Chapter 128 I’m going to make a scene

There were five people in the room, Yinzhe and Liuyan were both there, and Canglan was acting strangely, so Qin Zhaoyue felt something was wrong.

"Why do you want me to stay in the city?"

In order to save trouble, Qin Zhaoqiong was really moved at the time and wanted to agree to his fifth brother's visit to King Rui.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yinzhe's voice message, saying that he had important matters to report and asked him to stay overnight in the county town.

Canglan did not dare to delay and immediately took out the three copper coins and told Queyu all the information and speculations he had obtained.

Qin Zhaoyue let out a long sigh and leaned lazily in the chair.

My goodness, theft and assassination are not enough, now there is also a case of counterfeit currency.

They were all major cases of house confiscation and family extermination, and I was caught up in them.

Unlike her lazy and numb appearance, Qin Zhaoqiong took a breath of cold air.

She weighed the three copper coins carefully. Ordinary people couldn't tell the difference, but in the hands of a fourth-rank warrior, she could immediately notice the difference in weight.

Bailu County was the fief of King Rui, but it was just an empty fief. He enjoyed the fief but had no control over the county affairs.

His most important job here was to supervise the copper mines and mint copper coins.

Prince Rui was the son of the late emperor's sister. According to folklore, he was the cousin of Qin Zhaoqiong and others.

It is not surprising to entrust such an important matter to the royal family. It is said that this prince was very romantic when he was young and never participated in court affairs.

It was also because of this that he was not liquidated fourteen years ago and was given an assignment and a piece of land far away.

Qin Zhaoqiong had met this person two or three times during his time in the palace, and remembered that he was always smiling.

He wasn't particular about formalities and was very caring towards the younger generations, but other than that, I didn't have any particularly deep impression of him.

But what about now? A nominal prince?

It's ridiculous that Bailu County is governed like a small Fengjing!

From the provincial governor and deputy governor to the neighborhood chief, military marquis, and villagers, they were all in cahoots.

"Is it related to the theft and assassination? Have you seen traces of the sorcerer?"

"Your Highness, Que Yu has not yet investigated.

Prince Rui's manor is heavily guarded, and she is temporarily staying in the neighborhood where there are guards and neighbors looking out for her, so she can't do anything."

What a helpless situation! Qin Zhaoqiong's chest heaved violently.

"Investigate, must investigate!"

At this time, she was really angry. The harm of bad currency was worse than a flood. It might even shake the foundation of the imperial court. It must not be tolerated.

But Bailu County is like an iron bucket. How to investigate? Where to start?

Yinzhe took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, you are now in charge of flood control. Wherever you go, everyone is paying attention. I'm afraid..."

Qin Zhaoyue, who was leaning on the chair, was shocked. What happened?

Before she could say anything, the eyes of the four people in the room were all focused on her.

"six……"

"Hey!" Qin Zhaoyue jumped up from his seat. "Why are you looking at me? I can't do this job!"

What a joke, look at how this county is run.

Even the people are defending it on their own initiative, why? It’s all because of their own interests!

A foreign woman had been in the city for less than ten days when the neighborhood leader acted as a guarantor, rented her a house and introduced her to some business.

They say that as long as you have a skill and aren't lazy, you can survive in this city. Where does that confidence come from?

This is because the city’s resources were integrated, the staff was greatly expanded, and information was communicated smoothly.

A shipload of dry goods can be sold by all the restaurants in the city, big and small, just by the help of local clerks. This is a good example.

If something happens, the provincial government's Si Cao will come forward to deal with the aftermath.

But where did the salaries of those clerks who were not on the imperial payroll come from? Where did his prefecture get this revenue?

It is said that interests are the most stable relationship, and Bailu County has achieved the ultimate.

The profits from minting counterfeit coins have probably formed a huge chain. The most amazing thing is that they did not completely conceal the news.

By giving benefits to the people, the entire county is tied together.

The more Qin Zhaoyue thought about it, the more frightened he became. This method that went against common sense had been running smoothly for fourteen years!

Fourteen years later, the imperial court hadn't heard a word of this? Even the Xuanji Guards didn't know. How could this be possible?

This is so fucking unreasonable.

This is not an ironware that was secretly cast, it is a copper coin.

Even if the provincial government keeps a close watch on it, these inferior coins will still circulate, from Bailu Prefecture to the whole world!

Qin Zhaoyue would never believe that there was no arrangement in Fengjing.

The people who are in charge are probably not just one or two, but definitely not ordinary people.

"younger sister……"

A call interrupted her thoughts and she shuddered suddenly.

Qin Zhaoqiong walked forward slowly and held her hands tightly, "Of course I don't want you to take any risks, but..."

Qin Zhaoyue stared straight into her eyes, "I have shed sweat for my elder sister! I have shed blood for my elder sister!"

"I know, I know..." Qin Zhaoqiong pursed her lips tightly, and she could hardly hold on under her sister's gaze.

But after taking three or five breaths, he still had to grit his teeth and speak:

"Sixth sister, the counterfeit currency involves the livelihood of the people and the country's capital. This case must be investigated."

"Yes, I have to check, but I can't let my sister check it..."

Qin Zhaoqiong hurriedly pulled her to sit down again. At this moment, he had already come up with some ideas.

How to investigate this matter is actually quite simple. It's nothing more than Prince Rui. He must be the source of the bad currency case.

But to make this matter true, we need evidence, and there is no more suitable place to search for evidence than King Rui's Manor.

Just as Yinzhe said, she was too big a target, and people would be watching her wherever she went, but Sixth Sister...

Those close to him naturally knew Zhao Yue's abilities, but others didn't know, so they were naturally less prepared.

"Sixth sister, you don't need to investigate the case yourself. You just need an excuse to stay temporarily at Prince Rui's manor, just like fifth brother."

Qin Zhaoqiong spoke with great sincerity.

This is probably the only good news. No matter what King Rui thinks, my fifth brother has already lived in the manor for ten days.

In this case, it is completely reasonable for the sixth sister, who is "greedy for pleasure, lazy and gluttonous", to imitate her fifth brother.

If it weren't for the last resort, Qin Zhaoqiong would never have been willing to let her sixth sister take risks again.

But this matter must not be spread. She didn't even plan to tell her fifth brother and Commander Meng. It was limited to the few people in this house.

Otherwise, if the news leaks out, it will be impossible to secretly collect evidence.

Qin Zhaoyue understood what her elder sister meant.

She had taken advantage of the original owner's personality before, but she didn't expect that this boomerang would hit her?

Qin Zhaoqiong looked at Liu Yan again. He had said nothing since entering the room, and immediately stated, "Your Highness, rest assured. I will be extremely cautious and carefully collect evidence."

The fact that this matter could be concealed for fourteen years shows that the local Xuanji Guards were completely corrupted.

If they fail to find out the truth, Xuanji Guard will also be severely reprimanded.

"That's not what I meant," Qin Zhaoqiong winked quickly. "What I meant was that if anything unexpected happens, you must protect Zhaoyue. Her safety comes first!"

"Yes, I will obey your orders!"

Qin Zhaoyue rolled his eyes.

What are they doing? Teaming up to bully a child? Do they think she's stupid?

I’m going to make a fuss. This girl is going to make a fuss!
