shocking foolish concubine

Chapter 221 Waiting for Qi Yun (2)
"If you add up all the money in the ten banks, how much is there?" Shangguan Jinghong asked coldly.

Li Fangyu thought for a while, "The lower officials haven't made exact statistics, but if the ten are transported by horse-drawn carts, at least one hundred carts."

"Yeah." She checked around, then walked to a wall and stood still by accident.

Xiang Wang Qi Yu's condensed gaze couldn't help tightening.

"There are so many gold and silver in a hundred horse-drawn carriages, and they disappeared overnight without any trace. Is it really a flight?" Li Fangyu looked sad, "Xiaguan and other [-] officials have been working day and night for this matter for three days. , The leader of the army searched for clues all night, the case has caused a sensation in the whole world, the emperor said, if we can’t find the jewels, we will have our heads cut off, I hope the princess can solve the case.”

Beitang's arrogant and domineering eyes fell on Shangguan Jinghong's serious expression, "Hong'er, this is none of your business, don't worry about it. Even if you offend Emperor Dongqi, I will protect you."

Qi Yunqingyue's eyes were calm and unwavering, and occasionally looked at Shangguan Jinghong, seemingly casually, but people couldn't find the greed in his eyes.

"The emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty wishes that this princess would not accept it." Shangguan Jinghong refused, "I said, I will deal with my own affairs. I don't want to owe you any more, so as not to be collected by you again. Last time, you saved Ben Princess, the kindness that the princess wants to repay is to marry you. This time, the princess can't afford you anything."

Bei Tangao looked a little embarrassed, but also a little helpless, "I really have no choice but to love you."

"Really." Shangguan Jinghong snorted coldly, "No one has ever forced you."

"You have always been ruthless to me, and it is already an invisible persecution."

"I don't like excuses like that."

Beitang sighed proudly, "It was a mistake for me to let you agree to marry me. I have no regrets, at least, you are my fiancée."

No one interrupted the conversation between them.Maybe it's because I'm interested in knowing more, maybe it's because I don't dare to talk too much.

Shangguan Jinghong stopped talking, and after a while, Qi Zhaoyang couldn't help interjecting, "Princess Jinghong, didn't you promise to find the stolen Ku Yin? Where is it?"

"It's not like flying to the sky, it's just being hidden in front of your eyes."

Her words made everyone covet.

Qi Yun's and Bei Tang's proud expressions flashed suddenly, and Xiang Wang Qi Yu's eyes were too deep and complicated.

Qi Zhaoyang seemed to have heard some kind of joke, "In front of me? Do you think we are idiots? As far as the eye can see, there is not even half a tael of silver in the empty bank."

"It's precisely because the end can be seen at a glance, so no one thought of searching carefully." Shangguan Jinghong said, "Li Shangshu, smash the innermost wall to see."

Li Fangyu did as he said, knocking on the wall, a piece of the dark blue wall fell off, revealing the shiny gold bars inside, "Wow! There are gold bricks hidden in the wall!"

Almost all the people present were stunned, and cast admiring glances at Shangguan Jinghong, while Qi Zhaoyang was jealous and hated.

Qi Yu's stern complexion remained unchanged, but his eyes became more bleak unconsciously.

Shangguan Jinghong's special function sees through the wall, "All the gold and silver in the library were built into a wall, and then painted with the same color of old wall plaster. The person who planned the theft must want to wait until the wind is over, and then go back to the wall." Find a way to transport Ku Yin away. You don’t need to go to another government’s stolen bank to check. This princess has concluded that it was done by the same group of people. That is to say, Ku Yin has always been there, but you can’t find it. Yan That's all for now, for the rest, if you want to know anything, you can check it yourself. Don't bother the Princess about this matter."

After all, I walked away with a flick of my sleeves, leaving only a room full of people with various thoughts.

Not far from the Qianzhuang, in a box of a teahouse, Shangguan Jinghong sat at the table drinking tea, as if he was waiting for someone.

Not long after, Xiang Wang Qi Yu came uninvited.

"Waiting for my lord?" Qi Yu sat opposite her.

"My princess thinks King Xiang should have something to say." Shangguan Jinghong gently shook the teacup, and the tea in the cup swirled around.

"You ruined this king's plan." Qi Yu's expression was cold, and he stared at her murderously, "You think you can do whatever you want because of this king's love for you? This king dare not kill you?"

"Then King Xiang must be able to kill this princess."

"You are too confident."

"King Xiang can give it a try."

"If this king really makes a move, you will be a corpse."

Shangguan Jinghong laughed, "How many times have you shot this princess? Which one was not defeated by this princess?"

"This time, you have affected my king's plan to seize the country." Qi Yu narrowed his eyes coldly, "Although on the surface you found the missing official bank, Kuyin, in order to let the emperor not blame you for your disrespect, in fact It is to prevent this huge sum of money from falling into the hands of this king, so as not to pose a threat to Qi Yun, your heart is still toward Qi Yun."

Shangguan Jinghong remained silent, this was indeed her true thought.

"This king thought that someone would push the emperor's advice on the theft of the bank silver to you, and also thought that the emperor would go along with the flow in order to confiscate your property to make up for the huge stolen account. But, I thought Qi Yun would stop it, after all ...The emperor cares so much about Qi Yun, and Qi Yun has you in his heart."

"No matter how much the emperor attaches great importance to affection, when it is really a last resort, he will only protect the country." Shangguan Jinghong said indifferently, "For example, before the emperor met Qi Yun's mother Concubine Ning, many concubines in the palace were favored and pregnant. Another example is that the emperor thinks he loves Concubine Ning, but while having Concubine Ning, he also favors other concubines and has other heirs. The princess does not comment on the emperor's love."

"What about Qi Yun?" Qi Yu reminded coldly, "I have no choice but to tell you that the emperor agreed to let you take the blame for the stolen Ku Yin. Qi Yun knew about it, which represented his acquiescence, and that's why Li Fangyu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, went to Phoenix. The villa arrests you."

Shangguan Jinghong froze, a few drops of water splashed out of the teacup, "I know."

"Know?" Qi Yu sneered, "Qi Yun's inaction surprised me. When Li Fangyu went to arrest you, I rushed to rescue you as soon as I got the news. But you said that I didn't know what to do."

"It was you who planned the theft of ten official banks' silver treasury. Even the guards of the Jinhong bank's treasury under my name were killed by your men. If it weren't for the complicated mechanism of the treasury I designed, the same It will be stolen. You don’t even let the princess’s bank go, and I’ve suffered because of your conspiracy, do you still want me to thank you?”
