Chapter 1230 The Inspector, You Dog
Originally, Liang Chongyue didn't care what was written on the incriminating evidence submitted by the provincial inspector.
However, the system on the panel in front of him was laughing so hard it looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.
Unfortunately, it was muted, and in Liang Chongyue's eyes, it looked like a mad dog.
I don’t know if the system will frighten my mother, but even if Liang Chongyue doesn’t want to care, she has to.
"Tone it down, or Mother will think you've made people laugh."
After being prompted by its host, the system quickly looked up at the tightly closed window, then realized that it was being kept out of sight.
Finally, the system couldn't hold back its laughter and sent a copy of what it had seen to the host.
Liang Chongyue looked at the five-inch-long incriminating document, at least half of which contained dissatisfaction with Governor Zhang Duan.
The first page is about Zhang Duan.
The last page of the book I read still mentioned Zhang Duan.
Even when you open the next book, it's still him.
Liang Chongyue silently adjusted the evidence on the panel and carefully looked through it. There was only one book describing the Xie family's crimes.
The rest of the writing was done by Zhang Duan.
Liang Chongyue suddenly remembered that before Zhang Duan was transferred to Qiyang, he had been the current Provincial Surveillance Commissioner for seven years.
He probably thought he could be promoted, but unexpectedly, Zhang Duan was sent down from the capital.
They're all bad things, no matter what.
It's just dogs fighting, all they get is a mouthful of fur.
Liang Chongyue turned off the panel to avoid laughing out loud in such a serious setting.
Looking at Zhang Duan standing in front of the table, holding a calligraphy brush in his hand, he hesitated to make a move.
The provincial inspector, kneeling on the other side, would occasionally steal glances at him out of the corner of his eye, seemingly prepared for Zhang Duan to suddenly become enraged and rush over to fight him to the death after seeing the evidence he had written.
Qiyang is indeed an interesting place.
The scenery is beautiful, and the people are interesting too.
Liang Chongyue didn't stay there for long; he originally thought he could finish the investigation in another half an hour.
As a result, new evidence kept arriving from the secret guards, making it impossible for Liang Chongyue to concentrate on listening to the story.
Liang Chongyue then stood up and said to Fei He:
"I'm going back to my courtyard now. If you need anything, send someone to find me there."
Fei He quickly got up from his chair, ready to see His Majesty out.
The two walked to the entrance of the brothel. Liang Chongyue glanced at the dark circles under Fei He's eyes, took a liver-tonifying pill from her backpack, and put it into his mouth.
"I have ordered the two gates of Qiyang to be sealed off. The Xie family wanted to send the children out, but I stopped them and they were all locked up back in the Xie family. You handle these incriminating pieces of evidence and don't forget to send people to keep an eye on all places, lest they take it too seriously and insist on fighting to the death."
No one has a good outcome when they try to resist imperial power, and Liang Chongyue didn't want the Xie family to be destroyed so soon.
After all that trouble she's caused, there's still a big show to watch.
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. She can deal with what she has to do, but the Xie family's retribution is still on its way.
Fei He swallowed the pill given to her by His Majesty, a smile appearing in the corners of her eyes and brows, completely different from her icy demeanor in the brothel just now.
“My lady, you don’t need to take this to heart when you go back. Li Yu’an and I will handle everything.”
Throughout the journey, Liang Chongyue did not touch any political affairs. After leaving the capital, Fei He had already gotten used to calling her "wife".
I spent all night checking the accounts, and there's still a group of Qiyang officials kneeling outside the brothel.
When Fei He called out "wife," his voice was noticeably lower, sounding somewhat immature.
This was a side of him that Liang Chongyue hadn't seen in a long time.
If it weren't for the messy affairs of the Xie family weighing on her mind, Liang Chongyue would definitely have chosen him to accompany her tonight.
"Alright, you can go back and get back to work."
Liang Chongyue took a few steps forward, and Ping An immediately drove the carriage over.
After getting into the carriage, Liang Chongyue lifted a corner of the curtain and saw Fei He still standing there watching her leave.
Over the years, we've gotten used to him like this. It's rare to see his youthful side. Liang Chongyue followed his slightly reddened earlobes and revealed a mischievous smile that only he understood.
Fei He watched His Majesty's carriage disappear around the corner before turning around and walking into the brothel.
He hadn't walked far when he saw the officials kneeling outside the brothel looking up at him.
Their eyes were full of the feeling that there was no hope left, but that didn't stop them from watching the show.
Fei He's face had already turned cold the moment she turned around, and a chilling gaze swept over her.
The officials immediately turned their heads in unison, their movements so synchronized it was as if they had practiced it.
Fei He wasn't afraid of them finding out about his relationship with His Majesty. He was a man, and to receive even the slightest bit of His Majesty's favor was an unparalleled honor for him.
But he didn't want His Majesty to be criticized for favoring a ruthless secret guard; who knows what kind of rumors would spread about him in future generations.
No need, he understands on his own.
Fei He walked toward the inner room, but before she could go in, she heard voices accusing and cursing each other inside.
Fei He pushed open the door and entered, where Zhang Duan and the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner were fighting.
The bodyguards nearby reached out to stop them, but it was clearly to no avail.
These two were exchanging insults so much that their families were flying all over the place.
Both sides were already facing certain death, and they were eager to say the most vicious things.
Fei He came in, but neither of them noticed.
With a single glance from Fei He, the guards released their grip, and before the next moment, the two were wrestling again.
It wasn't until Fei He coughed lightly that the two seemed to wake from a dream, and they separated without anyone pulling them apart.
"Sir...sir."
The provincial inspector reverted to his cautious and timid self, easily frightened by the slightest disturbance.
Everything that was supposed to be seen has already been seen, and what hasn't been seen yet will soon be presented to the adults.
Zhang Duan simply stopped pretending. He found it ridiculous to put on that cautious act now.
"grown ups."
Zhang Duan straightened his collar and bowed to Fei He.
Fei He responded and sat back down at his desk to begin organizing the account books.
It was as if they hadn't seen the two of them fighting to the death just now.
If it weren't for the tight schedule and heavy workload, Fei He could have leaned against the door for a while longer.
Now he just wants to finish this matter before dawn, so that he can present a perfect report to His Majesty when he wakes up.
"Don't just stand there. The contents of that incriminating evidence will be presented to the Emperor after dawn."
Mentioning that piece of evidence reignited Zhang Duan's anger.
That incriminating evidence was practically a guillotine tailor-made for him.
That damned provincial inspector, he embellished the story, fabricated accusations, and desperately tried to smear him, all to get him killed.
If it weren't for that document, the events of a few years ago might not have been investigated clearly, and he might have survived.
It's because of that thing, and the Xie family's penchant for destroying all evidence, that even if they kidnapped Old Master Xie to testify that he didn't do those things, it's still a problem.
With only witnesses and no physical evidence, His Majesty would surely not believe it.
