Gao Runiang frowned and thought for a long time, with an uncertain expression on her face, but she did not speak for a long time. Instead, she stared at Xia Zhi with a scrutinizing eye, as if she wanted to see through her.

Xia Zhi, however, was sitting aside with the presence of the old god. She could see that Gao Runiang was thinking about it and knew that this was not the time to speak.

Shaoqing, Gao Runiang decided to take a long-term approach and replied with a gentle attitude: "Thank you sister Xia Zhi and the prince for the promotion. However, this matter is of great importance. I have to consider it carefully. Let's discuss it later."

Hearing the slight looseness in her words, Xia Zhi smiled and said, "You deserve it, you can just come back to me after you think about it carefully."

Gao Runiang nodded slightly and walked out quickly.

Some people are in a hurry, while others are taking a leisurely stroll.

Over in Luoping County, Lieutenant General Xu spent a lot of effort, and his words were almost worn out, before he finally calmed down the excited people.

This place is indeed no better than a military camp. If he were in the military camp, he would have beaten them up with a whip, so how could he waste any time talking to them?

But this cannot be done to these people.

Only then did Magistrate Wu and Master Pang rush to the scene. It seemed that his belly was too big and he would be very tired if he walked too fast. Magistrate Wu asked lazily: "Hey, yo, are you here early in the morning?" It’s so noisy, what’s going on? Your Majesty, my Majesty, I listened to your orders and asked the villagers to move back. Why are there still no peace? How can the people live like this?”

Xue Jinruo became very angry when he heard these lazy words. When he turned around and saw Magistrate Wu's big belly, he became even more angry. I don't know how much people's fat and oil have been eaten in this belly. Not to mention, the meaning of these words is clear. It just puts all the responsibility on them.

"County Magistrate Wu, it's all because of you that the villagers are so sick." She sneered, "The accommodation on the mountain is too simple, which is why they were bitten by vicious mosquitoes, which triggered a 'discussion'. Besides, this matter has already been spread out, even people in the neighboring county have heard about it, but you two local parents and officials came here so slowly, maybe you don't take the people into consideration."

Magistrate Wu had never thought that there was such a hidden disease. He was speechless for a moment and could only focus on Master Pang.

Master Pang hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince, the lower officials, etc. really didn't expect that such a thing would happen. However, the mountain has always been fine. Why did there suddenly appear so many mosquitoes? I'm afraid that among them Someone did it deliberately."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xue Jinruo, clearly preparing to pass all the responsibilities on him.

"The people have always been well. Why did the prince say last night that there was no need for the princess here, and today the princess became the main force? This is a coincidence." Master Pang's tone was no longer as respectful as before.

He was originally afraid of Xue Jinruo, the regent princess, but Amber had been replaced by Sheng Jingze, and Xue Jinruo, the princess, existed in name only, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

"you……"

Xue Jinruo was about to argue, but was interrupted by Sheng Jingze: "Master Pang, are you planning to put all the blame on my princess?"

"I don't dare." Master Pang immediately bowed his hand and his attitude became respectful again.

Sheng Jingze was eager to wait. Although he now had the evidence of their embezzlement, he wanted to see how far these two people could defend themselves, so he asked the question he had asked many times before: "What did you do in the first place?" Why do you want the villagers to live in the mountains?"

Master Pang sneered secretly after hearing this, and thought to himself that he wanted to ask him a few more times to see if there was anything different in what he said each time. He was so naive, but he knew those words by heart.

He quickly repeated what he said before, and indeed every word was correct.

"My lord, even if I lie to someone, I will never lie to you." After saying that, Master Pang didn't forget to raise his hand, clearly showing that he was wholeheartedly thinking about the people.

Sheng Jingze clapped his hands and said in approval: "Not bad, not bad, it's really watertight."

Magistrate Wu put Master Pang behind him. He liked to see Sheng Jingze defeated.

But this time it was different. Sheng Jingze took out an account book from his arms and said: "According to what you said, Luoping County's tax revenue should be very poor in recent years, but there are black and white records in your account book. You made so many bets? Can any of you tell me where all the bad money went?"

Sheng Jingze first glanced at Magistrate Wu in front of him. Magistrate Wu immediately moved his eyes aside, not daring to look at Sheng Jingze.

"Master Pang, what do you think?" He took advantage of the situation and turned his eyes to Master Pang who was talking eloquently just now.

After Master Pang saw the account book, his face turned blue and white, and he lost all the momentum he had just now.

He quickly opened his mouth to defend: "Your Majesty, this is clearly someone who wants to put the blame on the official. The official and the county magistrate have worked hard over the years and never dared to make any mistakes..."

"Ha, Master Pang, you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin." Sheng Jingze sneered, and then winked at Xiao Yi behind him.

Xiao Yi came forward immediately.

He was holding a box of gold in his hand: "Master Pang, this box of gold was found from your home. If it were exchanged for silver, it would probably be more than 6 taels."

I don’t know which villager saw this box of things first. He immediately stood up and shouted, “That’s all our hard-earned money.”

Immediately afterwards, the people couldn't help crying.

Magistrate Wu's eyes were darting around. Now that Sheng Jingze had obtained the account books, it seemed that he knew everything they had done in the past few years. But just now he pretended to be confused and deliberately followed them in detours. It's illegal to let them dig their own holes and jump out of them.

Now that the hole has been dug, who jumps?

He made the decision almost instantly. Now he could only abandon the car to save the handsome man. He was still somewhat capable and could make the master live more comfortably in it. If he went in, it would really be a dead end.

After thinking about it, he immediately grabbed Master Pang's collar and cursed: "You're not living up to expectations, so you've done so many dirty things behind my back? No wonder you asked me to do something about the locust plague. It turns out you're just a fool." You do it to satisfy your own selfish desires."

"Your Majesty, all the subordinates have been deceived by him, Your Majesty." Magistrate Wu immediately knelt down and cried bitterly, as if he was the one who was really misunderstood.
