Chapter 9 Liwei
The next morning, An Linghan was woken up by the holy decree.
In the past few days, Chu Xingze has been deceived by An Linghan to rest in the study, and his father is happy to increase his knowledge. So An Linghan slept exceptionally well.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the seven princes have both ability and political integrity, and have good conduct. I am very pleased, and I specially named the seventh prince Chu Xingze as the king of Ze, and gave a special reward of 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 100 acres of fertile land, and Fengxian County! Qin this-" is still the shrill voice of Gonggong Li.
"Thank you, Lord Ronne! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! "The subordinates of Zewangfu knelt on the ground.
"Our family is really congratulating Princess Ze, just married His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and became the king, and the future will definitely be better." After Li Gonggong finished speaking, he rubbed his fingers, and the meaning was very obvious.
An Linghan understood, glanced at Su Qin, and Su Qin immediately took a bag of silver and handed it to Father-in-law Li.
Gonggong Li's face was almost grinning to the back of his ears, and he twisted the silver in his hand and left.
"Phew, old eunuch, money fan." Su Qin spat at Gonggong Li with disdain.
An Linghan looked at Su Qin with a smile and said, "Okay~ Aren't eunuchs like this?" Let's go and count the rewards. ”
"Yes, Princess. However, the reward given by the queen mother was also sent by someone. Suqin reminded.
"When? Why didn't Princess Ben know? An Linghan asked curiously.
"Just yesterday afternoon, the princess and the princess came back too late, and the slave maid saw that the princess was very tired, and the prince was unknown, so she thought about talking to the princess again today." Su Qin's face was sincere, she didn't forget to tell An Linghan.
An Linghan saw Su Qin's face with certainty, convinced, and at the same time moved by Su Qin's loyalty.
If An Linghan knew that Su Qin had forgotten, he would probably think that what he had just thought was funny. What a confused master and servant.
Storeroom.
"Princess, something is wrong here, there were obviously three jade agate necklaces in the reward sent by the queen mother yesterday, and now there is only one left; There is also this South China Sea hibiscus hairpin, the original pair, now there is only one left; Also, the fifteen high-grade Yunjin horses that were sent are now only eight left, and there are still some bits and pieces of rewards, all of which are gone. Suqin was a little anxious.
Hearing this, An Linghan's face turned cold, and his voice was cold: "Suqin, don't panic, it seems that there are people with unclean hands and feet in the house, and the ground has moved to the head of this princess, and this princess today." Let them know what the rules are and who is the boss of Zewangfu. ”
Su Qin looked at An Linghan in a daze, Miss is really different, she is more confident and dazzling than before, such a young lady will be very happy to see it, right?
Su Qin will definitely serve the young lady with her heart, and live up to her lady's expectations of the slave maid before her death, Su Qin secretly swore in her heart.
"Butler!" An Ling opened his mouth coldly.
"What's the matter with the princess calling the old slave?" Manager Zhang ran over panting, since the previous housekeeper was kicked out by An Linghan, he took over the position of housekeeper.
The housekeeper's surname is Zhang, and there is a single word.
He is the old man of Ze Wangfu, and he has been serving Chu Xingze since he was ten years old, and he has no second heart for the palace. If it weren't for the queen's obstruction, this Zhang would have been the housekeeper of Zewang's Mansion a long time ago, and Zewang's Mansion would not have become such a miasma.
"Call all the little maids in the palace to the princess to the main hall, and I want to see them when there is a stick of incense. In addition, the ledger of the Zewang Mansion was also sent to the main hall. An Linghan ordered expressionlessly.
"Yes, Princess." The butler turned around and went to call someone.
Vestibule.
An Linghan sat on the main seat, with two plates of delicate pastries and a pot of fine Biluochun on the table.
On the other table, there is a mountain of ledgers.
An Linghan glanced at the account book, picked up one at random, and scanned a few pages. Well, not bad, no problem at all.
However, the absence of problems is the biggest problem. Chu Xingze is a fool, but the palace has not made any mistakes at all for so many years, isn't it suspicious?
There are only two possibilities. The first type: The people in the palace are loyal to Chu Xingze and have no second hearts; The second type: the ledger is a real ledger, but whether the ledger is real or not is not visible.
Obviously, since Queen Lin's people can be involved, who can guarantee that the people in the palace are loyal? The result is obvious, the second possibility. These are fake accounts.
An Linghan sneered in his heart, it seems that if I don't give you some dismounting, you will be the princess of this paper.
A noisy footsteps came, and I saw a few maids walking in with a smile, and they didn't salute when they saw An Linghan, as if there was no An Linghan.
After another stick of incense, the talent has just arrived.
An Linghan put the tea on the table and gave me a dismount? Okay, let's show you what the real dismount is!
"Suqin, how long has it been?" An Linghan said expressionlessly.
"Back to the princess, since you asked the housekeeper to gather them, three incense sticks have passed."
When the housekeeper heard this, he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, he didn't want to, but this group of minions had seen King Ze as a fool for so many years, and he was used to being lazy, so he naturally wouldn't take An Linghan in his eyes.
An Linghan's face sank: "This princess asked you to arrive in the front hall with a stick of incense, and you three sticks of incense came, but you don't take this princess in your eyes?" ”
Those little servants and maidservants looked disdainful, and reluctantly said, "The princess misunderstood, how dare the slaves and maids not take the princess in their eyes, after all, you are the master." ”
"Don't dare? This princess sees that you dare very much! Come on, press down all the minions who are later than a stick of incense, thirty boards per person, if anyone shows mercy, they will be punished together! An Linghan patted the table and commanded with a gloomy face.
When those minions heard this, their faces turned pale, where did they dare to make a mistake? Tong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The guards who executed the punishment turned a deaf ear, joking, and pleading with you, shouldn't they eat the board? Who told you not to be a subordinate at all, and you can't complain about others?
The crisp crash of flesh and wooden planks echoed in the courtyard, and there were a few wails. After a while, the smell of blood filled the air.
The rest of the servants and maidservants were all stupidly pale, and their calves were still trembling slightly.
An Linghan glanced at their performance and was very satisfied, but this is the first step, don't stand it anymore, otherwise it won't be fun.
"Does anyone else want to be like them?" An Ling's cold breeze and light voice reached the ears of the little maid. calmly, as if the person who had just inflicted heavy punishment on his subordinates was not him.
The little maids heard An Linghan's flat voice, but they seemed to hear the voice of the devil, and a few of the timid ones even knelt on the ground.
"Didn't you? Okay, so let's move on to the second thing. An Linghan took a sip of tea.
"Today, this princess went to the treasury, guess what? Yesterday the queen gave a lot less of what she bounced, and you say, 'Who took it?' An Linghan pretended to be very distressed, and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Ahh Pregnant! An Linghan suddenly slapped the table.
Everyone was taken aback, although An Linghan's movements were like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, but what she did just now didn't look like a little girl did at all.
"Each of you says a name and what she took. And the person who is called by name continues to say the person's name and the things they take. And so on. Of course, if you have something to hide, the princess can only ......" After speaking, she reached out and crushed a teacup.
