Chapter 55
Especially Princess Pingning, who squeezed the veil tightly tightly, making her whole body stiffen.

The old lady and Jiang Shu both looked at her calmly.

Princess Pingning noticed Jiang Shu's sizing up, and straightened his back, and then Jiang Shu said lightly: "Take the things back to the mansion first, and take a look!"

On the way back, Princess Pingning was uneasy.

When getting off the carriage, he sprained his foot and jumped forward.

Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Shu, who was a few feet away from her, suddenly flashed, and reached out to support her firmly.

Princess Pingning was a little stunned, and instinctively wanted to push Jiang Shu away.

Jiang Shu was one step ahead of her, retreated a few steps, returned to Su Luo's side, and said, "Mother must stand firm, if you fall at the door of the house, it will be a joke if it spreads!"

Su Luo turned his head and glanced at the man beside him.

Although his words were weak, she could feel that his heart was surging at the moment.

He must have felt very sad that the Lord Pingning pushed him away just now.

Princess Pingning gritted her teeth and squeezed out between the teeth: "Thank you for helping me just now!"

Jiang Shu's eyes dimmed, and soon returned to normal: "Mother, don't need to see outsiders!"

As soon as they crossed the threshold, a fat figure rushed out and threw herself into Princess Pingning's arms: "Mother, I heard that you are all going out to do interesting things today, why don't you take me with you? People are bored to death at home!"

Princess Pingning touched the little fat man's head lovingly: "You have finished your homework today, there are no rules, your grandmother is still here, why don't you say hello?"

As she said that, she looked Jiang Ye up and down, her face darkened: "What do you think of the young master, the trouser legs of the young master are all dirty, where did they fall or rubbed against each other, if you don't think about it, Later, I will find someone to sell you out!"

The girls and servants following Jiang Ye immediately fell to their knees.

Jiang Ye hurriedly said, "Mother, I was the one who was careless just now, don't blame them!"

Then, he bent his fat waist and saluted the old lady: "Grandmother, grandson didn't see you just now, grandson was rude!"

Although the old lady didn't like Jiang Ye as much as she liked Jiang Shu, she was her own grandson after all, and she replied kindly, "It doesn't matter, you don't have to be so restrained in front of grandma!"

Jiang Ye didn't relax because of this sentence, and turned to Jiang Shu and Su Luo to salute: "Brother, sister-in-law! Brother, can I play chess with you in a few days? I recently got a new game record."

Jiang Shu responded lightly, and Su Luo smiled at him friendly.

When Jiang Ye saw his brother agreeing, his eyes lit up and he smiled happily.

Princess Pingning got upset when she saw that her son was so stupid, unable to tell the difference between the enemy and me, and waved his hands: "Go down and continue studying, my grandmother and mother still have business to talk about!"

She was already wondering if she should tell her stupid son about that important secret.

Back and forth like this, it was already afternoon.

The kitchen prepared meals, and after everyone had eaten at the same table, the old lady didn't take a nap, so someone directly brought Guanshi Zhang up.

Jiang Yang went down with a bucket of cold water, and Guanshi Zhang, who was unconscious, woke up.

His body was shaking constantly, and he prostrated himself on the ground and wept bitterly: "Old lady, I have been deceived by lard, please, for my mother's sake, please forgive me this time, I have seniors and subordinates!" I beg you, please, please!"

The old lady said sharply: "Do you think I will still trust you? Stop acting. I have always trusted you and decided to turn a blind eye. I never thought that your heart would be so greedy. ! If I don’t teach you a lesson, others will think that our Duke’s Mansion is really kind and easy to deceive!”

Seeing that the old lady's side couldn't work, Manager Zhang kowtowed in the direction of Su Luo: "Young lady, I blame Zhang San for not being able to see Mount Tai, and for being disrespectful to you. Please forgive me this time. In the future, I will be a cow and a horse to repay you, and I will be your servant in the next life!"

Su Luo laughed lightly: "Forget it, I can't afford a moth like you!"

Guanshi Zhang turned to Jiang Shu's direction again, although his scalp was numb, but his life was at stake: "His Royal Highness, I beg you to have a large number of adults, and spare the little one this time!"

If it is confiscated to Jing Zhaoyin, even if that lord has a hand that reaches the sky, the Duke's Mansion is not easy to deal with. If there is no physical evidence before, that person can naturally fish him out. Now that he has all the stolen goods, he is considered dead!

Because originally he could use these silver coins in exchange for his own life.

Now that the money is gone, what can he do to get that person to save him.

Jiang Shu glanced at him lightly and waved his hand.

The maids and servants retreated in a single file.

There was no expression on the man's extremely beautiful face: "Grandmother, Guanshi Zhang can't send Jing Zhaoyin away, he has to deal with it in the mansion!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of breathing in the room, and even Su Luo looked at the man in astonishment.

The old lady pondered for a moment: "The amount he is greedy for is indeed not a pity to die! But..."

An angry and fierce light burst out of Zhang Guanshi's eyes: "You have no right to kill me. I am not a slave of the Duke's mansion. Even if I am corrupt, I can only be confiscated to the government! At most, I will be imprisoned for the rest of my life. Die! You can't kill me!"

This is also the concern of the old lady.

Guanshi Zhang is not a cat or a dog on the side of the road, and he can't be killed casually.

Jiang Shu looked at Guanshi Zhang with a cold gaze: "You have coveted 20 taels of silver in total, but in your small treasury, we only found 8 taels. Where did the rest go? According to your booklet superior……"

Having said this, Jiang Shu raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Pingning.

Princess Pingning's heart trembled, her face turned pale, and her hands under the sleeves were tightly twisted together, trying not to let herself show timidity.

Jiang Shu's mouth curled up into a slight smile, and he continued: "It is written in your booklet that in the past ten years, you have given A a total of 5000 taels, and the remaining 8 taels have been given to B. Now you Tell me, who is this B? In addition to taking the silver from the Duke's mansion, what else did you take away for him, say!"

There was a cold light in Jiang Shu's eyes, Zhang Guanshi only felt that his gaze was like a sharp knife, wanting to open his brain and dig out all the things he hid.

As soon as Jiang Shu said this, Princess Pingning heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that the old man used a code name. As long as he didn't clearly write his name, he would be safe.

Different from her sudden relaxation, the old lady's eyes shrank.

The Jiang family is a general.

This is doomed, it will have a higher risk factor than ordinary officials.

Corruption of ink is a small matter, but betrayal is a major matter.

If the person behind this piece of management asked him to help hide some prohibited items in the paper workshop, and then took the opportunity to search them out.

Just thinking about it, the old lady's back was covered with cold sweat.

Jiang Shu nestled comfortably on the chair, took out an unusually sharp dagger from nowhere, and wiped it slowly: "Tell the person behind you, and I can save your life, and all your property now, I will I won’t take it away, if you don’t tell me…”

As the man said, he flicked the dagger backhand, and the dagger went straight to Guanshi Zhang's face as fast as a stream of light.
