The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

However, the sudden interruption of the clues threw the investigation into trouble. Juechen searched Chunjuan's room but couldn't find any valuable clues.

All the evidence seemed to point to Zhou Xiaoyuan, and Juechen felt a little uneasy.

Juechen stood outside the door of Zhou Xiaoyuan's room, thinking deeply in his heart. He felt that Chunjuan must have said something to Zhou Xiaoyuan before she died, and this clue may be related to the truth of the Beijing corruption case.

"Mrs. Zhou, did Chunjuan mention anyone or anything to you before she died?" Juechen asked.

Zhou Xiaoyuan recalled it and shook her head: "No, she didn't mention anyone or anything specifically. She just said that there was someone she was worried about, but she didn't tell me who that person was."

Juechen frowned: "Who do you think this 'uneasy person' might be?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan shook her head: "I don't know. Chunjuan rarely mentions this person and has never told me about their relationship."

Juechen decided to send someone to investigate Chunjuan's background and social circle to see if he could find this "uneasy person."

He knew that this matter was not trivial, and if it was not handled properly, it might bring greater danger to Zhou Xiaoyuan.

Xia Yechen also realized the seriousness of the situation. He sent someone to investigate Chunjuan's whereabouts and background, and found that she usually had a regular customer.

Xia Yechen felt that this guest might be related to the corruption case in the capital, so he was going to call someone in for questioning.

However, when his men went to summon the guest, they found that the guest had been accidentally killed and even fell at home. No one had ever discovered it.

"Who is this guest?" Xia Yechen asked.

"He is a

A businessman named Li Si. "The men replied, "We have found clues in his home. It seems that he was killed by a woman. "

Xia Yechen frowned: "Does Li Si know about Chunjuan's imprisonment?"

The subordinate shook his head: "It's not clear yet. But what we can be sure of is that this woman must be related to the corruption case in the capital."

Xia Yechen took a deep breath, knowing that this matter had caused greater trouble. The pressure on his shoulders grew, but he also became more determined to uncover the truth.

This incident aroused the alarm of Emperor Dong, who called Xia Yechen several times to emphasize the seriousness of the incident.

"Juechen, I know there is a lot of pressure on your shoulders, but I hope you can continue to investigate and must uncover the truth."

Emperor Dong said seriously, "I believe this case must involve some ulterior secrets, and there must be someone behind it who wants to hide the secrets."

Xia Yechen took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to uncover the truth of this case."

A few days passed, and Xia Yechen didn't sleep well for a few days because the case made no progress. Zhou Xiaoyuan saw this and felt very distressed.

"General Xia, you must take care of yourself." Zhou Xiaoyuan said worriedly, "You have lost weight these days."

Xia Yechen smiled slightly: "Thank you, madam, for your concern. It's just that this case is a bit tricky and I don't have any clues yet."

Zhou Xiaoyuan sighed: "I know this case is complicated, but I also believe you have the ability to solve it. If you need help, just tell me."

Xia Yechen

Shaking his head: "Thank you, madam, but now you are a key figure in the case. I can't let you take any risks."

Zhou Xiaoyuan was deeply moved. She knew Xia Yechen was protecting her, but she couldn't just watch this case go unresolved.

After thinking for a moment, she said: "Maybe Chunjuan is no longer here, but we can do something for her. I want to arrange a funeral for her and let her rest in peace."

Xia Yechen nodded: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to prepare the funeral for Chunjuan."

After obtaining Xia Yechen's consent, Zhou Xiaoyuan began to prepare the funeral for Chunjuan.

In the process of preparing for the funeral, Zhou Xiaoyuan discovered the suicide note left by Chunjuan. In her suicide note, Chunjuan confessed all her secrets.

"Madam, I must confess to you that I killed my previous men. I discovered that they knew my secret and were trying to use me and control me."

Chunjuan wrote in her suicide note, "They forced me to accept guests, which delayed my prime years. They even used me to contact various dignitaries for personal gain."

"The man I loved deeply was involved and what he did chilled me to the core."

In the end, Chunjuan was overwhelmed and chose to commit suicide, exposing all the dirty things she had done before, including various lists.

After Chunjuan's suicide note was discovered, both Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan fell into deep contemplation. They realized that Chunjuan's death was not a simple suicide, but involved some deep conspiracies and interests.

"Chunjuan mentioned some lists in her suicide note." Zhou Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered some important information Chunjuan mentioned in her suicide note, "She seems to have mastered the information of some officials."

Evidence of corruption. "

A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Yechen's eyes: "If this is the case, then we may be able to uncover this conspiracy."

However, when Xia Yechen carefully studied the lists, he found that the evidence was not enough to prove the guilt of those corrupt officials. He knew that more evidence was needed to uncover the conspiracy.

Therefore, Xia Yechen decided to send his own army to secretly collect evidence. He dispatched a crack team and ordered them to collect criminal evidence of these officials at all costs.

After a period of hard work, Xia Yechen's army finally collected some key evidence. This evidence is sufficient to prove the corruption crimes of these officials.

Corrupt officials became speechless in the face of irrefutable evidence. They could no longer cover up their crimes and were eventually executed.

As a group of corrupt officials were exposed and eliminated, the government and the public were suddenly faced with a shortage of talent. The loss of a large number of officials brought all affairs of the court to a standstill.

However, Xia Yechen had already foreseen this situation and decided to pass the imperial examination to select more newcomers and inject new blood into the court.

"Prince Jing, I understand your concerns."

Xia Yechen explained to Prince Jing, "You are worried that I will take this opportunity to exclude dissidents, but I can assure you that I will uphold the principle of fairness and openness to select real talents for the court."

Prince Jing said coldly: "You are doing this just to control the government and weaken the power of me, Prince Jing."

Xia Yechen sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that Prince Jing had doubts about him, but he still decided to try his best to convince him.

"Prince Jing, please believe me. I

There is no selfish intention. I just want to select more talents for the court and make our country stronger. "

Xia Yechen said, "Of course, I will also respect your opinions and suggestions. I hope we can work together to contribute to the prosperity and stability of the imperial court."
