A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

The fourth princess didn't know either, but she was sure that what the man was going to do was related to his sister who was transferred out to become an official.

So he turned around and said, "If you have anything to see Father, just tell me!"

An Jinchen didn't dare to look around when he entered the imperial study room, took a deep breath, calmed down and said respectfully: "Craftsman An Jinchen is the elder brother of An Chuxia, who knows Jiangzhou."

Emperor Qing'an heard that he was An Chuxia's elder brother, and he had a premonition in his heart that the secret letter asked her to do something, and there should be some clues.

"Because the prefect of Jiangzhou has lost important things, the city of Jiangzhou is full of eyeliners, and my sister is also under surveillance and cannot be free at this time, so the grassroots are sent to the capital to send the things."

An Jinchen took off the two account books tied to his body and handed them out with both hands, Rong Ling hurried over to take them and presented them to Emperor Qing'an.

Seeing that the wound on his arm was still bleeding, Emperor Qing'an didn't understand at this moment, he was being chased and killed.

"These people are really daring, Rong Ling took him down to find the imperial doctor and bandaged his wound." Emperor Qing'an ordered with a gloomy face.

"promise!"

An Jinchen was taken by Rong Ling to bandage the wound, and the four imperial daughters watched An Jinchen's back leave, with worries for him in their eyes.

But what worried the fourth princess even more was the daughter who was said to have been injured.

"Father, how is Yue'er doing now?"

"Go and see her in the apse!"

The four imperial daughters were facing the apse of the imperial study room, where the emperor was usually tired from reviewing memorials, so it was convenient for him to rest in the bedroom.

Watching the four emperors go to the apse, Emperor Qing'an looked at the cover of Jiangben's ledger on the imperial case, and the corners of Emperor Qing'an's mouth, which was always majestic, could not help but twitch.

On a romantic night, you don't need to read the book with this cover to know what it's about.Using this as the cover of the account book, An Zhuangyuan is really ingenious and unique.

Emperor Qing'an flipped through the ledger page by page, and every time he turned a page, Emperor Qing'an's face darkened a little. Here was all the money he approved to allocate to build the dam every year.

After flipping through the two account books, Emperor Qing'an's face was as black as ink, so dark that ink could be drawn down.

Nearly [-]% of the funds allocated each year have been swallowed into the pockets of others, and less than [-]% of them have actually been implemented.

And the one who devoured the most of this huge sum of money turned out to be his good emperor, and his good uncle who was the secretary of the household department.

I'm afraid even his grandfather Pan Hong, who relied on the old to sell the old and clung to power, couldn't say that he didn't know it at all.

The officials below are also exploiting this huge sum of money layer by layer. They are really a group of good courtiers raised by me.

Just when Emperor Qing'an was furious, the third prince heard that his mother and concubine had been punished, so he came to the imperial study and begged to see Emperor Qing'an and intercede for Concubine Pan Gui.

Emperor Qing'an listened to his servants inform the third prince to ask for an audience, Long Yan glared and took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Let him in!"

The servant went out and passed the third prince in.

"I pay homage to my father!" The third prince saluted Emperor Qing'an, and seeing his expression turned pale, he thought he was still giving birth to his mother and concubine to beat up that little bastard.

So he interceded for Concubine Pan Guifei: "Father, mother and concubine are also the beloved rare flowers that were picked at will, so they ordered people in a hurry to punish the daughter of the fourth imperial sister.

I also ask my father to appease my anger, and forgive my concubine's unintentional mistake~"

Emperor Qing'an looked at the only surviving son with complicated eyes, and thought of the powerful family behind him. If he is really allowed to occupy this position, it is inevitable that his relatives will control the government.

If he helps him clear out his kinsmen, based on his understanding of this son, he is self-willed, arrogant, mediocre without knowing it, and it will be difficult to secure this position.

Thinking of these things, Emperor Qing'an closed his eyes, and said in a weary voice: "I pass on the word of mouth that concubine Pan will be exempted from being grounded for three months, and instead I will copy the palace rules three times as a punishment."

The third prince saw that Emperor Qing'an only relieved his mother and concubine from being grounded, but did not restore his position.

Still wanting to say something, I saw Emperor Qing'an waving his hand at him, the meaning was self-evident, just let him accept as soon as he was good, and he didn't want to listen to other words anymore.

The third prince knew that if he continued to intercede for his mother and concubine, he might anger Emperor Qing'an even more, so he had to salute and leave the imperial study.

With a gloomy face, he left the palace and went to the prime minister's mansion. Emperor Qing'an got the report and was even more disappointed with the third prince Xiao Yiling.

Emperor Qing'an leaned on the chair and closed his eyes, as if he said to the air: "Notice, we are ready to close the net at any time!"

"promise!"

Silence returned to the imperial study room, as if no one had ever spoken.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Pan Yuesheng was sweating on his forehead, walking around anxiously. When he got a report from a secret agent in the Fourth Emperor's Mansion, he immediately thought of Jiang Zhou's letter saying that the ledger had been lost.

Immediately, he sent someone to assassinate the strange man who was close to the fourth imperial daughter and let him bring him into the palace.

Originally, he wanted to kill two birds with one stone and send both of them to heaven, but he didn't expect them to escape.

Now the fourth princess must have brought that man to see the old emperor, and Pan Yuesheng, who was used to following his father's arrangements, didn't know what to do next.

As soon as Prime Minister Pan came in, he saw the panic on his son's face, and frowned with displeasure, annoyed that his son was still so edgy at such an old age.

"I heard that the Fourth Imperial Daughter was assassinated on the street today. I don't know which capable person did such a big thing in broad daylight."

Pan Yuesheng heard the sarcasm in his father's words. At this moment, he also knew that what he did was a bit reckless, so he touched his nose and lowered his head.

Prime Minister Pan sat on a high seat in the lobby with sharp eyes, and he also understood that Jiangzhou's lost ledger must have been sent to the palace and handed over to the emperor.

He secretly hated He Zhifu for putting such an important account book in an outer room, and it was stolen so easily.

The father and son still hadn't reached a conclusion through discussion, so the servants came to report to the third prince.

The third prince walked in with a gloomy expression.

Prime Minister Pan learned that his daughter's imperial concubine status had been demoted, and the account books recording the disaster relief funds for every embankment repair in Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers had been stolen. This information has proved that the current emperor is investigating their Pan family's henchmen.

At this time, Prime Minister Pan didn't know that He Zhifu was pushed out as a scapegoat just in case.

In the two account books, one of them actually recorded the money embezzled by the third prince and his son Pan Yuesheng.

Even if Prime Minister Pan didn't know this, after so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he could faintly feel the crisis from the clues, and the wrinkled corners of his eyes became more cunning and ruthless.

A storm is planning to spread in the capital, and it is unknown when it will break out.

Prime Minister Pan looked at the third prince and said: "After the third prince returns, don't plead with the emperor for your mother and concubine."

"Grandfather, what does this mean?"

"Recently, in the court, some officials are proposing to establish a crown prince. It is better not to annoy your father at this time."

The third prince had a happy face when he heard about this, and he thought that Emperor Qing'an was the only prince, and the other sisters were either not qualified enough, sick, and stupid.

The fifth emperor's sister's mother's family is the General's Mansion, and Concubine Shu's status is high enough, but she fell in love with the son of Marquis Wu'an the year before last, and now she has chased him to the border.

For such a person who is desperate for love, the royal father will only pass on the throne to her unless he is mentally ill.

Prime Minister Pan looked at him with dim eyes, and the third prince, who was all over the place, did not warn him as usual that the first thing to do is to be happy and angry.

What he was thinking at this moment, only Prime Minister Pan knew.
