Chapter 273: Copy home

"Mother and concubine, these humble servants dare to be greedy for so much money. The huge palace was hollowed out by these assholes. The daughter-in-law asked the mother and concubine to order and send someone to copy these people’s homes. All the money that was greedy for ink came out."
Xiao Qin'er looked angry, so she almost took the initiative to ask Ying to copy the house.
Gu Jiu looked at Xiao Qin'er with a smile, knowing that when he mentioned money, the other party would take the initiative to jump out.
Mother Qin paled.
She really didn't expect that Gu Jiu would actually check the accounts, Cha Zhu and the others were greedy for ink.
After all, the people around Gu Jiu were not familiar with the palace at such a short time, and they couldn't find out if they wanted to.
People under the palace are all relatives connected to relatives, and no one dares to talk nonsense.
However, she still underestimated Gu Jiu's ability.
There is no need to go to the kitchen to investigate, and there is no need to obtain evidence.
Directly call out the kitchen account book, compare prices, white and black, do not fake.
As long as you are careful enough to check the tricky things in the ledger, check one by one.
After all, I have been greedy for so much money, I have to find a way to settle the accounts.
If you can't create something out of nothing, then increase the quantity and increase the price.
An egg with a penny, plus a price, becomes twenty penny.
One tael of lamb, add a price, turn into five taels.
One hundred chickens, change the number to two hundred chickens.
Anyone who has crossed the street and paid attention to the price will know the problem at a glance.
This trick is really ruthless.
What made Mother Qin even more frightened was that the fourth wife, Xiao Qin'er, also jumped out to join in the fun, and kept encouraging the princess to ransack the house.
Mother Qin was still hesitating, Pei had already made up her mind if she should speak up.
If only a few hundred taels or thousands of taels were greedy for ink, Pei would also close one eye.
But a rough calculation, in the past few years, less than tens of thousands of greedy ink, or even three to four thousand, Pei can not bear anything.
She immediately ordered, "Wen Zhong."
"The old slave is here."
Wen Zhong is the servant next to Pei's.
Pei said sharply: "Immediately bring the guards and go to these houses, copy them inside and out for the princess, and you are not allowed to leave one to this gang of worms. All the objects are registered. Afterwards, the princess took out two Yes, reward you."
Wen Zhong bowed and took his orders, "The old slave obeys his orders, and he will definitely live up to his mother's entrustment."
After speaking, Wen Zhongchao looked at Mother Qin, who was standing behind Pei's, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Mother Qin felt cold and had a bad feeling.
She hurriedly said: "Manny, do you want the slave and maidservant to go over and stare at it with Gong Gong?"
Pei glanced at her, "No. You stay with my princess."
Mother Qin was anxious, how could this be good?
The royal family ordered Master Shi to hurriedly came to Chunhetang, "See the princess and empress for the next official."
Pei directly threw the account book on his face, "Jia Ling, you tell the princess what is going on with these books? Don't tell the princess, you don't see the trickiness in it?
The moths in the kitchen were greedy for tens of thousands of dollars in just a few years. As a family member, you should play a supervisory role.
But what did you do? Did you pretend not to see it? Is it possible that the money that the kitchen is greedy for ink also has your share? "
Wangfu Jialing opened the account book, and the markings on it were clear.
When he saw it, he knew that it was the handwriting of Mrs. Gu Jiu.
Only the eldest lady has the ability to check all dozens of books in just one or two days.
He closed the ledger, bowed and said: "The supervision by the official is not good, please give me punishment."
"Of course this princess will punish you. But you should make things clear first. Why did you ignore such a serious corruption of ink? Why did the princess never hear you mention it?"
Pei is really angry.
She even dared to be greedy for her money, still tens of thousands, looking for death.
Concubine Shen Bian suddenly spoke out and persuaded: "The empress calms down her anger. Perhaps the family makes the adults have lasting difficulties."
"You shut up!" Pei sternly scolded Concubine Shen.
Concubine Shen Bianfang was embarrassed, which was really embarrassing.
Concubine Luo chuckles secretly and mocks Concubine Shen as untimely.
Pei pointed to Master Jia Ling, "Today you must explain the matter clearly, otherwise this princess will report to the prince Ming and hand you to the Shaofu Prison, and the Shaofu Prison will interrogate you."
Wangfujia Ling sighed. Now, he can only tell the truth.
"Qing Niangniang is not due to the lack of supervision by the officials. The officials have reported several times about the greed of ink in the kitchen, but the people around Niangniang blocked them. They also said that Niangniang already knew about it, and Niangniang knew it well. The officials thought, Maybe the mother didn’t move the kitchen because she had other profound meanings. Therefore, she didn’t know about it when she was under the authority."
Pei's face was beaten now.
She was visibly stunned, "You said you reported that the kitchen is greedy for ink several times, why this princess doesn't know at all."
After speaking, she looked at several confidantes beside her.
Several maids all bowed their heads with guilty conscience.
"Say! Who on earth blocked the family leader from returning? Whose family passed the order of the princess?"
Pei was out of anger.
OK!
A thousand guards against a thief is hard to guard.
After checking, it turned out that the source of the matter was by his side.
No wonder Gu Jiu moved the kitchen, and all the people below jumped out to excuse the people in the kitchen.
If Gu Jiu hadn't checked the account books and found evidence of corruption in the kitchen, Zhu's wife would have been rescued by them.
Ha ha!
Pei smiled coldly.
However, no one spoke.
Pei's face was distorted, and he asked sharply: "Sir Jia Ling, you directly tell the princess, who is the subordinates next to the princess, who will preach for you? Who pretends to be the princess's order?"
Wangfu Jialing bowed and said, "Qizi Niangniang, the four big maids around Xiguan and Niangniang, plus Mother Qin have contacted. But every time, they were blocked by them.
Originally, the official wanted to report to the prince, but Mother Qin said that the empress had already had a claim on the matter, and she urged the officer not to disturb the prince with internal affairs.
The lower official was confused, and after believing the mother, he suppressed the matter. "
"You talk nonsense!" Mother Qin was anxious, and she jumped out and pointed to the royal family order, "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me? Did the lady let you say that? Madame, you are of high authority. , You don’t have to be familiar with slaves."
Mother Qin knelt on the ground, crying, feeling wronged.
Gu Jiu had no expression on his face, "Mother, the family leader pointed out you, but you came to bite this lady. Why is that? Or in your eyes, the son is not here, is this lady good for bullying?"
"No slave and maid. Madam, you can't wrong the slave and maid."
Gu Jiu sneered, "Have you been wronged? After a while, Wen Gonggong will ransack his home, and everything will come to light. Or is it that the mother has not been able to wait for that time, because you know that Wen Gonggong will copy things that are not good for you, right? ?"
"No, it's not."
"Then you can clarify the matter. Master Jialing wants to meet the princess and empress, why do you block it and dare to give the princess's order? Are you afraid of death?"
A dead word shocked Mother Qin's mind.
She looked at Pei carefully.
Pei's face was pale, "What else do you have to say?
Madam Qin cried: "Wang Hao Mingjian, the servant girl is really wronged!"
Wangfu Jialing said: "The last time the next official asked to meet the Niang Niang and wanted to mention the kitchen corruption was on the second day of the grandson’s wedding last year. It was in the courtyard of Chunhe Hall. At that time, it was Mother General Qin. The lower officials blocked the return. Chen Liangyuan and Xu Cairen testified on this matter. Niangniang can send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly."
Time, place, and personal identification are all available.
How would Mother Qin refute now?
Maternal Qin's face paled, "Manny, the slave-maid knows that she was wrong. The slave-maid will never dare to again. Please give the slave-maid another chance."
"shut up!"
Pei was very disappointed and angry. "It's wasted that the princess valued you so much, and relied on you in everything, and treated you very well. As a result, you unexpectedly deceived the princess together with these maids. It is true that the princess is dead. , Can you leave it to you?"
The four maids knelt on the ground together, kowtow to plead guilty.
Pei said angrily: "This princess has cultivated her character over the past few years, and she will handle everything for you. This princess trusts you and usually doesn't care about it carefully afterwards.
In the end, you relied on the trust of your concubine to behave and tolerate greed. This is just a matter that has been found out, and what has not been found out, you have committed privately, I don’t know how many more things are.
This princess is so blind that she will reuse things that you are not as good as pigs and dogs. Come, drag them out and hand them over to Chang En. "
Chang En was a servant next to King Ning, and used to work as a servant for the execution division in the palace.
No one who falls into Chang En's hands can live intact. Immortality is also disabled.
In short, it ended badly.
The few maids and Mother Qin were all scared when they heard that they were about to be sent to Chang En.
Several people knocked their heads frequently, and their scalp was broken.
"Manny, spare your life, spare your life!"
"The slave and maid will never dare anymore, I beg your mother to forgive me."
"The slave maid exposes the report and asks Niang Niang for her life."
"The slaves and maids also revealed that Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo and the women in the kitchen are involved. A lot of the money that Zhu and the others are greedy for, have gone into the pockets of the two concubines."
"I'll kill you bastard."
Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo jumped up together and hit the maid who reported the report.
The attack was extremely vicious, and he was going to slap the opponent to death.
"Presumptuous! Just dare to do it in the face of the princess, do you have any princesses in your eyes? Come here, take care of concubine Shen and Concubine Luo. In addition, invite the prince."
Concubine Shen Bianfu said angrily: "The empress had ordered someone to take care of the two of us on the basis of a maid who didn't know the truth or not. I refused. Concubine Luo and I are also good-quality people with the jade butterfly gold book in hand. Never accept such a disposition."
Concubine Luo Fang nodded again and again, "Please also ask the empress to take her life back. This maid is eager to get out, and deliberately grabs me and waits, she must not be merciless.
"The maidservant did not lie, it is absolutely true. If the maidservant has a lie, he will be struck by thunder when he goes out."
The maid named Tangerine swears, her expression is firm. It seems that he has made up his mind to get out of the report.
The other maids were still a little hesitant and did not act.
Concubine Shen side angrily reprimanded, "Ban maid, who gave you the courage to make you bite indiscriminately. Do you know if you want to be killed by a stick?
The maid, Tangerine, said firmly: "The slave and maid are not framed, and everything is true."
Ouyang Fu suddenly stood up from her position and walked to Tangerine.
"Miju, I know you, your brother works in the Zhuangzi, and his sister-in-law works in the kitchen. My nephew learns from the stewardship. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about your family. Do you know that the master is not only You have to bear the consequences and your family will be implicated."
What a coercive trick.
Gu Jiu looked at Ouyang Fu with a smile. For the mother-in-law of Concubine Shen, Ouyang Fu really did it.
Ouyang Fu didn't care about anyone's gaze, she couldn't let Tangerine continue to bite.
What she said was not only a warning to Tangerine, but also a warning to others. You can still live if you manage your mouth well. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, not only will he be killed, but his family will also be implicated.
This threat worked.
The several maids who were still hesitating, all retreated, only to plead guilty, and did not dare to bite others.
Only tangerines stand in midair, unable to get up or down.
She was pale and frightened.
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "Second Sister-in-law, in front of the mother concubine, you dare to threaten people, why do you intend to?"
Got it!
Before the fight between Pei and the two concubines was finished, Xiao Qin'er and Ouyang Fu fought again.
Ouyang Fu looked back at Xiao Qin'er, "Four younger siblings, rice can be eaten randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. I just kindly reminded Tangerine to be careful when talking. Don't talk nonsense, it would be very dangerous."
Xiao Qin'er chuckled, "Mother concubine, take the maid of Tangerine down and let someone try it by himself. It's clear at a glance. No matter who it is, as long as he is greedy for money, he will all vomit it out."
Ouyang Fu smiled softly, "Four younger siblings, I remember that the sewing room reported damage last month, saying that a batch of silks were eaten by insects. By the way, how do you deal with the damaged silks? Today in the face of the mother concubine. , The four younger siblings might as well teach us."
Xiao Qin'er's face changed slightly, and she gritted her teeth at Ouyang Fu.
Ouyang Fu smiled contemptuously, fighting her, Xiao Qin'er was still a little tender.
Gu Jiu looked at this scene with a smile.
She knew that when the two of them fought, Xiao Qin'er would definitely suffer.
Xiao Qin'er is too impatient and takes money too seriously. With these two points alone, she lost Ouyang Fu.
In addition, she was not meticulous enough in her work, and her greedy tactics were too rude. No wonder Ouyang Fu was caught.
Xiao Qin'er did not complain about losing.
After learning the lesson, Xiao Qin'er didn't dare to speak freely.
However, in my heart, he remembered hard.
Pei had been watching this farce indifferently, and she knew exactly how Xiao Qin'er was greedy for ink. For Liu Yi's sake, Pei has always closed one eye.
It's just that Xiao Qin'er was too careless in doing things, so Ouyang Fu grabbed the handle and broke her old bottom in public.
Pei was disappointed.
Xiao Qin'er didn't grow up too much.
Pei said angrily: "Does this princess allow you to speak?"
When she said this, she looked at Ouyang Fu, apparently beating the other person.
Ouyang Fu returned to his position, lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, changing from his previous aggressiveness.
Xiao Qin'er snorted coldly: Pretend! See when you can install it.
Pei continued: "The greed of ink in the kitchen will definitely be investigated thoroughly. No matter who it is, as long as it is implicated, it will never be taken lightly."
At this time, I asked Ning's servants to come back.
"Tell the princess and empress, the prince said that he will not come. He asked the little one to tell the empress, in troublesome autumn, it is better to have more things than less. The offenders should be killed or ransacked, and the empress is the master. In addition, the prince He also said that he would invite Lord Shen and Lord Luo to drink someday."
Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo beamed with joy upon hearing this.
Keep your head down, secretly happy.
Both the Shen family and the Luo family are officials with a background and a solid foundation.
Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo's father and brother are also imperial order officers.
In other words, the Shen family and the Luo family were both assisted by King Ning.
Therefore, King Ning turned a blind eye to the fact that Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo was greedy for ink, and the right was to give the two concubines pocket money.
Pei knew it would be the result.
However, she was still mad.
This is really outrageous.
Pei directly ordered, "From now on, Shen and Luo, you two will no longer be in charge and hand over all the keys to the cards in your hand."
Concubine Luo refused to accept it, and she murmured a few sentences.
Snapped!
Pei patted the table, pointed at Concubine Luo, and scolded angrily, "This princess did not die in a day, this palace is the princess who has the final say. If you are not convinced, get out."
Concubine Luo Fang was very embarrassed, covering her face, and ran out crying.
Pei snorted coldly, "Who else doesn't accept this princess's arrangement?"
No one said anything.
Pei's anger smoothed a little.
She thought for a while, but she still couldn't hand over to Chang En to deal with Mother Qin.
If a few maids can't stand the torture, and some and none are confided in the ears of the prince, it will be troublesome.
Pei made a decision, and when Wen Zhong came back, she handed over all the maids and Mother Qin to Wen Zhong.
