Chapter 72 – Dog Emperor!

Seeing the other party’s calm demeanor, Fang Qingxue felt even more that she was sent by the emperor, and immediately felt that she didn’t have any need to hide anything.

“I have always been responsible for reconciling the accounts under the jurisdiction of the Internal Affairs Bureau. And these two years, the accounts of the Imperial Medicine Division are always delayed for days, and although the number of silvers handed over afterward can all be reconciled, the signature of the column of the Imperial Medicine Division in charge of receiving and inspecting medicines is always very vague.

“I have reported to He Shangshu, He Shangshu said at first do not care, as long as the number of right on the line. Later, after more times, He Shangshu bluntly told me not to care about things I shouldn’t care about! I wouldn’t dare to say anything.”

“Then what are they insisting on dragging Lord Shang for?”

Fang Qingxue looked deeply at her, “There is some crucial evidence about the Imperial Medicine Division that happens to be known to me.”

“What evidence?”

Fang Qingxue took a sip of milk tea, “Servant Zhao, there are some things that I can’t just say out loud.”

Zhao Su neighed, but soon Fang Qingxue spoke down, “But I also know that because Squire Zhao was sent by the Emperor, and you are the Marquis of Qingyun’s daughter, this night, someone from Fang has taken on the girl’s heavy favor, if it wasn’t for you striking out in time, then I wouldn’t know how I could get out of it. So it wouldn’t be considered casual for me to tell you.”

Zhao Su’s heart fluttered wildly, this ancient people all like to gasp?

“If you tell you, Shi En’s offense is not considered casual.”

“……”

Zhao Su’s mouth opened into an O shape!

“Shi En has been in office for many years and is not clean, his old mother who retired in her ancestral home had a hundred taels of silver to collect ten hectares of land from a local rich family. The reason I know about this is because some of the accounts handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, many of which are related to Bozhou, Shi En’s hometown.

“I’m a timid person, He Shangshu’s attitude really makes me unsure, so I took advantage of my position and checked Bozhou side a little, the original owner of the ten hectares of land that Shi’s mother received in the first place is related to the accounts of the Imperial Medicine Division.”

“The one who received the land was Shi’s mother, then does Shi’en herself know about this matter?”

“Definitely know, otherwise, how come Shi En refused to produce evidence until now? Moreover, Mr. Fang checked the ownership of the ten hectares of land, and who knew that it was Shi En. Of course this ten hectares of land matter court also checked, the emperor already know, it is because the verification is correct, earlier the emperor will insist on investigating and punishing him! It was only later that the Empress Dowager insisted on bailing out, and only then did the Emperor reopen the review again.”

Zhao Su did not know what to say for the better, both she and Empress Dowager Lu thought Shi En was wrongly accused, not realizing that he really did have corruption!

Nowadays, a mu of land is only thirty taels, ten hectares is five hundred mu, calculated is more than ten thousand taels of silver, compared with the total price of his impeachment is not much, but more than ten thousand taels of silver accounted for, in itself, has been quite a lot of money! Leaving aside whether that one hundred thousand taels was all planted, at least this money is really unaccountable.

“Moreover, this is not a matter of more money or less money, but once this behavior arises, there is bound to be an unfair exchange, so not to mention that the emperor wants to make an example of him to condemn him, and jerk him off, even she doesn’t think it’s a pity!

But the emperor has no problem to punish him according to the law, the key is that Shi En is the person that Empress Dowager Lu has taken great pains to install in the Ministry of Rites to maintain the Flower Moon Club, although he is greedy, he is doing his best to take care of the Flower Moon Club on behalf of Empress Dowager Lu, and if he were to be jerked off according to the law, and Empress Dowager Lu wanted to put one of her own up, the emperor wouldn’t do it anymore either! In that case, even if OCT didn’t go up and put up someone else, the situation wouldn’t be that good!

For a moment, she was actually swaying between Empress Dowager Lu and the Emperor’s situation.

Clenching her hand and pondering for a moment, thinking that when talking about how to deal with Shi En, Empress Dowager Lu said that even if he was really corrupt, she would first let him top the throne until she found the right person, as well as the right time to punish him, she raised her head and said, “Earlier when my father sought out Lord Fang to inquire about all this, did Lord Fang have any explicit words to tell him?”

“No.” Fang Qingxue shook her head, “The empress dowager and the late emperor know me well, I know that the empress dowager wants to protect Shi En, she must have her reasoning, I can’t pull her leg. Right now if I tell the Emperor the truth, I will surely be ashamed of the Empress Dowager.”

“Then why doesn’t Lord Fang meet with the Empress Dowager to explain these circumstances?”

“At the moment, the evidence is not in my hands, and if I tell the Empress Dowager, she may not believe me. What’s more, if I take the initiative to confess to the Empress Dowager, it would be tantamount to working against the Emperor …… Zhao guards, it’s hard for me!”

Fang Qingxue struck the palm of her hand and shook her head and sighed.

“Then where is the evidence?”

“In the Ministry of Household. He Sheng and the others have been defending themselves very tightly lately, pressing me not to get close to the case file room. In fact, I suspect that the person who delivered the land to Shi’s mother back then was also arranged by OCT and the others, but again, it’s just speculation. And no matter what, the land had already reached Shi’s family, and Shi didn’t return it, that’s a fact.

“Of course they shouldn’t know exactly how much I’ve gotten hold of either, or else OCT wouldn’t have organized this to pull me in anymore, but would have just destroyed the evidence.”

Zhao Su straightened his back and said, “Although Lord Fang can’t get the evidence, the Empress Dowager can. I don’t know if right now I’m arranging for Lord Fang to enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, would you be willing to enter the palace to repay the Empress Dowager for that kindness of lifting her up back then?”

Fang Qingxue froze: “Are you not a guard of Qianqing Palace? How ……”

Zhao Su how to tell him this double agent thing? It really couldn’t be said! She said, “You don’t care so much, you just say with your current situation, willing to change passive into active, ask the Empress Dowager to step in to solve the problem?”

Fang Qingxue deep sinking gas, He Sheng pressure on top of his head, repeatedly forced him to do something unwilling to do, if he does not react, sooner or later, bound to get on this boat of thieves, not to mention that this matter of square ditch is still to be resolved, regardless of whether Zhao Su for the Empress Dowager to do things, or to do things for the Emperor, he can not get around it, then said: “Then, I would like to ask Zhao guards to play point!”

Zhao Su whirled around and twisted his head, “Go to Donghua Gate!”

……

Marquis Qingyun touched a wall in Fang Qingxue, after going to the Yamen in the morning and turning over the case files at hand a few times, he still felt that Fang Qingxue was not in the right state last night, so he sent someone to find out where Fang Qingxue was going to be, and to ask him to come over for a formal chat.

Here just drank a cup of tea, the person sent back in a hurry: “Marquis! Fang Qingxue has gone to the dinner party of the Imperial Minister Tian, along with Marquis Jingnan and Minister He!”

Marquis Qingyun raised his head when he heard this lineup.

Before he could say anything, another person rushed in, shouting “Marquis”, and spoke without waiting for a word: “Marquis, it’s rumored everywhere on the streets today that Fang Qingxue’s son, Fang Dui, is keeping an actress, throwing away a lot of money for her, and spends his nights at the theater! Just now, Imperial Inspector Tian, Marquis Jingnan, and Minister He of the Ministry of Revenue all went to the theater, but Lord Fang, who was supposed to be with them, was nowhere to be seen!”

Marquis Qingyun couldn’t help but straighten his back!

“Marquis!” Someone else came in, and this time the visitor’s expression was even more shifty, “Miss Su has taken Lord Fang to the palace to seek an audience with the Empress Dowager!”

“What?!”

Marquis Qingyun stood up!
