Chapter 78: Spy Shadows
As she spoke, the woman looked up at Chen Mu.
It doesn't matter if you don't look up, this time you look up, Chen Mu suddenly felt that his eyes lit up.
This girl was born beautiful, and this cry is pear blossoms with rain, and I feel sorry for it.
Coupled with the eyes full of sadness and grievances and asking Chen Mu for help, it was impossible to refuse.
Of course, it was impossible for Chen Mu to refuse her on such an occasion, no matter what she looked like.
"I already know, don't worry, after the investigation is clear, the court will definitely give you justice."
"Come with me into the city first."
Since the local official uniform is suspected of committing a crime, of course he can't go through the normal procedures anymore, so Chen Mu wants to take her back first.
The girl got up and thanked her, and ran to Chen Mu, but the soldiers next to her stopped her and brought her to the team.
The surrounding people saw that Chen Mu was so reasonable, and they praised him again.
But in the crowd, there was a person who watched coldly, remembered Chen Mu's reaction, and then quietly left.
In the midst of the crowd, no one noticed him.
Chen Mu was looking at the girl, not to see how good-looking she was, but to pay attention to her posture and movements.
It looks like he is weak, and he shouldn't know martial arts.
Chen Mu's heart was a little calmer.
The army continued to march forward and was welcomed by the emperor and ministers, and then Chen Mu led people to the celebration banquet, and the girl named Liu Ying was sent to the procuratorate by the soldiers.
This department was newly established at the suggestion of Chen Mu, and its function was to supervise the actions of Bactria officials.
It turned out that officials were all referring to each other, and then Chen Xingtian decided it, but Chen Mu programmed this behavior and no longer handled it directly by Chen Xingtian.
In this way, it will be more just, and it will be good for the political situation in the court.
The way of the emperor lies in checks and balances, and when Chen Xingtian dealt with this kind of thing in the past, he considered it from the perspective of the balance of power in the court, but now, the procuratorate needs to investigate, collect evidence, and then convict.
In this way, Chen Xingtian does not have to be embarrassed on both sides, and it is much easier.
Moreover, it also gave the common people a chance to sue the officials.
The celebration banquet was very relaxed and pleasant, and the next morning, Chen Mu told the public about the exploits of the expedition.
Some people accused Chen Mu of being too cruel, Chen Mu argued with reason, and Chen Xingtian also fully supported it, and those people no longer insisted when they saw this.
After leaving the court, Chen Mu was not idle, first asked Li Biao, the leader of the secret guard, to send an order to investigate Liu Ying's matter, and then found Wang Sheng of Maiwei and asked them to investigate the matter at the same time.
It's not that Chen Muxin can't be found by the procuratorate, but Chen Mu feels that this matter is a little strange, and it is better to investigate in multiple ways.
After a few days of investigation, it was found that there was a problem with the county order and the tax officer, and Chen Xingtian directly ordered the beheading. gave Liu Ying an explanation, and also gave the people of the world an explanation.
Let everyone see that although it is said that there are inevitably corrupt officials in the court, as long as they are caught, they will definitely be dealt with.
After such a wake-up call, officials across the country will converge a lot.
After Liu Ying got the news, she immediately went to the prince's mansion to thank her. After seeing Chen Mu, he bowed his head.
"People's daughter Liu Ying, thank you His Royal Highness the Prince, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness, my Liu family's grievances would never have seen the light of day."
Chen Muyi waved his hand, "No need to be polite, this is what I should do." Even if you don't come to the road to file a complaint, you can go directly to the procuratorate to file a complaint. ”
Liu Ying's words changed, and her tone was a little ambiguous.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very gracious, the little woman has nothing to repay, she shouldn't have begged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, but the little woman is now alone and has nowhere to go, so I implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take her in."
"The little girl can be a female celebrity, and it's okay to do laundry and cooking, and she won't let you take it in vain."
As she spoke, Liu Ying began to kneel and kowtow again.
Chen Mu frowned and looked at Mei Ling'er next to him.
Mei Linger also frowned and nodded, expressing her agreement with Chen Mu's opinion.
Chen Mu thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, the many maids in the prince's mansion are nothing, since you are willing, then stay." ”
Liu Ying was ecstatic and kowtowed again to thank her.
Chen Mu called someone over and asked him to lead Liu Ying to the housekeeper and make arrangements.
After Liu Ying left, Chen Mu said to Mei Ling'er again: "I left her behind to lure the snake out of the hole, these days, I have worked hard for you, you must protect Su Su." ”
Mei Ling'er nodded, "Husband, please rest assured, I will definitely keep an eye on her." ”
Chen Mu nodded, and called the Dongyue maids again, and asked them to divide five people, and stared at her while taking Liu Ying to work.
Not only that, Chen Mu told Mai Wei the news and asked them to investigate secretly.
The composition of the secret guards is more complicated, and it is easy to sneak in with spies, so Chen Mu did not inform them.
After Liu Ying entered the Prince's Mansion, she has always done her duty and worked hard. Except for one time when he wanted to dedicate himself to Chen Mu, but was rejected by Chen Muwan, there was nothing out of line.
Mei Linger also remembered Chen Mu's advice, asked Liu Ying to work when she had time, and then stared at her.
The weather was getting cooler, Mei Linger measured Liu Ying's size and brought her a cotton coat.
"Yingying, let's put down the work first, what treasure did you see my sister got for you?"
Liu Ying put down the female red, saluted respectfully and said, "There is Mrs. Lao, she is so good to me as a subordinate." ”
Mei Linger patted Liu Ying's shoulder with a big grin, "Nonsense! What is inferior and not inferior? Give this a try. ”
Mei Linger picked up the cotton clothes and put them on for Liu Ying.
Liu Ying turned around twice and said in surprise, "What is this?" Why is it so warm? Is this a leather coat? ”
Mei Linger said with a smile: "This is called cotton clothes, and it is cotton inside, which was brought back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after his expedition to Persia." At that time, the Xishan area was war-torn and the people had no clothes to wear, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also distributed cotton clothes to the people in the Xishan area. ”
"Haven't you heard?"
Liu Ying looked surprised, "I really haven't heard of it, before my family fell down, I didn't go out of the door." After the death, I was also in a panic all day long, and I didn't have the heart to listen to people talk about these things. ”
Mei Linger smiled, "Then I'll talk to you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done a lot of good things." ”
The two of them sat down, Mei Linger started from Chen Mu's expedition to the grassland, and told him about big and small things, so that Chen Mu had already done a lot of things that benefited the country and the people.
Liu Ying was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but wonder a little, was Mei Linger lying, or was Chen Mu really like this?
She had heard before that the mediocrity of the officials of Great Xia, the bullying of the people by the big family, and the invasion of neighboring countries were all caused by Chen Mu. Heinous and unforgivable.
Could it be that the person is lying to her?
Liu Ying was a little confused.
Her hesitation was a month, and she did nothing in the Prince's Mansion.
