Chapter 217 Reversal
Ye Chenyi didn't seem to know what happened, so he could only take a step back: "Father, the account book was brought by the Fifth Emperor and the fake An Shenzhu, saying that it was for evidence."

"Qi Tian, ​​where did you find this ledger?" Zhou Wang softened his tone and put the ledger aside.

Ye Qitian was unclear, so seeing King Zhou's expression seemed normal, he didn't think much about it: "Father, this account book is stored in this wooden box, and it is well hidden. It took a lot of effort to get it from the floor of the attic." I found it in the mezzanine. It was hidden so tightly, there must be something weird inside. So when Erchen saw the Anshen Bead in the wooden box, he thought it was real, so he hurriedly brought it back to the palace."

I don't know why Concubine Li's complexion is ashen, her lips are trembling as if she has been frightened, and she can't say anything.

"Okay, very good, Chen Yi, please find out for me who opened the Jubao Pavilion. I want to find out all the mice who have embezzled money. I have to go through these books carefully..." King Zhou slapped the desk , shaking the ledger to the ground.

On the ledger that was opened, there were a few large characters, 5 taels of southern porcelain, 3 taels of northern vase, and 10 taels of travel bottle.At first glance, you may not understand what this southern porcelain and northern bottle are, but looking at the literal meaning, no matter how valuable a porcelain and a bottle are, they are not worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.In connection with the flood in Nancheng, the severe drought in Mobei, and the riots of homeless people in the frontier, it is not difficult to see the meaning of this ledger.

The King of Zhou was not a fool, he understood what the account book meant after a little association, and was furious at the moment, someone dared to blatantly embezzle the imperial court's military pay, and even opened such a Jubao Pavilion to hide people's eyes and ears, passing the money through The Jubao Pavilion was cleaned up, if I hadn't seen this ledger today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find out about it no matter what.

There are such people in the court, and they are the most hated by all the kings...

"Father, while investigating the matter of An Shenzhu, I happened to find out about Jubao Pavilion, and I also know who opened Jubao Pavilion." Ye Chenyi looked embarrassed, looked at Concubine Li, and hesitated to speak.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is feeling a little uncomfortable, and I want to go back to rest now." Concubine Li Gui looked flustered and pale, she really looked uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with Concubine Li Gui? She was fine just now, Jin Shi, please take a look for Concubine Li Gui!" King Zhou didn't seem to want Concubine Li Gui to leave.

Mu Jinshi walked up to Concubine Li with a smile on his face, wanting to take her pulse, Concubine Li gritted her teeth and wanted to take back her hand, but she didn't want Mu Jinshi not to give her a chance at all, and grabbed Concubine Li's wrist .

"Your Majesty, there is nothing serious about Concubine Li, it's just that she was overly frightened. I'll just prescribe some medicine for Concubine Li to calm her nerves later on."

"Too frightened? I don't know why Concubine Li Gui is so scared? Chen Yi, tell me, who is the real shopkeeper of Jubao Pavilion?" King Zhou sneered, obviously guessing something.

"Yes, Prime Minister Lin..."

Ye Chenyi's words reached Concubine Li's ears like thunder, and she sat slumped on the chair, almost slipping.

"No, it's impossible. When I went to Jubao Pavilion earlier, I clearly met the shopkeeper. It was definitely not Prime Minister Lin." Everyone present had understood the current situation, except Ye Qitian who was still in the middle outside.

He didn't know that Jubao Pavilion was the property of Prime Minister Lin. If he knew, he would not have searched in Jubao Pavilion so arrogantly before, let alone brought this ledger into the palace...
