After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 138 Fang Haichang's Concealment
Despite the contempt in his heart, Duke Huai still had a smile on his face:

"Is there anything good between us brothers? It's just a woman. It's just that I used this girl Jiaorui. I don't know if you dislike Youbei or not?"

After hearing this, Ning Youbei lost the last bit of brotherly affection for Duke Huai in his heart.

According to the rules of the Dayu Dynasty, officials were not allowed to take women from brothels as concubines, but it was not clearly stated that officials could not have sex with prostitutes.

If an official sleeps with a brothel woman, at most he will be impeached for being a bad official and a womanizer, but it is not good to directly push his official position.

It's nothing for Duke Huai to send him a girl from a brothel, even if he really slept with Jiaorui, at most he would be reprimanded by the emperor and then grounded to cultivate his mind and nature.

But if I don't know and take Jiaorui as my concubine, it will break the rules of Dayu Kingdom.At that time, those officials will read their own books. Although they will not lose the title of prince, they will be severely punished after all.

But King Huai clearly knew that Jiaorui was from a brothel, but he didn't tell himself. He was afraid that he wouldn't accept her, so he specifically said that she was a woman he had slept with, so that he wouldn't dislike her.

Obviously he himself dislikes Jiaorui because she was born in a brothel and has never touched her, and he deliberately uses lies to squeeze himself so that he can accept Jiaorui, how can he regard himself as a brother?
He doesn't give up until he kills himself!
However, Ning Youbei was just thinking about it in his heart, he didn't say these words, and he didn't express his dissatisfaction.

He can also act.

Ning Youbei asked Yanhong: "If I accept this girl Jiaorui, will your general have any objection?"

Yan Hong also cooperated with the performance.

"My lord: Since the general can let me serve you, she won't mind having another sister serve you."

Ning Youbei turned his head to look at Duke Huai.

"Youyuan, if you are willing to part with her, I will accept Miss Jiaorui. However, since you gave her to me, she is a member of Chu Palace, and you can no longer ask about her affairs. "

King Huai smiled and said:

"That's natural. Since my younger brother gave her to you, she is yours. Whether she is good or bad in the future has nothing to do with me."

Ning Youbei asked Ai Ai, "Then can you give me her deed together?"

"Natural, natural."

……

Amid the harmony, Jiaorui became Ning Youbei's person.

Qu Chu sat watching the two brothers play.Not to mention, they are all masters of acting!

One wished that the other party would take over the trick; the other half-pushed half-way to achieve his goal.

……

After dinner, Ning Youbei led everyone away.

When leaving, there were two more people.

……

This time, Ning Youbei didn't go to the coffin shop anymore, but went directly to Huaicheng City Lord's Mansion.

Lin Jianshen was already waiting for Ning Youbei at the City Lord's Mansion in Huaicheng.

Most of the officers and soldiers who went to arrest the officials have already returned, leaving only a dozen or so teams far away.

Qu Chu asked Yanhong to take Jiaorui and Chunxiao to rest first, while she stayed with Ning Youbei.

Ning Youbei ordered the arrested officials to be put in prison first, and officers and soldiers were sent to guard them, and then he talked to Lin Jianshen.

"Master Lin, the governor of Jianghuai is also a criminal, I ordered you to take someone to arrest him, how dare you?"

Lin Jianshen thought for a while and replied:
"My lord, the governor of Jianghuai is higher in rank than me. Without you, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for me to act rashly."

Ning Youbei thought for a while, "What if there is an arrest document from the Ministry of Punishment?"

Lin Jianshen replied: "If there is the arrest document from the Ministry of Punishment and the prince's letter, I will take someone to arrest the governor of Jianghuai."

Ning Youbei asked Qu Chu to fetch the arrest document from the Ministry of Punishment.

Before leaving Yudu, Ning Youbei brought a few blank arrest documents from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and just filled in the name of Governor Jianghuai on it.

Not only the blank arrest documents from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but also the blank documents on the appointment and dismissal of officials from the Ministry of Officials, Ning Youbei brought a few copies.

It can be seen that the emperor trusted him.

……

After the lord of Yuezhou City took people away, Ning Youbei and Qu Chu went to meet Fang Haichang.

Fang Haichang looked calm, as if he expected that this day would come sooner or later.

Although he and Fang Cheng often pinched each other in the court, Ning Youbei was not familiar with Fang Haichang, so he looked at Fang Haichang quietly.

"Lord Fang, I don't understand one thing. Your Fang family obviously has a prince, why do you want to go far to help others?"

Fang Haichang looked back at Ning Youbei calmly, "How does His Royal Highness Chu know that I am not helping the third prince?"

"Smart people don't talk dark words. I already have evidence of your embezzlement of salt tax money. Only you know where the money went. If you want to plant this money on the third prince, it's up to you.

But, do you have the heart to let the Third Prince take the blame? "

Fang Haichang stopped talking.

Ning Youbei said to himself:

"I know that your Fang family must have a huge grasp in the other party's hands to help him like this. Are you willing to give up your life?"

"Since the prince knows everything, why bother to ask more questions? No matter what you ask, I won't answer."

Ning Youbei didn't ask any more questions.

Fang Haichang knew that he would die, but he still had no hesitation. He could only say that the handle in the hands of the other party was enough to kill the entire Fang family.

That's why Fang Haichang used his own life to protect the rest of the Fang family.

What kind of handle is it?

Conspiracy?
Rebellion?

Or a spy?
……

After meeting Fang Haichang, Ning Youbei went to meet the other main persons involved in the case.

It's just that after rough interrogation of the Huai City Lord and several people, they didn't know much about the inside story, and they only said that they were following the orders of the Governor of Jianghuai.

Ning Youbei also interrogated the manager of the Pingshun Trading Company and imposed severe punishments, but the manager insisted that he was working with officials to resell grain, drive up prices, and profit from it.

Don't recognize anything else.

And the treasurer of Baoshun Bank knows even less, he is just a tool to help launder money.

Everything came to an abrupt end.

……

the other side

Jiaorui asked Yanhong: "Girl, I don't know what to call this lord?"

Qu Chu confessed to Yan Hong that if Jiaorui asked, she would tell the truth.So she said: "That's General Qu Chu Qu, who is also the concubine of King Chu."

Although she is in Huai City, Jiaorui is not a boudoir after all, she has heard of Qu Chu's reputation.

"Is that the general Qu who disguised himself as a man and defeated the wolf army?"

"Exactly".

Because she had seen through Qu Chu's identity as a woman long ago, Jiaorui had guessed something when she saw the King of Chu, and now she has a feeling that it is true after hearing it.

Seeing that Jiaorui doesn't look surprised, Yan Hong couldn't help being a little curious, "Aren't you surprised?"

Jiaorui smiled embarrassedly:

"To tell you the truth, I already knew that your lord is a woman, but I didn't associate her with General Qu before, but when I saw the King of Chu today, I guessed that it might be her."

Now, Yanhong was even more curious.

"How many times have you not met the general? How did you know she was a woman?"
