"Hey!" Xiao Ningzi hurriedly helped Nala's hand and left the Changyin Pavilion, leaving behind the restless actors on the stage.
While waiting for Liu Hu's reply, Hongli entered the palace and talked about his errands at the Ministry of Household Affairs. There was nothing uncomfortable about it, especially since Zhaohui and Agui were also at the Ministry of Household Affairs together.
Whatever is difficult can be solved through discussion.
"I originally thought that the Ministry of Household Affairs was only in charge of things like grain taxes. But after I went there, I found out that the Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of many things. All money and taxes had to go through the Ministry of Household Affairs, as well as household registration.
, land, military supplies, etc., are all under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs." When saying this, Hongli was a little excited.
Seeing him like this, Ling Ruo chuckled and said: "Among the six departments, the affairs of the household department are the most complicated. Although it is harder for you to go there, you can learn far more than the other departments.
, you have to study hard and don’t be lax and make mistakes.”
"I know that I have been listening attentively to the teachings of the Minister, Minister, and other adults. When they discuss matters, I often listen carefully." At this point, Hongli changed the subject and said: "By the way, I
Yesterday, when I went to the teahouse with Agui and the others to drink tea,
, I happened to see a prison car driving into the Ministry of Justice. I heard that the person sitting in the prison car was Ama from Huigui. He was taken to the capital to await trial for embezzlement and perverting the law. However, the money that was stolen from Mo was said to have never been found. E Niang
, what do you think the Ministry of Punishment will impose on me in this case?"
Ling Ruo's eyelids twitched and said: "I also know something about this matter, but I didn't know that he had arrived in the capital so soon. As for how to sentence him, the Ministry of Punishment has its own laws according to which he will definitely not be unjust or wrongfully indulged.
Anyone."
Hongli frowned and said: "My dear, it seems that there is not much peace in the capital recently. The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture also arrested people from the Liu House before, saying that they would beat them to death."
"When there are more people, there will naturally be more things. It's nothing strange. You're on duty, so don't bother with these irrelevant things." With that said, a palace official brought some snacks, and Ling Ruo said, "Eniang knew you were coming.
, I made these snacks that you like to eat on weekdays, try them quickly."
"Yes." Hongli responded while putting a piece of mung bean cake into his mouth and praised: "Eniang's craftsmanship is a hundred times better than those chefs."
Ling Ruo smiled and said angrily: "Stop being so glib in front of E Niang. Eat your snacks. After eating, E Niang will go to Xianfu Palace with you. I have been thinking about you very much."
"My son, I also miss my aunt very much." With that said, after eating a few snacks, Hongli and Lingruo came to Xianfu Palace together. Seeing Hongli, Guarjia was surprised and happy, and quickly called her
Cong Xiang said: "Go to the small kitchen quickly and ask the imperial chef to cook some of Brother Si's favorite dishes. Work quickly so you don't miss lunch."
Ling Ruo pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Sister is really partial. I came here with Hongli, but sister just remembered to make Hongli's favorite medicine and left me alone."
"How old are you to be jealous of a child? You are in the palace every day and can be seen at any time. Hongli is different. He has been away from the palace for so many days and this is the first time he has come back. Naturally, he is more important."
Saying this, she pulled Hongli to take a closer look, and said distressedly: "Well, I have lost some weight, but I didn't eat well outside? Or maybe the servants didn't take care of me well?"
Hongli knew that she was concerned about him and said quickly: "Everything is fine, Auntie, don't worry. Besides, Hongli is almost sixteen years old and knows how to take care of himself."
Guarjia said warmly: "Having said that, you have lived with me and your mother for nearly sixteen years, and now you suddenly leave. How can I not be worried at all, let alone your mother.
"
"It's Hongli's unfilial piety that makes E Niang and my concubine so worried." As soon as Hongli finished speaking, Guarjia shook his head and said, "This is the way you should go. There is nothing unfilial. My concubine is just feeling it."
That's all. Forget about that, why don't you talk to my aunt about things outside the palace? Since I served your emperor, I don't know how many years I haven't been out."
Naturally, Hongli would not refuse Guarjia's request. He talked in detail about what he saw and heard outside the palace until lunch time. After the meal, he talked for a while, until the shadow of the sun turned
Xi, just said goodbye and left.
After Hongli walked away, Ling Ruo withdrew her gaze and said, "Hongli told me just now that Shu Mulu Gongming has been taken to the capital, and the date of the trial of the Ministry of Punishment should not be far away."
Guarjia's eyelids twitched and he said, "Have you not found the silver yet?"
Ling Ruo shook his head and said, "Well, it's really strange. I checked everywhere but still can't figure out where Shu Mulu Gongming hid the money."
"What about Liu Hu? Is there any news?"
Regarding this question, Ling Ruo still shook his head, "Not yet, and Ru Liu hasn't come back either."
Guarjia said in confusion: "It's strange, where did Shumulu send Ruliu to? It took so long?" After thinking carefully for a while, a bold idea suddenly came to Guarjia's mind. Shumulu had gone to see him.
The only purpose of asking the Queen to save Shu Mulu Gongming was to save such a person who had committed a serious crime.
Even with the power of the Queen's family, it is not an easy task. The joints at the top and bottom of the Criminal Department must be opened up. There are so many people up and down. It is not enough to rely on favors and face. There must be money to clear the way. Mr. Shu Mulu is just a noble person.
There will definitely not be a lot of money that can be used, so there is only one way to collect money.
Seeing that Guarjia's face looked a little strange, Ling Ruo asked, "What did sister think of?"
Guarjia nodded and said, "I was wondering if Shumulu sent Ruliu out of the palace to get money."
"Silver?" Ling Ruo was about to ask what kind of silver it was, when she suddenly understood what Guarjia meant, "Sister, are you talking about the money that Shu Mulu Gongming was greedy for?"
Guarjia said solemnly: "Yes, we don't know what Shumulu Gongming wrote in the letter, but Shumulu is his only daughter and the only person who can save him, as long as he really has this money.
, he will definitely tell Mr. Shu Mulu, let
She tried to use the silver to save him. The Shumulu family could not leave the palace. In this case, she must have sent her most trusted Ru Liu to get the silver, break it into silver notes and bring it into the palace. In other words, as long as she followed
Like Liu, it is very likely that you will find the location of the 120,000 taels of silver."
After the initial surprise, Ling Ruo raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a cold smile: "If this is really the case, then it will be no matter how hard you try to find it. It will take no effort at all."
