"That's good!" He still trusted his son's ability.
Lingxuan always felt that the father and son had something to say, but she couldn't find out, and she couldn't ask too much, so she pursed her lips and thought about how to face the storm below.
There is no need to wait for the results in a few days, just to start the inventory, there is news from Bai Momo's side, saying that the princess's dowry is missing a lot... When Yun Lingxuan gets married, whether it is from the Yun family or someone else adds makeup, Or the things sent by Sifang City are all precious and unique, so any missing things can be found out after a search.
After receiving the news from the steward, Lingxuan and the others all went to the yard, where the few people who had handled the dowry were kneeling, all with innocent faces, howling grievances...
"Concubine Shizi, look, these two lists are missing one-third of the items," Nanny Bai glared at those greedy things, thinking that everything belonging to Concubine Shizi is precious and extraordinary. Yes, for stealing so much, it really deserves to be cut alive.
Lingxuan looked at the places that Nanny Bai had marked, and saw that they were all small and precious things that were not used easily, so she gave the paper to Wanqi Chengyan, and let him be the bad guy. When those people saw her, they might refute more words. Why did she let herself be angry for nothing.
"Where did the concubine's things go?" At this moment, Wan Qi Chengyan no longer had a foolish smile, nor did he have a ruffian-like smile. Instead, he had the ruthless appearance that Lingxuan had seen for the first time.
At this moment, he is the real Wanqi Chengyan he knows.
"Report to my son, the things were moved in by the old slaves, but I haven't checked the list, and I don't know what's going on!" An old woman took the lead in boldly opening her mouth to argue, thinking that if it was known, then It's really dead and can't die anymore.
"That's right, I don't know if there is something wrong with the crown princess's dowry list, and she is slandering the old slaves with non-existent things!" The other took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, trying to change the direction of the wind.
"You black-hearted bastards, how dare you slander my master like this," Bai Momo was the first to bear it no longer, she cursed angrily at them, and mocked in a cold voice: "Since ancient times, whose dowry Is it random? Sending dowry into the palace, isn’t that all counted? For your dirty thoughts, you dare to ruin my master’s reputation, I really don’t cry when I see the coffin... My lord, the wedding in the palace has not passed yet For a few days, these people were still thinking about getting something out, but they probably didn’t sell what they had in their hands, so let people search and find out if it’s true or not!”
There are so many dowries of the master, and they are drying under their noses all day long. If you get a benefit once, you will have a second time. Can greedy idiots bear it? It must be thinking about the next time, so she was sure that the things must still be hidden in the palace.
"Search," Wan Qicheng gave an order coldly.
"Wait a minute," Lingxuan shouted suddenly, and everyone cast doubtful eyes on her, and she said seriously: "Take them there, so that they can see it with their own eyes, so that they won't say that the palace has wronged you." Kill them," these old slaves are the most cunning, in order to survive, they can't do anything or say anything.
Seeing such a situation, the old slaves who were still holding out hope all wanted to die, and cried loudly: "My lord is wronged, I have worked so hard for the palace for so many years. Credit also has hard work, why bother to be bullied like this!"
In such a play, Lingxuan raised her eyebrows, she really couldn't see the coffin without crying.
Ahem, such a person would not want to die when he saw the coffin.
"Shut up, everyone," Wan Tengmei'er tried her best when she heard the crying voice, and ordered sternly, "Housekeeper, find something to shut up these people's mouths, because there is a wedding in the palace. Who's watching?"
"Yes." Knowing that the master is serious this time, the butler didn't dare to delay at all, and directly asked people to gag these mouths, no matter what it is, there are all things that can be imagined, smelly, messy Yes, it's pitch black, and everything that can be taken out has been taken out.
Closing those mouths, he was suddenly quiet.
Those people were tied up and escorted to the place where the subordinates lived. Lingxuan and the others followed, and they didn't need to use much force. Those old mothers thought that the things in the palace were very easy to carry, even if they were placed under the quilt, they were not deep at all. The meaning of hiding is so bold.
All kinds of things were turned out, and Nanny Bai cursed repeatedly, wishing to go up and kick those filthy old guys to death, and spoil the master's good things for nothing.
Those priceless things were carefully moved to the middle of the yard, and under the sunlight, they emitted their own light.
"Master, this thing seems to be from the palace," the housekeeper couldn't help but signaled when he saw something familiar.
"Really?" Such a situation has been known for a long time, and now such an investigation is nothing more than finding a stronger excuse for rectification.
"Brother, this seems to be the string of plum blossom and coral bracelets you brought me from outside. It was specially made by someone, and it was said to be the string of worries in the world." Meier saw her own things appearing here, Immediately stunned.
The red coral bracelet in the shape of a plum blossom is even more dazzling in the sun, and it also hurt Meier's heart.
She turned around and looked at the maids who were taking care of her, the sharpness in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
It was a gift from her elder brother, and she was reluctant to take it with her, and kept it for others to treasure, but unexpectedly, her treasure had already fallen into the hands of others. If it hadn't been for the big trouble this time and the investigation of these old Diao Nu's things, maybe in a few days, her bracelet would have fallen into someone else's hands.
Thinking of this, she trembled with anger.
"Mei'er, don't be angry, my father will let your elder brother thoroughly investigate the matter," Lingxuan knew how much Mei'er cared about these things, just like she cared about this family, so if someone offends her bottom line, it is tantamount to It completely made her explode.
Just like when Shi Pingting taunted her back then, she forbears it. However, she couldn't tolerate anyone mocking Prince Yong's mansion, that's why Shi Pingting ended up like that.
"Tie those things up," Prince Yong ordered loudly when he saw his precious daughter trembling with anger, and his heart ached.
"Princess, this servant has been wronged," several people were tied up, their faces turned pale with fright, and they cried out for help.
"Whether you were wronged or not, you'll know when you check it out, whoever dares to say a word now, let the housekeeper shut your mouth!" Lingxuan was given a headache by those crying voices, and threatened directly .
The maids were about to cry, but when they heard Shi Zifei's words, they thought of what was stuffed into the old lady's mouth, and immediately closed their mouths tightly, not daring to shout anymore.
Just like what Wanqi Chengyan said to Lingxuan before, the palace is harmonious on the surface, but deep down, it is rotten to the bottom. This kind of rot is not because of the master, but because of those servants who are like maggots, corroding the things in the palace all day long, which has reached a shocking level.
In addition to Wan Chengmei'er's plum blossom coral bracelet being stolen, one piece after another, it's hard to believe.
Some were done together, and some were stolen alone, so when it is really found out, the contents inside can be imagined.
"Aren't you afraid that someone will really steal something to frame Prince Yong's mansion?" Lingxuan lowered her voice and whispered to Wanqi Chengyan.
"Knowing that they have such a heart, will I give them such a chance?" Wan Qi Chengyan smiled meaningfully.
Lingxuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
That's right, except for Meier's things that were stolen because of the unreliable maids around her, the other things stolen by other people looked luxurious and valuable, but they didn't really belong to Prince Yong's Mansion.
For example, the things sent by others are put into storage, there is a list, and they take it away, and there is a real quarrel, that is, they are rewarded to the servants, and it is useless if they have intentions.
It took four days for Prince Yong's mansion to search all the things in the mansion, and the loss of money is conservatively estimated to be hundreds of thousands of taels. The already shaking capital was shocked.
Hundreds of thousands of taels is not cheap for a palace. After all, it is calculated according to the value of things. In other families with rich background, the real valuables are those hidden things. little thing.
"I trust you old fellows, so I haven't interrogated you all these years, and you just treated me like this?" Prince Yong's anger was delayed for more than 20 years. "Is there a shortage of food for you in the palace, or is there a shortage of food for you to drink? To do such a nasty thing, housekeeper,"
"The old slave is here," the butler immediately walked out in a terrified voice.
"Sort out the deeds of sale of these non-beasts, have people search their homes, and recover all the losses of Prince Yong's mansion. If they can't be recovered, I will be cut into pieces by the king," said the prince in the mansion. , It's time to clean it up.
"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, please forgive me..." At this moment, everyone was afraid, and their cries shook the sky.
"Whoever dares to cry, first cut off his flesh piece by piece." In the bloodthirsty threat, there is an urge to see red.
Lingxuan looked at the prince who was not quite right, reached out to poke Wanqi Chengyan's waist secretly, and asked in a low voice, "Is father alright!?"
Wan Chengyan's eyes fell on his father, which was also extremely complicated.
"Back then, after my mother and concubine passed away, I almost had an accident..." Wan Qi Chengyan whispered out his father's resentment, which really surprised Lingxuan.
Because those old things are so arrogant, they actually have the idea of spending money to eliminate disasters, so after the initial calculation of Wanqi Chengyan, these people stopped because of the benefits. It is also because of this that Wan Qi Chengyan and Wan Qi Meier can live in peace until now.
This kind of death made Lingxuan feel surprised, it was a bit unbelievable.
