Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 82 Undercurrent
In the imperial study room, the emperor listened to Gao Sheng's report with a gloomy expression, while Xue Qing and Jing Bianhou stood aside.

He didn't know the turmoil in Xue Qing's heart at this time, the emperor didn't know how much property the Su family had, but he knew it in his heart.

He only handed in about [-]%, and kept the rest from himself.In case this matter is found out, the emperor will never let him go.

"Master Zuo, do you know that there are still people in the Su family?" The emperor asked angrily.

At the beginning, he didn't know that there were still people in the Su family, so he took over the property, but he didn't expect that now he had taken over the property of an orphan, which made him feel ashamed.

"I don't know, I really don't know about Su Xinyi, and my wife didn't tell me about Su Xinyi at the time. I only handed over the Su family's property to the state treasury because I was loyal to the emperor. ?”

"You really don't know?"

Xue Qing was sweating in anxiety, and hurriedly said: "I really don't know! This Su Xinyi suddenly appeared, and I suspect that there is something wrong with her identity. She said that she is from the Su family. What proof does she have? Maybe she is here to defraud the Su family's property!"

At this moment, Jing Bianhou sneered and said: "Mr. Zuo's words are interesting. Regardless of whether the woman is from the Su family or not, the land deeds and house deeds she got are all real. These high promotions have been confirmed. Why? Mr. Zuo, what is this?" Can't bear it, or are you afraid that if the orphan girl finds out something, then it won't end?"

"Could it be that Prime Minister Zuo feels that there is something wrong with the woman's identity, and those things don't belong to her? Besides, the Su family is dead now, who can prove that the woman is not from the Su family?"

Xue Qing hurriedly said: "I don't mean that, the Marquis of Jingbian is too forceful!"

"Whether I'm making too much of a point or not, Prime Minister Zuo knows that. Are you going to give the emperor the reputation of occupying the orphan girl's property? It's really ulterior motives!"

"I didn't, I dare not do this! Your Majesty is clearly aware! Marquis Jingbian is targeting me everywhere today. What is the meaning of this? How did I offend you? You want to add insult to injury like this!"

"I'm just discussing the matter as it stands, why does Prime Minister Zuo think it's aimed at you! Or do you have ghosts in your heart!"

"Jing Bianhou, don't bully others too much!"

With a "snap", the emperor picked up the paperweight on the table and slapped it hard.

"Shut up all of you! You are all officials of the imperial court, so it's not proper to argue like this!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, the two stopped arguing.

"You don't need to say any more, I've made up my mind. Those things belonged to the Su family. Now that the Su family has appeared, they will naturally return them!"

"Immediately make an order to order the household department to organize the Su family's property immediately, hand it over to Gao Sheng, and return it to Su Xinyi as soon as possible!"

Xue Qing was secretly relieved when he heard that the matter was handled by the Ministry of Accounts, and things would be much easier to handle when he arrived at the Ministry of Accounts.Jing Bianhou sneered at the side.

Unexpectedly, Gao Sheng said suddenly at this time: "My Majesty, I went to the Ministry of Households to check before entering the palace. Some properties of the Su family disappeared inexplicably back then."

"disappear?"

Gao Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I went to the household department to ask, and that's what the people in the household department told me."

"Come here, Chen Wanquan from the Household Department!"

Seeing this, Xue Qing felt a little uneasy, always thinking that something would happen here.

……

"Chen Wanquan pays homage to the emperor!"

"I ask you, what is going on with the Su family's property? What do you mean by disappearing? What is the purpose of you, the Minister of the Household Department!"

When Chen Wanquan heard that it was indeed the matter of the Su family, his heart sank.When he heard that the orphan girl of the Su family came to ask for their property back, he checked it out, and only then found that all the things that belonged to the Su family were gone, so he knew something big was going to happen.

"Back to the emperor, I personally went to investigate. The land deeds and house deeds of the Zhuangzi shop that originally belonged to the Su family were gone, and some rare items from the Su family were also missing. After careful inspection, I found that these things are all It was handled by Cui Yuan, former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and now there is no way to find out."

Speaking of Cui Yuan, the emperor's expression turned ugly, and he remembered the big corruption case.From this point of view, there may still be fish that slipped through the net in that case.

"Chen Wanquan, go back immediately and sort out all the things that disappeared, and write a note for me. Remember to write everything clearly, and record the properties that the descendants of the Su family want to return, and compare them."

At this moment, Chen Wanquan took out a memorial from his bosom and handed it over, saying: "I prepared it before I came, and now I present it to the emperor!"

Seeing this, Xue Qing felt that something was wrong. He handed in those things back then, and Chen Wanquan should have told himself before writing the notes. This time, he did so much quietly, but he didn't know it at all.

After reading the memorial, the emperor was very satisfied with Chen Wanquan, and his face was not as ugly as it was at first.

After everyone retreated, the emperor said softly: "Lu You, what do you think of today's events?"

Eunuch Lu, who was serving at the side, quickly said: "I don't really understand, I only know that there are some articles in it."

The emperor laughed, "It's rare for you to tell the truth!"

"Today's incident clearly happened. Someone colluded with Cui Yuan and took the money from the household department as his own."

Lu You handed over a new cup of tea and put it in front of the emperor, then continued: "That's right, who is the emperor planning to ask for investigation?"

The emperor pondered for a while, but he didn't think who would be more appropriate to entrust this matter to.If you hand it over to Marquis Jingbian, he will definitely pour water on Xue Qing, but he is not at ease if you hand it over to someone else.

At this time, Lu You said: "This matter is really difficult to handle. It is best to find someone with high status who is not afraid of anything."

He does not mean that.

The emperor's eyes lit up, how could he forget about that little dude, looking around the entire capital, he was never afraid of anyone.

"Come here, announce that the prince's son will enter the palace."

……

Xiao Muyun came to the imperial study room impatiently, and waved his hands casually, "I have seen the emperor!"

The emperor laughed when he saw this, this kid has been like this since he was a child, and he hasn't made any progress in so many years.

"Be serious, I have business for you to do!"

Xiao Muyun frowned, "Where are there so many important things, so many officials, what should I do? Let me tell you first, I don't know anything except drinking and fighting cockfights!"

Seeing this, the emperor was so angry that his eyebrows twitched, "How old are you, and you hang out with those cronies all day long, when will you be able to do something serious!"

Seeing this, Xiao Muyun seemed to think seriously for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, I thought about it, and I really don't know anything!"

"You! I really don't know how someone like the old prince can teach a grandson like you!"

Xiao Muyun curled her lips and said proudly: "The old man beat me for nothing, but he didn't teach me anything. I'm all self-taught!"

"I don't want you to do anything else, just find out who the owner of the Zhuangzi shop above is!" After speaking, he handed him a list.

Xiao Muyun looked unhappy, "Your Majesty, is this a serious matter? With my status, you let me do this?"

The emperor laughed helplessly, "This matter is very important, and I will reward you heavily if you do it well!"

Hearing this, Xiao Muyun laughed, "I heard that a group of good horses came to the palace, I want to pick a peerless horse, and kill all those boys' horses!"

The emperor agreed with a smile, and Xiao Muyun happily left.
