Chapter 376 Shut up!
Chapter 376 Shut up!
Everyone had a strange look on their face and didn't know what to say. You have said all the good and bad things by yourself and you have offended people. What should the regent say now that you say this?
This woman is beautiful, but why is she so stupid?
Qi Yunxu suppressed his smile and quickly comforted him, "It's okay, I don't blame you. I know you are kind-hearted and innocent, and you don't have any bad intentions. You won't say nice things to go against your will. I don't mind.
Since I have brought you back, I will not wrong you. You can say whatever you want to say and do whatever you want to do. Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up."
Shen Nanzhi was so moved that she almost cried: "Your Majesty is so kind to me. I like you so much."
Qi Yunxu coughed and his cheeks turned red again. “You can tell me this alone when we get back home.”
Mr. Yuan raised his sleeves, trying to hide his old face. He definitely didn't know this shameless woman.
Prince Yu was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire. He wanted to strangle this woman to death. The moment she opened her mouth, he became even more miserable.
The Queen Mother could not bear to watch and said, "Today is my birthday, so let's not talk about government affairs. You can't even celebrate your birthday peacefully, and you are fighting and killing. Do you really want to make things difficult for me?"
Despite the Queen Mother's opposition, Shen Nanzhi insisted on searching the house. What was the Queen Mother trying to cover up?
"Your Highness, is the Queen Mother coming for me? I have good intentions. If they are guilty, the people will only say that the Queen Mother is blessed with great fortune and protects the world. She can punish corrupt officials on her birthday. She is worthy of being the Queen Mother who rules the country. Why is the Queen Mother angry? Could it be..."
Shen Nanzhi stopped talking. Could it be that the Queen Mother was colluding with Prince Yu? Or was the Queen Mother protecting the two of them?
The deeper meaning of this is more intriguing than what can be expressed in words.
Old Yuan put down his sleeves. Although Nan Zhi was a shameless child, he really cared about the people and had good ideas. He was indeed a good child that he had taught.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she felt dizzy before her eyes. Was this woman trying to make her angry on purpose?
Prime Minister Dou stood up and said, "This young lady has a point. Now that things have come to this, I want to search their house. We should do it now so that they can be cleared of all charges.
If they are law-abiding, honest and upright, the old officials will make the decision and let them be promoted three levels to make up for the suspicion against them. "
Since Prime Minister Dou has said so, who can object?
Qi Yunxu immediately issued an order, asking the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Imperial City Administration to join forces and bring the imperial guards to search the house.
They are just two families, just copy them together, in no particular order.
Princess Yu suddenly burst into tears: "My Lord, Queen Mother, please help me. My family has been a small governor of Jingzhao Prefecture for many years to avoid suspicion. We dare not get promoted, but today we have ended up with our property confiscated.
If you have any dissatisfaction, please come to me, don't attack my family, I beg the Queen Mother to help me."
Shen Nanzhi ate a grape. Hmm, it was a little sour and not sweet enough, but suitable for making wine. Once the wine was made, the wine in her space could be sold, which would bring another small amount of money.
"Princess Yu, your father didn't get promoted because he's mediocre and incompetent, doesn't that mean he's aggrieved? What kind of logic is that?"
I have little experience and I am not very smart, could Princess Yu explain it to me?"
"you shut up!"
Princess Yu couldn't bear it any longer. It was all this woman's fault. Nothing good ever came out of her mouth. She wanted to tear her cherry lips apart.
Shen Nanzhi was startled. "You, you are mean to me, Your Majesty. I am so scared. Is she going to hit me?"
Princess Yu: “…”
Don't you think you deserve a beating?
Shen Kening is happy, you deserve it, you were the one who started it!
The Queen Mother's face was as black as ink. This birthday was so miserable. She held her forehead and said, "I am not feeling well. Let's go. It's a pity that the late emperor just passed away and no one takes me seriously. I can't even have a peaceful birthday. I might as well go and accompany the late emperor."
Shen Nanzhi's eyes lit up: "Really? The Empress Dowager can go to the Imperial Mausoleum to accompany the late emperor. This way, they can be buried together on the spot after they pass away. How convenient."
"Ahem, Nan Zhi, stop talking nonsense."
Qi Yunxu couldn't bear to listen any longer, and the Queen Mother was so angry that she almost fainted.
Shen Nanzhi shrank his neck: "I won't say anything more. It's her own idea. Could it be that she is just talking? Doesn't she really miss the late emperor?"
Queen Mother: "......"
My chest felt tight and my vision was darkening. Was this bitch trying to make things difficult for me on purpose?
Waiting for her to fall into my hands and teach her a lesson.
Shen Nanzhi smiled sweetly, pretending not to see the murderous intent in her eyes, and said: "What are you doing staring at me, Your Majesty?
I am so embarrassed. The Queen Mother just said that she was not feeling well? Do you want me to serve you?"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "No need, I can't afford it."
"No, the Queen Mother can bear it. I really want to serve her. Even if she goes to accompany the late Emperor, I am willing to follow her. My sincerity is known to the sun and the moon. I dare to swear."
"you shut up!"
Even the Queen Mother couldn't help it, you better shut up, otherwise I will really be sent to the imperial mausoleum to accompany the late emperor.
The little emperor was so happy that he patted the throne, and the old witch had to be dealt with by Sister Nanzhi.
After half an hour of this commotion, the commander of the imperial guards came back to report: "Your Majesty, Regent, Queen Mother, I have found a large amount of silver, countless gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house of the Jingzhao prefect. The amount is huge.
The same goes for the Five Cities Military Department. It will take two or three days to count them all. There are also letters from the important study room. I have brought them back. Please ask the Regent to interrogate them personally."
"What? They're really not clean."
Qi Yunxu's face darkened. "How much silver is there in the Jingzhao Prefecture's treasury? Give us a preliminary estimate."
The commander said: "At least 10 million taels of silver."
"hiss!"
"so much?"
"This is just the silver. If you add in the land, farms and other properties, the amount is too scary."
"No wonder the Jingzhao prefecture governor refused to move. It turns out he controls so much money."
"No, Jingzhao Prefecture is just a prefect, how could he embezzle so much money?"
Prince Yu's face was as pale as paper, and he was already sweating coldly. His expression was uglier than Shen Kening's before.
It's over, it's over.
Qi Yunxu stared at him deeply. Jingzhao Prefecture did not have that much power, but Prince Yu did.
Before, the late emperor was seriously ill, and a lot of power in the court was in the hands of these princes. In order to cultivate their ability to observe them, it gave them the opportunity to embezzle.
The commander of the Imperial Guards continued, "The Five Cities Military Commander has less money at home, but he still has millions of taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money."
Qi Yunxu took a deep breath and said, "I will interrogate you personally. Let's go now."
Shen Nanzhi said caringly, "Prince, go and get busy. The Queen Mother asked me to stay and learn the rules. I will not leave the palace. I will be filial to the Queen Mother on your behalf."
