Xu Shu couldn't ignore it after all, when Li's burning gaze was locked on her, even if she was immersed in boundless darkness, she could still feel the eagerness in that gaze and could not refuse, she could never refuse anything to contribute to the Xu family.

Turning her head to inquire, Xu Shu understood why the Zhou family finally lowered her arrogant head, the Song family had a big deal this time!

The observation envoy sent by the imperial court found a huge corruption case in Jiannan Province, involving as much as 60 million taels of silver, involving 7 provinces and 52 prefectures, and more than 600 officials in the case, and the Song family was also implicated.

The cause of this wide-ranging corruption case was a farce of a lawsuit in the summer!

In July this year, Huang Daoan, the county commander of Jiang'an County, Luzhou, suddenly sounded the Wentian drum, claiming that someone impersonated him to serve in Jiang'an County, and the current Jiang'an County order is fake, he is real, he was intercepted and killed by bandits on the way to office, but he escaped alive, and finally arrived at the post after ups and downs, but found that there was already a county order in the county government of Jiang'an County, also called Huang Daoan.

Thinking of the robbers who suddenly appeared on the road, Huang Daoan kept an eye on it, and did not go directly to the county office, but disguised himself and hid near the county office to observe and inquire, and after half a year of investigation, he finally found out the whole story and collected relevant evidence.

When Huang Daoan revealed the matter to the Luzhou Assassin with evidence, he was framed by Liu Deren, the Luzhou Assassin, and Huang Daoan realized that the Luzhou Assassin and the impostor were in the same group, and Huang Daoan bought the executioner who wanted to execute him secretly in exchange for a way out.

Huang Daoan was unwilling to be replaced in this way for the official position he had earned after studying hard for 20 years, and he couldn't tell who else was with Liu Deren and them.

When the Wentian drum was beaten, when they saw the ragged and skinny Huang Daoan, the ministers were surprised but didn't take it seriously, just thought that it was another failed move who was insane.

However, when he said that someone had impersonated him as an official of one of his parents, and said it in a conclusive and orderly manner, he finally made the emperor look sideways, and in order to find out the truth, the emperor blocked all the news about this matter, and secretly sent an observer to Luzhou to investigate.

Unexpectedly, the observation envoy went to Jiannan Dao but found that the impersonation was not an isolated case, there were more than ten officials like Huang Daoan who were impersonated and replaced by officials, and the real officials had all died, and Huang Daoan was the only one who saved his life.

Following the fake Jiang'an County Order, which lasted for two months, the observation envoy found out that this corruption case, which involved the largest amount of money since the founding of the People's Republic of China, developed from selling official positions to forming a party for personal gain.

The Song family of Zhongyong Bofu was implicated because the current Zhongyong Bo Song Xin was greedy for a military salary with the then Fuzhou Governor of Fuzhou during his tenure in Fuzhou Sima, Jiangnan Province, and the amount involved was not much, and it had nothing to do with the corruption case, but it happened to be found out at this juncture, and with thunder and anger, the Song family naturally did not fall well, if it were not for the fact that the Song family was the founding father of the country and had the iron coupon of the meritorious hero given by Emperor Gaozu, I am afraid that it would not be as simple as being suspended and left for investigation!

It's no wonder that although the Zhou family is flustered, they have not completely lost their backbone, although they have committed a crime, but there are not a few officials who have always eaten empty salaries, and it is almost a tacit rule in the officialdom, as long as it is not excessive, the people above will turn a blind eye and pass it, but Zhongyongbo is unlucky and unlucky when he did not pick a good time, and secondly, it is Zhongyongbo who is involved instead of Song Erye, even if it is not light, the heaviest punishment in the end is also the Song family's room, The impact on their room is much smaller!

Xu Shu passed the interpersonal relationship between the Song family and the Zhou family in her heart, and gradually gained eyebrows.

The sister of the second master of Song's deceased original wife of the Da family was once the concubine of the first emperor, and after the death of the first emperor, all the concubines had to become nuns, except for the original queen of the first emperor, and Concubine Wen!

Concubine Wen was crowned with the name of talent in the capital, the first emperor admired his talent and summoned him into the palace, the first concubine, the following year was still the queen mother's birthday, the concubine made a palindrome birthday poem, only to surprise the four, the first emperor immediately promoted it to the concubine, after the death of the first emperor, now I can't bear to be buried in the concubine's talent, named it the concubine Wen, to avoid the pain of becoming a monk, give the palace to live in the palace, teach the palace women's poetry.

The Zhou family entered the palace to see this Concubine Wen, although this Concubine Wen lived in a simple place, but she won the respect of all the masters of the six palaces.

Scold...... The women in the palace are really not simple, Xu Shu shook her head, she didn't want to get involved in the grievances in the palace, and decided that in addition to bringing the Zhou family into the palace, she would hide away from the rest.

Just thinking of entering the palace, I couldn't help but think of the eldest prince again, Xu Shu's brows frowned, the slap that Bangfeng received, the crisp sound is still echoing in her ears, she said that she can't let Bangfeng suffer this grievance in vain, it's time to vent for Bangfeng, this corruption case is a good opportunity!

How could the Liang family not intervene in this kind of thing?

Presumably, the Liang family is also panicking now, but they are afraid of exposing themselves, so they dare not rashly enter the palace to discuss countermeasures with Concubine Shu, and just take the opportunity to enter the palace to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday.

It is impossible for Mrs. Yongle Hou to enter the palace when she has been sick in bed for a long time, even though Aunt Chen, who is in the palm of her hand, is calling for wind and rain in the inner courtyard of the Chen family, but she is always just an aunt outside, and she is not even qualified to enter the palace.

The concubine of the Marquis of Yongle was born in the Wei family in southern Fujian, and after the generals who jumped to the marquis by virtue of their naval military exploits, she had a bold and upright personality, and she did not understand the intrigue between the women in the house, nor did she know the twists and turns in the officialdom, so she was afraid that she would not be able to bear this heavy responsibility.

In this way, the only one who can represent the Liang family to enter the palace to meet Concubine Shu to discuss countermeasures is her second sister Xu Yan!

Then it's no wonder she's imposed! Xu Shu let out a sigh!

Because of the Sun family's affairs, Xu Yan was humiliated repeatedly, which can be said to hate Xu Shu to the bone, but Xu Shu forced the Sun family to slap her face, Xu Yan just wanted to attack Xu Shu and couldn't find a reason, and because the Sun family announced Sun Xiang's death without authorization, Yongle Hou secretly thought that the Sun family was disgusted with his incompetence, and felt that he couldn't count on it, Yongle Hou, who was already looked down upon by his noble colleagues because of his low background, was the most taboo and despised in his life, and this anger was transferred to Xu Yan who was sandwiched in the middle to spread the word, Xu Yan held back her grievances and had no place to vent, I hated Xu Shu even more.
