"Yo, Princess Yan is here again?" As soon as he entered the door, the chief manager of the Internal Affairs Office greeted him, "What kind of accounts does the princess want to see today?" Do you want the silver to be soft, or do you want to eat and wear the account? ”

Shi Qingqian nodded to Manager Wang, "Manager Wang, I want to see the accounts of the past five years today." ”

"This ...... Princess Yan, you have been looking through the accounts of the past three years day by day, there are more than 300 books in the past three years, and you have not said anything about them one by one...... Don't tell the people what they are investigating, the people just want to help you check, and they don't know where to start, so it's better for you to tell the little ones, so you can share the burden for the princess. ”

The manager Wang looked bitter, after all, if he found the accounts of the past five years, it would be a big deal, and in addition to the account books that Shi Qingqian had already looked through, there were less than three hundred.

During this time, Shi Qingqian came every day, and every time he came, he beckoned his subordinates to seep out of the dusty account room and find so many account books. Originally, their work on weekdays was already very cumbersome, and Shi Qingqian would stir up the people every time he came, and he had already called people to scream bitterly.

Shi Qingqian also knew that she was about to make the subordinates of the Internal Affairs Office so bored that she couldn't do it, fortunately, she was prepared, and she glanced at Xue Ying, so she took out a bag of money and stuffed it into the hands of Chief Manager Wang, "Chief Manager Wang, it's really disturbing, you also know that the concubine Niangniang is pregnant, so she handed over the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office to me, and I am naturally cautious, which has caused a lot of trouble to General Manager Wang." ”

With short hands and soft mouths, Manager Wang took the money and naturally didn't say anything else, just nodded twice, turned his head and went out to find someone to rummage through the accounts for five years.

Shi Qingqian sat down from the house, this table was specially prepared for her by Shi Yueran, Shi Qingqian entered the Internal Affairs Mansion before, because she was not a person in the harem, and the people did not take care of her excessively, Shi Qingqian naturally didn't know that the Internal Affairs Mansion could still have a boundary for her, and she sat on the floor of the treasury and looked through the account books in those days.

While waiting, Shi Qingqian casually grabbed the ledger placed on the side and flipped through it a few times.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you are startled, and your eyes are straight.

"Princess?" Seeing this, Xue Ying even paused as he poured tea in his hand, "Princess, what do you see?" ”

Shi Qingqian looked at Xue Ying, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the things recorded in the account book, "In this concubine's palace, how come there are so many more days of food and clothing?" ”

After that, he handed the account book to Xue Ying to look at, and he went to find the account book of the previous month and the previous two months, and when he opened it, he saw that the food and clothing in the past two months had increased several times compared with the previous one.

"This ...... Xu is pregnant, so the cost of the palace is bigger, right? Xue Ying shook his head in confusion.

"Where can I fight, is she pregnant and not opened a shelter, the Internal Affairs Office has doubled the amount of money she has given her in accordance with the regulations, but she has doubled it, she is a woman, is it possible that she is pregnant with the overlord of Chu in her belly?" Shi Qingqian said, silently taking several account books to his place.

Shi Qingqian has looked through a lot of account books, but he has not paid much attention to the accounts of a specific concubine. felt that after all, Mei Qingsheng was a minister of the previous dynasty, and no matter how big her ability was, she couldn't control the concubines, but now that she saw that the concubine's flowing water was so wrong, she couldn't help but pay more attention.

"Ying'er, you go and tell the head of the king, and show me all the accounts of the concubines since they entered the palace."

"Huh?" Xue Ying frowned, "But...... However, the use of the concubines is not as good as other flows, and it is estimated that the account book will be doubled compared with the public account...... How long do you have to find out if you continue to check like this? ”

Shi Qingqian was also helpless, but he still patted Xue Ying's shoulder gently, "Everything is stable, haven't we also checked for so long, and only then did we catch a little eyebrows?" Okay, okay, let's go, Ying'er, you help Manager Wang get some, so that he won't complain again. ”

"Ah...... Princess, you can't stop being so serious, last time the slave went back to the Hou Mansion to see the eldest lady, the eldest lady also said that let the slave urge you to have a child as soon as possible, you are good, every day to the internal affairs office to turn over the account book......"

"This, this kind of thing is up to me alone," Shi Qingqian glared at her, "Okay, okay, I should do everything in this matter, how can I not believe it, after the investigation, I will have a good 'child', it's done!" ”

Xue Ying pouted, and then obediently went out of the house.

Shi Qingqian buried his head and looked at the account book again.

After checking for such a long time, Shi Qingqian read more than 600 books of the account books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Internal Affairs Office, and finally found that there were one or two pages of the account book that recorded the food and clothing of the Cangli Proton that seemed to overlap with the old account book of the Internal Affairs Office.

It's just just one or two pages out of a few hundred, and it can't be regarded as evidence, and it will definitely be said to be a coincidence, so Shi Qingqian wants to check the older accounts.

If this fake account wants to be beautiful, it is absolutely impossible to fill in a random number, so she bets that this fake account is a transcription of the old accounts from a few years ago - first, those old accounts will no longer be checked, and second, if the fake accounts want to do well, there is nothing more perfect than the real accounts.

But there is also a big problem, Shi Qingqian only knows that the accounts are fake, and the amount she actually took is far more than that, but she has never been able to find clues from other places, and in the end, she doesn't know how Mei Qingsheng filled the gap.

Now it seems that if there is really a problem with this Jia Concubine's account, maybe she used Jia Concubine's name to ask the Internal Affairs Office for a large amount of money to make up for the shortfall.

Shi Qingqian didn't expect to check and check that the concubines in the harem were also involved, it seems that the disasters are always endless, if you can't kill one, you will give birth to a litter......

"Ouch - I said Princess Yan, why did you find something else?" Just thinking about it, the manager Wang hugged a pile of account books and fell in with a sad face, "These are ten volumes, and the people in the account library have found the rest, do you look at it first?" After reading it, I'm asking someone to get you a new one. ”

After that, the manager Wang was about to turn around and go out, Shi Qingqian rolled his eyes, and quickly stopped him: "Hey, hey, the head of the king - how many accounts are there?" ”

"There are two hundred and three volumes of public accounts, and the concubines and concubines of each palace have a lot of food and clothing, and there are also many accounts...... In less than a year, there are about 300 volumes. Mr. Wang replied.

Shi Qingqian thought for a while, took off the jade pendant he was wearing from his waist, and handed it to Chief Manager Wang, "Chief Wang, I bother you to hire a carriage, I want to take these account books back to King Yan's Mansion to see, this is the fare, and the rest ...... That's it for the manager. ”
