Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 182 You Are Bullying Me 2
Although Ming Xuanyu asked him to go to the household department, he did a good job, and everyone praised him, and Ming Xuanyu himself praised King Ning in front of all the officials.However, all these reputations came to an end on the second day of October.

Even if the iceberg has no sharp corners, there will be abnormal water flow around it. As long as people observe carefully enough, they will always find these abnormalities.

On the second day of October, Wei Yusheng, who had been sent to Ning County to fetch Xinyi's father Zhuang Yi'an as a pawn, returned, and the pawn he got back was two old, even tattered account books.Xinyi was also very surprised, why did his father keep such account books so carefully?She couldn't understand what was written on it, so she had to wait to see Ming Xuanyu and show it to him.

What Xinyi didn't understand was why his expression became more and more solemn, and why his face became more and more blue.

"What's the matter? What the hell is this?" she asked uneasily.

He turned his head and stared at her. She became even more frightened and asked, "Don't scare me, isn't it just an account book? What's wrong with you?"

He was silent for a moment, and said in a low tone: "I'm afraid someone else killed your parents!"

She was worried about him, but after hearing what he said, she didn't know what to say.

"These two books are enough to be a reason for someone to kill someone!" He held her trembling hand.

"This is, where is this account book, why, why is this happening?" Her voice was also trembling.

She thought that the Zhao family did that thing, and that after the Zhao family related people were dealt with, the past would be over, but she didn't expect, she didn't expect such a thing to happen!

"Before I told you that there was a problem with Ningjun's accounts and money and food, right! Zhang Chongying and Zuo Tong suspected that those account books were fake, but we didn't know where the real account books were. Moreover, we didn't find any Before the real account book, all our conjectures are just possibilities, and we don't know whether they are facts." He told her about his analysis, but found that her hands were getting colder and colder.

"Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call the imperial doctor?" He asked worriedly.

She shook her head and said, "Go on!"

"Are you really okay?" he asked again.

"It's okay, tell me, I want to hear it!" Although she didn't want to uncover that scar again, the truth was waiting for her to uncover, and she knew that she had to face it again.

"Prince Ning is thoughtful. If he really wants to usurp the throne and dares to come back to live in the capital, it means that he has already prepared for it. He is not afraid of being caught by me. He must be very confident about this. So, this means that he has already hidden everything. Unless it is the moment to do it, he will never show any clues for me to catch. Moreover, he has been in the capital for so long, and I have not noticed it at all. His anomaly."

She nodded, then listened to him.

"Prince Ning and his son have been in business for many years, and they have kept their secrets so tightly, but they never expected that there would be omissions. And once this account book is circulated, it will be enough to kill them! I think it's because they are afraid, they will-- ’ He squeezed her hand tightly while hers curled up.

She lowered her head and remained silent.

Even in his arms, she did not shed a single tear.Facing the sadness of the past, she has learned to be strong.

"It turns out that my father was killed because of something like this! This account book is so important, no wonder, no wonder he wants to hide it in the self-clearing longevity lock! Sigh!" She raised her head, but there was a faint smile on her face. , "If Xi'er hadn't been naughty, I'm afraid I would never have opened that lock!"

"I'll ask them to check this account book after dawn. That matter—" before he finished speaking, she said: "It doesn't matter, the big thing is important. As long as this account book can catch King Ning, my family and they will too." Smiling Jiuquan! Don't worry about me, after so many things, I can afford this. Don't worry!"

He nodded and embraced her.

At this moment, he really hoped that this would be the last catastrophe. He hoped that after this time, there would be no more turmoil in the whole country, so that he could govern the world with peace of mind and realize his ambitions.However, he is very clear that before that day comes, he still has a lot of things to do.

Just when King Ning Ming Jiayi carefully dealt with the emperor's suspicion, on the seventh day of October, Fang Xin took people to the yamen of the Ministry of Households to read the emperor's oral order, saying that some cases require King Ning to assist in the investigation and invite King Ning to return to the mansion.King Ning was suspicious, what could happen?Could it be that the emperor doubted himself?

Fang Xin quickly explained: "Actually, it's not a big case. Just a while ago, when the Shence Army was patrolling, they caught a thief and found some things belonging to you, the prince. Commander Ye reported directly to the emperor." Over there, the emperor said that your lord, you are an important minister of the court, and you must be careful when you are involved, so as not to hurt this brotherhood!"

Hearing this, Ming Jiayi immediately dispelled the doubts just now, and quickly said some words of gratitude to Fang Xin, and then returned to the palace with Fang Xin.

"Lord Fang, what the emperor wants to ask, you can just speak up! I will tell you the truth, and I will never lie!" Ming Jiayi said.

Fang Xin cupped his hands with a smile and said: "My lord, you are welcome!" After finishing speaking, he signaled his subordinates to bring up a cloth bag. Fang Xin opened it in front of King Ning and said, "These are two account books, which have been checked by the household department. , This records the tax and expenditure situation of Ning County 12 years ago. Please take a look at it, my lord!"

Ming Jiayi felt uneasy, took it from Fang Xin's hand carefully, and carefully flipped through it. It was indeed the seal of Prince Ning's Mansion.

"This account book is so dilapidated that even the king can't recognize it!" Ming Jiayi read a few pages carefully, and Fang Xin said.

"My lord, you won't be so forgetful! If I remember correctly, 12 years ago, my lord, you had already handled the affairs of Ningjun as the son of the prince. It is said that you dealt with everything carefully. How could you take care of everything?" Have you forgotten such an important record?" Fang said.

Ming Jiayi smiled lightly, and replied: "Master Fang's words are true, only because the father is in poor health and unable to manage the government, this king stepped in to take care of it. However, there are so many internal affairs in the kingdom, and this king does not see each other. You have to handle everything yourself, and you may not know everything. My lord, don’t you think so?”

Fang Xin nodded with a smile and said: "What the prince said is true! Although Fang Xin is a warrior, he also knows that this financial matter is a major issue for the country. How can you ignore the finance and taxation when you act as an agent for the affairs of the vassal state?"

Ming Jiayi asked back: "My lord thinks this king is lying?"

"How dare you, my subordinate! I just mentioned some possibilities! Please forgive me for offending my lord?" Fang Xin got up and saluted.

Seeing him like this, Ming Jiayi no longer struggled, and said: "My lord is also asking questions by order, how can I blame this king?"

"Thank you, my lord!" Fang Xin saluted, "Since you said you didn't know, my lord, can you allow me to ask your housekeeper and accountant?"

Ming Jiayi pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "That's natural, please feel free to ask, my lord, Prince Ning's Mansion will definitely cooperate fully!" After finishing speaking, he asked the housekeeper accompanying him to follow Fang Xin's request and take people to accept the inquiry .

Fang Xin saluted and thanked him, and followed the housekeeper.

When Fang Xin left, Ming Jiayi's originally clear face immediately darkened, and he said to the man in white behind him, "Wuchen, after going to night, go over there and ask about this matter. If the situation is not right, immediately start to arrange that matter." !"

Wuchen took the order, but Ming Jiayi asked: "Where did this account book come from? Didn't you search Zhuang Yi'an at that time? Didn't you find nothing?"

"Yes, my subordinates dare not lie to the lord. At that time, my subordinates searched all of Zhuang Yi'an's belongings, and found no account books at all!" Wu Chen was also worried that he would be suspected by King Ning and cause trouble to him, so he hurriedly explained.

Ming Jiayi got up and paced, glanced at him, and said, "I believe you. But this account book is now in the hands of the emperor. If he sends Fang Xin to ask this again, I'm afraid the emperor knows more than this." More. It seems that there is no way to wait any longer!"

"Don't worry, my lord, as soon as it gets dark, the subordinates will go to the princess mansion!" Wu Chen said.

Ming Jiayi nodded, thinking: "Could this matter have something to do with Zhuang Xinyi? Could it have flowed out of her hands?"

Wu Chen replied: "Probably not, she and her younger brother seem to have not known these things at all these years. If they knew, why did they come out today? Xinyi," Wu Chen just said the name, and found that King Ning Staring at herself, she quickly changed her words, "Concubine Yi probably didn't know about it. Otherwise, she wouldn't think that the Zhao family killed her parents!"

Ming Jiayi sneered and said: "No matter who is sent to kill, isn't it you who did it in the end?"

No dust and no words.

"Wuchen, both my father and this king believe in your loyalty to Prince Ning's mansion. It's just that you didn't kill Zhuang Xinyi and her younger brother, but took care of them like that. Hmph, this king doesn't understand!" Ming Jiayi said, "Could it be that when you saw Zhuang Xinyi when you went to kill someone, you were moved with compassion?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

Ming Jiayi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, this king will not pursue the past. What's more, it is also the meaning of the palace to ask you to send Zhuang Xinyi to the Zhao family. Judging from the current ending, it is very important to drive the Zhao family away. I really relied on Zhuang Xinyi to leave the imperial court. This matter is also a credit to you, and this king will remember it!"

Thank you Wuchen.

But Ming Jiayi said: "Wuchen, I trust you so much, but I don't want you to ruin yourself for that woman! Don't disappoint me!"

Wuchen raised his head, met Shangming Jiayi's gloomy eyes, kowtowed quickly and said, "Wuchen vows to live up to the prince!"

"This king knows, you can go after nightfall, be careful." Ming Jiayi said.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!" Wu Chen took the order and resigned.

However, Ming Jiayi at this time had already foreseen the coming bloody storm.

When King Ning was at home, on the eighth day of November, Ming Xuanyu was poisoned and fell into a coma...

All of a sudden, there was chaos in the court!

The imperial court, which just ended the party struggle, has once again become precarious and in danger!
