Chapter 67: Breaking the Siege
"My lord misunderstood, what the slave said is true."
Shen Yunzhen glanced at Liu February: "There are more than 100 palace maids under Liu Zhangshi, and they have been doing their best to serve their masters. But there are many people under him, and it is common for him not to pay attention to some small things. ”
Liu February's thought that Shen Yun had really come to fall into the well, and her heart was beating wildly, but now seeing that Shen Yun was really helping her speak, she couldn't help but be a little moved.
Liu February's head nodded at the housekeeper: "My lord, it's true, the slave and maid are really powerless in trivial matters." ”
"Okay," the chief of the Inner Mansion sighed, "Since you know the details, then you can talk about it." ”
"My lord, as far as the slave knows, Binghe has always loved wine, and before falling asleep, he has to drink a few taels. From time to time, the reward given to her by Liu Zhangshi was told to be secretly taken to exchange for wine and drink. Therefore, the slave maid thought that last night should have been when Binghe got up at night, and he was drunk and did not wake up, so he got lost in a trance, and the wellhead was slippery, so he fell into it as soon as he stumbled. ”
"Huh." The steward of the inner government stroked his beard: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, right?" ”
Shen Yunzhen's eyes were slightly examined, and he smiled: "My lord, everything is under your control, why not make it small and make it small?" ”
"Big and small?" The steward of the Inner Mansion laughed dryly: "I'm afraid someone wants to hide the truth, right?" ”
Shen Yunzhen was not in a hurry to defend: "My lord, the slave maid is not trying to hide anything, but she is really thinking about Si Zhenju, and even more so for you, my lord." ”
"Think about me? You're just a little palace maid, and I'm afraid you won't be able to do that. The housekeeper glanced at Shen Yunzhen.
Shen Yun Zhenwan said: "The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the emperor has a clear decree to have a happy and peaceful reunion year. Everywhere in the palace, there is probably no hope for a disaster. You are the manager of the Inner Government, and the Sizhen Bureau is under your direct control, if something happens to the Sizhen Bureau, the emperor will blame it, and you will also follow the melon. ”
This is reasonable, and when he was talking about the heart of the inner house steward, he glanced sideways at Shen Yunzhen.
"You go on."
"It is out of this consideration that the slave maid begs the adult to report a drunken stumble and fall into the well, and turn the big thing into a small one."
The steward of the inner government sighed heavily: "But if this matter is handled like this, isn't it unfair?" ”
Shen Yunzhen shook his head: "My lord, if you have to find out what is right and wrong from the beginning, then ice lotus, catkins, no one can escape the blame." ”
"Oh? How do you say that? ”
The steward of the inner mansion was almost confused by Shen Yunzhen, but he was still slightly self-conscious, and his face did not change, so as not to show timidity in front of the palace maid.
"Actually, Liu Zhangshi had this consideration before, so he knew that Binghe had done something wrong, and he didn't report it. The reason why I deal with it internally is that I don't want to cause trouble to you, who knows that Bing He's temperament is so big, and he can't even stand a small punishment. What I didn't expect was that Liu Wu's friendship with Binghe was so deep that he did not hesitate to reverse right and wrong and come to see the adults by leaping over. ”
Seeing that the steward of the inner government did not speak, Shen Yunzhen complimented again: "But Liu Wu never expected that the adults would not believe it and come to investigate the matter in person." The slave and maid have all the charges and physical witnesses of Binghe here, and if the adult wants to investigate, the slave and maid will fully cooperate to the end. ”
The head of the inner government lowered his eyes, although he did not fully understand the details, but the cause and effect have been roughly understood, this matter seems to be very complicated, if he is allowed to track it down, I am afraid it will take ten days and half a month, which is really troublesome.
The manager of the inner government looked at Liu Eryue: "Liu Zhangshi, is this really the case?" ”
Liu Eryue nodded: "That's true." ”
Shen Yunzhen saw that Liu Eryue had responded, so he said to the internal government steward: "The evidence of Binghe's framing of Ah Zhen is ironclad, as long as the adults want to see it, the slave can come up with evidence at any time." This matter has already been punished by Liu Zhangshi. Who knew that Liu Fu actually reversed black and white in front of adults, she slandered the slave and maid, and almost charged Liu Zhangshi with a crime of not distinguishing between right and wrong. ”
"So, the sin is on the catkins?" The head of the inner government glanced at Liu February: "Huh? Liu Zhangshi, isn't this catkins your niece? ”
Liu February's face showed embarrassment: "Lord Hui, the slave and maid are not strict in teaching, and the slave and maid must be disciplined well when they turn back." ”
Shen Yunzhen saluted the steward of the inner mansion again, and said: "The truth is already clear, the culprit Binghe is dead, if the adults track it down, at most they will catch a wicked person who sues first." Although the matter is not big, if it makes trouble, I am afraid that it will upset the emperor. My lord, think about it, the emperor is upset, what good can it do to adults? ”
The steward of the inner government glanced at Shen Yunzhen, and the manager casually fiddled with a white jade wrench on his fingertips.
"So, according to the slave maid, just report a misstep and fall into the water, don't pursue it any further." Shen Yunzhen said.
"I didn't expect this small Sizhen Bureau to hide the dragon and crouching tiger. Liu Zhangshi, how did you come up with such a delicate and penetrating slave? ”
Liu February's glanced at Shen Yunzhen and said with a smile: "The adult praised it falsely, in fact, this is not the credit of the slave." ”
Shen Yunzhen said with a smile: "My lord doesn't know, Liu Zhangshi usually teaches by word and deed, and the slave and maid are familiar with it, and they only learn three points of truth." Slaves and maids often hear Liu Zhangshi mention adults, saying that adults are wiser than Kong Ming, and they are lenient and benevolent. The slave and maid often think that such an adult must not be like a fairy, who knows when I see it today......"
Shen Yunzhen deliberately made a long sound.
"How about seeing each other today?" The steward of the Inner Mansion asked with interest.
"When I saw it today, I even compared to the gods, and the slave and maid have never seen such a kind adult, just like ...... Maitreya Buddha in the temple. ”
The steward of the inner government laughed loudly, and nodded Shen Yunzhen with his hand: "Liu Zhangshi, this girl under you, the chief manager saw it today, and he almost praised the official to the sky with a clever mouth." ”
Liu February's heart was relieved when he saw that the housekeeper smiled, knowing that today's difficulties had passed, and there were more smiles on his face. He turned around and took a small wooden box and quietly stuffed it to the housekeeper.
"My lord, this is a Dongzhu, a little careful thinking is not a respect, don't shirk it, adults."
"Eh, what are you doing here?" The steward of the inner government pretended to tear up with Liu February, but still put the small box into his pocket.
"Okay, there are other things to do in the inner house, and the chief manager won't stay long." The head of the inner mansion stood up, looked at Liu Eryue for a while, and said: "The one who committed suicide, no, the palace maid who fell into the well will reward her with ten taels of silver as a dress." ”
"Yes, the slave will do it in a while." Liu Eryue owes her body: "The slave and maid send the adult." ”
After sending off the housekeeper, Liu Eryue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Yunzhen: "Yes, what a clever mouth." ”
Shen Yunzhen hooked the corners of her lips: "It's wrong, it's not the mouth that is smart, it's the person." ”
Liu Eryue rolled her eyes: "Say you're fat, you're still panting." ”
