Chapter 617: I don't have any bad intentions.
Chapter 617 How can I have bad intentions under the official
"It seems that the lower officials have wrongly blamed the princess."
Xu Jinzhou was both happy and guilty, shaking his head and blaming himself for a while, and murmured excitedly: "The next official said that he would not misunderstand the person. The princess has defied the power several times, and has defended others. Lian Jingzhong The eldest princess can offend, so how can she ignore the lives of hundreds of thousands of Li people, all the lower officials are confused and wrongly blame the princess."
"There is no one layer of human beings that remains the same."
Seeing his self-reproach, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but tease: "I still like the rebellious appearance of County Magistrate Xu, only in this way, can I and His Highness dare to entrust Xu with peace of mind?" The county magistrate has a heavy responsibility."
"Heavy duty?"
Xu Jinzhou raised his head suspiciously, straightened the messy hair on his cheeks in a panic, and said puzzledly: "Your official is no more than a county magistrate, how dare the princess and His Highness value you."
"Xu county magistrate's arrogance is not what I saw at the mansion today."
Chu Nanzhi smiled warmly and said: "This Xing Huan is so bold that he dared to send someone to assassinate His Highness. His Highness intends to thoroughly investigate the entire county of Funing County. The county magistrate Xu came to the state capital defying all difficulties. Could it be that the reason is to be in the palace?" Are you saying these excuses in front of you?"
"Of course not."
Xu Jinzhou's face was serious, and he bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I implore the princess to decide the lives of 192,300 people in Tuyuan County."
"Okay, I have been instructed by His Highness to order you to be the chief inspector of the state capital, and go to the counties to supervise the disaster relief. No matter what method you use, I will allocate all the disaster relief money and food allocated to every county. In the hands of a disaster-stricken people."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him squarely, and asked solemnly: "Is Magistrate Xu confident to complete this arduous task?"
Xu Jinzhou saw that she was serious and didn't seem to be teasing herself, so she immediately fell into hesitation.
"Why, magistrate Xu dare not still feel that he is afraid of betraying the trust of my palace and His Highness?"
Chu Nanzhi frowned and asked.
Xu Jinzhou gritted his teeth, his eyes gradually showed an extremely firm look, he knelt down and replied sonorously: "To be so highly valued by the princess and His Royal Highness, even if the lower official is crushed to pieces, it will be difficult for me to report this. Live up to the mission."
"Okay, very good, Mr. Xu doesn't have to worry about going here, you can do it freely. My Palace and His Highness are waiting for Mr. Xu's triumphant return in the state capital."
"The next official takes orders."
Xu Jinzhou got up calmly, and the two looked at each other, both of them couldn't help showing the joy of admiring each other.
Chu Nanzhi can now roughly imagine the scene where the thorny head is full of guts, messing up the situation in various counties.
I don’t know how Tang Ru should respond.
Regardless of whether the governor of the Tang Dynasty intends to protect the officials involved in the incident, there is one thing she can believe now. With Xu Jinzhou supervising the disaster relief, the disaster situation in various places should be controllable.
There are parents and officials who don't care about their lives and want to plead for the people, surely they will not starve to death.
"Princess, there is no need to delay the matter. I am afraid that I can't delay here any longer. I have to go to the county to inspect the county immediately when the officials of Funing County come to the state capital to observe the ceremony, and search for evidence against Xing Huan and his henchmen."
Xu Jinzhou had made up his mind to cut off the wrists of a strong man this time, so he couldn't wait to ask.
"Okay, you are going back to Funing County secretly at this time, and you are caught off guard."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in agreement, and then told He Ying: "General He, you personally **** Master Xu to the coastal defense battalion, and ask Li Sanmu to recruit more clever soldiers to protect Master Xu's safety."
"The last general takes orders."
He Ying cupped his hands and took Xu Jinzhou away in a hurry.
In the dark commandment room, Chu Nanzhi also stood up slowly, and was about to move, but saw a jailer walking in mysteriously.
Guan Erbai looked at the boy who was hesitant to speak, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"
"Master Prisoner, the Xing prefect who was just escorted in said that he wanted to meet the princess."
The jailer then opened his mouth to report.
"Prefect Xing?"
Guan Erbai looked at Chu Nanzhi in wonder.
"Bring him here."
Chu Nanzhi ordered without thinking.
The jailer frowned: "Prefect Xing said he wanted the princess to go there, and said that he had something to tell the princess alone."
"It's unreasonable that a prisoner dares to ask for the princess."
Guan Erbai was furious, and just as he complained, he was stopped by Chu Nanzhi with a wave: "I want to see what tricks this prefect Xing can play."
Immediately called the jailer to lead the way, and only led Sang Qi to the cell where Xing Huan was held.
Because he is a serious murderer, Xing Huan is held in the deepest part of the prison, where the guards are the strictest.
The further you go in, the more dim and powerless the fires that are burning around appear.
Light footsteps stepped on the uneven stone slab, and the echoing footsteps were exceptionally clear, making the empty prison even more strange.
"Princess, concubine, I'm looking forward to you, please help me."
Chu Nanzhi was carefully looking around, when suddenly he heard a rush of voices from a dark cell on the left, and then a pale face appeared.
She fixed her eyes and could vaguely see the familiar figure.
"Prefect Xing, you are really bold and reckless, dare to assassinate His Highness, it really violates my trust in you."
Chu Nanzhi walked forward slowly, a stern look appeared in her clear eyes, and she stared straight at half of her face reflected in the crack of the prison door.
"If you want to add a crime, there is no excuse."
Xing Huan argued with reason: "Lian Yi is just a weak woman, how can she have the ability to assassinate His Highness, King Ping Ning wants to slander the official, the princess is a smart person, how can she not see?"
"Weak woman?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled sarcastically: "I'm afraid it might not be possible."
"It seems that the princess also wants to put down the official to death."
The last bit of luck left in Xing Huan's heart is slowly being extinguished, he always feels that this woman is not as easy to fool as she is, but now this woman is his last straw, he has to spend some time trying to trick her .
"I have admired the princess for a long time, and I have been thinking about it day and night in the county just to see the princess as soon as possible. How could the official murder His Highness maliciously and make the princess sad?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Xing Huan pretended to be affectionate and knelt down, holding the door of the cell with both hands, and said in detail sincerely: "Princess, do you still remember the incident in Haikang County? Back then, you and Your Highness sent Haikang County officials up and down. The ground is shaking and the people are panicking, but the officials turned a deaf ear to it and did not send anyone to stop it, so does the princess know why?"
"Why?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a cold smile.
His sudden change of countenance made it difficult for people to get used to it for a while.
"Xiaguan has seen a lot of things in the world in his life, but he has never seen such an intelligent and courageous woman as Wang Hao. Since the Luyan Port tax and bank case was spread, Xiaguan has always respected Wang Hao. I wish I could meet Wang Hao, the officials in Haikang County know they have been deceived, so they deliberately gave Wang Hao and His Highness some convenience, so that Wang Hao can solve the case smoothly."
Xing Huan lied unequivocally, if Chu Nanzhi hadn't been wary of this person, he would have believed his affectionate words.
also had no intention of trying to expose him, but Chu Nanzhi agreed with a smile: "So that's the case. From this point of view, the palace really made a mistake to blame the prefect."
"That's right, the lower officials don't have any bad intentions."
Commissioner Xing Huan had a sad face, and Qu Baba confided: "This official has good intentions, I really don't know why His Highness would slander this official."
