Chapter 475
The year is approaching, because Xu Zhongtian's case of embezzlement of ink in a small county order has caused an uproar, and the two major families, the Zhongyong Marquis family and the Zuo Prime Minister's family, as well as the household department and the Ministry of Industry, have been involved.
This year's New Year's gift, many people are much more cautious, almost all of them are given to their own Zhuangzi food and some pleasing food bought outside, and they dare not give anything worth silver, and the officials are staring at it with wide eyes and watching it closely.
So the boutique food in Xiaoer's supermarket and the exquisite pastries in Liu Jingshu's bakery have become sought-after goods, and the supply exceeds demand every day, and the supply is increasing day by day, and the people who order are still ordering until the Chinese New Year's Eve!
Xiao'er looked at the name on the order list and sneered, didn't she say that their family's high-quality food deceived the world and stole their name! Why did they still queue up to buy it! Obviously, their family's food was sick and cured, and they were not sick and strong!
It's really a snake spirit disease, while criticizing, I rushed to buy it!
These days, the meals on the tables of each family have saved a lot, and even fewer people have bought her family's high-quality blood swallows.
When will such a rumored day come to an end, Xiao'er sighed.
Liu looked at the list of gifts in those years, and always felt that something was wrong, why it was all food and food.
"The New Year's gifts given by everyone this year are very different from previous years, did your father offend people in the imperial court?"
Recently, the wind of corruption has been serious, and the emperor was angry and ordered to severely punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Xiao'er picked what she could say and said it.
"I see, then we will also send it lightly, your father has a position in the Ministry of Industry and Household Department, and he can't tell the truth!" Liu didn't think much about it, such a difficult job as corruption and perversion of the law would naturally not be done by her family's father-in-law, her family's father-in-law would only farm honestly, and she would take the family's seeds to plant the family's field, so she was not worried that her family would be involved at all.
"This is natural, I finally have the opportunity to save some silver, I don't hate silver to cut my hands, I can get the New Year's gift without spending anything, and I'm happy not to want it!" Xiao'er said mischievously.
"You kid dare to say anything, if outsiders listen to it, won't they think our family is stingy?" Liu glanced at Xiao'er.
"It's better to be stingy than to be stingy!" Yun'er added.
Liu: "......"
This kid is losing money again!
Xiao'er chuckled.
Liu has been sleepy recently, and after checking the gift list with Xiao'er for a while, he was so sleepy that he went back to sleep.
In the middle of the night in the middle of winter, the cold weather is expected to be steep, Xiao'er quietly checked the profitability of each shop this year in the house.
Shangguan Xuanyi jumped in from the window with a cold air.
"Don't always jump out of the window, can't you come to me during the day? Xiao'er didn't need to look to know who it was, so she didn't raise her head and spoke.
"You won't be discovered, why don't you sleep so late?"
Shangguan Xuanyi used internal force to remove the cold from his body, and then walked to Xiao'er's side and hugged her into his arms.
"In reconciliation. You're done with your business?" Xiao'er put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her sore arm.
"I'm done, and the case can be closed tomorrow!" Shangguan Xuanyi put his hand on Xiao'er's shoulder to help her massage.
"That's good, at least you can have a decent Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the New Year! This year, my restaurant has prepared a lot of good things, and I don't have to worry about not being able to sell them!"
"You can eat whatever you want, don't worry. ”
"I'm not worried, it's just that everyone is holding their tails and being people, and my father said that our family can't be special!"
Well, I still have to listen to my father-in-law's words.
"I heard that you missed me, so when I came back, I came to you as soon as I came back! Why didn't you say anything at all?" After helping Xiao'er press her shoulder, Shangguan Xuanyi buried his head on her fragrant shoulder and absorbed her fragrance.
"When did I say I missed you!" said De Sauway's big-mouthed teal, must have quacked everywhere again!
"Then I miss you. After speaking, Shangguan Xuanyi covered his lips!
Di Shaowei's triumphant peacock said that his children can play soy sauce, and he can't hold a beauty yet!
It makes you want to burn his hair out!
Di Shaowei, who was asleep, sneezed twice, quickly covered the quilt, and then couldn't help but worry that his wife would catch a cold if he kicked off the quilt.
So he got up again, got dressed, and went to climb the wall.
As soon as Shangguan Xuanyi jumped onto the wall, he saw a figure on the other side jumping off the wall, and he hurriedly chased after him.
After the two looked at each other and found that it was each other, they were both stunned.
Shangguan Xuanyi said with a dark face: "The third watch didn't sleep in the middle of the night, why did you come to the girl's house, don't ruin my girl's reputation!"
Di Shaowei raised his eyebrows: "Who doesn't know that my lady is in the Shengping Hou Mansion, of course I came to sleep with the lady in my arms, but you don't sleep in the middle of the night and come to the Shengping Hou Mansion, don't ruin the girl's reputation!"
Shangguan Xuanyi was choked, what's so great about having a lady!
"Take your lady back to the house tomorrow!Don't stay here to be an eyesore!" Shangguan Xuanyi said angrily.
His lady is an eyesore? His lady doesn't know how eye-catching!
"I don't want to! This is not your Sixth Prince's Mansion, you can't take care of it!" Di Shaowei said angrily.
It's really unbearable!
So the two fought!
Two big words came to the heart of the dark guard hiding in the shadows: boring.
It was the coldest day since the beginning of winter, and early risers poured their washing water on the patio, freezing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In two days, it will be time for annual leave.
Before dawn, one carriage after another had been parked outside the palace gate.
The ministers lined up in turn to enter the palace in the early court.
In the palace Jinluan Palace, the four words of Zhengda and Guangming are shining.
The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, listened to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple report this major corruption incident together.
Di Zhiyuan accepted bribes of gold, silver and treasures from various lower-level officials, totaling 300,000 taels.
The former secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the current prime minister of Zuo, accepted a total of 100,000 taels of bribes.
The Tobe waiter took a total of 150,000 taels in bribes!
……
There are also some small amounts that are not to be mentioned.
There are account books and lists of bribes and confessions as evidence, and there are even time records on them, which is ironclad.
The emperor finished flipping through several lists and account books page by page, and then looked up at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Shaoqing of Dali Temple: "Two Aiqing, have you checked it out?"
"When I returned to the emperor, everything was investigated, and the bribe-givers were also interrogated one by one, and the confessions and testimonies were consistent. Dali Temple Shaoqing replied.
