Chapter 951: The Princess Shows Her Power

"Let her wake up!"

The eunuch beside her hurried out to give the order, and soon someone brought a bucket of ice water and poured it on Concubine Gao's face.

The biting coldness woke the woman on the bed.

She opened her hazy eyes and finally saw a few people in front of the bed.

The woman opened and closed her eyes several times before she adjusted to the light in front of her.

"Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing the Emperor, Concubine Gao was so excited that her eyes filled with tears, "Your Majesty, I knew you would not give up on me. You came here to save me, right?"

"Your Majesty, please save me! Those people come to torture me every night!"

"Their deaths have nothing to do with me, why did they catch me..."

"Concubine Gao, how many people have you killed in the palace over the years?"

The Emperor suddenly spoke coldly. Concubine Gao was stunned for a moment and shook her head vigorously, "Your Majesty, don't you know my temper? Normally, I would not even step on an ant to death, how could I..."

This was a bit funny!

It's true...

"Haha, since those people's affairs have nothing to do with you, why would they come to you to claim their lives?"

The Emperor did not completely believe in the ghosts.

But our ancestors said it well, if you don't have any shameful thoughts, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. It is estimated that after being punished, Concubine Gao was weak and got involved with those dirty things.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Concubine Gao wanted to say that I didn't, but her hands were powerless.

The emperor looked at her coldly and turned away.

Concubine Gao struggled to get down and fell to the ground with a thud.

There was ice water on the ground, and Concubine Gao couldn't stand up at all. She crawled on the ground in a wolfish manner, and several places were bruised.

In addition, she already had injuries on her buttocks, and after this torture, she had a high fever again.

And this time, the emperor did not ask the imperial physician to come.

Poor Concubine Gao was lying on the ground, her body rolling in the hot water. None of the workers lifted her onto the bed!

...

"Baby, my father asked me to investigate the case of disaster silver embezzlement!"

Yuan Baobao had just returned to the Prince's Mansion and stayed there for a day when the Prince came over to say this.

Yuan Baobao rolled his eyes at her, "This is not my job!"

"Prince, when will your father's birthday banquet start? It's too boring here!"

The Prince hurriedly said, "Some ministers have been arrested, but most of them don't admit it. I also sent people to search their homes, but nothing was found!"

Yuan Baobao snorted!

[Only a fool would hide the embezzlement at home! ]

[Are you worried that you won't be able to find out if something goes wrong! 】

【If it were me, I would definitely look for the safest place! 】

The prince tilted his ears to listen, and finally found that it was almost the same as hearing nothing.

The little princess didn't say where the things could be hidden.

But think about it, there are seven or eight people who haven't found the dirty silver.

These people will definitely not hide in one place, and it is estimated that the little princess will have to look for them one by one.

The prince waved to Yuan Baobao, "Baby, there is something I want to discuss with you!"

Yuan Baobao snorted, "I don't want to listen!"

"There is a reward!"

Yuan Baobao's eyes lit up, "What reward?"

The prince looked at the people in the room, including Xiu'er, who had retreated.

"Now the emperor wants to thoroughly investigate the case of disaster silver embezzlement, but there is still a lot of stolen silver that has not been found. I was thinking if the two of us can cooperate!"

Yuan Baobao's eyes lit up, and she wanted to know what the reward was.

"You can secretly deduct 10% of the things you find!"

Yuan Baobao...

this, this, this... it's like pie in the sky!

You don't have to think about it, you know how much dirty silver there is!

Especially for the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, that is definitely a lucrative job!

In addition, Concubine Gao's family is estimated to have countless gold, silver and jewelry.

"Haven't you already searched their storehouses?"

Yuan Baobao asked tentatively.

The prince sighed, "Those people hid it too strictly. There are not many things in the storehouse. It's not even as good as the private collections of ordinary officials!"

The prince absolutely didn't believe it.

Yuan Baobao thought about it, and it made sense.

[What you said makes sense. If the government didn't find much, then the things they hid privately would be the bulk! 】

【Although I can only get 10%, it is not a small amount! 】

【The most important thing is, isn't it up to me to decide how much to take? I secretly take a little more, and they can't tell anything! 】

The prince's mouth twitched, he already knew.

But the little princess can take it if she likes, it's not his anyway!

【In fact, investigating corrupt officials is not the most important thing now, the most important thing is to quickly buy some food to the disaster area! 】

【The people there really can't hold on! 】

【If we don't go there, I suspect there will really be a big riot! 】

【Once the rioters over there become powerful, it will not be an easy task to suppress them! 】

The prince's face changed, what the little princess said was the top priority.

And now it takes time to collect food.

He can completely act separately on both sides.

"Little Princess, shall we start now?"

The prince said earnestly, and Yuan Baobao nodded, "I think you can buy food first!"

The prince quickly arranged for people to go down. With him bringing the emperor's order, even the wealthy businessmen in the capital would not dare to disobey, right?

It was the first time that Yuan Baobao came to the prison of the Wu Kingdom.

In fact, no matter which country it is, the cells are almost the same.

Looking at the densely packed torture instruments on the side, Yuan Baobao still felt his scalp tingling.

Yuan Baobao had never seen the prison cells in their country. Unexpectedly, he saw these horrible things here.

As if sensing Yuan Baobao's discomfort, the prince asked softly, "Baobao, why don't you go out first?"

Yuan Baobao shook his head, "Where are those people locked up?"

The jailer ran out quickly, "Your Highness, they are all in the cells inside!"

Yuan Baobao snorted arrogantly, "Lead the way!"

The man was stunned for a moment and looked at the prince timidly.

The prince hummed, "This is the princess, why don't you lead the way!"

The visitor...

only heard that the interrogation was handed over to the prince, but didn't mention that there was a princess?

But they have many princesses, and the prince would bring a princess here to play. If he is wrong, it should be a visit, or it is possible!

But he still thinks it is a bit strange, the princess's preferences are really special.

What is there to see in the cell, it is bloody everywhere.

The smell of blood is too strong, and most people can't stand it at all. But looking at the princess, her face is normal.

After walking a dozen meters inside, I finally saw small cells.

Some of them only have one person imprisoned, and some have a group.

Yuan Baobao saw a familiar figure, isn't this the one he saw in Yu's study that day?

Yuan Baobao stopped and the prince explained, "This is the Minister of Revenue!"

Yuan Baobao nodded at the old man, "He hasn't explained yet, right? How about starting from here?"

"Okay!"

the prince agreed.

Yuan Baobao's eyes rolled around, "Prince, how many people have you not explained yet?"

"Nine!"

Yuan Baobao smiled, "Then let the remaining eight people watch, and you can bring their relatives, the closest ones or the people they care about, with them!"

The prince glanced coldly at the jailer.

The man hurried out to make arrangements!
