Chapter 310
  The shopkeeper of the Yinlou stood up and said, "I also know this girl. At that time, someone from Prince Ning's Mansion said that Concubine Zhao was going to be the culprit in entering the palace on New Year's Eve. However, the relationship between our Silver House and the Prince's Mansion is clean, and the culprit was Miss Qin. Now that I'm gone, I personally delivered the receipt to the palace."

"Look at your store's account books. How many receipts have you given to the palace over the years? Check them one by one."

Ning Muqing ordered.

This time the shopkeeper of the silver house also brought a full set of account books. He flipped through the pages and said, "This year it is 2,350 taels, and the second year is 3,080 taels. There are also new jewelry every quarter, and the prices are It will be slightly lower,
  I once told Accountant Li that Prince Ning’s Mansion is our big customer. Concubine Zhao’s jewelry is always made in our silver shop, and the price is much cheaper than others.

Princess, I swear on my conscience that I have never falsely reported prices, nor have I received any kickbacks. Our bank has always done business in a disciplined manner, and what others do has nothing to do with us! "

"Accountant Li, I remember that in your account book, every time the bank's accounting is inconsistent, where is the receipt?"

Ning Muqing's cold eyes immediately glanced at Accountant Li's face.

"This...this document is usually brought back by the person who takes the goods. Miss Tingqin didn't bring the receipt, and I didn't ask. I have no memory of the follow-up documents..."

Accountant Li has been a powerful figure in the palace for a long time, but he never thought that one day he would meet someone like Ning Muqing who was investigating to the end. At this moment, he could be said to be on the verge of tears.

Why does Ning Muqing have the feeling that Bao Zheng is aware of every detail and doesn't miss the slightest detail?

This is the place where the laws and regulations of Yinlou Dazhou are the strictest, and it is recognized that there is no way to fake it.

If something goes wrong at all, it will be shut down directly. Therefore, no bank storekeeper is willing to give up his wealth for the kickback for making false accounts.

Unable to forge, Zhao Sijing had no choice but to give up, so she directly asked Accountant Li to throw away the receipt.

But Accountant Li doesn't dare to say that he doesn't have this thing now. The amount he keeps is very large, and he can't remember it clearly. The receipt has never passed Tingqin's hand, so he has to bear the blame for the false accounting alone.

Ning Muqing said coldly, "This document is the most important thing in the accounting process. Sun Accounting has been working for so long, and there has never been a case where a document was lost! Tingqin didn't bring the document back, how can you do the accounting?
  Of course, the shopkeeper might be telling the truth when he said the documents were sent to the palace! However, if this assumption is true, the question arises. Why should you keep accounts if no one gives you a receipt?
  I remember that the amount of silver on the ledger seemed to be more than 6,000 taels. For such a large amount, there is no receipt. Why don't you go to the bank to check it clearly before writing it down? "

Ning Muqing was methodical and pointed out the loopholes one by one.

At this time, Butler Zhou, who had been silent, interjected, "Princess, it's obvious that Tingqin didn't come back with the receipt. The shopkeeper of the bank sent the receipt, but it disappeared inexplicably, but accountant Li still kept the account.

It shows that accountant Li played a very key role in this. Regardless of what role Tingqin played in it, accountant Li embezzled money from the palace for sure. The amount was so large at one time, two years..."

Thinking about the total amount, Butler Zhou trembled. He had never seen so much money in his life.

How rich is their prince? He spends so much money like water, and there is never a time when the palace is short of money.

Butler Zhou suggested, "I think it would be better to search Accountant Li's room. Maybe we can find some evidence."

"Your suggestion is very good. Someone come and search Accountant Li's room for me, and... Jinxiu Garden can't be spared either."

Ning Muqing walks the road vigorously and resolutely.

When Zhao Sijing heard this, her whole face was distorted to the point of deformation.

She stepped forward to stop the guards who were about to dispatch, and shouted, "If you rebel, don't think that you can take the opportunity to bully me when the prince is not here. I guarantee that whoever dares to search my Jinxiu Garden will be punished." Keep walking, and when the prince comes back, I guarantee that all of them will lose their heads."

The palace guards looked at Zhao Sijing's sharp words and suddenly hesitated to step forward.

In any case, it was Zhao Sijing who took charge of the palace for two years before Ning Muqing took charge.

The prince still has some feelings for Zhao Sijing, and if they search for it, they might step on the prince's trap.

She originally thought that Ning Muqing would not dare to continue if she was so frightened by Zhao Sijing. Unexpectedly, seeing how powerful Zhao Sijing was, Ning Muqing became even more determined to find out the matter. She said in a deep voice, "Huh! The more this happens, the more likely it is." The more it proves that there is something wrong with this! Search it for me! After checking it out, it turns out that Concubine Zhao, together with Accountant Li and Tingqin, made false accounts to embezzle money from the Prince Mo. Even if the Prince comes, he will not tolerate it. No corner of Jinxiu Garden will be tolerated. We can’t let it go. If anything happens, I, the princess, will naturally bear the responsibility.”     The servants tend to follow the direction of the palace and are afraid of taking responsibility. With Ning Muqing’s words, they immediately felt confident and started directly from Zhao Sijing. I passed by it and went to search for it myself.

Zhao Sijing deeply felt that her words were useless, and she was trembling with anger, "Sister, you are bullying others too much. You don't allow us to go to the prince, and you block all information to bully me like this. You put the prince and the queen in your eyes." ?"

"I found this big funnel in the palace to show the most respect for the prince. As for the queen, she manages the harem and me but cannot control the management of the inner courtyard of the palace. It is unreasonable for you to use the queen to suppress me. You all see Is it clear? Who is making trouble here?"

Ning Muqing's cold eyes glanced at everyone.

Her purpose is to force these people to see clearly that she is the mistress of the palace now, so that they will know better in the future.

The purpose of killing chickens to scare monkeys is never to kill chickens, but to poke secretly at other people who are restless and eager to try. Ning Muqing used both kindness and power to overthrow Zhao Sijing in order to establish prestige for herself.

She must let the people in the palace know that she, Ning Muqing, is the head of Prince Ning's palace and that Zhao Sijing's era has passed.

From now on, as long as she, Ning Muqing, has orders and requests, these people must behave better and stop turning a deaf ear to her words like before, let alone whispering to her when they see her, acting like they secretly despise her. look like.

At this time, the other servants of the palace seemed to be roasted on an open fire.

They don't know how to choose.

On one side was the princess who had just gained the power of housekeeper, and on the other was the concubine who had been in charge of the palace for two years.

A person like Butler Zhou, who devoted his whole life to the prince and worked hard for his whole life, naturally supported Ning Muqing.

Only by leaning towards justice can the palace be managed well.

But there are also people who help Zhao Sijing. On weekdays, Zhao Sijing makes money, and they, the servants, can naturally get a sip of soup. Some of them can't let go of the money, so they naturally hope that Zhao Sijing can regain power. ""

Who doesn’t like a leader who gives his subordinates extra benefits?

Seeing that most of the people were hesitant and had no intention of expressing their opinions, Ning Muqing sat on a stool, flipping through the ledger lazily, and sneered, "Let's just open the skylight and speak frankly, so as not to make you guess this or that.

From now on, I will be the head of this palace, and I will not be able to rub any dirt in my eyes. If you had any greed for the money of Prince Mo, you'd better put it away and keep your tail between your legs.
  As for the previous ones, as long as you didn't make any principled mistakes, I can let it go. After all, it happened before I took charge of the house. There are still profit-seekers. You can go to Butler Zhou and admit your mistakes yourself.
  As long as the report is truthful and the circumstances are not serious, I can let go of the blame. But from today on, if anyone dares to practice such crooked ways in the palace, or commit the following crimes, don't blame me for being ruthless. "

Everyone listened to Ning Muqing's words with serious expressions, and finally relaxed a little after thinking about it.

They looked at each other with joy at their fellow fishermen, which was really nice.

The princess is so generous and does not pursue the mistakes they made in the past, as long as the circumstances are not serious, she will let things go by the wayside.

As servants, they were not relatives that Zhao Sijing trusted. How could they have the chance to do something serious? On weekdays, the most they could do was steal two kilograms of brown rice from the kitchen.

At this level, it would be a waste of time to report to the princess, and I will definitely not be held accountable.

They feel relieved knowing they won't be held accountable.

Originally, they thought they were going to be put under house arrest by the princess like Zhao Sijing, Accountant Li, and Tingqin, and then asked the Accountant to investigate every detail and hold them accountable one by one. They were scared to death.

After Ning Muqing said these words, they were no longer afraid.
