"Your Majesty doesn't know that the disaster of these two rivers is deliberately concealed by someone in this court, and for their own selfish interests, they deliberately put hundreds of people in fire and water!"

"Now the banks of the two rivers outside here have long been ruined, hundreds of thousands of displaced people have migrated, and there are countless people who sell their wives and pawn women!"

The governor of Liangjiang was already in tears, and his hands were trembling.

Chen Ju had inquired a little about this guy's background.

This governor of Liangjiang is regarded as a veteran of the two dynasties, and he was highly valued by the first emperor in the past.

It's a pity that because his temperament is too stubborn, the first emperor just let him stay in the field all the year round to manage river affairs, and never reuse.

In other words, this is also a small abacus of the first emperor.

Throughout the ages, there has been a huge deficit in the way of river management, and it is natural that corruption is rampant, and many officials have been able to eat a lot of money from it.

And the appointment of such a stubborn governor will naturally curb the wind of corruption.

"Nonsense!"

"Do you know what kind of crime you should be guilty of talking nonsense in the court?"

"As far as this king knows, in the past 100 years, the banks of the two rivers have been calm, and the imperial court has invested countless financial resources every year to build nearly 100 years of protection projects, how can it completely collapse overnight?"

At the same time, the king of Wei suddenly opened his mouth and shouted angrily in public, hoping that the governor of Liangjiang would not be allowed to continue.

"I also want to know about this, where has the real money invested every year gone? Why can such a large investment still lead to the flooding of rivers? Even...... I've never heard anything from me? ”

Xiao Yanheng's eyes were slightly condensed, and a cold light shot out of his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Yanheng really showed her part of the imperial spirit, even if it was the high King of Wei, she couldn't help but be silent at the moment.

"The sinner has something to say about this!"

"The criminal wants to sue Xiao Yuanqi, the court captain, for many years of corruption and dereliction of duty, he is the only one who embezzled 30 million taels of silver from Liangjiang Finance, and the other embezzled funds are even more numerous!"

As soon as the Governor of Liangjiang finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air behind him.

Chen Ju subconsciously blocked Xiao Yanheng behind him, and the next moment, a hidden arrow shot out from an unknown source, violently piercing the chest of the governor of Liangjiang.

I saw that before the governor of Liangjiang finished talking about this part of the earth-shattering thing, he had already fallen in a pool of blood, and he had lost his life in an instant.

"Arrows have been tempered with poison, but they are just ......"

Chen Ju leaned down and pulled out a short arrow that shimmered with frost from the Governor of Liangjiang.

Those eunuchs and guards also hurriedly stepped forward and protected Xiao Yanheng layer by layer.

Xiao Yanheng couldn't help but feel a trace of green tendons in front of his forehead, this was in the palace, and even more so in front of the public, it was actually ...... Someone can shoot a hidden arrow and kill a court minister in front of him?

Doesn't this mean that even her own life can be in the hands of others anytime and anywhere?

"There are assassins! Catch it now! ”

"Defend Your Majesty!"

Above the court, the civil and military officials were even more chaotic, some people rushed to hide, some people searched everywhere for assassins, and in a short time, a minister had already been pushed out and pressed directly to the ground.

It turned out that the person who shot the dark arrow was actually the new champion of the department a few years ago, and he was also a Hanlin academician who was only transferred back to Kyoto in recent years.

This person has a humble status, is not taken seriously, and has no prominent background, but he is such a person, but he has hidden poisoned arrows on his body, and has been lurking in the court waiting for an opportunity.

"Who instructed you?"

Xiao Yanheng's eyes were cold, and he was about to step forward, but he saw that this Hanlin academician directly bit off the tip of his tongue and killed himself on the spot.

After seeing this scene, the first thought that came to Xiao Yanheng's heart was not panic, but a strong sense of vice.

It was an indescribable feeling of nausea, and the whole person's internal organs were constantly convulsing and spasming.

This intense feeling of discomfort does not come from the tragic death of the person in front of him, but from ...... That kind of thick threat.

"This person has no background, and he won't kill people in public, the reason why he will use his life to do this is nothing more than that he doesn't want the matter of Liangjiang to be leaked out."

"And in that dark place, the one who controls this guy can't be a small role."

"It seems that even if today's matter continues to be investigated, there will be no progress, so it is better to go back first and then make other plans."

Chen Ju slowly came to Xiao Yanheng's side, spoke in a low voice, and persuaded Xiao Yanheng to return to the palace.

Xiao Yanheng was reluctant, but he could only wave his hand and signal others to take care of the aftermath, and he returned to the inner palace with Chen Ju.

Once today's events come out, it will definitely shock the people, and it will also make the officials of the court very frightened.

can assassinate the court officials in public, no one knows how many key characters like this assassin still exist, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be a big man who is enough to turn the clouds and rain.

"What do you think of today's events?"

Xiao Yanheng took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

"The matter of the two rivers involves a wide range of issues."

"Since the Governor of Liangjiang mentioned Xiao Yuanqi, the court commander, before the temporary period, why don't you bring Xiao Yuanqi to ask?"

Chen Ju then asked.

However, after hearing this, Xiao Yanheng couldn't help shaking his head.

Xiao Yuanqi ...... It's just a court lieutenant, and it's not a big shot. ”

"But he has another layer of identity, he is the righteous brother of the former emperor, and he also has a lot to do with the King of Wei, he saved the life of the first emperor when he was young, and because of this, even if he is just a court captain, he has always been respected."

"This kind of role, once he is arrested, it will definitely make many officials fearful, and they will pour into the side of King Wei."

Xiao Yanheng sighed lightly and reached out to pick up the nine-dragon pattern teacup on the table.

"The Disaster of the Two Rivers...... The case of corruption...... The Death of the Governor of Liangjiang ......"

"The assassination of the dynasty, and Xiao Yuanqi...... And also...... King Wei. ”

Vaguely, Chen Ju seems to have connected these things together.

"It seems that today's events are also inseparable from that Lord Wei."

"It's just that it can't start with King Wei now, if this case can be investigated, perhaps, not only Xiao Yuanqi, but also enough to cut off a lot of King Wei's wings in the court."

Chen Ju then opened his mouth and said what he was thinking.

Meanwhile.

Xiao Yanheng seems to have his own plans.

"It's inconvenient for me to do this kind of thing, but you're different."

"You are just a petty official in the palace, and you have nothing to do with those guys, if you can go to the secret investigation, maybe, you can make a better breakthrough, and it will not attract more people's attention."
