Shi Ji really didn't know what Su Xiaoman meant, he was originally concerned about her, and when he asked this at this time, it was a little difficult to answer, and besides, he also had some inexplicable feelings for Huang Fengyi now, which was even more difficult to answer.

"This is still not available for the time being, don't worry about it, I don't have this mind for the time being."

Huang Fengyi put her mind at ease after hearing this, her heart was up and down during this period of time, and she was about to cry when she heard that Shi Ji really had a sweetheart, but in the end, Shi Ji really said that she had no thoughts, so she put her mind at ease, and she got along with him in the future to let him know that she was good, in that case, there might still be a chance.

Along the way, everyone talked a lot of interesting things about themselves, so that the driving atmosphere would not be too boring, so as to end this boring trip happily.

When I returned to Beijing, it was already a few days later.

Everyone rested for a while, and Lu Li returned to the palace while it was still dawn to deal with these political tests that had been delayed for a long time.

Shi Jizhen followed Su Xiaoman and the others to the Lu Mansion, and after arriving at the Lu Mansion, the three of them entered the study.

After approaching the study, Pearl Xianglan immediately brought some tea and snacks for the three of them to eat, and saw that Su Xiaoman and the three of them were busy with Pearl Xianglan, so they forcibly withheld their thoughts and withdrew from the study.

The three of them talked together about the clues collected in the territory controlled by the Huang family, which were compiled into a booklet, which was waiting for tomorrow's court, and the account list put the sorted out and the originals together and handed them over as evidence.

After the three of them said that all the things were ready, it was already past dinner time, Su Xiaoman invited Shi Ji Zhen to dine together, and Shi Ji Zhen did not refuse, so he stayed to dine with the two of them.

By the time Shi Jizhen left, the sky had completely darkened, and Su Xiaoman and Huang Fengyi discussed some matters about their daughter's family, and she tried Huang Fengyi's mind by tapping on the side.

"What's the matter, is there any man in the picture now! It's been a while since you left the Huang family, have you met the right person now? ”

Huang Fengyi was a little excited when she heard Su Xiaoman ask, she especially wanted to say that there was something, but she couldn't express it because of her arrogance.

"It's okay! Now the time is still short, I don't have any optimistic people, and now I haven't recognized all the sons of the Beijing family, how dare I say that I like someone! ”

Su Xiaoman saw that her mouth was tight, so she didn't ask, but told her some interesting things about when she and Shi Jizhen went out to handle the case, what is a dog hole drilled into Yuzhou City, the last time he was kidnapped, he started to say that he wanted to use a wooden stick to stun the soldier squire, but in the end, it was indeed him who fell the least, and later he was trembling when he faced the soldier squire.

Huang Fengyi smiled heartily after listening to it.

"Poof, haha, this nerd has a lot of trouble! But is it so dangerous for you to investigate the case? Shi Ji is really able to withstand his physical strength? ”

In addition to laughing happily, he was also a little worried, because Shi Jizhen's physical strength was really not very good, and it was really okay for him to do so many overloaded things?

Su Xiaoman joked when he heard that she was caring about others.

"Who says it's not, his body is very weak, and every time he comes back from a mission, he has to call the doctor to take a look!"

In this way, the two women talked and laughed and laughed after a pleasant evening.

The next day, because Huang Shangshu's last plan failed, Huang Fengyi became no longer an old minister after leaving the palace, persuaded the emperor to set up a concubine and accepted the harem.

No one reported the matter, so Su Xiaoman stepped forward to report the Huang family's official tax collection.

The old ministers standing on the side of the Huang family were all shocked in their hearts, and now that something happened to the Huang family, they had to bear some of what they said.

When Su Xiaoman had just finished reporting to the Huang family, he left the old minister to defend the Huang family.

"Your Majesty, this matter of buying an official should not be done by the Huang family's own family, it may be some children of foreign families."

Lu Li sat on it without saying a word and looked at it quietly, and Su Xiaoman replied after listening to him.

"The adults are really like gods, it is indeed not the work of the family, the main thing is that the concubines of the family and the children of the foreign family are right."

After speaking, he took out the booklet that the three of them had sorted out yesterday from his chest, handed it forward, and handed it to Lu Li with the father-in-law on the emperor's side.

Lu Li pretended to read it seriously, frowning as he watched it, and the ministers who didn't know the truth thought that the Huang family had committed a big deal this time.

"Is everything written above true?"

Lu Li handed the pamphlet to the father-in-law beside him, and the ministers who were lying down and wanted to see it could be passed on casually, there were really a few ministers who wanted to take a look, and they were dumbfounded after reading it, although 10 million taels of silver was not much, but it was all scavenged from the people, but the people in the territory under their jurisdiction were not happy.

Some ministers didn't believe that Su Xiaoman really investigated the real accounts, so they stepped forward to ask questions.

"Master Su, since you wrote that the Huang family embezzled 10 million taels this time, can you have a real hammer?"

Su Xiaoman waited for someone to refute them, they thought she couldn't produce evidence, but she had to slap them in the face.

Su Xiaoman stepped forward again and took out the account book from his arms, handed it to the eunuch respectfully, and said to the ministers.

"This is the result of this investigation, and these ledgers are all searched from the Huang family. The seal inside cannot be faked, please ask the emperor to check it. ”

After reading it, Lu Li gave it to his father-in-law next to him and asked him to keep it properly.

After the account book was taken out by Su Xiaoman, all the ministers were not speaking, and listened to Lu Li's speech.

Lu Li looked at the ministers in the hall and began to make decisions without speaking.

"This ledger is handed over to the household department for review and verification. I also participated in this investigation, so whether it is true or false, I have my own judgment in my heart, and I hope that the household department will not be deceived when checking. The secretary of the military department listened to the execution, and I ordered you to send someone to arrest the personnel related to the purchase of officials and hand them over to the prison of the criminal department. ”

The head of the household department and the head of the military department should have stepped forward, Lu Li paused and continued.

"I give the household department a day, not half a day to count all the accounts, and when the military department sends people to arrest people, we must take back the silver looted from the people and put it in the treasury for the use of the state."

Everyone received the decree, and no one spoke in the court, so Lu Li asked questions.

"Ministers, now the government of the place under the jurisdiction of the Huang family needs more than one prefect, and the ministers can

Have a recommendation? New officials can also nominate themselves, and I will immediately appoint candidates to administer justice for the local people. ”

After saying this, Lu Li saw that no one stepped forward, so he looked straight ahead and announced his retreat.

All the officials bowed their heads and bowed, and they all sent the emperor off.

After Lu Li's decree was passed down, the household department sorted out all the accounts in the morning, and then handed them over to the military department, and the military department Shangshu immediately sent someone to arrest the criminal.

In the evening, Lu Li received a lot of letters of recommendation from ministers in the upper study, as well as a few self-recommended documents, Lu Li took a general look, and the ministers recommended several new officials who had self-recommended for the scientific examination, so he immediately issued an order to those young sons, ordering them to leave tomorrow to resume their lives.

The Huang family had already prepared, and when they knew that a ledger had been stolen, they said that so many silver tickets would be placed in that side room in case of emergency.

Soon, the soldiers went to the place where the Huang family was located to arrest the concubine and the children of the foreign family, and found tens of millions of taels of silver tickets in the side room, and the human and material evidence were all there, so they quickly said that they were arrested.

A few days later, the new prefect took office, and the whole city was peaceful and slowly regained its vitality.

Although the Huang family lost the silver taels in recent years, it was worth saving the lives of the family.

In the struggle with Su Xiaoman, the Huang family lost the first battle and suffered a great loss of vitality.

After this incident, Su Xiao was full of joy, suppressed the Huang family, and helped Lu Li recover a large amount of money, which was really happy.

Moreover, the people of the new prefect can finally live and work in peace and contentment.

After the matter was dealt with, the Lord Yushi of the Imperial Historical Observatory verbally praised Su Xiaoman and Shi Ji Zhen.

In the first battle, Su Xiaoman called Lu Li out of the palace, and called Shi Ji Zhen and Li Ran to Lu Mansion together.

She simply held a small celebration banquet in Lu Mansion.

Taking advantage of the fact that the weather has not yet begun to cool down, Su Xiaoman set up a banquet in the courtyard, although there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the dishes are everyone's favorite.

Although the matter has not been completely resolved, the initial situation is very smooth, so everyone is allowed to eat.

After eating for a while, Su Xiaoman raised his glass to greet everyone.

"Come and we'll raise a glass together. If it weren't for you, I am afraid that I would not have succeeded alone, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you. ”

Su Xiaoman paused, twitched his nose and said sincerely. "These."

Shi Ji really saw that there were tears in her eyes, and she didn't know if she had drunk too much or really felt something, so she quipped.

"How old are people still crying here, wipe them quickly."

Su Xiaoman confronted him with some unconvincing when he heard this.

"I just want to cry, can't I? The love is naturally strong in the depths, do you understand? ”

Hearing Su Xiaoman say this, everyone laughed, yes, the love is naturally strong in the depths.

Lu Li didn't speak, and quietly looked at Su Xiaoman, who had drunk too much, and his eyes were gentle.

Huang Fengyi has never been in the habit of drinking, so she sat aside and held a small wine cup and tasted it carefully, and quietly looked in the direction of Shi Jizhen while tasting it, like a trap

The little woman who fell in love was very shy.

All this is in Su Xiaoman's eyes, but she doesn't say it, because the relationship between the two people should naturally be explained by the two people.

Shi Jizhen had already drunk a little too much at this time, so he fainted at the table with inarticulate speech, Su Xiaoman laughed that he was too strong to drink, but he was also a little unsteady on his feet, Lu Li stepped forward and took her into his arms and stroked his eyebrows.

"Stinky girl, you can't drink so much, and you laugh at others, and you don't look at what you look like."

Huang Fengyi, whose face was full of insects, was envious, and Li Ran tasted the wine by himself without asking about trivial matters.
