The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 49 Meeting Fu Pingye Again

Xie Tinglan chuckled softly: "Grandmother is doing this, talk about it if you have something to say, why play tricks like a child. Since grandma wants to keep Nanny Li and Zhong Ling, Lan'er agrees."

The old lady Xie was taken aback, blinked her eyes, and said dryly: "You...you agreed?"

"It's not a big deal, and Lan'er doesn't want to upset her grandmother."

Before Mrs. Xie could show her face, Xie Tinglan changed the subject: "I'm still a little unwilling to think about it. Zhong Ling and Nanny Li stole so many jewelry treasures from Lan'er, worth a thousand taels, and many of them can't be recovered. That's the kindness of my grandfather's family for Lan'er... Just let them go, I..."

The old lady Xie was so angry that her seven orifices were filled with smoke, she grabbed the brocade quilt on her lap, was silent for a long time, and gritted her teeth cruelly!

"Nurse Li is a person close to Laoshen, and Laoshen is not strict in discipline. You, you let her go, make a list of the things that she and her daughter stole, and you can't get them back... Laosang asked your father to wait Change the price into cash or bank notes, and I will return all of them to you!"

Xie Tinglan smiled, and said sweetly: "Then Lan'er is very grateful to grandma for loving her."

Old Madam Xie wished she could swell Xie Tinglan's face, this dazzling smile made her palms itch.

With Xie Tinglan's promise, she immediately drove him out of her yard.

Xie Tinglan was in a good mood, on the way back, Yuxiu became very curious, and when she arrived at Bixiao Courtyard, she couldn't wait to ask.

Xie Tinglan told Yuxiu about the conversation with Mrs. Xie. After hearing this, Yuxiu immediately asked, "Miss, do you really want to let Zhong Ling and Nanny Li go?"

Those two people who eat inside and out, after this disaster, will only resent Xie Tinglan even more. When the two of them return to the house, it is a hidden danger, which is extremely unfavorable to Xie Tinglan.

Yuxiu thought it was better to exile the two of them out of Beijing, as far away as possible.

Xie Tinglan looked at her with a smile, and said, "It's not that I don't let them go, it's the imperial court that doesn't let them go, the three."

Yuxiu understood that Xie Tinglan's words were probably just to coax the old lady Xie.

She became even more curious, "Miss, why on earth did this old lady let Madam Li and the others steal your jewelry? The old lady was in charge of the middle gift before, and it stands to reason that she would not have money in her hand, so why did she covet Miss's?" Is something coming?"

Xie Tinglan smiled, and said slowly: "You will know soon."

...

...

The next day, Xie Tinglan took the carriage to Shuntian Mansion as promised.

Nanny Ping, who was staring at her, watched her leave, and immediately went back to Songhe Hall to tell Mrs. Xie about it.

The old lady Xie breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down in front of the Buddha and recited a few words of Amitabha, then raised her hand tremblingly to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

On the other side, the noble pear-blossom wooden carriage ran over the blue bricks, the man driving the horse tightened the reins, the horse grunted a few times, then stopped its hooves, and the carriage just stopped under the stone steps.

Another carriage from behind also chased after him, and Gu Fucheng, who was dressed in court uniform, stepped on the footstool in a hurry and ran to the carriage in front.

"Welcome Your Highness." Gu Fucheng bowed deeply.

The prince got off the carriage, passed him and walked into the Shuntian mansion, and said lazily behind his back: "Your time is limited, I will give you half an hour to report on your duties."

Gu Fucheng responded, quickly followed the prince, and walked into Shuntian Mansion.

Fu Pingye is currently unemployed in the East Palace, he does not have to go to court, and he is not in charge of the affairs of the official department for the time being, but there is still a Shuntian Mansion left, and he is still in charge.

Gu Qing, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion, is Fu Pingye's uncle, and Fu Pingye has full authority over most of the affairs in daily life.

Only at the end of the month and at the end of the year, the prince came to listen to Gu Qing's work report, check the files and so on.

Gu Fucheng didn't dare to waste time, even though he was Fu Pingye's uncle, and his relationship was good on weekdays, he wasn't afraid of what Fu Pingye would do to him, but if this guy played foolishly and let the officials know before suing the emperor, he would This Fu Cheng couldn't afford to walk around.

Simply because there have been no major cases in recent days, Gu Fucheng said: "At the beginning of last month, Xie Shangshu's mansion reported a case, which was reported by the Lord of Jinyang County. The maid in her courtyard stole her in the past three years. There are countless jewelry in the room, roughly worth nearly 5 taels of snowflake silver."

Fu Pingye straightened his lazily sitting posture, "Where is the dossier?"

Zhizhong next to him handed the file to Fu Pingye. Fu Pingye flipped through it and asked, "It's just the theft?"

Gu Fucheng said: "At first, I thought it was an ordinary theft case. According to the jewelry map provided by the county lord and the portrait of the thief, I visited all the pawnshops in the capital and found a few pieces of jewelry, but the strange thing is that several The jewelry was not pawned by the maid."

"Continue." Fu Pingye read the things recorded in the dossier in a few glances, he threw the dossier on the table, and signaled Gu Qing opposite to continue.

"The rest of the jewelry was found in a black pawn shop, and the store has resold the jewelry at a high price. But according to him, these things were pawned by a person from a gambling shop in Shanghai. It is preliminarily inferred that this person stole Jinyang. The purpose of the county lord's jewelry is to pawn the jewelry and pay off the gambling debt for someone from the Xie family."

In Southern Qin, although there were many gambling houses, none of them dared to blatantly open them in the downtown area. Although the handling of gambling was loose, it was limited to the fact that they were not investigated by the government.

With such a large sum of money involved, the Xie family, who is involved in gambling, will be out of luck.

At this time, a yamen servant came to the door and said politely: "I have seen His Royal Highness. Mr. Gu, a woman outside the mansion is begging to see you."

"Did she say who she is?"

"It's Miss Xie Shangshu's mansion, Xie Tinglan."

click.

The beating sound that had been stimulating his heart before suddenly stopped.

Gu Qing's ears moved, and he followed the sound from the corner of his eye.

Fu Pingye's slack gaze changed suddenly, and he was looking at the outside attentively at this time, obviously much more energetic.

Gu Qing's heart was shocked, and he didn't know what to think of, and immediately said: "Please come in!"
