Concubine Yao's return to her parents' home suddenly plunged the Li family into dire straits.

Concubine Yao was just worried for a moment, thinking that her family would not do such ridiculous things, but after some questioning, she also panicked.

This matter actually has something to do with their Li family.

And it was her brother who was involved.

"Shao Jin, how can you be so confused! I asked you to think of ways to find some squares of ink, but you actually sent people to Huizhou. Please tell me clearly, who gave you those squares of ink? Do you know?

Don’t you know about human life?”

As the leader of the clan, Li Fengnian must figure it out before he can make countermeasures. This is a major matter related to the rise and fall of the Li family. If someone takes the opportunity to step on this matter, the Li family may really get involved!

It's not child's play.

When he was suddenly summoned, Li Shaojin was frightened when he heard the reason. He was now kneeling on the ground with a panicked look on his face.

"I...I don't know. I did send someone to Huizhou. I asked about it and said that the rosin ink is produced in Huizhou..."

"Then why is this matter related to the magistrate of Huizhou?" Li Jianshu was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Li Shaojin plopped down and knelt on the ground. In fact, he panicked when he heard this.

As soon as he knelt down, everyone knew something was wrong.

"You'd better tell me something quickly!"

Concubine Yao forced herself to calm down, secretly warning herself not to lose control at this time, and she was glad that she was back today.

Looking at his former sister, now the imperial concubine, Li Shaojin seemed to have found his backbone, and he knelt and walked up the first few steps: "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything. Really, I only found out today that someone was killed. I originally sent

When I went to Huizhou, I thought that this thing was in such short supply and I was afraid that the people I sent there would not be able to buy it if they had money, so I... I just thought about asking him to go to the local magistrate for help..." Speaking of this, Li Shaojin's voice became much softer.

"Then what?" Concubine Yao asked quickly, and a group of people looked nervously.

"Then... they sent ink over there, and... they also sent a sum of money. I didn't want to accept it at first~"

Li Shaojin panicked and told the story about the money, knowing that if he kept it secret now, something big would happen.

But he really doesn't know about human life.

"You... how can a fourth-grade Zhizhou do things for others for no reason? Are you doing it in my name or in the name of the Li family? I have already said that our Li family and I are in the harem.

My father and third uncle were in the court. I don’t know how many people were watching and jealous. At home,

Everyone must be cautious in their words and deeds, and must not allow others to take advantage of the loopholes. You have also accepted money. Are our Li family short of money? How much have you received? Please explain clearly quickly. In addition to money, are there any other transactions?

, did the other party make any other requests, and what else did you do?"

There is no one in this world who does not want to repay, even if it is just to curry favor, it has a purpose. Concubine Yao felt dizzy. She heard that the torturer had no way to complain in the local area and was almost killed and silenced. She knew it without thinking,

The magistrate of Huizhou must be involved, and hearing what her brother said made her feel frightened.

If the cause of this incident is that her brother asked the magistrate of Huizhou to loosen ink, no matter what the truth is, the Li family must be inseparable from it.

"...one hundred thousand...two!"

"What!"

Now, everyone was shocked!

Li Jianshu kicked him directly, "You damn bastard, you dare to accept one hundred thousand taels, how brave are you, you want to kill the whole Li family, you, one hundred thousand taels!"

Even if there is no matter about rosin ink, as long as people know that the Li family has received one hundred thousand taels of silver from the magistrate of Huizhou, it will be enough for the Li family to drink a pot.

A magistrate can spend one hundred thousand taels, where does he get the money? It’s terrible to think about it.

Li Shaojin didn't dare to say a word even after being kicked. Li Fengnian frowned and was very angry even though he didn't do anything. Concubine Yao was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"I can't tell you how courageous you are on a daily basis. One hundred thousand taels are worth it, and your hands don't shake even though you're holding it? If this happened today, do you plan to keep it a secret?"

The third master of the Li family, Li Jianye, couldn't hold it in any longer. In a family like theirs, where everything is prosperous and everything is ruined, there's no way they can get a big house or a second bedroom at this time.

"Okay, let's stop talking and think of a way quickly. The Li family must not be implicated in this matter. There are still four children in the family who have to take the spring exam. If the Li family wants to be prosperous for generations, someone must come up from behind. The empress has always been in the palace.

If you are favored, you will inevitably attract jealousy. If someone catches you...hurry someone to the Criminal Department to keep an eye on the progress of the case. There is also the matter of one hundred thousand silver taels..."

Li Fengnian is very decisive. It is useless to fight and scold him now. Time is tight. The key is to think about how to deal with it first. The rest can be discussed later.

Concubine Yao was in a state of confusion, "This case is now being supervised by Prince Tian personally, and the Emperor is paying special attention to it. As long as the Huizhou magistrate's office finds out about this one hundred thousand taels, it will definitely not be concealed, and it is impossible for the Li family to completely remove it. Now it is placed before Li

There are only two roads in front of home!"

"Empress!"

After Concubine Yao said that, Li Fengnian understood what she meant by the two roads.

The first is to pull the trigger and send people to Huizhou as soon as possible to kill the magistrate of Huizhou without doing anything. This is the worst policy. The second is to take the initiative to report what Li Jianshu did and make it clear. Don't wait until the Ministry of Punishment finds out what happened. In this way, the Li family

At most one Li Jianshu could be broken, and the Li family could still be saved.

In short, the Li family has been involved in this matter and must make a decision as soon as possible.

"Uncle, this time it's my fault that I can't stand up to you all. When it comes to the root cause, it's my fault that caused today's disaster. I and my father don't have anything to say about how the clan makes a choice."

Concubine Yao has made her attitude clear.

"Mother, we are a family. We should not talk about the two families at this time. The most important thing is to resolve this matter first."

With this matter on the table, Jin Yuhou has no time to discuss it.

"Sir, why didn't the queen put up a guard of honor when she came back this time? She looks like she came back for something."

Concubine Yao's return home this time is indeed a bit sudden, and people can't help but think about it.

Xingwang accompanied Li Shunshui back to the courtyard and couldn't help but mutter.

"No more words!"

Li Shunshui confessed and turned around and entered the study. Today's matter was by no means that simple, and he needed to deal with it.

Jin Yuhou, the former princess of Dayuan...

At this moment, Chuxue has arrived at Mei Mansion, Chuxue has arrived at Yong'an City, and the Mei family has also received the news.

The old lady greeted her personally, but the title was a little awkward.

Just after hearing the rumors outside, someone came to the door.

"I haven't seen you in these years, but you still look so energetic." Chuxue saw the old lady and took the initiative to help her.

There is no one in the Mei family in power now, not because the Mei family has no capable people, but because the Mei family is stubborn and strong in their bones and cannot pass that test.

"You are old...jun...how has Jin Yuhou been doing well?"

The old lady did not refuse Chu Xue's support, and talked as she walked, while everyone behind her followed silently.

"Old lady, please don't call me like that. Just call me Chuxue, or call me Xue girl like sir. I just arrived in Yong'an City yesterday. I heard that Mr. Mei has been feeling unwell recently. Chuxue came here to take a look, too.

Come and see everyone.”

In front of the old lady, Chuxue kept her posture very low.

Over the years, she has been secretly asking people to take more care of the Mei family. In fact, she should feel relieved that Feng Ziyue is in Yong'an City, but she still wants to do something.
