Chapter 54: Fake Gold

When Qiu Zege and I came to the princess's mansion, Lao Xu was also there, and when he saw me, he didn't smile like before, but said very seriously: "Madam, the accounts of the princess's mansion are very problematic!"

I don't have the heart to listen to this, I only care about when Yu Xuanji will take me to meet those strange people, and I'm also worried that Lao Xu, a cadre, will run into Yunqi when he walks around the mansion.

So he said to Lao Xu: "The accounts will be checked later, I have already told Brother Nian, and I will not check the accounts." Lao Xu looked at me in surprise and whispered: "The previous account is not counted, but now, this deficit is not a star and a half!" I was even more nervous when he said this, and asked, "What's the deficit?" Lao Xu said: "The gold in the treasury was not transported from the Guogong Mansion yesterday, there is a problem." My palms were sweating, and I forced myself to calm down and said, "Is there any difference between gold?"

Lao Xu said: "I recognize the gold shipped out of the Guogong Mansion, and now these in the princess's mansion have obviously been transferred." I don't look right, like a fake. "I was shocked, isn't this old man a fiery eye? "Are you sure?" Lao Xu said: "The naked eye can't be sure, you have to take it back for inspection."

I said impatiently: "It turns out that you are guessing, how can this be guessed casually, even if it is not the original, as long as it is gold?" Now I have urgent matters and can't take care of them. Manager Xu, you take your people back first, and I will call you when you need it in the future. “

Lao Xu wanted to say something more, but I ignored him and left in confusion. After he left, I was very upset, Lao Xu would definitely report to Zhou Sinian, and I would prepare a speech. But now I can't take care of it, so I hurriedly came to Mr. Fu and asked him if the jade mystery had arrived.

Yu Xuanji turned out of the inner room and said, "Poor Dao came just now, and the people from the Guogong Mansion who came to check the accounts are really fierce. Mr. Fu is also the head of a house, but he was called and drunk like that. “

Mr. Fu looked ashamed and said: "Lao Xu has always been strong, and he has been like this all these years, and now the expenses of the princess's mansion are completely dependent on the Guogong Mansion, and the contemptible people are used to him like this."

Although I don't like Lao Xu, I am very disgusted by the obviously provocative dialogue between Yu Xuanji and Lao Fu, so I didn't answer their words, and asked lightly: "Can we go now?"

Yu Xuanji was speechless at this time, and the words he said were out of character, so he bowed down and said, "Xuanji is ashamed, please come here."

When I saw his ashamed look, my heart softened, and I said, "Where, the real person just said what he saw." Please. “

We went out the back door of the princess's mansion and saw two carriages parked there, the same as a normal carriage, but the coachman did not know him, and his face was blank. Qiu Zege whispered in my ear: "These two coachmen are wearing human skin masks."

We got into the car in the back, and when we went in, we found that the car had no windows, and the windows we saw from the outside were fake. As soon as you enter the carriage, the doors are sealed from the outside. There is only a small skylight at the top, which can be used for breathing, but nothing can be seen except a little sky.

I don't know how long the carriage ran for a while, and suddenly it was completely dark, and it entered a tunnel, and then it lit up again, and then it went dark again. Then I ran in this dark tunnel for a long time, and the sky did not appear again.

The carriage finally stopped, the doors opened, and a foul smell came over the pavement. I saw a lot of torch-lit people outside, all masked, and the coachman gestured to us to get out of the car.

When I got out of the car, I saw Yu Xuanji and Mr. Fu waiting in front, and someone led us into a hut, the stench inside was slightly smaller than the outside, and I couldn't help but exhale softly. Suddenly, I heard a buzzing voice: "Guest, please take a seat."

I was startled, looked around, and didn't find a place to sit, but I saw that Yu Xuanji and Mr. Fu sat directly on the ground, and they quietly motioned for me to sit on the ground, Qiu Zege had already sat down, and I had to reluctantly sit on the ground that was sticky when I stepped on.

The voice sounded again: "Five thousand gold, when the money arrives, you can start."

I turned my head to look at Mr. Fu and Yu Xuanji, and Yu Xuanji said, "The deposit of 2,000 has been shipped, and there are still 3,000, and it will arrive in two days."

I wondered in my heart, it turned out that the three thousand gold had not been shipped over, so why did Manager Xu say that the gold in the treasury was fake? So looking at Yu Xuanji and Mr. Fu, Yu Xuanji spoke, as if answering me, and as if answering the buzzing person: "Three thousand gold could have been delivered today, but there was a little mess, and now it is on the way, please rest assured."

The man let out an "um", as if the person next to him was discussing something, and finally said: "Since the deposit has arrived, bring someone tomorrow, and you can receive someone when the money arrives."

Half of the peace of mind here, he returned to the princess's mansion and inquired about the gold, and Lao Fu said that it was to deal with the audit of the Guogong Mansion, and he was specially looking for someone to do it. I went to see it, and after counting it, I said, "If you bury this fake gold, if it flows to the market, something will happen, although it can't be seen with the naked eye, but I'm afraid that it can be detected by special inspection, and it is not trivial to be denounced." Mr. Fu agreed, found a few people, put the gold in jars, and buried it all in the garden.

I watched them finish doing this, and then instructed: "The mourning hall must be built, you can slow down, drag the cover back, draw the picture first, and then change it slowly, the money will not be spent all at once, slowly fill the shortfall." In the future, no one will be allowed to check the accounts of the princess's mansion without my approval. Mr. Fu promised again and again to see if there was anything missing, and then I was relieved to return to the public mansion.

took out a piece of gold from the treasury, and took out the gold brought back from the princess's mansion, although the gold is fake, but carefully compared, it is exactly the same, and there is no difference in even the weight, I don't know how this Lao Xu saw it?

At this time, when he heard the voice of Zhou Sinian coming back, he hurriedly threw the two ingots of gold into the drawer of the dressing table. Then, Zhou Sinian came in.

He apparently saw me close the drawer in a panic at the end, looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?" I covered up and said, "No, I read the sketch of the mourning hall that Mr. Fu drew today, and my heart has been sad." As he spoke, he took the initiative to open the drawer and took out a short sword left by the queen mother, "I found this in the princess's mansion, this is the queen mother's relic." Slowly drawing out the sword body, the cold light revealed little by little.

When Zhou Sinian saw it, he hurriedly took the sword and said, "If you don't know how to use the sword, don't play with these things, if you are not careful, you will cut yourself."

I nodded, took it back and put it back, and said, "I will keep the relics of the queen mother and keep it in mind."

Zhou Sinian said: "I asked Lao Xu to check the accounts, don't worry about it, I'm just afraid that Lao Fu doesn't know what the hell is going on, and he definitely didn't come for you, don't say that the money is yours, even if it's mine, you can use it casually."

When I heard him say this, my heart was also warm, and I whispered: "Brother Nian, where did you speak, the emperor asked you to watch it, and you didn't do anything wrong." After all, I was disappointed in my heart, I thought that the emperor's favor was for me, but I didn't expect him to just reward Zhou Sinian in a roundabout way, and couldn't help but say: "What is my money, your money, after all, it is the emperor's reward, who is he willing to give, I don't know yet?" It was meant to be for you. “
