The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

"Why don't you come over and support me! Didn't you see that Grandpa's legs and feet are bad?"

There was a voice reprimanding someone outside the door, who else could it be if it wasn't Liao Bing?

Falling into Liao Bing's hands, he would lose half his life if he didn't die. Yao Xi quickly rolled over from the bed, rushed to the window with his shoes in his arms, took down the chipped porcelain vase, gently pushed the window open, and put the shoes in his arms I threw one out of the window and put the other in my arms.Immediately afterwards, he limped back to the bed, blew out the oil lamp, moved the pedals and hid under the bed, and gently dragged the pedals back to their original positions to block the bed.

When dragging the pedals, the wooden boards and the stone ground creaked. At this time, the door lock had been unlocked, and Liao Bing and his team were pushing it open. The sound of the chairs being pushed behind the door perfectly covered the pedals. The sound of rubbing against the ground.

Driven by the desire to survive, this long series of actions was completed in one go.

Yao Xi held his breath and hid under the bed, covering his nose with his cuff.There was a lot of dust under the bed, and she was afraid of being choked and coughed.

The oil lamp was lit again, and Liao Bing's voice was on the side.

"Damn it, run away for that kid!" Liao Bing entered the room and saw that there was no one on the bed, the shoes in front of the bed were gone, and the window was wide open again, so he guessed that Yao Xi had jumped through the window and escaped when he heard the noise.Liao Bing went to the bed and touched the mattress, it was still warm, Yao Xi must have just left.

Liao Bing limped to the window and looked out. There was a small shoe lying on the grass.Except for Yao Xi, that little bitch in the Siyuan Bureau, no one's shoes are so small, they must have dropped them accidentally while fleeing in a hurry.

"His leg was injured and he can't run very far. You guys have to chase him out. I have to catch him before dawn. I'll just wait here. That kid might come back again." Liao Bing couldn't do anything because of a broken leg. He went to chase after him, so he sat on the chair blocking the door in Yao Xi's room and ordered the people below to speak.

Yao Xi was lying face-on to the bottom of the bed, when suddenly the bed shook, leaving her face covered in ashes, the wooden canopy bed was creaked under the weight of some huge object, and it looked as if it would fall apart at any moment.

Liao Bing suffered from back pain from sitting on the chair and was also sleepy, so he simply lay down on Yao Xi's bed and fell asleep.

Does Yao Xi want to escape after Liao Bing falls asleep?But to escape, you have to push the pedals away first, so the loud noise might wake up Liao Bing.Even if she escaped from the house, there were so many people looking for her outside, and her instep was injured again, so if she was discovered, she would only be caught.

But staying under the bed all the time is not an option!If Liao Bing was determined to deal with her, he would definitely stick to the house.

Let's stay the same and respond to all changes!Maybe Zheng Dayun will come to find her tomorrow?She had just asked Zheng Dayun to transfer her to Xu Meiren's place. If it happened, Zheng Dayun would definitely come over and tell her, and then she would be able to go out.As for what to do in the future, we can think of a way after we go out.

Liao Bing had already slept like a dead pig, snoring and snoring, and it was the first time Yao Xi heard that someone could make a pig eat by snoring.She was also sleepy but dared not sleep, for fear of snoring or talking in her sleep after falling asleep, causing a big commotion.

Emperor Ming Cheng was planning to go to bed, and the beauties who served him tonight were waiting for him naked under the quilt after washing their incense.

Someone from Ning'an Palace suddenly said that the Queen Mother wanted him to go there.

"Tell the Empress Dowager that I have already fallen asleep! Tomorrow I will still go to Ning'an Palace to greet the Empress Dowager, and we will not be too late when something happens." Although Emperor Ming Cheng never regarded Wan Yu as a stepmother, etiquette is still indispensable.No matter how outspokenly he and Wan Yu hurt each other behind the scenes, he would respect Wan Yu in front of others, and it was also to help Wan Yu stand up.

To him, Wan Yu is more like his own girl who watched her grow up than his stepmother. As long as Wan Yu is not too much, he is willing to pamper her.He also gradually understood why the late emperor dared to spoil Wan Yu so much, because some women spoiled Wan Yu, but Wan Yu couldn't, Wan Yu was inherently bad.

"The empress said, if the emperor doesn't go, then she will come." The maid of Ning'an Palace said timidly.She is really miserable, being caught between the two biggest people in the whole world, whoever offends her is a dead end.

Emperor Ming Cheng still went to Ning'an Palace.

Wan Yu was sitting in front of a few desks, trimming the branches of a camellia with flower pruning shears. "Your Majesty, sit down! You all stand down!" Wan Yu raised her head to look at Emperor Ming Cheng, and pointed to Kang along the road.

"The Empress Dowager had better ask me for something." Emperor Ming Cheng felt furious when he thought of the beauty lying in his bedroom waiting for him.

Wan Yu threw away the flower scissors, took out a towel, wiped his hands, and said, "Zhu Xiangchang colluded with the county magistrate of Shu County to receive cargo ships at the ferry of Shi County, and then let the goods enter and leave Gyeonggi through secret passages to avoid the tax card. At Chaoguan along the Maohe River, merchants’ cargo ships sailed unimpeded under the banner of the father-in-law of the country, and the money spent in honoring Zhu Xiangchang was only half of the country’s taxes.”

The spirit of Emperor Ming Cheng who was seduced by the beauty came back in an instant.

"Really? How did the Empress Dowager know?" Emperor Ming Cheng was surprised that a woman in the palace knew so clearly about this matter, but he was busy with political affairs day and night but didn't know anything about it. "I would like to advise the Queen Mother not to inflict unwarranted crimes on Zhu Jia'an because of her personal grievances with the Queen."

"The witnesses and material evidence are all on the way, and the emperor will see them tomorrow. As for how the Aijia knows..." Wan Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "Because the Aijia is the largest merchant in the hands of the father-in-law."

Emperor Ming Cheng was stunned when he heard that.

Wan Yu continued: "The emperor knows about Wanfu Silk Factory, right?"

Emperor Ming Cheng nodded: "The largest silk factory in the south of the Yangtze River has cooperated with the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau for many years."

"It's from the mourning family." Wan Yu went back to Zhu Xiangchang's story: "It has always been the collusion between officials and businessmen, and officials and officials protect each other. Unfortunately, there is no place where money cannot go. If ministers want to be corrupt officials, the mourning family will give them money. Whether it is Beijing Officials are still local officials, few of them are clean, and the Ai family has their bad debts in their hands, how much filial piety they have in every year and month, and they have a clear record."

"Then how long has the queen mother known about the theft of customs duties by the father-in-law?" Ming Chengdi wanted to calculate, and the Zhu family roughly stole Daxing's money.

"More than a year." Wan Yu laughed.

"The queen mother hibernated for more than a year to collect evidence of the country's father?" Ming Chengdi did not expect Wan Yu to have such endurance.

Uh... the evidence of the crime has long been there.It has been kept secret for such a long time purely because it is cost-effective for Wanfu Silk Shop to go the way of Zhu Xiangchang!The money that goes into the national treasury cannot go into her small coffers.The reason for bringing this matter up now is purely because the queen is too ignorant.

Of course Wan Yu would not be so stupid as to tell the truth, but said: "Zhu Xiangchang is the emperor's father-in-law and an important minister of the country. Of course, the Ai family should be more cautious. It is not because the evidence is so strong that they dare not tell the emperor."

"My father-in-law? Heh. The emperor's crime is the same as that of the common people..." Ming Chengdi felt a little guilty after saying this.Wan Yu has committed many crimes, and he has never punished Wan Yu. "In short, if there are all the witnesses and material evidence tomorrow, I will definitely punish Zhu Xiangchang."

That's not okay.Right now Zhu Xiangchang is like a chicken that only lays golden eggs to Wan Yu.

"If this matter is investigated, more or less senior officials in the court will be involved. How can the emperor be punished? According to Ai's family, the emperor has a good idea of ​​this matter, and the Ai family will come forward to ask for this matter, so that the country's father-in-law Make up for the deficit in the national treasury. Isn't the emperor in trouble for the money for the embankment?" Wan Yu smiled like a mother again.

"How many illegal things have you done behind my back?" Ming Chengdi also laughed.He really convinced Wan Yu, this is nothing short of cheating!

"The Ai family will tell the emperor all about it." Wan Yu said a little proudly: "In the future, if any minister is disobedient, or the treasury is short of money, just come to Ai's family. Those ministers can just copy any house. Deal with any natural or man-made disasters."

"Isn't there a clean one?" Emperor Ming Cheng also knew that people love money, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way. Zhu Xiangchang and those people are also people who have studied sage books for many years. How can they be like a villain? OK?

"Not many. There are." Wan Yu recalled: "Does the emperor remember Yao Hezheng, the imperial censor of Zuoqian? The one you sent to southern Xinjiang? When the first emperor was still there, Aijia tried him several times with money. It's rare for someone to be clean." Wan Yu also felt a little regretful that it was rare for an honest person to be punished.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty also sighed: "Of course I remember. Meng Guangshen, the son of Meng Delai in Dongchang, was the one who exposed the case of embezzlement and embezzlement of military pay. When the Yao family was convicted, I also guessed that he was framed. The evidence can prove Yao Hezheng's innocence, so the Yao family has to be dispatched to southern Xinjiang."

Wan Yu was also silent.

"The only one who can share my worries is the Queen Mother!" Emperor Ming Cheng gratefully held Wan Yu's hand.

Wan Yu withdrew her hand in disgust, and said jokingly: "Then the emperor called the queen mother and let the Ai family listen."

"Crazy." Emperor Ming Cheng smiled and stood up: "Okay. I'm back."

***

Zhu Xiangchang rushed to the county government office in Ji county overnight, and the light at the gate of the government office was still on.In front of this county government office is the court, and in the back is the house of the county magistrate of Shu County.Zhu Xiangchang jumped out of the carriage before he could wait for someone to help him, and hurried to the inside.

The yamen servants at the door had seen the father-in-law, one hurriedly opened the door, and the other rushed in to report to the county magistrate.

Zhu Xiangchang entered the yard, and saw a big box in the yard, which contained gold and silver bars, silver tickets, and various jewelry utensils.The county magistrate commanded from the side: "Put it on! Put it all on!" Seeing Zhu Xiangchang coming, the county magistrate came to greet him with a bitter face: "Master, something big happened. knew."

"The queen mother's people have come?" Zhu Xiangchang heard his heart thump.

"Our people who met the boat at the ferry were arrested, and two merchants were also taken away." The county magistrate replied while ordering the yamen servant: "Hurry up! Don't ask, install everything! Install everything!"

Zhu Xiangchang's heart was completely broken.It seems that it is really going to break the bank and avoid disaster, but it is a full 300 million taels!He can take it out, it's like someone has cut off a big piece of meat.

"What are you going to do? Run away overnight with your belongings?" Zhu Xiangchang felt that the county magistrate was too bold. The whole world belongs to the emperor, so where can he escape?

The magistrate wept with a big chubby face: "I dare not escape even if I take advantage of my lowly position a hundred times! The Empress Dowager asked the lowly position to send 20 taels of silver to the gate of the palace within the next day, otherwise I will tell the emperor about it."

"Blackmailed you too?" Zhu Xiangchang really didn't understand what Wan Yu wanted so much money for, did the palace want anything?Is it possible to keep so much gold and silver for burial?

"Listen to the meaning of the father-in-law..." The county magistrate asked sympathetically, "The empress dowager also wants you 20 taels?"

20 taels?As long as it is 20 taels, Zhu Xiangchang will not be reluctant. "Three hundred..." Zhu Xiangchang was furious.

"The father-in-law is the father-in-law. The empress dowager and you are in-laws. It only costs 300 taels. Poor and humble job, all the family belongings don't add up to 20 taels!"

Zhu Xiangchang glared at the county magistrate, and said without love, "300 taels? It's a good idea. The queen mother asked me for 300 million taels."
