Chapter 246
The rain started to fall again, and the sky was gray and overcast.
Yu Zheng held an umbrella and led Jiang Shu back to the main courtyard. As soon as he sat down and took a sip of hot tea, Chu Yu came to report.
"Your Majesty, Princess, Zhuo Teng would like to see you."
Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng looked at each other and understood that Zhuo Teng must have something important to report.
"Let him in."
Chu Yu turned around and quickly brought Zhuo Teng.
Zhuo Teng bowed and said bluntly: "I have one more thing to explain."
After several years in the palace, Zhuo Teng had already seen clearly the situation in the palace. Wu Qian, Mo Liang and others are in cahoots and are in the same boat.
Now that he has given evidence to bring down Wu Qian, Mo Liang will definitely not let him go afterwards.
He is a buddy, and Mo Liang has countless ways to make things difficult for him, and he has no power to resist.
After much thought, there was only one way. That is to do nothing without stopping, and directly kill Wu Qian and others in one fell swoop, so that the palace can change its fate.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Shu asked calmly, looking at Zhuo Teng.
Zhuo Teng looked like he was only in his twenties, with thick eyebrows, clear eyes, elegant temperament, and a bookish air.
Zhuo Teng thought about it and spoke in a serious voice: "I have been working under Manager Wu for many years. I accidentally heard that he, Manager Mo and others seemed to be working together to lend money outside the palace and collect loans in the name of the palace. No one dared to resist."
"What?" Jiang Shu was shocked when he heard this, and Yu Zheng's expression also changed drastically.
Lending is against the law, and forcing debt is even more serious, even in the name of the palace!
If this matter is true and people know that they have been caught, Yu Zheng will be punished for a serious crime of negligence.
This matter is of great importance. Yu Zheng stared at Zhuo Teng and asked coldly: "Is this hearsay or fact?"
Zhuo Teng did not dare to look at Yu Zheng, and lowered his head and said: "I just heard something and don't know the details. But there is no ground. This matter should be close to 100%, and the prince will know it once he investigates."
Check, of course he wants to check!
Yu Zheng's dark eyes were cold: "Zhufeng."
"Master." Zhufeng bowed and stood ready.
Yu Zheng ordered in a cold voice: "Immediately take people to search the house of Mo Liang and others, imprison Mo Liang and others, and interrogate them separately."
"Yes." Zhufeng followed the order.
Yu Zheng looked at Zhuo Teng in the corridor and asked sternly: "Since you have heard about it a long time ago, why did you only report it today?"
It had only been five or six years since he left the palace and opened a palace, but something like this happened in the palace. If anyone was asked to participate in the performance at court, he would definitely be punished.
This matter is important, and everyone involved may be guilty of the same crime. Zhuo Teng knelt down and considered it: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I only heard about this matter last year, and there is no real evidence. It coincides with the prince's wedding and there is a great joy in the house, so I don't dare to Feel free to speak nonsense.”
"Then why do you dare to speak out today?" Yu Zheng pressed.
Zhuo Teng understood that if this matter was done well, he would have great achievements. But if he doesn't get it right, Yu Zheng will punish him for concealing and not retaliating.
So Zhuo Teng tensed up and said: "Everyone in the house knows that Manager Mo is on good terms with Manager Wu. I have testified today and confirmed Manager Wu's charges. I will definitely be resented by Manager Mo for revenge."
"Just now I saw Manager Mo leaving in a hurry. The villain suddenly remembered this matter and immediately came to report to the prince and princess."
After Jiang Shu heard this, he said something unclear: "You know practical things."
Zhuo Teng said: "This villain is loyal to the palace and has absolutely no evil intentions. Please tell me clearly."
Yu Zheng stared for a long time and said coldly: "Since you heard about their loan, you must know something inside. I asked you to investigate. If you do well, I will reward you. If you have second thoughts, I will definitely not No tolerance.”
"Yes." Zhuo Teng agreed bravely.
He had expected such consequences before coming.
It's a danger, but it's also an opportunity.
He was originally a scholar, and it was easy for him to work as a steward in the palace, but he was suppressed by Wu Qian Mo Liang and others, and never had a chance to get ahead.
The opportunity was now rare, and he must seize it.
Not to be missed.
After Zhuo Teng left, Tan Yu whispered: "Princess, lunch has been delivered."
"Set it." Jiang Shu pursed her lips, not in the mood to eat.
But if she doesn't eat, the baby in her belly has to eat too.
Yu Zheng understood this, so he suppressed his anger and calmed down his expression to have a meal with Jiang Shu.
After the meal, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng went into the inner room to discuss today's events in detail.
Yu Zheng never thought that something like this would happen in the mansion.
He holds a high position and shoulders important responsibilities, so he naturally takes care of the internal affairs of the house. If Jiang Shu hadn't taken over the general affairs of the mansion and forced out the dirty things in the mansion, he might still have been kept in the dark.
When the Dongchuang incident happens that day, it will be difficult to recover.
"Now you know how important the mistress of the house is." Jiang Shu deliberately joked to ease Yu Zheng's anger.
Now that something has happened, it's useless to get angry anymore. It will only hurt your body. It's better to think calmly and calmly to solve the problem.
Yu Zheng sighed: "Well, thanks to you."
He had never had any contact with the general affairs of the government, and was entangled in government affairs. In addition, he did not know much about the general affairs of the inner house, so he naturally neglected his control.
"Stop frowning. From now on, if I look after the palace for you, there won't be such troubles again." Jiang Shu raised his hand and gently smoothed Yu Zheng's frowning brows.
Yu Zheng was deeply moved when he heard this, and finally understood the meaning of "the man is the master of the outside world and the woman is the master of the house". Only when a husband and wife work together can they prosper and prosper.
