After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 56

"Sister Xingzhi..." Qin Changbai's face was solemn, and after seeing Wei Xingzhi's figure, he frowned fiercely, "Why don't you take a good rest, what are you doing here?"

Wei Xingzhi only thought that he was concerned about her body, and smiled indifferently, "It's okay, my skin is rough and thick."

Qin Changbai pursed his thin lips, and secretly glanced at Qiusheng beside him.

Qiu Sheng's expression was not very good-looking, as if he had just experienced something.

Wei Xingzhi sensed something was wrong, and the expressions of the two of them didn't seem to worry about her body.

"What happened?"

The corners of Qin Changbai's mouth curled up stiffly, and he pretended to be relaxed, "I'm here to watch what can happen."

Wei Xingzhi looked at Qiusheng, and the idle smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Qiu Sheng avoided Wei Xingzhi's eyes, swallowed his saliva and said with a smile, "It's okay, Master Wei just go back and take care of himself..."

Wei Xingzhi's expression turned serious, "If you don't report it, you will be punished for the crime."

Qiu Sheng paused, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The disaster relief bank...something went wrong."

The smile on Qin Changbai's mouth completely disappeared.

This matter can be big or small. The reconstruction of Jizhou now requires money, and the treasury is in short supply, so the money cannot be transferred. If there is a problem with this batch of disaster relief money in the hands of Wei Xingzhi, the impeachment of the courtiers alone can make her withdraw this time. The credit of the enemy has been wiped out.

"I'll contact the members of the Qin family's hometown immediately, so don't worry."

Qiu Sheng curled his lips, he had secretly sent the news to the emperor, the emperor loves Lord Wei so much, he will definitely find a way for him.

Wei Xingzhi looked condensed, "What's wrong?"

"In the 20 taels of silver bills sent by Xiao Bohou's mansion, there was poisonous powder, which corroded the silver bills and made them unusable, and even the nearby boxes..."

"How dare you hide such a big thing from me?" Wei Xingzhi only felt his blood surge.

To put it nicely, it's called not wanting her to worry, but to put it ugly, this is a bunch of fucking idiots.

"How much was destroyed in total?"

Qin Changbai clenched his hands tightly, "45 taels..."

How much is the disaster relief money sent by the imperial court in total, and 45 taels were lost all of a sudden?

"Isn't Xiao Bohou's nephew an imperial merchant? Qiusheng... I work for the emperor, so it's okay to do something out of the ordinary now and then, right?"

Wei Xingzhi looked at Qiusheng thoughtfully.

Qiu Sheng swallowed, "It's okay."

Wei Xingzhi hooked his lips, "Then I will trouble you to go for me."

"Ah?" Qiusheng just wanted to change with Xia Feng now, he went to Handan to pick up King Kang, let Xia Feng do things for Wei Xingzhi.

……

Sitting with Qin Changbai in the main hall of the Ganqi Mansion, Wei Xingzhi put on a cloak in the cool summer breeze, picked up a white piece with slightly callused fingers, and dropped it on the chessboard.

The black and white chess pieces are fighting inseparably, and Wei Xingzhi's white pieces are surrounded by Qin Changbai's black pieces.

Seeing that he was about to lose, Wei Xingzhi looked calm, as if he was prepared.

"You transported that 20 taels of silver from the imperial city a long time ago?" Qin Changbai watched the chess game with his eyes, but his thoughts were on the inexplicably extra 20 taels of silver.

They didn't say anything about the destruction of 45 taels of silver. At present, only he, Wei Xingzhi, Zhou Han, Fu Lianzi and Qiusheng are the only ones who know about it.

And the inexplicably extra 20 taels was only known to him.

God knows, there was a shortage of money when the Jizhou Dam was built, and the 20 taels was considered a solution to the urgent need.

"Where does the Wei family have so much money?" He asked.

Wei Xingzhi raised his eyes, "The Wei family does not have one, but it doesn't mean that I, Wei Xingzhi, don't."

The 20 taels is the low gold that she plans to take root in Jizhou, and now it is just a temporary emergency, so as not to delay the reconstruction of Jizhou.

She had to spit out everything that ate her, since the 20 taels of silver bills came from Xiao Bohou's mansion, then the 45 taels of silver should come from Xiao Bohou's mansion.

Qin Changbai frowned, "Officials in the court are not allowed to engage in business, nor to support secret guards. Where did you get this money?"

Wei Xingzhi gave him a blank look, "It's fine to keep the hidden guards, but the property still has some points. If I don't have the property, the Wei family will not be the first to take out 10 taels for this disaster relief. I can't let my grandparents give me a hand." The age follows me, the northwest wind..."

"Old general Wei and the old lady don't know about this?"

"I don't know."

If the old man found out about this, she would have to be skinned. The Wei family is full of loyalty, and it's her fault.

Qin Changbai breathed a sigh of relief, "Then this matter can no longer be known by other people, otherwise you will be mobilized and attacked, and become the target of public criticism, and it will be difficult for the emperor."

He is also restless playing chess, "I am writing to the Qin family now, asking the Qin family to contact the clan to collect 45 taels, wait for the silver to be delivered, and take back your 20 taels before others know about it. To be discovered."

Wei Xingzhi's hand holding the chess pieces suddenly paused. His first reaction was to cover up for the sky?

"No need." Wei Xing knew, "I already have a solution. This is a big matter, so there is no need to let the Qin family know. The fewer people who know, the better."

"You have a solution?" Qin Changbai didn't believe it.

This is 45 taels, and he suddenly remembered that Wei Xingzhi secretly ordered Qiu Sheng some things, and he also mentioned Xiao Bohou's nephew...

He suddenly widened his eyes, "You shouldn't..."

Wei Xingzhi pointed to the chess game, "Brother Chang Bai, if you don't concentrate on playing chess, you will lose and cry..."

He looked down, and sure enough, his thoughts became confused at some point. The black pieces surrounding the white pieces fell apart, but the white pieces landed neatly on the board, winning the game cleanly.

The corners of Wei Xingzhi's eyes were slightly curved, "Everything must be prepared..."

……

"Ahem..." The Empress Dowager leaned against the head of the bed with a bleak face and sunken cheeks. After coughing heavily, she clutched her chest and gradually calmed down.

Cheng Wansu sat dignifiedly on the side of the bed, holding the soup in his hand, stirring it carefully.

"My mother has been ill for a while, and the imperial physicians haven't come up with a good solution?"

Her eyes were full of worry.

The queen mother smiled kindly, and looked at Cheng Wansu with satisfied and gentle eyes, "Aijia understands that it is probably not going to get better... But Aijia only has one wish, and that is to be able to look at you Giving birth to the emperor's child, Ai's family can also enjoy some family happiness before dying."

Cheng Wansu's eyes clearly flashed a hint of sadness, but he pretended to be relaxed and said, "What is the mother saying, the mother's illness will definitely recover, and the children's affairs, don't rush it for a while."

The queen mother did not ignore the sadness in her eyes, and frowned, "Why, the emperor still doesn't want to touch you?"

Cheng Wansu's eyes were slightly red, "If it's just that A-Qian just doesn't want to touch my concubines, that's fine, but I heard from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that A-Qian has never set foot in the harem. For a long time, my concubines are afraid..."
