I made millions after becoming a tyrant's concubine

In the early morning of the next day, Huo Zheng passed down an oral order, asking Qian Yanzhi to investigate the case of stealing and selling items from the palace by the Bureau of Internal Affairs.

The shopkeepers and servants of the Yajiju outside the palace have also been locked up in the imperial army for some days. When they were waiting for Qian Yanzhi to pick him up, they kowtowed when they saw Qian Yanzhi, crying bitterly and let Qian Yanzhi let him go them.

Qian Yanzhi naturally let them go, but he asked Duan Yi to find a few confidantes, escorted the two people into the clothes of servants, and went to the Inner Palace to recognize them together.

The air is crisp in autumn, and no matter how big the sun is after autumn, you will not feel the sultry heat.

With the suppression of the soldiers of the Imperial Army, the shopkeeper and the servant did not dare to make a fuss, and followed Qian Yanzhi in a well-behaved manner, and walked to the Inner Palace Bureau together.

The celebrity in the palace under Qian Yanzhi's eyes, who doesn't know that Qian Chengjun is now in the thick of his family and is favored by His Majesty, so along the way, he heard many people whispering how Qian Chengjun won His Majesty's favor .

Qian Yanzhi also pretended not to hear, seeing that the Internal Affairs Bureau was close at hand, he naturally led someone in.

The yamen of the Inner Government Bureau is not big, and most of them are warehouses, which are in charge of the distribution of goods from various departments in the palace. The servant who entered the yamen because of Qian Yanzhi carefully introduced him, only saying that it was Zhen Shang from the Shang Palace Bureau. Gong Zai is currently discussing matters with Li Pingxiao, the head of the Inner Government Bureau, in the back office.

Qian Yanzhi stood in the aisle, looking at the surrounding warehouses, and couldn't help saying: "Since Mr. Li is not free, I will go find it myself. After all, His Majesty promised me yesterday that he would give me Mr. Han Changyu's picture of reviewing a horse." , since it was given to me, I couldn't wait for the reward, so I came here to get it myself."

Qian Yanzhi handed over the letter written by Huo Zheng to the servant who led the way. He looked respectful, but he didn't dare to do it for him:

"Wait a minute, Qian Chengjun. Master Li has always been in charge of the Inner Palace Bureau. If Master Li hadn't ordered it, the younger ones wouldn't dare to make their own decisions."

Qian Yanzhi smiled lightly: "That's right, I don't dare to make up my own mind. It's okay. I'll look for it myself. This Lord Li is more important than His Majesty going down."

The servant followed Qian Yanzhi in a panic, but at a corner, he happened to collide with the eunuch in charge who came out of the library.

"Fang Gonggong, Qian Chengjun sent His Majesty's letter to call Mr. Han Changyu's picture of reviewing horses. At this time, Mr. Li really discussed with Zhenshang Palace how to arrange all the items used for the sacrifice of the late emperor, and Qian Chengjun had no time to receive them. You have to get it yourself." The servant saluted Fang Cheng respectfully, and said tremblingly.

Qian Yanzhi laughed when he heard what he said, and put all the responsibility on Qian Yanzhi's head in words. No wonder Huo Zhenghui said that the harem is treacherous, and an inner government bureau is so scheming. This Neifu bureau is really a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

But so what.

Who is Qian Yanzhi? He is a devil incarnation who is not afraid of anything, and even the system is afraid of it.

So even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, he has to break through it.

then.

[The clue character Fang Cheng, 34 years old, one of the confidantes of Li Pingxiao, the head of the Bureau of Internal Affairs]

The system also sent a mission introduction in a timely manner. After Qian Yanzhi read it carefully, he understood the important information clearly.

And the servant behind him secretly tugged at his belt, Qian Yanzhi turned his head slightly, and instantly understood that this Fang Cheng was probably selling off the items in the palace.

But right now they only have witnesses and lack physical evidence, so Qian Yanzhi can't startle the snake, but just looks at Fang Cheng in front of him:

"Eunuch Fang, right? Excuse me, can Mr. Ben Cheng rely on His Majesty's letter to obtain Mr. Han Changyu's picture of reviewing horses?"

Although Fang Cheng was respectful on the face, but his eyes always showed contempt, he bowed and said: "Qian Chengjun wait a moment, after the servant has gone, I have reported to Mr. Li, after all, this inner government bureau is out of the house. Everything in the palace must pass through Mr. Li's hands, even if His Majesty has come down, after all, as a servant in the palace, naturally there can be no mistakes."

Qian Yanzhi put his hands behind his back: "Then you go to the Hou Yamen and talk to Mr. Li. After all, I will take it back and enjoy it with His Majesty, but hurry up, Your Majesty will leave the court soon."

Fang Cheng bowed and saluted, then turned around and walked towards the back office. Only the servant who led the way was still following Qian Yanzhi.

Qian Yanzhi looked at him: "My father-in-law has already gone to ask for instructions, so I'll go over and wait, otherwise I will stand here and wait, and people will say that your inner government bureau is quite arrogant, and even your majesty's handwritten order is not good enough." Don't take it seriously."

The servant was slightly stunned, and then led the way to the place where the paintings and calligraphy were kept with Qian Yanzhi.

In front of Zangshu Pavilion, just as Qian Yanzhi stood still, Li Pingxiao quickly walked over, and when he saw Qian Yanzhi, he started bowing and saluting from afar, for fear that he would be neglected due to lack of etiquette.

The official in charge of the Bureau of Internal Affairs is not a servant in the palace, so Qian Yanzhi recognized it at a glance.

Looking at his appearance, he is only in his 30s and 40s, with a respectful smile on his face, very attentive:

"Cheng Jun came here, so much negligence, please forgive me."

He approached, saluted while talking, for fear of offending Qian Yanzhi.

Qian Yanzhi said: "I heard that Lord Li and Zhen Shanggong were discussing something, so I didn't bother, but I still asked Lord Li to make this trip."

"Cheng Jun is serious. You are the person next to His Majesty, and naturally you are also our master. Since Cheng Jun has come to the Neifu Bureau, the courtiers should naturally receive them attentively. Don't let people think that the people in the Neifu Bureau are not serious. Rules." Li Pingxiao smiled and bowed his hands in salute, but he was very considerate in his etiquette.

Naturally, Qian Yanzhi couldn't offend him. Fang Cheng followed anyway. As long as the physical evidence is found, it would be best to take Fang Cheng away.

Qian Yanzhi said: "Your Majesty sent me to get Mr. Han Changyu's picture of reviewing horses, and please ask Mr. Li to look for it."

Li Pingxiao hurriedly saluted: "No problem, no problem."

Fang Cheng behind him hesitated to speak, but seeing Li Pingxiao and Qian Yanzhi's attentiveness, he could only follow behind him silently, and entered the library with them.

Perhaps because His Majesty wanted it, Li Pingxiao naturally found the painting with Fang Cheng himself.

Finally, Fang Cheng took out the picture of reviewing horses from the box, but handed it to Li Pingxiao with a serious face, reminding:

"My lord, this picture of reading horses has been damp before, so I don't know if it has been damaged."

Just as Li Pingxiao was about to speak, Qian Yanzhi robbed him of the words:

"Damp? It's okay. Ben Chengjun works in Wenyuan Pavilion and knows a few masters who repair picture scrolls. Since it is damp, it's the same if I take it back and let the gentlemen repair it."

Li Pingxiao also took over the painting very naturally and handed it over to Qian Yanzhi:

"Cheng Jun forgives the sin. It is the servants and others who are not good at taking care of the painting, so that the painting gets wet. Your Majesty wants to beat him and punish him. The ministers and others have admitted it. Please also ask Cheng Jun to speak a few words in front of Your Majesty."

Qian Yanzhi just smiled at him, and then looked at the place where the paintings were hung in the pavilion, naturally he didn't intend to take it out and look at it, otherwise Fang Cheng might not know how to quibble.

"However, Mr. Ben Cheng still has to see how the painting has been affected by damp. When I go back later, please explain to me, Your Majesty." Qian Yanzhi said.

After changing hands, Qian Yanzhi asked the servant to hang up the painting. Fang Cheng wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so he could only watch Qian Yanzhi unfold the painting little by little.

Fortunately, he had seen the real work before and marveled at the author's uncanny craftsmanship, so now that he saw the fake, it was easy to see what was wrong.

The strokes and colors of the authentic works are very elegant. As imitations, the counterfeit works are naturally not as good as the original works in terms of color and composition. Therefore, Qian Yanzhi is very sure that this is a fake.

Although it is generally the same as the original imitation, there is still a difference in the end.

Qian Yanzhi's face was gloomy, with a sneer on his face: "This painting...hasn't been damp either."

Fang Cheng listened to the meaning of his words, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Perhaps...maybe the servant has misremembered."

After Fang Cheng finished speaking, he secretly looked at Li Pingxiao.

Li Pingxiao's expression was as usual, but there was a smile on his face: "It's because the people under him were careless, and even forgot this little thing, come here, take this Fang Cheng down..."

"Wait." Qian Yanzhi quickly interrupted Li Pingxiao, looked at Fang Cheng and Li Pingxiao solemnly, "I will take the painting, but Mr. Li has to go to Wende Hall with Ben Chengjun."

Li Pingxiao was puzzled: "What does Cheng Jun mean?"

Qian Yanzhi said: "You look at me from the countryside, have you never seen Mr. Han Changyu's paintings? You even sent me a fake. Are you deceiving me, or are you trying to deceive Your Majesty!"

He yelled at him sharply, and Li Pingxiao and all the servants present kowtowed to the ground in fright.

Li Pingxiao said: "Cheng Jun means... is this painting a fake?"

Qian Yanzhi threw the painting in front of him: "Then see for yourself, is this painting exactly the same as what His Majesty brought to the Inner Palace Bureau? You are really looking at His Majesty's daily affairs. Is it so deceitful!"

"Fang Cheng! How dare you sneak away His Majesty's things and say, where is the original work!"

Li Pingxiao's mind was also spinning quickly, and he turned around and scolded Fang Cheng who was lying on the ground.

Fang Cheng was so frightened that he trembled all over and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Li Pingxiao hurriedly kowtowed to Qian Yanzhi and said: "Forgive Qian Chengjun, it was this slave who was obsessed with ghosts for a while and exchanged His Majesty's painting. I will send him to the violent room and let him make a good confession! The ministers will follow Qian Chengjun to Wende Hall to plead guilty to His Majesty, if something like this happens in the Inner Palace Bureau, the ministers will have no face to be in charge anymore."

Seeing his distressed expression, Qian Yanzhi just smiled.

The internal affairs of the government are deep, and everything has to go through Li Pingxiao's hands. Originally, they could argue, but they never thought that Li Pingxiao admitted too quickly, as if he wanted to push Fang Cheng out to take the blame.

Qian Yanzhi said: "Of course I'm going to His Majesty's place, but whether Eunuch Fang is not good enough to take care of him, or whether he is a prisoner who steals himself, that's another matter. Eunuch Fang will be punished if he loses sight of calligraphy and paintings. Since he can't get them back, His Majesty If you want a painting, you will take the person who sees it back to make a business trip, come and take it away."

With Qian Yanzhi's order, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army behind him immediately swarmed up and took Fang Cheng down. The process went smoothly without any resistance.

Qian Yanzhi also had some doubts in his heart, and the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau was too calm, as if he had expected it.

"Does Master Li have anything to say?"

Li Pingxiao kowtowed on the ground: "I cannot absolve myself of the responsibility for such an incident in the Inner Palace Bureau, and I will plead guilty to Your Majesty."

Qian Yanzhi stared at him, and after responding, someone took Fang Cheng away.

It's just that when I first arrived at the courtyard in front of the Bureau of Internal Affairs, I happened to meet a woman in official uniform who came from the back office. She smiled slightly and bowed to Qian Yanzhi:

"I met Qian Chengjun."
