Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 49
"System, Mrs. Li's younger brother is a fifth-rank official. What is his position? What about his family background?"

[Mrs. Li's younger brother is called Li Lingjiang. He has successively served as the prefect of Linchuan County and the governor of Jiangzhou. If he passes the examination of the Ministry of Officials this year, he will be able to join the Ministry of War as Yuanwailang.As for family background, the Li family can be regarded as a great family in Jiangzhou, but Jiangzhou is far away, and the Li family has not yet established a foundation in Bianjing. 】

"It's really suspicious that local officials join the Ministry of War."

[Jiangzhou is close to Nanjing, and soldiers are often used, so it is not unusual for him to want to go to the Ministry of War.However, Mrs. Li revealed in words that what they planned should be aimed at you. 】

Sheng Shaoqing:
"System, I want to declare again, I'm too lazy to use my brain, and it's not that I don't have a brain. Her words are very clear, so I don't know what she wants to do?"

"However, there is one thing that is very strange. How can this Mrs. Li be so sure that things will come true, and dare to let me know?"

Before the system responded, Mrs. Xu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Sister Li intends to commit suicide in front of the palace, and even speaks against the Queen Mother. It is really abominable, but I hope the Queen Mother will spare her for the sake of Sister Li's many years in the palace." Let's die."

Sheng Shaoqing looked up to meet Madam Xu's clear eyes, but the system had already displayed Madam Xu's current thoughts on top of her head.

Mrs. Xu: Give me death!

If it weren't for the clear writing of this word, Sheng Shaoqing would really be fooled by Mrs. Xu's clear eyes, thinking that she was really begging for mercy.

"It seems that the Ai family hasn't said that they want to kill her."

Mrs. Xu:? ? ? ?This crime is not dead?
"Ah, Empress Dowager, she. I."

Facing Sheng Shaoqing's playful eyes, Mrs. Xu suddenly felt a sense of shame being seen through. Is she right?

"Mrs. Xu, Aijia hasn't had time to ask you, what happened to the sealed pot you sent me this morning?"

Mrs. Xu smiled awkwardly, "Empress Dowager, don't you know everything?"

What to pretend, if you don't know what's going on, will you come to this private warehouse to check?
"what?"

Sheng Shaoqing pretended not to know, and asked suspiciously, "The Ai family just wanted to come to the library to find a statue of Guanyin. I didn't expect Wang Shanggong to push it back and forth, and then Mrs. Li turned out to be born again. That's why this case was brought up. What does it have to do with you?" Does it matter?"

Mrs. Xu half-believingly asked, "The Queen Mother really doesn't know?"

Sheng Shaoqing shook his head, his eyes were still fixed on Mrs. Xu's head.

Mrs. Xu: The Queen Mother doesn't know if it's true or not?

Mrs. Xu: No, what Mrs. Li did in the past, the Queen Mother must have known it after living in the palace for a long time, and the Queen Mother was cheating.

Mrs. Xu: Could it be that I was too aggressive and made the Queen Mother suspicious?
Sheng Shaoqing saw Mrs. Xu's mind make up a big drama, and didn't explain, just waiting for Mrs. Xu to justify herself.

"Empress Dowager, my concubine has been checking the accounts recently, seeing that the mistakes and omissions are becoming more and more obvious, so I have no choice but to remind the Empress Dowager that there is not much surplus in the palace."

"Just to remind Ai's family that they don't have much surplus?"

Any other hints?

Mrs. Xu shook her head and said, "Yes, Mrs. Li has always been in charge of the private treasury in the palace. She has always said that there is no more savings in the treasury, and there is nothing the concubines can do."

Mrs. Xu: Then can I still say that I knew Mrs. Li stole, but I didn't report it, and I just waited for a huge amount before filing a complaint? ?
Sheng Shaoqing: 6.

"It seems that Mrs. Xu probably doesn't know what Mrs. Li is planning, but why didn't you reveal Li Shanggong's inner activities?"

【Li Shanggong doesn't have any thoughts or fluctuations at this moment, it may be that this person's city is so deep that even I can't detect it. 】

In the past, his colleagues knelt aside and shivered, but Li Shanggong didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart?
But the most urgent task right now is to recover what Mrs. Li stole, and to find out what their siblings are plotting.

Sheng Shaoqing turned to look at Wang Shanggong who had been kneeling beside him. The scene where Mrs. Li hit the pillar was too powerful, and when Mrs. Li was dragged down like a dead fish, Wang Shanggong was by Mrs. Li's side.

Wang Shanggong hasn't recovered from her senses for a long time, and this morning she still joked with the female historian beside her that she would be able to turn over and be a master freely in her own courtyard after leaving the palace in the future.

But now, Mrs. Li is imprisoned, and her future is even more unknown. She is afraid that she will not be able to get out of the palace alive.

"Wang Shanggong, you said you were coerced, and Aijia is now offering you a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, do you want it?"

When Wang Shanggong heard the Queen Mother's words, infinite light burst out in his eyes, but after hearing the conditions set by the Queen Mother, the light suddenly went out again.

"If you can recover what Mrs. Li stole, the Ai family will not be held accountable for your crimes, and will let you out of the palace next year according to the palace rules."

When I came here, I asked Wang Shanggong that she would be able to retire next year. Compared with Mrs. Li who wished to go to hell, the probability of success in breaking through Wang Shanggong was significantly higher than that of Mrs. Li.

As for the plans of the Li brothers and sisters, it is more reliable for her to investigate in person.

Seeing Wang Shanggong's hesitation, Sheng Shaoqing said angrily, "Why? Don't you want to?"

Wang Shanggong quickly explained, "No, no, it's really too difficult to recover these things, and I'm worried. I'm worried that I can't do it."

"Wang Shanggong," Sheng Shaoqing said in a slow tone, "Do you think Aijia is discussing this matter with you?"

"Whether to drive out of the palace or return home next year, it's up to you to choose."

Wang Shanggong frowned, and made up his mind, "I obey the order, I must do my best!"

【Host, do you really believe that Wang Shanggong can recover it?Didn't Mrs. Li say that she changed the money? 】

"It's just one or two. Almost half of the warehouse has been emptied. If it was exchanged for money, who would be able to afford this price? Aren't they afraid of causing criticism if they sell palace supplies privately?"

"So, I guess these things should not have been exchanged for silver, but they were just taken out of the palace and moved to a place."

【Host, you are really smart when you don't show off. 】

"That's it!" Sheng Shaoqing was proud for a moment, "Stop flattering, go and find out who the Li brothers and sisters have close contacts with on weekdays. I always feel that this matter is full of weirdness."

The system didn't feel that the host was giving orders to itself. Now that the host finally had a tendency to stand up, it could feel relieved, and happily went to collect information.

"Since Wang Shanggong is going to recover the stolen goods, Li Shanggong can't be responsible for all the affairs of the Shanggong Bureau, right?" Madam Xu said.

Sheng Shaoqing glanced at Mrs. Xu almost at the same time, and there was a slight chill in his eyes, which Sheng Shaoqing himself didn't realize.

Mrs. Xu shivered all over her body, but she still gritted her teeth and continued, "Li Shanggong, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xu wrote clearly in large characters on her head that she wanted to arrange for her confidant Liu Sizhi to act as her agent.

　Today is New Year's Eve. I wish you all good health and good luck in the new year! !
