The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

Half a quarter of an hour later, Jing Shu waited in the flower hall for the accountant, Mr. Zhou, followed by several boys, carrying basket after basket of account books.

"Didn't you say it was lost? Found it so quickly?"

She took a look at the account books and said with a half-smile.

Mr. Zhou's mouth twitched.

"The eldest lady is joking. Zhou didn't say that the account books were lost. He only said that some of the account books are old and it takes time to find them. Maybe the maid next to the eldest lady misheard and conveyed the wrong words." He said with a look on his face. Fake smile.

"Wrong message?" Jing Shu looked directly at Liu'er, "Did you hear wrongly? If you make a mistake, you will be punished."

"Miss, I haven't heard this. What Mr. Zhou said is lost!" Liu'er was very smart. When he heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and complained to Jingshu eloquently, "Miss, don't you I know that Mr. Zhou is a distant relative of the cousin’s father. He came to the house to work as an accountant because of his relationship with the cousin. From the slave girl’s perspective, he clearly didn’t want to show the account books to the eldest lady, so he deliberately talked to the eldest lady. The young lady is against me and wants to embarrass the eldest lady!"

Jingshu was very satisfied with Liu'er's words.

"Oh? Is that so, Mr. Zhou?" She glanced at Mr. Zhou and said lightly.

"This... Mr. Zhou is indeed a distant relative of Miss Cousin, but he also has a real ability to settle accounts, which is why he became the accountant of the Governor's Mansion... Mr. Zhou has no intention of deliberately embarrassing the eldest lady!" Mr. Zhou Cold sweat broke out on his forehead for no reason, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Ha." Jing Shu sneered, "Really?"

She glanced at the boy behind Mr. Zhou and pointed him out directly: "Tell me, did your accountant really not deliberately refuse to hand over the account books? If you are willing to tell the truth, this ingot of gold is yours. .”

As soon as Jing Shu finished speaking, Jiang Xue immediately took out a piece of gold with a wink.

When the boy saw the gold, his eyes widened!

He stared straight at the ingot of gold and said without thinking: "Reply to the eldest lady! Mr. Zhou lied! He did it on purpose! Mr. Zhou said that he wanted to show the eldest lady some color and let the eldest lady You know, even if the cousin is kicked out of the mansion, it is still the cousin who has the final say in the Governor's Mansion! He also said that if the eldest lady wants to take charge of the governor's mansion, she must pass him first! "

"You, you dare to slander me!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou immediately grabbed the boy's collar and wanted to beat him.

"I'm not slandering! What I told is the truth!" However, this boy is not easy to bully. He has been working under Mr. Zhou for a long time and has suffered a lot. Now he pushed him away without hesitation. Standing up straight, he looked at Jing Shu and said, "Miss, I dare to swear to God! Everything I said to the eldest lady is the truth! There is not a single lie! If there is any lie! Let me strike with lightning from heaven!" Don’t die a good death!”

Mr. Zhou's lips trembled with anger.

Jing Shu smiled.

"Okay, I believe you, Axue. Give him that ingot of gold."

"Yes."

Jingshu does what he says.

Jiang Xue threw the piece of gold into the boy's arms.

"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!" The young man just told a few truths and got such a piece of gold. He was so happy that he kept kowtowing in thanks.

"Get up. From now on, you can work in my courtyard." Jing Shu smiled at him.

The boy suddenly became even happier.

After kowtowing several times and thanking him profusely, Jiang Xue forcibly pulled him up.

"Xiaojiu, go and guard the door of the house now. When Butler Xu comes back, ask him to come see me." Jing Shu ordered the young man again.

She had already learned from the boy's mouth that his name was Zhang Jiu.

Zhang Jiu quickly agreed, took the gold and ran away quickly.

"As for you."

Only then did Jing Shu turn her eyes to Mr. Zhou, who was standing aside with an ugly face. She raised her lips and ordered directly to the two guards she had brought over, "Beat me until he is willing to tell the truth about all these years." No matter how many false accounts Wen Ran asked him to make."

When Mr. Zhou heard this, his expression changed again.

While hiding back, he said with a look of horror and annoyance: "You, you can't hit me! Why do you hit me! I want to see the Governor! You are bullying others with your power!"

However, after shouting a few words, he was held down by two tall guards, pushed directly to the ground and beaten.

These two guards were specially arranged by Yingtian for Jingshu. They were not ordinary guards, but specially selected by him from the Ying family's army. They were extremely skilled.

In just a few moments, Mr. Zhou was beaten until he screamed and begged for mercy. In a few words, he explained everything.

When Jing Shu heard that there were many good deeds done by Butler Xu and Wen Ran together, she was not surprised at all.

"Tie him up, throw him into the woodshed and lock him up. He is not allowed to be treated for his injuries. He is only given one meal and a bowl of water a day, and I will wait for my lady to do it later." Jing Shu pointed at Zhou. Sir, he ordered again.

"Yes, Miss." Upon hearing this, the guard picked up Mr. Zhou and left.

Mr. Zhou almost walked on the front foot.

Later, Butler Xu, who had previously claimed to be ordered by Ying Tian to do some work, also arrived.

"Miss, do you have anything important to do with me? If not, I still have things to do as ordered by the Governor, so I will leave first." Butler Xu looked at Jingshu politely. He looked very respectful and had a smile on his face.

"Butler Xu, there is no need to rush to do things." However, Jing Shu's next words made him change his face severely, "I called you here to tell you that you have been dismissed and will no longer be the Governor of the Palace. 's butler."

Butler Xu's expression suddenly turned cold.

I just asked her why...

Just listen to Jing Shu continue to say: "Also, I will report it to the official immediately. The reason is that you have collaborated with Wen Ran to steal the property of the Governor's Mansion for several consecutive years and converted it into silver, totaling two hundred and seven thousand six hundred and eighty." Thirteen taels.”

Hearing the precise amount of silver mentioned by Jing Shu, Butler Xu felt horrified. Cold sweat on his forehead almost immediately dripped from the top of his eyes, causing him to blink subconsciously.

"Miss, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand this?"

A smile appeared on his lean face very stiffly, "Why did you join forces with your cousin to steal the property of the house? There is still so much money... I really don't know why the eldest lady wants to wrongly accuse me! Miss, even if you want to take advantage of it, After Miss Zhu Biao leaves the house and establishes her authority in the house, she shouldn't take advantage of the old slave, right? The old slave was already working as a housekeeper in the house before the Governor was born."

"So, what you are saying is that since you have a higher qualification in the Governor's Mansion than my father, you can steal the property of the Governor's Mansion as you please?" Jing Shu asked directly and sarcastically.

"That's not what I mean!" Butler Xu's eyes panicked, and then he tried to hold his own. "What I mean is that I have been working for the Governor's Mansion all my life, and there is no way I can do those sneaky things!"

"If my father were here, he might have listened to your words and believed it. It's a pity that I'm not my father. My heart is much colder than his. To me, your words are all nonsense. I'm not as honest as you. Good explanation."

Jing Shu looked at him with an indifferent expression, "You are old, I will not order you to be beaten like I did to Mr. Zhou in the accounting department, but I have many ways to torture an older person like you. "

With that said, she directly ordered Jiang Xue, "Take Butler Xu down and interrogate him in front of Mr. Zhou until he is willing to say what I want to hear."

When Jiang Xue heard this, her eyes lit up: "Miss, don't worry, I'll go right away!"
