Chapter 39

"Who are you?"

Gu Yinwei gently waved his hand as if teasing a kitten or puppy, "Come here with your ears, I'll tell you."

Seeing that she was young and had a kind face, Guo Sizhen guessed that she was shy, so she moved towards Gu Yinwei's side.

Gu Yinwei's tone was very light, and he said slowly: "I'm the one who came to kill you."

Guo Sizhen also laughed, "Master is so kind, I'm afraid he won't be able to kill me."

Gu Yinwei did not sit down, but walked slowly with her arms behind her back, checking the instruments of torture standing by the wall one by one.

"Tsk tsk, the stick is bent, Guo Sizhen's torture room is really good.

"Gu Changyi is careful to say that the Shanggong Bureau is the Emperor's Shanggong Bureau. The slaves and maidservants are loved by all the ladies. They occupy the position of Si Zhen and never dare to slack off."

"Conscientious? So it turns out that Guo Sizhen's duty is to beat him up?"

"The slaves dare not."

"With the backing of the imperial concubine, why would you dare to kill two powerless court ladies?"

Guo Sizhen didn't speak, she didn't expect Gu Yinwei to see through her disguise so quickly.

"Gu Changyi insists on protecting these two maids, and it's not easy for a servant to be the master alone, so I have to ask the empress to make a decision."

Gu Yin supported her chin slightly and asked, "Are you really going to bother the empress for such a trivial matter?"

"The court lady sold the purse privately. This act seriously violated the palace rules. The slaves and servants were very light-hearted, so I had to ask the empress to decide for herself."

"You're right, let's go and call everyone else."

Guo Sizhen was puzzled, "Others?"

"That's right, call Ruan Sishe, and Huang Sishan will also go to see the queen together."

"Why are you calling them?"

"Ruan Sishe sells wood in private, and Huang Sishan resells meals in the palace. Naturally, they want to go together."

Gu Yinwei took out three envelopes from his cuffs, and placed them heavily on the table, "These are evidence, do you want Guo Sizhen to open them and have a look?"

Guo Sizhen was flustered, but still kept a decent smile on her face. The maid who had been eavesdropping at the door ran to report to Ruan Sishe and Huang Sishan.

After hearing this, Huang Sishan came angrily and came to discuss with Ruan Sishe, "Guo Mo'er wanted to die, why did he deliberately pull us back, Gu Changyi Shengjuan is going to be tough with her at this time, isn't it like an egg hitting a stone."

Ruan Sishe comforted, "Don't say so much, you have to find a way to protect yourself. These years, she has bullied us a lot by relying on the imperial concubine. We should take this opportunity to drive her away."

The two looked at each other, with a decision in their hearts.

There are three envoys in the Shanggong Bureau, Ruan Sishe is in charge of the decorations and furnishings, Huang Sishan is in charge of providing meals for the concubines, and Guo Sizhen is in charge of making dresses and jewelry for the concubines.

Guo Sizhen's position is a lucrative position. The three of them have worked together these years, and Ruan and Huang have often been squeezed by Guo Sizhen. Now Guo Sizhen is in a quagmire, and Ruan Huang is determined to step on Guo Sizhen. kick.

The stupid Guo Sizhen didn't know that the wind direction had changed, and foolishly thought that Ruan and Huang were here to rescue her.

After Ruan and Huang entered the door, Director Guo blinked his eyes and pursed his lips from time to time, in order to attract the attention of Ruan and Huang, but Ruan and Huang ignored her directly.

Gu Yinwei sat leaning against the large carved red sandalwood chair, she pressed one hand on the envelope, with an expression of winning.

Master Guo was like a soft-shelled turtle stir-frying in a pot, with a bitter expression on his face.

Ruan and Huang stood leaning against Gu Yinwei without hesitation, and Guo Sizhen was so angry that he cursed.

"Grass on the wall, soft bones."

"Guo Sizhen, you'd better keep your tongue, go to the empress to tell the difference."

Chu Chu's eyes on Gu Yinwei suddenly changed, she was respectful before, but now she is adoring.

Piantao secretly learns Gu Yinwei's methods of dealing with the enemy. He first tests out how much evidence the opponent has, then releases the evidence to scare the opponent, and finally unites the enemy's enemies.

Recently, she has been staying with the master. When did the master collect so many evidences? Could it be that the envelope is empty?

Flat peach's eyes fell on the envelope, Gu Yinwei smiled at her, their thoughts collided, and flat peach felt trembling all over, God, the envelope is indeed empty, the master is so brave.

Gu Yinwei thought, I have the advantage of one against three, and I will win this time.

A group of people marched towards Qiwu Palace in a mighty way, and the queen hurriedly dressed and prepared to go out to town.

Don't be afraid that there are too many things in the harem, just be afraid that the harem will be safe.

She is like a person who is holding a torch and lighting fires everywhere, lighting a fire here, pouring a basin of oil there, and controlling the fire within a reasonable range, and when the lowly people make a fuss, she will use the selfless The image stood up to quell the dispute.

Gu Yinwei took the lead, followed by Ruanhuang and Guo Sizhen.

As soon as the queen saw this position, she knew that Guo Sizhen had lost, and immediately put on a regretful expression.

"Why are all the people from the Shanggong Bureau here? What's the matter? It's mobilizing people like this?"

The soft secretary said: "I will report to the empress, the humble official wants to expose Guo Sizhen's greed for ink."

Huang Sishan was not in a hurry to speak, she touched the bill on her cuff, secretly waiting for the opportunity.

She intends to see if Guo Sizhen has a backhand first. If she has a backhand, the imperial concubine is willing to come forward to protect her. If these two pages of bills are not presented, if Guo Sizhen is an abandoned son, can Guo Sizhen be charged with these two pages of bills? Si Zhen's life.

Most of Guo Sizhen's money was paid as tribute to the imperial concubine, who was controlled by the empress, so at the beginning, the empress was more inclined to keep Guo Sizhen.

"Guo Sizhen has served for many years, and he has worked hard without credit."

Guo Sizhen walked to the empress's feet and kowtowed to her, "Empress empress, this servant has been wronged."

Gu Yinwei stood up from her seat, and Guo Sizhen immediately looked at her vigilantly.

The queen asked, "Gu Changyi, what do you have to say?"

"Empress, Guo Sizhen is complaining, and this concubine thinks that witnesses should be called to confront her face to face."

Guo Sizhen's expression was ashen, and she hurriedly changed the subject.

"The servant listened to the slander and mistakenly thought that the two maids around Gu Changyi were reselling purses. This absurd thing happened, and I hope that Mr. Gu Changyi will forgive the slave."

"Listen to slander! Who did Guo Sizhen listen to?"

Guo Sizhen hesitated, she didn't dare to drag the imperial concubine into the water.

"Slave... slave."

Gu Yinwei paid respects to Queen Yingying, "Queen Empress, these two court ladies beside this concubine have never resold purses, nor have they violated palace rules."

The queen raised her chin and said, "In that case..."

"Since this is the case, those who really violate the palace rules must be punished." Gu Yinwei was neither humble nor overbearing, with a loud voice.

Gu Yinwei took out five letters and opened one of them, revealing a corner of the letter paper. She took the letter and pulled it out, then paused.

"Guo Sizhen, are you willing to confess, or choose to be exposed?" Gu Yinwei held the letter and looked at Guo Sizhen.

Guo Sizhen planned to take a gamble. This Gu Changyi must have cheated her. In such a short period of time, she had no time to collect criminal evidence.

The queen was not sure how much evidence Gu Yinwei had, and urged, "Gu Changyi, just read the letter."

Gu Yinwei took out a letter and read it aloud: "Depreciation fee of 500 taels will be charged in August, and 600 taels of depreciation fee will be charged in September."

After hearing this, the queen stood up, pointed at Guo Sizhen and cursed, "You are so brave, you dare to covet even the depreciation fee paid by the inner court to concubines."
