Wen Jin immediately stared at the familiar long follower and chased after him.
But that Chang Sui is also very alert.
After all, he is a person from the East Palace. He has always been around the prince and has already developed extraordinary vigilance.
Wen Jin realized that he might have noticed. She immediately found a bunker, hid, and quickly entered the interlayer between space and reality.
She came out again and chased the long follower in a way that no one else could see.
But after chasing him into an alley, Wen Jin followed, but the figure that followed him disappeared.
Wen Jin frowned... She was chasing someone so much, how could she lose him?
Is it because the long-term follow-up is too powerful? Or has she regressed?
Wen Jin checked back and forth in the alley again, making sure that there were no secret doors or secret passages here.
She held her chin in her hand, frowning in confusion.
At this time, Han Xian also chased after him.
"Empress?" Han Xian looked around suspiciously.
Only then did Wen Jin realize that she was still in half the space.
She immediately stepped out and patted Han Xian from behind.
"I lost you." Wen Jin said.
Han Xian counted with his fingers and said, "It's not surprising that someone helped Changsui leave. The empress followed her and even lost her, so help him..."
Wen Jin stared at Han Xian.
Han Xiandao, "Zhou Lingfeng can do it!"
After saying that, he pinched his fingers to transmit the message.
"Old Zhou! I don't believe it. You still don't know that my queen has arrived in Da'an County! What are you trying to do by hiding from my queen?
"What did you say at the beginning? You said that you will never betray your mother-in-law again! Mr. Zhou! How your mother-in-law treats you, you have to tell your own conscience!"
Han Xian asked angrily.
Seeing Wen Jin worried about the prince, he rushed over in a hurry... only to be left here again as if he was being teased.
Han Xian was even angrier than Wen Jin.
"Your Highness," Han Xian sent another message to Xiao Yu, "when the empress heard the news about you, she immediately put aside all her affairs and all her planned plans. She rushed to Da'an County without stopping. As a child, no matter what kind of difficulties you have, whatever With such a plan, leaving a mother who cares about her son here like this... Do you think it is appropriate for you as a prince and as a son?"
Han Xian is the Grand Tutor. He finished speaking to the Prince in an extremely solemn and stern tone.
The alley was quiet for a moment.
Suddenly there was a lively sound.
This voice startled Wen Jin and Han Xian.
The two of them raised their heads and looked at both ends of the alley.
It was actually an official from Da'an County, leading people wearing colorful clothes or carrying colorful silk.
The bustling crowd rushed towards the alley.
"Thank you, Madam, for coming to our Da'an County despite your busy schedule!"
"Your Majesty is a miraculous doctor who has come down to earth and has the luck of koi! When you come to Da'an County, Da'an County will definitely have good weather!"
"The people of Da'an County are extremely grateful to the empress!"
There were people beating gongs, drums, dancing, trumpets... The atmosphere was lively, and the crowd was like a chicken.
Wen Jin took a deep breath and focused his eyes on the faces of the local officials.
"Who organized it? Who gave the order?" Her tone was low, implying anger.
The officials were stunned and quickly said, "Yes...it was organized voluntarily by the common people! It is the common people who want to express their true feelings to the empress!"
"They really support the Empress! They respect the Empress! So they organize themselves to let the Empress see their enthusiasm!"
"is not it?"
The officials raised their hands.
The people immediately cheered, "Exactly!"
The sound was loud and deafening.
Wen Jin waved his hands, smiled at the people and said, "Wen Jin has seen everyone's enthusiasm. Wen Jin thanks everyone for coming today. But everyone has also seen that Wen Jin is wearing regular clothes today, dressing up as the most ordinary common people, just for Really integrate into everyone, so as not to stay in the temple for a long time, avoid listening with earplugs, and lose sight of the real sufferings of the people.
"Wen Jin came to Da'an not to feel vanity or enjoy support. He came to help everyone solve practical problems and understand everyone's real needs.
"But I don't know how sharp-sighted you are that you were able to find Wen Jin in ordinary clothes in such a secluded alley! It's really amazing!"
Wen Jin finished speaking with a hint of sarcasm.
The officials standing in front looked like quails, with their heads retracted into their necks.
The official standing behind had already slipped away.
The people who were fooled and used looked a little confused.
Wen Jin continued, "The last thing I want is to waste people and money, because Wen Jin's arrival has already made us tired of putting on such a big show twice, putting down all the work at home to compliment Wen Jin. Wen Jin is here to thank everyone. But From now on, it’s better not to do this kind of thing again.
"Wen Jin hopes to see that the world in our country is peaceful and the people in Da'an County live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy life."
After Wen Jin finished speaking, the people cheered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! We are not tired to welcome Your Majesty!"
"My Majesty knows the enthusiasm of the people in Da'an County! Let's go back and do our own work! Let's go! Let's go!" Han Xian said loudly.
Wait for the people to disperse.
Wen Jin snorted and said, "Do you want to follow me? Call all officials in Da'an County to the government office for a meeting. Those who fail to meet the deadline within an hour will be dismissed from their posts on the spot."
Wen Jin was really angry.
She gave it an hour.
During this hour, she was not idle either.
She asked the people she brought to compile a list of current officials and a list of alternative officials who could take office in the near future.
The imperial court selects a large number of candidate officials every year through examinations.
There are too many monks and too little food, so every state and county has officials on standby.
An hour comes.
Wen Jin said, "Close the door and guard all the government offices. Roll call."
The female officer next to her began to call the names.
Most of the officials on duty in Da'an County arrived, but only a very small number of people who were supposed to be there did not.
Wen Jin said, "Do you think that since I live in the inner palace, I have no power of appointment or dismissal?"
Wen Jin took out an imperial edict, stood up and read it out.
All the officials present knelt down to listen to the order.
"By God's will, the emperor issued an edict... I appoint the queen to patrol the south on my behalf. If anyone encounters corruption, perverts the law, commits theft, or neglects his duties... the queen can remove him from his post on my behalf. In serious cases, he will be escorted to the capital. It is recorded in the record that he The descendants of future generations will not be allowed to serve as officials for three generations!
"Appreciate this——"
There was silence in the Yamen courtyard.
The officials all had solemn faces and cautious breathing.
Wen Jin put away the imperial edict and sat on a high seat in the courtyard.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the officials below, "I have never arranged a scene during my tour to the south, and officials are not allowed to waste time and money arranging pick-ups. Only Da'an County is unique. Who arranged this scene?"
"If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be strict. Whether one person makes a mistake and everyone is responsible, or it affects three generations of descendants, you can weigh it yourself!"
Wen Jin's face was majestic and his voice was solemn.
No one dares to smile playfully... This is really flattering.
After waiting for a long time, no one spoke.
Wen Jin nodded, "Okay, keep your mouth shut, that's great. Since it's about accountability, let's start from top to bottom, Governor Da'an!"
The prefect quickly stepped forward and knelt down.
"Remove him from office, hand over his official seal, seize his family property, and expel his family members from the prefect's mansion!" Wen Jin said coldly.
The prefect was shocked.
He didn't expect that the punishment would be so severe!
Moreover, isn’t the Empress known for her benevolence? She actually has such a cold-blooded side?
All the officials in the courtyard were also shocked and gasped.
No way... If the prefect punishes him so severely, wouldn't they...
Even Han Xian looked at Wen Jin in surprise.
He knew Wen Jin was angry, but he didn't expect her to be so angry.
"Empress, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" the eunuch suddenly shouted.
