When the old prince woke up, it was already dusk, and he only heard a crackling sound.

It turned out that Concubine Yao's roommate, Mama and the two girls were planning to make a plate, only to see the account room and the housekeepers dumbfounded. Concubine Yao's appearance of fiddling with the abacus a few times, her movements are skillful and quick, and she often plans to make a disc at a glance.

Concubine Yao said coldly: "Calculate it carefully for me, check it carefully, if there is too much discrepancy, you have to make it clear." With such a large palace, there are only three granges, which add up to less than 800 acres of land, and only five shops, all of which are small shops, and the accumulated silver is only 35,000 taels, who would believe it? ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the stewards of each room, "Tell me, how many people are here, and why is there only thirteen people in the deed of sale that the lord of the big county gave me?" When I'm new, isn't it easy to deceive? ”

The old prince looked at the appearance of his young wife, and he really looked like a majestic female general.

After seeing the old princess of the Ye family for a long time, she seems to be weak, but in fact she is arrogant, but now she is a different person, but she has another beauty.

The old prince said: "Qing Niang, if you don't know what to do, whether you kill or sell it, it's all up to you." Now you are the mistress of this house, and your command is the command of this king. ”

Now he will take out half of the old princess who used to be favored by Concubine Yao, so it is also his affection, and it can also let Concubine Yao plan the palace carefully.

The old prince figured it out, and he would no longer raise people and wives and concubines for the Ye family, and he would suffer for himself, but let them live a happy life. actually relied on his power to do evil in his fiefdom.

"Lord Wang, if he is someone else's slave and kills someone, he still can't find us to fight hard?" She smiled sarcastically, "It's better to figure it out, if it's not from the palace, it's not too late to send guards to investigate clearly, and then get out of the palace." If it is from the king's house, he must show his deed of sale. And the minions should do their errands with all their hearts. ”

The housekeeper of the big kitchen bowed and said: "Back to Concubine Yao, the old slave remembers that most of the deed of sale is with the old princess. The big county lord is here is the deed of sale of the thirteen butlers, and the old princess left us a few stewards in order to let the servants obey the dispatch of the big county lord. ”

Concubine Yao looked at this mother-in-law, although she had a horizontal face, listening to her words, she was capable. "Good! This concubine has given you a thing, and you go to each room to check it carefully, and check clearly which people's deeds of sale are. How did you get in in the first place? If you find out. This concubine has his own reuse in the future. ”

A few other stewards. Some were stunned, some were surprised, and some were inexplicable, and more people were waiting.

The old princess has been in charge of the palace for more than 20 years, and she can tolerate anything, except that the old princess is not allowed to look at the woman next to her. Now not only have new concubines enter the palace, but they also aggressively ask for the keys to each room, and they have to check the accounts.

Some people speculate in their hearts: Could it be that this woman couldn't stay in the imperial city and ran to the Weizhou palace to be powerful?

Concubine Yao took out a list and said softly: "Lord Wang, please take a look, this is the list of shops that the first emperor rewarded the prince in the past, and now they have been embezzled, and there is a list of Zhuangzi who have been embezzled to the fields." The concubine has sent a powerful guard, and she went to investigate the family with the list. Then put a notice from the palace, saying that the shop and the grange were originally from the palace on the left shoulder, and the income of the silver for twenty years was to be returned to the palace within a time limit......"

As soon as a few stewards heard what this woman said, they did a good job step by step, and issued a notice first. If the proprietor wants to sell the shop, everyone knows that this is the family business of the royal palace, and who dares to buy it.

Concubine Yao smiled slightly, "In the end, the big housekeeper is doing a good job, and he will sort out the list first." The concubine is here, and there is a list, I don't know if the prince wants to take a look. ”

Su Yan was aggressive by the old princess earlier, so she first sent the big housekeeper to Weizhou to collect rent, and by the way to learn about the geometry of the Ye family's family business in Weizhou, mainly to know the comparison between the old princess and the current situation before the old princess married into the palace.

The big housekeeper and Tong Ying didn't know Su Yan's intentions, but this time Concubine Yao ordered them to thoroughly investigate the Ye family's family business, and after some hesitation, Concubine Yao forced each other in the name of the old prince and handed over the list.

There is no one in the Ye family as an official, and there was a master Ye who was a governor in the northwest earlier, and when the war was together, he abandoned the official and ran away, and refused to be an official again. For such people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it was also a joke in the northwest for a while, and they were ridiculed as incompetent by the ministers.

The old princess didn't think so, and even the old princess felt ashamed when he heard about it. The court reused him, he didn't know how to do his duty, but he was this kind of incompetent. Among the descendants of the Ye family, one by one, because of the old princess, they don't want to read poetry and books hard, and they only know how to fight cocks and bullies men and women all day long. One by one, they are proud of themselves as royal nobles, and they are even more proud of their might in Weizhou.

The old prince looked at the list, and the few sheets of the grange were written at the end, "There are 36 granges, and there are more than 28,400 acres of good land." The shop sheet reads, "There are a total of 323 shops in the five wealthy counties and Weizhou City, and more than 1,160 shared houses." There is another one, which says that there are courtyard houses everywhere, "There are a total of 27 houses in Weizhou and the Imperial City, and there are more than 1,000 houses." ”

"More than 28,400 acres! 323 stores! The old prince slapped his palm on the table, it was really amazing, "Back then, it was just a grange of more than 300 acres and four shops, but after the Ye family married this queen, he hollowed out the palace and filled the Ye family, which is hateful!" Wicked man! Wicked man! ”

What he said was originally the ancestral business of the Ye family, not the marriage of the wives of the Ye family, except for Mrs. Ye, who is also an official eunuch, the others are just young ladies from small families on the boundary of Weizhou, even if there are dowries, there will not be too much, after all, small families can't get more dowries. At most, it is dozens of acres of land, or one or two small shops.

Concubine Yao stood on one side and did not speak.

She wants everyone to understand that she is a side wife, and that she has entered the royal ancestral hall, which is more effective than a holy decree. She wants to do something well, so that those peeps don't despise half a point anymore.

The old prince shouted "Someone is coming", and a henchman escorted in, "Take the name of this king to the Weizhou Mansion and tell Zhizhou that the perpetrators of the Ye family should be arrested when they are caught, and they will never be allowed to follow the law in vain, otherwise this king will be severely punished, and then issue an announcement to warn the people, but those who are bullied by the Ye family can go to the twelve counties and counties of Weizhou from today to hand over the pleadings." ”

The guards are ordered.

has her own big girl presents the name of the old prince.

Zixia got the news, stumbled into the door of the upper room, and before anyone arrived, the voice had already said: "Father! Father, Concubine Yao took away the child's dowry, and all she took away was the child's dowry! ”

Concubine Yao's face did not change, and she called "old prince" in a low voice, and then took out a detailed list of the grange and shop of the county lord of Zixia, "Lord Wang, please see, this is the list sorted out by the concubine in the imperial city palace, the five places of the grange are more than 2,600 acres, and there are 17 shops, and she handed it over to the concubine, it is not a thing on this, how can it be her dowry." ”

The old prince looked at the list.

Zixia pointed at Concubine Yao viciously: "You demon woman! What sorcery have you done to my father, that he should listen to him everywhere......"

The old prince was angry, and as soon as he raised his arm, he slapped him twice, "It's Yan'er and his wife, and they also call Concubine Yao 'Aunt Yao', so bold, they dare to scold their mother-in-law in front of this king." ”

Zixia was slightly stunned, from childhood to adulthood, the old prince had said a heavy word to her, but now he hit her. "Parent ......"

"Who is your father? Do you really have my father in your eyes? Your dowry grange and shop clearly don't have these ones, but you don't say it's yours. This king sees that you are as greedy as the Ye family, hum! ”

He really wanted to exhale the word "cheap", she was not his daughter, in the end or not? The answer was tangled in his heart and painful.

"Come on, invite Feng Ming, the third master of the Feng family, there are some things, this king wants to ask him face to face." He raised his arm and pointed to the warm hall, "Go inside and sit for this king, think about what Zhilu Dao has done wrong?" ”

Concubine Yao looked at the angry old prince, the green tendons on her forehead were exposed, and she said warmly: "Why are you so angry, go along with it first." ”

"Look at her, where is the responsibility and demeanor of the eldest daughter, Yan'er and his wife respect you so much, she dares to be disrespectful, where is she like the children of this king? The king's son Yu Wenyan speaks decently, and the king's daughter Qingxia is even more gentle and lovely, if you look at her, she looks like a woman in the market. ”

He wanted to say that the "shrew" endured it and replaced it with a "market woman".

Seeing that Zixia's facial features had no resemblance to him, his heart seemed to be wandering on the edge of a knife.

For a month, his heart had been tangled and struggling, and the pain was like frying and cooking.

He must uncover the truth.

You must know whether Zixia is his daughter or not?

In the left and right wings, the rooms where the girl and the mother-in-law live have been cleaned up, and the ones that should be supplemented have been brought from the miscellaneous storeroom and put them on the table.

Miao Zhaoxun and Xing served temporarily lived in the west warm hall of the upper room, and the two slept soundly, and were awakened by the noise in the flower hall.

When Zixia heard her father's angry reprimand, she was already in tears and couldn't cry. From childhood to adulthood, she grew up in the palm of her parents' hands because she was the eldest daughter.

After a while, Feng Sanye was invited, wearing a light chestnut brocade robe, with delicate facial features and a good demeanor, revealing the elegant atmosphere of a scholar, and a little weak and sickly. Although Feng Ming did not enter the court as an official, he had the name of a famous man in Weizhou City, passed the children's test at the age of 11, passed the township test at the age of 15, and got the three lists of the same jinshi at the age of eighteen, he was originally going to enter the court as an official, but because of his weak body and perennial illness, he stayed at home in Weizhou to recuperate, and had a good reputation in Weizhou.

He entered the flower hall, hugged his fists and said, "Meet the old prince!" ”

The old prince pointed to the warm hall and whispered to Concubine Yao, "Fetch two bowls of water." ”

Concubine Yao was stunned and asked the girl to fetch it.

After a while, Feng Ming sat down on the Taishi chair in the warm hall, and Zixia stopped sobbing when she saw that there were guests.

The girls served refreshments, and the old prince pressed the doubts in his heart, and he waited for a month, and he was not in a hurry.

Feng Ming hugged his fists and said: "I don't know what the old prince has to say?" ”

Concubine Yao personally held two bowls of water and put them down.

Feng Ming put down the teacup, "What does this mean, old prince?" ”

"Recognize relatives with blood!" The old prince coldly spit out four words and pointed to the bowl over there, "Third Master Feng, if you want to prove your innocence with the Ye family, please!" ”
