The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 249
"Father doesn't know yet, too many clans are involved in this, and Father will definitely be furious when he finds out." Fourth Prince Chu Qiankang said with a sad face.

Zhang Tan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, also shook his head and sighed beside him.

The eighth prince, Chu Qiansi, felt that something was wrong, and said without answering: "Fourth brother, I have to inform the other brothers to leave first." He got up and left without mentioning the matter of borrowing the house.

Seeing Chu Qiansi leave, Chu Qiankang was a little disappointed. He and Zhang Tan looked at each other and looked at one of the account books together.

Zhang Tan dipped in the tea and wrote the word "hu" on the table.

Chu Qiankang shook his head, dipped in the tea and wrote the word "Luan" on the table.

After careful consideration, Zhang Tan nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, I think so."

Zhang Tan personally sent the account books originally belonging to the Imperial City Division to the Ministry of Accounts, and asked the Ministry of Accounts to assist in checking the accounts. The reason was that no one in the Ministry of Punishment would read the accounts.

Faced with such an obvious lie, Hubu Shangshu Wang Qiushan's heart ached.

"Zhang Shangshu, you are breaking the rules like this. The Ministry of Criminal Justice is investigating the case, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is also involved. Is it wrong for you to ask us to check the account books?"

Zhang Tan went all out and said: "Wang Shangshu, this is a major case hand-picked by His Majesty, and requires the full cooperation of the Ministry of Accounts and the Department of the Imperial City. If there is a problem with the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, I will also ask the Department of the Imperial City to cooperate with the review. Wang Shangshu, don't shirk, I will report to His Majesty for the record at this time."

Zhang Tan insisted on keeping the account book, but Wang Qiushan had no way to refuse, and he couldn't beat Zhang Tan out, so he took Zhang Tan and sent the account book to the merchant's study.

As a newly established department, Hangshang Study Room is fully responsible for managing thirteen markets in the capital, as well as privately opened large and small shops scattered inside and outside the capital.

Since the opening of the market control, people in the capital can open shops in front of and behind their houses, and there is an endless stream of people going to the merchant's study every day to go through the formalities.Previously, there were a few families who did not go to the Xingshang Study Room to go through the formalities, and did not receive the deeds issued by the Xingshang Study Room. All the goods in the shop were confiscated by the patrolmen, and the boss was even beaten.After killing chickens and police monkeys several times, no one dared to take advantage of the loopholes and save dozens of dollars in business tax.

In order to prevent someone from forging the business contract, the contract is printed in the craftsman's department, covered with layers of positive and dark patterns, and the patterns are so beautiful that it is impossible for the private printing and study room to imitate it.

The previously planned stamp duty also started to be collected. Wang Qiushan wanted to collect the tax at 21, but was pushed back by the sixteenth prince, Chu Qianping, who set the tax rate at 31.Some merchants have already gone to the yamen of Xingshang Study to apply for notarization. So far, no one has asked Xingshang Study to uphold justice. It can be seen that the credibility of the government is still very strong.

When Wang Qiushan and Zhang Tan came in, Chu Qianping was pulling An Lu to talk: "You are telling me, the secret of the Foot Shaoyang Jing cultivation, I feel that I have improved my cultivation in the past few days."

An Lu said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness will know when you go back to the book, it's all written on the third page."

"The book is too general, I still want to hear your explanation."

Chu Qianping's friendship is too strong, even a fool can see that he is interested in An Lu, which makes An Lu very embarrassed, but she vowed to follow the princess for the rest of her life.

An Lu hid a few times, but Chu Qianping was still stalking. The colleagues in the study were used to this scene, and they were all busy with their own jobs.

Liu Jinjiang, who was sorting out the files, was the first to see the two senior ministers coming in, got up and came out to greet him, and other people in the study also stood up to greet him.

An Lu also came to greet her, it would be nice if she could get rid of Chu Qianping for a while.

Without Wang Qiushan's words, Zhang Tan put the account book on a table and said: "This is the account book of the imperial court's ink corruption case." He now took out the account department before continuing to introduce the situation, "Please also His Highness the Sixteenth and your lords Only after checking out the contents of it can I report to His Majesty the Holy Judgment."

"Let me take a look first." In order to show off in front of An Lu, Chu Qianping reached out and picked up the account book.

Zhang Tan secretly smiled: "Finally found a good one."

An Lu lowered her head by the side, always feeling awkward in her heart, and when she got home at night, she reported the whole story to Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing didn't ask about the account books, but asked Nian Ci beside her, "Are there many women in His Highness Sixteen's family?"

"There are two concubines." Nian Ci replied.

"Princess, they bullied me." An Lu's face turned red all of a sudden.

Shangguan Qing is not a corrupt person, she was lucky to meet Chu Qianhan, but she doesn't expect that all the men in the world will have a couple for life, finding a good man to marry is the best way out for a girl's family.

She also likes An Lu very much, and she wants to find a good family for her.

And now that An Lu has comprehended the vitality, it is no longer important to restrict women's family status to concubines. Even if An Lu is married to Chu Qianping as a concubine, it is also possible.

In Shangguan Qing's place, An Lu was not her servant girl, but her disciple of Shangguan Qing.

Strictly speaking, Zhuqing and the others are all disciples of Shangguan Qing. When Shangguan Qing asked them to manage the internal affairs of the Craftsmanship Division, she publicly said that they just didn't apply for the gift of rank. The emperor has always refused to agree, otherwise Shangguan Qing would Within the scope of power, give each of them a command.

Shangguan Qing took An Lu's hand and said: "Girls always want to marry. Look at me. Before, I wanted to live my whole life by myself, but I ended up marrying Qian Han. Now you are old enough. You should also find a good family, I think His Royal Highness Sixteen is a nice person, very down-to-earth."

"Wangfei also thinks His Highness Sixteen is good?" An Lu hesitated.

"Nature is good."

Shangguan Qing could see clearly that marrying a prince was better than marrying an ordinary person. With her backing, Chu Qianping dared not treat An Lu badly.

"Wang Hao must be good if she says yes." An Lu lowered her head shyly.

Shangguan Qing looked at Zhuqing, Banxiang, Nianci and Heye and said, "Hurry up too, don't act like nothing happened all day long, when you grow old alone, you should blame me."

"If the princess is there, the lotus leaf can be with the princess for the rest of her life."

"Slave maid as well." Nian Ci was the second to express her opinion. She also recently realized Yuan Qi, which is a very rare auxiliary ability that can deform metal. Shangguan Qing has entrusted her with the work of manufacturing many parts.

"Slaves too." Zhu Qing was the third to express his opinion.

Shangguan Qing stopped him and said, "Even if you stay with me for the rest of your life, you still have to marry someone first. I don't want to be resented by Jiang Sixue."

"Princess, stop talking." Zhu Qing blushed immediately.

Shangguanqing said to Banxiang again: "It's the same with you, every time Qichuanhou visits his sister, you are the one who sees the most. You should be Mrs. Hou as soon as possible, and don't be an eyesore to me."

"Princess wants to drive me away that much." Banxiang asked sadly.

"I'm afraid of being blamed by you. I'm only happy if you are all well." Shangguan Qing patted An Lu's head again, saying that she was also two years older than An Lu, but she was just a worry.

"You are all well, I am happy."
