Chapter 738 The Bracelet Is Beautiful
After Lord Zhou figured out the key, he was instantly shocked and sweated.
Why is he so confused? It is rumored that the eldest princess and the Eighth Princess have a very good relationship, so how could the two quarrel over his affairs?
So, from the beginning, the two of them deliberately!
After thinking about this, he was not calm. Especially now Lin Yuzhu refused to let him investigate, and he was even more worried: "The Eighth Imperial Princess is a court official. You can't ignore the affairs of the people just because of accusations that others have no evidence. Grain seeds are a big deal. The grains purchased at the time were bought bit by bit from the people. Everything was handled by the Xiaguan and the people below. Didn't all the grains transported to Anyang City be planted?"
Lin Yuzhu knew that it was right to conceal the news at the beginning, so the news had not been leaked yet, and Lord Zhou did not know that they had already known that there was a problem with the grain planting.
I thought the grains planted in Anyang City were the batches he transported.
He sneered in his heart and became even more disgusted with Master Zhou and said, "Mr. Zhou is a good official in the imperial court. The Shuimo City is also rich under Lord Zhou's governance, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. But what we are investigating now is the issue of grain seeds. Since the people say you have not purchased grain from them, where did the grain seeds transported to Anyang City come from?"
Lord Zhou's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before he raised his head and said, "Those grains are really purchased from the people."
The eldest princess looked playful and turned her head to stare at Master Zhou and smiled: "Since Master Zhou said that he bought it from the people, he must have a purchase record. Please bring the account book. After reading it, I will naturally restore your innocence. Also, there is indeed a problem with the grain seeds in Anyang City. Just now, Master Zhou said that all grain seeds were handled by you and the people below. So just now, you don't have to continue to stare at the grain seeds, and this princess will naturally find out the truth."
She knew that Lord Zhou was very panicked, and all she wanted was Lord Zhou.
Lord Zhou was even more anxious: "Grand Princess, you must believe in the officials! He has been a officials for more than 20 years and has been diligent. He will never dare to do anything to deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates. He will not dare to conceal the emperor or the eldest princess, and will not dare to do things to fool the people. Big Princess, you must believe in the officials!"
He was scared.
Because it was confirmed that the eldest princess and the eighth princess were not good, even Manager Cui should have sent them in advance.
Now he was worried that he would not handle anything that was investigated by the eldest princess.
He quickly said: "I have an account book for buying grain seeds. The official will take the account book now. I believe that the eldest princess can restore the official's innocence."
He prepared the account book in advance, and every account in the account book is worth pondering.
Now I can only find a way to drag it out and then slowly make arrangements step by step, hoping to pick it out from the middle of this matter.
The eldest princess asked Manager Cui to sit down, and Lin Yuzhu sat down and drank tea slowly without panic.
Mrs. Zhou, who was standing in the house uneasy, was embarrassed.
The eldest princess smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhou and Lord Zhou have such a good relationship. The jade bracelet you wear on your wrist looks so beautiful."
She could see at a glance that the bracelet on Mrs. Zhou’s wrist was valuable, and it would take at least ten thousand taels of silver to buy such a bracelet.
Jade bracelets are very common, but it is rare to see the green and transparent jade bracelets on Mrs. Zhou’s wrist. Moreover, more than just the jade bracelets on Mrs. Zhou’s body are valuable, and the string of purple jade beads on her neck are also valuable.
According to Lord Zhou’s salary, how can I support Lord Zhou to buy these things?
If Mr. Zhou has no problem, she doesn't believe it.
Mrs. Zhou was embarrassed and raised her head to Nangong Yutong and smiled: "This bracelet is my dowry. My mother's family was also a wealthy businessman, but her family was in trouble. Now it's not possible."
Naturally, she didn't dare to tell the truth. Fortunately, she had thought of a countermeasure before, and also regretted how she put out the jade bracelet today.
Nangong Yutong said slowly: "Madam Zhou, you are not honest!"
This sentence didn't sound particularly harsh, but it made Mrs. Zhou's heart beat faster and she became flustered: "Minister woman, the civilian woman doesn't understand the meaning of the eldest princess."
Nangong Yutong sneered, and the teacup in her hand fell directly in front of Mrs. Zhou, and said angrily: "Don't you understand? I think you understand very well, and even thought of excuses! Do you really think this princess is easy to cheat?"
Nangong Yutong was still smiling just now, but now she was furious, scaring Mrs. Zhou to tremble.
He knelt down in an instant and said, "The civilian woman really doesn't understand the meaning of the eldest princess."
Nangong Yutong mocked: "Do you really don't understand or pretend not to understand? I don't know yet! You said that your family was a wealthy businessman in the past, but this princess was not investigating this. Your family lives in a village east of Shuimocheng and has been farming for generations. Even if you count five generations up, you can't find an ancestor who can afford the bracelet on your wrist."
Lin Yuzhu didn't know about this, and it was only when Nangong Yutong said it.
I couldn't help but look at Nangong Yutong in admiration.
I have to say that Nangong Yutong is really good at layout, and she didn't know about investigating Mrs. Zhou in advance.
Nangong Yutong received Lin Yuzhu's look, and after returning a comforting look, she continued to question Mrs. Zhou: "You just honestly explain how the bracelet on your wrist comes from! If you dare to say a little lie in front of me, I will not let it go."
The last threatening words made Mrs. Zhou very scared.
But she really dared not tell the truth.
He kowtowed and said, "It was a civilian woman who was confused. This bracelet was given by a young sister. I didn't tell the truth just now, it was out of vanity."
have to!
After hearing Mrs. Zhou's explanation, Lin Yuzhu became more sure that Mrs. Zhou was not easy to deal with.
Listen to the explanation of this smooth mouth, it is very smooth!
Nangong Yutong sneered: "Very good! You are still lying to this princess. I originally wanted to give you a chance to explain. Since you don't cherish it, I don't have to give you a face. You bought this bracelet in Zhenbao Pavilion! And it was bought half a month ago."
Mrs. Zhou raised her head in surprise.
She chose to continue lying because she was sure that Nangong Yutong could not find any evidence. As a result, Nangong Yutong even knew where she bought it from!
How else should I get through this panic?
This time she was completely scared because she knew that her husband might have fallen.
The eldest princess can investigate these things, but how can she not investigate what her husband does?
Now she can only say nothing, say more and make mistakes.
At this time, Lord Zhou took the account book and ran into the house with a smile and said, "I found it, I found the account book."
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Mrs. Zhou kneeling on the ground, and the eldest princess who was watching him playfully, and her heart was instantly lifted.
He stuttered: "Big...Big Princess, did my wife offend you?"
