Chapter 192 Ji Wutian Returns

Ji Xiaoyang was so smoked that he yelled, "It stinks to death!"

How could the butler Gu let the two masters suffer this crime, so he hurriedly asked Li Wencai to be carried out, find a place to lock him up, and deal with it later.

Ji Xiaoyang fanned her hands in front of her face, trying to shake off the remaining aftertaste, her face was full of disgust, "We didn't do anything, we were so scared that we peed our pants, we were so timid and so arrogant just now, Really boring."

Qi Susu said: "It's just a fox pretending to be a tiger. The tiger is not at home, and the monkey is called the king. In the past few years, your father and king have not come, and some people have forgotten how to write the word 'duty'."

These words not only refer to Li Wencai, who is relying on the prestige of Steward Li, but also remind Nanny Chai who is still present.

Interrupted by Li Wencai, Nanny Chai couldn't find a chance to be miserable, and Qi Susu didn't give her this chance.

As the nanny of the prince, she was really not very good at controlling her sense of proportion, so she simply put aside the matter of dealing with Nanny Chai for the time being, and dealt with the matter of Butler Li and his son first.

Apart from Nanny Chai, the other problem in the Palace that Steward Gu mentioned before was referring to Li Wencai, the son of the steward.

Steward Li is just such a son, and he has always been pampered and indulged by him. In addition, he can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand in the palace. Li Wencai's status in the palace is naturally extraordinary. Even in the entire Anyang Palace, Li Wencai is the number one There are many second-generation merchants and second-generation officials who follow behind him as his younger brothers. What a prestige!

Gu Butler found the real accounts from Steward Li's room. According to the records inside and the confession of the accountant in the mansion, Li Wencai can withdraw money from the accountant of the palace at will. However, in the account book sent to the palace of the capital, these expenditures are all counted in the human relations with the wealthy gentry, dignitaries and dignitaries in the fief.

But in fact, in these years, Steward Li has not paid much tribute to the local dignitaries at all. Even if the ceremonies are returned, they are mostly worthless things. The rest of the money is for their father and son to live happily.

The additional expenditure of thousands of taels of silver a year, except for the first one or two years, can be restrained a little, and the rest is basically confident. After a few years of accumulation, it can add up to 5000 taels.

Nanny Chai and Chen Qingqing are not too many in this regard, it is scary for women to buy all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.

Together, the two families lost tens of thousands of taels of silver to the palace in five years.

Both Qi Susu and Ji Xiaoyang love money, and after calculating this statistic, they felt so distressed that they wanted to cut these four people into pieces.

Qi Susu laughed back angrily: "The palace doesn't raise a housekeeper and nanny, but a bunch of moths!"

Butler Gu's face was also frighteningly dark.

Looking at Butler Li and Nanny Chai, they usually didn't feel anything when they spent money. It wasn't until they calculated the specific amount and thought about the consequences of being known by the prince that they really realized the seriousness of the matter.

But it just so happened that at this moment, the guards outside came to report that the lord is back!
The faces of the two were instantly pale and bloodless.

Qi Susu chuckled, "It's just in time to come back."

It was Sishichu when they entered the city, and they were delayed for some time by Steward Li and Chen Qingqing, and before they knew it, it was almost noon.

It stands to reason that Ji Wutian went to the government office to do business and couldn't come back for a while, so it would not be uncommon for him to come back after leaving the government office in the evening.

The reason why he came back so early was that the dark guard had reported the news to him, so he came back early.

Not long after the guard reported, Ji Wutian strode into the hall.

After all, Nanny Chai is the nanny who watched Ji Wutian grow up, and she has no feelings for him at all. She hasn't seen him for several years, so she inevitably wants to meet him excitedly.

Ji Xiaoyang was faster. She jumped off the chair and threw herself into the arms of her father, and complained loudly: "Father! We are almost bullied to death! You must vent your anger on me and my concubine!" !" Even being bullied by outsiders in his own home, if he can't help them out, hmph, he'll run away with his mother!

Qi Susu didn't complain. As a princess, she had to keep her dignity and not drop her price.

It is enough to sue this kind of matter to the young son and the butler Gu.

"My lord..." Nanny Chai reluctantly called out in a tone full of emotion.

Ji Wutian, who had already obtained some information from the hidden guards, ignored her nanny, but looked at the butler Gu, who knowingly told them all about what happened after they arrived at the palace. What happened next made Nanny Chai, who wanted to defend herself, speechless, unable to open her mouth to plead for mercy.

Most of what Ji Wutian knew happened at the gate of the palace. After Qi Susu and the others entered, the secret guards had already gone to the mansion to inform him, so they didn't know what happened.

I heard from Butler Gu that a butler’s son dared to clamor for his wife and children to go away, and that he could find anyone from the government office to dispatch him, as well as the flowers of Li’s father and son and Mother Chai’s mother and daughter recorded in the ledger. Pin, his face was so gloomy that he almost dripped ink.

Qi Susu signaled the guards in the hall to untie the ropes on Steward Li and Chen Qingqing, who had been neglected for a long time. Steward Li knelt down tremblingly to greet Ji Wutian, shouted "I have seen the prince", and then said Not daring to say a word, he lowered his head and trembled all over.

On the other hand, Chen Qingqing, how much money she and her mother spent in the palace that shouldn't be spent, and the deeds of living in the backyard of the palace without authorization and pretending to be the hostess in the market have all been exposed, but she has not yet come to her senses. Looking at Ji Wutian's eyes, It was full of explicit affection, so lingering and crooked that Qi Susu lost his appetite.

Although she knew that Ji Wutian and Chen Qingqing were fine, she still felt that the top of her head was green!

However, Chen Qingqing was still a bit thin-skinned, she was addicted to Ji Wutian's "beauty" and was awakened by the pain on her face that hadn't disappeared after a while, thinking of her embarrassment at this time, she lowered her head again in shame, deeply afraid of her own death. The ugliness left a bad impression on the prince.

But she didn't want to think about it, just based on what Steward Gu said just now, no matter how beautiful she is now, Ji Wutian would not take a second look at her.

Qi Susu said calmly: "The account books found by Steward Gu are only a small part, and the rest may have to be checked again."

There is no need to worry about Steward Li and Nanny Chai daring to reach out for the taxation of the fief, but it is hard to say about other things.

After she returned to the capital to take over the internal affairs of the palace, Steward Gu showed him the accounts sent here, among which the expenditure on human relations was not as much as in the accounts just found.

Where did Steward Li and Nanny Chai come from for spending so much money?

Ji Wutian also has a lot of properties in the fiefdom, restaurants, Zhuangzi, inns... Are the profit accounts in them also adulterated?According to what Li Wencai said, the local dignitaries have had a lot of contacts with Steward Li, and how many of them are the red envelopes and bribes they got from the power of others?

There are a lot of articles here.

If you really count all the accounts, the ill-gotten gains these guys have spent in recent years may be five or six times more than ten thousand taels.

Leaving aside the benefits of those red envelopes, just thinking about the money that may be deducted from the profits of various industries makes Qi Susu feel so distressed that he bleeds!
That's all Ji Wutian's money, rounded up, it's the money that her son will inherit in the future!

Taking a step back, even if the money is used to help the victims of the disaster-stricken area, it is better than letting these moths squander it at will.

Ji Wutian ordered with a gloomy face: "All the accounts of the palace in the past few years, the profits of all properties under the name of the king of the three palaces, all the relationships between Steward Li and Li Wencai, and the deeds of the past few years, all have been thoroughly investigated! "

Qi Susu only thought of the money they spent, but he thought of more.

Just based on the crazy words Li Wencai said, it can be seen that this person is not a good guy. With Steward Li as his support, besides spending a lot of money on him, has he ever cooked fish in the name of Prince Yu's Mansion? Common people, bullying others?
As soon as the words fell, Li Haiping's body shook even more violently, and Ji Wutian became more certain of his guess when he saw this.

The displeasure of his wife and children whom he cared about the most, coupled with the anger caused by Steward Li's deceit and indulgence of his son's troubles, made Ji Wutian get angry, and with a wave of his sleeves, he threw Li Haiping to the ground. After leaving the hall, it flew directly into the courtyard.

The huge impact made the middle-aged man, who had lived as the emperor for several years, spit out a big mouthful of blood with a 'poof'.

This is much more ruthless than when Nan Xing kicked his son Li Wencai before!

Nanny Chai, who was still a little lucky, really trembled this time.

She never expected that the prince would do it as soon as he said it, there was no sign at all, the only thing left in her heart was to complain, to turn black and white, and to fight back like a tide. With emotions, she squeezed out a few tears, and said in a miserable voice: "My lord, I have been thinking about your safety at the border all these years, and today I can finally see that you are safe and sound, and you have such a smart son, The servant is willing to die."

Qi Susu let out a 'yo ha' in her heart, and looked at Nanny Chai with teasing and thought-provoking eyes.

She used to call herself a civilian woman in front of her, but now she is a slave again?
Da Yin doesn't like people to call themselves slaves, and Nanny Chai suddenly said that, it's nothing more than retreating, taking the initiative to put herself in a very low position to win sympathy.

After all, she and Ji Wutian have a part of the grace of nurturing. They are considered half elders. How can the elders be so submissive, can they not take it seriously?
Chai Momo continued to sell miserably, "In these years, because I never saw the prince, the servants could only use other methods to divert their attention, and they failed to find out in time that Steward Li had secretly paid so much money and used his literary talents It’s not what it looks like, and there are a lot of troubles outside, it’s really ashamed of the prince, and of the trust of the former emperor and the former empress.”

Another misfortune was diverted to the east, and the first emperor and first empress were pulled out. The ability to pull the banner is very powerful.
