Chapter 186 Corruption

He had always been conscientious and devoted to his duties. He used to manage the treasury for the late emperor in the palace. Later, after the death of the late emperor, he was assigned by the Queen Mother to Prince Li's Mansion to help Chu Xuanchen manage the accounting room.

The accounts he has managed are very clear about the incoming and outgoing accounts, with no mistakes left, the flow is clear, and there is never any error, so Chu Xuanchen trusts him very much.

Unexpectedly, something would happen to him as soon as Nangong Rou came.

One day, when Nangong Rou was checking the accounts, he found that an expense on the accounts had changed.

She only withdrew one hundred taels of silver to buy clothes and jewelry, but Uncle Hua recorded it as one thousand one hundred taels.

She immediately discovered that Uncle Hua had embezzled a thousand taels of silver here, so she took people to look for it in Uncle Hua's room, and sure enough she found a bag of silver under his bed.

Take it out and count it, it is exactly one thousand taels.

She immediately took this evidence to Chu Xuanchen and said that Uncle Hua had embezzled the palace's public funds and accused him of embezzling a thousand taels of silver.

After Chu Xuanchen saw the evidence and heard the witnesses who participated in the search, he was very angry and drove Uncle Hua away.

Nangong Rou followed the trend and summoned his cousin, a sour scholar named Li, to manage the accounting room.

Chu Xuanchen was busy with military affairs, and because he trusted Nangong Rou, he had no time to care about such trivial matters, so he agreed to Nangong Rou's request.

Thinking of this, Yun Ruoyue couldn't help but shake her head. It's really hard for a hero to be a beauty.

Chu Xuanchen, a god of war, actually let Nangong Rou fool him in family matters.

mark("zhong");

She had heard from Nanny Li that the accounts done by the new Li Xiucai were unclear. With him around, the amount paid to Yurou Pavilion in the palace was more than ten times higher, while the other courtyards were much less.

.

Maybe it was because there was something wrong with his account book, so she sent someone to call him, but he didn't dare to come.

Seeing that Yun Ruoyue was about to call Uncle Hua, Nangong Rou said angrily: "Princess, Uncle Hua was kicked out of the palace by the prince because he embezzled a thousand taels of silver from the palace. How can you let him manage the accounts again?

You are just acting nonsense, aren't you afraid that the prince will be angry?"

"Whether Uncle Hua has embezzled public funds or not, this matter has not yet been determined. I will wait until I find out first." Yun Ruoyue said.

At this moment, at the entrance of the courtyard, a thin man who looked like a scholar walked in with a large stack of ledgers in his arms.

"Princess, I'm here. Sorry, I was sorting out the ledgers just now, so I'm late." After Li Xiucai finished speaking, he put all the ledgers on the table.

He wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve again, looking out of breath, as if he had really worked hard.

At this time, the housekeeper had already sent someone to call Uncle Hua in.

Uncle Hua had been living in the palace before. Ever since he was fired, he was unwilling and wanted to redress his grievances against Chu Xuanchen, so he rented a small house near the palace to live.

But he has never been able to see Chu Xuanchen.

Since he lived close to the palace, the housekeeper quickly found him.

As soon as he heard that the princess wanted to see him, he immediately said excitedly: "Princess, my wife, I was wronged. I did not embezzle any money from the accounting room. I don't know why the number in the accounting room changed, let alone the thousand."

Why did two pieces of silver come into my room? Please tell me."

When the housekeeper sent someone to call Uncle Hua, the man had already briefly told Uncle Hua about the princess' headship.

When Uncle Hua heard that the princess wanted to reuse him, he was very excited. He really hoped that the princess could clear his grievances.
