The author has something to say: this chapter has a slightly less word count, two more today, and one more in the afternoon.

Shen Wanzhen walked out of the Qianqing Palace, and as soon as she walked down the steps, her father Shen Quande caught up from behind with a gasp, Wang Wengui stepped back, and the father and daughter spoke.

Shen Quande heard that there was an accident in the palace last night, and he thought that his daughter had not had time to say a few words yesterday, so he hurriedly returned to the palace, and he knew that it was not good, and he had been sweating.

Shen Quande witnessed his daughter's performance in the court, and was very satisfied, he said in a low voice: "I didn't find anything last night, if there is a slight mistake, someone will take the opportunity to frame him, there will be a traitor in the palace, you need to find out immediately when you go back." ”

Shen Wanzhen also had this intention, her father was sleek, like a fish in water in the court, well-informed, she asked quietly: "Has my father heard the information of the informant?" ”

Because of his daughter's relationship, Master Shen paid great attention to King An's Mansion and said, "I haven't heard of anything else, I just heard that the emperor received a secret report at dusk, and he acted that night." ”

Shen Wanzhen bit her lip and thought about it, so to speak, the traitor is now in the palace, the people around the prince of Ruo'an are far away in Henan, it is impossible to pass the news on the same day, and when the box is delivered, the person can know exactly where the road is placed, whether it has been moved, then this spy, except for the person in the room, there are a few people who are clear, the scope is narrowed, and they are eliminated one by one, and this person can always be found after the most reluctance.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Shen Wanzhen went through the people who might know the inside story of the Dao, she went to the room to marry the maid and the mother-in-law, and waited for the prince's personal eunuch to go out with the prince, so that the girl and the mother-in-law were not allowed to enter and leave the room at will, not to mention that Zhao Shijiao brought the jade carving when he went out, even the personal maid did not know all about the Dao, so who is it? This person not only knew that the prince of Lu Dao took the jade carving, but also knew the details of the Lu Dao box.

She thought all the way, the day before the prince left, she took out the jade carving from the cabinet and asked her to put it in the box, at that time, she was embroidered with chrysanthemum and Qiaoshan beside her, she shook her head, these two girls are impossible, at this time, the autumn wind rolled up the sedan curtains, and she saw a few carriages coming on the left, like the family members of the dignitaries in the capital, probably saw the big sedan chair of the palace, stopped on the side of the road, gave way, and waited for the sedan chair of the palace to pass.

Shen Wanzhen glanced at it inadvertently, and suddenly, she remembered something, at that time, Jiang Huaide, the second head of the palace, came in and said that the vehicle was ready, could it be him......

Jiang Huaide passed on the news of the palace to Lu, it is very likely that in addition to Chen Fu, he should know the inside of the palace best, and the more Shen Wanzhen thought about it, the more suspicious she felt.

Busy greeting, "stop the car"

The sedan chair driver in front of him dropped the sedan chair, Wang Wengui raised the thick felt curtain of the sedan chair with one hand, and asked, "Princess, is there anything wrong with stopping the sedan chair?" ”

Shen Wanzhen leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Is Chief Jiang's family in the palace?" ”

Wang Wengui listened to her questioning, and immediately alertly sensed that there was something in the princess's words, and said, "The princess is suspicious ......."

Shen Wanzhen nodded slightly, "I can't be completely sure, it's just a guess." ”

Wang Wengui said: "Manager Jiang's family is in the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing, not in the palace, and Manager Jiang always has to go home twice a month to see him. ”

Shen Wanzhen was even more suspicious, and asked: "Why didn't Mr. Jiang's family take the palace, but they should be separated from their families, wouldn't it be cheap to live in the palace, so they don't need to run errands back and forth." ”

Wang Wengui said: "said that his old mother didn't come, he couldn't get used to living in the city, and his daughter-in-law waited for his mother-in-law, so he didn't follow, and his children lived in the countryside." ”

"Do you know where his family lives?"

"Knowing the road, the Zhao family set twenty miles out of the city, the details are not very clear."

Shen Xuanzhen originally had three points of suspicion, but it has become seven or eight points, look at the sky, if it is fast, now it is too late to rush back from the city, and said to Wang Wengui: "You immediately take someone to the countryside and quietly bring his mother, wife and children." ”

Wang Wengui glanced at the princess a few times, the princess acted safely, not a reckless person, without sufficient reasons, she would not act rashly, through a few things, he was convinced by the princess, so he agreed, and took the people of the palace to rush out of the city immediately.

Shen Wanzhen returned to the palace, remained silent, and decided not to startle the snake first, she was not afraid of Jiang Huaide running, if she held his family in her hand and let him go, he might not leave.

If it was really him, he would never have thought that he had guessed that the spy was him, and if the plan failed, he would probably be alert, but if something happened suddenly, he should not have time to settle down with his family.

As soon as Shen Wanzhen returned to the house, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law in the house came and went, and Shen Wanzhen got up early and ordered Mrs. Yan to pass on the order, and each room checked things, and the housekeeper reported the number of damage and loss. Make a list.

After Shen Wanzhen left the house, she began to be busy everywhere, and as soon as the princess came back, she presented the list.

Shen Wanzhen looked at it, fortunately, she didn't lose anything valuable.

At dusk, seeing the sun set, Wang Wengui came back in a hurry, Shen Wanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Wengui didn't speak, and saw her nodding.

Shen Xuanzhen knew that the Daoist had arrived.

Shen Wanzhen can take action, and orders Wang Wengui to "bring Manager Jiang"

Jiang Huaide was just about to go out to the countryside for a trip, but was blocked by Wang Wengui, Wang Wengui still maintained the humility unique to eunuchs, and hugged his fists, "Manager Jiang stays."

Jiang Huaide looked at Wang Wengui Although he was polite, he was carrying someone behind him, and said with a smile: "The prince is looking for a slave to have something to do, and the slave has something at home, and he wants to go home." ”

Just this sentence, Wang Wengui immediately believed the judgment of the princess, he went to the countryside to pick up the old mother of Mr. Jiang, his wife and children, but he didn't hear anything about it, as soon as his wife heard that she entered the city, her husband sent someone to pick it up, but she was very happy, and she picked up the neatness of the family, and followed happily.

Wang Wengui remained silent, his eyes lowered a little, "Manager Jiang, the princess is invited"

Jiang Huaide's heart tightened, but he said as if there was nothing to do: "Father-in-law, wait a while, I'll change my clothes and go back." ”

"No need, the princess waits, it's delayed, our family can't afford to suffer."

Jiang Huaide was helpless, followed the prince out of the room, walked along the eaves of the corridor to the west, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the prince has a little matter, find someone to tell." ”

"When the princess comes back, Manager Jiang will go to arrange other sect affairs." Wang Wengui didn't want to let him go for a moment.

Jiang Huaide couldn't get out, so he had no choice but to follow Wang Wengui to the room.

"Back to the princess, Mr. Jiang is here."

Shen Wanzhen took the list of damaged and lost items reported from all over the palace, and Chen Fu said: "According to the princess's instructions, count all the deficits in the treasury." "Many of them were lost and damaged for other reasons, and they were all added to it, written off, and several lists needed to be remitted together.

Shen Wanzhen said to Chen Fu who was standing next to him: "Find someone who can write well, copy it again, and present it to the emperor, of course the palace can't be lost in vain." ”

Shen Xuanzhen calculated, the emperor didn't care about this thing, knowing that he was overreported, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything, so he regarded it as a woman's careful thinking, greedy for money, he rewarded something, and the right to make a little amend, appeasement King An, she also happened to take advantage of this matter to make a profit.

Chen Fu took a few pieces of paper handed over by Shen Wanzhen, walked out, and bumped into Jiang Huaide head-on, Chen Fu looked at Wang Wengui and the people behind him, his expression was stunned, knowing the seriousness of the matter, he bowed down slightly towards Wang Wengui, and hurried away.

Wang Wengui personally led his confidants to do all this, and even Chen Fu hid it.

Jiang Huaide knelt down, "The slave knocks on the princess"

Shen Wanzhen looked at him with a smile, "Manager Jiang, I really want to know why you betrayed your master, and the palace treated you poorly?" Or is there something about the prince that can't stand you? Let's be honest about it. ”

Jiang Huaide's face did not change, and he was always calm, "The slave doesn't know what the princess means by this?" The prince is not thin on the slaves, and if the slaves betray their masters, where to start? Please make it clear to the princess. ”

Shen Wanzhen stood up, walked up to him, stretched out his hand and took out the jade carving in his arms, and held it in the palm of his hand, "This piece of jade, has Manager Jiang seen it?" ”

Jiang Huaide was stunned for a moment, his mind turned sharply, and he said that it was a troublesome thing to see and not to see, and he groaned slightly, and said: "The slave has seen it, and when the slave is serious, the prince is about to put it in the box in his hand." ”

Shen Wanzhen retracted it, turned around, moved the lotus step lightly, took two steps, turned around and said: "The only people who know that the prince took this thing away are my two personal maids and you, except for a few of you who are with the prince, who else can betray the master besides you?" Could the whistleblower be someone else but you? ”

After all, Jiang Huaide has been in the palace for some years, and he has already cultivated a calm personality in case of trouble, and he can't panic in everything, and it will be all over in a panic, he kowtowed and said: "Since there are many people in the palace who know about this jade carving, how can it be concluded that it was done by a slave, please let the princess know." ”

"Since Mr. Jiang doesn't admit it, then the princess will tell me how she suspected you."

Shen Wanzhen sat back on the bamboo collapse, and said slowly: "The people with the prince are far away in Henan, I don't know the details of the house, and someone reported secretly that day, searched the palace overnight, Henan will go back and forth for a day, and I can't catch up, so I ruled out the people who the prince brought with him, then, it is the people in the house, the people in the house know very little about the details of the road, Chen Fu knows about the box of the road, but I don't know about the prince of the road taking away the jade carving, and the prince is too." ”

Shen Wanzhen paused, took the teacup handed by Xiuju, took a sip of tea, and glanced at Jiang Huaide, Jiang Huaide's face was stiff, not as relaxed and calm as when he entered the door.

Shen Wanzhen held the teacup, gently closed the lid of the teacup, and said in a slow tone: "Next, it should be said that my personal maid, my personal maid knows the Tao better than you, and they all know the Tao if you don't know it, if my personal maid does it......."

Shen Wanzhen sighed: "That princess is not sitting here drinking tea at ease today. ”

Fine beads of sweat oozed from both ends of Jiang Huaide's nose, the princess analyzed it reasonably, everyone ruled it out, but he was the only one left, and he was not allowed not to admit it, he didn't admit that the princess also recognized him, and it didn't matter if he didn't admit it.

Jiang Huaide fought to death and kowtowed a few times, "The princess believes that it was the slave who did it based on these alone, is it inappropriate for such a big thing to be so hasty, the slave did not betray the master, and the slave did not admit it if he killed the slave, and the slave has served the master for many years, so there is no reason to do so." ”

Shen Wanzhen said coldly: "Really? Then he shouted, "Bring it up."
