Chapter 127: Miaoyuan Arrives
In the backyard of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, Xie Tianci walked around restlessly in the center of the garden, and when he saw Princess Changling coming, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"Madam, what are you doing? How can you let those two bastards check their accounts casually? If they find out something, it will be a matter of raiding the family and destroying the clan!"
"If you can let them find out the account, do you think I will check it for them?" Princess Changling smiled coldly, and let Xie Tianci sit on the rattan chair.
"Besides, I use a secret business name for businesses related to the capital, and even if something happens to them, they won't be able to find out about us. β
"That being said, just let them check the accounts, where will our faces go?"
"Do we still have face? Who cares about our face again?" Princess Changling said slowly with a cold look in her eyes, "Even the Four Elephant Orders have been taken out, this is a complete tear of the face." β
"Hmph! In that case, we should let them know who has the final say!"
"If you can always have such domineering, you won't shrink into the shallows of Shanghai Mansion all these years. However, this time is different, the emperor's younger brother's throne is becoming more and more secure, and there are more and more ministers loyal to him.
My younger brother is very different from my father, and my father is very affectionate, so even if we do something wrong, he will at most scold. But my brother ...... He has never been merciful when he kills people.
The queen mother is in the harem, and her health has been getting worse and worse recently, and she can't protect us for long. At this time, we have to really confront the Nanling Palace, and the Nanling Mansion will also let us understand who has the final say in Jiangnan Province.
Eight thousand flying Lingwei is no worse than my Changling Guard. β
"Alas!" Xie Tianci let out a long sigh, "stronger than men, but...... I just can't swallow it. β
"You don't need to be so angry, Shen Ling is not wrong about one thing. If the stolen three million taels of silver really entered the Shanghai Mansion, it is most likely that it came in with our caravan. Other people don't have that ability. β
Princess Changling's words made Xie Tianci's face turn white violently, "Madam, what do you mean? The three million taels of silver have something to do with us?
"It has nothing to do with us, but it doesn't mean that the people under our hands don't have thoughts that shouldn't be moved behind our backs. Lately, I've always felt that there is something wrong with the ledger, but I can't figure out what the problem is.
If Shen Ling can help me find out the problem, this palace will thank him. β
"The people under our hands...... No one has the guts to do that, right?"
"That's not necessarily! Recently, we have had a smooth ride, and by the way, our subordinates have also learned the power of foxes and tigers. Seventeen big treasurers under my command actually drove the boat one by one! Hmph, each with its own calculations......
Suddenly, Princess Changling paused, clutching her chest and her face turned pale.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?
"Quick, get me the Lotus Sutra......"
"Oh!" Xie Tianci's voice landed, and the person disappeared in place in an instant.
Princess Changling, who was covering her chest, trembled, the cold sweat of Dou Da continued to fall, and her lowered eyes flashed with a terrifying coldness.
"Unknown bald donkeyβ" The corners of his mouth were cold, as if a resentful voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Although she has torn her face with Princess Changling, Princess Changling still orders someone to bring back the food on time every day.
In the entire quiet room, in addition to the sound of flipping through the pages, there was also the sound of the Lingzhu County Lord chattering.
"Lu Sheng, do you mean that being strong, weak, strong, or weak actually has nothing to do with the difference between men and women?"
In essence, what men can do, women can also do it, and there is no such thing as what only men can do and women can't. Of course, I'm talking about things that have nothing to do with reproduction. β
"In this case, why should men have a higher status than women? Titles must be inherited to sons, and property after death must also be inherited by sons, and many people give birth to daughters and simply discard them if they are unable to support them? Why is there such a difference between men and women because they have the same blood lineage? β
"This is a matter of social cognition, and another point is that productivity determines social status. Whoever creates more value has the right to speak. And once the right to speak is lost for a long time, then a social atmosphere will be formed.
Do you think that in a family of ordinary people, who is the main source of productivity? Is it a man or a woman? Secondly, who is the main source of combat effectiveness? Men or women?
Therefore, you should not fight for your female "sexual" compatriots, whether it is productivity or force, as long as one is better than men, over time, the formation of an atmosphere, women's status will naturally improve. β
Lu Sheng didn't raise his head and quickly answered the Lingzhu County Lord's strange and tricky questions in Shen Ling's opinion. These questions, even a recognized Confucian may not be able to say clearly, but in Lu Sheng's answer, it can give people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
However, looking at the Lingzhu County Lord's eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, Shen Ling suddenly felt that Lu Sheng was afraid that the rest of his life would not be good. is entangled by this aunt's "milk" and "milk", and she is destined to be in trouble.
Shen Ling couldn't help but look at Lu Sheng, but Lu Sheng was immersed in the audit and didn't notice it at all. Or, Lu Sheng's answer to Lingzhu's question is probably a subconscious answer.
When the brain processes multiple types of information separately, some words are said so casually.
"Who said that women's productivity is low, as long as women practice martial arts, whether it is production or fighting, men can't get cheap. β
"That is the popularization of knowledge, if the country is governed by literature, and both women and men can study and become officials, then women should be able to stand in half of the court. If it is said that the martial arts system can become compulsory education with Wu Anbang, the gap between men and women is naturally not so big.
But it will take a long social evolution to reach the point where the whole people are enlightened, and it will not be brought about overnight, and all aspects of the economy, productivity, science and technology, and the spiritual consciousness of the people will ......"
"Alas, I think that women are not as good as you men because of the menstrual affairs every month, if women don't bleed so much, they can naturally do your men's bloody ......"
Lu Sheng's hand slammed suddenly, and the paper in his hand was almost torn off by Lu Sheng's shake.
Lu Sheng, who came back to his senses, recalled what he had just said, and his face turned a little white with fright. Fortunately, I was stimulated by Lingzhu's bloody words, and if I talked too much, I was cited as a fellow by the Lingzhu County Lord...... I didn't dare to think about that picture.
"What's wrong? Why don't you speak?"
"County Lord, is there a list of the whereabouts of these batches of goods, and if so, can you take us to those warehouses to see?" Lu Sheng hurriedly looked like he was doing business.
The audit lasted for three days, but unfortunately, Lu Sheng not only failed to find out the problem with the quantity of incoming and outgoing goods, but also did not find any unreasonableness from the books.
What made Shen Ling even more frustrated was that he knew that Princess Changling and the capital Guixun were colluding in smuggling, but no clues could be found from Princess Changling's accounts.
In the past three months, the amount of goods in and out of Princess Changling has indeed been exactly the same as that registered at the customs. Lu Sheng thought about it for a while, and also understood the trick, since the Ningyuan firm was an empty shell business, Princess Changling would naturally use the shell business name to do some illegal business.
Because of the loopholes in the system, there is no way to check the shell business. It's like Ning Yuan's firm, in the end, it can only find the dead shopkeeper, but it can't continue to trace down this line to Xie Tianci.
"What should I do?" Lu Sheng sighed helplessly at Shen Ling, "The clues of the three million taels of official silver have all been cut off, it is like being buried in a place that no one knows, unless it is dug up by the person concerned, we don't want to find the location of the official silver." β
"Yes, Huo Tian's Duan Fei also came with news, there is no problem with those batches of goods, although Huo Tian is also suspicious, but the suspicion is not half as big as Xie Tianci. If the official silver is sealed in the dust, no one will want to find it. Shen Ling played with the jade toad in his hand and said irritably.
"What if you 'force' a 'force'?" Lu Sheng tapped lightly on the table and said lightly, "What if you have to take out the official silver?"
"Why do you have to take it?"
"Shen Ling, I remember that you said that the emperor intended to let Princess Changling return to Beijing?"
"Yes, I have already reported the matter of the Three Holy Temples to the Jingshi this time, and as expected, the holy decree to return to Beijing for Princess Changling is already on the way. Once Princess Changling returns to Beijing, I am afraid that she will be placed under house arrest. What's wrong? This proves that we are running out of time.
Even if we have already decided that it was done by thanks, once they return to Beijing, our investigation will have to be interrupted. There is no evidence, no clues, and now there is not even time. The whereabouts of the official bank, is it really going to sink into the sea?"
"There is not much time for us, so isn't there much time for Xie Tianci? He can't take such a big risk to rob three million taels of official silver just to hide it, right? Once the holy decree comes down, they won't have time to launder the official silver and take it away. The decree hasn't been decreed yet, but why don't we let the news go first?"
Shen Ling pondered for a long time, "Feasible!"
The two left the room and said goodbye to Princess Changling.
"Have you found out something?" Princess Changling sneered playfully.
"There is no problem with the princess's accounts, congratulations!"
"Shouldn't you be disappointed and depressed?" Princess Changling smiled slightly.
"Your Royal Highness abides by the law, this is the blessing of the society, since there is no problem with the princess's accounts, we will check the accounts and manifests of the rest of the caravan, and I hereby leave!"
"Since this is the case, then the palace will not be kept, husband, you can send the little prince and Lord Lu!"
"Amitabhaβ"
At the moment when Xie Tianci stood up, suddenly a Buddha horn sounded, the Buddha horn was like thunder, but it was just peaceful.
Princess Changling and Xie Tianci's faces suddenly turned blue, isn't this a blatant provocation?
"Poor monk Miaoyuan, sent Indan on the order of the host, please see Her Royal Highness Princess Changling!"
The calm voice came again, and this time, it suddenly turned the faces of Princess Changling and Xie Tianci from anger to joy.
"Master Miaoyuan has arrived, please hurry up!"
As soon as the words landed, a white light appeared in the sky. Miaoyuan, who was wrapped in white light, stepped into the air with his hands folded.
It was as if there was an illusory bridge in the void, stepping over the eaves and turning into a white lotus.
