Chapter 475
As the year was approaching, the ink corruption case of a small county magistrate, Xu Zhongtian, caused an uproar. The two big families, Zhongyonghou's family and Prime Minister Zuo's family, as well as the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry were all involved.

This year's New Year's gifts, many people are much more careful in giving them, almost all of them are food produced in their own farms and some lovable food bought outside, and they dare not give anything worth money, and the officials stare at each other. Big eyes, watch closely.

So the high-quality food in Xiaoer’s supermarket and the exquisite pastries in Liu Jingshu’s bakery have become popular items, and the supply is in short supply every day, and the supply is increasing day by day.

Xiao'er looked at the names on the order list and sneered, didn't she say that their family's high-quality food is deceiving the world!Why are you queuing up to buy it!Obviously, their family's food is sick and cured, and they are not sick to strengthen their bodies!
It's really a snake spirit disease, while criticizing, rushing to buy it!

These days, the food on each dining table has been saved a lot, and even fewer people buy her high-quality blood swallow.

When will the days of such turmoil come to an end, Xiao'er sighed.

Looking at those yearly gift lists, Mrs. Liu always felt that something was wrong, because they were all about food.

"The New Year's gift everyone gave this year is very different from previous years. Has your father offended someone in the court?"

"Don't worry, mother! Corruption has become serious recently. The emperor was furious and ordered to severely punish corrupt officials. The officials stared at the doors of other people's houses all day long to see which one was rich in wine and meat. Therefore, this year's annual ceremony, everyone Of course I prepared lightly." Xiao'er picked out what she could say.

"So that's the case, then let's send it to Qingli as well. Your father has a position in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, so you can't get it right!" Mrs. Liu didn't think much about it. Naturally, she couldn't do such a difficult job of being corrupt and perverting the law. Her family's husband would do it, her family's husband would only farm honestly, and he would take the family's seeds to plant the public's field, so she was not worried at all that her family would be involved in it.

"Naturally, I finally got a chance to save some money. I don't want to cut my hands because of money. If I can get the New Year's ceremony without spending a penny, I'm so happy!" Xiao'er said mischievously.

"You dare to say anything, kid. If outsiders hear about it, won't they think our family is stingy?" Mrs. Liu gave Xiao'er an angry look.

"Stingy is stingy! It's better than less money!" Yun'er added.

Liu: "..."

This kid is out of money again!
Xiaoer chuckled.

Mrs. Liu has been lethargic recently, and after checking the gift list with Xiao'er for a while, she was too sleepy to go back to sleep.

In the middle of the night in winter, with the chilly air, Xiao'er quietly checked the profits of each store this year in the room.

Shangguan Xuanyi jumped in from the window covered in cold air.

"Don't jump out of the window all the time, can't you just come and look for me during the day? Let people find out, my reputation will be ruined." Xiao'er knew who it was without looking, so she said without raising her head.

"I won't be found out, why are you still up so late?" Besides, daytime is not as convenient as nighttime.

Shangguan Xuanyi used his internal force to remove the cold air from his body, and then walked to Xiao'er's side, and hugged her into his arms.

"Reconciling accounts. Are you done with your work?" Xiao'er put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her sore arm.

"I'm done, the case can be closed tomorrow!" Shangguan Xuanyi put his hands on Xiao'er's shoulders to help her massage.

"That's good, at least you can have a decent New Year's Eve dinner! My restaurant has prepared a lot of good things this year, so don't worry about not being able to sell them!"

"You can eat whatever you want, don't worry."

"I'm not worried, it's just that everyone keeps their tails between their legs. My father said that our family can't be special!"

Well, I still have to listen to what my father-in-law said.

"I heard that you missed me, so I came to look for you as soon as I came back! Why didn't you show any sign?" After helping Xiao'er press her shoulders, Shangguan Xuanyi buried his head on her fragrant shoulders, Take her scent.

"When did I say I missed you!" Di Shaowei's big-mouthed teal!Definitely quacking everywhere again!
"Then I miss you." After finishing speaking, Shangguan Xuanyi covered his lips!
Di Shaowei's smug peacock said that his own children can be soy sauce, but he still can't bring a beauty home!

It makes people want to burn his hair off!
In his sleep, Di Shaowei sneezed twice, quickly covered the quilt, and couldn't help worrying that his wife would catch a cold if she kicked off the quilt.

So he got up and dressed again to climb the wall.

As soon as Shangguan Xuanyi jumped onto the wall, he saw a figure jumping off the wall at the other end, and he quickly chased after him.

When the two looked at each other and found that it was each other, they were both startled.

Shangguan Xuanyi said with a dark face: "If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing in the girl's house? Don't ruin my girl's reputation!"

Di Shaowei raised his eyebrows: "Who doesn't know that my wife is in the Shengpinghou Mansion. Of course I came here to sleep with her in my arms, but you didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came to the Shengpinghou Mansion. Don't ruin the girl's reputation." ! Hurry up and go!"

Shangguan Xuanyi was choked, what's so great about having a lady!
"Bring your lady back to the residence tomorrow! Don't stay here to be an eyesore!" Shangguan Xuanyi said angrily.

His wife is an eyesore?His wife doesn't know how seductive she is!

"I'm not! This is not your Sixth Prince's Mansion, you can't control it!" Di Shaowei said angrily.

It is really intolerable!What a shame!
So the two hit it off!

Two big words popped up in the heart of the dark guard who was hiding in the dark: boring.

This day was the coldest day since the beginning of winter. People who got up early poured their face water into the patio, and it froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In two days, we will enter the annual leave.

Before dawn, one carriage after another had already parked outside the palace gate.

The ministers lined up one by one to enter the palace for the morning court.

Inside the Golden Luan Hall of the Imperial Palace, the words "Upright and Bright" gleamed.

The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, listened to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple report on this major corruption incident.

Di Zhiyuan accepted a total of 30 taels of gold, silver and treasures as bribes from lower-level officials.

The former minister of the Ministry of Industry and the current Prime Minister Zuo took 10 taels of bribes in total.

The servant of the household department took 15 taels of bribes in total!

……

There are also some small amounts not to mention.

There are account books, a list of bribers and confessions as evidence, and the time is even recorded on it, which is solid evidence.

The emperor read through several lists and account books page by page, and then looked up at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple: "You two lovers, have you checked everything out? Is there anything missing?"

"Back to the emperor, everything has been investigated, and the bribers have been interrogated one by one, and the confession and testimony are consistent." Dali Temple Shaoqing replied.
