the capital by us, but we have not been able to bring them back alive, the pension is not only the last thought left by these people to their families, but also the honor of the battlefield bravery, I will never allow these deceitful people to put this money into their own pockets"

"Third brother, I know that some soldiers have been following me for many years, and I don't feel better than you when I learn about this, but after all, this matter involves the eldest brother, if you have to show your father, let me go, you have been in the field for so many years, and this time it's better not to be involved."

"You're just supervising the pension matter, and you don't know what the people below do, do you?"

"What does the third brother mean?"

"You just don't know anything about it, and I'll take care of the rest."

Two days later, that is, the 26th day of the first lunar month is the traditional prayer day of Daechang Kingdom, and the ancestors of Daechang Kingdom set the blessing day in the first month of the year, first of all, the first month is the beginning of the year and the beginning of the recovery of all things after the cold winter, and on this day every year, the emperor will bring all the royal heirs and civil and military ministers to the altar outside the city to pray for blessings.

Pray for the blessing day of the holy car from the Nangong Gate out of the Tianchi Street, Jinhua Street, Dongsheng Street out of the city, in the past these three streets will be crowded with people just to see the style of the holy car, but this year is particularly strange, the three streets are deserted. Looking at the few people on both sides of the street, the emperor and the empress in the dragon were very embarrassed, and the emperor called Gonggong Li and asked:

"Lehi, what's going on, don't the common people know that today is a day of prayer? Why are there only a few people on the street? ”

Gonggong Li replied: "It's such an emperor, the people seem to have gone to the yamen of the governor's mansion to see the excitement, and I heard that a few people are complaining at the yamen of the governor's mansion."

"The Governor's Mansion Yamen was originally the place in charge of criminal cases in the imperial capital, what is so strange about the two people who complained?"

"This, the minion doesn't know"

"So why don't you go and see what's going on?"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

The Governor's Mansion Yamen complained that it was none other than Uncle Xiang's and Li Erniu's mother, they held high the flag of injustice and invited the master to write the grievances of Li Dasheng and Li Erniu on the three zhang white silk from beginning to end, and spread the white silk at the gate of the governor's yamen, and the people who came and went could see it at a glance, so it was passed on to ten, and ten to hundred, everyone came to see the excitement, so that the three streets that the emperor passed by would be relatively light.

From the beginning of the pleading, from time to time, there were people in the crowd who had not received the money and those who had not received enough money to stand up and kneel down with Uncle Xiang to join them.

Under Chu Yiyun's instructions, Lord Chen and Li Xudong only understood the situation on the one hand, and pretended to drive them away, as more and more people gathered outside, it was presumable that this matter would soon become known to everyone, and before Chen Fang reported today's incident, someone from above would ask about it.

Chu Yiheng didn't expect that Chu Yiyun said that he would make such an arrangement, and now that he has made such a big fuss, how should the prince end it?

"The third brother really shouldn't make such a big fuss, I'm worried that the eldest brother will sooner or later know that this is controlled by you and me and hate you and me."

"The fourth brother knows better than anyone else that if this matter doesn't make a big fuss, I'm afraid that Lord Chen's twists and turns will be wiped out before he reaches the palace."

"I will take all the responsibility after the incident, and the third brother should not go to this troubled water"

"Let's talk about it then, you can just pretend not to know about it now, and I'll concentrate on finding Lingxi"

Time flies, and the light is fleeting. Looking back, the years of last year were bitter and sweet. The night is sleepless, reading sleeplessly, listening to the spring words, every day is a new piece, no longer idle.
