Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

What!Cut off her hands and feet!
Lisa immediately begged for mercy: "Princess, please don't cut off my hands and feet. If I lose my hands and feet, I will be a useless person, and I will never be able to serve others again..."

"So far, you still haven't told the truth?"

"I said, I said, I did not earn the money nor was it rewarded by the concubine. I took their money privately because I was greedy for money... I am willing to return all the money in full. Please be kind to the princess. Please spare this slave..."

"When I came here, I specifically checked the account room. The money used for relief was not much, but it was more than enough. The victims would not be able to afford sticky white porridge. I said, apart from taking bribes in private, what else have you done? I don't know. Something about?"

Lisa knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she also confessed: "Yes, the prince did allocate part of the disaster money to the concubine to take charge of giving porridge, but only half of it reached the hands of the slaves, let alone fruits and vegetables. The little money was not enough to buy rice, so those people who were not full took the initiative to give money to the slave, and the slave gave them more. But later, there was really no food and rice to cook, and the people above could not let it know, and the slave had no money either. This is the only way..."

Xu Ruqing nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. Needless to say, she also saw what happened next.

"Chu side concubine, you are the person in charge of this matter, how do you explain this?"

Chu Yu was also surprised after hearing Lisa's words. She did not expect that such a big mess would happen under her own hands. "I don't know what's going on. I gave all the disaster money allocated by the prince to Manager Wu. I have no experience in buying grain, so I have always left the purchase of grain and rice to him."

"Now that the truth has come to light and right and wrong have been revealed, can the concubine admit that I have punished you?"

Chu Yu was speechless: "I..."

Xu Ruqing was right. It was due to her negligence in management that she hired the wrong person and trusted the wrong person. Otherwise, things like today would not have happened. No matter how hard she tried to defend herself, it would be in vain.

"Snapped!"

Chu Yu slapped Lisa on the face: "You bastard, you didn't report such a big thing to my concubine. Not only did you cause the people of Li to suffer from hunger, but you actually accepted bribes in private... Someone, drag this cheap maid away." Go down and chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

"The side concubine doesn't want it, Wangfei, I beg you, my servant, please spare my life..."

"Okay, it's useless to say this now. You must be punished, but not now. Now is the time when we need people. If you die, I will have one less labor force and I will have to worry about where to bury you."

After hearing this, Lisa turned from sadness to joy, and banged her head several times at Xu Ruqing: "Thank you Princess for not killing me, thank you Princess..."

"You can't escape the death penalty. As for the punishment in the future, it will depend on your performance in this disaster relief."

Xu Ruqing looked at Chu Yu with indifferent eyes: "As for the side concubine, you should be the boss and not strict with your own people. I don't care whose hands the disaster money falls into, nor how you deal with those who embezzled from it. Since it is your omission, it will be blamed on you, and the losses caused by today's results will be deducted from your monthly money. You also have no right to control the porridge in the future, I will make other plans."

"let's go."

Chu Yu could only watch Xu Ruqing walk past him, not daring to speak out.

What can she say? Facts speak louder than words. Any further words will only make her more criticized.

"It's all your fault, you bitch, for making me lose face!" Chu Yu had no choice but to vent all his anger on Lisa.

Lisa knelt in the mud and huddled up, silently enduring the violent punches and kicks.

"The subordinates have explained in advance that the princess is coming, and everything has been prepared. Please, the princess."

Xu Ruqing followed Xuan Yu's lead to a relatively empty and quiet open space. A large tent was set up in the open space. When she walked in, she saw that the facilities inside were complete. All the furniture was arranged according to the specifications of Yelan Pavilion's dormitory, allowing her to As soon as I came here, I felt a bit like I was back home.Even the bunch of tea flowers on the bedside made her sleep uneasy at night. The flowers had a soothing and hypnotic effect, so Xu Ruqing kept some in a vase and placed them on the bedside. Unexpectedly, they were also found here.

Xu Ruqing walked straight to the bed and touched the warm golden brocade quilt, "Xuan Yu, please pay attention to the situation with Concubine Chu. She has been embarrassed by what happened today. She will definitely find a way to make those people suffer bad consequences. Eat, I want to know who embezzled the calamity money. Xuan Qing, go and find Zhiqu for me."

"Yes." The two ghostly figures quickly disappeared.

"Princess, the account books you requested are all on the table."

"Well, you've traveled with me for a long time, so you should go down and take care of yourself."

There was almost no chance to breathe along the way, and the weather was hot and humid. Qiu Ju's body was already dripping with sweat, so she really needed a good wash. "Thank you, Princess, that servant will leave first."

Xu Ruqing came to the table and sat down, flipping through the thick account books and checking the accounts carefully. The appearance of a cockroach in the sun meant that there were too many places to squeeze in the dark, so she had to check it carefully.

Su Yichen was very willing to go through this disaster smoothly. No matter how much other local officials donated for disaster relief, they only had a maximum limit of 1 taels. He directly allocated [-] taels in one go, which was dozens of times more than others.

This amount of money is more than enough to feed and drink the victims, and to build new houses for them.

"Idiot Su Yichen, just throw money away, but you don't even know that your own money has gone into other people's pockets!" Xu Ruqing angrily put down the last account book. At least half of the unaccounted money, especially the two big items of clothing and food The accounting is full of loopholes.

Slight flaws in other aspects can be tolerated, but at the critical moment, food is the most important thing for the people. How can the victims survive without enough food to eat?

"Are you scolding me?"

Xu Ruqing was startled. Su Yichen appeared behind him at some point, "Why did you appear so silently?"

"You were too involved and didn't notice me coming."

Su Yichen gently hugged Xu Ruqing's waist from behind, breathing heavily, "What did you scold me just now?"

"My lord, you heard me wrong. How could I scold you? Even if you gave me ten courages, I wouldn't dare."

"Are you still cowardly? Why do I think you are so courageous? Otherwise, you wouldn't disobey and run outside again and again, regardless of the danger."

Thinking of how embarrassed she was when she was almost torn apart by wolves that day, Xu Ruqing curled her lips and said nothing.

"How is it, are you feeling better?"

"Don't worry, it's much better. Also, I made the decision to dismiss Chu Yu without permission. You won't blame me, right?"

"I have heard about everything that happened in the morning. Since you know it well, you don't need to ask me for my opinion. I will leave it all to you. I have to deal with both the government and the opposition and always pay attention to the war situation on the border. I really don't have the skills to do the same thing. The embezzlement of disaster funds is mysterious. I started checking him a few days ago and I believe I have some clues. I will ask him to come see you later."

Xu Ruqing nodded: "Yes."

"Don't call me an idiot next time. After all, if I am an idiot, then you are not the idiot's wife."

Xu Ruqing laughed: "Come on, I'm not the wife of an idiot."
