Chapter 404: Sin Deserves It
The people in the third room naturally didn't do it, and they stood in front of the mansion every day, crying and shouting, making people panic, and the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was lost.
Lu Qingrong only felt sorry after hearing it, but in the final analysis, they deserved it.
I'm used to these smooth days, how can I do without a sense of crisis?
Whether they were born in the Houmen family or ordinary people, the family must have a kind heart and a sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace in order to be able to go far, but it is obvious that they are used to enjoying the days, so they are a little arrogant, so that they are completely to blame for today's fate.
……
On this day, Nie Jingyang hurriedly returned home, his face was not very good, and when he returned to the Summer Palace, he poured a few sips of tea before sitting down.
Lu Qingrong immediately let Xinyang Xinliu go out, pressed Nie Jingyang's shoulder, and helped him rub it carefully.
Nie Jingyang felt sorry for Lu Qingrong, so he took her hand and asked her to sit down without rubbing it twice.
Lu Qingrong looked at him funny, "In the past, I didn't see you so angry, what happened today?" Aren't you chasing the case of the lost gold these days? ”
Nie Jingyang was angry at this point.
Grandmother and father both wanted him to investigate this matter privately, so he only received an errand on the surface in the court, and secretly he was still pursuing the gold case.
It's just that, for some reason, now the Manchu Dynasty civil and military know that he is investigating this matter in private, and he has obviously been alarmed, and it is useless for him to lurk in such a secret.
"Lady, how did you know that I was pursuing the case of the missing gold?"
With a light smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Qingrong poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"Is this still a guess? This gold case was solved by you and my third uncle, and now that the gold is lost, you should be responsible for it to the end, even if the emperor has no will, this matter is already in your hands, you will definitely be responsible for it to the end, is there anything to guess? ”
Nie Jingyang fell into decadence.
I thought that the secret I did would not be discovered, but I didn't expect everyone to know it.
In the end, the problem is on his side, and I'm afraid that those people will know that he has been pursuing the gold case because of this.
Lu Qingrong realized it later, "You shouldn't be angry about this matter, right?" ”
Nie Jingyang was embarrassed, and it took a long time to explain, "The lady doesn't know, I investigate this matter privately, and naturally the officials of the court will be involved, whenever I ask, they seem to know in advance, and without waiting for me to ask, they will know everything and tell me everything." ”
"It is also conclusive that it is to help me handle the case, with the intention of attaching myself, most of these officials in the DPRK and China are greedy for money, and today I went to visit a few petty officials of the fourth grade. As a result, he received nearly 5,000 taels of filial piety. ”
There are really few people in the officialdom who are not greedy, the smaller the official position, the more greedy people are, the petty officials are greedy for the country's money, and the big officials are greedy for the money of the small officials.
When these petty officials saw Nie Jingyang asking, they were afraid that they would naturally offer it if they thought he was going to ask for money, and besides, the Xuanguo Mansion is now so powerful.
Attached to the Xuanguo Mansion is naturally one more backer.
Lu Qingrong smiled and quipped, "Isn't it good if someone gives you silver?" If you go on such an investigation, when the civil and military officials of the Dayu Dynasty will review it, maybe the gold will not be found, but you will find a large amount of silver, with this silver, no matter whether you can find the whereabouts of the gold or not, I believe the emperor will not blame you too much. ”
Nie Jingyang was amused by her words, "The lady is really good at laughing, if that's really the case, I'm afraid that the emperor will remove me from my post and investigate it." ”
Lu Qingrong continued to joke, "I'm not joking to you, if you take so much money and hold it in front of the emperor, the emperor may not be angry, have you heard of the bloody guard." ”
"Since the lady knows about the existence of the Bloody Guard?"
"Just a coincidence, I knew about it by chance."
The matter of the Bloody Guard was that the prince told her, and she didn't pay attention to it originally, but Gao Yuangao just told her yesterday.
In several other states in the territory of the Dayu Dynasty, how many wealthy businessmen were inexplicably killed?
And the finances of the house disappeared overnight, as if the gods were haunting, making people panic.
This reminded her of the existence of the Bloody Guard.
The treasury is empty, and the emperor naturally has to think of some other ways.
It's just that she thinks the money obtained in this way is not good after all.
If this continues, the famous businessmen of the Dayu Dynasty will be slaughtered.
Businessmen represent not just one person, they represent many people, and they represent the greatest interests.
Where there are many merchants, they naturally prosper.
If you want the treasury of the Dayu Dynasty not to be empty, the help of these merchants must be indispensable.
The emperor asked the bloody guards to do that, but in fact, it was not a good thing for the Dayu Dynasty.
"Listening to your tone, you should also know the Bloodcoat Guard, so do you know what the Bloodcoat Guard does?" Lu Qingrong asked softly, as if chattering.
The bloody guard who made the courtiers smell it seemed to be a name in her eyes.
Nie Jingyang originally wondered why she knew, but her indifferent appearance eliminated any suspicion.
"The Bloody Guards are exclusive to the emperor, they are often sent by the emperor to do some secret things to supervise the hundred officials, and when the court officials hear the name of the Bloody Guard, they all change their colors, once they are targeted by the Bloody Guards, it will end up being cramped and skinned."
"The Bloody Guard was established by the emperor himself eight years ago, only belonging to the emperor, and the people inside are all loyal, and they are all the emperor's henchmen, all of them are strong in martial arts, few people have seen the existence of the Bloody Guard, and the adults in the court know that there are a few, even if they know, they will not easily tell others."
In other words, she actually knew, which was a little strange.
Lu Qingrong didn't hear it, she was sure that Nie Jingyang must have known another meaning for the existence of the Blood Clothes Guard, but he didn't want to say it.
In that case, it was inconvenient for her to ask more.
"By the way, I've been idle lately, but I've heard something about the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion."
"In this matter, I was about to tell my lady that Du Mingruo had hanged himself yesterday and died in the study of the fifth prince."
"Dumino is dead?"
It's really sudden, the old lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion just passed away a few days ago, and the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is breaking up again, and now a bunch of things have not been resolved, and now there is the death of Du Minnuo, and it is really eventful!
It's just that if it's too much of a coincidence, could it be that someone is deliberately targeting the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion.
"Good manner, why did Du Mingnuo die in the study of the fifth prince?"
