Prince Ren is reluctant to condemn his own woman, but he is not willing to be so confused, let the new princess enter the door to take over the lack of difficulty, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, let his daughter-in-law help clean up the housework, the daughter-in-law and the princess and the concubine are having a good time, straighten out the housework, he sits back and enjoys it, how can he take the account book back now?

However, when his daughter-in-law did this, her face was damaged again, and he made another difficulty: "You go, let the son come over." ”

Qian Jun went, and I don't know what to say, anyway, Prince Ren didn't take the account books back, Wen Jin spent more than ten days to match the family account with the physical goods in the warehouse, and rebuilt a new set of accounts, and returned it to Prince Ren.

Prince Ren saw that in the account book, the deficit was as much as 100,000 taels of silver, the princess was not blind before there were more than 90,000 taels, and in more than two years after being blind, there were as many as more than 50,000 taels, among them, the He family helped the princess manage the house for a year, including the handwriting of Yang and Dong Fangfei, the deficit was 18,000 taels, about two or three thousand taels of Yang Fangfei, the He family and the princess had 10,000 taels, and Dong Fangfei had more than 5,000 taels, and after more than a year, Dong Fangfei helped the princess manage the house, and the deficit soared to more than 30,000 taels of silver.

That's it, not counting some inexplicable and confused accounts in the treasury - the queen mother and the emperor still have a large number of rewards during the New Year's holidays, and the large ornaments, screens, furniture, etc. of pearls and jades can still be matched, but the small pieces of silk and satin cloth are a mess, and there is no signature or seal that no one has received, and there is no physical object in the treasury, and this item has a deficit of as much as seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver. For example, there is a box of Western pearls rewarded in the palace on the account, which is obviously ten, but there are only six in the house at present, and there are still four that cannot be found.

"It's so chaotic!" Prince Ren also thought that the accounts in the palace were not clear, but he really couldn't accept that there was such a big hole, "Fortunately, people checked the accounts in detail, otherwise, the new princess took over, and I don't know how to laugh at me." "Prince Ren was secretly lucky, and it was only at this time that he realized the foresight of the princess, and if she personally checked the accounts and gave this result, Prince Ren would definitely be suspicious, and even think that she was selfish and revengeful, and deliberately exaggerated the facts.

On the one hand, Prince Ren arranged for the account room to re-register the items in the treasury of the inner house and build a new account from scratch, and on the other hand, he invited several female account rooms, and he had to re-register the furnishings of the various courtyards of the inner house, and clearly distinguish the items in the public house and the private property of several women to marry.

As soon as the news spread, Prince Ren came over crying: "Lord, you can't let the princess toss like this, can you characterize us as thieves, is it good for the reputation of the mansion?" Woo."

Concubine Yang came over with two pages: "Lord, this is a public thing in my room, not a concubine's intention to hide it privately, and the concubine doesn't know what she received from the princess, she didn't keep an account." "Well, in one sentence, it all fell on the princess and cleaned her up.

Prince Ren's attitude towards Concubine Yang is still the best now, after all, the number of corruption in her name is the smallest, and it may also be caused by being deceived by her subordinates, and these mistakes can also be pushed to the princess, because she is not strict with her subordinates, and the slaves in the family are lawless and corrupt.

Concubine Dong faced the ear room next to her bedroom, and her heart was terrified, this is a small warehouse, she took advantage of the chaos of the princess's accounts to get a lot of treasures from the warehouse, a few of them were sent to her mother's house, most of them are still here, once exposed to the public, her face will be lost, what should I do? Since the day when the prince gave the pair of cards to the princess, all the mothers-in-law who guarded the door were all transferred from the Zhuangzi outside the city, and the servants she bought were also transferred, most of them were not in the house at all, I don't know where to go, she just wanted to send these treasures out, and there was no chance, what should I do?

"Concubine Niangniang, it's better to bury them all, and at night, let's dig a big pit in the small garden over there." Mother Wu blinked and suggested to her master.

"People from the outer courtyard can't come in, where can we have so much strength in our courtyard to dig such a big pit?" Concubine Dong said worriedly.

"Side concubine Niangniang, there will be a brave man under the heavy reward, as long as the money is in place, are you still worried that no one will work? The slave and maid made contact with a few mothers-in-law who raised their shoulders, and several of them could be bought. ”

"Are these people reliable?" Concubine Dong is still worried, yesterday the princess went to the prince to make a fuss, but the result was to lift a stone to hit her own feet, and now she is grounded in the yard and is not allowed to go out, she heard the news, she was very frightened, she was halfway there, and she also wanted to cooperate with the princess, put this basin of dirty water, upside down to the head of the princess, and finally was persuaded by the noon mother to come back, the people who checked the accounts were all invited from outside, and the princess did not interfere at all, and now, Rao is her means of turning the clouds and rain, and she can't refer to the deer as a horse to reverse black and white.

"Don't worry about the side concubines, they just need to keep their mouths tight for the time being, after a few days, there will be a funeral and a happy event in the house, and there is a chance for them to disappear."

"Be secretive."

"Yes!" Mother Wu took the order and left.

That night, the winding crescent moon hung bently in the sky, crystal clear, bright, and the black shadows on the ground were one after another, and the human figure could not be seen clearly from a foot away. Prince Ren was still resting in the study of the outer courtyard, Jing Yan arranged for four little eunuchs to be on duty, he rested in the subordinate room next door to the study, he was busy all day during the day, and if he didn't hurry up and sleep at night, he couldn't hold on.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the outer courtyard, and the little eunuch on duty was napping, but when he heard the sound, he immediately raised his head vigilantly and looked at the place where the sound sounded.

Under the hazy moonlight, the houses with cornices and walls were like beasts with hideous faces, and the little eunuch had a trace of fear in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and push his companion who was on duty with him: "Listen, footsteps." As soon as his words were finished, a palace lamp came out at the end of the road.

"The guard, Brother Jiang, is here." His companion whispered and hurriedly pulled him to his feet.

Guard Jiang quickly walked to the door of the study, saw the two eunuchs, and asked in a low voice, "Is the prince awake?" ”

"Nope!"

Whispers and footsteps woke up Jing Yan next door, and he got up and opened the door.

"Grandpa Jing!" The Jiang guards hurriedly saluted.

"What's the matter?"

"There is a strange sound in the inner courtyard, it has lasted for more than half an hour, and I ask my father-in-law to arrange for someone to check it out."

"What sound?"

"I don't know, it's like digging something, my father-in-law might as well deduct an empty bowl and listen to it on the ground."

Jing Yan couldn't be the master, he hesitated, I didn't know if he would wake up Prince Ren, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said to the little eunuch beside him: "Ren Qing, you take a few people to have a look." ”

Ren Qing shrunk his neck a little timidly, but he still left, he didn't dare to cause trouble, knocked on the door of the hanging flower, and kept doing it quietly, and finally found that the sound came from the courtyard where Concubine Dong lived.

The outer wall of the palace is very high, and the wall between the inner courtyard is average, Ren Qing let a tall eunuch stand on top of him, lie on the wall and take a look, and find that he was digging something, because it was dark, he couldn't see it really, so he quietly retreated and reported it to Jing Yan.

Guard Jiang was still waiting outside, his first reaction was to bury the body, his voice changed a little in fright, and he trembled: "Who is dead?" ”

"You're dead." Jing Yan pushed him unhappily, he was much more reliable than Jiang Guard's guess, the prince asked him to register the property in the inner courtyard, and Concubine Dong must have buried something.

"Scattered, scattered, what should I do, what should I do?" The smoke dispersed the crowd.

Outside, Prince Ren listened to all this in the house, he had something in his heart, he couldn't sleep well at night, and when Jiang Guard and Jing Yan were talking, he woke up.

I didn't expect Concubine Dong to behave like this, Prince Ren's heart was so cool, he had a princess who had nothing to show for herself, which had already made this family chaotic, and there was such a side concubine, and besides, this side concubine was still very favored by his side, and he even used her to suppress the princess. By now, Prince Ren finally understood why his women didn't want to see the princess come out, not to conform to their own wishes, but to satisfy their own selfishness.

"Ahem-" I don't know if it was because I turned over too much and ate the cool breeze, Prince Ren suddenly coughed, Jing Yan reacted the fastest, and immediately poured a glass of warm water into the service.

At this moment, Prince Ren has made up his mind, the princess is blind, and she can no longer turn up any storms, Concubine Dong has a prominent mother's family, and now she refuses to settle down, and the new princess will enter the door in the future, it must be a big hidden danger, for the sake of a happy life in the future, Prince Ren secretly decided to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future.

After drinking the water, Prince Ren asked Jing Yan to wait and put on his clothes: "Bring a reliable person and go to Concubine Dong's courtyard to see what she is doing." Jing Yan immediately understood what Prince Ren meant, he immediately went out to arrange, and soon called three henchmen and eunuchs, these people are usually quiet and mediocre, and almost no one pays attention to them in the palace, but they are Prince Ren's most trusted henchmen. In the evening, the mother of the afternoon brought a few rough mothers-in-law into the plantain courtyard, and began to dig a pit in the garden of the yard at the beginning of the day, she still had no experience, she just thought that in the dead of night, people were sleeping, no one paid attention to the movement here, but she didn't know that in the dead of night, a slight sound, would spread far away, at this time, the big pit in the garden, a radius of one zhang and more than one person deep, barely enough to bury the gold, silver, jade, porcelain, etc., silk and satin embroidery, because it was not tolerant, Concubine Dong planned to smuggle it back to her parents' house in the next few days. She used to do this, but the materials on hand were all rewarded in the palace, and there was no sale at all, although her brother's family also had a part, but it was far less than the number of palaces, and there were not as many varieties as the palaces, such as the silk known as one or two gold and an inch of brocade and carved silk, these rare fabrics, her brother's family was very few, and she didn't dare to send too much, lest she attract the attention of people in the palace. Now, Concubine Dong can't take care of it, she doesn't hide in her mother's house, and she can't let go of it now.
