The small chief looked at the banknotes.
"It's okay to give you a tip, but Minister Sun of the Ministry of Revenue has offended someone he shouldn't have, and the Emperor wants to investigate him.
Hurry and lead the way. We are also following orders. You'd better cooperate, otherwise the situation will only get worse."
Jia Fugui was so frightened that his legs went weak and he could only stand with the help of two servants.
The little leader had no patience to waste time with him, so he grabbed a servant and led him to Jia Fugui's bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he saw two floor-standing blue and white porcelain vases.
After looking at them one by one, the little leader kicked one of them, and the porcelain bottle fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the contents were completely exposed to everyone.
The little leader picked it up carefully, wrapped it in cloth and carried it on his back. He left some people to guard the Jia family before rushing back to the palace to report.
After reviewing the evidence presented by the small chieftain, Emperor Dongling slammed his fist on the jade table and said, "They are rebels! Go, arrest Minister Sun and Jia Fugui.
Search both houses and confiscate all property. Compensate the victims after verification!"
The little leader agreed and left the imperial study.
Not long after they left, they came across Zhang Jianye and his group, who were carrying the spoils they had collected into the palace.
The young leader was shocked: "Boss, you found so many? I should take more people with me. There must be quite a few people at the Sun Mansion and the Jia Mansion as well.
The Emperor has said that the Sun and Jia residences should be searched and all their property confiscated."
Zhang Jianye nodded and said, "Then go and recruit some more people. They should do the job carefully and avoid any mistakes. Pay attention to the secret rooms and the like."
The little leader responded and ran away.
Zhang Jianye entered the imperial study and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought back all the gold, silver, and jewelry from Minister Lin's secret room. Here are the account books and the black box."
Emperor Dong Ling took the bill and glanced at it quickly, his eyes skipping over the gold and silver and looking at the list of jewelry in the account book. After reading it, he felt both angry and happy.
He opened the black box again and flipped through the account books inside. The records on them were shocking.
"Commander Zhang, all property in the Lin Mansion will be confiscated, and everyone in the mansion will be imprisoned pending trial."
Zhang Jianye took the order and quickly left the imperial study.
After Emperor Dongling calmed down, he instructed Eunuch Wei, who had just sent Nangong Yunxue and her daughter away, "Laifu, find someone to count and put all the gold and silver into the warehouse.
Let's go to Kunning Palace again and let Jiuer choose the treasure."
Eunuch Wei happily agreed and went to the Ministry of Revenue before excitedly heading to Kunning Palace.
While still outside the palace, he heard Empress Chen's voice from inside: "Jiu'er, do you want to sleep?"
He quickly stepped into the palace and said, "This old servant greets the Empress, Princess Dingguo, and Madam Xue."
"Laifu, why are you back again? Is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Jianye has returned from the Lin Mansion, and the Emperor has asked the princess to choose a treasure!"
"Did he bring back much?"
"Yes, dozens of large boxes and several large bags!"
Empress Chen was shocked: "So much! How much money did Lin Yongxian embezzle? He's so bold!"
After saying that, he lowered his head to look at Nangong Jiu in his arms. He saw that Nangong Jiu, who had been drowsy with one eye open and the other squinting, now had his eyes wide open, no sleepiness at all.
He smiled and said, "Jiu'er, your royal grandfather asked you to choose a treasure."
Nangong Jiu waved his arms and kicked his legs.
[Go, go…]
"Haha... let's go, let's go choose treasures!"
The group left Kunning Palace and walked towards the imperial study while chatting and laughing.
Not long after walking, he ran into Concubine Zheng Shufei.
Nangong Yunxue knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Madam Shufei!"
Concubine Zheng Shu took a look at Nangong Yunxue and her daughter, and smiled: "The princess is so adorable, Madam Xue is so lucky!
Seeing you and your daughter, I feel very close to you. When you are free, please come to my Renchun Palace and spend some time with me."
Nangong Yunxue squatted again.
"Thank you so much for your hospitality, Madam Shufei. I will definitely pay my respects to you when I have time!"
"Okay, you must come!"
After saying this, Concubine Zheng brushed off Empress Chen and left leisurely.
Empress Chen frowned and said, "Xue'er, Concubine Zheng is not as kind as she appears. You should be more careful."
"Yes, Daddy and brother also reminded me that I will avoid her."
Nangong Jiu was not sleepy at all, and was searching carefully in his head for fragments about Concubine Zheng Shufei.
In the story, Concubine Zheng Shufei and Liu Zhi attempted to seize power, but were shot to death by Liu Heng with a volley of arrows.
Wait, in the story, Liu Zhi said before his death, "I really regret listening to you and helping you harm my second brother."
[Grandmother, the one who murdered Uncle Hao was also Consort Zheng's son, Liu Zhi. They conspired together to do it.]
"Really?" Queen Chen's face changed drastically.
[Really! Liu Zhi and Concubine Zheng are very ambitious, you should be careful of them.]
"Okay, Jiu'er, be good. Grandmother knows!"
Nangong Yunxue saw that Empress Chen's face was not right, and guessed that Jiu'er had said something to Empress Chen: "Your Majesty?"
"Jiu'er said that Liu Zhi also harmed Hao'er. He and Liu Heng did it together!"
Nangong Yunxue's expression also changed: "Your Majesty, this matter must be told to Brother Hao so that he can be on guard. In addition, this matter should also be told to the Emperor!"
"Well, I always thought that they, mother and son, wouldn't cause any trouble. I never thought that our assumptions would cause Hao'er to be disabled for five years.
No one knows how my mother and I managed to get through these five years. If it weren’t for Jiuer, we would have had to endure this for the rest of our lives.
This vengeance will be remembered by this palace!"
When the group arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Dongling had already ordered people to move the gold and silver away, and what remained were some precious jewels and utensils.
Emperor Dongling raised his head from a piece of jade, waved away his attendants, and happily took Nangong Jiu from Empress Chen's arms.
"Jiu'er, take a look at what you like. Everything you like is yours."
Nangong Jiu danced with joy for a while, and after looking at everything, he looked at Emperor Dongling and said, "Everything I like belongs to me?"
"It's all yours, the Emperor's word is final!
Not only that, after Sun Dongquan and Jia Fugui's properties are recovered, anything you like will also be yours!"
【Then I’m not polite, I’ll take it! 】
"Take it, take it, it would be nice for the Emperor to see it."
Nanguan Jiu touched his small pocket and pointed at the thing he liked: "Bag, take it!"
In a few moments, more than ten priceless treasures disappeared right under the nose of Emperor Dongling.
"So it goes in your pocket?"
[Yes, I put it away! Thank you, Grandfather!]
Emperor Dongling was very curious: "Jiu'er, can you let Grandfather take a look at your pocket?"
Nangong Jiu touched his pocket and put his hand on Emperor Dongling's forehead.
【Look at the little pocket on my wrist! 】
Emperor Dong Ling stared at the small pocket for a while, then said happily: "Jiu'er's small pocket can hold a lot of things. Grandfather has learned a lot today!
It’s so big inside, you can choose more.”
【Slowly save, don’t rush! 】
"Well, it's good that you think this way. Be happy. When your royal grandfather gets something good in the future, I'll give it to you!"
After the two of them finished talking about collecting the treasures, Queen Chen repeated Nangong Jiu's words.
"Your Majesty, what do you think we should do about this?"
