Chapter 121
After finally persuading Princess Zhaoning and Shao Cong, the enemies, to stop making trouble, Shen Qingling quickly grabbed all the account books and hurriedly ran to the government office.Recently, she seldom took the initiative to go to the government office, firstly to avoid suspicion, and secondly, she didn't want Ren Bingyi to think that she was putting pressure on him for the wilderness case.

But as it was related to the northern border, Shen Qingling couldn't care so much anymore.

At that time Ren Bingyi was interrogating a prisoner, when he heard Shen Qingling coming, he put aside the trial in front of the hall and went to the side hall to see Shen Qingling.

"I have seen Ren Zhizhou." Shen Qingling did not forget the courtesy, and after the salute, he hurriedly showed the discrepancies in the account books to Ren Bingyi, "The difference between the entry and exit of the account does not seem to be much different, but after a year of regulation, the Du family's There is a shortfall of 1 taels in several restaurants."

That's 1 million taels!

And it's just these few restaurants, there may be more tricks in places that Shen Qingling didn't find out.

"Second lady thinks, did the money go into Beiliang Palace, or did it go out?" Ren Bingyi asked with a sullen face.He was an insider in some matters, but he didn't see as much as Shen Qingling, so he thought of asking Shen Qingling's opinion first.

Shen Qingling raised her hand and stroked the tip of her nose a few times, and replied: "I think it should have gone out."

There are two reasons:

First, it doesn't make much sense for the Beiliang Palace to ask for money from the Du family. On the contrary, if there is too much entanglement with the Du family, it will cause unnecessary troubles for the Beiliang Palace.

Second, if she really entered the Northern Liang Palace, as Li Youyu is in charge of the northern business route, she can definitely make the money justified, and she shouldn't let this account become what it is now, there are traces to follow .

Even if Li Youyu couldn't do it, the people who helped her deal with Du Chengye would do it.

And if the whereabouts of the Du family's money is Khitan, then it makes sense. Even if there is a mistake in the account, it is the Du family's own responsibility, and outsiders can't find it, and there is almost no trace.

"At this time, I have to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After another discussion, Ren Bingyi and Shen Qingling got up a little impatiently.

Shen Qingling quickly stretched out her hand to grab him, and said: "Don't be impatient, Ren Zhizhou, I'm not in a hurry to report this matter, after all, I only have some restaurants in Du's family, and their food store is still sealed, if As soon as you reported it, the imperial court suddenly checked the accounts of grain stores and other places, which made Li Youyu afraid."

Hit the snake and hit seven inches.

The two poisonous weeds, Li Youyu and Gusu, must be removed, but they must be removed cleanly and quickly, so as not to destroy the peace of the border people and soldiers.

"Report the matter first, and then make it clear that the prince will not take action." As Ren Zhizhou spoke, he paused first, and emotions such as surprise, anger, and depression flashed across his face. .

"His Royal Highness won't do anything, so what about the other princes?" Shen Qingling spread out the words in front of Ren Zhizhou, "Not long ago, didn't you just learn that Prince Xiang was acting secretly in Yangzhou? With Prince Zhan, he can release the female family members of the Du family without authorization, and indulge the female family members of the Du family to make trouble..."

So when faced with an opportunity to bring down the prince, how many people can grasp it?
Especially if he can bring down the prince and create chaos, he can even come out to help the building that is about to collapse, making an inexorable contribution.

"I will finish reconciling these account books in the next few days. If there are any other problems, I will not come here by myself." Shen Qingling left some of the processed account books to Ren Bingyi, and took the rest back to her arms "I believe the whole matter will come to light soon. After all, Lord Shou is almost at the northern border. As soon as he arrives, the ghosts and monsters in the dark are bound to show up."

In addition, Yuanyang Shuangsha and the evidence also arrived.

The result of many forces disrupting the situation is that Shen Qingling, who came out halfway, disturbed their sense of proportion, confused their vision, and forced them to mess up their positions.

A wrong step is a wrong step.

There was also the fall of the Du family, and the defeat of Brother Yelu Yu and Yelu Cong.

In fact, just as Shen Qingling guessed, the good news from the northern border was not late.When the new willows sprouted in spring, the news of King Shou's victory over Feihu was sent back to Chang'an, and by the time Shen Qingling found out through the porter, it was already mid-May.

Shao Cong was so impassioned, he clenched his fists and practiced in the yard for a while, and then ran to Shen Qingling again, asking her what she thought about enlisting in the army.

"Are you going to join the army?" Shen Qingling didn't expect to change her life. Shao Cong still had the old thoughts, "Is Yangzhou not good? You want to go to the north to join the army...or do you want to hide from Princess Zhaoning?" .”

These days, Princess Zhaoning didn't come here very often, she found a job as an incense smeller in the incense shop, and helped Shen Qingling attract guests, she was extremely busy.

The majestic princess condescended to work for herself, Shen Qingling could not dislike it, so she taught her everything she knew, without hiding anything.

Shao Cong's expression changed, he looked at the sky and the ground, kicked the legs of the table in front of Shen Qingling, and whispered back: "I didn't want to hide from her, I just thought that if I could join the army, if I If I can earn a little fame, can I justifiably go to Bianjing to ask her to marry me?"

These words made Shen Qingling smile in relief.

Being able to face up to one's feelings and find ways to keep them is the beginning of a person's growth into a responsible person.

"Moreover, this is the first time I, Li Chao, have set foot on a flying fox in so many years! Just thinking about it, I am so excited that I can't sleep all night!" Shao Cong became more and more excited as he spoke, "Lord Shou is really He is a hero in the world! With him here, we might be able to regain the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in one fell swoop and revive the prestige of Li Chao!"

Shen Qingling shrugged noncommittally, and asked back: "Brother, do you know what you think? The battlefield is not a child's play, and the sword has no eyes. It is very likely that you will not be able to come back with your whole body intact. If your blood splashes on the battlefield, How can Princess Zhaoning deal with herself?"

Shao Cong came back well in the past, but who knows what will happen when Shao Cong goes to the north now.

"I've thought about it. If I don't come back alive, then please ask Princess Zhaoning to find another marriage." Shao Cong said firmly, without changing his expression, "In Yangzhou, I will help the second lady no matter how much money you make. , that is just a wealthy family, if, like before, I encounter difficulties with Prince Xiang, I will not be able to keep my second wife, the Shen family, and Princess Zhaoning..."

Although Shao Cong's mind is simple, he doesn't have too many thoughts in his heart.

After that night on the outskirts of the city, among the members of the Shen family, who didn't think about it?Yes, everyone knows that yellow and white things are no match for the orange clothes, and when the guillotine comes down, even if you have a lot of gold by your side, it won't help.
