"What do you mean?" asked the crown prince.

Qin Yue pondered for a moment, "Someone said to me: Things in this world are extremely complicated, and some things, even if you see them with your own eyes, even if you hear them with your own ears, even if you touch them with your own hands, they may not be true. Now I have a further realization: nothing is as simple as it seems, and everyone may have this or that kind of hardship. ”

"If you have a hard time, can you take people's lives?" the prince shook his head.

"Sometimes, it is also up and down to force performance, everyone is afraid of losing their jobs, after all, everyone has to eat. In other words, it is not easy for anyone?" Qin Yue replied.

Listening to Qin Yue's words, the crown prince stood up and walked around the house, "Miss Qin, I know what's going on? Once, my father overheard one of his eunuchs complaining, saying that the official mansion in his hometown couldn't solve a single case, and my father wrote down the place where this eunuch's hometown was located.

"At the end of the year, when the officials were assessed, someone was sent to check the situation of solving the case in that place, and the eunuch really said it well. So the father was furious and asked for an increase in the detection rate of officials in the annual evaluation. That is, how many cases have been accepted in a year, how many cases have been solved, and what percentage of the number of cases solved has been compared to the total number of cases? Layer by layer, the lower it is, the higher it will be. ”

"No wonder?" Qin Yue suddenly realized

"What's the wonder?" asked the prince.

"Is there a record of not solving the case that Lin Catcher wants to create?" Qin Yue said.

"Could it be that at the bottom, the crime solving rate has increased to 100 percent?" the prince smiled bitterly.

"Maybe it's the target set by the above, or maybe it's because they don't have to raise the whip themselves. Qin Yue smiled.

"Okay, it's not easy for everyone, I see what you mean. By the way, Miss Qin, didn't you come to me just to tell me these things?" asked the crown prince.

"Yes and not exactly. Qin Yue replied.

"What does Miss Qin mean?" the crown prince wanted to hear the details.

Qin Yue then told about her experience of begging people everywhere after returning to the capital, telling her that she should not do it every day, and shouting that the earth is not spiritual. I had no choice but to ask the prince for help.

Qin Yue didn't say that it was Chen Peijun's idea for herself, for fear that it would affect others.

After listening to Qin Yue's words, the crown prince pondered for a moment, "I know, it seems that I am going to Fengyu County recently?"

"Really?" Qin Yue was ecstatic.

"I went to Fengyu County, but it has nothing to do with what you said. I've heard people say there's a great place to go. According to legend, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous scholar Tian Chou was not rewarded by the emperor, and lived there in seclusion, so he got the name Tian Pan Mountain; And because she is located in the east of the capital, she has won the reputation of "the first mountain in Jingdong" in our dynasty. It is said that the scenery is very unique, a group of Jiangnan scenery. My imperial grandfather was very fond of it and visited Panshan nine times. I've been admiring it for a long time, but I just couldn't make it. This time I went to Panshan and toured the mountains and rivers. An elusive smile appeared on the prince's face.

"Really?" the two of them smiled at each other.

When the crown prince of the dynasty didn't seem to go to Panshan this time, because it is recorded: he visited Panshan for the first time after ascending the pole, and left a famous sentence "I knew that there was Panshan, why bother to go down to the south of the Yangtze River." In other words, You Pan Mountain should be something after he ascended to the pole.

"By the way, Miss Qin wrote the names of several people to me. The prince said as he took the pen and paper.

Qin Yue took the pen and wrote on the paper: Tang Chuanwen, Jing Shouyi, and Lin Quanyou.

"What's that magistrate's name?" asked the prince.

Qin Yue shook her head, she really didn't ask what the name of this county official was?

"It's okay, I can know the name of this county official. ”

When the prince said, he picked up a pen and wrote the words "Fengyu County Magistrate" on the paper.

"Xiaomindai for those who have been wronged and will not be wronged again because of this, thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Qin Yue clenched her hands into fists.

"Miss Qin's words are wrong, but I should thank Miss Qin on behalf of the imperial court and help my court to correct these unjust cases. "Wave your hand at the prince.

As he was talking, Gonggong Li walked in with a stack of dossiers, "Tell the prince, this is the piece that the Lord Banzai brought over, and His Royal Highness the Holy Lord ordered him to review it on his behalf." “

"Okay, let's put it there for now," the prince pointed to the desk.

Gonggong Li put the case and withdrew.

Thinking that this time he didn't come in vain, seeing that the prince was very busy, Qin Yue got up and said goodbye.

"Miss Qin is not in a hurry, I just have something to ask the girl?"

Qin Yue sat down again.

"Miss Qin said last time that your father-in-law Li Rugang was a general in Shangzhou, and I have paid more attention to the situation in Shangzhou recently. Your father-in-law is good! He has a good reputation from top to bottom. In particular, in the suppression of bandits in Shangzhou, he made great contributions to ensuring the stability of the party. ”

Listening to the crown prince commending his father-in-law, Qin Yue was very happy.

However, she feels that as a righteous daughter, she should be humble and low-key, "My father-in-law often said that as a general, it is his duty to keep one party safe." ”

When the crown prince nodded, "I heard from the state government that in the suppression of bandits, Miss Qin has made great efforts. In Shangzhou, the women of the rivers and lakes are also in full swing. I heard that the local people were as respectful as bodhisattvas. I also know that the women of the rivers and lakes, who are peaceful and good, are also well-known in the capital, and I am very proud to have a friend like Miss Qin!"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have praised it falsely, and it is also the duty of our martial arts students to eliminate harm for the people. ”

I didn't expect the crown prince to know so much? Qin Yue was a little surprised.

"I also know that a few days ago, the rebels under the banner of the so-called opposition to the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty actually forced Li Rugang's troops into a desperate situation. It was Miss Qin who led the martial arts righteous warriors to rescue Li Rugang's troops.

"I want to know, how powerful are these rebels? Because after seeing Shanglu, their previous plot in the capital was crushed, annihilating so many of them, arresting so many of them? A few days ago, they smashed their riot in Yingtianfu, and annihilated so many of them? Arrested so many of them? Also a few days ago, in Zhashui, they destroyed their headquarters, and they also annihilated so many of them? Only this time it seems that no one was caught.

"I'm really worried, are these traitors really so powerful? I know that Miss Qin has dealt with them, and I am not compatible with them, I want to hear what Miss Qin has to say?" asked the crown prince.

Qin Yue thought for a moment, "This organization does have a certain amount of energy, but it is by no means as terrifying as the legend?"

"What does Miss Qin mean?" asked the crown prince again.

Qin Yue thought for a moment, "First of all, the battle reports that the prince said have a lot of false reports, especially how many people are annihilated, and the water will be greater. From top to bottom, everybody knows what's going on? everybody pretends to be confused. This greatly exaggerates the power of this organization. I just guessed about the capital and Yingtianfu, and I knew it completely well, and the officials and soldiers didn't even see the shadow of the rebels. ”

"How can this be? how can this be?" the crown prince was very angry.

"The top wants the record, and the bottom does what it likes. Qin Yue said.

Listening to Qin Yue's words, the crown prince fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said, "I know what's going on? That time, an official was in the court to report on the suppression of bandits. It's a lot, a lot of it. For example, many rebels were eliminated and a lot of supplies were captured. My father asked, "How much is this?" How much is it? What exactly is the material?

"But is this wrong? If you are asked to report the number, you can report the number, why should you report the false number? Why tell a lie?"

"Of course, the bigger the number, the better, and the more brilliant the results, the better. Qin Yue said.

"Of course, the bigger the number, the better, and the more brilliant the result, the better, but it has to be true and not false?" said the prince.

"Since the bigger the number, the better, and the more brilliant the results, the better, if someone tells a lie and reports the number bigger, he gets a reward and is promoted. And some honest people report as much as they want, because they may be punished if they report less. Those who tell lies take advantage, and those who tell the truth suffer losses, and everyone naturally wants to tell lies; anyway, it is not difficult to tell lies. Just like the rate of solving cases, it must be that the higher the more you are commended, it is not easy to solve cases, and it is not easy to tell lies and handle fake cases?" Qin Yue was very excited.

"It seems that this culture of lying needs to be rectified. The prince pondered.

Qin Yue thought for a while, "If you think about it, you will do what you like." Wouldn't it be nice if the officials didn't look at their faces and liked to act, and concentrated on their own business?"

"It's good to focus on what you do. But the officials don't look at their faces or like to act? "Is that okay?" said the prince.

"Why?" Qin Yue asked.

"Does the emperor still have authority? Does anyone still listen to the emperor's words? This is the foundation of the country?"

Perhaps, the real tragedy is that the rise and fall of a country, and even its survival, depend on one person. Does a person have such a great effect? Should a person have such a great effect? Qin Yue remembered that she had read in a book that there was a system in ancient Greece. It is not up to any one person to decide what to do, but for the senators of the Senate to vote. Everyone together must be wiser than one person, and the decisions they make are definitely much more reliable than one person's final say? However, Qin Yue could only say these words to herself in her heart, she didn't want to offend the crown prince of the dynasty.

"By the way, Miss Qin, you just said that the strength of the traitors is exaggerated. Isn't it?" the prince pulled back to the original topic.

"Yes, however, this is not the main thing. Qin Yue said.

"What is the main thing?" the crown prince of the dynasty obviously wondered.

"The main thing: what they do is unpopular. Although the slogans they shouted should be in line with the wishes of certain Han nationalists and the old and young remnants of the previous dynasty, these people are in the final analysis a very small minority. The wind can't rise, and the waves can't be turned. Qin Yue said.

Why did Miss Qin say that?" the prince's eyes shone brightly.

Qin Yue then recounted the grievances and traumas brought by this organization to Changjia Village and others by collecting grain, and the support of the officials and soldiers led by his father-in-law in Changjia Village.
