Chapter 99: Zhao Shuling
"That's not the case!" The prefect immediately retorted.
According to Sheng Qingyuan's calculations, he is afraid that he will have to go bankrupt to be able to get so much money?
Sheng Qingyuan asked, "If that's not the case, what is that? Don't tell me, Lord Wang, the yamen doesn't have so much money now, and if it doesn't, then where does it go? Why are there so many shortages?"
"This, this I, I don't know, and I am not responsible for this money on weekdays."
"Then you let the person in charge come." Shen Zhao said in a cold voice.
The prefect trembled for a long time, and finally pointed directly to the general judgment: "It's him, he is responsible, and I don't know how the money didn't fall!"
The general judgment who was suddenly mentioned suddenly stared at the prefect, unable to believe what he had heard.
Shen Zhao looked at the general judge.
The general judge immediately said, "Lord Wang, the lower officials don't know anything! No, the lower officials know, but all the money was spent by the prefect, and it has nothing to do with the lower officials! Although the lower official doesn't know much, he knows some of it, and the lower official is willing to testify!"
"He Tongling, what nonsense are you talking about?!" The prefect immediately asked angrily.
The general judge said: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan has dissuaded the adult many times, but the adult still insists on using the money of the yamen, and the Xiaguan, the subordinate official is soft-spoken, and he can't say anything."
"Ho Tong Ling!! Are you looking for death?!" The prefect's anger was even heavier.
"Lord Wang, what are you doing so angry? If what Master He said was slander, then he naturally had the price he should bear, if you really didn't do it, you would definitely not have wronged you, unless you ......" Sheng Qingyuan said with a faint smile.
At this point, he stopped and did not continue, but everyone understood what he meant.
The prefect's face turned pale, gritted his teeth, looked at Shen Zhao and Sheng Qingyuan, and said, "As far as the lower officials know, the official title on the prince's body is only that of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, these things, shouldn't it be the prince's turn to interfere, right?"
When the onlookers heard the prefect's words, they were all angry for Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao listened to the prefect's words, but there was no anger on his face, and he said lightly, "So this king invited another person to come."
The prefect's heart rose again.
As soon as Shen Zhao finished speaking, Zhao Shuling came.
"The ministers see the prince and the princess." Zhao Shuling hurriedly saluted Shen Zhao and Sheng Qingyuan.
"It's hard work, Lord Zhao has made this trip." Shen Zhao said to Zhao Shuling lightly.
Zhao Shuling saluted Shen Zhao again and said, "This is what a minister should do."
Sheng Qingyuan handed over the account book to Zhao Shuling's hand, and said to him seriously: "Then the next matter will be handed over to Lord Zhao, I hope that Lord Zhao will carefully check it, and he must return the people to a life where they can live and work in peace and contentment."
In the end, Sheng Qingyuan emphasized, "I hope that adults can remember one thing no matter what, the people are the foundation."
Zhao Shuling's eyes flashed with surprise.
After Sheng Qingyuan finished speaking, he left with Shen Zhao.
The people took the initiative to make way for them, and when they looked at them, their eyes were full of gratitude.
If all the corrupt officials in the prefect can be arrested, will their lives be a little better?
The prefect hurriedly said to Zhao Shuling, "Lord Zhao, Brother Zhao, we ......."
"Come on, take them down!!" Zhao Shuling closed the account book in his hand and said sharply.
When the prefect heard this, he was dumbfounded: "Lord Zhao, you, you can't be like this, we, we ......."
Without waiting for the prefect to finish speaking, Zhao Shuling immediately asked people to block his mouth.
Zhao Shuling said to all the people, "Please rest assured, this official will definitely give you an explanation."
Everyone listened to Zhao Shuling's promise, but there was a bit of distrust on their faces.
Someone couldn't help but ask loudly, "How long will His Royal Highness King Jing and Princess Jing be in our Qingcheng?"
"Before His Royal Highness King Jing and Princess Jing leave, can there be a result?"
Compared with these officials, they were still more willing to believe in Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao.
At least during their time in Qingcheng, they took good care of the people, and gave many people with difficulties at home a stable job, helping them with practical actions, and this help was very meaningful.
Giving money can only solve the temporary urgent need, and the money will be gone when it is spent, but if you have a stable job, then you have a stable income, and you don't need to worry so much.
Zhao Shuling couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise in his heart when he listened to the echo of the other people.
King Jing and Princess Jing have only been in Qingcheng for a long time, why do those people believe in them so much?
Zhao Shuling remembered the last words that Sheng Qingyuan said to him just before leaving, and he understood a little in his heart.
The people don't think too much about intrigues, their world is very simple, and they know very well which superior is really good to them.
Zhao Shuling once again promised everyone: "You can rest assured that this incident will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation as soon as possible, and the choice of the new prefect of Qingcheng will also learn a lesson and consider it carefully."
The words have been said to this point, and everyone has nothing to continue to say, so they can only disperse in twos and threes, what should they do.
"My lord, Lord Wang said he wanted to see you." The entourage said to Zhao Shuling.
"See what? Let him stay first!!" Zhao Shuling said impatiently.
Looking at the account book in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
He knew that Wang Qinhui was greedy, but he didn't expect him to be so greedy!!
Don't talk about the people, even he can't stand it!
King Jing also watched this matter personally.
Although King Jing has no real power, he is the prince after all, and judging from the identity of the person who was willing to come to prove for King Jing at that time, the old ministers still recognized King Jing.
In case, later......
Looking at the detailed account book in his hand again, Zhao Shuling's brows furrowed even tighter.
To be able to take out such an account book in such a short period of time, King Jing is not simple.
In a short period of time, Zhao Shuling's heart had quickly crossed many thoughts.
Zhao Shuling continued to look at the account book in his hand.
After reading it, an idea was slowly firmed.
Zhao Shuling called his own people and explained some things.
Listening to this, the attendant looked at Zhao Shuling puzzled: "My lord, what are you...... Are you going to give up on Lord Wang?"
"Give him up?! He's the one who blocked his way!! You go and look at the people outside, and if you want to forcibly keep Wang Qinhui, do you think you can still leave Qingcheng intact?" Zhao Shuling said angrily.
The attendant didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurried to do it after answering.
Zhao Shuling looked at the things in the account book again, and his brows furrowed more and more.
I was going to go out, but I looked at the official uniform on my body, and then I went to change into civilian clothes and go out.
Zhao Shuling walked and walked to the door of Zhushan Fang.
At this time, Zhushanfang has not yet opened, but there are already many people around here.
Most of the people still can't recognize Zhao Shuling's face, they just think that this is a scholar with a face.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Shuling asked curiously.
Surrounding a shop that hasn't opened yet, what's there to see?
The people explained with a smile: "This is the shop opened by Princess Jing, because of this shop, our family won't have to worry about running out of food in the future."
Zhao Shuling raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "Why do you say that?"
The other people next to him said, "Look at you, you're a foreigner, aren't you? We here, because the tax is too heavy, many shops don't hire people to work, and those fields are mortgaged to the government because they can't pay the taxes, so we have no land, and we have no place to work, except for death. But when the princess came, she gave us the opportunity to work and take care of what we ate."
"Yes, yes, and I heard of the king
The concubine's shop is different from the shop next to it, so we are very curious, and we also wonder if we can help the princess." The people said one after another.
"The princess is such a good person."
Zhao Shuling asked, "Just ask you to work, even if you are a good person?"
The people immediately glared at him, "Look at your appearance, the family is not bad, of course you will not understand our situation!" If you can't even eat, at this time someone gives you a long-term job so that you can make money, and you eat so that at least you don't starve to death, this person is not only a good person, but also a great benefactor!"
The rest of the people chimed in.
It's just that some people sighed: "It's just that the princess can only provide a little work after all, and it is impossible to invite all of us, if the prince and the princess can have more power, then maybe they can do more for our people."
"Shhhh You can't say that."
"If you don't give us a way to live, you can't even speak, and you will force us to die." After the man finished speaking, he left with a stomach full of dissatisfaction.
"Look at you, I didn't mean that, eh, you go slow down and wait for me."
Listening to the people's evaluation of Sheng Qingyuan, Zhao Shuling's perception of her was different.
It seems that this commoner princess in everyone's mouth is not a simple person.
Zhao Shuling followed everyone's eyes again, Sheng Qingyuan, who had just been indifferently in the public court, came to the shop at this time, and was introducing the drawings in his hand to the master how to change them.
Just looking at the way she looks now, it will make people think that she is a person of noble status, but at the same time, she is not a high-ranking person, she has a natural affinity in her, and the guys next to her are obedient to her words, and when they are busy, they also have a smile on their faces.
Sheng Qingyuan noticed Zhao Shuling's gaze and turned his head to look at him.
The moment Zhao Shuling and Sheng Qingyuan met their eyes, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then bowed their heads to her, which could be regarded as a salute.
After Sheng Qingyuan and the master clarified the things on the shop, they returned to the back.
Zhao Shuling was also about to leave, but as soon as he walked out of the crowd, Xuan Yu walked up to him and said to him, "If the adults want to see the princess, the princess is waiting for you at the back of the courtyard."
Looking at the Xuanyu in front of him, Zhao Shuling's eyes deepened.
He is also a martial arts practitioner, so he knows very well how high the martial arts of the person in front of him is.
At least, if the two of them were to fight, he wouldn't have any chance of winning.
King Jing and Princess Jing are even deeper than he imagined.
"Tired." Zhao Shuling still chose to meet Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao.
"Lord, princess."
"Sit down." Shen Zhao said to him lightly.
Sheng Qingyuan sent a cup of freshly brewed tea to Zhao Shuling.
"Thank you, Princess." Zhao Shuling hurriedly said.
"Lord Zhao has finished dealing with Wang Qinhui's affairs?" Sheng Qingyuan asked with a faint smile on his face.
"Not yet, there are some things that need to be investigated and verified." Zhao Shuling said truthfully.
Shen Zhao asked lightly, "Lord Zhao thinks that the account book given to you by the princess is wrong?"
Zhao Shuling hurriedly said; "No, it's just that the account book given by the princess is a sorted account book, and if you want to convict, you need the original account book, which is the most direct evidence."
