Chapter 966

In the imperial study, after listening to Wang Jing's report, the emperor's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water. He did not speak for a long time.

Wang Jing reported all the investigation to the emperor. Not only was aunt Ye suing Kaiyuan pawnshop on that day, but also described in detail that Kaiyuan pawnshop was originally owned by Nanwang of the old town, when it was changed into a pawnshop, and how many money was put in these years and how many people were harmed This pile, piece by piece, even Wang Jing himself said it was heart beating.

Wang Jing wiped his sweat secretly, and added: "the emperor, the servant girl of Zhennan Prince's concubine went to inspect the property on that day, and discovered such evil deeds. At last, the pawnbroker had to admit that he acted on the advice of Zhennan princess. All this was done by Zhennan princess."

With this, Wang Jing did not add his own speculation, but bowed to wait for the emperor's instructions.

The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "do you mean the imperial concubine once ordered people to go to Huaiyuan County?"

"Yes. The emperor. " Wang Jing replied, "if not, no one in Huaiyuan County would know that it was the princess of Zhennan who secretly seized the property of her son."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then waved him back.

The emperor walked back and forth in the imperial library for several times with a puzzled look. Finally, he was fair to Duke Liu: "drive to fengluan palace!" Then he strode out of the imperial study.

With a sigh of relief, Mr. Liu quickly followed up.

In fengluan palace, when the empress learned that the emperor was coming, she went out of the hall to welcome the emperor in. They came to the East warm Pavilion and sat down on the Luohan bed across the table.

After serving the emperor tea, the maid respectfully withdrew to one side. After drinking a cup of tea, the emperor talked about Wang Jing's reply. The more he said, the more angry he became. Finally, he said, "empress, if I hadn't sent my own person to investigate, ah Yi would have taken this bad name for nothing. In the end, Yi Nan's reputation is still in the black. How dare you to bully her

The Queen's face was as heavy as water. After pondering for a moment, she said in a soft voice, "please calm down, Emperor. Don't ruin the dragon body because of such a small popularity. " After a pause, he added, "it's lucky that people have been discovered this time. It's a great fortune in misfortune."

"Misfortune is misfortune. There is no great fortune." The emperor shook his head and said, "the king of Zhennan is really confused. Ah Yi is his legitimate eldest son, the son of the prince's family. He even let the princess of Zhennan behave like this!"

The most shameless thing about Xiao Fang is that he not only occupied the property and got the silver, but also ruined Xiao Yi's reputation. He did everything in his power! So the emperor was shocked.

It's the most vicious woman!

"Fortunately, you know, the emperor will make decisions for Yi." The queen said again, but she didn't think so: as the old saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. Xiao Fang blows the pillow every day, and the king of Zhennan is not only a son Thinking about it, the Queen's eyes flashed a touch of complexity, and quickly looked at the emperor, but also as usual.

"It's really hateful." The emperor said, "in the final analysis, I don't know how many industries this little Fang family has occupied. If only this open source pawnshop falls, if..." He did not finish his words, but pondered for a while, and then he said in a meaningful way: " What's more, I don't know what Wang Jing just told me. "

The queen was stunned and said, "what does the emperor mean?"

After thinking for a moment, the emperor said, "empress, you'd better ask her face-to-face if you ask her to come into the palace."

"Yes, Emperor." The queen didn't ask much. She bowed down and gave mother Li a wink, and she immediately took her orders.

After saying these bad things, the emperor's heart gradually calmed down, and said with a smile: "empress, yesterday I went to the study. It happened that Liu Taifu was asking Xiao Wu, as well as Qingge and xinge'er, to write a game theory, the title of which is" how to govern the country. " The Qing brother in the emperor's mouth is Jiang Ming and Qing of Jiang's family, and is now one of the five princes' companion readings.

Seeing the emperor's expression relaxed and casual, the empress secretly breathed a sigh of relief, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "my concubine, do you remember that" how to govern the country "was the topic of last spring Wei's game

"Yes, the queen has a good memory." "The emperor nodded," I also specially looked at it, the small five writes well. " With that, the emperor's expression showed a trace of satisfaction. In his game theory, the five princes clearly put forward eight strategies for governing the country: balancing land, selecting officials, eliminating redundant posts, saving expenses, creating land, collecting less taxes, making profits, and banning extravagance. Although the specific ideas are still immature, they also show that he is very attentive in reading and observing the people's conditions.

The emperor continued: "Liu Taifu also said that Xiao Wu is now reading the 70 biographies of Shiji, and Xiaowu is hardworking at this age. It's no wonder that Meng's mother moved three times in ancient times. Xiao Wu, Qing Ge'er and Xin Ge'er all made great efforts to study. It can be seen that I didn't pick a mistake for Xiao Wu in this accompanying reading. " After a pause, the emperor told him, "queen, little five is weak. You should also persuade him to pay attention to the combination of work and rest. This book should be read, but don't be tired and sick."

The emperor can say this is the biggest affirmation of the fifth prince. Naturally, the empress was jubilant and said with a smile, "don't worry, my concubine will tell the maid to pay attention to them. When the emperor praised his brother-in-law so much, I would like to convey the words to his elder brother and sister-in-law. They said that he was fond of playing and didn't like reading all day long. He also said that he would be married earlier and find a daughter-in-law to take charge of him. "The emperor was also said to have a smile in his eyes, but he remembered another thing. He said with a profound meaning: "speaking of it, Yinglin will soon owe me a glass of matchmaker's wine." The emperor said Yinglin was the empress's brother, that is, the son of the eunuch.

The emperor's words also confused the queen. Did the emperor want to marry Chiang Ming and Qing?

Seeing the Queen's doubts, the emperor said with a smile, "I received a military report from northern Xinjiang early this morning More than half a month ago, Jun Ge'er led a vanguard team to sneak around Changlian mountain, burning down half of Changdi's granary at the foot of Changlian mountain, forcing Changdi's army to retreat two hundred Li because of the lack of food and grass. This is a great achievement! " Then he looked at the queen with a smile, "queen, it seems that your mother's family is going to have a wedding ceremony soon."

When the queen heard this, she was naturally beaming with joy. The emperor's words not only represented that he had agreed to marry, but also showed that the war with Changdi, which lasted for more than half a year, was finally coming to an end. This is really a great joy!

The Empress Dowager said and laughed for a while, and after having lunch together, Nangong Yue came into the palace.

The emperor pondered for a moment and avoided the inner room. The empress called Nangong Yue in.

Nangong Yue walked in with the palace people in a dignified manner. The queen gave her a seat and waved back most of them. Soon, only two of them and mother Li were left.

As soon as Nangong Yueyue sat down, the queen opened the door and said, "Yue girl, do you know that a Yi has been impeached recently?"

"Impeachment?" Nangong Yue's face "brush" looked extremely pale. His lips trembled and said, "is it that something happened in southern Xinjiang? Yi, Yi, he... "

Seeing her misunderstood, the queen quickly comforted her: "Yue girl, don't worry, it's not about Southern Xinjiang." Seeing that she was relieved, the queen went on to say, "Yue girl, what the imperial censor impeached is that a Yi released the money in private, forcing the people to break up. Do you know that? "

Nangong Yue's eyes are slightly restrained. As far as she knows, the empress has never asked about the government. Now she will specially send her to ask about impeachment. There is only one possibility.

Think of it, the emperor's investigation has already got the result.

Nangong Yue's thoughts were flying around, but his face was a little sad and sighed, and he said, "I'm afraid Niang, he doesn't know what to say. "

"That is to say, you know it?"

The empress's expression became serious. She still remembered that after lunch, the emperor mentioned to her that nangongyue had sent someone to Huaiyuan County. Although the Emperor didn't say anything, the queen and his husband and wife had known for many years that he was suspicious of Nangong Yue.

"Empress..." Nangong Yue lowered his eyes and said helplessly, "before Yi left the capital, he told him that his grandfather had left him some property, that is, some Chuang Tzu, some shops and Jiangnan fields. When his grandfather passed away, Ayi was still young, and these industries were always managed by the administrators, who only reported the accounts once a year. Yue'er thought that before Yi came back, he would take a look at all these books and take care of the industry. But at this point, we can see the problem. Niang, you don't know that this account book is full of mistakes. In the past two years, only two or three hundred taels of silver have been sent to naliu Hezhuang outside Wangdu. How can this be possible? "

The Queen's face was calm and asked, "and then?"

"Yue'er thought that he was a big bully, so he took people to liuhezhuang in person, but he didn't expect that..." Nangong Yue bit his lower lip and said, "the manager of liuhezhuang not only paid for the money, but also privately carried the rent, raising the 25% set by his grandfather to 50%! Although yue'er doesn't work as a farmer, he is also a girl raised by Nangong government. Of course, he knows that 50% of the renters will not survive. The tenants of liuhezhuang have not only difficulty in food and clothing, but also sell their children and daughters. "

Girls who come out of rich families will never know only romantic affairs, especially those who come out of wedlock. Since childhood, they will be taught by their mother to take care of family affairs and common affairs. It is clear that the annual income and what will be affected by such industries as account books and Chuang Tzu shops. The more a girl from a family, the more familiar she is.

This is also one of the reasons why high-ranking families do not want to marry common women, because there will never be a legitimate mother who is willing to teach the common women seriously and patiently, and treat them as their own.

The queen nodded clearly, indicating that she would go on.

At that time, Yue said angrily to nannu, so he bullied his mother. I also asked my dowry to take charge of some days and make a decision when Yi comes back. Although it's not proper for yue'er to get involved in his husband's family's property right after he got married, Yi is far away in southern Xinjiang. If he comes back to take care of this matter, the tenants of liuhezhuang will not have a good year. "

As a housewife, there is no mistake in punishing obstinate slaves.

"At that time, the steward, who was sold by yue'er, kept saying that he was ordered by his mother's concubine, but he didn't believe it at all. They could bully tenants in the name of AI Yi, and naturally they could escape punishment in the name of his mother's concubine He thought it would be a good thing. But a few days ago, when he went to liuhezhuang again, he was assassinated. ""Assassinate?" At the same time, Nangong Yue noticed that there was a slight sound inside. She did not change her voice, but showed a trace of fear on her face Fortunately, yue'er didn't have an accident with his guard. Later, he specially sent someone to the Yamen to report for it. "

"Under the emperor's feet, it's unreasonable!" The queen was angry.

Only for a moment, the queen had countless guesses in her heart: Nangong Yue had just punished the Diao Nu, and then he was assassinated in a flash. This really can't help people think about it!

"Niang, yue'er only dares to tell you In fact, he also doubted, but he didn't dare to think about it. " Nangong Yue said with a wry smile, "in the property left by my grandfather, there are only two Chuang Tzu and a grain shop near Wangdu. Because of Liu Hezhuang's affair, he asked her servant girl to visit Kaiyuan grain shop quietly. Unexpectedly, something happened again. The servant girl came back to tell yue'er that she had not found a grain shop on Tianyuan street. Just as she was about to inquire, she met an old woman who was forced to sell her granddaughter. How could such a tyrannical thing happen under the emperor's feet? The servant girl took the old lady to report to the official. Unexpectedly, the steward said that the pawn shop was changed by his wife's grain shop If it was liuhezhuang alone, yue'er really believed that it was Diaoyu who was scrambling about, but even this open-source grain shop was the same. How could he not let yue'er panic and speculate more. "

Nangong Yue said half truely and half falsely, but let the empress believe deeply, sighed and nodded his head: "it is wronged you."

"Madame." Nangong Yue looked at the queen anxiously and said, "has Yi really been impeached by the imperial emissary and released the money? But it really doesn't matter about Yi. It's clearly the mother's concubine. She... " Speaking of this, Nangong Yue was reluctant to say anything, but finally he bit his teeth and said, "Niang, the parents of the world, yue'er can't blame his mother's wife for her behavior, but he can't let Yi bear such a bad name for nothing! He doesn't accept it! "

The queen waved to her, called her to her side, comforted and said, "don't worry, Miss Yue. Although there is an imperial emissary impeachment, the emperor will definitely find out. He will not wrongly wronged Yi."

Yue Niang said reluctantly, "thank you!"

At this time, a maid of the palace came out of the room and said a few words in the Queen's ear. She saw the Queen's jaw and asked, "you just said that there are two Chuang Tzu in Wangdu. What about the other one?"

"The other is called Bailinzhuang." Nangong Yue said with a wry smile, "he intended to go there a year ago to reward some rice and meat for the tenants to have a good new year, but now he is a little afraid to go. If something happens again, I'm afraid that my mother will blame him for not knowing how to behave But if you don't go to see it, he's worried. "

"Then go."

"Queen?" Nangong Yue blinked and looked at her.

The queen looked at her and said, "let mammy Wen go with you and make decisions for you."

Nangong Yue's eyes brightened and he stood up, "thank you very much. Then he will go tomorrow! "

After saying some more words, the queen brought tea, and Nangong Yue got up to leave.

The emperor came out from the inner room. He could hear the conversation clearly.

Originally, the emperor thought that things were too coincidental, and he doubted whether Nangong Yue did it on purpose. However, he was completely relieved when he heard the words.

This is indeed a coincidence. The fault is not nangongyue, but the princess of Zhennan is too shameless!

"The emperor." When the queen got up, her attitude was the same as that of the emperor. She listened to her saying, "the princess of Zhennan has done so shamelessly. She is still a royal concubine. A commoner daughter is a commoner girl, and she can't be lifted up to a higher status."

The emperor came to the queen and sat down and said, "is this just the princess of Zhennan?"

If it was just the open source pawnshop, it could be said that Xiao Fang had made his own decision. But now it seems that she robbed all, at least most, of the property left by the old Zhennan king when Xiao Yi was too young to take care of the common affairs when he passed away!

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "how can a woman in the inner house do this without support? It has not been discovered for nearly ten years Perhaps the southern king of the town had already known about it, or even acquiesced in it. Empress, it's not as simple as it seems. I thought the king of Zhennan just didn't like Yi, but now it seems that the relationship between the father and the son will be out of harmony sooner or later. "

For a monarch, balance is the key.

If the father is strong and the son is weak, he will naturally support the son of the world. But if the son is strong and the father is weak, even if he loves Xiao Yi again, he still wants to find ways to weaken the son of the world for the sake of monarchy.

Xiao Yi has won many victories in southern Xinjiang recently. Although it is a good thing, he also has some worries.

Now, it's not a stepmother taking property.

Although Nangong Yue knew only the skin of the emperor, she knew that the emperor was suspicious. The more successful Xiao Yi was in southern Xinjiang, the easier it was to attract the emperor's fear. Therefore, she would choose to reveal Xiao Fang's true face at this time. In addition to his evil spirit, it was also to dispel the emperor's fear and doubt, so that Xiao Yi would not be too worried when he returned to the capital It's hard.Therefore, she must be careful and make no mistakes at all.

Bailinzhuang is the next key point. Xiaofang's bad moves undoubtedly give Xiao Yi and her a good chance! Fortunately, the queen took the initiative to ask mammy Wen to go with her, otherwise, she would have to work harder.

Back to the palace, Nangong Yue made a little preparation, and then on the next day with mother Wen went to Bailin village.

In addition to the guards, the Empress Dowager did not know how to think about it, and even let mammy Wen take four bodyguards out of the palace.

The guards and guards were all riding horses. In addition, there were two carriages, on which were placed some rice and cloth for the tenants.

The party left the city in the morning and soon arrived at the boundary of Bailin village.

This is a very comfortable and quiet Chuang Tzu. According to the records in the account books, Bailin village employs 52 tenants, and the total income this year is 200 taels of silver.

The carriage stopped at the side of the road steadily. Nangong Yue told Lily, "go down and inquire about it."

Lily answered and jumped out of the carriage. Nangong Yue laughed helplessly at mammy Wen and said, "let mammy laugh. The last time I went to liuhezhuang, because I was too careless, I was regarded as a troublemaker by the people in charge there, and I was almost driven out by a stick. I also lost the loyalty of these two servant girls

I heard that mammy opened her eyes in a strange way. A noble princess went to her own village and was driven away by the steward. This is also, this is too bold After hearing mammy took a deep breath, she said in a hurry, "please go ahead."

Sitting in the carriage waiting for a moment, not waiting for Lily, but waiting for a strange boy.

The young man was only thirteen or four years old. He was a little thin, but his skin was white. Although he was frightened, he could not hide his handsome face. As he ran, he looked behind him in fear, and saw three or four young men chasing after him.

The noise of the disordered steps was still harsh in the quiet surroundings.

When the boy saw the carriage, he ran over immediately with his eyes shining. He cried out for help: "help me!"

I don't know who is coming. The guards all gathered around the carriage and put their hands on their swords to be on guard.

"Princess, I'll go and have a look." Seeing Nangong Yue nodding, Baihui jumped off the carriage and asked the boy, "who are you?"

The young man cried out in panic: "sister, help me I... "

"Who comes here to mind your own business!"

While speaking, those guards had already chased out. A man with a beard and beard would catch the young man without saying a word. Baihui stepped forward, raised his hand and said, "what crime has this man committed?"

The beard looked at her up and down and said, "we are ordered to catch a runaway slave. Girl, you'd better not mind your own business."

"I'm not a runaway slave!" "I was abducted by them from other places. I don't want to stay here," he said

"Take it back!" the beard called impatiently

The rest of them all rushed to catch the young man.

Baihui gave a cold hum and directly protected the young man behind him. Just as he was about to start, he heard Nangong Yue's voice in the carriage, "ask them they are the people of Bailin village."

"Yes." Baihui should a, cold eyes to them, "my master son asked you are this Bai Lin Zhuang people?"

Several people did not look at each other from the ground and looked at the carriage.

Nangong Yue didn't take the Zhu wheel cart, but one of several carriages in the palace. Although there was no Zhu wheel cart, it could be seen at a glance that the people among them were not rich or expensive.

Thinking of the activities in Chuang Tzu, the chief beard seemed to know something about it. He asked tentatively, "is your master here looking for someone?"

"So what."

When he heard this, he put down his heart and said, "if you are looking for someone, go back. It's not easy for anyone to come here. " Then he told the others, "get the man back."

Baihui sneered and asked, "who should be able to come?"

"Men, of course." Beard laughed and said with a kind of evil spirit, "if the lady inside is to look for my husband, I'd better leave early. We've seen so many things like this. Don't lose face and go back crying. "

The foul language heard in the carriage, Mammy's face turned white. She looked at Nangong Yue, and saw that he had a straight face and said in a cold voice: "wanton. Come on, fight

When Nangong Yue's voice reached the outside, the accompanying guards immediately pulled out their swords.

"Keep alive."

It's unbelievable that they dare to do it. Especially the sharp light of the sword makes them dare to fight, so they listen to whiskers shouting: "Lord Qiao is in it. How dare you do it?"

"Lord Joe?"

Nangong Yue and mammy Wen looked at each other, Wen mammy thought: what can be called "adult" is not the imperial court's life officer?But Nangong Yue said in a cold voice, "why don't you dare to do it. Someone... "

"Wait, is it Lord min or Lord Zhang..."

Seeing the cold light of the sword flash in front of his eyes, his beard called out in a hurry: "don't do it, madam. Who are you looking for? I'll call someone for you. Maybe the adult you are looking for is not here today It's not in vain to hurt the harmony. "

Baihui stood on one side. At this time, she asked in a voice: "Hello, what do you think of Mr. Qiao and Mr. Zhang? What are they doing here?"

The beard blurted out, "of course, I'm here to have fun This little lady, you'd better go back early. You have to let your husband know that he will not be happy, and it will be you who will suffer. "

Hearing Mammy's surprise and anger, she had already guessed.

Nangong Yue took a look at her. Seeing that the fire was almost over, he said straightforwardly, "Baihui, why are you still in a daze? Didn't you hear my command?"

"Yes Baihui answered and waved: "go up!"

The guards were all in one.

"You don't drink when you toast." The beard was also angry and said, "don't blame me for not reminding you Ah His words have not spoken, was a sharp sword through the shoulder, blood instantly dyed red shirt.

The guards of Zhennan palace were all specially left by Xiao Yi when he left. They were not only loyal, but also against ten generations.

Although the Bailin village's guards were powerful, they were far inferior to them. However, in a short time, they had been subdued one by one. All of them were wounded and not fatal. They were only led to kneel down on their knees in dismay, and their faces were full of panic.

Some people even said that they started to do it, but they did it so ruthlessly?!

The bearded man tried to endure the pain and said, "do you know who the owner is here? It's just audacious..."

"Fight!"

At the command of Nangong Yue, a guard stepped forward and kicked him fiercely. The foot was kicking on the wound of his shoulder, and his beard fell to the ground. He bared his teeth and could not speak.

The young man was relieved. The curtain blocked the carriage. He only knew that there was a girl inside. He said gratefully, "thank you for saving me."

Baihui instead of Nangong Yue asked: "who are you? Why do they want to catch you?"

"I..."

As soon as the boy's voice got up, Lily came back in a hurry, and without looking at those who had been subdued, she said angrily, "madam, it's so ridiculous here..." Her face turned red and she said, "they, they even opened a private kiln here!"

Private kilns, as the name suggests, are similar to brothels, but they are not brothels, but a place for men of high status to have fun. According to the court's law, officials are not allowed to go to prostitutes. There are royal envoys in the capital, so officials will not violate the rules. But on the outskirts of Wangdu, some people started such private kilns. Most of these places have beautiful scenery and elegant decoration. They are not so much private kilns as they are outside houses.

In the outskirts of Wangdu, there are a lot of private kilns, but they can't make it to the market. It's unbelievable that Nanwang's mansion in this town wants to use private kilns for profit. Mammy, sitting in the carriage, was shocked and angry. She looked at Nangong Yue, who was unbelievable, and felt sorry for her.

As a imperial concubine, she wanted to inspect her own property. She was not only beaten and killed, but also knew nothing about a well behaved Chuang Tzu who was turned into a private kiln for pickling.

Nangong Yue's heart is very calm. She knew about Bailin village early. Both Bailinzhuang and Kaiyuan grain stores had sent people to investigate carefully. She was really furious at that time, but then she forced herself to calm down.

In contrast, Kaiyuan grain shop is more suitable to make things open, and this Bailin village is specially reserved to add a fire.

To let the emperor take the lead, Xiao Yi not only had to suffer great "grievances", but also showed weakness.

Nangong Yue closed his eyes. In the eyes of Mammy, he looked as if he was deliberately enduring his anger. Then he heard her raise his voice and asked, "what's going on?"

"Madam, I wanted to ask the tenants about the Bailin village, but I didn't find it. So I sneaked in and saw it, and then I found out Lily said with some difficulty, "there are many prostitutes and shepherds here."

"Madame in the carriage, this sister is right." The boy sobbed and said, "I was abducted from other places and sold to them I'm not a runaway slave. "

"That's not true!" Nangong Yue's case of a few, angry way, "come on, go and find out the steward here."
