Chapter 134: The Secret of the Internal Affairs Office
Lu Qingjin sat in her palace and was restless for a while, until Qinglan came over, she frowned and looked at Qinglan who wanted to speak and stopped: "What's the matter, you just say it directly, there's no need to hide it." ”
Qinglan slowly spoke: "A few days ago, the master asked me to arrange for someone to send the little girl out, and I let the Internal Affairs Office look at it, who knows that today I didn't know that the Huangzhuang didn't receive it, and the housekeeper asked the Internal Affairs Office and couldn't ask anything, so I found the palace, Niangniang, look at this ......"
Lu Qingjin frowned and sighed: "It should be that the Internal Affairs Office did not throw this little girl outside the palace and left, let's go to the Internal Affairs Office!" Although there have been a lot of Ansheng in the city recently, there are a lot of things going on, and it's good to get it back as soon as possible. ”
Qinglan agreed and took Lu Qingjin to the Internal Affairs Mansion, and the two of them were recognized as soon as they arrived at the door, and a little eunuch cringed and asked, "Why is Niangniang here?" We don't know. ”
Lu Qingjin inexplicably felt that something was wrong, but she had always disliked embarrassing these minions, so she paused and said gently: "I have some things to look for, you just go yourself, don't care about me." ”
The little eunuch didn't seem to hear it: "Since this is the case, the slave will take the mother for a walk!" Now there are a lot of people in this internal affairs office, and there are many places to see. ”
Qinglan is simply inexplicable, saying where this comes from, she is not afraid of death! She stepped forward and scolded: "If our mother wants to see the scene, why can't she come to the Internal Affairs Office?" It's good that you honestly call out the person in charge, what are you doing with so much nonsense? ”
The little eunuch's face turned white and he insisted: "Niang Niang and the slave go and have a look!" Please, go check it out! ”
Lu Qingjin frowned and said helplessly: "Okay! You lead the way! I'd like to see if there's anything in this house that I haven't seen before. ”
As soon as the words fell, the steward on the side came over: "What's so good about this internal affairs office, don't listen to this fool's nonsense, but a few days ago, the emperor ordered us to give Niangniang a new vegetable garden, Niangniang should follow me to see it first!" After all, it's almost autumn, and it's too late to grow vegetables. ”
Lu Qingjin was stunned by his words, and when he saw the little eunuch on the ground, he still insisted and said: "Forget about the rest, don't be in a hurry to release it first, let's follow the little eunuch to see it first!" ”
The steward's face was already very unsightly, if Lu Qingjin couldn't see anything in it, she would live in vain, Qinglan took a step forward and scolded sharply: "What are you two doing in secret?" Is there something that the mother can't even know? ”
The little eunuch on the ground hurriedly kowtowed: "Please save my sister and save the girls in and out of the palace!" ”
Lu Qingjin looked at the dilapidated and gloomy palace in front of her, and her heart was cold, she grabbed the steward's collar and asked, "How the hell is it, you'd better make it clear!" ”
Concubine Li walked in from the door unhurriedly: "I'm also here for this matter, Niangniang doesn't have to worry, they haven't had time to deal with this batch yet, and people will be able to find it sooner or later." ”
Lu Qingjin originally just guessed that Wen Yan's heart was tight and speechless, Concubine Li saw her shock, and said in some surprise: "You have come here, I thought you already knew!" ”
Lu Qingjin shook his head and walked towards the backyard under the leadership of the guards: "I don't know, but someone told me that the civilian girl who asked the Internal Affairs Office to send it out a few days ago is missing, and I thought it was because the Internal Affairs Office was not dedicated to the work and did not send it to the place, but I never expected it to be like this." ”
Concubine Li looked helplessly at the door that was pushed open in front of her: "I also heard that there was a problem with the Internal Affairs Office not long ago, no one would have thought that the steward in the palace would be able to contact the traffickers, as far as I know, the girls and boys who passed through their hands were miserable." If you're not prepared, don't go in. ”
Lu Qingjin shook his head and walked in insistently, only to see the chains in the empty room tied to the girls who were not wearing clothes, many of them had scars on their bodies, and even more limbs were twisted and their breathing was weak.
Lu Qingjin looked at the steward who was kneeling beside him in fear and let out a long sigh: "I thought that the oil and water in this palace were enough to feed you, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless." ”
The steward knew that he couldn't hide anymore, so he sneered and said: "If the first emperor is still there, we don't have to do this kind of troublesome thing, now the treasury is empty, we can run away, where is the oil and water to fish, we have no choice but to do this kind of thing, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for managing this palace impenetrable." ”
Lu Qingjin closed his eyes and didn't speak, but Concubine Li on the side sneered: "People who hurt heaven and reason always have the ability to reverse black and white, this palace doesn't say much to you, you should know what kind of crime it is to sell women in Dayu, just take it yourself!" ”
Lu Qingjin didn't pay attention to them, just looked at the little eunuch at the beginning and said softly: "From today onwards, you will be the steward of the Internal Affairs Office, take your sister down to rest!" I'll definitely find out about it. ”
The little eunuch agreed and left, Concubine Li looked at Lu Qingjin's gaze and nodded, but the internal affairs office had been blocked for an hour, and Lu Qingjin quietly left while Concubine Li was investigating.
Qinglan followed behind Lu Qingjin and asked a little strangely: "Now that the bad guys have been punished, shouldn't Niangniang be happy?" Fang Cai saw that many palace maids were still in good condition, and they were all very grateful to the mother. ”
Lu Qingjin gently opened the door of the vegetable garden and walked in, it was still fruitful, she finally felt that the depression in her heart had dissipated a lot, she sat under the cucumber shelf and smelled the fresh smell and said: "This matter must have nothing to do with that charity mage, I am just a little helpless, I can live very well, but I want to use the pain of some people to achieve my own cultivation." ”
Qinglan couldn't speak, she could only weed quietly beside her, Lu Qingjin looked at the huge eggplant and suddenly smiled: "It's me who disturbs myself, other people's cultivation has nothing to do with us in the end, but this matter can't be counted like this, you take someone to notify a few other concubines, just say that everyone must be severely punished, and no one else in the palace will dare to do it again." ”
Qinglan agreed, blessed and left.
