Chapter 3735 Princess Nine Marries Tianhai County
After lunch, Mrs. Sun was once again surrounded by women such as Planning Dayun, Bao Suyun and so on.
They had been friends for half their lives in the village and were old sisters.
Sun's trip to the capital lasted more than eight months. They were really not used to having one less person to talk to in the village.
It's rare for the assassin Sun to come back, so they will definitely have to ask around Sun about a lot of new things happening outside.
As for Mrs. Sun, she has been thinking about these old sisters in the village and has been holding back her urge to come back and talk to them.
Although Xiaohua, Xiaoduo and Xiaojie can all talk to Mr. Sun, they are juniors after all, so it is more enjoyable to talk to their peers together for some things.
Yang Ruoqing and Da'an both knew that Mrs. Sun had been holding back for a long time, so they encouraged Mrs. Sun to visit the family often.
Xiaohua slept with Feng'er, while Yang Ruoqing went to the study room with Luo Fengtang and Daan to talk.
After arriving in the study and closing the door, the first thing Yang Ruoqing paid most attention to was Luo Fengtang's visit to Beijing.
"I never bothered to ask before, Tang Yazi, why did Qi Xingyun call you to Beijing this time?" she asked.
Without Luo Fengtang saying anything, Da'an said first, "Sister, why are you calling the emperor by his first name? It would be terrible if someone with a heart hears this."
"It's just the three of us here. There are no outsiders, so we're not afraid." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
"Besides, I used to call him by his name all the time. I'm used to it. I will change my words outside." She arrived.
Daan then nodded with relief.
Yang Ruoqing was able to return her gaze to Luo Fengtang and looked at him with questioning eyes.
Luo Fengtang said: "It was not convenient to tell me in the letter at home before, so I planned to wait until I got home to tell you face to face."
"What? The matter is very difficult? Can't you explain it in a few words?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Luo Fengtang said: "The emperor summoned me to the capital to discuss the marriage of the ninth princess Qi Aoshan."
"What?" Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"What? The Ninth Princess finally found her husband and got married again?"
"Has the marriage happened? Which powerful family are the children and grandchildren of?" she asked.
Luo Fengtang said: "He is the son of the governor of Tianhai County."
"What? Did I hear that right? The majestic Princess Da Qi is marrying the son of a county guard? This marriage sounds a bit inappropriate?" She asked in confusion.
"Ninth Princess is willing?" she asked next.
Luo Fengtang smiled and said nothing, which was his acquiescence.
Seeing that Yang Ruoqing still looked puzzled, Luo Fengtang coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "The emperor wanted to find a princess from the royal family to marry to Tianhai County, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate."
"The ninth princess has volunteered herself and is willing to marry the son of the governor of Tianhai County."
"Wait……"
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to interrupt Luo Fengtang. The news was too exciting and she needed some time to sort out her thoughts.
"Is there something different about the governor of Tianhai County? Otherwise, would he be able to marry the princess as his daughter-in-law?" she asked.
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Qing'er is really smart, he can guess all this."
Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes.
"Stop boasting, stop showing off, and reveal the mystery quickly. I like to hear the origin of this marriage!" she urged.
Luo Fengtang said: "About this matter, it is better to let Da'an speak."
"Da'an?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Da'an again.
Daan took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and told Yang Ruoqing.
"Sister, I know you are impatient, so I'll get right to the point, keep the story short and focus on the important things," Da'an said.
"Tianhai County is a city on the southeast coast of Daqi, similar to Qing'an County."
"In the past, Tianhai County was a very prosperous county, and the people had enough food and clothing."
"But since this county governor took office, Tianhai County has been getting worse year by year."
"Is this county governor a corrupt official?" she asked.
The corners of Da'an's lips curved up in a sarcastic arc, and he said: "The crows in the world are as black as crows, and you can't pick one out of a hundred people who are not corrupt officials."
"What's more, when the fish is pure, there will be no fish, and the horse will not be fat without the night grass."
"The emperor will turn a blind eye to petty corruption that can be controlled within a certain level and will not delve into it."
"It's just that the governor of Tianhai County has gone too far to enrich himself."
"If it's just a simple search for people's wealth and wealth, it's just a punishment,"
"And this county governor has plundered so much of the people's wealth, which has made the people complain."
"However, his life is still the same as before, three meals a day, nothing extravagant, and the house at home is just a house for three people."
"When the Supreme Emperor was in office, he once admired the Lord Sheriff and even thought about promoting him."
"Later, a minister from the court came to secretly admonish him, saying that there was something wrong with the county governor."
"What's the problem?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Da'an said: "I have plundered so much money but I don't spend it very much. I don't sell fields to buy land or buy shops."
"There are only two concubines. On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family must fast."
"Then where did the money go?"
"If it's really so simple, why do you need so much money?"
"Moreover, this search for money is still done secretly. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a very, very honest and good county guard..."
"Even though the people in Tianhai County have been in trouble in recent years, none of these things have reached the capital. The common people thought of going to the capital to complain, but they were suppressed by the county guards."
"When the Supreme Emperor was suspicious and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, he happened to catch up with the rebellion of the puppet emperor. After that, the Supreme Emperor's dragon body was not in good condition, and then the war in the southwest broke out again, so the matter in Tianhai County was delayed again and again."
"After the new emperor came to power, some people came to admonish, saying that the people of Tianhai County were in dire straits, especially since the ocean climate was so changeable this year. Many fishermen had to rely on fishing at sea to make a living because their land was forcibly expropriated by the government."
"The changeable ocean climate has caused many fishermen to lose their lives in the sea. The wives, children and children at home were unable to wait for food relief, and many people starved to death. It was horrible to watch."
"But this county governor still does nothing and continues to exploit the people, who are suffering unspeakably!"
"His Majesty ordered me to be appointed as an imperial envoy, and Qiao Zhuang entered Tianhai County to secretly investigate and collect evidence."
"On the other hand, the marriage of the Ninth Princess is actually just a cover. The real purpose is to investigate the motives of the county governor for corruption and bending the law over the years, as well as the whereabouts of the gold and silver treasures!"
After hearing what Da'an said, Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.
"Qi Xingyun asked me to escort the Ninth Princess to Tianhai County to get married, just to cooperate with Da'an. As long as Da'an obtains evidence, I can immediately send troops!" Luo Fengtang also took over the conversation.
Yang Ruoqing also started to think quickly: "Tianhai County is separated from Fusang Kingdom in the east by a sea. Is it possible that the money has been shipped overseas?"
