Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 353 Account Book (2)
Just as Mrs. Naru was about to speak, she saw the curtain of the tent door being lifted. Mrs. Zhao hurried in with a few maids. When she saw Wanqing, she said: "Princess, the minister's wife is guilty, and the minister's wife is not strict with the family. Even let this bitch take advantage of the loopholes and put the governor and my master in danger, the minister's wife really deserves to die."

Wanqing was astonished when she heard this, she recognized the crime too easily and too timely, at least it took some trouble, why is it that Madam Zhao confessed the crime just as Madam was about to speak?

"Oh, what do you mean Madam Zhao? Could it be that the two people who defected were really taken in and protected by Madam Zhao?"

"No, the Zhao family is deeply indebted to the emperor, so how could they do such a rebellious thing? It's just that my wife's husband, who is lustful, was fascinated by this vixen, pampered and pampered her, and made this bitch stand behind my husband's back and hide my rebellion secretly." The traitors have trapped my husband and wife in unrighteousness."

"Then why, when Madam and Mr. Zhao were asked earlier, Madam did not expose her, but she came to expose her now?" Wanqing asked with a sneer.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao grabbed a girl beside her and pressed her to the ground: "If you go back to the princess, the minister's wife is also very scared after what happened last night. I woke up this morning and started to investigate. As expected, I did the investigation." Seeing that this girl is different, after being pressed, I found out that she is helping this bitch, delivering news for that traitor every day, and sending tea and food..."

Wanqing frowned when she heard that, this is a typical handsome man who lost his car, she couldn't help but looked at Madam Ru again, Madam Ru was sweating profusely, after hearing Madam Zhao's words, her eyes widened, "Madam... you……"

The woman next to Mrs. Zhao saw her and slapped her across the face: "Don't think that you can be disrespectful to your wife because the master dotes on you. He Xiang has already confessed, so why don't you come here quickly? You want to kill the master and wife Is it?"

Several red handprints immediately appeared on Mrs. Naru's face, and the corners of her mouth were also oozing blood. She opened her mouth, and just when she was about to speak, a large amount of blood suddenly gushed out from her nose and mouth. Soon, her body tilted , Then he died.

Wanqing was shocked, she just got a little bit of poisonous powder on the Bu Yao, according to what the prince said, it should not have killed people so quickly, the drug was used until Madam Ru died, but it took less than a quarter of an hour, Madam Ru died After she died, she couldn't help approaching Mrs. Naru, wanting to see if there were any scars on her face, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly held her back and said: "The daughter of the princess, you can't touch this filth, so as not to get bad luck. "

Over there, Shangguan Yeli found out that the old soldier had exchanged accounts privately, so he invited Mr. Zhao over and asked the veteran to confess who instigated him. What shocked Shangguan Yeli was that the veteran actually said that it was Mr. Zhao. For example, the wife gave him 100 taels of silver to bribe him to falsify the account books. This veteran is just greedy for money and doesn't know that Shou Wang is hidden in the convoy.

When Mr. Zhao heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly pleaded guilty to Shangguan Yeli, arguing that he didn't know what Mrs. Ru did, and Shangguan Yeli naturally couldn't do it, so he went to Mrs. Ru's tent together with Mr. Zhao However, I don’t know that Mrs. Ru has already died. As a result, although there are many doubts, there is no proof of death. The maids and veterans all testify that Mrs. Ru planned and took in the master and servant of Shou Wang. Even the maid beside Mrs. Ru also confessed. He said that Mr. Zhao and his wife didn't know about this matter. If Mr. Zhao was picked clean, even if they were prosecuted, it would only be joint and several, and they would be blamed for the crime of lax family management and lust.

Shangguan Yeli had a sullen face, knowing that Mr. Zhao was tricky, but there was nothing he could do about it. Mr. Zhao was not his direct subordinate. The two were only responsible for the transportation of grain and grass this time. Once they arrived at Lantau Pass and delivered the grain to King Kang, Shangguan Yeli was about to take up his post in Longjing Town, and Mr. Zhao was going back to the Ministry of War.

Therefore, he can't do anything to Mr. Zhao, he can only write down the matter, and when he sees King Kang, he will hand it over to King Kang, who will deal with Mr. Zhao.

It's really hard for Wanqing to investigate further. No matter what, the death of Mrs. Ru is also related to me. I poisoned her. Instead, involve yourself.

Mr. Zhao kept admitting his mistakes to Shangguan Yeli, begging Shangguan Yeli to forgive him, and so on. Shangguan Yeli thought about it, the most important thing now is the safety of food and grass. Mr. Zhao is the food delivery officer, which is his main responsibility. , and should not tamper with the grain and grass. If there is a problem with the grain and grass, he is guilty, and he will not be able to escape at night.

So, Shangguan Yeli pretended to reprimand Master Zhao a few words, and then said a few words of comfort, and took Wanqing out of the tent. When Wanqing turned her head, she inadvertently saw Master Zhao staring at Mrs. Zhao resentfully, and The madam narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a look of victory in her eyes.

Wanqing then understood that the biggest winner in this matter might be Mrs. Zhao. The master and servant of the King of Shou stayed in the Zhao family. , and removed the rival in love, it was a double harvest.

After another two days of driving, they finally arrived at Longjing Town. The team rested overnight in Longjing Town. Shangguan Yeli took Wanqing straight to the Dudu Mansion. The former governor did not bring his family to take up the post. Except for the front yard which is fairly tidy, the backyard is overgrown with weeds and the tiled roofs are dilapidated. There are still a few side houses in the yards that lack beams and tiles. It is really not suitable for people to live in. That’s right, this place is located in northern Xinjiang, a poor village, and ordinary officials come here because of their seniority and meritorious service. It is difficult to collect money, and the money allocated by the court is not much. Who wants to spend money on this governor who will not live for a few years? Inside the mansion, the Dudu's mansion is naturally dilapidated.

Shangguan Yeli was in a hurry to go to Lantau Pass to deliver food, and for a while, he couldn't repair the governor's mansion. After he sent Wanqing to the backyard, he felt very guilty when he saw the desolation everywhere, but Wanqing was happy Obviously, the more dilapidated the place is, the simpler it is. Thinking that in the future, only the husband and wife will live here, with a group of people she trusts, and finally get rid of the intriguing life in the capital, she is in a happy mood. Xiu, don’t be afraid of life being difficult, as long as you are happy.

Wanqing led the people into the inner courtyard and went straight to the main house. Fortunately, the main house was fairly tidy, although it was a bit moldy and messy, but after cleaning and smoking some wormwood, you can live in it.
