The strange thing is that each ingot of gold and silver is engraved with the word "Imperial Gift", as if there is a person who is afraid that the government will not know that this is the silver from the palace.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household jointly produced gold and silver for Emperor Kangxi to reward ministers and princes.

It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to get the "royal gift" of gold and silver!

"Master, whose gold and silver belong to you?"

Bai Luomei was surprised, how did so much gold and silver quietly enter the Bai family?

Didn't anyone find out?

It's weird.

The fourth master raised his eyebrows, grabbed the gold and silver in his hand, and responded in a deep voice, "In the capital, many ministers have been rewarded by the emperor, and even the palace also has gold and silver with the word 'imperial gift'. ”

"But it's rare to see such a large number."

"All the gold and silver from the Internal Affairs Office can be traced, I have arranged for the wind and the old thirteen to go to the Internal Affairs Office to investigate, no accident, it should be able to be found."

"Then my father's suspicion can be lifted?" Bai Luomei was pleasantly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the fourth master's face was still gloomy.

If it were that simple, he wouldn't have to be sorrowful.

This matter is serious, and who wants to frame Bai Mingrui's father and son has not yet been found.

Not much.

Hongyu entered with a smile, and bowed respectfully to the fourth master, "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, I hope you can go, and you have something to discuss with you." ”

At this time, what is the excitement of the concubine?

Just wondering, the golden branch suddenly came.

The same is also to invite the fourth master.

Bai Luomei listened to the words of the two, confused, and puzzled.

In the past two days, Fujin and Nian Concubine have been divided a lot, and there is no abnormality.

Even if the fourth master returned, the two of them never asked, why did they suddenly send someone here?

"Okay, you two go back, and the master will come."

The fourth master's face did not change, and he spoke lightly.

Hearing this, the two slowly retreated without thinking.

"Master, what's wrong with Concubine Nian and Fu Jin today, why did they all come to invite you?"

"Could it be that you're snubbing them again these days?"

"I told you, I want the rain and dew to be even, otherwise they will find my fault again!"

Bai Luomei pursed her lips, her heart sour.

As the fourth master, she knew that such a thing was inevitable, but she was still unhappy in her heart.

Seeing that she was displeased, the fourth master inadvertently showed joy on his face, "You don't want me to go to their courtyard?" ”

"What if you don't want to, there are so many women around you, I just don't want to, and I can't stop it, right?"

"Okay, okay, you have to hurry, don't delay the investigation!"

Bai Luomei muttered, walked out of the study angrily, and returned to Yuebaiju.

That's right.

The thirteenth master and the wind rushed back.

Seeing the fourth master smiling, the two looked at each other in unison.

The sun is coming out in the west today?

Why is the fourth master so happy?

The thirteenth master smiled, "Fourth brother, there is a commotion outside, the government and the opposition are all watching, and Huang Ama is even more anxious, looking forward to the prince's case being ended as soon as possible, how can you still laugh?" ”

"But what clues have you found, you already have a clue?"

!

His joy comes from Bai Luomei.

Bai Luomei's attitude once again made him firm, and Bai Luomei's heart for him was irreplaceable.

The fourth master put away his smile in an instant, and swept towards him with a cold face, "Bai Mingrui is just the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he has never been attached to others over the years, and he has worked for the imperial court in his own business, although he has not been able to be promoted through the assessment, but what he has done in office is remarkable." ”

"Now, he is caught in the prince's case, with letters, gold and silver as evidence, Cai Yong spares no effort and is bent on pulling him into the water, which is already abnormal."

"Old Thirteen, what abnormalities can you find in the Internal Affairs Office?"

After the words fell, the thirteenth master took out an account book from his sleeve and put it in front of him.

"Fourth brother, take a look at this account book, just half a year ago, when Huang Ama Weifu paid a private visit, the prince was in charge of the country, and the prince had withdrawn 100,000 taels of silver from the Internal Affairs Office, and it was written on the account that it was used to repair the imperial garden, but I checked it and there was no such item."

"It also means that this silver was privately swallowed by the crown prince, and the strange thing is that our people checked the entire East Palace, but they couldn't find this silver."

100,000 taels of gold and silver, gone?

After half a year, why didn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs report it?

The fourth master was wondering, and Hongyu came to urge again.

In the face of Hongyu's repeated urging, the Thirteenth Master subconsciously scolded Hongyu and ordered Hongyu to go back and wait for his life.

"Fourth brother, you maid in the house is really unruly!"

"Today, I've seen her and Concubine Nian wandering out many times, going to the White Mansion and going to the Starling Mansion, and I don't know what they want to do!"

"Knowing that you have a tense relationship with starlings, they still do this, isn't this an intentional obstruction for you?"

This year, the side concubine is too unruly!

The fourth master was slightly stunned, and his black pupils suddenly constricted, "Old Thirteen, you have a good relationship with the prince, and go ask him and try to investigate the whereabouts of the 100,000 taels of gold and silver!" ”

As he spoke, the fourth master suddenly got up and walked out quickly.

The thirteenth master was about to say something, but when he saw that the fourth master was in a hurry, he shook his head helplessly.

"Hurricane, has something happened to your master recently?"

Storm stretched out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "There are so many Gege in the house, the master has taken great pains to ease the relationship between them and keep Bai Gege, this time the prince's case involves the Bai family again, and the master is afraid that in order not to make Bai Gege sad, he wants to end the case as soon as possible." ”

"As for why the master's reaction is so big, maybe the concubine is restless again!"

's words aroused the vigilance of the thirteenth master.

During this time, the Nian Concubine and the Eighth Master secretly corresponded, and his people found out many times that the Nian Concubine was in and out of the Eighth Master's Mansion, and he originally thought that it was a mutual exchange between women, but he didn't take it seriously.

But now that he heard the words of the wind, he had to take this matter to heart.

At that moment, the thirteenth master walked out quickly.

The wind froze in place, confused, and scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"What's the matter, did I say the wrong thing?"

"Thirteenth master, the master told his subordinates to investigate the case with you, and you and other subordinates ......"

Meanwhile.

Inside the Tinglan Courtyard.

Concubine Nian was ordering her subordinates to busily decorate the room, stroking the wine jug, her eyebrows and eyes were half condensed, "Take the wine jug down immediately and burn it again!" It's cold, how can you give this cold wine to your grandfather? ”

The servant hurriedly withdrew with the wine jug.

"Master, the master is here."

Hongyu happily ran in and reported to the concubine.

As soon as she heard this, Concubine Nian looked at herself in the mirror with a smile, sorted out her makeup, and instructed Hongyu to tidy up her clothes for her, and greeted her with a smile.

I saw the fourth master skip her with a cold face and go straight to the room.

Before Concubine Nian could say what she had been preparing for a long time, she saw that the fourth master had a displeased face, and couldn't help but be puzzled, and deliberately glanced at Hongyu.

Hongyu subconsciously buried her head in her chest, and she didn't dare to come out.

"Come in!"

With the indifferent voice of the fourth master in the room, the young concubine entered nervously.

"Grandpa......"

"Say! Who asked you to frame the Bai family? ”
