Chapter 186: Corruption

He has been conscientious, he has served the public, he used to manage the treasury for the first emperor in the palace, and after the first emperor died, he was assigned by the queen mother to the Liwang Mansion to help Chu Xuanchen manage the account room.

The accounts that have been managed by him are very clear in and out, not a single penny, the flow is clear, and there is never any mistake, so Chu Xuanchen trusts him very much.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Nangong Rou came, he had an accident.

One day, when Nangong Rou checked the accounts, she found that an expense on the account had changed.

At that time, she only withdrew 100 taels of silver to buy clothes and jewelry, but Uncle Hua recorded it as 1,100 taels.

She immediately found out that Uncle Hua had embezzled 1,000 taels of silver here, so she took someone to Uncle Hua's room to look for it, and sure enough, she found a bag of silver under his bed.

Take it out and count it, it's exactly a thousand taels.

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

Chu Xuanchen looked at the evidence and listened to the witnesses who participated in the search at that time, and was very angry at that time, so he drove Uncle Hua away.

Nangong Rou took advantage of the situation to blow the pillow wind to him, and summoned his cousin, a sour Xiucai surnamed Li, to him and let him manage the account room.

Chu Xuanchen was busy with military affairs, and he trusted Nangong Rou, so he didn't have time to care about these trivial matters, so he agreed to Nangong Rou's request.

-

Thinking of this, Yun Ruoyue couldn't help but shake her head, it was really a hero who was sad about the beauty.

Chu Xuanchen is a god of war, and in family affairs, he actually let Nangong Rou fool him.

mark(β€œzhongβ€œ);

She had heard Mama Li say that the accounts made by this newcomer Li Xiucai were not clear, and with him, the amount of money withdrawn from the palace to Yurou Pavilion was more than ten times more, but the other courtyards were much less.

Probably because there was something wrong with his ledger, she sent someone to call him, but he didn't dare to come.

Nangong Rou saw that Yun Ruoyue was going to call Uncle Hua over, and immediately said coldly: "Princess, Uncle Hua was driven 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 nonsense, you are not afraid that the prince will be angry?" ”

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

At this moment, at the entrance of the courtyard, a thin man with a beautiful appearance walked in with a large stack of ledgers.

"Princess, I'm down, I'm sorry, I'm sorting out the account books just now, so I'm late." After Li Xiucai finished speaking, he put all the ledgers on the table.

He wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve again, and looked panting, 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, and since he was dismissed, he was unwilling and always wanted to seek revenge from Chu Xuanchen, so he rented a small house near the palace to live.

However, he has never been able to see Chu Xuanchen.

Since he lived close to the palace, the butler quickly brought him in.

As soon as he heard that the princess wanted to see him, he suddenly said excitedly: "Princess Niangniang, I was wronged, I didn't embezzle the money in the account room at all, I don't know how the amount in the account room changed, and I don't know how the 1,000 taels of silver came to my room. ”

When the housekeeper sent someone to call Uncle Hua, that person had already roughly told Uncle Hua about the princess's house.

When Uncle Hua heard that the princess was going to reuse him, he was very excited in his heart, and he really hoped that the princess could wash away his grievances.
