Chapter 539: Someone is going to be unlucky
The cup that Jiang Wanxiu showed Rong Lanpei that day was this kind of defective product.
At that time, Rong Lanpei didn't see the problem, Jiang Wanxiu knew that Shang Cisi probably couldn't find the problem.
In addition to being greedy, Rong Lanpei still has eyesight, otherwise how could he sit in the position of the head of the palace and grasp so many important yamen.
It's just that she was eye-catching this time.
Jiang Wanxiu tapped her index finger lightly, "The Jin family has already arranged it, but there is no suitable candidate for the vacant position of the palace." ”
"There are so many families who are good friends with the Jiang family, can't Miss find someone she trusts?" Xi Ling asked curiously.
Jiang Wanxiu shook her head, "That's not it, the queen hasn't broken her muscles and bones, no matter who sits in the palace at this time, she will face the queen's revenge, if she is not capable, she may be planted in the hands of the queen, this position is a blessing or a curse." It's just that I don't occupy this position, if I am robbed by the queen, it will really be a waste of such a good opportunity, I will think about it again......"
……
Therefore, the case occurred in Huangting, so the Prudent Criminal Division was the main one, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department each sent an official to try it together.
On the same day, the Shen Penal Division arrested the owner of the Kim firm who provided porcelain.
The boss's name was Di Hongjun, but he cooperated, and he didn't resist, he knelt in the torture hall without saying a word, looking honest.
"Thou hast deceived the Holy One with thy shoddy, and thou hast sinned heinously, and thou hast not confessed thy sins!" The master of the criminal department made a loud voice in advance, and put all the pots on Di Hongjun's head at once.
Di Hongjun hurriedly shouted, "The villain is wronged!" The villain is really wronged! ”
"What do you have to blame? Didn't you sell those porcelain to Huang Ting? "The head of the criminal department is aggressive.
Di Hongjun said with a bitter face, "That porcelain is indeed a villain, but the villain is not shoddy......"
"You still want to quibble! Our inferior porcelain, we have checked it one by one, all of them are inferior, just this kind of goods, and you still want to use it for the emperor? You're damned! The head of the criminal department said angrily.
The head of the Shen Criminal Division said with a smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, always give the prisoner a chance to speak, Di Hongjun, you still don't tell you honestly, what is going on with this batch of porcelain." ”
"That's the case, my lord, the villain originally opened a gambling house, and then he saved some money and went to the East China Sea to run goods, and then ......," Di Hongjun said honestly.
The head of the criminal department said impatiently: "Whoever wants to know what you did before, you will talk about the key points, how did you use shoddy porcelain to hide from the adults of the Huang Court." ”
"My lord, you can't admit what you say, when did I hide it from the adults of the Huang Ting, the villain is halfway to the porcelain business, and he also knows his own porcelain, isn't this the Huang Ting's purchase? The villain had the mentality of giving it a try and gave Mrs. Zipingbo a gift. Di Hongjun hurriedly said.
The boss frowned, "Are you admitting that you paid a bribe?" ”
"Then what is a bribe, the villain wants to know his own porcelain, can meet the requirements of the purchase, if it really does not meet, I will not go to the Shang Porcelain Division to join in the fun, lest I not be selected, shame, the villain just thinks so, only to see Mrs. Zi Pingbo first, but the villain and Mrs. Zi Pingbo are not relatives, why do people see me, a little common man, so the villain gave a meeting gift."
Di Hongjun smiled, "It's not strange to have many people, and sure enough, I met Mrs. Zipingbo, and Mrs. Ziping praised my porcelain, and then she chose me, bought my porcelain, gave me 500,000 taels of silver, and prepared a batch of ......."
The head of the criminal department said again: "What nonsense are you talking about, the Huang Ting's allocation is obviously two million taels. ”
"The villain has an account book here, it is indeed 500,000 taels, originally the villain felt that his porcelain was relatively poor, and it should not meet the requirements of the emperor. But when he saw 500,000 taels of silver, the villain understood, it turned out that it was because of the lack of money, so the requirements were low...... The villain thought to himself, Your Majesty is really benevolent, you live frugally, you don't even need high-quality porcelain, Your Majesty is sorry for our people......"
Di Hongjun wiped his tears and cried on the spot.
The official sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate almost laughed, and the head of the Criminal Department had only one feeling in his heart, it was over, Mrs. Rong really couldn't keep it.
Even the pen officer who was recording the testimony next to him shook his hand and almost made a mistake.
"Okay, don't cry yet, you mean to say that your Jin family firm doesn't know that your own porcelain can't meet the purchase standards, but you just prepare porcelain according to the requirements of Rongzhang Palace, right?" The head of the Criminal Division said.
Di Hongjun immediately slapped a sycophant on the back, and said confidently: "My lord Shengming! You are really discerning and judgmental like a god! We were meant to sell inferior porcelain! The villain never said that the porcelain for his own house is superior, and please give the villain a fair time! ”
Obviously, two million taels of silver were allocated, but only 500,000 were left, and someone was going to be unlucky.
"Someone, please ask the head of the Rong Palace Monk Porcelain Division to come over for questioning."
……
The Rong Lanpei case caused a stir.
Although the verdict has not yet come down, it is clear to everyone that Rong Lanpei is finished.
The box of jewelry was also searched, and Di Hongjun didn't admit that he gave it, but only said that he gave a small gift.
Because Cheng'anbo Mansion does have a lot of such "gifts" of unknown origin, it is not suspicious.
Before this matter came to an end, something happened to the Marquis of Boyuan's Mansion again.
"Concubine?" Jiang Wanxiu looked surprised.
Lin Ze nodded, "News from the Hou Mansion, the eldest lady has such a plan. ”
"It seems that tonight, my mother-in-law specially asked us to go back to dinner, just for this matter." Jiang Wanxiu reacted.
Since marrying Song Yuanxi, Jiang Wanxiu thought that there would be such a day.
It's just a matter of time or time.
"Madam, I don't take concubines." Song Yuanxi stretched out his hand to hold her Rouyi, but her cold voice revealed a hint of tenderness.
Jiang Wanxiu's eyes were shining, with a little domineering and coquettish, "You dare to take a concubine, I will break your legs, hum!" ”
"Good, good, for the sake of my legs, I refuse." Song Yuanxi's narrow eyes were shining with a hint of doting, coaxing a child's tone.
Jiang Wanxiu couldn't help but sneer, the favor he gave her filled her whole heart.
Let her heart no longer have the slightest place for others.
Jiang Wanxiu threw herself forward, landed firmly in his arms, and stretched out her hand to hug him, my family is my family.
"Madam, is your action of a hungry tiger trying to eat me?" Song Yuanxi hugged the villain in his arms, and his thin lips were slightly raised.
Jiang Wanxiu's chin rested on his shoulder blades, tilted his head slightly, and his cherry lips were attached to the person's earlobe, and the warm breath was intoxicating.
"It's just eating you, what's the matter?"
"I can't ask for it." Song Yuan Xi Mo's pupils were even deeper, and he took the initiative to untie his belt, and looked at her with a smile, "Take off your clothes first, so you can eat." ”
Lin Ze next to him instantly closed his eyes, turned around, trotted out, and closed the door with his hand.
"Commander Lin is good." Xi Ling was about to go in with the tea, and saw Lin Ze come out and salute.
Lin Ze said with a cold face, "It's inconvenient for the prince and the princess to disturb. ”
"Oh." Xiling instantly understood, chuckled and returned with a teacup.
Jiang Wanxiu in the room didn't expect that she was just laughing at people's words, why did he ......
"We're going to the Hou Mansion for dinner......" Jiang Wanxiu felt the desire in someone's eyes, and hurriedly covered her chest with her hands, looking at him nervously.
Song Yuan raised his eyebrows lightly, his eyes were dangerous, "I'm afraid I won't be able to feed you?" Still thinking about eating? ”
"No...... refuses to take a concubine, and there are still some things to prepare. Jiang Wanxiu's watery eyes blinked, afraid that Song Yuanxi would misunderstand and doubt his ability, so he hurriedly patted his chest and said seriously: "Feed well, support it!" So what, can I save it for next time? ”
Song Yuanxi's gaze fell on her chest, and she bowed slightly, "What Madam said is very reasonable." ”
Jiang Wanxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
……
It was getting dark, and Lin Ze saw that the prince had not come out yet, so he silently went to the Boyuan Marquis Mansion to inform him.
The prince and his wife are busy with official business, so they can't come over for dinner today.
Ye Yanzhi was not angry, but just asked them to come back to dinner tomorrow night.
At three o'clock in the morning, Jiang Wanxiu got up from the bed, and the person next to her was in high spirits and flipped through a book, slightly lowering his eyebrows, beautiful as a picture.
Jiang Wanxiu thought that she had released her mother-in-law's pigeons, and her mood was suddenly extremely melancholy.
She wanted to come last night, but someone wouldn't let her.
"Shizi, we didn't go to the family banquet last night, it's too inappropriate." Jiang Wanxiu got up lazily and glared at him with three points of coquettishness.
Song Yuanxi's thin lips were slightly raised, and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you tempting me to continue to commit crimes?" ”
"Not really!" Jiang Wanxiu hurriedly jumped out of bed, as if the little white rabbit was frightened, but Song Yuanxi couldn't help laughing.
Xi Ling walked in with a basin and said, "Miss, yesterday Commander Lin went to the Hou Mansion to take leave, saying that you are busy with official business and cannot be free. Madame invites you to come back to dinner today. ”
"It's a must." Jiang Wanxiu looked at Song Yuanxi and said: "I have thought about it, if you refuse to take a concubine, it is best that everyone in the Boyuan Marquis Mansion disagrees except for your mother-in-law, otherwise your mother-in-law will let you take a concubine, after all, it is a matter of righteousness, even if we refuse, it will not be good to make a fuss." ”
Song Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Are you serious?" ”
As far as the relationship between the big house and the second room is like fire and water, the second room must be willing to have one more person to provoke their relationship.
"Qianqian and Zhang Yijie, you can do it. Mei Lanxin handed it to me. Jiang Wanxiu divided the task, squinted and smiled, "Is it okay?" ”
Song Yuanxi put down the scroll in his hand, and his eyes fell on her face, "Shallow and Zhang Yijie are both simple, but Mei Lanxin? ”
"Don't worry, there are no eternal enemies in this world, as long as there are enough benefits." Jiang Wanxiu had a plan in her heart, and said with a smile.
Song Yuanxi saw her sly smile, and also thought of something, and bowed slightly, "Okay." ”
The couple went their separate ways.
Song Yuanxi directly found Song Qianqian and Zhang Yijie, as the son of the Marquis of Boyuan, he was the little overlord Zhang Yijie, and he immediately went to invite him.
"If my mother proposes to take a concubine for me, you will object." Song Yuanxi's handsome face was cold, and he didn't look like he was looking for help at all.
But that's his character.
"Okay!" Song Qianqian agreed without saying a word.
She didn't ask why, anyway, whatever her brother said was good, good.
Song Yuanxi looked at Song Qian's shallow eyes softened, and handed her a silver ticket with a larger denomination from his arms, "Pocket money." ”
"Hey, hey." Song Qianqian smirked and accepted it, the daughter of the Marquis of Boyuan Mansion is not something that can be bought with a silver ticket, but it is different if the person who gave the silver ticket is his brother.
A smile from my brother can be bought!
Zhang Yijie was a little envious of their brother and sister relationship, but he would not admit this to death, don't look arrogant and say, "Don't think that I can buy it with a silver ticket." ”
"I'm not going to give you a silver ticket." Song Yuanxi said lightly.
Zhang Yijie's face stiffened, am I being amorous?
"If you support me in taking a concubine, I will suggest that Yu Ling is good." Song Yuan Xiyun said lightly.
