Chapter 206: Talking Loudly
The Scarlet House looks like a two-storey building, but in fact, behind the banquet living room of the main building, there is also a small half-storey, which has been built into a semi-open rooftop style.
There are sliding doors all around, the space here can be large or small, and now, in this flower pavilion, there are only the emperor, Sixi, and Hui Concubine who is kneeling on the ground, wearing a cloak, and her hair is still wet, and Chu Feifei who is standing aside to watch the play.
The emperor's face was gloomy, and there was a rare anger in his voice: "What about the four bastards who are carrying their steps? ”
Sixi bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, when Hui Concubine Niangniang changed her clothes, the minions went to interrogate those slaves, according to them, it was the concubines who were congested by the pool at that time, and Hui Concubine Niangniang in the chariot also urged them to squeeze to the edge of the pool. ”
"Someone pushed it?" The emperor frowned and looked at Sixi: "Is this true?" ”
Sixi hesitated slightly, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, at that time, the slaves also saw one or two, and indeed all the mothers were more or less pushing, as for which of them lost their hands, it is also possible, those slaves said the names of several mothers, the emperor"
Sixi stopped here, raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, waiting for the emperor to show whether to say the names of those mothers. If this is said, for those mothers, the severity will be slightly punished, if not said, this matter will be over.
Concubine Hui, who was wiping her tears, raised her head at this time: "Who pushed this concubine down?" You say."
Sixi only looked at the emperor and ignored the concubine.
Chu Feifei felt a little bored on the side, although she was the master of the harem, although she was the master of the harem, it was inconvenient to listen to it, so she wanted to retire: "Your Majesty, the grass people still have some things to arrange, so they will retire." ”
The emperor bowed slightly, and Chu Feifei was about to withdraw, but he heard the concubine on the ground suddenly say, "Your Majesty." Hui'er felt that Boss Shao couldn't leave. ”
Chu Feifei's heart sank slightly, remembering Lu Kun's previous advice, he slowly turned around and glanced at Concubine Hui. A faint smile rose at the corner of her mouth: "What does Concubine Hui Niangniang mean?" ”
Concubine Hui snorted coldly: "Although this concubine was in the middle of the walk at the time, she was also watching the scene in the pool through the curtain, and this concubine clearly saw that there were several women in yellow shirts at that time, just near this concubine, who pushed this concubine down." I'm afraid I'll have to look into it. ”
Chu Feifei frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, those women in yellow shirts are the maids of this Flower God Meeting, and their duty is to provide convenience for all the guests who come to the Flower God Society to watch." At that time, so many ladies gathered around the pool, and those maids stepped forward to maintain order and remind the ladies to be careful of accidents, which was also their duty. ”
The emperor nodded slightly: "Yes, these women in yellow shirts are just doing things there." Not surprising. ”
Concubine Hui said sharply: "Boss Shao, since the duty of those waitresses is to maintain the safety of the guests, and now this concubine has been pushed into the water, isn't this a dereliction of duty on the part of those waitress, isn't it that Boss Shao has no way to discipline them?" ”
Chu Feifei frowned, there was such a thing as a guest falling into the water on her territory, and as the boss here, it was difficult for her to get out of the relationship no matter what. And if this one fell into the water, it would be just an ordinary concubine, but it seems to be the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is also a grudge against herself. Now it seems. If you want to get out, you have to be bitten off a few bites of flesh by her.
Concubine Hui sneered again and again: "Your Majesty, the concubine also heard that this Boss Shao relied on the emperor's order and did whatever he wanted in Tiandu City. All major workshops were forcibly blackmailed by her, demanding people and things, and being greedy. Obviously doing an errand for the emperor, in fact, he filled his own pockets and owed countless wages, which made the merchants in Tiandu City complain. And that's not all. He also forcibly requisitioned strange flowers and trees in the homes of important ministers, and if he did not comply, he would threaten with the emperor's order. ”
When Concubine Hui said this, she knelt down uprightly: "Your Majesty, this person is vicious and insatiable, and he has ruined the emperor's reputation these days. It's just a trivial matter for the concubine to fall into the water, but if this person's bad behavior is not dealt with, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the ministers and the people of the world."
"The mother is so eloquent." Chu Feifei put his hands on the side and said coolly.
Sixi's eyelids slightly lifted the concubine on the ground, and a trace of contempt floated at the corner of her mouth, bad behavior? The forcible requisition of strange flowers and trees, or did I personally handle it, Niangniang, do you want to participate in the master?
The emperor's face sank like water, and he was in arrears? Of course, it has to be in arrears, otherwise with those five thousand taels of silver, this flower god will be able to create such a large scale?
Besides, those workshops have been thinking about how to evade taxes all day long, and they refuse to hand over a little bit to my treasury, and I am looking for an opportunity to clean them up, but now they are only in arrears, and they will not pay according to my wishes
Concubine Hui didn't know what the pair of masters and servants above were thinking about, and she was secretly happy in her heart, she was charged with this boss Shao's head, even if she couldn't kill her, she had to peel off her skin. No one knows better than her how much the emperor loves silver, as long as she says that Boss Shao is greedy for money, even if the emperor does not investigate the matter of her falling into the water, he will also investigate the matter of the silver.
It's just that Concubine Hui lowered her head and waited for a long time, and the emperor above didn't move at all.
And Chu Feifei was tired of standing, and spontaneously sat on the chair next to him, the corner of the emperor's eyes twitched, and he swallowed back the sentence of giving the seat, forget it, there are no outsiders here anyway, let her go.
Concubine Hui's eyes widened: "Boss Shao, you are so bold"
Chu Feifei sneered slightly, this concubine is also a wrong move, if she bites the matter of falling into the water, the emperor may have to hinder the etiquette and slightly punish Chu Feifei, the master, to set an example, but it is a pity that Hui Concubine ripped away from the undertaking of this flower god meeting.
Since Chu Feifei dared to do those things, she naturally knew that this was with the acquiescence of the emperor, and at that time, not only was He Jianzhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, running errands for her, but even Sixi, the most trusted chamberlain by the emperor's side, also played the role of a minion from time to time. What's more, the gold-shaped waist plate of her scarlet residence was engraved by the emperor himself and out of his own pocket. What did Concubine Hui say at this time, the people complained, isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor?
Besides, the contract signed by her Chu Feifei, the payment on credit is interest-bearing, and many conditions have been promised, even if the negotiation of this contract has just begun, it is still a little unsmooth, and in the last few days, after the venue of the Flower God Club is erected, those merchants are rushing to supply her, not to mention the interest, even if they post the money, these merchants will also find a place in this flower god meeting. To be continued
