The male concubine of the violent son

Ran Qinggu didn't expect that the princess would hand over things inside and outside the mansion to him.

He was not interested in these sundries at all, but Shizi seemed to notice something when he touched his chest.

If he behaved calmly again, Shi Zi might doubt him even more.

After all, he is now an imperial concubine, which woman doesn't want to be in charge of her husband's family?

It's like which concubine doesn't want to be a queen and manage the six palaces?

They come, the security.

At dawn, Ran Qinggu got up early and went to Zhuangzi's shop under the name of the palace...

The glory of King Cheng's mansion is extremely prosperous. Although the foundation of King Cheng is the power in the court and the millions of soldiers in his hands, there are countless Zhuangzi shops under his name, and the scope of his involvement is extremely wide...

No wonder the concubine asked him to do his homework early so that the eldest son could succeed to the throne. He, the eldest son, would not be at a loss.

Ran Qinggu stepped into the largest shop in the palace, which mainly sold gold and silver jewelry.

Maybe because they knew he was coming, the shopkeepers in the shop waited for a long time, and even brought out the account books from previous years, and two big boxes were placed on the table.

The shopkeeper's surname is Wang, and he is an old man in the palace. He has worked in the palace for more than ten years.

As soon as he saw Ran Qinggu, he smiled respectfully: "Concubine Shizi, the account books of Jingdu Jewelry Store are all here, please have a look."

Ran Qinggu glanced at the huge storefront, and then scanned the two large boxes of ledgers.

He was not in a hurry to look at the account book, but instead sat down in the main hall, took a few sips of tea from Chun'er.

Several shopkeepers looked at each other.

The imperial concubine is probably here to pretend.

Even if the ledger is given to her, can she understand it?

"Shopkeeper Wang, where did you buy this jade?" Ran Qinggu asked with a faint smile after taking a sip of his tea.

Shopkeeper Wang replied with a smile: "As for the princess, these shops in Kyoto are all jade shipped from Jeju, processed and then sold to various places."

Ran Qinggu raised his hand, and Chun'er took out a jade hairpin from the container and gave it to him.

Ran Qinggu held the jade hairpin and touched it, with a smile in his eyes all the time, which made several shopkeepers puzzled.

He casually picked up three or four ledgers and flipped through them very quickly, frowning as he flipped through them.

Then, he picked up a pile of ledgers next to him and looked at them, frowning again...

After a while, he read through the two boxes of ledgers.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at each other and smiled without a trace.

Look at the speed of flipping through the ledger, the frown, the impatient expression...

Also come to manage the errands of the palace?

Let's clear up the abacus first.

No matter how bad it is, go back and practice patience, at least carefully read a page of the account book.

bang-

Ran Qinggu threw the ledger to the ground.

Shopkeeper Wang and the others went in without knowing it: "Shi Zifei? Why did you lose your temper so much? But what's wrong with the villain?"

Ran Qinggu: "This account book remembers that Yuzhou's top-grade jade is priced according to its fineness. In the account book for the past five years, the imperial green jade is 240 taels, one piece is 53 taels, and the total is 820 six taels, and the white jadeite is 92 taels. , the cost is 41 taels...there are more than 3000 pink and white pearls, each of which is 52 yuan...these are equivalent to 67 taels of silver...Every year, jade is sold at the average market price of the year. The average price of jade and jade in the market, emerald is 18 taels...there are 270 shops in the whole of Kyoto, and 31 shops in other counties. Where did the nearly 20 silver money go?"

After Ran Qinggu finished speaking, shopkeeper Wang and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Even they themselves don't know how many jade stones they have earned in the past five years, so how does Shi Zifei know?

They remember the average price of which kind of jade in which year, which is exactly what Shi Zifei said...

They quickly recruited the seven or eight accountants who were standing next to them to look through the account books, and whether the calculated value is the same as that calculated by the crown prince?Don't be fooled by the princess.

Several accountants turned the abacus continuously, and all the clacking and crackling were keyboard sounds.

An hour later, several accountants handed out a notebook full of numbers, secretly dumbfounded, and nodded towards several shopkeepers with amazement.

The meaning is obvious, and the concubine Shizi did not speak nonsense.

All the cashiers and shopkeepers present wiped their sweat.

If the imperial concubine didn't do her homework in advance, she would be a god-man.

After scanning through five years of account books at a glance, the price and quantity of thousands of jades, and even the market price and market supply price of jade in which year are all calculated so clearly and quickly...

The result of his mental calculation is the same as the result of the first accountant's calculation in an hour.

This man is horrible.

Shopkeeper Wang wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Impossible, no one can count so fast?

No one has such a memory.

The concubine must have checked the accounts in advance and did her homework.

Did she find something?

Ran Qinggu was not in a hurry, he just had a simple meal in this lobby and drank tea leisurely.

Chun'er was worried that the concubine Shizi would be made things difficult by some old slaves when she came here, but she did not expect that the concubine Shizi would check it in advance.

But she didn't see the imperial concubine looking at any accounts, nor did she see the imperial concubine making any calculations?

She turned her head and asked Taozi in a low voice: "When did the concubine do her homework? Could it be that the concubine works at night? Why didn't you inform me to take care of you?"

The concubine Shi Zi didn't let them serve at night, maybe she had to work at night, but she didn't see it.

Tao Zi was full of eyes of "mentally retarded, stay away from me", and said contemptuously, "What's so great about this, my family... miss, she can see ten lines at a glance, she has a flash memory, and her mental calculation speed is very fast, amazing."

Chun'er is dubious.

Tao Zi didn't bother to talk to this idiot.

After Ran Qinggu finished drinking the tea, he gently put the tea on the table.

The sound of ordering the table at the bottom of the cup was very soft, but it weighed on everyone's heart like a mountain collapsed, shaking the cashier of the shopkeeper present.

Ran Qinggu looked at them gently, and said in a calm tone, "The above is just my calculation based on your account books. In addition, I would like to ask you, it is cheaper for you to buy from Jeju instead of jade." , Yuzhou, where the transportation is more convenient...why? Yuzhou imperial green jadeite is at least 7% cheaper than Jeju, Yuzhou is near the sea, the pearl is purer, and the material cost can be more than [-]% off...Except for the transportation and labor costs, you let The palace lost another [-] taels of silver..."

Only then did a few people figure it out that the concubine Shi Zi came to settle accounts after Qiuhou.

The few of them wanted to bring out the account book to give Shi Zifei a blow, so that she would retreat in the face of difficulties, but they didn't expect that Shi Zifei came to the door first.

Shopkeeper Wang wiped the sweat from his brow: "The concubine Shizi doesn't know something. Although Yuzhou has convenient transportation, there are many waterways and serious banditry..."

Ran Qinggu sneered coldly: "That can compare to the dangers of Yunshan Mountain in Jeju? Besides, there are horses and chariots to transport the palace. Which bandit leader has the guts of a leopard? Dare to rob the goods of the palace?"

A few people, you look at me, I look at you...

This concubine is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

One of them stood up and said, "Shizifei..."

Ran Qinggu smiled: "Why don't I tell you for you? When you go to Jeju to buy jade, the seller in Jeju must have given you a kickback, and then use the money of high-quality jade to buy low-quality jade. Get one rebate...you can get two rebates for one purchase and transportation, and you can get thousands of taels of silver once."

The eldest brother of the second sister-in-law Su Xi is an official in Jeju, and these shopkeepers have been working under Su Xi for a long time, so they are naturally involved with Su Xi.

It is conceivable whose pocket the silver ended up in.

Su Xi used the authority of the palace to send money to her elder brother, and used the highest price to collect inferior jade from her elder brother, and registered it under the name of the palace. Naturally, her elder brother would not treat her badly, and she must have taken a lot of it. rebate……

The two brothers and sisters took advantage of the palace to suck blood, but let the servants below come to die.

But Ran Qinggu can't say it directly, the second sister-in-law Su Xi is the granddaughter of the Taifu, with the support of Concubine Liu and the Taifu, if he speaks out directly, it will inevitably be criticized.

What's more, the prince might not like such a small profit.

If he disturbs the mansion because of this, causing a rift between the Prince and the Taifu, wouldn't this be in the hands of Concubine Liu and Second Sister-in-law?

Today this ledger is a bureau.

Concubine Liu's first game was to ask these people to bring out the account book and give him a blow.

If he passes the first round without finding any problems, these people will be passive and slow down and find problems for him.

If he finds a problem, then the woman who is only an ordinary housekeeper will definitely pursue it to the end, and will hold on to it. After all, this is a good opportunity to shake the second sister-in-law...

Once he insists that it is the second sister-in-law, then the side concubine Taifu and others will come forward.

Although the prince will not blame him, he will also think that he is a meddlesome person who makes troubles in the mansion for petty profits. Is such a person who has no regard for the overall situation worthy of being in charge of the palace in the future?

Therefore, he couldn't involve the second sister-in-law and side concubine Liu, so he could only put his hat on the kickback given by the seller in Jeju.

As for who the seller is?

Then you need to ask the officer.

The shopkeeper Wang's legs were already wobbling, and he was still gnashing his teeth: "Concubine Shizi, you have only been in power for the first day, and many things can only be based on your own judgment or what you have seen and heard in books. It takes a lot of money to buy jade." Only by walking around in person can you find out what's going on?"

Ran Qinggu smiled: "You mean I can only talk on paper?"

Several people were speechless: "This..."

Ran Qinggu looked at them indifferently: "It's okay, let's go to the government for a walk."

These people are old fritters in the mall.

I see more officials than I wear shoes. Now in officialdom, officials protect each other.

No matter how powerful the concubine is, she has not gained a firm foothold in the capital and is rejected by the prince, how can she compare to the second lady?She is the direct granddaughter of the current Tai Tuo, and she is backed by the concubine Liu's beloved concubine's younger sister. Her roots in the capital are unfathomable, and the second wife will definitely win them...

Thinking of this, several people straightened their backs.

Several people were escorted by the guards of the palace to the government.

But halfway through, two or three shopkeepers found something was wrong, so they asked: "Concubine Shizi, is this direction wrong?"

Tao Zi opened the curtain of the carriage: "The Imperial Concubine is right, this is the direction to Dali Temple."

Several people looked pale.

Isn't Dali Temple just a severe punishment prison?

Those who enter will not die or be disabled...

What's more, who doesn't know that this is the territory of Shizi, and Shizi kills people like hemp, if they go in, can they come back?

Shopkeeper Wang struggled and shouted: "This is obviously handled by the government? Why did you go to Dali Temple? We are not serious criminals... Shizifei, you are abusing your private power..."

Chun'er sent a message: "The imperial concubine said that the Criminal Law, Taxation and Salt Law, No. 70, and anyone involved in a huge amount of money can be handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation."

After sending the message, she turned to Ran Qinggu and asked: "Concubine Shizi, are these criminal laws true? This is on the street, don't be overheard by knowledgeable people, it will be embarrassing."

Ran Qinggu smiled: "That day in the study, I read the criminal law to your son for more than an hour."

The shopkeepers turned pale and said loudly, "I won't go, you abused lynching."

Several guards quickly detained several people.

Now that the matter has come to an end, the few people have disregarded their face, and immediately spilled water on the street, shouting loudly: "The princess is abusing her private power, extorting confessions by torture, and eradicating dissidents... People's lives are ignored..."

People around have gathered around.

"Then the princess Cheng Wang is sitting in the carriage?"

"Has she not been trampled to death by the prince?"

"The prince wouldn't even want to touch her, would he? Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to a brothel on his wedding night and slept in a brothel for several days..."

"A dignified concubine is not as good as a prostitute."

"I've heard that the imperial concubine is as ugly as a Rakshasa, big and thick, with pockmarks all over her face, her waist is thicker than a bucket, and women in the north have thick hair..." A man chatted with others incessantly: " He also said that he has a strong body odor... That's why the prince doesn't even want to touch it... Hey, what's the matter with you? Listen to me."

The men and women around him all looked in one place.

He also turned his head to look.

I saw a tall and thin beautiful woman wearing a white glazed yellow floral skirt and a light purple outer shirt getting out of the carriage.

For a moment everyone looked at her.

The woman's appearance is undoubtedly beautiful, but what cannot be ignored is the temperament of the whole person.

Although she has put on makeup and yellow flowers, but it gives people the feeling of being clean and light.

Like that cold snow, and like that ancient spring

It seems that from the bottom of his heart, he is out of tune with this world.

If such a person appeared in the forest of Chenwu Mountain, there would be no doubt that she was an immortal here.

It is only now that everyone understands one sentence.

Beauty is in the bones but not in the skin.

After a while, he finally recovered his voice: "Is that Shi Zifei?"

A woman next to her nodded: "It should be, I just heard someone call her Shizifei."

The man muttered something disrespectful to himself: "So, is the son blind?"

Ran Qinggu got out of the carriage, walked up to those shopkeepers, and smiled: "Where is the lynching?"

The shopkeeper's face was red: "You threw me to Dali Temple, isn't that a lynching?"

Ran Qinggu glanced coldly at the several shopkeepers: "Dali Temple is an institution set up by the ancestor emperor to interrogate serious cases, how come it has become a lynching in your mouth, are you slandering the ancestor emperor, or are you slandering the current emperor?"

The shopkeeper blushed with fright: "Me?"

Ran Qinggu patted the shopkeeper's shoulder: "Going to Dali Temple, you may still be able to save your life, if you pass on your words to the Holy Majesty, you will be punished by the Nine Clans... What is more important, you can decide for yourself. "

Ran Qinggu walked slowly towards the guards, and told the guards: "I have to go to other shops, please send these people to Dali Temple, if anyone dares to slander me or the prince on the way, they will pull out their tongues , if you dare to resist, you will be... executed immediately, if you dare to escape, you will take your wife, children, and parents to death!"

The guard cupped his hands: "Yes."

Following the concubine for a whole day, the guards witnessed the concubine handling affairs calmly and calmly.

I'm afraid that this concubine is even worse than the son.

The son's cruel methods have always directly cut off limbs and feet, which is painful and painful.

As for the concubine Shizi, she was playing dirty in her direct words.

Although he didn't take people's lives or cut off his hands and feet, he put people to death with a few words, and even cut off the way back.

Fortunately, the eldest son has only one wife, the imperial concubine, if there are several concubines, I am afraid that he will die while the imperial concubine is keeping quiet.

Ran Qinggu walked towards the crowd on foot, and the crowd gave way to him.

He walked into the cloth village under the name of the palace, and the treasurer of the cloth village who had just witnessed everything was terrified, and immediately bowed respectfully and greeted him at the door.

Before entering the cloth village, Ran Qinggu thought of something, turned his head and said to Chun'er: "I will write a list later, and you can show it to the princess, and you will say that there are too many loopholes in the accounts of the palace. I don't know how to deal with it, so I ask my mother for help."

Chun'er nodded happily: "Yes."

==

"Where is the concubine, don't you know how to deal with it?" The princess looked at those lists and smiled faintly.

Su Momo picked up the list: "Did the princess do anything to make the princess happy?"

The concubine put her hands on the Jinding Yunwen smoker to smoke, and the maid hurriedly brought cow's milk to the concubine to wipe her hands.

"In the past two or three days, she has cleaned up and rectified the obsolete problems under the name of the palace. After those shopkeepers and cashiers were sent to officials, their positions were vacated. Naturally, the vacated positions require people. Go fill it."

"Your maidservant knows that the people that the concubine sent to see the officials are all people placed by Concubine Liu, who are more or less related to the concubine, and the concubine sent the list because she wanted our people to send these people away. replace it."

The princess smiled: "She is really far-sighted. She knows that her foundation in the capital is not stable, and she has no one to use, so she can only find me. Because she knows that everything I plan is for the son and hers." future."

Su Momo massaged the concubine's hands: "The concubine is very smart, after all, she is the concubine who is blessed and blessed."

The concubine smiled: "The imperial concubine does have some tricks. In just a few days, she has pulled out half of the radishes planted by Concubine Liu. It's just that we have to use reliable radishes to plant these pits. You go find it..."

Su Momo nodded again and again: "Yes."

The concubine looked at Chun'er: "The concubine Shizi has worked hard to clean up the outer mansion these days, let her come to Zuifeng Pavilion to have dinner with me in the evening."

Chun'er saluted: "Yes."

==

"Mother..." Su Xi ran into the Manyue Pavilion in a panic, and almost fell because she didn't notice her step.

Concubine Liu ate slowly, drank porridge, raised her eyebrows, and frowned slightly: "Why are you panicking?"

Su Xi was out of breath: "Mother, why are you still in the mood to eat? Then Bai Yu sent most of the people we promoted and placed to Dali Temple."

Concubine Liu scoffed coldly: "I don't eat, do you want me to starve to death?"

Su Xi sat down beside Concubine Liu: "Mother, will you find me? I'm afraid..."

Concubine Liu gave her a gouged look: "What are you afraid of? Useless things, at most you don't know people well, the prince will really fall out with the Taifu because of this little profit?"

Having said that, Su Xi felt a little relieved.

Concubine Liu changed her words: "I didn't see it earlier, this Bai Yu has some abilities, and he has only been in power for a few days? He has dug out all of our people."

Su Xi curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Isn't there a princess pointing out behind the scenes?"

Concubine Liu sneered: "I have been fighting with Jian Zuihuan for so many years, I don't know what kind of temperament she has, but this Bai Yu really has a plan..."

She paused with the hand holding the spoon, thought, "No!"

Su Xi was taken aback: "What's wrong? Mother, is the princess planning to attack us?"

Concubine Liu put down the bowls and chopsticks: "There is something wrong with Bai Yu, she has such means, how could she let her mother be driven into the house by her father for five or six years? Domineering?"

Bai Yu's tricks made her a woman who was born in a famous family and married into the royal family suffer from being dumb, so why can't she deal with a mere concubine?

I'm afraid it is more than enough to deal with Bai Guogong's weak bones.

Thinking of something, Concubine Liu ordered Nanny Cai: "Go, send someone to Beicheng to investigate Bai Yu, and don't let go of any clues."

Mother Cai: "Yes."
