Chapter 664 Complaint
The emperor's face was ashen, but Xiang Lingqi still refused to give up: "Prefect Huang dared to do such a big thing just after he took office, so it can be seen that there is still a backer behind him! The previous prefect Jiang prefect was because his daughter fell in love with the people. The woman's husband first kidnapped the miner, and even tried every means to frame the miner!"

"Jiang Zhifu favored his own daughter, and the young lady of her family ended up in a cocoon and took the secret medicine of the palace to frame me, and then ruined that face, and people are crazy! When the matter was revealed, this is how Huang Zhifu is now! "

"Things between these officials have been going on since ancient times! If the prefect Huang is real, it is for the safety of Yancheng. Those of us who are protected by him are naturally willing to pay a little more tax! But now the world is peaceful, prefect Huang Doing so would be superfluous, and even suspected of extortion!"

The emperor said coldly with a gloomy face: "I remember that the crown prince came to Yancheng because he heard about the achievements of the magistrate Huang here! Could it be that my crown prince is also a liar?"

But Xiang Lingqi said lightly: "No matter what the daughters of the people say, the emperor will not believe it. After all, one is your own son, and the other is an irrelevant civilian woman! But hearing is believing, seeing is believing! Your Majesty It's better to keep a few people who are secretly protecting, and watch a large number of people go to Lu's courtyard first!"

"The emperor and Concubine Yan followed the women from the gate of the city to the courtyard of the Lu family! Then go ask those people who live and work in peace and contentment according to Huang Zhifu, and see what they say!"

The emperor nodded. The scene at the gate of the city shocked him very much.The soldiers who used to protect the people have become blackmailers.

The emperor wanted to get off the car, no one dared to disobey, this matter must be kept from Concubine Jia.So Concubine Jia, who didn't know the inside story, followed the carriage to Lu's house, and the Emperor, supported by Concubine Yan, started to walk on the street.In the dark, dozens of guards guarded the side.

Xiang Lingqi led the way on one side. This time, she really thought that I was the emperor, so the places she took him to were places where the magistrate Huang oppressed the most, such as near the vegetable market.

Xiang Lingqi stopped in front of a mother and daughter in ragged clothes in the vegetable market, and squatted down.The emperor grew up in the palace and had never seen such a scene before, so he stood aside and watched with great interest.

When the mother and daughter saw someone coming to the door, they immediately raised their skinny heads: "Is Madam shopping for vegetables?"

Xiang Lingqi pointed to a pile of ordinary vegetables and asked, "Did you grow these vegetables at home? How much is a catty?"

The mother stretched out two fingers: "It's grown by myself! Twenty cents a catty!"

Although the emperor didn't know the sufferings of the world, he would still know the price of ordinary commodities. He stared at him and asked loudly, "You scumbag! The rice in the capital costs eight cents a catty, but your bundle of vegetables is actually expensive?" Twenty words! It's just bold!"

Xiang Lingqi rolled her eyes angrily, but she didn't dare to let the emperor see her. She turned her head to comfort the panicked mother and daughter and said, "It's been a month since I left Yancheng. Wenqian! How could it be doubled in just one month?"

Then the woman wiped her tears and said: "Madam, you can ask in this street, the price is already at this price! We have nothing to do! A month ago, the magistrate posted a notice, saying that the court has ordered , the tax has risen!"
