Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Xifeng naturally agreed without hesitation, and thanked the prince for his grace with a smile on her face.

After dinner, the prince strolled to Hanliang Palace to visit Mei Liangyuan. An'er Ru'er happily came over and whispered private words to Wang Xifeng;

Wang Xifeng snorted, "Do you like having someone watching your every move?"

An'er Ruer was stunned.

"I don't know whether Lin Ruhai is happy about it or not, but I know that Jia Min is definitely not happy about it.

"I know my father should be very happy, but my mother and I are not happy!" Wang Xifeng became more and more unhappy. She drove everyone out and practiced boxing in the bedroom by herself.

——The main hall of Chengxiang Palace is large, and the furniture that can be moved in from the East Palace is small and narrow, so a large space is left in the hall. Although one cannot wield a long whip or a long spear, the boxing skills are enough.

It was not until an hour later that Wang Xifeng ordered him to take a bath and rest.

However, when everyone fell asleep, Wang Xifeng picked up the black gold and whispered, "Go to Chen Duo and urge him."

Wu Jin looked up, confused: Meow?

If you don't write a letter, will he understand that I am urging him when I go there?

Wang Xifeng stared at Wu Jin and said, "Your Prince Qin Guang is a bad person. I only asked you to urge Chen Duo to investigate the case and didn't even think about causing trouble for him. How dare you shirk your responsibilities and be lazy?

"Do you believe me? I'll give you to the emperor and let him take you and Su Yu to another palace?"

As long as you are not dead, you have to find a way to come back from the other palace.

When Wu Jin thought about having to rely on cat claws to walk hundreds of miles back to the Daming Palace, he felt numb all over!

Meow.

Wugin turned and ran.

Wang Xifeng looked at his back, snorted, and pushed open the window again.

The crow brothers, a titmouse and a shrike all flew in.

Jin Ercai jumped up and down on the shelf excitedly, shouting in a low voice: "Let's have a meeting! We are all family members, don't bring that outsider!"

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at it and coughed lightly.

The birds flapped their wings respectfully and lowered their heads. At first glance, it looked like they were bowing.

Wang Xifeng nodded.

The birds all straightened up again.

"Too few, not enough." Wang Xifeng looked at the five birds, "Look for them again in Daming Palace. If you are smart and reliable, find seven or eight more."

Jin Ercai became even more excited and shook his body vigorously: "Expand the army, expand the army!"

Wang Xifeng glared at it.

..............................

The next day, Wang Xifeng got up early in the morning and led a large group of people to Neizang.

Chen Duo and Han Lue were also called in to fill in the numbers.

"You are more familiar with the rules of Daming Palace than we are. You two should keep an eye on Jing Li and the others to make sure they don't get into trouble."

Wang Xifeng found a quiet place, crossed her legs and drank tea.

Qian Gang was ordered to assist.

No one was troubled and things went very smoothly. However, there were too many things hidden inside, so not only did they have to be checked one by one, but they also had to be identified to determine whether they were genuine.

In this matter, Chen Duo and Han Lue were much better than Jing Li and Fugui'er, but to everyone's surprise, An'er, with Chunsui and Chuncao, was able to identify the objects as quickly as Chen Duo and Han Lue.

The sun in late spring was already a little hot, and Wang Xifeng felt drowsy after sitting for a while.

Qian Gang hurriedly ordered someone to brew a pot of new tea: "This is the first time of the Qingming Festival this spring. Liang Di, please help us taste this tea."

Wang Xifeng drank two cups, gave a compliment, and then couldn't sit still anymore, so she simply stood up and went into the library, strolling around and looking around.

When she saw the warehouse full of precious fabrics such as silks, satins, Sichuan brocades, kesi, Suzhou embroidery, Hangzhou embroidery, and Sichuan embroidery, she walked in with shining eyes.

Then he stood in front of the shelf and looked through it carefully.

As he was looking, he suddenly pulled out a piece of cloth from the bottom, pointed at the edge of the cloth and asked Qian Gang who followed him in:

"Isn't this the mark of insect bites?"

Qian Gang was shocked: "But please don't do that!"

I quickly picked it up and took a closer look, only to see that the edges of the material were uneven, obviously the damage left by rodents!

Qian Gang’s legs almost went limp!

The left and right storages are the national treasury. There are many things and the space is large. Moreover, new things are often pressed against old things. Therefore, it is normal for snakes, insects, rats and ants to appear, resulting in some losses.

But the inside is different!

First of all, the emperor's private storehouse is not all here, there are many places outside to store large items. The collection in the palace is full of treasures.

Secondly, all the things here are the emperor’s personal treasures, so he lets the eunuchs to manage them. It can be regarded as the servants in the family managing the private collections on behalf of their master!

If there is any room for error here, the hat of disloyalty and disrespect will be firmly pinned on one's head!

If rats and bugs really got into the chamber, Zhou Dai would be out of office, not to mention Qian Gang, a common eunuch who did not even hold a position.

So, when Qian Gang carefully checked and found that it was indeed the traces of rats, his eyes suddenly turned black and he shouted in a trembling voice:

"Liang Di, help me!"

The man has already knelt down!

Wang Xifeng frowned, waved her hand and asked him to get up first, then asked everyone to stop reconciling the accounts and check all the cloth in the warehouse first, especially the bottom layer, to see how much was damaged.

Qian Gang cried, wiped his tears, and looked carefully with his eyes wide open.

After checking a few boxes, Chen Duo turned back to look at Wang Xifeng with a strange expression and said, "Master, not all the damaged fabrics are on the bottom layer.

"They are scattered everywhere, but it can be seen that the damaged ones are all from the same batch of Jinling Yunjin."

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and asked, "Can you tell which year this tribute is from?"

Qian Gang just wiped his tears and rushed to say: "I remember! It was the year before last!

"After the selection four years ago, in addition to those who entered the Daming Palace and the Eastern Palace, there were also many royal family members and nobles who were betrothed.

"His Majesty gave away all the Yunjin from previous years in the name of the Empress. At that time, Curry's Yunjin item was cleared to zero.

"The Yunjin tribute we paid two years ago was only enough to cover this year's expenses.

"It was not until the Yunjin was delivered two years ago that there were a few pieces left!"

Wang Xifeng seemed to be thinking about something.

The person who is now in charge of attacking the precious fabrics of Jiangnan is indeed Zhen, the president of Jinling Tirenyuan.

If it were him, this job shouldn't have gone so wrong.

Then, it’s still the fault of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Wang Xifeng's eyes began to move dangerously across Qian Gang's face.

Qian Gang burst into tears: "I swear to heaven! Both I and my master are innocent and have performed our duties faithfully!

“This warehouse is inspected every seven days, and fumigated every month to kill insects and prevent rats!

"And the bite marks look wrong. How could a mouse only pick Yunjin to bite? What's more..."

His voice suddenly stopped and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Wang Xifeng looked at him and slowly began to laugh: "What's more?

"You also feel something is wrong, right?

"How come the same batch of Yunjin is scattered everywhere instead of being put together?

“Unless, after they were gnawed, someone was afraid of being discovered for failing in their duty, so they secretly tampered with the cloth and spread it out to make it less noticeable.

"Qian Gang, who can usually get the key to this vault?"
