The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 50, Secret Investigation

"Yes, what's the matter?" Ling Pu is not a very talented person, but he is very good at observing words and expressions. At this moment, he finally saw that there was something wrong with Nanny Ling.

Nanny Ling moved her fingers uneasily, then shook her head, "It's okay, the prince asked me to hand over the account books and keys of Yuqing Palace to the princess today. I wanted to fool the princess, but I didn't know that the princess said something in a few words. It drove me to such a situation. I was worried that when she checked the account books, she would find something tricky in it."

In a few words, she explained what happened today. She didn't say that most of the orders were from the crown prince, but only that it was the crown prince's fault.Although Nanny Ling was not at home often, she knew Ling Pu a little bit.If he knew that he had lost the prince's favor, he would immediately put everything on her head in order to protect himself.

So, she didn't say anything.

She had already made up her mind that if the prince punished her then, she would take Ling Pu along with her.After all, most of those things were used on Ling Pu.And why do you have to suffer yourself?

Ling Pu couldn't sit still anymore, he urged Mother Ling, "Then why are you back, you should play emotional cards with the prince?" Ling Pu is not afraid of the princess, he is not afraid of a little girl.What he was worried about were the two nuns next to the princess, they were carefully selected by the emperor, and they were the stewards of the six bureaus.

Those two people have more knowledge than the little girl, so it's impossible to hide it from them with these rough tricks?

"Hurry up, hurry up and go back to the palace, you don't need to worry about the house." After speaking, Ling Pu went to pull Nanny Ling.

Yuqing Palace is the crown prince's domain, and everyone knows that the prince and Nanny Ling have an unusual relationship. At this time, as long as the prince is willing to speak up for Nanny Ling, even if the princess finds out nothing.If it is used properly, the prince might think that the princess is plotting against Nanny Ling on purpose.

Swinging Ling Pu's hand away, Nanny Ling became impatient, "You think I don't know? But the prince is listening to the princess now, what can I do?"

Ling Pu sneered, "It seems that Master Dong E is right, this Guerjia family is really a disaster for the country and the enchantress is alive." Ling Pu didn't notice that when he finished speaking, the lucky bamboo in the room was rattling. sound.

These dignitaries like to place a few plants and flowers in the house in an arty way, and the lucky bamboo is the most popular.Not only the lucky bamboo, but also a crabapple planted in front of the window of Ling's main courtyard.In the early Yuan Dynasty, there was a crabapple in front of the window of the Hesheli family. The Hesheli family specially put a table in front of the window, and liked to paint on the crabapple every day.

Nanny Ling had always envied the Hesheli family at that time, and after she got married, she subconsciously learned many habits of the Hesheli family, such as setting a table in front of the window and planting crabapple outside.Branches of begonias came in through the window, and she could touch them as she sat there.

The two of them would not know that the beautiful scenery they thought would become their talisman. Lucky Bamboo and Begonia communicated silently, and Begonia conveyed Ling Pu's words to the plants around it, and gradually spread the word to the pomegranate in the palace. ears.

Shiliu reached out and tapped Haitang beside the bed, and chuckled softly.The Ling family is really looking for trouble, she didn't bother the Ling family, she came to her door by herself.

Disaster for the country, enchantress?

Alright, then she will show the Ling family a demon girl who will harm the country.

Shiliu closed her eyes, and immediately used her abilities to give orders to the flowers and plants of the Ling family.

"What are you thinking? I think you are very happy?" Yinfeng came back from the study and saw Shiliu standing in front of the window, looking in a good mood. He stepped forward to put his arms around Shiliu, and then looked out.

"I heard from Ama Han and Nanny Ling that Erniang liked crabapple the most when she was alive. The crabapple plant outside Kunning Palace was planted by Erniang after she entered the palace. After the Yuqing Palace was completed, I specially pressed the branches and came here. Dazzling, this crabapple has grown so big." When he used to think of his mother, he would look at this crabapple, and when he saw it, it was as if his mother was still there.

"Begonia is pretty good, and I like it too." After she said this, the begonia in front of her was calm and automatic, and its branches fluttered as if she was shy.

Yinfeng had never seen such a situation before, and then he reacted, "I almost forgot, you are the God of Flowers, so they are naturally different to you."

Speaking of this, Yinfeng felt a little uneasy, he didn't know why Shiliu came here, he was afraid that she would go back suddenly, back to her world.He doesn't know what will happen to him then, he will probably go crazy?

Pomegranate put her hand on Yinreng's big palm, "What flower god, if it weren't for you, my flower god would have been wiped out long ago. You are also different to me."

What she meant was that Yinreng had shown her the kindness of reinvention, so it was naturally different.Yinfeng obviously misunderstood, he thought that Shiliu was confessing to him, and his face turned red with embarrassment.For a moment, he was still a little bit regretful, he hadn't said love words to Shiliu yet, how could he let her get ahead of him.

He let go of the pomegranate, took her hand and sat by the window, spread out the scroll on the table casually, and began to draw a portrait.Such a beautiful sight he felt he should stay.

Yinfeng painted very carefully and slowly, until the red candle in the room was lit, and he closed his brush, an hour and a half passed.

"how?"

He unfolded the picture scroll, and a beautiful woman in a big red flag dress came into view.The beauty held her chin in her hands and looked out with a smile. There seemed to be starlight in her eyes, which made the corners of the mouths of those who watched the painting unconsciously curl up.

"The painting is really good. When I turn around, I will have someone frame it and hang it in the study." This time, what Yinfeng painted was not an oil painting, and Shiliu was overjoyed to see it.

Seeing that she likes it, Yinfeng is in a good mood. He used to think that learning these things is not of much use, but just for decoration. Now he feels that there is nothing more precious than making her smile.As long as she was happy, Yinfeng felt that he would be willing to study for another ten years.

Shiliu took the picture scroll and turned around, unable to hide the joy on her face.She looked up at Yinreng, "Reciprocity is a courtesy, it happens that you can take a day off tomorrow, and I want to draw too." Ever since she learned that Yinreng's painting skills are outstanding, Shiliu has also worked hard.

Both Duan Min and Shi Wenbing are in favor of this point. The crown prince is both civil and military. As the matching crown princess, naturally he cannot be an illiterate person.Especially after the marriage decree came down, Pomegranate practiced piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework hard. She dare not say that compared with famous scholars, she must be no worse than her peers.

Leaving aside Shiliu's excellent hairpin flower lowercase script, the other three piano and chess paintings can also be mastered.This was affirmed by the famous Jiangnan teacher Shi Wenbing invited.

"Okay, I'll wait." Yinfeng was overjoyed.

It was night, and a few men in black turned around and entered Ling's mansion. They thought that no one knew about it, but they didn't know that their actions had been clearly seen by every flower and grass in Ling's mansion.These flowers and plants shook their branches slightly, communicating silently, and then reported all the information to a century-old tree in the Ling Mansion.

The hundred-year-old tree already has a weak consciousness, and it is no problem to observe the entire Ling Mansion.It first commanded the flowers in the Ling Mansion to release a strong fragrance to paralyze the guards, and then hinted in the hearts of two of them.

The two of them followed the patrol and began to be lazy and whisper behind.

"Hey, have you heard? Master Ling sold another pipe today, and he is a salt transporter from the seventh rank. Master Ling is really a big deal. This official bought 5 taels of silver."

As he spoke, he made gestures with his hands, 5 taels was not a small amount for them, and it would be good to have 5 taels in a lifetime.It costs 5 taels for one official to change hands, and 50 taels for selling ten officials a year. Tsk tsk, this is a good deal.

The other person took a peek ahead and said in a low voice, "What do you know, it's the Salt Transport Department, which is different from other places. Not to mention Cong Qipin, as long as it is related to this, it can be sold at a high price. "Salt transportation is a profitable business, not to mention the salt transportation department, the officials in it are very rich.

However, this matter can only be done secretly, and if it is discovered, it will be decapitated.

The previous people didn't take it seriously, "You're talking about someone else, who is Master Ling? That's the prince's grandpa. I heard that even the prince listens to Nanny Ling, and Nanny Ling listens to Master Ling. Isn’t selling an official the same as the prince selling an official?” Without the permission of the prince, can you do it with the help of Master Ling, who is an internal service manager?Will others recognize it?Don't be naive.

"Put it down, I heard that Lord Ling sold his official position behind his back, and the prince didn't know anything about it."

"Impossible, they like to do this kind of thing when they are officials, and they enjoy letting others take the blame."

"Hey, don't you believe it. My uncle's cousin is the son-in-law of Mr. Ling's heart. He secretly told me about this. Mr. Ling ordered Nanny Ling to steal the prince's private seal and make a copy of it. The certificates are all stamped with the prince's private seal. Think about it, it's just a Cong Qipin, those people will naturally give the prince face."

The man still didn't believe it, so he raised his voice, "Who is the prince, and how can he steal his private seal if he wants to." He was too excited, and the commotion was a bit loud. He turned his head and glared.

Lowering their heads a little guilty, the two hurriedly followed the team and did not speak for a long time.

A man in black behind them followed for a while and found that the two of them really stopped talking, so they wanted to leave.The information they heard just now was exciting enough, and it was enough for them to go back and exchange business.

This group of men in black were no one else, they were sent by Kangxi to investigate Ling Pu. They were the first batch to come and check out the spot, and they heard a big secret unexpectedly.

As soon as he turned around, he started talking again, "I tell you, don't you believe me, why don't you dare to take it? You forgot what Eldest Young Master once said when he was drunk, 'Yuqing Palace, that's my Ling family's. Huayuanzi, you can get whatever you want.' The prince’s private seal is nothing, and Nanny Ling once took a string of court beads from the Empress Yuan." He imitated the words of the young master of the Ling family.

The person who said this was silent. Indeed, these guards can be regarded as Ling Pu's confidantes, and they know a lot about the Ling family.

The person behind may have just arrived, and after hearing this, he was silent for a while, and then said, "I still can't believe it." Whether it is the private seal of the prince or the empress Chaozhu, if he is caught, he will be beheaded. Mama is just the prince's nanny, how dare she?

The man in front slowed down, and the two of them walked side by side, "I'm just telling you because you are pleasing to the eye, so don't tell it." Seeing him nodding, the man continued, "The prince's private seal is still in the air now. It’s hidden in a secret compartment in the study room of your lord. My cousin personally took out the Yuan Dynasty Pearl and sold it. You know the ‘black market’, right? It was sold to the steward there.”

The string of court beads was sold for 35 taels at a discounted price. I heard from his cousin that if it was a normal transaction, it would not be worth a million taels.

"'Black market'? What 'black market'?"

"Want to know? Brother will take you there next time on vacation."

The man in black waited for a while to find out that the two were no longer talking, and then checked that it was getting dark before leaving.

The two were unaware of this, and they were still wondering how they became familiar with each other while they were on patrol, but they didn't think about it outside.The guards of Ling's mansion are used to being loose, so it's not strange to chat while patrolling.In the winter, they would sometimes find a place sheltered from the wind to light a fire and chat.

The man in black did not meet his people, but turned to look for the study of the Ling family. On the way, he met another man in black. The two whispered a few words and walked together.After a while, I found the study.

After being prompted by those two people, they paid special attention to whether there was a hidden space or something like that.After searching for about a stick of incense, they really found it.

There is not only a vermilion box containing the prince's private seal in the dark grid, but also a lot of bank notes, roughly estimated to be five or six million taels.

"I also have a secret compartment here," another man in black also found a secret compartment, and there was a ledger in his secret compartment.The two looked at each other, took things to restore the study, and left quickly.

At this time in the palace, Kangxi had just fallen asleep, and today he was sleeping alone in Qianqing Palace and did not go to the concubine's palace.The crown prince got married, and he felt uncomfortable, so he just wanted to be alone and quiet.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Liang Jiugong called out cautiously.

He also just fell asleep, if there was no urgent matter outside, he would not have called the emperor up.He knew that the emperor and the two had repeated moods, and they finally fell asleep. He also wanted the emperor to rest more.

"What's the matter?" Kangxi didn't vent his anger on Liang Jiugong.He has been taken care of by Liang Jiugong since he was a child, and he knows what Liang Jiugong is like.

Liang Jiugong reached out and took a pillow and put it behind the emperor's back, and then said carefully: "The people who went to Ling's mansion have returned and said they have something important to report."

Now Kangxi was completely awake, "Liang Jiugong, hurry up, wait for me to change my clothes." They entered the palace before the night passed. It can be seen that something serious happened, and Kangxi had to be nervous.

The person who came had already changed his black clothes, and he did not speak, but presented the things in his hand.Kangxi glanced at him suspiciously, and then looked at the things in his hand. When he opened the box, his hands trembled, thinking that he had seen the prince's private seal, but then he found that the material of the private seal was wrong.

The prince's things are all purchased by Kangxi, and his private seal is also made of top-quality materials he found, which is the same material as Kangxi's own private seal.Although the one in front of him is also made of jade, it is inferior to the one he used, and you can't really tell if you don't look carefully.Although it is inferior, it is not something that ordinary people can have, at least it must be a senior member of the third rank or above.

Afterwards, Kangxi was still on the dragon case, showing a murderous look, "Where did it come from?" He even dared to forge the prince's private seal, what did this person want to do, to rebel?

"Going back to the emperor, it's the Ling family. The servants went to investigate separately after entering the Ling family. These things were found in the hidden compartment of the Ling family. They also found evidence of Ling Pu's trading of official titles, all of which were covered with the prince's private information." Printed. And 68 taels of banknotes and account books."

Before coming to the palace, they naturally counted all these things. There were exactly 68 bank notes, each worth 1 taels.

This person told all the things that happened after he and others entered Ling's house, and when he heard that Nanny Ling dared to steal the queen's court beads, Kangxi smashed the dragon case angrily. "What a Ling family, what a Ling mother. Yes, very good." Four good words in a row shows how angry the emperor is at this moment.

Nanny Ling is really bold, if he hadn't married the concubine to Yinreng, and the prince had given Yuqing Palace to the concubine to take care of, wouldn't they have discovered the good deeds of the Ling family?

"Liang Jiugong, go and call the prince to me."

Such a big thing happened, and the prince didn't even know about it, and he got angry just thinking about it.

Yinfeng was sleeping soundly and was suddenly called up, a little inexplicably, he was on vacation on the second day of his wedding.Liang Jiugong's voice not only woke up Yinfeng, but also woke up Pomegranate.

Yinfeng yawned, "It's okay, you continue to sleep." Khan Ama calling him at this time should be a political matter, and it is still very important.

Shiliu got up to help clean up together, and when Yinfeng left, she didn't rush to sleep, but put on her clothes and opened the window.The crabapples outside the window rattled, and the smile on Shiliu's face gradually deepened, "Good job."

If Ling Pu and his wife dare to do such a thing, don't blame her for showing it.These two are the Crown Prince's confidantes, and now everyone won't think too much about it. When it gets serious in the future, even if the Crown Prince says he hasn't done it, who will believe it?

She was the one who benefited from the matter of the Ling family, so Kangxi and Yinfeng might not be able to sleep.But Pomegranate closed the window and turned back to rest.

"I send greetings to Khan Ama, is Khan Ama looking for something at this time?" Zhengxiang was sleeping with his arms around Fujin, really reluctant to leave the bed.

"Hmph, I'm asking you, where's your private seal?" Kangxi knew what he was thinking by looking at Yinfeng's face.I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night worrying about his affairs, but he was fine and slept soundly.

Yinfeng was at a loss, private seal, private seal is naturally kept in the study.

"Look at what this is." Kangxi still kept the private seal at Yinrong's feet.

"This," Yinfeng felt at first glance that this was his private seal, and he didn't understand how it got into Khan Ama's hands.When I picked it up and looked at it, I felt wrong again.This feel?Yinfeng raised his head, "Khan Ama."

"Kazakh, please tell the prince."

Kazakh was the leader of the man in black who went to Ling's house to investigate.

Fearing that Yinreng would not believe it, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to show Yinreng the things he had collected from Kazakhs.
