Aunt Ming came with a smile on her face.

Chu Jiao saw her walking over, and she said coldly: "It seems that you have forgotten all the hard work you worked in the past few days?" ”

"How dare the concubine forget, after all, my sister should have worked harder than me for a long time."

This is the first time he has said such a thing.

Red Sleeves has been serving Chu Jiao since she was a child, and no one dares to talk to her young lady like this.

"These things don't match, I hope you can take a look and explain what this is all about, if anyone steals something and misses something, it is better to hand it over quickly, if not, I can only go to the prince for this matter."

Chu Jiao spoke to her politely, and Aunt Ming became even more carried away in her heart.

If it weren't for the lack of evidence, why speak so politely.

"Sister, it's all a bit of a past, you are a lot of adults, and our sisters will get along well in the future, right?"

It was really hateful to see her coming, and Red Sleeves couldn't help but push her.

"Go, go, who's with you sister and sister? Are you worthy to be a sister to our master? Now, if the things in these account books can't be made up, you can explain it to the prince yourself. ”

As he spoke, Redsleeves threw the ledger in her face.

Aunt Ming, who was still smiling, was slapped in the face by the account book at this time.

The smile on her face was gone, and her face was horrified and angry.

She is also the woman, and even a little maid dares to do this to her?

The point is that Chu Jiao was still sitting there drinking tea and didn't say a word, obviously conniving at her.

She swallowed her anger and picked up the ledger, and then went out disgraced.

In the end, Chu Jiao gave the deadline to hand over all the things she secretly hid before tonight.

But over the years, she has become accustomed to doing this kind of thing, and many of those things have been secretly sold by her, and then squandered by her, how can she make up for it now!

"Master, if you go and beg the princess, maybe there is room for maneuver?" Xiao Cui said cautiously.

Aunt Ming shook her head and said sadly: "She has always wanted to grab my handle, but she couldn't catch it, and now that she has caught it, how can she let me go, and now she is doing this, and she won't even give me a way to live." ”

"How about begging the prince?" Xiaocui said.

Please, Lord?

Right.

Just ask the king.

It was just dark, and Aunt Ming came, but Xiaocui didn't follow.

Qin Shao was dealing with business, and he didn't want Xiao Cui to die or live to see him.

"Lord Wang, something is wrong, go and take a look!" Xiao Cui cried and sobbed.

When Qin Shao arrived in front of Chu Jiao's door, he only heard a woman's scream, he suddenly pushed open the door and saw the scene inside.

only saw that Aunt Ming's clothes were covered with blood, and her face was also blue and purple, and when she saw him coming, she hurriedly threw herself into his arms and trembled.

"Lord Wang! I'm so scared! ”

She cried sadly and very uncomfortable, and there was no good place on her little face, and crying was even more distressing.

"Slowly, what's going on." Qin Shao's voice was slightly softer.

Aunt Ming sobbed and said: "It's that the concubine is not in good health, the housekeeper may have many omissions before the concubine, so that the princess finds out, and now she wants me to take out something, but the concubine has two sleeves and can't take out things, so the princess let the red sleeves under her hand beat, and the concubine can't stand the prince, so it's better to let the concubine die headlong." ”

She said that she wanted to rush out of his embrace, but was imprisoned by Qin Shao.

I saw that the red sleeves did indeed have a whip in his hand.

Qin Shao was indifferent: "What do you say about this?" ”

He didn't expect this woman to be quite ruthless, worthy of being his woman.

Chu Jiao always sat in the chair, without expression, and did not speak.

Red Sleeves threw the whip away, and then smacked Aunt Ming fiercely.

"You're bloody, you deserve to let us take the initiative?"

"Okay, don't say it, I did it." Chu Jiao looked him straight into the eyes and said.

Qin Shao stared at her eyes, which were full of confidence, as if he was sure that he would not do anything.

Aunt Ming didn't expect her to admit this crime so directly, she was stunned in Qin Shao's arms.

"Lord Wang, you have to be the master of the concubine." She said delicately, making people listen to the bones are about to be crispy.

Qin Shao patted her hand: "Okay, don't be afraid, if you are wronged, this king will make the decision for you." ”

Aunt Ming was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly.

Chu Jiao looked at the two of them, and her face was very cold.

"She embezzled the property of the palace, countless, these account books are all the good things she has done over the years, I asked her to give me an explanation, she dared to talk back to me, I taught her a lesson, discipline and discipline her."

Chu Jiao looked directly at Qin Shao without any flinching, and Qin Shao's eyebrows raised slightly: "Is that so?" ”

Aunt Ming in his arms was in a mood of ups and downs, and decided not to admit it.

"I didn't, I don't really know what's going on." Aunt Ming said miserably.

Qin Shao carefully looked through the account books, looked at the accounts of the past years, and then looked up at Aunt Ming from time to time.

She only felt that she was getting more and more weak, and her legs were shaking unconsciously.

"I didn't expect my aunt to be really well managed for so many years."

Aunt Ming listened to his voice and didn't know whether she was happy or what, so she didn't dare to speak.

Red Sleeves looked at Aunt Ming, seeing how the prince cleaned her up this time.

"Let's lock up in the firewood room first."

Aunt Ming was overjoyed: "Lord Wang, you are so good!" ”

The next moment, Xiuying was going to drag her out, but Aunt Ming didn't expect it when she was dragged out.

All of a sudden, the room was quiet, and Chu Jiao yawned lazily: "The prince can go back." ”

"I want you and me to do one thing, and the housekeeper's business will be put aside for a while."

Chu Jiao didn't look like he was joking, and this time he finally got right.

"What's going on?"

"There is a war on the tribal frontier, Yao Feng is now fighting on the front line, but the 600,000 grain is missing, and the saint is now secretly assigning me to pursue this batch of food, I must find it." Qin Shao's tone was very heavy.

Chu Jiao sat up all of a sudden: "Yao Feng? ”

"What, you know?"

"No, I don't have any friendship, I've just heard of it, and he's a good person." Chu Jiao remembered that Yao Feng died in the end, in the battle for the throne.

"Well, I mean, what does this tell me to do? What do you mean? Chu Jiao changed the topic and said.

Qin Shao sighed: "I want you to set off with me to investigate this matter." ”

Chu Jiao didn't want to get into such trouble, but if the food and salary were not enough, the soldiers would die on the battlefield at that time, this kind of thing would never work.

"I'm a woman, how can I help you? I'm afraid I can't do it. Chu Jiao said tentatively.

"You're smart, give you a night's time, think about it, and if you don't want to go, go back to your father for a while, and you'll be back when I come back."

After speaking, Qin Shao left directly.

Chu Jiao only felt that she was in a fog about the whole thing.

"Call Xiuying over."

After Xiuying came, he kept silent several times, and finally said it under the begging of Red Sleeves.

"Actually, the master has been depressed for several days because of this matter, he is a general, there is a war on the frontier, he has tried his best to go out to fight several times, and he has said it several times in front of the saint, but the saint has never agreed."

Chu Jiao nodded, as a general, he should have this kind of style.

"And then what?" She asked again.

Xiuying said: "Even if you want to go out to fight, there is no food and salary now, so the general must quickly and secretly pursue the movement of this batch of food, if you can't catch up, the general will not be allowed to go to the battlefield in the future." ”

It is indeed very uncomfortable for a general not to be able to go to the battlefield, Chu Jiao thought.

"I see, you can go back first."

Aunt Ming, who still doesn't know why, is shivering in the cold firewood room, she is about to cry blind, there is no hope in life, the prince is no longer willing to see her, and he doesn't want to believe her, what is the meaning of her life.

She took off the hairpin on her head, looked at the sharp hairpin tip, she closed her eyes and stabbed herself fiercely.

Xiao Cui hurriedly covered her hand: "Master, you must not seek death, what can I do without you." ”

Aunt Ming's heart was like ashes, and the two cried together, quietly waiting for the end to come.

Unexpectedly, she was released the next day, and she was able to take care of the house again, about the things she secretly secreted, she only said that her monthly money would be gone in the future, and the treatment she should have was still like that.

Aunt Ming didn't dare anymore, she was so scared of what happened last night, for fear that the prince would ignore her.

"Lord Wang, are you going out, what do you want to eat, prepare for the concubine."

Aunt Ming looked at Qin Shao, who was about to get into the carriage, with a strong expectation on her face.

Qin Shao leaned into her ear and said something, and then her whole person looked stunned.

Chu Jiao sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, and when he came in, she saw that he was wearing a civilian costume, and the coarse cloth clothes were worn on his body, but it did not affect his temperament at all, if it was a bit exaggerated to say that he was shining, but she really felt that this husband of yours was a little dazzling.

"Where are we going this time? Always tell me about the specifics of the matter. Chu Jiao said.

Qin Shao said: "This time I want to go to Chiling to have a look, the food was robbed there, I heard that it was a group of robbers, it was a local bandit." ”

Chu Jiao frowned: "How big is a gang of thieves asking for 600,000 grains?" So much to swallow? ”

She asked while wondering, "Who is the magistrate of Chiling?" And who is the one who escorts the pay? ”

"The one who escorted the food and salary was the deputy general next to Yao Feng, called Pei Yingzhuo, this person was doing things safely and had followed Yao Feng for many years, so Yao Feng would hand over the matter of escorting the food and salary to him, but he didn't expect an accident halfway, and now he can only delay in Chiling. The local magistrate is called Cen Si, who is upright and meticulous, and has helped the local people handle a lot of cases. ”
