Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 434 Attitude

"Your humble servant, Wu Gaoyi, greets His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."

Sansheng was unfortunate, but he was appointed as a county magistrate; Sansheng did evil, but he was appointed as a prefecture governor; he was full of evil, but he was appointed as the capital city. It was his blessing for him to be the magistrate for more than two years.

But after this year, after the third year, this blessing will be passed on to the next lucky person.

Wu Gaoyi thought to himself as he bowed and saluted.

He naturally knew the purpose of the Ninth Prince's visit, but he did not take it to heart.

Totally true.

When his term of office is over, according to the custom of our current emperor, he will probably go to the border areas to govern them and return to the court after three to five years.

Among the previous Wannianlings, except for Li Ren'an who was demoted and left for more than ten years, after several transfers, he finally became a prefect of the same rank as Wannianling, all the others were transferred to the same rank and returned to Beijing to serve in the court after making outstanding political achievements.

"Master Wu, please don't be polite. I took a look around before coming to the county government office. The people praised you highly and called you Wu Qingtian. I think you will be promoted soon after this year's assessment."

After chatting with Qin Mingyue, the ninth prince Qin Mingxuan immediately arranged to leave the palace.

The case of Concubine Yu involved two imperial doctors, both of whom died outside the palace. Therefore, the ninth prince Qin Mingxuan got the opportunity to leave the palace to investigate. This was the first time he left the palace on his own.

For a prince to privately visit officials before he reaches adulthood and gets married is considered an unfilial act of interfering in state affairs, but if he receives an order, it is no longer considered a private relationship.

Although the ninth prince Qin Mingxuan's trip was shameless, it was upright and no one could find fault with it.

"Your Highness is boasting too much. It is the duty of an official to seek welfare for the people, eliminate evil, and maintain peace. This year is my last year as the governor of Wannian. I am trembling with fear and dare not slack off at all."

"Mr. Wu, do you know why I'm here?" Qin Mingxuan smiled slightly, gentle but not without toughness.

"I dare not keep you in suspense. The case of Imperial Doctor Yu and his family being robbed and murdered by bandits outside the city when they returned home on holiday. Someone, go and get the file."

"Your Highness, it's windy outside, please come into the inner hall to talk. I've asked someone to prepare tea so that Your Highness can moisten his throat first." Wu Gaoyi turned sideways and raised his hand, leading Qin Mingxuan to the inner hall in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

The inner hall was simple and elegant. The servant brought the tea. He respectfully held up a cup and handed it over: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please have a taste. Although this tea is not as good as the tribute tea in the palace, it can quench your thirst, so it is a good tea."

"What does Order Wu mean by this?" The ninth prince Qin Mingxuan took the teacup and sniffed the tea fragrance.

"Your Highness, you are overly suspicious." Wu Gaoyi smiled and shook his head.

Qin Mingxuan took a sip of tea, then put the teacup down and raised his hand gently: "Wu Daling, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

When the yamen runner presented the file, "Your Highness, this is the file on the robbery and murder of Imperial Doctor Yu's family."

"In June of this year, I told Your Majesty that I was determined to do one last practical thing for the people under my rule. I wonder if Your Highness has heard of it?"

"Punish the traitors severely to stabilize the local area, and strictly control the banditry, so that no one can pick up lost items on the road." Qin Mingxuan nodded, "This is very good. Even if the next Wannian Ling is just a clay Buddha, with Wu Daling's actions, Wannian can be guaranteed to be stable for ten years."

"Thank you for your affirmation, Your Highness." Wu Gaoyi sighed.

"The murderer in the case of Doctor Yu was caught when I was carrying out the order to 'severely punish the treacherous and corrupt, to pacify the local area, to strictly control the banditry, and to prevent the picking up of lost items on the road.'

If my case had happened under normal circumstances, those criminals would surely still be alive, waiting to be executed next autumn.

But in order to intimidate the locals and show my determination, I asked them how many crimes they had committed, then dragged them to Caishikou and executed them. "

"Is Wu Daling sure that they are the murderers of Doctor Yu?"

"I am sure."

"It seems that the case of Doctor Yu was an accident? If someone instructed these bandits, is there any chance to find out?"

Wu Gaoyi stroked his beard and said, "I will do my best to assist Your Highness and investigate this suspicion."

The Ninth Prince handed the case file to the eunuch behind him and slowly stood up: "Thank you, Wu Daling, for your hospitality."
