There was cheating in the capital, and there was a lot of uproar. After Du Yi heard it in the Hou Mansion, he said to Bai Mei: "Okay, I originally planned to make a whole Du Zhigao, but I didn't expect you to even tell Ah Cheng."

When Bai Mei heard this, she knew that Du Yi was not really praising her. Then he shrunk his neck and said, "Miss, it wasn't the slave who said it on purpose. Isn't there a secret guard by the young lady's side, and what the slave and maid do naturally can't escape their eyes. It's not surprising that the master will know, but he just excludes the opponent a little. Miss, don't you want to help you? It's not bad to take this opportunity to cut off some branches, right? Otherwise, if it's just one person, I'm afraid the effect will not be so good. ”

When Du Yi heard this, he nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Yes and no." It is possible to cut the branches, and the effect is better. It's just that you forgot, the bigger it is, the easier it is to cause Zi Yifeng's resistance, and if he finds someone to find out about me, what should I do? ”

Bai Mei shook her head and said, "Miss, don't worry, the people here are all trustworthy." This thing hasn't been circulated from outside, who knows where to start? Otherwise, just find a substitute for the dead. In this matter, Zi Yifeng must know that the master did this. Miss, I've made my own decisions, so don't go this way during this time. And don't go to see the little master today, otherwise it will be a big trouble. ”

Du Yi groaned and said, "You did the right thing, he is now the target of Zi Yifeng's people's attention, and it is easy to attract attention wherever he goes." Xiao Shuai only went today, and it is hard to guarantee that Zi Yifeng's people will not think that there is a Taishi involved this time, and if Xiao Shuai is accidentally noticed, it will be troublesome. ”

Bai Mei breathed a sigh of relief, she just knew that Du Yi was enlightened, and she would not blame her for making her own decisions. Fortunately, there was only a moment when she was really afraid that Du Yi would be angry.

She didn't think that this time the incident would make such a big fuss, and she actually pulled out more than a dozen people at once. It seems that the master and the little emperor were ruthless this time and decided to start cleaning up some people.

In the imperial study, the little emperor looked at Zi Yicheng, and his little face was full of worry: "Uncle Huang, is this really okay?" Uncle Liuhuang, will he trouble you? ”

"It's okay, that's it, those people must be convicted as soon as possible. But if they could find a substitute and bail him out for some money, it would be great. Our treasury is now empty, and if a family is willing to spend 10,000 taels of silver, our treasury can at least be replenished a little. Uncle Huang, the people I selected are all sons of wealthy merchants, or children of official eunuchs, and they are all from the Zi Yifeng faction. A mere 10,000 taels is still there for those people. ”

Zi Yicheng's abacus crackled, and Du Yi and Xiao Shuai had heard what they said about bail before, so that there was the current play.

First, the person who cut off Zi Yifeng. Second, he helped Du Yi take revenge. Third, it can also enrich the treasury. As for the innocent people, they are all ordinary people, and they were able to be admitted to the lifting of people before, but they still spent money. But it didn't matter, the silver ended up in his pocket, and now he took the opportunity to go out and count it in one fell swoop.

Those unkind gains are just contributed to the treasury. With this silver, before the beginning of spring, he bought all the grain and distributed it to the people of the Purple Moon Country, so that by October this year, when the people were sufficient, he would have fewer scruples.

"Alright, I'll make an order now. By the way, Uncle Huang, how should the will be written? "Under the teaching of Ziyi City, Taishi and Yushi, the little emperor is now much stronger in dealing with things.

"You can write whatever you want, and you can express the meaning. The general idea is what Uncle Huang told you, plus that this silver is used to buy grain and distribute it to the people in all parts of the Purple Moon Country for the benefit of the people. ”

The little emperor nodded, and then took up the pen and wrote out the holy decree, covered it with the jade seal, and let it be issued.

Let's say that Du Heng's family was so angry that their eyes widened after they knew that Du Zhigao was cheating. Du Heng was originally full of confidence in his son, but at this time, after learning about this, his first reaction was: "Those who are framed must be framed." Who is it, who is it that wants to harm my son? ”

Du Ling's whole body fell to the ground, from crying to crying, her hope was shattered. After what she had experienced, Du Heng had already seen her unhappy. Originally, she could still count on her son's chances, but she could still have some hope when the time came. Now it's gone, it's all gone.

Ling Fenfang had a dark face and went back to the Guogong Mansion directly, Du Zhigao got along with her day and night on the eve of the exam, she knew everything about him, and it was impossible to cheat. She must go back and ask her second brother for help, and her second brother will definitely find a way. As long as she helped Du Zhigao this time, when he came out, he knew that he knew about it, and he couldn't give her a leave of absence.

Only Ling Fenfang was disdainful from the bottom of her heart after hearing this. This family doesn't have a good thing except her father. Her mother and sister-in-law are sluts, and his eldest brother is now doing such a humiliating thing.

knew that this would be the case, and during this time, she entered the palace to accompany the Queen Mother. Now it's okay, in addition to this matter, the people who originally came to propose marriage have all run away, which is really humiliating.

After Hongying saw the situation in this house, she secretly looked at Bigui, and couldn't help but smile. What is this, this is just the beginning.

"Hongying, clean up, let's go into the palace" Du Zilin didn't want to stay in this house anymore, as long as she thought of being pointed at as soon as she went out, she felt embarrassed and panicked.

"Miss, isn't it good to go now? The young master's matter hasn't been resolved yet. Besides, if we enter the palace now, what will others say, will the Queen Mother allow it? ”

Hongying doesn't want to go, she wants to stay in this house and watch a good show. Besides, the palace is something she Du Zilin can go to if she wants to? The palace is not her home, she is the daughter of a merchant, and she really thinks of herself as a green onion.

"Less nonsense, let you pack up and leave, what do you say so much? Besides, why can't I go to that palace? The Queen Mother likes me so much, but as she said, as long as I like it, I can enter the palace at any time. Du Zilin relied on this sentence to dare to be so arrogant.

At this moment, the horse steward who had been sent out returned, followed by Du Yi and Liu Rushi. Du Yi helped Liu Ruis and entered the hall of Du Mansion, and when they saw this picture, the two glanced at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes.

"Uncle, what the hell is going on, why is it so good, saying that cheating is cheating? The little aunt can't live at home, so she has to come over to see it. ”

"Master, what's going on with this kid Zhigao, he is very talented on weekdays, and he definitely won't do such a thing, is there a misunderstanding? Ru'er heard that there was a problem with that paper, where did you buy it, and was it the person who sold the paper that harmed her? ”

Originally, Du Heng was still very moved, but after hearing this, his face sank: "That is my Du Mansion's property, how can I harm my son?" At the beginning, I repeatedly told him not to bring paper in. Now, hey, if he had listened to me, he wouldn't have done it now. ”

Du Heng sighed, he knew that he would take the paper away at that time. He regrets it now, and his intestines are so green with regret. I shouldn't have listened to my son, because I was afraid that there would not be enough paper in it to write.

"Uncle, when I came over with my little aunt, I heard that the emperor had posted an imperial list and issued an edict to the world. He said that before this was found, if he was willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver for bail, he could bring the person back and not use it to suffer inside. This 10,000 taels of silver should be used to buy grain for the people of the Purple Moon Country, and this matter will not be investigated for the time being. It's just that the previous fame was all canceled and demoted to civilians. ”

Du Heng shook when he heard this, and was demoted to a civilian? If he didn't spend money to ransom people, then Du Zhigao didn't know how long he would be imprisoned. He currently has a son, Liu Ruyi's belly, and he doesn't know whether it is a man or a woman, so he can only redeem his son first.

But it's only been the beginning of the year, and he's spent almost all the money he should spend. He borrowed more than a dozen or two hundred thousand taels of silver, and pinned his hopes on a few years. Those land deeds, those that can be mortgaged, are mortgaged. Now there are only a few thousand taels left on his body, where will the ten thousand taels go?

"Ling'er, how much silver do you have there? I'm pretty much done with what I should have spent, and now I have less than five thousand taels left. As for Liu Rus, he hasn't given a hundred taels a month at most, how much can he have in the past few years.

When Du Lingshi heard this, he stood up tremblingly with the help of Bigui. When he heard this, he cried again: "There are only a thousand taels of silver." Yi Yi took 1,600 taels at that time, Fen Fang took 3,500 taels, Zilin took 1,000 taels a year ago, and the child also spent 1,000 taels to settle. ”

Doe didn't expect it to be like this, their money was gone so quickly. She can understand this Du Heng's matter. It's just that this Du Ling's clan is only a thousand taels, which is incredible.

"That adds up to only six thousand taels, and there is still a difference of four thousand taels, where to raise it? What about the fragrance, she must have silver, where did she go? ”

Ling Fenfang took three thousand five hundred taels from Du Ling's family, and when she got married, she also married a lot of silver. The district asked her to give 5,000 taels, there should still be some, right?

In this way, the couple can still leave a thousand taels of silver, otherwise they will really be penniless. But what did Du Zilin do with so much silver?

"Zilin, you have so much silver every month, what do you want so much silver for, hurry up and take it out, now the family urgently needs silver."

Du Heng used to look at Du Zilin and was pleasing to the eye, but now the more she looks at it, the more she feels that she is more ignorant, what does she want so much silver for a girl's family?

When Du Zilin heard this, she was unhappy: "You want to redeem your eldest brother, what do you want me to do." Wherever I have money, it has been spent. ”

Du Lingshi looked at Du Zilin in disbelief, it had only been more than a month, and it was gone? She had private money before, and this added up to a small two thousand taels of silver, how can you say that it is gone?

"Where did all your silver go, how could it be gone?" There was no need for Du Heng to ask at this time, Du Lingshi himself asked directly in disbelief.

This daughter, is she too doting, so she can't tell how to use this silver. There is so much silver, how can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone?

Didn't she go anywhere but to the palace? Isn't there a reward every time you go to the palace, why do you have to spend money?

Could it be that those things were not rewarded by the queen mother in the palace at all, but she bought them with her own money? If you buy it for money, in terms of the texture of those things, it won't be worth much silver at all, and it won't be pitted, right?

If Du Zilin knew what her mother was thinking, she was afraid that she would have the heart to vomit blood. Those things, she has been precious for a long time, obviously they were given by the Queen Mother, how could she spend money to buy them herself.

"Doesn't my daughter often go to the palace? If you enter the palace, what should you not do? Which of those fathers-in-law and mother-in-law does not need a silver reward? Especially the people around the Queen Mother, if I give some silver, they can still say more good things for me, why is it not worth it. ”

Du Lingshi and Du Heng were completely speechless at this time, and the meaning in Du Zilin's words was good. It's just that people are also a slave, how much silver can you give if you give a reward? With so much silver, how did she make it?

Needless to say, Hongying saw Du Heng and Du Ling's faces, and whispered: "Miss said that she is a child of the Du family, and some of them are silver, so she must make more shots than ordinary people, so every time she gives fifty taels and one hundred taels." ”

Du Heng really laughed angrily this time, he gave it every time, and one gave it was fifty two hundred taels, which was really arrogant and generous. It's only been a little over a month.

It's not that you enter the palace every day, and you spend so much silver. If she is allowed to continue to go, wouldn't she give the entire Du Mansion to those palace maids and eunuchs?

"From today onwards, you are not allowed to enter the palace. You've been there so much, what benefits have you got? Is it just those pieces of jewelry that don't add up to three hundred taels in total? You said that the Queen Mother likes you, and what she gave you is like that? ”

Du Zilin stopped doing it when she heard this, why did she say that her things were not good? Besides, it was given by the Queen Mother herself, why didn't she get the benefits? Now that she is liked by the Queen Mother, who doesn't know? Aren't the people who come to the family to propose marriage for this?

"Dad, you're wrong. Why can't I go, I can get a different look from the Queen Mother, that is the blessing I cultivated in my previous life. ”

When Du Heng saw such an uneducated woman, he trembled with anger, pointed at Du Zilin and said, "I have already asked you to pay attention to it, do you really think that the Queen Mother likes you?" On the day of the palace banquet, you were brought by the sixth prince, and you were already a thorn in her side, and you thought you were enjoying yourself. Originally, I didn't want you to follow in, you had to do it yourself. What is the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Sixth Prince, you go to the capital to find out. From now on, let me stay in the house well, there will not be much anywhere. Otherwise, I'll send you back to Fèng City right away. ”

After Du Zilin heard her father's words, she took a step back, no, she didn't believe it. But her father is doing things for the sixth prince, how can he favor her? Is she really the thorn in the side of the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother is so good to her, and she is not quite like her.

What the hell is wrong, impossible? It's just that his father really did things for the six princes, and most of the silver in their Du Mansion was given to the six princes.
