On the wedding night, the prince asked me to see an andrologist

Chapter 306 Must be cleansed

"Now the person who serves as the housekeeper of the palace is this princess. Even if the King of Heaven agrees that Accountant Li can continue to run errands here, it will be useless. The King of Heaven will still have to listen to me when he comes."

Ning Muqing said with a cold face.

Then she looked at Butler Zhou and asked, "Steward Zhou, how long will it take for this princess to find the former accounting room of the palace and another accounting room that has no accounts linked to the palace?"

Ning Muqing decided to find the old accounting office and reconcile with Accounting Li, and then find another accounting office that was not linked to interests to act as a reviewer.

Speaking of this accounting room, it was also one of the reasons why Butler Zhou was dissatisfied with Zhao Sijing.

In the past, Accountant Sun, who was in charge of the royal family's accounts, had been working for the Su family for generations. Later, Zhao Sijing drove away Accountant Sun, who had been working there all his life, with just one word.

Accountant Sun takes accounts very seriously and never dares to neglect or delay any account.

Before coming to the palace, Concubine Su once recommended Accountant Sun to manage the treasury in front of the late emperor. Later, Concubine Su was worried about the affairs of Prince Chu Lixuan's palace, so she asked Accountant Sun to follow Chu Lixuan out of the palace.

Not only the friendship for so many years, but Accountant Sun is also very meticulous in doing things and never makes any mistakes.

He is capable and deserves Chu Lixuan's trust in him.

But in order to arrange his own manpower, Zhao Sijing actually found something to frame Accountant Sun, and even presented the so-called "irrefutable evidence" to Chu Lixuan.

Chu Lixuan is a person who believes in evidence.

No matter how much he trusted Accountant Sun before, there was evidence before him, and Accountant Sun could not prove his innocence at that time, so Chu Lixuan drove Accountant Sun and his family out of the palace.

Later, Zhao Sijing took the opportunity to advise Chu Lixuan that a distant relative of hers had been a scholar and wanted him to take care of the accounts.

Chu Lixuan did not agree at first, but after Accountant Sun left, the palace's accounts were really in chaos. Chu Lixuan was busy with military affairs and had no time to take care of such trivial matters, so he agreed to Zhao Sijing's persuasion.

……

Ning Muqing didn't know the inside story, but she knew there must be something wrong with the palace's accounts.

Chu Lixuan knew how to fight but couldn't manage a house. Chu Lixuan probably wouldn't pay attention to the little things in life, so he could let Zhao Sijing get away with it.

After staying in the palace for so long, Ning Muqing personally experienced how chaotic the palace's accounts were.

Accountant Li arbitrarily deducted the expenses of her yard, making her a dignified princess who even had to look at others' expressions to eat. However, Zhao Sijing lived a very comfortable life, and was able to maintain extravagant food and clothing expenses despite being grounded.

It was precisely because of his guilty conscience that Accountant Li did not dare to take out the account book.

When Zhao Sijing saw that Ning Muqing insisted on checking the accounts and called the palace's former accountant Sun over, she immediately stopped her angrily and said, "Sister Princess, you can't do things without distinguishing between right and wrong. Accountant Sun embezzled three thousand taels for himself back then.

And he refused to admit it, so the prince angrily kicked him out and said he would never be allowed to return to the palace again. How could you go find him? A housekeeper like you is simply going against the prince. Aren't you afraid that the prince will scold you? "

"Steward Zhou, is the evidence for what Concubine Zhao said conclusive?"

Butler Zhou replied respectfully, "Back to Princess, Accountant Sun kept shouting that he was wronged."

"Since Steward Sun has not confessed yet, and this matter has not been brought before Jingzhao Fuyin, it is probably an unjust, false, and wrongful case. I, the Princess, want to find out about this matter."

Ning Muqing said.

At this moment, a younger student hurried over. He was carrying a lot of things on his back and was sweating profusely. "Princess, I am a servant of the prince's palace. I am usually responsible for helping Li accountant manage the accounts. You sent someone to see the account book, so I hurriedly brought it over."

With that said, the young man took out all the things in his backpack.

He looked out of breath, obviously tired from this matter.

Ning Muqing ordered people to look at the account books and said nothing.

Not long after, Butler Zhou had already found Accountant Sun. Accountant Sun had been working for the Su family for generations. After being kicked out by Chu Lixuan, he refused to accept his fate and simply spent all the savings he had saved over the years. , bought a small courtyard near the palace, and the family lived in the courtyard.

However, Accountant Sun's wish to redress Chu Lixuan's grievances was not easily realized.

In the past two years, Zhao Sijing gave Accountant Sun no chance to get close to Chu Lixuan.

Fortunately, they live close by, so it only takes a few minutes for Ning Muqing to see Accountant Sun.

When Accountant Sun heard that someone from the palace wanted to see him, he was so excited that he ran faster than a horse. He cried and shouted, "Princess, you have to believe me. I am really wronged. Generations of my family have been wronged." In the palace, no one dares to do anything that is unworthy of the palace. How could I betray the prince for three thousand taels of silver? I really don’t know what is going on. Please clear my grievances."

Butler Zhou went to Accountant Sun himself. On the way here, Butler Zhou had told Accountant Sun about what happened, and he also knew that Ning Muqing was now in charge of the palace.

Accountant Sun felt that he was unwilling to go to the grave carrying his grievances after having done what he had done all his life.

He was extremely excited when he heard that the princess wanted to clear her grievances.

Ning Muqing smiled gently and said in a calm tone, "Uncle Sun, don't worry. Since I called you back, I will definitely investigate this matter. The people from the palace just told me the specific situation. You have been an accountant all your life and have never made any mistakes. I believe you will never do anything illegal. If you find out that someone framed you, I will definitely help you clear your grievances."

Accountant Sun suddenly burst into tears, nodded and said, "Princess, you are sensible and aware of everything. If I really had the intention of betraying the master and wanted to enrich myself, I would have done it long ago."

"Accountant Sun, don't quibble when you get in front of the princess. What is going on is placed in front of you. Before this concubine married in, you were always in charge of the accounts of the palace.
  I only know that as the accountant, you have a lot of things in your hands. As long as you do whatever you want, you can take away a lot of money from the palace, and no one will say anything.
  I don’t care about those old bad debts in the past with you anymore. In short, the fact that you embezzled three thousand taels two years ago has all the witnesses and physical evidence. No one framed you for anything? "

Zhao Sijing said coldly from the side.

"Concubine, I always keep an account and keep track of my expenses and income. I really don't know when the expenditure of three thousand came out.

Moreover, when I looked at the account book at that time, the three thousand silver taels were not written in my handwriting. They were obviously added by others. I have always wanted to make my grievances clear to the prince.
  But the concubine held my head and wanted to drive me out, and she wouldn't let me see the prince. I couldn't find him even if I tried to find him. Princess, you must make the decision for me. "

Accountant Sun's face turned red and his neck thickened. A lot of older people were still very angry when they mentioned this matter.

Ning Muqing said calmly, "Where is the account book at that time? Bring it over and show it to me."

Accountant Li had been beaten unconscious. Hearing this, he raised his head and wanted to do something, but someone had already taken the lead.

"Go back to your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to take a look at this place." Upon hearing Ning Muqing's instructions, the handsome young man immediately found one from a pile of account books, handed it to Ning Muqing and said, "My Majesty, this is The first account Master Li showed me when I came to the palace, the handwriting on it was indeed different from Uncle Sun's usual, as if it had been added separately."

Zhao Sijing immediately said, "You're talking nonsense. I'm obviously the same as you. These three thousand taels were embezzled by Accountant Sun. What's your motive in arguing with him? Or are you also deceived by Accountant Sun's pitiful appearance?" "

"Concubine Zhao, why do you have to fight against an old man like me! I really have never done such a thing."

Uncle Sun was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

Ning Muqing hurriedly comforted him, "Uncle Sun, don't worry, let me check the account book. Don't worry, I'm here."
