Sun Miaoke was stunned for a moment, biting her chopsticks and blushing, "Thank you, my lord."

At the same time, I was a little surprised and relieved.

Surprisingly, she really didn't expect that she would personally give her cloth vegetables.

What is reassuring is that his heart is not as cold as he appears on the surface, which also gave her confidence in this marriage.

King Rui nodded and didn't reply, but stretched out his hand to get enough steamed buns.

Sun Miaoke hurriedly said, "I'll come."

After finishing speaking, he brought the plate with steamed buns in front of him.

King Rui picked up one and put it in Wanli, bowed his head and started eating.

After that, the two of them didn't talk much, but they took care of each other more or less in their actions. For a while, the two of them got along quite harmoniously.

Seeing this, Qingtao on the side immediately walked out in the name of serving chicken soup.

After arriving in the courtyard, tears flowed down involuntarily.

To be honest, she always thought that the young lady could not let go of the young master Biao and could not get close to the prince, but now it seems that she is supercilious.

intrauterine.

Your Majesty, after eating the passable fried rice made by the imperial chef, said: "Lao Li, is Xiao Heng back?"

"Not yet, but in the morning, the old slave heard Chief Xiao say that he was going to the suburbs to find some victims."

"The victim?"

"Yes, I heard that because of the Cui family's usury, there have been many deaths in recent years."

"It's really a natural and man-made disaster." The emperor laughed at himself after hearing this.

When the situation was the worst in the past two years, even the emperor didn't dare to exploit people casually, so he could only make do with meat and vegetables every meal.

In the end, his Cui family is so good that he dared to amass money wantonly, which is an unforgivable crime.

It seems that we have to make an example to the monkeys, and give those servants a good beating.

Then he said: "Then keep an eye on it. If Xiao Heng comes back, let him come to see me as soon as possible."

"Yes, the old slave has written it down." Eunuch Li stepped aside after finishing speaking.

The emperor got up and went back to the side hall to rest.

After waiting until evening, when Xiao Heng came back, he handed over a thick stack of confessions to the emperor, saying: "Return to the emperor, I have already found out the crimes committed by the Cui family.

In the past five years, a total of 368 civilians died on the loan sharks released by the Cui family.

There were more than a thousand girls and girls who were resold by them to the Red Chamber, or even from other places.

There are also many families broken up and wives separated.

The total income is about 150,000 taels of white taels. "

"So, they not only lend usury, but also buy and sell women?"

"Yes, but what they buy and sell are girls and girls who owe money to others, and they don't dabble in other things."

"So many people have accidents, are their relatives dead? Why haven't they reported the crime for so long?" The emperor said angrily.

Xiao Heng sneered and said, "In the beginning, someone reported the case, but not only did they not get justice, but they were punished miserably, so no one dared to report the case afterwards."

The emperor understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and then asked: "Are the officials from back then still there?"

"Yes, one of them has entered the household department now."

"Okay, very good." The emperor gritted his teeth.

Then he ordered: "Arrest Yang Shicheng and those officials and send them to the Ministry of Punishment, and let me arrest all those who work for tigers, such as Mr. Wen and Brother Hu, and ransack their homes."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." After finishing speaking, Xiao Heng turned and turned to go out.

The emperor quickly stopped him and said, "Wait, do you have any clues about Yang Shicheng's corruption?"
