Every year, the imperial court would allocate a considerable amount of money, and when wealthy merchants from all over the country did charity, they would mostly focus on the three local courts first.
So much so that even when the national treasury was empty, this philanthropic act was still maintained.
Although the Beiminsi has a low presence and many of its officials are not high-ranking, it still has some power. According to the court's requirements, they have to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice every year to inspect the three courts to avoid any injustice.
It is precisely because there are people checking that Ying Huaiji becomes even angrier.
"Your Highness, we... how dare we complain... The chief steward of our charity home is the brother-in-law of the director of the Ministry of Compassion! He always gets information in advance during every inspection... Moreover, once before, the inspector clearly saw Sister A Ming's injuries, but he pretended not to see them. He must have already made arrangements in private..."
"We really didn't mean to hide this from Your Highness. It's because... although we were sent here, we still have many brothers and sisters who grew up with us in Nanciyuan. If we spread nonsense to others, they will definitely suffer! And... they said that they have people here too, who will always monitor us..."
When he said this, Awu felt a chill on his back.
He wished he could shrink into a speck of dust so that no one could see him.
Ying Huaiji's face was frozen, he felt angry and ashamed.
Being angry, a good act, turned into a disaster.
What's shameful is that this is a world ruled by winners, and he is the crown prince of this world. Such a hateful thing happened right under his nose.
Xiao Cunyu...is a young man as pure as white jade.
He hopes that everything he sees before his eyes is clear and everything he holds in his palms is sunshine.
I was afraid he would feel sick at the sight.
"Get up," the prince exhaled. "I'll arrange for the recorder to come over later. You should explain everything clearly. What happened in the past? Whatever happened in the orphanage in the south of the city, no matter how big or small, you can tell him."
"Yes!" Ah Wu kowtowed again. "Your Highness... I know that the stewards would occasionally torture people to death. Every time someone died, the stewards would lie to us and say they were taken away by others to live a better life. We knew they were definitely murdered, but there was nothing we could do. We didn't even know where they were buried."
Ying Huaiji's pupils trembled. "All orphans in the Salesian Home must be registered with the Ministry of Revenue. If too many die, the Ministry of Revenue will probably send someone to investigate."
"We don't know... Sometimes young children are left unattended and die of illness. They will be replaced within two days, and still have the same name, but... they are obviously different..." Awu didn't understand this either.
Ying Huaiji felt as if he had experienced a huge earthquake.
The Salesian would find another child to replace the dead child, but if the child was an older girl, her identity would be difficult to replace.
So, there are problems with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Revenue...
Xiao Cunyu watched from the side, she knew that these were not things she could get involved in.
The prince takes care of matters concerning the living, and she is responsible for taking care of the dead.
for example……
The missing body that Awu mentioned.
The prince's face was gloomy and he looked more and more distant. Xiao Cunyu was so frightened by his unhappy temper that he dared not say a word. He just stayed beside him obediently, being unusually well-behaved.
