Men's Petite Wife: Lord, Madam ran away again

Chapter 821 The Source of Ledger

"Second Highness, there's no need. This subordinate has sent someone to visit the homes of more than a dozen local officials, and they are all gone!"

"really?!"

"Exactly!"

"Lao Qi, you bastard, dare to trick me..." The second prince scolded bitterly, but he knew very well in his heart that it was not suitable to complain here at all, since the seventh prince and the people around The officials have already fled, so if he stays here, there is only one dead end.

If you don't pack up your things and leave now, when will you have to wait?
Of course, before leaving, there is one more thing that needs to be done quickly.

The second prince ordered his people solemnly: "Go, prepare pen and ink for this prince, I will tell my father about this in detail before leaving!"

The news must first reach the palace and let the emperor know. As for himself... as long as he reaches a safe place, he can slow down and leave here later. I planted myself in the back to control the water well, but in the end I really couldn't hold it anymore, so I thought about leaving the illusion.

In this way, wouldn't he be much better than that idiot Lao Qi?

The second prince thought of everything he could think of.

Soon, a memorial was written.

"Hurry up and send this letter to the capital as quickly as possible!"

"Yes! Second Prince, don't worry!"

After the memorial was sent away, the second prince's side was basically cleaned up. The second prince didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately took his people away cleanly.

It never occurred to them that after they left, the so-called flood showed no sign of flooding at all.

The situation of the second prince and the seventh prince is clear to the prince and others who are far away in the capital.

Because of Xie Jingliang's advance notice, the prince secretly paid close attention to this matter.

As early as when the Seventh Prince escaped, the Prince had received the news, and at this time, to the Prince, it was no different from a signal. The Prince directly sent the account book that Xie Jingliang gave him to the Emperor. around.

After the emperor saw it, he was very surprised: "Where did you get this ledger?"

If this is true, then the matter may be big.

The prince respectfully said: "My son got it by accident."

"How did you get it by chance?" asked the emperor.Everyone can see how difficult it is to make this ledger.

But now the prince said that he got it by accident. Where in the world are there so many accidents?This is a bit too much luck.

The prince then repeated what Xie Jingliang had said to him before, shaking Lu Xilin out.

"Lu Xilin is really a good official who wholeheartedly serves the people. I didn't expect that he could do this for the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Even I feel ashamed."

"Lu Xilin..." the emperor pondered, raised his eyebrows, "It's indeed a good one, but, have you made sure about the ledger and the dam?"

In this ledger, not only where each corrupt official's stolen money came from, but also where it is hidden, is clearly written, which is too careful.

The crown prince said: "I haven't found out yet, but as soon as I got this account book, I felt that the matter was important and I didn't dare to delay, so I just showed it to my father."

The emperor said: "Okay, I know about this matter, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

You don't have to take care of yourself?

What does this mean?
The crown prince did not express his doubts and dissatisfaction at all, but said respectfully: "Yes, my son obeys the order."

Regardless of whether he cares about it or not, the above things are true, and it is also true that Lu Xilin rebuilt the dam, otherwise, the two idiots, the second and the seventh, would not be with those people in the Jiangnan area. Like the magistrate, he chose to flee for refuge.

In other words, it won't be long before the emperor finds out that the account book is true, and he, the person who presented the account book, will follow suit to make a profit.

The prince now just needs to wait.

After making up his mind, the prince returned to the East Palace, waiting for his two silly younger brothers to come back from Jiangnan.

After the prince left, the emperor immediately called his hidden guards and went out to the south of the Yangtze River to check the contents recorded in the ledger.

Naturally, it was impossible for the emperor to hand over the contents of the entire ledger to the Yinwei, but he found a few random places for them to check.

By the way, I have to investigate the dam built by Lu Xilin again.

Nearly ten days later, the emperor did not wait for the news from his hidden guard, but waited for his two sons who fled back from the south of the Yangtze River.

Because the seventh prince escaped back one step before the second prince, the seventh prince also arrived in the capital one step earlier than the second prince.

Of course, there is also the reason why the second prince is deliberately dragging behind. After all, after leaving the dangerous area in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no need to hurry.

There was a memorial sent by the second prince in a hurry. The emperor already knew the situation in the south of the Yangtze River before the two princes returned to Beijing.

This made the emperor furious, and immediately sent someone to Jiangnan to check whether the second prince's memorial was true.

Soon, the emperor knew that the local magistrates actually ran out to take refuge, and directly treated the local people as outcasts. Naturally, the emperor also knew now that although the Jiangnan area was in the rainy season at the moment, , but there was no flood as usual.

In other words, the dam built by Lu Xilin played a key role.

It was precisely because he had learned the truth of the matter that the emperor was very angry.

As soon as the second prince and the seventh prince entered the boundary of the capital, they were caught and imprisoned. The two of them haven't figured out what happened.

When both of them arrived and were brought before the emperor, they finally understood what had happened.

"You two, shouldn't you be supervising water control in the south now? Why did you appear in the capital?" The emperor asked knowingly, with a gloomy tone, as if he wanted to eat people.

This was the first time the two princes saw the emperor's appearance, and both of them panicked immediately.

"Father, this is all Seventh Brother's idea! It was Seventh Brother who ran away first, and he didn't even notify the son. When the son knew about it, he thought the flood was coming soon, and if he didn't leave, it would be too late. There was nothing I could do about it, so I packed up my things and left. My son is also helpless..." The second prince immediately dragged the seventh prince out.

On the way here, the second prince had already thought it through.
