Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 55

"Hey, isn't that Danyun?" Apparently Nianqing also saw this person, and asked suspiciously, "What is she going to Dafang for?"

Su Jingning glanced at it twice, then withdrew her gaze.

Danyun is the niece of Nanny Lin next to Mrs. Wang, but I heard from the little girl in the yard that the two often see each other.

"Running around in front of an errand, there are no rules." Nian Qing frowned and muttered.

"In the future, you and Nianyu should be more restrained."

Su Jingning casually ordered that she didn't have a good rest last night, and was very tired after another day of running around. She had an appointment with Shen Lingze at night, so she just wanted to go back and rest quickly.

When they arrived at Xiaokuayuan, Danyun was nowhere to be seen, but Feishuang came up to say hello and hurriedly brought hot water for the master to wash up.

After Su Jingning took a rest, she withdrew and went back to the room where she lived with Dan Yun.

Dan Yun was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.

"Are you going to Nanny Lin again?" Fei Shuang couldn't help asking when she saw her.

Dan Yun came back to his senses and gave a low "hmm".

Fei Shuang hated iron and steel: "Miss has always been at odds with Da Fang, why do you always go to her place? What do you think if you see Miss?"

Dan Yun insisted: "My aunt told me that I must go! Besides, every time I avoid Miss."

Fei Shuang sneered: "As the saying goes, people stumble and horses stumble, can you guarantee that you will not hit each other with such good luck every time?"

Dan Yun was a little impatient: "What if I bump into it? Can't I go see my aunt?"

Feishuang said: "Since you are a slave and a servant girl, even your parents have to be behind the master, let alone an aunt! You can go, but you have to inform the lady before you can go, let alone you are on duty today. Running around, if it is investigated, there will be a charge of dereliction of duty."

Dan Yun was so stunned that he had nothing to say, and it took a long time before he said in a low voice: "Miss, I won't blame you, you see, I haven't seen her beat anyone since we came here."

Fei Shuang smiled angrily: "You know that Miss is generous and don't cherish it. It is our blessing to meet such a master, so don't let it go."

Seeing Dan Yun still disapproving, she was really helpless.

"I've told you so much because of our affection to come and live in the same house together. You can decide for yourself what to do!"

After she finished speaking, she went out of the house again.

Although the young lady has a good temper, she is not easy to be fooled. If Dan Yun still can't figure it out, he has to be stupid, and when the time comes, he will not be able to get away with it if he does something that eats inside and out!
But Dan Yun didn't take her words to heart at all, she kept thinking about what Nanny Lin said.

The eldest young master is 16 years old, and he has reached the age when he should be married. When he becomes a kiss, the eldest lady will definitely arrange a house for him. If he seizes the opportunity...

Thinking of Su Jingyu's handsome and unrestrained face, her face suddenly blushed.

Su Jingning slept until Haishi before being woken up by Nianyu.

She freshened up and refreshed herself with some refreshments.

Looking out of the window, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly, and the maids and women had already fallen asleep.

"Miss, why do I have to call you up now?" Nian Yu thoughtfully held the hand stove for her, with a curious face on her face.

Su Jingning replied: "Someone will come later."

Nian Yu blinked suspiciously, who would come so late?
Su Jingning was about to explain, when she heard the sound of the door curtain, Shen Lingze, who was wearing a silver fox light fur cloak, entered the room.

Seeing a man walk in suddenly, Nian Yu almost threw the plate in his hands.

Seeing this, Su Jingning hurriedly shouted, "Nianyu, one of my own."

Nian Yu finally let go of her heart, and hurriedly put the plate away.

"I'm laughing." Su Jingning apologized to Shen Lingze, then smiled lightly, "Your Majesty is on time."

When the appointment was made, it was not bad at all.

Shen Lingze's lips curled slightly: "Punctuality is a virtue."

After finishing speaking, he took off the cloak and handed it to Nianyu who was still a little dazed beside him: "Please put it away for me, please."

Nian Yu subconsciously received it in his hand before waking up.

My God, it turned out that the lady was waiting for a man!

Although he is good-looking and well-mannered, he is a man after all, what should he do if someone finds out?

But seeing her master's calm face, she couldn't say anything, so she hung up her clothes and went to make tea with all her heart.

Shen Lingze has already arrived in front of Su Jingning.

"Have you brought your son's things?" Su Jingning asked first.

Shen Lingze nodded, and took out a stack of things wrapped in oiled paper from his arms.

"This is..." Su Jingning looked familiar.

"It is the account book when we first met, plus a few official documents."

Su Jingning raised her eyebrows and was a little surprised: "The prince is willing to show it to me? Aren't you afraid that I will leak it?"

"Since we are already an alliance, I believe in Miss Su." Shen Lingze handed the things forward and said with a smile.

Su Jingning listened and passed her ears. She is not so naive, there must be a reason for this.

But since Shen Lingze has no objection, she will not refuse.

He took the things and opened the oiled paper, and there was indeed the account book inside.

She made up her mind before reaching out to turn to the first page, which was actually the expropriation record of Hexi Mansion.

She felt a chill in her heart, thinking that the tax embezzlement case that her uncle was ordered to investigate in her previous life was in the Hexi Mansion!
She hurriedly looked down, and the first page read "On the ninth day of June, 15, Hexi Mansion, Zheng - 80 eight taels of silver, 420 six stones of rice, 780 cloth three horses.

Among them, in Dehua County, the levy is 340 five taels of silver, 1 stones per meter, and 590 four bolts of cloth.Mayi County,..."

On the second page, "On the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the 15th year of Wensi, Hexi Mansion, levy..."

Page three, page four...

Until the last page, "On the eighth day of August in the 22nd year of Wensi, Hexi Mansion, the collection - 18 three taels of silver, 590 three stones of rice, and 12 three horses of cloth. Among them... "

Su Jingning flipped through it quickly, but was a little puzzled.

In the past seven years, the amount of these collections has been roughly estimated to be about seventy-eight million taels in total, which is not too much when averaged out every year.

But there was obviously a corruption case at that time?Could it be that this account book is fake?

Shen Lingze seemed to see her doubts, and said, "This is just the additional tax collected by Hexi Prefecture in the name of military supplies over the past few years."

Su Jingning's eyes widened in shock, and there was a huge wave in her heart.

It turned out to be just a privately collected tax!
Shen Lingze raised the corners of his lips sarcastically: "This is only one Hexi mansion, but there are five mansions in Taihe Province!"

"Your Majesty, you mean the whole Taihe Province is like this?" Su Jingning lost her voice.

She couldn't believe that those people dared to be so bold!
But the account books in her hand and the stern look on Shen Lingze's face told her that this was true.
