Chapter 696: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

The lower official is determined by the queen's mother, and you really want to remove me from my post. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Mama Huang had rushed over with the palace maid from the east side hall, and raised her hand to beat her.

But before she could hit her, the palace maid next to Mama Zhang stopped her.

Seeing that these two groups of people were about to fight, Murong Hui said lightly: "Mama Zhang, go and ask my guards to come over, since Mama Zhang is so uncooperative, then don't blame the palace for being ruthless." ”

Mama Zhang was already standing at the door, and after listening to Murong Hui's words, she walked out quickly.

Before the people brought by Zhang Shanggong could react, she had already walked away.

Zhang Shanggong panicked at this time, knowing that Murong Hui really wanted to deal with her today.

But now, she can only bite the bullet and say: "Your Highness, if the old slave is at fault, you will be punished, and if you make a mess like this, you will really not give the old slave any face, and the old slave of the Shangfu Bureau has also been in charge for more than ten years, and I am afraid that it will not be as good as ...... others."

"Zhang Shanggong, when I was wrongfully imprisoned and self-stealing last year, I paid attention to you, at that time, you were not so arrogant to such a point, only a few months later, why did you become like this?"

Before she could speak, Murong Hui had already asked coldly.

Zhang Shanggong's expression instantly became embarrassed, and her eyes revealed a bit of coldness.

She has been the Shanggong of the Shangfu Bureau for more than ten years, and the entire Shangfu Bureau is naturally obedient to her.

Therefore, if someone wants to frame Murong Hui, naturally they can't get around her.

So she knew everything, but she pretended not to know before and secretly cooperated.

Now that she was asked by Murong Hui, she was stunned, but she quickly reacted.

"Your Highness, it turned out that I was angry with the old slave because of this incident, and the old slave really didn't know about last year's incident, and I hope that Your Highness will look at it and spare the old slave once."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mama Zhang walk in with a group of guards, pointed at Mama Zhang and said, "It's her." ”

The guard walked up to Zhang Shanggong with an expressionless face, pushed away the palace maids who were blocking the surroundings, and dragged Zhang Shanggong out.

"Your Highness, the old slave is loyal to the queen...... Smack......"

Before she could finish her words, Mama Huang slapped her hard in the face.

"Shut up, old thing, tell me, who doesn't know what kind of goods you are in the palace?"

Qingyue pointed at Zhang Shanggong's nose and scolded.

Half of Zhang Shanggong's face was swollen after being beaten, and his hair was scattered, looking very embarrassed.

Not long after she was dragged down, there were bursts of screams outside, which could be heard clearly by those passing by the east side hall.

Chief Manager Qi originally wanted to test Murong Hui's attitude, but now when he saw her doing this, he was afraid that he would also be dragged down, so he hit twenty boards, hurriedly saluted and retired, and ran away.

The little palace maid brought over by Zhang Shanggong was also frightened, and fell to her knees on the ground.

"I'm a small place in the east side hall, you all go out and kneel, when Zhang Shanggong finishes receiving the punishment, you can leave!"

Seeing that they were scared like this, they no longer had the strength of the fox and tiger just now, and Murong Hui didn't want to scare her anymore, so she just sent them all away.

"Your Highness, this time is really relieving."

After they were all gone, Qing Yue walked over slowly and said with a smile.

"Go and inquire what kind of person that Deputy Shanggong is, Qinglan's affairs still depend on her."

Murong Hui has never been a person who is for the sake of momentary anger, this time she entered the palace not for Qinglan's business, she will only knock Zhang Shanggong a few words, and she will definitely not make such a ruthless move.

Qing Yue put away her smile and nodded solemnly, the people in the east side hall were like a marquee.

There are only a few who can really stay, Qinglan is silent, so she is never brilliant, but she entered the east side hall with her, so she still has some feelings.

"Your Highness, don't worry, since you have helped us clear the obstacles, then leave the rest of the matter to the slaves and maids to investigate."

Although she has some friction with Mama Huang in private, when she encounters trouble, she naturally has to be consistent with the outside world.

"Take this silver to take care of it, remember to check it quietly, don't startle the snake."

Murong Hui thought for a while, then took out a piece of loose silver in the dormitory, handed it to Qing Yue and said.

"Your Highness, this silver is enough, let people go and get spring clothes tomorrow."

Mama Zhang has always been speechless, but there is a bit of coldness in her eyes.

"Then be careful."

Murong Hui's mood was suddenly a little nervous, she clenched her fists, nodded and said.

When they heard this, they all went out to make arrangements.

Murong Hui went back to the study and wrote a few words before she calmed down.

The next morning, she rushed to the study to go to class as usual, and everything was the same as before.

When she got out of school in the morning, she hurried back to the east side hall to ask if they had found any suspicious people.

"Your Highness, I saw a total of four people who like to wear red tassel accessories, but these four people have not been to Huxin Pavilion on the day of Qinglan's accident, maybe there will be news in the afternoon."

Without waiting for Murong Hui to ask, she heard Mama Huang come over and say, with a somewhat puzzled look on her face.

"Don't be in a hurry, just look for it slowly."

Murong Hui let go of his hand and sighed, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but he still cheered up and said.

"You don't have to worry, we're sure we'll find that guy."

Qingyue's face was nervous, she was really anxious, and she couldn't figure out which link went wrong.

"Recently, have there been palace people out of the palace?"

After thinking for a moment, Murong Hui suddenly spoke.

"In addition to the people taken away by the emperor and queen, there are only six palace maids left by Princess Rouhe."

Mama Huang thought about it carefully, and then said with her eyes wide suddenly.

"Your Highness, do you think it was the gentle county lord who made people kill Qinglan."

Qingyue is not a fool, she reacted immediately and said excitedly.

"Everything is soft, and after the princess returns to the palace, it will naturally be clear. The palace maids beside her were all from foreign countries with him, and each had unique skills. ”

Murong Hui took a deep breath and sat helplessly at the table, saying that it was useless to say these things now.

Mama Huang sighed with resentment, but she knew that this matter really couldn't go on now.

"After a few days, let's go out of the palace."

After Murong Hui communicated everything, she was a little depressed in her heart and wanted to go out of the palace to relax.

Qingyue answered, and went out to prepare.

In the afternoon, Murong Hui went to the study to attend classes as usual, and without the county lord Wanyi, no one would come to her for trouble, which made her feel a lot more at ease.

"Your Highness, my brother sent the accounts over today, and I have calculated it with Sister Xu, so I invite you to come and see it this time."

After school, Gao Ziyue handed over an account book, and Murong Hui took the account book without looking at it, so she stuffed it into her backpack.

"I'll see it when I'm free, you really won't pick the time."

Murong Hui smiled, she complained to Gao Ziyue, and then got up to go out.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, if there's anything you can't do, we'll give you a hand."

Gao Ziyue didn't care about the situation in front of her at all, and said in a big voice.

"What are you, dare to get involved in palace affairs?"

The county lord next to him chuckled and said disdainfully.

After speaking, he glanced at Murong Hui, and his eyes showed a bit of sarcasm.

"County Lord Cheng, you better say a few words, don't anger our princess, and then let her guards drag you out and hit the twenty boards."

At this time, I listened to the noble girl next to me, giggled and said nervously.

"Miss Chen, your emphasis really hasn't changed at all, it's a pity not to sing Kunqu Opera."

Gao Ziyue didn't dare to scold the county lord, but she dared to slap this noble girl, when she was in the overpass, she also sarcastically said Gao Ziyue, how could she endure it now?

"Xiao Yue is not sensible, and the county lord of Cheng is not sensible? Why do you have to speak so harshly, those who don't know still think that you and Xiaoyue have any personal enmity. ”

Murong Hui glanced at the county lord of Cheng, with a smile on his face, as if he was joking.

"I have a personal enmity with a lowly merchant girl like her, she doesn't deserve it!"

The county lord of Cheng sneered, got up and was about to go out.

"That's a grudge against me."

Murong Hui ordered someone to block her way, and said lightly.

The county lord of Cheng turned his head with an impatient face: "You are endless, I just reprimanded a merchant girl, and you want to be unforgiving." ”

"Because she's my companion, she's talking about me."

Murong Hui looked at her calmly, put away her smile, and said with a serious face.

"What kind of master there is, what kind of companion to read, all of them are superb."

The county lord pursed his lips disdainfully, bypassed Murong Hui and left quickly.

"Your Highness, why do you bother with her, it's just a county lord, what are you crazy."

Although Gao Ziyue was born in a royal merchant family, she grew up in the circle of official ladies since she was a child, and she was called a merchant girl since she was a child, she has long been used to it, so she doesn't care at all.

"Her father was promoted, and now she is ranked second-class, so she naturally has crazy capital."

Lord Wanning walked over at this time, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what he thought of.

"My father taught me that the better I live, the more modest and cautious I must be, otherwise it won't be long before I get proud, and sooner or later I will have to make a big mistake."

Out of the study, Xu Qing suddenly said slowly.

"Sister Xu, I don't think this is suitable for you, you are just too modest and cautious, sometimes you should be arrogant, don't let others think that you can tolerate anything."

Gao Ziyue rolled her eyes helplessly, then patted Xu Qing's shoulder and said earnestly.

"No way, I don't have a father who is ranked second."

Xu Qing said expressionlessly, her tone was slow and methodical, and she winked at the two of them after speaking.

Murong Hui and Gao Ziyue were both amused, and Gao Ziyue pointed at Xu Qing and said helplessly: "Sister Xu, your joke is too cold." “

"Now I have palace affairs to take care of, because there is business outside the palace, I still need you to rest assured, and when I am free in the future, please go to the champion building for dinner."

Zhuangyuan Building is the highest consumption restaurant in the capital, and a meal is worth the annual income of ordinary people.
