Chapter 248 Appointment
Zhang Zhang, who was lying on the ground like a dead fish, heard the confessions of Mo Liang, Wu Qian and others, and realized that he had been deceived by Yu Zheng.
But now that it's over, it doesn't matter anymore.
After interrogating Mo Liang and others, Yu Zheng returned to the main hospital.
Zhufeng escorted Mo Liang and found the account books he had hidden.
"Master." Zhufeng handed the account book to Yu Zheng.
After looking through it, Yu Zheng put it together with other evidence and asked Zhufeng to hand over both people and evidence to Sun Hechuan and handle them according to law.
When night fell, Zhufeng covered Zhang Li with a sack and returned him to his master according to Yu Zheng's instructions.
The servants of the Cao family heard a knock on the door and opened the door. They saw a sack thrown at the door and were alert.
"What is it?" The servant kicked it with his foot.
The sack moved, and a faint voice came from inside: "It's me, Zhang Li."
Upon hearing this, the servant first looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he carried Zhang Li into the house.
Cao Qian heard the report and rushed over immediately.
Zhang Li He was frozen all the time, and was already weak and only half alive.
After learning that Zhang Li had been exposed and confessed to Yu Zheng, Cao Qian was furious.
"He is not good at doing anything, but he is always good at making trouble."
"My lord, I didn't mean it. Please spare my life, sir. I will go through fire and water for you in the future..." Zhang Li hugged Cao Qian's feet and begged for mercy.
Once unfaithful, you will be useless for life.
Cao Qian snorted coldly and kicked Zhang Li hard in the chest.
Zhang Li was already He was so weak that he was half dead. The kick made him vomit blood and faint.
The servant came forward to check it out, and found that his breath was weak and almost non-existent, and he was dead.
Cao Qian said: "Throw him to the mass grave, be careful not to let anyone see him."
"Yes." The servant quickly put the fainted Zhang Zhang into a sack, tied it and carried it away.
Zhufeng, who was hiding in the dark, quietly followed the Cao family servants all the way to the mass grave.
After the servants of the Cao family threw away the sack and left, Zhufeng appeared quietly, opened the sack and checked it out, confirming that Zhang Zhang was still breathing, and carried him away.
When the night was dark, Zhufeng returned to the palace to return his orders to Yu Zheng.
"As the master expected, the Cao family abandoned Li Li. His subordinates have arranged for him and asked a doctor to treat his injuries."
"Keep him carefully, he is still useful." After Yu Zheng finished speaking, he turned and entered the inner room.
Jiang Shufang finished fumigating her black hair, and Chu Yu packed up the fumigation basket and left the room, closing the door.
Jiang Shu sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair with a jade comb.
Seeing Yu Zheng coming in, Jiang Shu asked softly, "Are you done? "
Yu Zheng nodded, his face solemn.
Jiang Shu sighed: "I didn't expect this to be a conspiracy of the Cao family. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Otherwise, if it continued to develop, the Cao family would use this as a handle to attack, and it would be difficult to end. "
Yu Zheng sat down on the couch and said, "This matter has a great impact on the mansion. Without a manager, there will definitely be chaos. We need to act quickly."
Jiang Shu nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will gather the servants in the mansion and select capable people. " I'll take over everything.
" Yu Zheng trusted Jiang Shu very much and believed that she could handle it.
After a busy day, Yu Zheng was a little tired.
Jiang Shu put down the jade comb, stood up and went over to massage his head to relax him.
"In fact, most of the stewards were honest and dutiful when they first entered the mansion. It's just that there is no one to supervise them in the mansion, and their greed gradually emerges. In addition, someone deliberately instigated them, so they committed serious crimes. Wrong."
Even worse, some people like Manager Liu were forced to go along with the corrupt.
Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "I didn't choose the right people and didn't use them well."
He focused on government affairs and didn't pay much attention to the mansion. Although the damage
has been stopped in time, Yu Zheng still feels guilty.
"No matter how powerful a person is, he can't be defeated in everything. You are right." Jiang Shu said in a gentle voice.
Loyal confidants take time Cultivation and training are necessary, but human hearts are fickle, and it is difficult to maintain loyalty if you leave them alone.
Yu Zheng grabbed Jiang Shu's hand, pulled her into his arms, and buried his head in her neck.
Jiang Shu gently stroked Yu Zheng's back without saying anything.
The next day, Jiang Shu asked Zhuo Teng to gather the servants in the mansion to select a new steward.
Using two forms of self-recommendation and recommendation, Jiang Shu gave questions and selected several capable people to serve as new stewards.
The population of the palace was simple and the affairs were not complicated, so Jiang Shu reduced the number by half and only selected ten people.
Zhuo Teng was originally a bookkeeping clerk, and thought Jiang Shu would directly promote him to bookkeeping manager, but unexpectedly Jiang Shu asked him,
"Do you dare to be the housekeeper of the mansion?"
Zhuo Teng looked up in surprise when he heard it. Seeing that Jiang
Shu was serious and not joking, Zhuo Teng lowered his head and suppressed his excitement, saying: "I will not let the princess down."
The housekeeper of the palace is the head of all the housekeepers and the arm of the master.
"After this incident, you should take it as a warning. If you have second thoughts again, you will be severely punished."
"Yes, I will obey the princess's order." Everyone bowed and responded respectfully.
Time can test everything. Jiang Shu no longer said anything. After saying so, he dismissed everyone, leaving only Zhuo Teng and ten other managers to discuss the affairs of the palace.
"Princess, a lot of people have been laid off in the palace this time. Do you want to add more people?" Zhuo Teng asked.
Jiang Shu said, "This matter is not urgent. Let's see if everything can be run properly first, and then add more people if they are really short of people."
The palace has just been through a lot, and adding new people will be another hassle.
"Yes." Zhuo Teng agreed.
Jiang Shu assigned positions according to their characteristics and asked them to go back and familiarize themselves with their duties.
The weather was fine, and Jiang Shu took a walk in the front garden when he returned to the main courtyard.
The flowers and trees that had dried up and fallen leaves in winter had already sprouted The young buds quietly grew and stretched in the sunshine.
"Spring is here, time flies so fast." Jiang Shu sighed as she stroked the young buds.
Chu Yu stroked Jiang Shu, and Leng Xing followed closely behind her.
Ever since the incident at the palace banquet last time, Yu Zheng strictly ordered Leng Xing to follow closely to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
This incident in the palace gave Jiang Shu a warning. She had not inspected Jiang's shop for a long time.
People's hearts are unpredictable and cannot stand scrutiny. After a long time, people will become lazy. Jiang Shu decided to inspect the shop tomorrow.
Yu Zheng was very worried when he learned about it and insisted on going with her.
There are many shops in Jiang's shop. Jiang Shu is pregnant and cannot work as hard as before. Therefore, she only inspected for half a day every day, and it took nearly ten days to complete the inspection.
Although there was no chaos in the shop, there was indeed some slackness. After Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng inspected it, the shopkeepers and clerks were greatly alerted.
The weather was getting warmer day by day, and it was already the seventh day of February.
"Master, Zhuiyun is back." Zhufeng went to the study to report.
Yu Zheng raised his eyes from the documents, looked at Zhu Feng and asked, "Where is he?"
Zhu Feng bowed and said, "Dali Temple." Yu
Zheng stood up neatly and said, "Go to Dali Temple."
Lin Xunfu's master was a wanted criminal, so he could only be handed over to the Dali Temple for custody.
When Yu Zheng arrived at the Dali Temple, Sun Hechuan had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness," Sun Hechuan led Yu Zheng to the Dali Temple.
"Master." Zhui Yun, who was in the interrogation room, saw Yu Zheng and bowed.
Yu Zheng sat down, his dark eyes looking at the man tied to the torture pillar.
Zhui Yun said on the side, "This man's name is Wen Yuanxiu, 37 years old, and he is Lin Xunfu's confidant."
Yu Zheng didn't say anything, but was still looking.
The head on the pillar was drooping, and as if he felt Yu Zheng's gaze, he slowly raised his head.
