The villain princess is three and a half years old

Chapter 438 Relying on Xiao Jiu'er

At this time, Jiang Yan rushed back from discussing business in other places and went to the palace.

When I arrived at the Princess Mansion under construction, I happened to see a craftsman accidentally falling from a high shelf and suffering a bloody head. Fortunately, the shelf was not high, so the craftsman's life was safe.

The chief of the Ministry of Works and Maintenance Office who was supervising the work saw this and quickly ordered people to carry the craftsman down.

"Wait a minute."

However, Jiang Yan stopped the person.

Just as he was about to step forward to ask, Suo Cheng smiled and said: "Boss Jiang, this craftsman is injured and needs to be sent down for treatment quickly."

Jiang Yan glanced at him and asked lightly: "Are you going to send him to the Tai Hospital?"

Suo Cheng replied: "How can it be possible? They are all a bunch of civilians. The lower officials have already sent people to invite the imperial doctor to the work shed. Now we have to send them to the work shed."

Jiang Yan nodded: "I'll go with you to have a look."

When Suo Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but have a flash of panic in his expression, and raised his hand to stop him: "Boss Jiang, the condition of the work shed is poor, dirty and messy. Boss Jiang is of noble background. If you go to a place like that, what if you get this good thing dirty?"

Silk uppers, wouldn’t that be..."

"Isn't that what it is?" Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, his narrow eyes seemed to have a cold light, and he asked unhurriedly.

"Haha, Boss Jiang, I'd better ask my subordinate to accompany you to drink tea here." Suo Cheng laughed dryly, and as he spoke, he took Jiang Yan's hand.

Jiang Yan immediately avoided it.

His elegant and handsome face was covered with a layer of cold frost: "Your Excellency, you should know that although I am a commoner, the emperor sent me to be responsible for supervising the construction of the princess mansion, and I bear the responsibility.

I had to leave Beijing for a while due to business matters. When I came back, I naturally had to look everywhere to see if there was anything wrong.

"If Mr. Cheng stops me again, he will be suspected of obstructing official duties.

"Tell me, if I mentioned a word or two to Princess Lingfu, what would she think?

"After all, this princess's mansion was built for her. I'm afraid that by then, it won't be just me taking a casual look here, but the princess herself coming here."

His words made Cheng Cheng tremble all over.

After experiencing the Qi concubine incident, both inside and outside the palace, everyone has further realized how difficult Princess Lingfu is to mess with.

So Cheng immediately did not dare to stop Jiang Yan anymore.

Jiang Yan glanced at him mockingly and followed him to the work shed where the craftsmen lived.

As soon as he entered, he was immediately speechless.

It is really unimaginable that there is such a dirty place in the magnificent palace.

Before entering the work shed, just standing at the door, I smelled an extremely unpleasant smell. I don't know how these craftsmen endured it and stayed here.

Today Jiang Yan happened to encounter a craftsman who fell from a height and was injured.

But after he entered, he discovered that in addition to the craftsman today, there were several other craftsmen, some were sick, some were injured, and were half-dead slumped on the simple bed made of wooden boards.

As you get closer, you can even smell the stench of rotting wounds.

Jiang Yan's face turned dark visibly to the naked eye.

When Suo Cheng saw this, his heart thumped and he thought, It's over!

"Where's the imperial doctor? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Jiang Yan waited patiently for a long time, but there was no sign of the imperial doctor, so he immediately asked with a frown.

"I don't know about this, but I've already sent someone to invite him..." Suo Cheng's eyes rolled around, not daring to look at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan glanced at him coldly and immediately winked at the entourage who was following him.

The man turned around casually and walked out of the shed.

Not long after, he came back and reported: "Sir, I just went to inquire. Master Suo Cheng never sent anyone to ask for an imperial doctor. There are also several people who were injured and sick before.

The doctors just asked them to carry it out, saying that once the imperial doctor was hired, if the emperor and princess found out, something big would happen."

When Suo Cheng heard this, his whole body began to tremble.

Jiang Yanze said calmly: "Oh? Something big happened, what big thing happened?"

The man casually continued to reply respectfully: "The craftsmen said that the food on this construction site is smelly and rancid, and many people are hungry, like those who fell from the high shelf just now. They haven't eaten enough for a long time and are hungry."

I fainted and accidentally fell down.

"They said something like this would happen every few days."

When Jiang Yan heard this, he immediately laughed.

But there was endless coldness in his smile: "Stinky and rotten? The emperor allocated a lot of money to build a princess's mansion, and I also gave hundreds of thousands of taels to build a princess's mansion. This amount of money is enough

Yes, the food supply is the freshest meat and vegetables for every meal, which is not enough. How can it be so stinky and sour?

"Sir Cheng, do you have to give me a reasonable explanation for this matter?"

When the prime minister heard this, he knew that the matter had been exposed.

He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Jiang, please spare your life! I am a subordinate, I am also forced to have no choice!"

"Sir Cheng, you'd better go to the emperor and say this!"

Jiang Yan dropped these words, turned around and left.

When Emperor Xuanping learned about this, he was immediately furious and directly sent Yin Yu, the minister of Dali Temple, to investigate the matter.

However, before Yin Yu could start investigating, a woman in tattered clothes, with three children under the age of six, knocked on the Dengwen drum in front of the Jingzhao Mansion.

A rumor suddenly spread wildly in the capital overnight.

Yu Jiujiu was instantly pushed to the forefront!

Zhang Zhi, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, delivered the memorial to Emperor Xuanping's desk the next day.

According to the memorial, a woman from the suburbs of Beijing sued Princess Lingfu for indulging in human life.

It explained in detail that this woman's husband was a craftsman who came to the palace to build the princess's palace. However, two days ago, his body was sent back by the palace people, leaving only five taels of silver for burial expenses.

This was given to Princess Lingfu because she was kind-hearted.

"This woman's family is really poor. Her father-in-law died young and her mother-in-law is ill. She raises three children by herself. On weekdays, she washes clothes for wealthy people and takes care of her mother-in-law and son. She relies on her husband-in-law to earn money from manual labor.

Money supports the family.”

Even when Yu Jiujiu was involved, Zhang Zhi did not dare to hide his favoritism and reported everything to Emperor Xuanping truthfully, "This family has several acres of thin farmland, and it is busy harvesting wheat. Usually at this time, the palace should give the family land.

The craftsmen were given a holiday and allowed to go home and continue working after harvesting the wheat.

"But, Princess Lingfu doesn't allow the craftsmen to go home, and she doesn't even give them any money. She should keep them working in the palace."

When Emperor Xuanping heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"What nonsense!"

He said angrily, "Not to mention that it is impossible for Xiao Jiu'er to be so strict. She is only a little older than a princess. She wakes up early and works hard to learn things every day. How can she care about such trivial matters! These trivial matters are not all work.

Are the people in the department in charge of this? How can this be blamed on Xiao Jiuer?"
