Rebirth of the original wife

Chapter 294

Mrs. Liu came here yesterday and everything was fine. When she first heard the news, Li Wan was so shocked that she couldn't speak. After a while, she realized that the money was hidden in Li's mansion. How could other people know? Violet.

Zi Lan hesitated, "Mrs. Li hosted a banquet in the mansion today to entertain the guests. There were many people and mixed. It must have happened at that time."

Li Wan didn't know that Liu Shi hosted a banquet today, and she didn't hear about it yesterday, Li Zhongqing looked at it, how dare Liu Shi invite someone to come?Li Wan suffered from headaches, her mother's temperament changed a lot, she hid at her side yesterday, and went back to entertain guests today, sooner or later something would happen.

Li Wan asked about the situation in Li Mansion, Zilan shook her head, "I don't hear much about Erjiu, Erjiu is outside, and I haven't come back yet, so I told the guards at the gate to tell him to come back soon after seeing Erjiu."

Li Wan was anxious. The situation in Li Mansion was that she started saving money last year. By now, there should be some people who would not be charged with corruption and bribery. It can be seen that the amount of money found was large. In an instant, her eyes flashed, and she opened her mouth eagerly. Ask Zilan, think about it, Zilan also heard the news, she doesn't know.

Anxiously pacing back and forth in the room, she complained that her illness has not recovered. Qin Muyin told her not to go out due to the chaos in Beijing recently. Judging from the posts she received, many people wanted to catch Qin Muyin's braid , she will never send it to the door.

Li Wan ran out almost as soon as she saw Erjiu's shadow, "How is the situation in Li Mansion?"

Erjiu didn't have time to salute, and was startled by Li Wan. It took a while to recover, and she said calmly, "Mrs. Li is having a banquet in the mansion. The wife of Mr. Yu Shitaishi went to the toilet and found people carrying boxes. Let's go." In the past, I sprained my foot and bumped into a servant, and the box fell to the ground. Mrs. Shi heard the sound was wrong, went forward to open the box, and found that it was full of silver, she shouted all of a sudden, and attracted countless people."

Li Wan's thoughts sank, Mrs. Shi, Shi Zhen from Yushitai, Qin Muyin said they used Muziyan to test Shi Zhen and Ye Su, and I'm afraid they forgot about the military department.

The next words were what Mrs. Liu ordered Erjiu to say, "Madam Li's intention is that you don't worry, I have already informed Mrs. Li."

Li Zhongqing knew about Mrs. Liu's banquet for the wives of various families. What Mr. Liu meant was to make it clear this time. From now on, the various houses can communicate with each other, and there is no need to give gifts. I didn't expect something to happen on the last day. In a hurry, the wives of the various families saw her looking very strange, she was worried that she would cause trouble for Li Zhongqing, now that Li Zhongqing has a senior official position, there are many people staring at him, if something happens, what will the family rely on in the future, she doesn't care to appease him The wives next to him were full of thoughts on how Li Zhongqing would talk to him when he came back.

Liu didn't know what was in the box. When it was delivered this morning, she thought it was prey from Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi would send things here from time to time. When the servant told her where to put it, she didn't think too much about it. Just let it be carried to the kitchen and handed over to the cook.

Li Zhongqing came back quickly, Liu's heart was uneasy, Li Zhongqing was accompanied by a few adults, seeing their clothes, Liu's body trembled with fright, knowing that now was not the time to talk, he walked forward obediently, his lips trembling , "Sir, I didn't know that the box was silver."

If she knew, she would be happy for a while, and she would never carry it into the mansion foolishly, and send it directly to the bank to exchange it for silver bills. It's hard for her to speak in front of many people, besides, speaking will only make Li Zhongqing more angry.

"Come here, ask me what's going on with this box?" The box is the box that Zhuangzi used to pack things in. Li Zhongqing knew that someone was going to frame him, and the purpose was to go to Qin Muyin. Li Zhongqing immediately turned around and looked behind him. The few people said, "Master Shu, please carry the box to the Ministry of Punishment. Let me ask my wife about what happened in the mansion."

Mrs. Liu made it clear in a few words, and at the end, she made a strong promise, "Master, I really didn't know there was money in it."

Li Zhongqing had a decision in his heart, and when he heard Liu's muttering, his face became even colder.

Shu Yan is now cooperating with Qin Muyin to thoroughly investigate the six ministries, and immediately ordered people to lighten the money, no more, no less, 2000 taels, which is exactly the amount set by the emperor for each ministries, but anyone who accepts 2000 taels or more is considered embezzlement, Shu Yan secretly After pondering over it, he guessed that Li Zhongqing followed someone else's lead, and the people under his command carried the box away, and he didn't stay much. Li Zhongqing was gentle and cunning in dealing with things. When encountering such a thing, the first thing he thought was that he had picked up all the private money. How could such a mind be bought by 2000 taels?

After the person left, Liu's legs were sore, Li Zhongqing didn't expect her to say anything, and his face sank after sending the guests away. Liu followed behind him in an orderly manner, and listened to his orders, "Ask me Who sent the box, if you can’t find out, go directly to Zhuangzi, and find out how the things in the box came from.”

How could the box sent by Zhuangzi be changed secretly? If the box was changed after entering the mansion, it would definitely leave clues. If it was changed on Zhuangzi, it would be troublesome.

The servant took the order and left. Li Zhongqing turned around and glanced at Mrs. Liu, and sighed. Mrs. Liu loves to be greedy for petty gains and sees money, and this temperament will not change for a while. Seeing no guests behind closed doors, let’s talk about it after the matter is over, I went to the Hou’s Mansion yesterday, if something like this happened today, you can really discredit black people.”

Li Zhongqing pondered for a moment, and asked Liu Shi why the box was found, Liu Shi said everything, and Li Zhongqing's eyes darkened.

Of course, 2000 taels of silver is not enough to deal with Qin Muyin, but if Qin Muyin shelters his father-in-law, the gang of Yushitai will not give Qin Muyin face for Prince Cheng's sake.

Qin Muyin was talking with the emperor in the Zhaoyang Palace. The matter of the Ministry of War has been settled. After that, it is just a formality. The emperor will turn a blind eye if the corruption is not too much. Well, if there were no corruption and bribery, the position of the emperor would probably be hard to keep.

However, no one in the Sixth Ministry knew about this matter, including Shu Yan. The emperor only told Qin Muyin. After disposing of the three people above, the people below probably won’t follow, instead of letting me target them, it’s better to let them think that I’m targeting the Six Departments.”
