Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 1163 Wanjin Pavilion

After sending Feng Qian and the others away, Liu Shangshu closed the door in a panic, and called the servant girl into the study to interrogate her carefully.

"Her Majesty the Queen came to the mansion, did she say anything and ask something?"

The servant girl replied: "Her Majesty the Queen came to visit Madam and brought some tonics."

Liu Shangshu asked again: "Aside from sending tonics, did you say anything else? You tell me the whole process, don't miss a single word."

The servant girl didn't understand why her lord was so nervous, so she recounted the previous incident in detail, and finally said: "Your Majesty claims to be a female official from the palace, and she came to visit Madam on His Majesty's order, and then chatted with Madam for a few minutes. Just a word, and left. When I left the yard, His Majesty was attracted by the sound of birds, so he entered your room, and then you came back, my lord... I really don’t know that she is Her Majesty the Queen!"

After listening to Liu Shangshu, his brows were deeply frowned: "Your Majesty, she claims to be a female official?"

Maid: "Yes."

Liu Shangshu asked again: "Madam doesn't know that she is Her Majesty the Queen?"

Maid: "Yes, my lord."

Liu Shangshu pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter is not allowed to be mentioned to Madam! Also, if His Majesty comes again in the future, shut your mouth and don't talk nonsense, you understand?"

The servant girl nodded her head and said, "Yes, my lord."

After instructing the servant girl, Liu Shangshu hurried back to his room to see Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu was overjoyed to see Liu Shangshu and asked: "Officer, why did you come back so early today? Have you eaten yet? I will ask Xia He to cook for you." After speaking, she was about to get up, and was pressed down by Liu Shangshu.

Liu Shangshu sat on the side of the bed and held Mrs. Liu's hand and said: "There are few things in the yamen today, I finished my official duties early, and I was thinking about my wife, so I rushed back early."

Mrs. Liu was overjoyed and said, "Today, a female official came to the house. You have seen the official."

Liu Shangshu's eyes twinkled: "I see."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "This female official came to visit me at the order of His Majesty, and brought me a lot of tonics. Our new Majesty is so caring and considerate to his subjects, he must be a good Majesty who loves the people like a son. "

There was bitterness in Liu Shangshu's eyes: "Ma'am is right."

Mrs. Liu didn't notice the difference, and continued: "If the officials see His Majesty, they must thank His Majesty for me. And the lady officer, thank her too."

Liu Shangshu lowered his head and was distracted, looking preoccupied.

Mrs. Liu was worried about Liu Shangshu, and said with concern: "Officer, what's bothering you about the yamen?"

Liu Shangshu came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "It's not about the yamen, it's because I met a famous doctor recently. The common people say that he has superb medical skills and rejuvenation. I want to take you to have a look. Maybe he can cure your illness." .”

Mrs. Liu quickly pushed: "Officer, there's no need. I've got old problems, it's okay. The family doesn't have much money, so don't waste it in vain."

Liu Shangshu said: "This doctor is a very kind person, and he doesn't charge money for medical consultations. I will hire a carriage to take you there tomorrow."

"But..." Mrs. Liu still wanted to evade, but Liu Shangshu interrupted her.

"That's it, madam, don't refuse any more." After speaking, he turned and left.

Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Shangshu's back, feeling melancholy in her heart, if she wasn't sick, how good would it be?
When Feng Qian returned to the palace, the leader of Feng Ying had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time. When she saw her coming, she immediately went forward to report.

"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, I secretly investigated Liu Shangshu and found that Liu Shangshuge is dedicated to his duties and diligent in government affairs. He is well-known in the eyes of officials and people. He is a clean and upright person. I heard that he and Mrs. Liu also Very affectionate, respect each other as guests, never go to Huajie Liuxiang..."

Feng Qian squinted her eyes: "So, he is not only a good official, but also a good man?"

The leader of Fengying replied: "At first, this subordinate also thought so! But no one is perfect, the more perfect, the more likely to hide something, so, this subordinate changed his mind, from the list mentioned in the pleadings. The officials started to investigate, and found clues."

Feng Qian raised her eyebrows: "Continue talking!"

"My subordinates found out that these officials had mediocre achievements in the past, but they were promoted to important official positions. Although some official positions were not high, they were vacancies. After further investigation, my subordinates found that the person who helped these officials get promoted was Liu Shangshu. I am an official promoted by him!"

Feng Qian pondered: "You mean, Liu Shangshu took advantage of his power to sell officials to those officials who bribed him?"

The leader of Fengying said affirmatively: "According to the investigation of my subordinates, the things stated in the pleadings should be true."

"But, if he was really corrupt, where did all the money he got go?" Feng Qian was puzzled, "He has a close relationship with his wife, and his wife is so seriously ill, if he is really corrupt, After spending so much money, why didn't he pay a doctor to treat his wife? It's unreasonable!"

The leader of Fengying replied: "My subordinates also found a clue. Liu Shangshu will go to the Wanjin Pavilion every month."

This sentence suddenly aroused Feng Qian's curiosity: "Where is the Wanjin Pavilion? Why have I never heard of it."

"Returning to Your Majesty, this Wanjin Pavilion is one of the famous chambers of commerce in the imperial capital. There is one of their branches in Linglong City. Any product in the chamber of commerce is worth ten thousand gold, so Wanjin Pavilion is also called "selling gold." cave."

"Liu Shangshu goes to Wanjin Pavilion every month, what did he buy?"

"I don't know about this subordinate." Leader Fengying then explained, "The purchase and sale of goods by the guests of the Wanjin Pavilion is all confidential, in order to protect the privacy of the guests."

"Why don't you continue to investigate?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the master behind the Wanjin Pavilion has a close relationship with the imperial capital. Queen Yunshu once warned her subordinates that although Linglong City is the territory of Dayan, there are still a few places that cannot be touched. Wanjin The Pavilion is one of them. Following the clues, the subordinates found the Wanjin Pavilion, but they couldn't go any further."

After listening to Feng Ying's leader's remarks, Feng Qian became even more curious about this Wanjin Pavilion. Even the top hidden guards in Feng Ying couldn't find out, and even Queen Yunshu was so afraid of it. What kind of magical place?And what business did Liu Shangshu go to Wanjin Pavilion?
"Wanjin Pavilion?" Feng Qian's eyes sparkled, and she pursed her lips and said, "I want to see what kind of dragon's lake and tiger's lair it is."

The leader of Fengying persuaded: "Think twice, Your Majesty, we don't know what's going on in Wanjin Pavilion, Your Majesty must not put yourself in danger."

"I know it well, and I won't act rashly. You should pay attention to the whereabouts of this Liu Shangshu. If there is nothing else, just retreat first."

"Yes." Leader Feng Ying exited the imperial study after finishing speaking, leaving Feng Qian alone in thought.
