Chapter 889: The Aftermath of the Plunder
Qin Buzhou saw that the old lady was angry, and immediately fell to the ground like a soft persimmon, begging for mercy with tears in his eyes, and at the same time hated this person who had done more to the bones. Although he is unbearable, he is also a vegetarian on weekdays, mediocre and incompetent, and he knows how to win and lose money playing cards all day long, but in his heart, the palace is his home, his faith, his life, there is such a big thing in the palace, he is not comfortable at all, not to mention that it is a big basket poked out by his own people, and he is ashamed, afraid and resentful, the so-called shame and courage, Qin Buzhou, who has made up his mind at this time, is puffing up a backbone called loyalty under the soft and collapsed skin.
The old lady scolded a few words, and she was tired, she was an open-minded person, although there was such a big thing in the family, but no matter how big the mess was, it couldn't press the old lady's steel pillar-like nerves at all. Although she can't be called a long-lived hundred years old now, but after knowing the destiny of heaven, but the ups and downs in her life are things, I'm afraid that she has experienced more than the centenarian, she has served the emperor anyway, and was almost killed by the queen, almost killed her nephew, since she can hide in the nunnery for ten years, she can still pull her daughter half of the way (Lin Xuanchen's mother is the biological flesh and blood of the old lady, royal blood, Chongwang Zhao Lingchong is the stepson, so the age difference between the two is very small) to grow up, and she can also marry her daughter to the best of the Jinshi at that time, Gusu Yandao is the inspector, and the blood drop is a partial general, whether it is the wisdom of the means, or the tenacity of the ultimate need, it is by no means comparable to the idle people. Therefore, although the palace was stolen, the old lady still tenaciously and calmly presided over the overall situation.
She knew that no matter how harsh she was to criticize Qin Buzhou, it was useless, and seriously speaking, Qin Buzhou was only jointly and severally responsible for this matter, right? Qin Buzhou was a small steward who even had jurisdiction over flowers, plants, mountains and stones, not the head of the husband, and the biggest thing on his head was just a charge of lax imperial control and careless use of people. The old lady naturally knew that what she really had to do now was to punish the husbands and servants on duty, find out the losses, and report to the officials.
As he was talking, he saw someone coming in outside, this person was no one else, it was the daughter-in-law of the Wang family who had the same status as Wang Shanbao's family in this palace, this person was actually very similar to Mrs. Wang, His Majesty was harsh, his hands were tight, and the dual-use of silver was given out one point at a time.
The old lady knew that this person had always been at odds with Wang Shan's family, so she asked her, "How about sending your father-in-law to report to the official?"
"Back to the old lady, the concubine went with the princess, and the civil and military yamen ran away, but she almost didn't get into the door. The daughter-in-law of the Laiwang family said respectfully.
"Don't let you in?" the old lady said curiously: "The eyes of the people of the civil and military yamen have grown to the sky?
"It's not that he won't let him in, it's that there are too many people to report to the official, and he can't squeeze in!" Xianggong hurriedly reported to Dali Temple, and when he arrived at the forbidden army Duwei, he let the concubine come back, and brought fifteen servants to the duke in the foyer! He himself lined up at Duwei's place...... "As he spoke, Laiwang's eyebrows fluttered: "I'm afraid the old lady doesn't know this time, King Zun, King Mei, King Xian, King East, King West, Duke Zhenguo, Duke Jingguo, Duke Xuande, Duke Wei Ling, Marquis of Juma, Marquis of Jingyang, Marquis of Shenwu,...... Almost all the famous ones in the imperial city have been stolen, I really don't know who has such fat guts! God, you don't need to ask, the concubine will tell you about it, this time the thieves in the imperial city may be the same as the gang of rebels in the fourth city, or something else, in short, after the fourth and third times, the defense strength of our various royal mansions and marquis' mansions is only afraid that they will see the light, so they have attracted such a large-scale robbery...... The real palace is poor, and there is an old monster in charge, but I am afraid that those bandits did not dare to go, our family's marquis, this time has made a great contribution, it is said that the main master did not show up, and killed dozens of bandits, except for three huanghuali plates, there is nothing else to lose! The worst is Meiwang Mansion, I heard that dozens of small servants died, and several maids in the palace were arrested!" Lai Wang's eyebrows fluttered and said, the more serious the situation was described, the more relieved the servants and women around him. It seems that everyone is unlucky, which can set off that the loss of the palace is not serious, and it can set off that the guilt of these subordinate servants is much smaller, and it can calm the anger that Mrs. Wang is about to explode.
"Since everyone is here, what are you still doing in a daze? You and Wang Shanbao's family who came to Wang's house, merge Juan'er, and the three of them went together to take the servants to investigate the scene, preparing to report the loss of the documents, and the final report of the lost orders is always here in the old body, and the old body can only report to the civil and military yamen after seeing it. When the old lady heard that the people from the yamen were coming, she hurriedly arranged for the three of them to join the people from the yamen to investigate the scene and count the losses, and then she didn't ask Lin Xuanchen's people in more detail, but instead asked Mrs. Wang's own girl, Li Momo, and called Mrs. Feng, as well as a few maids left behind by Wang Yurou.
Such a busy morning is almost over, and everyone who has nothing to do has to stay in the "meeting hall", not allowed to go out, and there is no joke and entertainment at all, Wang Yurou hurriedly took an opportunity, quietly sneaked to Zhao Yuheng's side, and whispered the words that came out of Lin Xuanchen's mouth last night to Zhao Yuheng, and sure enough, seeing Zhao Yuheng happy, he said stupidly: "I'll just say it! Sister Lin is such an innocent and clean daughter, how can she look at the stupidity of those flies and dogs outside!" This man, if he enters the court and does business, it is like falling into a mud pit, no matter how talented he is, he will become turbid and smelly, but what about the daughters of this world? If I have the opportunity to make Sister Lin change her mind than those stupid ones, then I can guard Sister Lin for the rest of her life, so that she will always be clean and refreshing, and it is better than sludge and ditches!" Wang Yurou listened to his words, looking at his expression that was already alive again, both cold, jealous, and helpless. Wang Yurou is such a smart girl, she has long seen that her status in Zhao Yuheng's heart is not even comparable to Lin Xuanchen's little toe. Zhao Yuheng has reached the realm of being happy because of Lin Xuanchen's joy and worrying because of Lin Xuanchen's worries, he is jealous of Lin Xuanchen, and does anything to compete for favor, he can only keep Zhao Yuheng away from him and be hostile to himself, even if he finally obtains the position of the palace with the help of Mrs. Wang, then the light system between her and Zhao Yuheng will also be declared bankrupt, and Zhao Yuheng will even commit suicide or become a monk because of this, and at the very least, he will give himself a terrible ending of being a widow.
After all, Wang Yurou is a person of flesh and blood, not a feudal ritual machine under Mrs. Wang, an intelligent control unit that maintains the operation of the palace. She still longs for Zhao Yuheng very much in her heart, even if it is only a third. She and Lin Xuanchen are the same, they are girls to be married, and they both hope to get a good relationship, instead of being troubled by family trivialities all day long like serfs. She hopes to have a spiritual exchange with Zhao Yuheng, not just a flesh-and-skin exchange like in the small black room.
Wang Yurou thought so, so she put forward an incredible-sounding suggestion: "Then you can find a way to make the old lady change her mind, or let the eldest lady change her mind, and the marriage is yellow, which is a good thing for you and Sister Lin! Moreover, you also have to show your talent in front of Sister Lin, and the kind of refreshing and clean you said, compare that Hou Ye, so that Sister Lin hesitated in her heart, everything is easy to say, although it is said that it is decided, outsiders will look at this matter and even if it is determined, but for people of our status, how can it be so easy to make up your mind! Wang Yurou was pouting here, Zhao Yuheng was really encouraged, and her girl-like slender and weak heart was filled with the light of hope, and even the demon was completely healed.
Wang Yurou was still trying to fight for a chance for the dual future of herself and Lin Xuanchen, and the coming of Wang Shanbao's family over there gave her a slap in the face: "Big girl, fortunately you lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion last night, and you didn't meet it, do you know that your Wuju was a big disaster last night!" Wang Yurou listened, and before she asked, she knew that her residence in the Hundred Gardens was turned upside down by thieves last night, although she also felt heartache, but she was a "master" who only cared about meritocracy and cultivation, and only cared about winning the throne of the palace , who doesn't value yellow and white things at all, she even brought her own body and gave it to her subordinates, Xiao En Xiaohui bought people's hearts, so that the palace thanked her from the bottom up, and said good things for her, forming public opinion pressure to suppress Lin Xuanchen, and when she heard that there was a disaster in her room, she asked very indifferently: "What?" Wang Shanbao's family listened to her dry tone, and naturally knew that this was a master who wanted to be virtuous, wanted fame and not silver, and also understood her temperament, so he didn't make that crying and mourning look, but just talked about the matter: "The whole house has been tossed over, and the girl brought from home is soft and soft, including jewelry and silver, and some agate gems and the like, all of which have been swept away, and the forbidden palace playthings that the old lady has rewarded alone, there are many of them, and they have never been broken, and those thieves also know that they are hot, and they dare not take them out to sell." Wang Yurou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "Those small things are just that, the things that God has rewarded are worth more than the whole house! But then again, I have to thank today, didn't there be an edict a few years ago that the people were not allowed to privately hide forbidden things in the palace? Everything must be proved by a holy decree to prove that it was rewarded......" Speaking of this, the two stopped again, and at the same time remembered the emperor's treasures that Lin Xuanchen had in the room. Wang Yurou thought for a while, and instructed Wang Shanbao's family: "Don't worry about Sister Lin's affairs first, when the rumors of this robbery are over, I will personally go to the old lady to ask slowly, don't be the emperor's reward in the early years, the old lady spoiled Sister Lin, this is harming people rather than loving people! The most annoying thing about the saint today is that the forbidden things in the palace are privately given and accepted!" Wang Shanbao's family listened to it, and knew that this girl was the future master of the palace, so he nodded very obediently and agreed, and after a while, he continued: " The eldest girl didn't know that the second-class maid in the Wuju was insulted by the thief!" This sentence really hit Wang Yurou: "What?" "When she was discovered, she was disheveled...... Still crying...... Full of dead and tired of life. "Then let her out!"
When Wang Yurou finished saying this, she felt as if she had done something wrong, her heart was panicked, and her stomach was empty, but she repeatedly recalled every word and action she had made from last night to now, and she couldn't find any mistakes at all. In the palace, for women who have lost their virginity for any reason, they must be swept out, which is the lightest and most merciful punishment in today's noble circle, because in other palaces, women who have lost their virginity must be immersed in the pig cage!
"The girl is so decisive!" Wang Shanbao's heart saluted convincingly, and he retreated to go to other things, Wang Yurou still felt a little uncomfortable, sullen, and felt like she was stunned.
【Outside】
Long Zhiqiu, the head of the vigil last night, knelt on the ground, listening to Qin Buzhou's scolding, his mouth should be harmonious, but he was very disapproving. He and dozens of men behind him were all fellow villagers of Qin Buzhou, and after listening to Qin Buzhou's lobbying, they threw down a few acres of thin fields at home and ran to the palace to do things, and they were upgraded from commoners to nobles at once.
Long Zhiqiu originally thought that he had fallen into the palace, although he was just a ninth-rate outer doorman, a slave among the slaves, but compared to the family, he could be regarded as a master with a high grade. Relying on his diligence and pragmatism, how can he mix a good errand in the palace. Longzhiqiu not only has a heavy realm, but also especially good at planting crops, can make flowers and plants, is an honest and talented person, with him a group of brothers, also generally have the ability to do farm work, or build walls and bricks, they arrived at the palace, in fact, really plan to be some florists, take care of the garden, mountains and trees or simply be a landlord's thug housekeeper, follow the palace sent out by the people under the jurisdiction of the king to collect rent, weigh rice, but did not expect that these high-level jobs were all taken over by Mrs. Wang's own family, and there was no part of them at all, so they fell into Qin Buzhou's subordinates, the most unavailable, the husband who can be called by anyone to drink the most, and their insiders have also become the subordinates of the vigil and the lights one by one.
Long Zhiqiu is of course angry at this arrangement, and the husband is a very hard job, and Mrs. Wang gives little, and there is no good face on weekdays, before the East China Sea Secret Realm, because of the Zhao "General" who is a master of qi, the husband belongs to the side of the palace guards, and then there is still some status, after the East China Sea Secret Realm is over, Zhao "General" died so that there are no bones, and the escort team is almost finished, and the husbands are even put on a "incompetent/incompetent guard" with Ping Bai 's infamy, almost even people like Aunt Ma can squeeze and support at will, and the anger in the original stomach is about to be unbearable, at this time, after listening to Qin Buzhou's abuse, I can still endure a few words at the beginning, and when I even scolded the eighteenth generation of my ancestors, I simply didn't want to endure it anymore, and directly knelt down and collided:
"Lao Qin! Don't talk about it! This time, our brother is out of the basket, and I don't know why he let people come in from the outside! Don't say that we are still guilty of meritorious service and other false things. I'll just say it bluntly! I can't do this job, and I don't want to do it anymore, and I've spent so many years in the palace, and I'm really wasting my time! It's better to go home and honestly take care of a few acres of thin fields! If I can't get angry, then I can do whatever I have this month, and I'll roll up the covers and leave this afternoon! This is all right, right? In Pershing City, the subordinates have done something wrong, aren't they all driven out of the house? What else do you want? !
