Meng Fanxuan stared at her, then on the map. With a solemn look on his face, he nodded. I am right here to analyze corruption! However what does it matter? “

Tune Xiangsi stared at him. With a frown, she stated solemnly, “Investigating these is harmful for you!”

It had been a very long time since anybody had cared about whether or not he was in peril or not. When he heard this, he could not assist however shiver.

“However there’s at all times somebody who’s the primary individual, is not there?”

Tune Xiangsi stared fixedly at his eyes. Her brows had been knitted tightly as she remained silent.

He circled, opened the window of his room, and seemed out on the passing pedestrians. “Do you bear in mind what you noticed in Chunhe County?” he requested in a low voice.

Tune Xiangsi nodded and likewise stood by the window, saying, “Once I first arrived, I noticed that there was an enormous hole between the wealthy and the poor. The poor could be hungry, whereas the wealthy could be stuffed with oil. This has nothing to do with you coming to Qinghe County to analyze corruption!”

Meng Liangxuan nodded and stated, “It is a comparatively rich county in Linshui. Each tax fee is made within the entrance row, and there are nearly no beggars right here. Many individuals have needed to enter this place.”

He out of the blue considered one thing and chuckled.

“I have been right here earlier than, you already know? At the moment, each commoner had a smile on their face. They might be stated to be staying right here at evening, and never like this. The commoners’ faces had been crammed with numbness. “

Tune Xiangsi’s face was incredulous as her expression turned critical. This might be stated to be a special world from the one she noticed. She had by no means seen it earlier than and didn’t know that this place had as soon as been wealthy.

He went on, “However two years in the past, floods and droughts continued to happen on this a part of the world… Due to this, many commoners have failed to attain harvest. With a purpose to alleviate the scenario, royal father even lowered taxes! “

Tune Xiangsi nodded inwardly when she heard what the emperor had performed. He was not unhealthy, he even knew the right way to take into account the lives of the widespread folks, deducting taxes. As his topics, their lives ought to be fairly good.

“Even when the droughts and floods occurred one after one other and had been mitigated by the emperor’s insurance policies, we found that the tax income was slowly reducing. By the start of this 12 months, we couldn’t even make ends meet. The emperor is discovering that there’s a downside right here.”

At this level, Meng Ling Xuan paused for a second as if he was contemplating whether or not he ought to reveal what occurred subsequent.

Nevertheless, Tune Xiangsi did not appear significantly . She leisurely poured a cup of tea for each her and Meng Ling Xuan, and knowledge flashed in her eyes. She slowly stated, “So the Emperor despatched you right here to analyze?” Nevertheless, the emperor did not ship anybody however you. Aren’t you the little inheritor to the Dingyang Property? Sending you right here to analyze this matter would not be a waste of your sources, would you? “

Seeing how she regarded him, Meng Ling Xuan could not assist however chuckle. He picked up the cup she was consuming and performed with it. “Then why do you suppose the Emperor despatched me?”

Tune Xiangsi paused for a second as she poured the tea. She checked out him in shock and thought for a second earlier than him with a smile that was not a smile. She didn’t say something.

Quickly, this phrase pale. The 2 of them didn’t communicate of this matter, and Meng Fanxuan’s eyes held a touch of a smile.

He turned a blind eye to her actions simply now and continued, “Certainly, it is a waste of time, however the officers that had been despatched out had been the entire identical motive. We are able to solely examine what the county governor of Qing He County needed them to see, and what he described was the scenario of poor residents.

When he spoke of those officers, he recalled the scene he noticed within the brothel. In a match of rage, he crushed the teacup, and the remnants of the glass reduce his palm.

When Tune Xiangsi noticed the blood on his palm, her eyes confirmed slight dissatisfaction. Grabbing his hand, she gently wiped the wound with a handkerchief.

He was nonetheless immersed in what he had simply found, and he nonetheless felt a way of frustration in his coronary heart. When he got here again to his senses, he felt the heat of his hand being grabbed.

After being launched, he checked out her with a glimmer in his eyes. With a playful smile, he stated, “I’ve additionally come beneath the orders of the Emperor to secretly examine this Qing He County.”

The nook of Tune Xiangsi’s mouth curled up barely. His eyes had been vivid, and he didn’t ignore the truth that he was right here to analyze on the premise of the emperor’s life. After speaking for therefore lengthy, he nonetheless did not clarify why he got here right here to test on the weapon.

Meng Ling Xuan seemed up and will see her vivid eyes. He sighed to himself as he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. Along with his eyes barely closed, he appeared to be resting.

Silence reigned within the room.

“I initially didn’t want to implicate you. Nevertheless, it could appear that I’m not able to controlling you.” Meng Ling Xuan out of the blue seemed up and stated as he checked out her face tenderly.

Listening to this, Tune Xiangsi smiled evenly. “It appears that evidently I’m on the identical boat as you now. Your Highness, it’s important to take extra accountability and defend a weak woman like me.”

The 2 of them smiled at one another, as if they’d seen one thing humorous. The extra they laughed, the happier they grew to become.

“Cough cough!” “In fact!” Meng Fanxuan’s face was barely pink as he stated this. He took a pouch from his waist, frowned barely, opened it and collapsed on the desk.

He noticed some scattered iron filings and iron items poured out of the pouch. Clearly, they weren’t from the identical piece of iron.

These things piqued Tune Xiangsi’s curiosity. She raised her eyebrows and swept her gaze over Meng Ling Xuan’s brows. She thought for a second earlier than slowly asking, “Do these metallic items have a reference to Qing He County?”

Meng Ling Xuan picked up a bit of metallic and took out his personal weapon, handing it over to Tune Xiangsi.

Tune Xiangsi took the merchandise from his hand and checked out it in confusion. Then, she took a cautious have a look at the merchandise in her hand and requested softly, “May it’s that this iron got here from Qing He County?”

“I am undecided, however there was certainly somebody holding such a weapon within the capital some time in the past. For some motive, I obtained some weapons and discovered that they had been produced in another way from those I used. The weapons had been strictly managed, together with the supplies and folks to forge them.

Tune Xiangsi contemplated for a second earlier than out of the blue bursting into laughter, “Maybe I do know now.”

Meng Ling Xuan was captivated by her sensible smile. It was utterly totally different from the bashfulness of a woman from a noble household, and in contrast to the tough methods of a lady from the martial arts world, it made him absent-minded.

“What are you aware?” Meng Fanxuan raised an eyebrow.

“So you’re right here to seek out the weapon! Qing He County has a major problem. Aside from corruption, having the ability to deceive others have to be an issue for you! “

Midway by his story, Tune Xiangsi out of the blue sucked in a breath of chilly air. She seemed extraordinarily shocked as she stared at him.

“Sure, certainly. Earlier than coming right here, we already found the circulation of weapons and suspected that somebody was promoting them. It’s even attainable for them to be making weapons. Nevertheless, after seeing the map that you just drew, we’ve confirmed this concept.”

A hint of ruthlessness and bloodlust flashed in his eyes as he stated coldly, “The folks concerned this time will probably turn out to be a sensation in historical past. These folks may also pay the value for his or her actions!”
