599. Bribery

After Chun'er left, Yao Keqing glanced at Peaches, and said half-helplessly, "You narrow ghost, you will play tricks on others as soon as you come!

Although Peaches has become a wife and a mother, her temperament is still as free and easy as when she was a girl in the past, and she smiled after listening to Yao Keqing's words, "She used to serve the young master, and she has been in the house for many years, and she was still the steward of the young master's side before, so it is inevitable that she will be a little big, and she has to kill her majesty while her score has not been put up, so that she knows her own catties, and she dare not be presumptuous in front of you, grandma!" Look at what she just said, what's wrong with her legs and feet, the young grandmother just entered the door, even if you want people to lift her face and show her face in front of you, she is good, how long has it been before she shows up, and she walks steadily, I don't see where the legs and feet are bad, obviously I deliberately take it big in front of you! If the slave doesn't squeeze her with Qi's mother, I'm afraid she doesn't plan to hand over this account book!"

Mama Fang said with a smile, "You are reasonable! Aunt Chun did hurt her leg a while ago, and the young master also told her to recuperate, but she didn't deliberately pretend to be sick!"

Momoko still insisted on her own opinion, and continued, "Since your leg is good, if you have the heart to transfer power, you should take the initiative to come over with the account book key, why do you want to come to grandma's side first and then let people go back with her to get it?

There is some truth in what Peach said, and Mama Fang couldn't help but start to be suspicious of Chun'er, and muttered, "After all, she has handed over her things now, no matter what she originally planned, at least it shows that she still knows how to be proportioned! Besides, she is the old man who serves by the young master's side, and she can't be treated lightly, she has to send her decent and inconsequential work, which will not hinder us, and lest others chew her tongue and say that the young grandmother is not kind!"

Peach agreed, "What Mama said is that she can't be allowed to touch her hands on any errand that closely serves her grandmother! I heard that when the young master wanted to send those two girls before, she went to intercede like the eldest princess, and her leg fell sick at that time! Those two girls were also able to stay because of her intercession, which shows that she has no kindness to our grandmother herself!"

Mama Fang thought for a while and asked Yao Keqing, "Young grandma, what kind of errand do you think is good for her?" Now the errands in the yard have been arranged, and there is no shortage of people for the time being, but it doesn't hurt to arrange one or two more errands for some errands!"

Yao Keqing stared at the book in his hand for a long time, and suddenly said, "Is she literate? If she is literate, let her take care of the needlework, if she is illiterate, ask her to go to the big study in front of her to serve, and still take care of the affairs around the young master!"

Mama Fang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "The old slave will arrange it!"

Momoko wondered, "Why do you have to take care of the needle and thread if you are literate, and if you are illiterate, you can go to the study?"

Yao Keqing said, "The young master's study is different from my small study where I paint and practice calligraphy, many things in the young master's study are related to the affairs of the imperial court and military affairs, and they are all very important things, and they cannot be leaked out at all!

Peaches suddenly realized, "It's still the young grandmother's thoughtfulness! But according to what the slave maid saw, this Aunt Chun is only afraid that she is literate and hyphenated!"

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mama Fang to come back and say that Chun'er had been arranged in the needlework room, for which Chun'er also expressed her gratitude to Yao Keqing, "It's still the young grandmother who is sympathetic, the slave maid has a leg disease, and it is inconvenient to walk, so she can't do other errands, and she doesn't need to move around for the needlework alone, which is just right for the slave!"

Regardless of whether these words are true or false, but at least on the surface, it looks like the new young grandmother who is sympathetic to the subordinates who have been serving in the house before, and the original housekeeper Aunt Chun also knows the general situation, knows how to advance and retreat, and has a harmonious appearance of master and servant.

Song Ziqing came back late that night, it was already past the time for dinner, but there was someone on duty in the kitchen, and after a short time, he sent a hot meal, and also sent a pot of wine, longan and oranges set up the dishes and chopsticks, poured the wine and retreated under Yao Keqing's signal.

Song Ziqing looked quite happy, drank all the wine in the cup, and said in a relaxed tone, "Finally caught the handle of King Rui!"

Yao Keqing poured him another glass of wine and asked, "Is Mr. Yao's identity about to be revealed?"

Song Ziqing shook his head, "Not so fast! The depth of the Rui Wang's Mansion and the obscurity of the means made the emperor very troubled, although we installed a guest in the Rui Wang's Mansion, but we didn't dare to use it easily, for fear of startling the snake! If it weren't for the emperor's lightning speed this time to take down the Li family, many things the Li family would not have had time to destroy, and we found out the correspondence between Rui Wang and Nanning Bo, otherwise we don't know when we would be able to catch him!"

A few years ago, when the Li family was defeated and sued for peace, the evidence of the Li family's collaboration with the enemy and treason was presented to the emperor, but he didn't expect that when the emperor was angry and was about to send down the Li family, he suddenly found that there was another person behind the Li family, and the emperor hurriedly stopped and put a long line to catch a big fish, and the Li family gradually calmed down after the initial panic, but it was already difficult to live with peace of mind, so he secretly left some evidence of dealing with King Rui, just in case something really happened, and he could use this as a basis to coerce King Rui to come to the rescue, but before they could take it out, they had already been put in prison。

"What does the letter say?

Song Ziqing sighed a little unwillingly, "King Rui is so shrewd, even if he buys courtiers or interacts with courtiers, he will do it without leaving a trace, just some daily correspondence, but Nanning Bo's letter mentions that he gave King Rui some calligraphy and paintings and valuable antique jade! The emperor plans to use this to cure King Rui for the crime of accepting bribes when he goes to court tomorrow! Confine him in the palace and seek other things!"

Yao Keqing pondered for a moment and said, "Since King Rui has accepted the things of the Li family, and now that the Li family has collapsed, won't King Rui be prepared?

Song Ziqing said, "Don't worry, those things are still in the Rui Wang's Mansion so far, and we have also arranged for people to monitor the surroundings of the Rui Wang's Mansion, and once someone transports the things out, they will take them down immediately!"

Yao Keqing frowned, he always felt that something was wrong, the matter of the Li family was so big, it was impossible for King Rui not to know, since he knew, he would definitely understand that it must be inappropriate to keep the things given to him by the Li family, in that case, why did he keep it?

King Rui, who has been obscure, low-key and dormant for so many years, will not even understand this truth......
