Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Yuanbao came in, looked at Zhao Zhen sitting on the dragon chaise, his face was gloomy, closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Bao Zheng is here, wait outside!"

Zhao Zhen opened his eyes and said, "Xuan him come in!"

"Xuan Baozheng met with him!" Yuanbao shouted loudly after he got the order.

Ye Huai walked into the imperial study and bowed to Zhao Zhen who was sitting on the dragon throne: "Message, please see Your Majesty!"

"No gift!" Zhao Zhen stood up, stared at Ye Huai, and said straight to the point: "You are trying Princess Leping for public trial, Chen Shimei, why don't you report me first? Why do you want to kill Leping?"

Ye Huai faced the angry Zhao Zhen without any fear on his face and said:

"Your Majesty, Princess Leping and Princess Chen Shimei are very guilty, especially Chen Shimei. Even if he was killed several times, he could not be redeemed!

Therefore, the two of them must die in order to maintain the majesty of Song Dynasty and to warn the people of the world that everyone must be self-restrained and abide by the law!

No matter who breaks the law, you will be punished. The prince breaks the law and the common people will be punished together!

If I report to Your Majesty and Empress Dowager, can I still enforce the law impartially at that time?"

When Zhao Zhen heard this, his face looked even more ugly and he fell into silence.

Ye Huai continued: "If Princess Leping, who committed a great crime, is not executed this time, who will abide by the law in the world in the future? Who else will believe in the Song Dynasty? How can the Song Dynasty be peaceful and the country and the people be safe?

Does Your Majesty want to save Princess Leping and destroy Song Lu and the thousands of miles of Song Dynasty conquered by Taizu? Or should you abandon Princess Leping alone in exchange for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and prosperity of the country?

If Your Majesty chooses the latter, then you can take down the minister and throw him into the death row!"

Ye Huai's words were sonorous and hit Zhao Zhen's heart.

"Huh--" Zhao Zhen let out a long sigh, the sad look on his face disappeared, he patted Ye Huai's shoulder, and said, "You did it right, but I won't be the case!"

"Your Majesty is wise, you are truly a heroic lord for all ages. With a kind, enlightened and wise king like you, it is the luck of the people of the Song Dynasty and the luck of the ministers!" Ye Huai flattered with a serious face.

"Stop flattering!" Zhao Zhen said: "Come here, give Bao Zheng a seat!"

Yuanbao's father-in-law immediately brought a big chair. Ye Huai was not polite. He stood up so tiring that he sat down.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else?" Ye Huai asked.

Zhao Zhen did not answer him directly, but said to Yuanbao's father-in-law: "Yuanbao, take the things on the dragon's desk to Bao Zheng for a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yuanbao said justice, took the information on the Long Case and sent it to Ye Huai.

He looked at it, and his face also showed an unexpected look, and said:

"Your Majesty, you allocated 5 million taels of silver disaster relief funds and 8 million shi of food. According to common sense, it is enough to ensure that the people suffering from drought and locust plagues will live normally.

However, when you went to Chengdu Prefecture, Henan Prefecture, Chuzhou and other six prefectures to check the disaster, you found that many people were still hungry and even had sex with their sons.

This shows that those corrupt officials ate all the money and food for disaster relief! It's really hateful. They are sucking the blood of the victims!"

Zhao Zhen nodded with a gloomy face and said, "It's true! Bao Zheng obeyed the order!"

"I'm here!" Ye Huai stood up and bowed.

Zhao Zhen said majesticly: "I ordered you to be the imperial envoy, bring Shangfang's sword, and lead 500 royal guard masters to these six prefectures and 18 states to investigate the case of corruption in disaster relief money and grain. Once you investigate it to the end, no matter who you find it, I will never tolerate it!"

This time, Zhao Zhen was really angry!

He went to inspect the disaster, but went to secretly and made a private visit without notifying other officials.

Zhao Zhen saw shocking scenes and saw the people exchanging their children with other people's children and cooking them.

How hungry and miserable it would be...

Such a tragic scene actually happened within the Song Dynasty under the management of Song Renzong, which made him unacceptable!

Zhao Zhen burst into tears on the spot. He vowed to eliminate corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty court and kill them all!

It was all these corrupt officials who caused this situation.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Zhen returned to the palace, he appointed Ye Huai as the imperial envoy to deal with the matter.

Looking at the government and the people, only Ye Huai can investigate this case thoroughly and get rid of it to the end.

"I, accept the order!" Ye Huai clasped his fists and took the Shangfang sword.

Shang Fang’s sword is in his hand, just like Song Renzong’s personal visit.

Zhao Zhen continued: "As the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, let the prime minister be the agent for the time being. After you return, you will continue to be the prefect of Kaifeng."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ye Huai took the order.

As the capital, Kaifeng must have many matters to be handled under the emperor's feet. After Ye Huai left for this period, someone must take over his position and temporarily take charge of Kaifeng's public security and other matters.

Ye Huai can understand that after he came back, he was still the prefect of Kaifeng.

After receiving the latest mission from Emperor Renzong of Song, Ye Huai returned to Kaifeng Prefecture and led Zhan Zhao, Yan Nantian, Wang Chao Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu and others to set off that day.

What we are going to handle this time is another big case!

Wu Song, the Tianshenxing Star, stayed in Kaifeng Prefecture to protect Wang Shishi and other families.

Ye Huai went to investigate the case of corruption in disaster relief funds. It was definitely a chore to travel to the six prefectures and thirteen states. He didn't want to take Wang Shishi to endure the hardships.

Ye Huai and his party had just set off when Master Pang learned the news.

Master Pang's face looked ugly, and he held the tea bowl tightly with his big hand and was silent for a long time.

He then said ruthlessly: "Zhao Zhen sent Bao Zheng to investigate the disaster relief money case. It seems that he wants to deal with this Grand Master! Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng, if you want to die, I will help you! Zhao Zhen, if you are determined to be an enemy of this Grand Master, you will be defeated by the Grand Master!"

At least one-third of these disaster relief funds and food were put into Tai Shi Pang's pocket.

He knew that it was difficult to eat the money and food this time, and it would even leave him dead without a place to bury him.

However, Master Pang has already taken the money and grain in his hands, and it is not right to release it now, nor is it right to put it away.

Master Pang was silent for a while and said in a deep voice: "Come here!"

Soon, an old man in brocade clothes walked into the hall and saluted to Tai Shi Pang and said, "Ti Shi, what are your instructions?"

This person is Pang Ji's most important confidant, and the housekeeper Pang Dao. His surname was not Pang, but was given by Grand Master Pang.

Grand Master Pang said with a cold and solemn expression: "Immediately send news to the Marquis of Chuzhou, the Prefect of Chenzhou and others, telling them that Bao Zheng was coming to investigate the corruption of disaster relief money and food, and let them take precautions, and..."

"Yes, Grand Master, I'll do it right away!" The old man immediately took the order and left.

After making arrangements, Master Pang stood at the window, looked at it with a gloomy face for a while before turning around and walking towards a golden nanmu table.

He grabbed a switch above.

Click!

The huge bookshelf behind actually moved to both sides, revealing a portal.

Master Pang flashed into it, and then went to the underground secret room.

There are two people inside, one is a young man with extraordinary demeanor and the other is an old man.
