Lucky star, cute baby, fairy mother is so handsome

Chapter 279 Intolerable

She took out three thousand taels and said, "Here, let's take care of things for the New Year." She calculated carefully that she still made a profit, and allowed herself to be generous.

Butler He held the silver in his hand and didn't react for a long time.

Gu Nianyu, who had taken a few steps away, turned back and said, "I'm sending you the monthly payment I owe you." Seeing that she was still in a daze and didn't respond, she continued, "Housekeeper He? Uncle He?"

"Oh, old slave, I obey."

He was so excited that after Gu Nianyu walked away, he jumped forward like a tree.

The air pressure in the study room in the main courtyard was very low, and Eleven knelt on the ground.

A sharp voice came to my ears, "Do you know you were wrong?"

"I know my mistake, please master."

"Go to the execution hall to receive 50 lashes."

"I obey my orders."

The master secretly gestured that he knew, but he knew how difficult it was to raise money, and he also knew that the richest person around the master was the princess. As a last resort, pretend you didn't see the gesture.

It's worth receiving 50 lashes to share the master's worries.

After Eleven stepped down, Shangguan Jiuyou looked at the 10,000 taels on the table in trance, and after a while he put the banknotes into the secret compartment.

In the morning of the next day, the ministers successively reported on matters such as welcoming the envoys, the snowstorm in the north, and Tianyu's marriage proposal.

The emperor looked tired and glanced at the ministers, "My beloved sir, do you still have something to report?"

All the old foxes who have been in the officialdom for many years understand that the emperor is tired and wants to rest, so they all stood there calmly.

Except for the left prime minister.

The emperor looked at Shangguan Jiuyou very displeasedly.

The two people's eyes collided in the air, and they started a contest that only the person involved could understand.

"If he were not your father-in-law, I would have sent him on his way long ago."

"Please."

The emperor's temples bulged with anger, and he resisted the urge to retreat, but saw that the left prime minister was already kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

If you thought that the emperor must be indifferent to his emotions and anger, but looking at the left prime minister today was like looking at a stick, and he didn't bother to act.

"Prime Minister Zuo, you have to think clearly whether this is an important matter or not?"

The pressure from the emperor made the left prime minister very flustered, but there was no turning back, and this matter was really important to him, so he had to continue even under pressure.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed true. Wei Chen's house was robbed last night, and four thousand taels of silver notes were lost in the warehouse."

As soon as these words came out, more people knelt down one after another.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Wei Chen's home was also stolen, and two thousand taels of silver notes were lost."

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen's family also encountered the same situation and lost two thousand taels of silver notes."

"I am reporting to the emperor, and so are the ministers."

The voices of these people made Zuo Xiang begin to regret today's actions.

Li Zhong, the cabinet scholar, Su He, the commander of the Firearms Battalion, and Wan Liang, the minister of Guanglu Temple, all had a close relationship with him.

It was obvious who was targeting him.

How can I take back what I just said? The left minister hurt his brain, but the right minister directly cut off his escape route.

"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister, and I still don't understand something after thinking about it for a long time."

Zuo Xiang's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't figure it out. How could he pretend to be confused even if he thought he understood something? Why should he find someone to understand something if he was confused?

I wish I could get up and drag the Right Prime Minister out of the Jinluan Palace. If possible, it would be best to throw him out of the capital.

"Right Chancellor, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"The left prime minister has a monthly salary of one hundred taels; Mr. Li, who is from the second rank, has a monthly salary of 80 taels; Mr. Su, who is in the third rank, has a monthly salary of 70 taels; Mr. Wan, who is from the third rank, has a monthly salary of 60 taels."

"Wei Chen is curious how he managed to save so much money?"

The four people kneeling on the ground were all covered in cold sweat.

"Your Prime Minister is flat." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the censor came out.

The officials' enthusiasm for eating melons increased rapidly, and they all wished they could grow more pairs of ears.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the left prime minister, Mr. Li, Mr. Su, and Mr. Wan. They have been corrupt and bribed and have no regard for the law."

The four shouted injustice.

"Zuo Aiqing is flat." The emperor looked at Zuo Prime Minister, "Then where did the money come from?"

It is simply unreasonable, everyone is richer than him, and they dare to slap him in the face openly.

The left prime minister had his own rhetoric that he believed to be impeccable, and the initial panic was swept away.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Weichen's dowry includes Shop and Zhuangzi. Although she is not rich in recent years, she has little savings."

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the left prime minister, wondering which way of death was more suitable for him.

Listen, it’s not rich? Just let the thieves steal four thousand taels casually, can't you say you're rich? Still have little savings?

I don’t know who the thief is, why is he so dishonest?

No one dares to say that he is poor to his face, but these short-sighted people are using practical actions to expose his poverty. It is intolerable! ! !

"Prime Minister Zuo, there is no need to go to court again until the truth of what he said is found out."

The left prime minister was very depressed. He was clearly the one who suffered, so why did he suddenly become the defendant? But he did not dare to question the emperor's decision.

"Come here, put these three in jail in Dali Temple, and find out that they are not involved in corruption or bribery before reinstating their official positions."

"Your Majesty, I am wronged."

No matter how the three of them wailed, the emperor just watched until they were dragged out of the hall.

After leaving the court, Prime Minister Zuo's formerly bright eyes became dim. Although he was spared jail today, it was obvious that the emperor no longer trusted him as much as before.

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

The left prime minister's hands clenched into fists under his sleeves, and suddenly he straightened his back and walked towards the palace gate as if he had been injected with blood.
