The anger on the Empress Dowager's face disappeared.

She looked at Mu Siyu indifferently: "Golden body?"

"Yes."

"Can the Ministry of Accounts pour so much money?"

Who doesn't want to make a big deal of what she likes, but the money in the treasury is not something she can use as she wants, and it would be a hundred things she would not like to ask her to take out the money in private.

"The household department must be..." Mu Siyu said, "but the Queen Mother, the minister's wife is willing to give this money."

"Oh? This is not a small amount." The Queen Mother looked at Mu Siyu with a half-smile, "Madam Lu is bleeding so much, Aijia feels a little sorry."

"The Queen Mother is the mother of the world, and your servants are also your subjects, so you should do everything for you." Mu Siyu said, "If the Queen Mother really feels sorry, why not reward the servants with a plaque that says ——House of Benevolence, okay?"

When the time comes to put this plaque in the resort, it will also be a scenic spot, and it may become a tourist attraction.

After all, in this era, most people have an instinctive fear and respect for imperial power.If anyone's family has a reward, even generations of ancestors will follow it.

"You are indeed a businessman." The Queen Mother said, "Then Aijia will fulfill you."

This is how the story of the fire in the Buddhist hall ended.

Such an understatement ended, not to mention the people kneeling there trembling in the House of Internal Affairs who didn't believe it, even Yang Nai, who was with the Queen Mother, thought it was like a dream.

After leaving the empress dowager's main hall, Mu Siyu arranged for the servants of the House of Internal Affairs to continue working.

"Throw out all the burnt things. The things we prepared before are useless. Now we have to clean up the courtyard at the back, so the original design has to be replaced." Mu Siyu said, "You follow my plan first. Ask for materials. If you don’t have enough money, just find my maid. In addition, if this matter is done well, each of you will be rewarded heavily.”

"Madam Lu, we are all palace servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the palace will give us monthly silver." An eunuch said shyly.

"What was sent by the palace was sent by the palace, and what I gave separately was given by me alone. Don't worry, if you don't talk about this matter, I won't talk about it. No one will know. This matter is very tricky. In addition, you have been trembling with me for a long time, so I can't let you do it in vain. So far, no one who has followed me has not given a reward, just rest assured!"

In this palace, everyone has eighteen minds.Look at the honest faces of these people, no one knows what kind of people are hidden under those ordinary faces.

However, no matter what kind of people they are, as long as they have weaknesses, they can be used by themselves.And what she can use is not only the status of Mrs. Qing of Dali Temple, but also the golden finger of God of Wealth.

Who doesn't like the God of Wealth?

She liked it anyway.

"Ma'am, look..." Chan Yi handed a lamp to Mu Siyu, "I found it inside. Who will light the lamp in broad daylight?"

"Who was in there just now?" Mu Siyu asked.

"The servants' attention is all on Madam. Apart from paying attention to Madam, they really don't pay attention to who enters the Buddhist hall."

After all, there is chaos here, with so many palace people coming in and out, how could it be possible to pay attention to so many people?

"Someone set fire on purpose, presumably because they wanted to see us being angered by the queen mother." Mu Siyu said, "Chanyi, you have a delicate mind. During this time, you will monitor the people around me. Shang Zhi, you stay by my side to protect us." Me. This way of division of labor and cooperation, you will not be all focused on me, but the bad guys will take advantage of the loopholes."

"Yes."

Xiao'e ran in from the outside.

"Ma'am, the courtyard next door cannot be moved."

"Why?" Mu Siyu asked.

"The courtyard next door is haunted by ghosts." Xiao'e said, "I can always hear crying in the dead of night. It is from the desolate courtyard next door. It is said that it has been 22 years."

"Have you heard?"

"I heard." Xiao'e nodded.

"If it's really haunted, she didn't stop me when I explained to the Queen Mother that I opened up the barren courtyard next door." Mu Siyu said, "It means that the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, not ghosts."

"Madam..." Xiao'e said, "The Empress Dowager is really not afraid of this ghost, but ordinary palace people like us are afraid!"

Mu Siyu looked at the palace staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

They all looked hesitant to speak, and they must have dared not touch the side courtyard next door.

However, she has already spoken out, if she repents at this time, the queen mother will not be able to explain it.

"If there are ghosts, can you live? Besides, even if they are ghosts, they must be little ghosts who can't make big waves. Otherwise, after so many years, why can you only cry, but don't see its shadow at all? I I don’t believe there are ghosts in this world, it’s not so much a ghost, it’s more like an echo of certain layouts in the courtyard next door. How about this, I’ll take you to see it.”

"We're not going."

"Whoever is willing to come with me, five taels of silver per person."

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

No, immediately the first palace official stepped forward.

"If you die, just die. I just hope that after I die, Madam can keep her promise and send the money to my little sister. She married a man who is nothing, and she only beats and scolds her all day long."

"Don't worry, you won't die, but I will give you money. Is there another one? If not, I will take Tang Fu to see it first."

"I'm willing to go. As Tang Fu said, die as long as you die, as long as you send the money to my old mother. Back then, my family was poor, and I became a eunuch without telling her. She almost hanged herself when she found out. I cried and begged She survived. I'm an unfilial son, I'm sorry for her. But I'm weak, and I can't lift my hands on my shoulders. At that time, I had no other way except to be a eunuch."

Mu Siyu listened to the tragic life experiences of each of them, and saw that they seemed to be saying their last words. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be moved or dumbfounded.

"Okay, let's go!" Mu Siyu said, "If you are really captured by a ghost today, I will give your family ten times the money."

Encouraged by Mu Siyu's generous reward, the group followed to the side courtyard next door.

"This place...is so big!"

"I heard that this place used to be the palace of a beloved concubine."

"What kind of concubine is she actually next to the queen mother?"

"Aren't you afraid of ghosts now?" Mu Siyu said to the palace servants behind him while observing the surrounding terrain, "Don't worry, you are so cowardly, if there were really ghosts, I would have taken you away just now."

"Ma'am, it really doesn't look like there is a ghost here." Tang Fu said, "Then why do you think you can hear crying?"

"Is it possible..." Mu Siyu said, "There has been no one living here for a long time, and some court ladies who have been wronged like to come here to cry secretly?"

"The queen mother's palace is next to the back, shouldn't it be?" Chan Yi said, "Maybe it's the wind! If there is wind in such a long corridor, the echo will sound like crying."
