238 Suspicious things

The Dingbei Palace's Mansion is now biased towards the prince or the prince, and there is no accurate number so far, which is also the reason why the prince and King Qing dare not make a big fuss.

Recently, it seems that although Qi Yunhao and King Qing have played chess together a few times, it is not as simple as playing chess when it reaches the ears of others. The matter of fighting for power is very important, even if it is a sister, Liuli also knows that Shuhua's words are not only for the prince, but also contain some true intentions, but since the Song Mansion has been connected with the East Palace, then some words cannot be said as much as before.

Shuhua glanced at her, and shook the fan slowly, "I know that you can bear it, but I don't have to worry about it in vain, speaking of which, I am also the daughter-in-law of the Song Mansion, and it is not my turn to pay attention to these things, that is, to see what is going on with you." ”

She also understands people, seeing Liuli like this, she knows that people have seen through their intentions, it is a matter between men, and she doesn't want to be estranged from Liuli because of this, so she is bound to use this to talk about it.

Liuli smiled and said, "Come back, sit down." I'm a good cook here, and I've ordered a lot of dishes today, so you can try it! ”

Shuhua also smiled: "I just want to blackmail you!" ”

Naturally, the prince is no longer talked about at the dinner table, there are so many powerful families in Beijing, there are more topics to talk about, Shuhua has been an official wife for a long time, and the doorway here is naturally clearer than that of Liulimen, and it took a while to eat a meal.

After using the tea, the sun was slightly oblique, and Shuhua said: "I'm here, I'm going to sit with the three girls." ”

Liuli thought about it, called Yuegui, and said: "Go to Yongqing Hall to echo the second grandmother, just say that the fourth aunt and grandmother are here, so let's go to Yongqing Hall." ”

Laurel answered. Liuli said to Shuhua again: "I won't go, wait for Yuegui to come back and take you there." I didn't bother to pay attention to her sour look. ”

Shuhua glanced at her and said, "You don't have a very forgiving mouth." ”

After saying a few words, Laurel returned. glanced at Liuli and said, "The second grandmother said that she is not feeling well, please ask your aunt to come back." ”

Shuhua heard this and looked at Liuli, and Liuli snorted. said: "You won't blame me for being unforgiving this time, right?" ”

Because of Song Bi's prestige. Shuhua is also a figure who can walk away in the circle of noblewomen, and now she is so face-wrenched by Yuhua, no matter how good her cultivation is. At this time, I couldn't help but pull down my face.

Two days after Shuhua left, Liuli received an invitation from the East Palace, saying that on September 19, a big wedding would be held in the East Palace for the emperor's eldest grandson Lu Zhen and Song Zijun. Ruri glanced at it and put it on the bookcase.

The matter of Liuli's collision with the crown prince gradually fell into the dust with the imminent wedding of the emperor's eldest grandson, and at the same time, the emperor's eldest grandson's maiden family, Song Bi's mansion, has officially entered the imperial family. Lu Zhen is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and his marriage is also personally designated by the saint, and the wedding is also held in the East Palace. As a result, in the past few days, the crown prince has been blessed by Song Bi, and the market in public opinion has begun to rise a little.

When Ji Xiaoquan sent melons and vegetables into the house, he said these words to Liuli as usual.

But Liuli had already guessed the development of things, so he didn't have much interest, waiting for him to finish. So he nodded and asked, "Let you inquire about the affairs of Zhuangzi, do you have any eyebrows now?" ”

Ji Xiaoquan paused and said, "Although the eastern suburbs are not as fertile as the southern suburbs, they are also a good place to grow melons and vegetables. However, there are also a few small fields for sale. But it's not a good place. After a small calculation, it would cost at least one or two thousand taels of silver to put one down, but the annual harvest was no more than two or three thousand taels, and it was impossible to draw it. ”

Liuli said: "I'm not in a hurry, you just pay attention to it first." ”

Ji Xiaoquan nodded, then glanced at Liuli, and said, "There is one more thing, I don't dare to hide it from my grandmother." ”

"What's the matter?" Liuli said.

Ji Xiaoquan looked left and right, took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Two days ago, when the little grandmother was collecting rent in the shop in Qingmiao Hutong, she met Nie Daguanren, the younger brother of the fourth lady of the He Mansion, who was selling the shop there. ”

Speaking of rent collection, we have to talk about the dowry shops in Liuli by the way. She has a total of three shops, one is given by Aunt Su, that is, the rouge shop where Red Sleeves and Jia Fu are staying, and the two of them are currently in charge, and they are running well. There are two more rooms that the old lady gave her, and as soon as she cleared the door after passing the door, she found that although there was no phenomenon of greedy ink, there was no surplus, and the two shops were good, so she simply let Ji Xiaoquan go out and collect some rent. And the people in the shop who are willing to go to Zhuangzi will go to Zhuangzi, and those who don't want to go will buy back the deed of sale, and Liuli is not embarrassed.

Ji Xiaoquan said that the shop in Qingmiao Hutong is now rented to people to do a gold shop, in the east of the city, this area is a place to do business, Nie's brother is the Nie Boyuan who worked with her to make money from the army, he is not learned, and he is good at tricks, I heard that he got the money later, and he also bought a few shops to start a business, and now Ji Xiaoquan said that he saw him selling shops there, I don't know what is strange.

He asked, "What's going on?" ”

Ji Xiaoquan said: "The little one inquired at the time, and I heard that it was this Nie official who owed a lot of debts to others, so he had to sell the shop." ”

"Owe money?"

Ruri was bored. When she found the account book that Nie gave her from Yu, the numbers recorded on it were enough to make people jaw-dropping, and what Yu received was only a small part of the whole sum, and most of it belonged to this Nie Boyuan, why did he still owe other people's debts in the past few years? "Is it a bad gamble and lost money?"

"It's not." Ji Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "The specific small one is not very clear, I only know that the creditor he owes money seems to have a good background, and it is not the common people, but related to Jing Zhaoyin." When he was selling the shop that day, the man also followed him by his side, and his clothes were very gorgeous, and he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person. Nie Daguan seemed to have some handle in his hand, and he was very low from beginning to end, and the man was commanding, and said to him, "Just such a little silver can't even fill my belly, and you still want to fill our dignified Jing Zhaoyin's belly?" That's why the little one guessed where this man came from. ”

Ruri's brows furrowed even tighter. Nie Boyuan actually has a handle in the hands of Jing Zhaoyin, what could it be? The word grain requisition suddenly flashed in her mind, if there is anything in the hands of Jing Zhaoyin, and it needs to be sold for the sake of the shop, then Nie Boyuan's matter will not be small. If it is a great matter, what could be greater than the power of collecting grain and money in the hands of men?

"What else did you find?" He stared at Ji Xiaoquan, she knew that he was cautious, and if he wasn't absolutely suspicious, he wouldn't say this so solemnly. Now it depends on whether he is willing to tell her and Panpan.

Ji Xiaoquan looked at her and spoke: "The little one thinks that this Nie official is very suspicious, so after he sold the shop and returned the money to the man, he immediately rushed to the golden warehouse in the south of the city." But for some reason, he didn't find anything when he got there, and then he got angry, punched and kicked at the warehouse wall, and cursed, 'Duan Zhiping, you dog thief, you dare to slander me!' It looked very devastating. ”

The south gate of the city is the necessary place for grain transportation every year, so the government has also set up several large granaries in the south of the city, and this golden warehouse is one of them, which is also the place that has been used to store grain over the years. Since the army returned to the dynasty, the golden warehouse is useless, Nie Boyuan hurried there at this time, not to eliminate the handle of collecting money in the first place?

However, "Is this Zhiping the person you mentioned earlier about related to Jing Zhaoyin?" Ruri asked.

Ji Xiaoquan pondered, looked at her fixedly, and said: "Because the little one also wanted to give grandma a definite answer, he went to check, and found that this Zhiping is not only the nephew of Jingzhao Yin Liu Hong Liu, but also the brother of General Duan Yanshan Duan. ”

Hearing Duan Yanshan, the cup in Liuli's hand almost fell to the ground! This Duan Zhiping, who blackmailed Nie Boyuan, is the prince's dog leg, Duan Yanshan, who was beaten by her and couldn't get out of bed?

It's not surprising that these officials in Beijing are all relatives, but since this Zhiping has the ability to blackmail Nie Boyuan, then he must also have some inside stories about the Nie brothers and sisters cooperating with the Yu family and He Lili to make money, otherwise with Nie Boyuan being the son of Zhengqing of Dali Temple, even if he is a concubine, how can he be blackmailed by a gentleman?

If Duan Zhiping, as a younger brother, has mastered the inside story of the grain requisition, will Duan Yanshan also know about it?

He Lili used to be a subordinate of the prince for many years, and He Yuhua is the daughter of He Lili and Yu, and she is the young grandmother of Dingbei Wangfu, and the eldest daughter-in-law of Mrs. Dingbei Wang.

Liuli didn't forget that the sign of the Jade Garden in the long room was still written by the prince himself, Duan Yanshan, as the prince's dogleg, could naturally understand the importance of this, and most of the evidence would be presented to the prince, and the prince would inevitably simply wipe out these substitutes for He Lili, because this would not only keep He Lili to continue to serve as his henchman, but also sell face to Yuhua and Qi Yunjing and the Mei family.

Liuli touched the powerful place, and couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.

The saint has asked people to investigate the matter of food and grain several times, and it can be seen that he also attaches great importance to this matter, if he wants to defeat He Yuhua, he has to cut off her back road from the root, how can she let He Lili and Yu escape the crime so lightly and skillfully? What's more, He Yunhao used his power for personal gain back then, and as a result, he almost killed Qi Yunhao on the battlefield, no matter what, without Qi Yunhao, there would be no her today, and after the matter was revealed, Qi Yunhao would sooner or later take revenge on He Lili, so she kicked her a few kicks at He Lili back then, and promised to give her to Yuhua as a dowry, she also had to rush before Qi Yunhao, and let He Yunli and Yu die in her own hands!
