Chapter 480

The next day, it was rare for Shutong to stay up late, and she didn't expect someone to wake up earlier than her.

Just sat down to have breakfast, someone reported that the two princesses, Anshun and Anping, had arrived.

Shutong didn't move, and continued to eat and drink.

When the two princesses were brought in, they were not dissatisfied when they saw that the hosts did not greet them warmly, but smiled instead.

"Eldest Princess! We are early, so I will disturb your meal!"

Shutong smiled, "Have you eaten? Do you want to sit down and eat?"

The two princesses shook their heads again and again, and went to the flower hall to sit and drink tea.

Shutong had a full meal and came over to sit down to digest.

Princess Anshun was impatient, and asked: "The Eldest Princess sent a message yesterday, saying that she has something to do with us today, and I've been thinking about it all night!"

Shutong smiled, "I have accepted His Majesty's errand to collect the accounts for the Ministry of Accounts. Anyway, you are idle, why don't you go and have a look with me!"

"Okay!" The two princesses nodded at the same time.

Princess Anshun's eyes lit up, "Eldest Princess, do we need to bring more guards?"

Shutong pursed her lips and smiled, "You thought you were going to raid the house!"

Princess Anping also smiled, "I don't know where to go today?"

Shutong put down the teacup, "The one who owes the most debts, Li Guogong!"

"So it's his house!" Princess Anshun curled her lips and sneered contemptuously, but said nothing more.

After boarding the car and setting off, we arrived at the entrance of the alley where the Duke of Li's mansion was located. Not far away, we saw the Minister of the Household Department.

He came earlier and brought a group of servants to wait!
"Your official has seen Princess Eldest, Princess Anshun, and Princess Anping!"

Shutong got out of the carriage, and saw that the alley was wide, with a high wall, the mansion of Li Guogong was huge, and the gate was built in a majestic style.

It's a rest day today, the masters of Li Guogong's mansion didn't go to court, and the guards opened the door a quarter of an hour later than usual.

As a result, when the gate was opened, he was shocked to find a group of soldiers surrounded the alley.

Thinking about it again, Duke Li's mansion is one of the top ten meritorious service in the founding of the country, and the current Duke of Li used to be Princess Shuhui's son-in-law. Based on this relationship, no one should raid the house, right?

Immediately reported to the steward, but the steward was sleepy and asked someone to go up to question him.

But it turned out that the servant of the household department was on business!
A small servant of the household department, the Liguo Mansion has nothing to do with him, and the servant of the household department did not send a greeting card!
It shouldn't be directed at Li Guogong's mansion!
The servant of the household department led a group of messengers and stopped at the entrance of the alley, looking like he was waiting for someone!
The housekeeper laughed for a moment, and scolded the doorman for making such a fuss!

But the servant of the household department is also the same. He ran to Qingzhu alley and waited for someone. There is only Li Guogong's family in this alley!
But they didn't take the initiative to come, and they didn't bother to pay attention. The door was wide open, and there were long benches on both sides, and the guards sat and chatted.

I was bragging about winning money from a card game last night, when I suddenly heard a commotion at the entrance of Qingzhu Alley, and a carriage approached from a distance.

Then everyone stopped talking and stood up to wait and see.

Finding that the car had stopped and a group of noble ladies got off, the servant of the household department trotted forward.

Seeing his obsequious appearance, the steward squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to find that those noble ladies did not know him.

He thought again, did he come to see the lady in the mansion?I've never heard of someone sending invitations to your door!

In the blink of an eye, the servant of the household department has already led people towards the gate.

The housekeeper had to step forward, "I don't know how many people, who do you want to talk to?"

Shutong was busy looking at the gate of Li Guogong's mansion, he looked quite dignified, he didn't look like he had no money!
The Minister of the Household Department took a step forward, "This is Princess Zhen Guo, and these two are Princess Anshun and Princess Anping! Let your father-in-law come out to greet you soon!"

The butler was taken aback, why did the good princess come here?And let the Duke come out to greet him?

He winked to let the young servant enter the mansion to answer, and at the same time pretended to recognize it, bowed and said: "It turns out to be the servant, the villain has poor eyesight!"

He asked in a low voice, "My lord, I don't know how many princesses are here...?"

"What are you talking about, tell your master to come out, and say that we are here to collect debts!" ​​Shutong noticed the housekeeper winking, and was a little unhappy.

The butler shuddered, asking for debts, it was a big joke, who would dare to come to the Duke's mansion to collect debts?
His eyes swept over the three of Shutong wantonly, could it be that some young lady in the house owed the princess?

But this is coming to ask for a bill, are these princesses shameless?
Seeing his presumptuous gaze, the servant of the household department scolded, "What are you still doing in a daze? Get out of the way!"

He brought fifty messengers with him on this trip, and they rushed forward to push the gatekeeper away.

The servant of the household department let Shutong and others in.

Originally, Shutong had no intention of bringing anyone with him, but after listening to Princess Anshun's advice, he brought the Erdangjia and his dozens of former bandits along!
For things like debt collection, it is better for bandits to go out!
Seeing their aggressiveness, the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion became anxious, "Hey! Wait, you can't all enter!"

The second master has already rushed forward and pushed the steward away, "About you! Where are the dog's eyes meowing? Princess Zhen Guo is also someone like you who can see! Get out!"

Seeing that he was about to resist, he kicked him away.

Seeing someone making trouble, the faces of the people at the door were ugly, and they wanted to surround them, but unfortunately there were too many people.

Erdangjia sneered, "You really don't have eyes, the princess of Zhen Guo has already arrived at the door, and you still dare to block the way? Are you trying to rebel!"

The Erdang family and the bandits have always followed the Eldest Princess as their leader, but now seeing the corner of the master's mouth smiling, they rushed forward with their chests straightened out.

A group of people swaggered in, and even pushed away the gatekeepers of the Duke's Mansion, allowing the middle door of the Duke's Mansion to open wide.

Entering the gate, bypassing the screen wall, I saw a group of people approaching from a distance, and the person in the middle was walking like a tiger, with a face full of frost.

The two sides met face to face, and the Minister of the Household Department took a step forward, "I pay my respects to the Duke!"

The Duke of Li was middle-aged, fair-skinned and elegant.

Take a look at Shutong, he is an elderly boy, no wonder he can still be a princess!
"It turned out to be Mr. Qian. I don't know what is the matter that you mobilized people to break into my residence?"

Duke Li was born in a family of meritorious service, and he has a title of honor on his body. A small servant of the household department can't catch his eyes!
Shutong Yile, it turns out that the servant of the household department is surnamed Qian!Suitable!
Hubu Shilang came today with a mission, and there is Princess Zhen Guozhang behind him!

To be honest, what he saw and heard in the imperial study that day opened his eyes.

Knowing that the princess of Zhen Guo should not be underestimated, not only her force is amazing, but also she doesn't play cards rationally, the most important thing is that His Majesty attaches great importance to her!
He has such a big man behind him, so he might as well use his power!

Nonsence!It is serious work!

Regardless of whether you can get back the debt, at least you must suppress the arrogance of these honorable families!

The Minister of the Household Department took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "I have met the Duke of the State! I am here today to ask the Duke's Mansion for an old debt owed to the Ministry of Accounts. I hope the Duke of the State will cooperate!"

A look of anger appeared on Li Guogong's fair face, "What old accounts, I don't even know!"

The household servant did not speak.

But Shutong laughed and said, "Do you want to deny the ready-made black and white paper?"

Ever since Hengxuan came to power, many veteran nobles were afraid that he would settle old scores, and would not go to court easily on the grounds of recuperation!

Duke Li used to have an official position, but unfortunately after the downfall of King Zhennan, he was dismissed, and now only the title of Duke remains!

He has been sick at home for several months, and he doesn't recognize the three women in front of him at all.

He shouted: "Where did the little girl come from? You are not ashamed to speak up here!"
