Before he reached the inner library, Li Hong heard a noisy sound.

His brow furrowed tightly.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Pei's cold voice sound.

However, a few sharp-eyed female officials immediately recognized the person who came as the crown princess, and were about to step forward to cry, but found that the crown princess was followed by a man with the same frosty face.

Isn't it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person!

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have seen the Crown Princess!"

The female officers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and their bodies were shaking.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining female officials also reacted, and they all knelt down, and for a while, except for Qian'er, only a few maids who followed Li Hong were still standing.

Li Hong looked at Pei Shi with some surprise.

It was the first time he saw the gentle Pei family so angry, it seems that the crown princess is always in charge of the inner palace, and the majesty is really not covered.

"The concubine has not taken care of the inner palace, so she asks His Highness for his guilt!"

As soon as Li Hong came back to his senses, he saw Pei Shi looking at him with an aggrieved face.

In fact, when Li Hong said that she was going to come just now, Pei didn't care too much, after all, she had managed the inner palace for so many years, as long as she was there, there would definitely be no trouble.

At that time, the Pei family only said that they were the first directors of Qian'er and did not understand affairs, so they made some trouble, but they didn't expect them to be so bold.

dared to blatantly besiege Shangguan, and what was even worse was that this scene also made Li Hong see how much Li Hong spoiled Qian'er these days, and Pei's family remembered it vividly.

These slaves really don't know how important they are!

"It's okay, Wanying, you can deal with it!"

Li Hong patted Pei's little hand and said gently.

It stands to reason. He shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of the inner palace, and this time he just came over on a whim. Moreover, Li Hong also believed that Pei's could handle this matter well.

Take a step back and say he's here. Let's see who dares to be presumptuous.

After looking around, Li Hong took Pei Shi to sit down on the soft couch that the maid hastily arranged, and his voice was slightly cold.

"Get up!"

After that, he said nothing with a cold face, and handed over the right to speak to Pei's family.

"What the hell is going on? Let you forget the rules! Liu Zhangyan, you say! What's going on! ”

As soon as Pei Shi opened his mouth, he was extremely cold, but Li Hong was a little impressed, you must know that the combination of grace and power is the way of the emperor, and Pei has always been tolerant and gentle. At this moment, his face suddenly turned cold, but he looked a little bit like the master of the inner palace.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hong saw a young female official come out of the ranks.

After settling down, the female official called "Liu Zhangyan" spoke.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, today is the day to distribute the silver, but the silver in the inner treasury has long been insufficient, and the Lord Si happened to be absent, so the minister and the other three decided to reduce the silver by half after discussion. When Lord Si Ze returns, make up the ...... with jewelry and satin."

Pei Shi nodded slightly, and his face softened a little.

In a hurry, it is not wrong for the three of Liu Zhangyan to do this. This kind of thing has not happened before, and it can be regarded as following the old practice.

It's just that Pei's strange thing is that since there is already a solution. Why is there such a big fuss!

Seeing that the crown princess's face was slightly better, Liu Zhangyan felt a little calmer. Go on.

"But today, when Si Ze returned, he opened the door of the inner library with his ministers and others. But I found that the satin jewelry in the library had already disappeared a lot, and then somehow, the news came out, saying that Lord Si Ze was greedy for these things, and the maids below were making trouble, and there was just what happened! ”

This Liu Zhangyan is obviously a capable person, and he explained the matter clearly in a short period of time.

"Huh? Lost something in Neku? Also, where did the silver in the inner treasury go? ”

Pei's voice was a little angry.

These days, she has been worried about Li Hong, and the management of the inner palace has been relaxed a little, but she didn't expect such a big mess.

"Mother, slave...... The slave doesn't know! ”

At this moment, the little girl looked like she was about to cry, and said aggrievedly.

"A few days ago, when the slave maid inspected the inner warehouse, the silver and satin jewelry were still there! It's gone when I check it today! ”

"So, it's a thief?"

Pei's face sank completely, if this is the case, then the nature is serious!

"Who else has the key to the inner library? Also, where are the books of accounts in and out of the past days? ”

This time, Li Hong, who had been silent, spoke, just now he only said that the money had not been issued, and it belonged to the inner palace, and it was naturally handled by the Pei family, but if there was an inner ghost, Li Hong would have to intervene.

If such a thing can happen in the dignified East Palace, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be inserted into the future to be meticulous!

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, there are two keys to the inner library, one in the hands of Niangniang, and the other in the hands of Lord Si Ze! As for the recent cashier's account book here, please look at it with His Royal Highness and Niangniang! ”

Liu Zhangyan looked respectful, took an account book from the maid behind him, and handed it over.

At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Hong's eyes.

If the key is only available to Pei and Qian'er, then basically there will be no such thing as an inner ghost, even if others want to move, they can't open the door of the inner library!

Pei Shi took the account book, glanced at it, and his face suddenly sank.

"What's going on with these things?"

The breath is very light, but it is cold.

Li Hong looked at the place Pei Shi pointed, but he only saw dense entry and exit records, and he was dizzy at a glance.

"Li Zhangzang, you come to tell me, when did the satin of the East Palace need to be sold so cheaply, and how can the price of these purchased things be so high?"

Pei Shi looked at a female officer who had been kneeling on the ground without speaking, and said, her body was trembling with anger.

"This ...... This ......"

The female officer was covered in cold sweat and stammered speechless.

"Mother's life! It's the slave who is greedy for a while, please forgive the mother! ”

Li Zhangzang finally did not resist the pressure and said to him.

"Niangniang, Li Zhangzang is also ......"

Liu Zhangyan on the side seemed to be a little unbearable, and pleaded with Pei.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pei.

"Hmph, Liu Zhangyan doesn't have to worry, you come and explain to Concubine Ben, why suddenly from this month, all the purchased silver taels will not be settled until the end of the month, and why are the satin and jewelry in the East Palace so cheap?"

"Minister...... I don't know! ”

Liu Zhangyan's cold sweat came out all of a sudden, and he also stammered.

"Okay, no need to make a fuss!"

Pei Shi suddenly spoke, his tone cold.

"Liu Qian, as the secretary of the department, took poor care of him, and resigned from the post of the secretary from today! Transferred back to the concubine's side as a personal maidservant, Liu Zhangyan, Li Zhangzang was not greedy enough, gathered a crowd to besiege Shangguan, it was difficult to escape the blame, and the grade was also removed, and the two of them did not enter the court! The rest of the female officials, thinking about their unintentional mistakes, will not be punished for the time being, and the silver will make up for it tomorrow! ”

After speaking, Pei Shi turned to Li Hong and said.

"The concubine is not well disciplined, and she has disturbed His Highness for this trivial matter, and I ask Your Highness to forgive her sins!"

"That's it, let's all disperse!"

Li Hong only interjected a sentence from beginning to end, and after seeing that Pei Shi had finished handling the matter, he said in a clear voice.

Then he took Pei Shi back to the apse.

"Your Highness is blaming the concubine for punishing Qian'er heavily?"

As soon as he arrived at the apse, Pei Shi asked with a little grievance. (To be continued.) )
