Chapter 75: Severe Punishment

The account books submitted by Yunqing were only part of Shen Hui's corruption, and after the Queen Mother ordered a strict trial, Yang Yi ordered someone to review the incoming and outgoing accounts that Shen Hui was responsible for one by one, and found a total of nearly 200,000 taels of silver.

The eunuch has always seemed inconspicuous, but in fact, all the supplies of rice and grain in the palace passed through here, and there was a deficit of more than 10,000 taels a year, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were empty over the years.

With shoddy, accepting bribes, and deceiving superiors and subordinates, Shen Hui is already guilty of death for these three crimes alone.

It is impossible for Shen Hui to be the only one involved in such a major event as embezzlement of grain funds, and six out of ten officials of the Inner Court Department who were implicated have participated in this matter.

Anyone with a long brain will think, 200,000 taels of silver, where did Shen Hui, a pawn eunuch, dare to commit such a big crime of exterminating the nine clans, and then think of the relationship between Shen Hui and Concubine Shu and the Shen family, all the doubts seem to have been explained.

Concubine Shu got the news that night in front of the Zhengyun Palace hairpin to ask for guilt, His Majesty ordered someone to invite the concubine into the main hall the next morning, in the afternoon Zhengyun Palace passed the will, the eunuch embezzled the grain money and deceived the superiors and subordinates, according to the law to behead, the concubine was not strict under the rule, and was reduced to a nobleman.

The next morning, His Majesty reprimanded Mrs. Shen in court and ordered him to be suspended for reflection.

As soon as these successive holy orders came out, the front and harem had different opinions.

When the concubines talked about Concubine Shu's punishment, some people sighed and sighed, saying that Concubine Shu was virtuous and gentle, and all of this disaster was caused by Shen Hui.

There is no shortage of schadenfreude, Concubine Yan Shu was all pretentious in the early years, and secretly colluded with her clan sister to damage the public and private interests, which is despicable.

Among them, the virtuous two concubines are even greater.

None of these two people have been cheated by Concubine Shu openly and secretly, and now that Concubine Shu has suffered, these two people can't stand Concubine Shu's previous painstaking calculations if they don't take the opportunity to step on both feet.

Concubine Shu is still temporarily living in Qixiu Palace after being demoted, but since she was demoted, all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation have been much worse than before, and there are even concubines who praise high and low from time to time to make trouble.

"There was a fire at night, but it didn't burn too much, but Shen ruined half of his face because of it, and it was terrifying and terrifying." Half a month later, Red Sleeves told Yun Qing what he had heard, and he still had some lingering palpitations: "Concubine Lin was too ruthless, and she directly ruined Shen's appearance." ”

After the concubine was demoted, she naturally could not be called according to the previous title, because His Majesty did not deprive her of her title, and the people in the palace now call her a lady.

The clan sister made a big mistake, but Concubine Shu was just demoted, she didn't even enter the cold palace, the title was kept properly, and even the palace allowed her to continue to live, these details seem to reflect His Majesty's residual feelings for the nobleman, and it caused the Lin family to be angry.

"Ruthless, ruthless, she is even more powerful than I imagined." Yun Qing was also a little surprised after listening to Red Sleeves' words.

"If Concubine Lin is allowed to go on like this, I don't know if there will be a bigger incident." Hui Ran was terrified when he heard such cruel methods from the Lin family.

"If no one knows, he must not do it. As long as you do something bad, you will always leave some traces, and if you have the heart, you will definitely be able to find it. Yun Qing was not worried about how to restrain the Lin family, but what she hesitated now was that she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to use the Lin family to restrain Concubine Shu.

Yun Qing returned to the room with a complicated mood, it was dark, the lights were lit in the attic, Yun Qing just closed the door and noticed that something was wrong, turned his head to see, a man on her bed was lying sideways and raised Erlang's legs, a piece of jade pendant in his hand was circled by him on his fingers, a face seemed to be smiling, who was not the arrogant Emperor His Majesty?
