Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 448 Reversing Black and White

The account book was brought over, and it was the account book that did not accept bribes. The housekeeper said it was wrong, saying that this is the one we usually see, and the previous account book was a hidden account book. However, the master said that he was backed by Su Ruoqi, so he was not afraid.Lou Xiaoya said that now she can be sure that the butler was ordered by someone, which is a gesture of wanting to be fooled.The emperor didn't intend to listen to this case at first, but when he heard about Su Ruoqi, he suddenly regained his energy and asked Xu Zheng to explain clearly whether there was really such a thing.Said so.

After a while, the guard who went to search returned with the results of his search.Seeing the emperor kneeling down respectfully, and after being flattened without courtesy, Mr. Wang asked, "Has there been any results?"

The first person presented an account book in his hand, with the word vertical account book written on the blue face, which fell into the eyes of the people present, and they all tightened their chests. Xu Zheng looked at the thing that was found, The eyes kept moving for a moment, the hand in the sleeve loosened and then tightened and loosened again. This is the last hope. I am afraid that there is no chance now. I just hope that she can understand the meaning I conveyed to Lou Xiaoya. This time Never owe anyone anything.

"Where are the account books found?" Mr. Wang slapped the gavel and asked in a cold voice.

"My lord, this thing was found in a neck pillow in a room in Xu Zheng's mansion." Following the words, the guard put the thing in his hand on the wooden table in front of Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang took the account book and wanted to look through it, but then his eyes fell on the emperor next to him. Seeing the emperor shook his head slightly, he started to check it on his own.

Roughly flipping through from the beginning to the end, Mr. Wang concentrated on checking the contents of the account books, but did not find any bribery records.

Xu Zheng, who was at the bottom, felt a sense of uneasiness slowly rolling in his heart, just waiting for Lord Wang to speak.

Lou Xiaoya saw this scene and heard that the account book had indeed been found from her pillow. She felt even more moved by Xu Zheng. He was so relieved of himself and kept such important things by his side, but why, He never told himself.Reminiscent of what Yun Xi said before, after thinking about it, he knew that he didn't want to involve himself, and the sourness was self-evidently permeating in his heart.

Looking at the clean account book in front of him, Mr. Wang was thoughtful, and sternly shouted at the housekeeper: "The content recorded in the capital account book is a normal account transaction. The details are clear and there is no sign of bribery. How do you explain it?"

Hearing this, Xu Zheng felt a little more hope in his heart. It seemed that they hadn't had time to make a move on the account, so what was passed on was still the one he had hidden before. He was about to speak, but the housekeeper answered first.

The butler was babbling anxiously, but no one understood, and then he saw the butler raised his hand and gestured: "Your Excellency, I don't know, the capital account book is the account book that Xu Zheng presents to the public on weekdays, so there is no record on it." Any signs of bribery, please be on the lookout for your lord.

Xu Zheng couldn't help but get angry when he heard this: "My lord, this person is talking nonsense. If I wanted to hide it, I would definitely hide the account book that showed signs of bribery. Why did I hide this account book in the mansion, and the family The account that was supposed to be a bribery plan was made public. This person's words are full of loopholes, and I hope you will see clearly."

Lord Wang's eyes were sharp, and he looked straight at the steward, with a deterrent meaning that made people stunned: "That's true, this clean account is only open to the people who look at it according to ordinary people's way, why hide it? You How to explain!"

The steward kowtowed again and again in fright, Prime Minister Li saw that the situation was not good: "The steward told the truth and told Mr. Wang in detail what you know."

The housekeeper nodded again and again and began to gesture: "Originally Xu Zheng hid the account book that recorded the bribery, but Xu Zheng hid this clean account book at home because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed. The account book I was looking at was the one handed in now. When I knew Xu Zhen was doing this, I also persuaded my master not to take money and pervert the law to do such a rebellious thing. There is no reason why you don’t wet your shoes when you often walk by the river. Such violations of the rules and regulations will definitely bring disasters, but no matter how hard I try to persuade, it will be useless."

"You're talking nonsense here. If I hid this clean account book at home and the matter was revealed at that time, how could I hide it in one place?" Xu Zheng's eyes were sharp, filled with anger.

Hearing this, the butler didn't dare to look at Xu Zheng, shook his head repeatedly, and started to gesture: "Master, what you said at the time was not what it is now. I tried to persuade you at that time, but you still insisted on going your own way."

He gestured and raised his finger to Su Ruoqi: You also said that someone is behind you, and you can protect yourself no matter what happens, so you have nothing to fear. The person who is behind you is Su Ruoqi.

Xu Zheng hurriedly turned his head to look at Su Ruoqi, shook his head again and again, made a bow, and said to Mr. Wang, "It's absolutely nothing." The words were sonorous.

The butler also kowtowed repeatedly, pointing to the people present with gestures.

Lou Xiaoya listened to the words that confuse black and white, stood up abruptly, bowed to Mr. Wang, then raised her hand and pointed to the butler who was kneeling down: "My lord, this person has ulterior motives, since even the current crown prince dares to If he was alone, he might not be able to do such a bold thing and frame the royal family, but the crime of implicating the nine families must be ordered by others to dare to say such a reckless crime, and the person behind it may be He wanted to make a bunch of actions, but he was full of nonsense indiscriminately, his words are so false, I hope His Majesty will see clearly."

Mr. Wang didn't know who to listen to for a while, and was about to ask again, when the emperor who was the leader suddenly said: "You said that Xu Zheng has someone behind him, and the person who backed him is right?" It's Su Ruoqi, you can take it seriously, if there are false words, you will know the consequences."

The words were neither serious nor serious, but there was a faint murderous air, followed by Lou Xiaoya's words, and questioned Su Ruoqi on this point.

The butler was so frightened that he was trembling all over, and nodded repeatedly, expressing that he did not dare.

The emperor hummed thoughtfully, rubbed his cheeks with his hands, turned his head to look at Xu Zheng after a little thought, and asked, "The butler said Chen Qingwen, you said that you have Su Ruoqi behind you, is this true or false?" , have you ever said this, and told it in detail, you must not lie in the slightest."

Xu Zheng suppressed the anger in his heart, cleared up his thoughts, bowed neither humble nor overbearing, and admitted that he had a clear conscience, and slowly said what he said in his heart: "Yes, Your Majesty, I think that I am honest and honest, and I will never dare to live up to the trust of the Emperor. Don't dare to live up to the trust of the common people. I have never done anything that the housekeeper identified. The account book that is hidden in the humble house of the official is just a backup in case the account is lost, not according to others. There are two different account books, and I have never told him the nonsense. As for the prince, I will never dare to talk nonsense. Such words are against the law of heaven. I can swear to the sky that I will never occur."

The voice was not loud but serious, the emperor didn't express his opinion when he heard it, and played with the white porcelain teacup in front of his desk thoughtfully.
