After attending the banquet in King An's mansion, Liu Xinning, who returned to the mansion, continued to start her life of lying flat with clothes and food.

Every day, in addition to entering the palace as in the past to brush up on favorability in front of the emperor and the queen mother, it is all kinds of information collected before nesting in the courtyard to sort out.

Her head never stopped turning, and the people who went back and forth in her yard to tell her about things never stopped flowing.

On the morning of the fourth day of junior high school, Light Smoke invited Liu Xinning to the small study and began to relay it to the account book on the desk.

"So there are more than 20,000 taels of silver missing from the account books of this year??? And so on......"

Liu Xinning sneered.

The original owner is not the same as those ladies of the family who wait for their parents to give dowry.

When she was born, she received all kinds of rewards, including gold and silver jewelry, and the Zhuangzi of the farm.

When she was three years old, she was awarded the title of Zhaoyang County Lord, and she had the fertile fief of Zhaoyang County.

Although these properties are all collected by the eldest princess, they are all in her name and have separate account books.

Although her eldest princess is not smart, the stewards assigned to her are carefully selected by the Queen Mother.

Therefore, the property in her name is already a lot of money under the investment and reinvestment of those stewards.

If you say how much industry she has, Liu Xinning doesn't know, she only knows, a lot, a lot!

The account books she checked this time were less than 20,000 taels this year. So, what about the past?

"Yes. The books of account that were brought were from the two years. My grandfather said that judging from this account alone, this year it was less than 20,000 taels. Last year, it was about the same number. Light smoke replied respectfully with bated breath.

"I see, you go down first." Liu Xinning sat at the desk and pondered.

On that day, in order not to alarm too many people, Liu Xinning asked Chun Nuan to make money and quietly stole the account book from the account room.

Since it was secret, naturally I didn't dare to take too much, and I only took it for the past two years.

However, if you look at the leopard in the tube, there must be a lot of people who are greedy for ink.

"Aunt Chunnuan, go see if that person is there? If so, quietly take it to the upside-down room. ”

Liu Xinning, who was contemplative, walked out of the study and instructed Chun Nuan who was standing at the door.

"Yes." Chun Nuan walked out quickly. She didn't let the little girl pass the word, but went to the front yard herself.

Looking at the back of Chun Nuan leaving, Liu Xinning pondered and walked towards the courtyard.

That day, after the guard who called Xiao Muze came to pay a complaint, she asked Chun Nuan to go to Lin Shuangmu, the leader of the guards, to inquire.

Xiao Muze, seventeen years old, a native of Longyang County in the north, should be guided by the road and have complete household registration.

On September 20 of the 17th year of Yu Qingping, he went to Baihua Courtyard as a guard because of the recommendation of the guards who returned to his hometown from the Baihua Courtyard.

Because of the thief entering the courtyard on the third day of the first month of October, he was extremely brave, and Lin Shuangmu was pleased and brought into the eldest princess's mansion on duty.

However, because of Xiao Muze's identity as a five-year living contract, he only patrols the periphery, occasionally runs errands, and does some unimportant things.

Therefore, he is bold and careful, and his martial arts are strong, and he has no intersection with the people in the house. If people were more reliable, they would be useful.

Therefore, Liu Xinning, who listened to the report that day, tentatively gave Xiao Muze a few small tasks to investigate irrelevant news.

And Xiao Muze has done it very well, and the confidentiality is very strong.

This made Liu Xinning more and more satisfied!

She is just a boudoir woman, and she has no intention of turning the world upside down outside, everything she does is to be able to lie down completely.

Therefore, it is good that the person who uses it is competent and loyal.

And this Xiao Muze ......

This is what he took the initiative to bring up, and there is something suspicious about the death of the steward.

If you bring it up yourself, it means that you want to be reused.

By the time Xiao Muze followed Chun Nuan to the inverted seat room of Shuyi Garden, Liu Xinning was already sitting in the first place and waiting.

"Say it." Liu Xinning was concise and to the point.

Xiao Muze didn't drag his feet, and said something about Liu Xinning's new arrangement for him to investigate the steward.

That little steward came out of Liufu, and was stuffed by Liu Tingfeng into the outer court steward who was in charge of the income of Zhaoyang County, Liu Xinning's fiefdom.

In order to make the little steward loyal, Liu Tingfeng put the steward's daughter next to Liu Xinning and became a delicate and expensive girl.

This is obvious, one is to appease, and the other is to be a hostage.

Now, it is obvious why this family was burned to death.

It's nothing more than killing people!

Liu Xinning thought of the accounts that had been cleared today, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Oh, what a rat."

Liu Tingfeng's soft rice is really not hard! In particular, Liu Tingfeng actually kills people and kills people?

It seems that she doesn't know enough about this father!

"If the news of these things you helped me check leaked, I'm afraid that my father won't be able to spare you. I'm dragging you down. ”

Liu Xinning picked up the teacup but didn't drink it, but lowered her head and said to Xiao Muze.

"The subordinates are the guards of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and they should be loyal to the Eldest Princess's Mansion. Now it is an honor for his subordinates to get the blue eyes of the county lord. ”

Xiao Muze hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"So...... Aunt Chun Nuan, you can first take a hundred taels of silver tickets and reward Xiao Guard. Liu Xinning first instructed Chun Nuan.

"Thank you, Lord Shire." Xiao Muze hurriedly thanked him. Although he was grateful, he did not lose his temper and looked very calm.

"Xiao Muze," Liu Xinning put down the teacup, and suddenly called out Xiao Muze's name very formally, which made him a little stunned.

"The subordinates are here."

"What do you want?"

？？？？？？

Xiao Muze had a question mark on his face, he didn't understand what Liu Xinning meant by this.

"You see, everyone has something to ask for. Some people seek to settle down, some people seek glory and wealth, and some people seek to hold power...... Even those who don't have a free body have something to ask for. There are those who want to get rid of their nationality, those who want to be decent, and those who want money...... So, what about you, what do you want? Liu Xinning asked solemnly.

Light Smoke's grandfather is willing to help her check the accounts wholeheartedly because he has something to ask.

The Danyan family is all the slaves of the eldest princess, and they are still official slaves. And the official slave can only be released after three generations, and it must be in the case of amnesty.

The eldest nephew of the eldest brother of the light smoke family is the fourth generation, and he already has the possibility of leaving his nationality and becoming a good citizen.

Before, Light Smoke was just a rough maid who served in Shuyi Garden, but now she has become the personal maid of the county lord.

There was no chance before, they couldn't help it. Now that there is a possibility, they naturally have to seize it fiercely.

So, that's what the light smoke family wants!

Chun Nuan has something to ask for, she wants to save her life and live safely.

Qing Chu has a request, she wants to be able to let go of the body deed, be a free body, and marry a lover.

Langyue and Qiu Si have something to want, they want to get ahead, they want to be decent, and they want to follow her, the lord of Zhaoyang, all the time, and enjoy the honor.

Only when you ask for something will you be faithful.

So, what about Xiao Muze in front of him?

He was an orphan, but now he is alone. Now he has only signed a five-year living deed, and he has not sold himself to the eldest princess's mansion.

What is he asking for?
