Chapter 54
Qin Bairui followed the people of Dali Temple on the front foot, and Zhong Zhuyu resigned from Princess Ning and the lord of Yaoling County on the back foot, and returned to the house to prepare for the dots.
"Talon, call the slush back."
"Whoa." Hongclaw responded, and the figure soon broke news in front of Zhong Zhiyu's eyes.
"Chunhe, how much silver do we have that can be moved?"
Chunhe pinched his fingers and counted carefully, and said, "Not counting the prince's money, we still have more than five hundred taels of silver." ”
More than 500 taels... Too little.
Zhong Zhuyu thought and said, "What about Daddy?" ”
The account office in the palace did not follow the Zhong Mansion, so now all the money is in the hands of Aunt Liu.
Chunhe had already called Aunt Liu over when Zhong Zhuoyu said that he was going to make a point, and at this time, Aunt Liu heard Zhong Zhuoyu's question, and replied without humility or arrogance: "There are 107,000 taels of silver that can be taken out." Originally, there were more than that, but before the prince went to Beiwang City, he added a lot of items to the soldiers out of his own pocket, and there were only 107,000 taels left. ”
"It's okay, let's take out 30,000 taels first, and after the weather gets really hot in a few days, the business of the shop selling silk will be very good, and we won't worry about not having any income."
Zhong Zhuyu took the time to read the shop under the name of King Zhenbei and the account books of the palace a few days ago, and left an impression of these in his mind, and handed over the next thing to Qi Bo and Aunt Liu to take care of.
Aunt Liu got the words, so she took the 30,000 taels of silver tickets and said with a smile: "I know that Miss has a lot of things to do outside, so you don't have to worry about these. ”
If other subordinates say this, it is difficult to keep the suspicion of wanting to fill their pockets, but Aunt Liu, like Qi Bo, is trustworthy, and after saying this, Zhong Shuyu only felt warm.
"Then I have to trouble Aunt Liu to take care of it more in the future."
"Miss's words are out of sight, this is what the old slave should do."
While the two were talking, Slush was carried into the door by Hongpaw.
"I wonder what the young lady is anxious to find a slave for?"
"Put aside the matter at hand for a while, and find out who wants to frame Qin Bairui."
"Whoa."
Zhong Shuyu paused, and then asked: "You say, in this Lin'an City, where else can the case be investigated except Dali Temple?" ”
"If you say that in addition to Dali Temple, it is the Criminal Department and the Imperial History Tower. The Criminal Department is responsible for reviewing cases of exile or higher sentences in Dali Temple, and the judicial trial system supervised by the Yushi Observatory can also participate in the review of unjust cases. ”
The Criminal Department and the Imperial Historical Tower?
Zhong Zhiyu went through all the people he knew in his mind, and found that not to mention the supervisor, he didn't even know the sweeping maids in these two places.
But you still have to work hard.
So Zhong Zhiyu took 30,000 taels of silver tickets, and asked Chunhe to take a lot of exquisite calligraphy and painting gadgets, called someone to prepare a carriage, and personally went to the door to send gifts to the Shangshu and Yushitai of the Criminal Department.
She is no longer the county lord, and these people may not sell themselves a face.
Zhong Zhiyu knew it in his heart, and was even ready to be stopped at the door. However, although they were not very enthusiastic, they still did not close the door.
But in the end, it was a person who took the tea and cooled it, Mo said that releasing Qin Bairui was to let them help check it, but it was also all kinds of shirks, and even the gifts were confiscated, so she was invited out.
"Miss, don't be too frustrated, Xiao Zhiqing is the master of Dali Temple after all, they must not want to rush to rob him of the work of Dali Temple, so as not to offend people." Haruwa comforted.
Zhong Xiyu sat in the carriage, frowned, looked at the slowly receding street scene outside, and explained, "I know. It's just that I really don't worry about Xiao Zhiqing, he can't wait to convict Qin Bairui right away. ”
"Although Xiao Zhiqing has a big temper, his reputation is still good, with the name of 'iron-faced selfless', he was registered in front of the emperor, otherwise he would not have been allowed to come to arrest He Junshi with the holy decree last time." Chunhe continued to comfort, and a pair of eyes followed Zhong Zhiyu's gaze, for fear that he had missed something.
"But he has an old grudge against Qin Bairui." Zhong Zhiyu rubbed his temples: "What's more, the person who dares to make a fuss about the Lord of Yaoling, and can know that the Lord of Yaoling County will go out today, must not have a low status, if Xiao Zhiqing finds out and is coerced and lured by that person, Qin Bairui still can't please him." ”
"Then we can denounce him!" Chunhe's tone was cheerful: "When the time comes, I will come to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Yushitai again, just... Just accuse him of forming a party for personal gain, as well as bribery! ”
"Then how do we know he's found someone?" Twilight accosted.
"Wait, maybe someone can really help us!"
Zhong Shuyu clapped his hands, lifted the curtain, and said to the coachman: "Go to the mansion of the servant of the ministry." ”
The coachman said yes and turned around on the next street.
"Miss, are you going to ask the servants of the Ministry to help us keep an eye on Xiao Zhiqing?" Chunhe immediately understood what Zhong Zhiyu meant, and praised: "This is wonderful, there are officials staring, and he Xiao Zhiqing has to weigh whatever he does." ”
Zhong Shuyu said with a smile: "It is not certain that the servants of the Ministry will help us or not, but at least the probability is greater than these two." ”
Chunhe looked at her eyes and guessed, "Miss is talking about Wanjin Wangirl?" ”
"Not bad."
Having said that, Zhong Zhiyu thought that he forcibly took Wan Jinxiu to attend the poetry meeting of the wine prince, causing her to make a fool of herself at the poetry meeting, and her heart was a little empty, what if Wan Jinxiu didn't help herself if she held a grudge?
No, it won't!
Zhong Zhuyu cheered herself up in her heart, didn't she accept all the apologies she gave her at the beginning, and said that she didn't blame herself......
Just as she was struggling in her heart, the Minister's Mansion arrived.
Chunhe stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after telling the porter that the daughter of the king of Zhenbei had come to chat with Miss Wan, he was welcomed in.
This minister's mansion is the same size as her bell house, and the interior layout is simple, but it is also warm, and it looks like a harmonious house.
Zhong Zhuoyu looked envious, and when he saw Wan Jinxiu, he said: "The decoration of Jinxiu's home is really good, unlike my Zhong Mansion, even if Qi Bo has specially arranged it, but it still feels cold." ”
Wan Jinxiu is not as familiar as Zhong Zhuyu, and when he saw Zhong Zhuyu, he didn't salute, and he didn't salute, so he just stood awkwardly and replied: "It's just some ordinary things, county... The county lord smiled. ”
"I'm not a county lord now, just call me a jade." Zhong Yuyu winked at her and said with a smile: "Isn't Jinxiu still blaming me for the incident at the cocktail party?" ”
"No, no." Wan Jinxiu hurriedly denied it, and thought that the king of Zhenbei was deceased, and Zhong Zhuoyu was quite pitiful to be alone now, so he took the initiative to say: "If it is... I like the decoration of my house, so I'll visit you another day and arrange it for you. ”
"That's a good dare!" Zhong Zhiyu took Wan Jinxiu's hand and sat down, looking anti-guest: "At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, I thought you had a good face, and sure enough, now we have become good friends!" ”
The partial Sheng Wan Jinxiu didn't think there was anything wrong with her being like this, but she was a little uncomfortable with the "good friend" in her mouth, and replied dryly: "Yu's definition of a good friend is really peculiar..."
Zhong Zhiyu's face remained unchanged, and he still said with a smile: "It's okay, then since we are friends, now that I'm in some trouble, can you help me." ”
Wan Jinxiu: Sure enough, I knew that this person would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, hehe.
