.,The fastest update of the arrogant ghost doctor concubine,The evil king, please be obedient to the latest chapter!

Su Yi had already prepared lunch and refreshments, originally she planned to wait for another cup of tea, if they didn't come out, she would send it in, just when they came out at this time, just in time for dinner.

"It's still the queen's heart." Nangong Qing praised him, he was really thirsty.

I was in a hurry to go in just now, and I forgot to bring tea, and then when the matter was about the point, they also ignored this problem, until they came out, they found that they hadn't drunk tea in the morning, and several of them were a little thirsty and a little hungry.

Without saying a word, they grabbed the refreshments on the table and ate them.

Gonggong Sun heard the movement inside outside, and hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, just now Master Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came, saying that he had something important to report, and the servant asked him to wait in the imperial study." “

As soon as a few people heard it, Li Donglai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"When did he come?" Nangong Qing asked.

"About half an hour's work." Sun Gong is fair.

A few people knew each other, but Luo Qingluan reacted first: "Nangong Qing, do you want to see each other or let's go together?" It just so happened that they also wanted to ask this Li Donglai, the tribute sent by Dongwan had been robbed for more than a month, and he, who was a scholar, did he know about it?

"Let's go together, anyway, we have to get in touch, if he knows, he will be the first to brush him on the spot, if he doesn't know, he will also be punished for dereliction of duty." Nangong Qing now has a clear mind, and after a morning of discussion, he found that these people have been a little too lenient in the past few years, causing them to be unfaithful to their positions and responsibilities, and it is time to clean them up.

Luo Qingluan nodded, and then Nangong Yu went, and Nalan Changyi continued to stay in Su Yi's palace to play with Nangong Yun and Nangong Yuxuan.

Luo Qingluan and Nalan followed Nangong Qing to the imperial study, and Li Donglai waited alone in the imperial study for nearly an hour, not knowing what was going on, and was very frightened.

"Your Majesty has arrived." The voice of the little eunuch sounded, and Li Donglai hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

"Your Majesty."

"No courtesy." Then a gust of wind passed in front of Li Donglai and walked to the upper seat.

Li Donglai raised his head, and then he saw the king of Chu and the princess of Chu who came in with Nangong Qing, and he was stunned for a moment, and his voice trembled: "Xia Guan has seen and seen Chu, King Chu...... Princess Chu ......"

Li Donglai was taken aback, he didn't know when these two lords came, why didn't he receive the news!

Oh my God, the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu, who had been missing for more than three years, finally returned, but their faces were not very good. And His Majesty, who also had a gloomy face, it was conceivable that something must have happened.

At this time, Li Donglai was even more flustered.

"Why did Lord Shangshu swallow and vomit?" Nalan Ye said lightly.

Li Donglai stood up straight at a loss: "This ...... Lord Chu Wang, the lower officials are just, just ......"

"Master Li, don't you have something important to look for? What's up? Let's talk about it. Interrupting his words, Nangong Qing has not commented on the folds since the morning, and now the folds in front of him have been piled up into a mountain, and each one is waiting for him to review it.

Only then did he react, Li Donglai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is the case, the minister received a declaration this morning, the content of the declaration is that a batch of tributes were transported from Dongwan at the end of last year, and they were hijacked by a group of Jiangyang thieves halfway, with countless casualties and all the tributes. Because of the heavy snow that closed the mountain during the year, I have only received this news, but time has passed

More than a month, I'm afraid that the tribute will not be found, but the dead and injured are all escort officials on Dongwan's side, and the incident happened in my territory. “

Li Donglai handed the declaration form in his hand that came early in the morning and handed it to Nangong Qing.

Nangong Qing looked at the content above, his hands were clenched together, and he could almost hear the sound of his fists clenching: "Presumptuous!"

What fell in response was the declaration form in Nangong Qing's hand, and it fell straight in front of Li Donglai.

"Your Majesty!" Li Donglai was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground.

"The emperor is angry, I don't know what it is, why is the emperor so angry?"

It shouldn't be, Li Donglai has read the above content no less than ten times, and he is sure that there is no problem, so he dares to report it to Nangong Qing, otherwise he will not dare to come to see him if he is killed.

"What's the content?" Nangong Qing gritted his teeth and said, "What else do you want to ask me?" If I haven't received the tribute, I'm still going to stick a few million taels to him, right? Whose idea was this?" If it weren't for Nangong Qing who heard Nalan Ye and them in advance today, I wouldn't know what they were going to do today?

Those who don't know think it's Dongwan's people who are stirring up trouble.

"The emperor is angry, we have reported it like this in the past, and this time it was the people from Dongwan who happened in our territory, and there were about 20 people in the team escorting the tribute, not to mention the tribute, just 20 lives, and tens of thousands of taels of silver would be compensated." Li Donglai didn't know why Nangong Qing was angry.

Nangong Qing pointed to the declaration form on the ground: "Let the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu take a look and see if they are angry?"

Li Donglai looked at the King of Chu and Princess Chu for some reason, and picked up the declaration form on the ground and gave it to Nalan Ye.

After Nalan Ye glanced at it, she gave it to Luo Qingluan, and she read the content above in ten lines at a glance: "Lord Li, how can such a declaration form be shown to His Majesty, this kind of rude request, at first glance, contains elements of deception, I don't know how Lord Li is usually responsible for the affairs underneath?"

Just said this sentence, Li Donglai felt inexplicable.

"Why did Princess Chu say this?" At this time, Li Donglai was already confused, and he didn't know what happened to everyone today.

But it was also the fulfillment of his feeling just now, it was really not a good thing to see them.

"Master Li, think about it, if the tributes sent by each country are lost in our territory, and the other party opens and closes his mouth to ask for millions of taels, how much silver do you think we can compensate? Besides, it is their responsibility to escort unfavorably, if they all come to do this, can Xichu withstand such a toss? If the tribute can't be delivered on time, shouldn't they be careful that we call the door, why should they compensate them? It's hilarious!"

He thought that the silver was a trivial matter, but in fact, they didn't need to pay a penny at all, and Dongwan had to be held accountable for this matter.

"Also, we actually knew about this matter last year, and besides, we have been tracking down this Jiangyang gang for a year, so far Lord Li, I really don't know anything about it?"

As soon as Luo Qingluan's words came out, Li Donglai was stunned: "The lower officials don't know, how did the lower officials know?"

In the past, the tribute was sent to the post house, and the people who came to the Ministry of Rites to declare it, said that the things had arrived, and then the palace sent people to the post house to receive the tribute, and after receiving it, they invited the envoys to dinner together, and then they could go back on their own.

Li Donglai has

A little surprised, because he only heard about this in the morning, and as soon as he heard the news, he came to Nangong Qing, but they even knew the news before him, why is this?

"I don't know, but we've been chasing this group of gangs for a year now, and we're almost going to catch them, Lord Li is really derelict in his duties, as a gift book, don't you know how much tribute the palace has to pay every year? I don't even know if the tribute from below comes, and when it comes every year?"

The time of tribute in each region is different, and Dongwan's tribute should have been sent to the palace at the end of last year, but there was no such tribute last year, so he didn't even say it?

Oh yes, he's been snowing just now. It can't be just a mountain closure with heavy snow, right?

"Dereliction of duty!" Li Dong said, and suddenly understood what had happened, "Your Majesty, the minister is derelict in his duties, the minister doesn't know when this batch of tributes was lost, and he doesn't know who the other party is, if the minister knows that the other party used heavy snow to seal the mountain last year to prevaricate the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely present a report to the emperor early, how dare you hide it?"

Li Donglai really wanted to cry without tears, he was really innocent, and he looked at a loss.

When Luo Qingluan saw him, it didn't seem like he was lying, I was afraid that he had nothing to do with him.

"You know what?" Nangong Qing suddenly said: "If it weren't for the fact that I had just listened to the ins and outs of this matter from the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu this morning, the treasury would now be less than a thousand taels of silver, if they didn't come back, I might have been kept in the dark, and I don't know what the use of these officials is?"

Sometimes Nangong Qing is really angry, all of them are wine bags and rice bags!

"The emperor is angry, and the lower officials will go back to investigate the interior, and set up a special team to thoroughly investigate the matter. I also ask the emperor to give the lower officials a chance to redeem their merits, if they can't find these thieves, the ministers are willing to resign from the post of Shangshu and apologize for their crimes with death!"

Li Donglai knew that he was in the position of this Shangshu, and he had to be responsible for his own affairs, whether he knew it or not, such a thing happened during his jurisdiction, and he could not escape the blame, and his failure to find the whereabouts of the tribute in the first place was already a crime, and now that the matter has come to this, he is not calm.

Even if you are afraid, it is useless, the emperor wants to die in the third watch, and he will definitely not live in the fifth watch. Instead of waiting for the trial, it is better to take the initiative to ask for your life and catch the black hand to prove your loyalty and strength.

"Lord Li, there is no need to apologize for the crime with death, it is not so exaggerated, but if Lord Li can cooperate with the investigation, our people will enter the Ministry of Rites at that time, and it will be good to look at the arrangement at that time." Nalan Ye said word by word, Li Donglai listened, half-understood, but he could also understand a little.

"What do you mean?"

"The manpower to investigate the case, they have to use their own people to investigate the inside, but if you investigate this case thoroughly, you may not be able to find anything by your people alone, so give a little bit of my people to cooperate with the investigation, and we have already mastered the basic information of several suspects, these people Lord Li may also know, but please don't make a noise and handle the case in a low-key manner when the time comes."

Nalan Ye explained, and Luo Qingluan wrote down several key things to do when he checked the interior.

"Find this way to do it, and it will work quickly."

Li Dong looked at the note in his hand, and then looked at Nangong Qing, with a question written in his eyes.

"Listen to the princess." Nangong Qing nodded.

"Yes!"
