Chapter 348 Confiscation of Household
The princess is someone who will do what she says, and she will not say what she cannot do.
Having lived under the same roof for so many years, how could Concubine Jiang not know the princess's temperament? Besides, even if the princess wouldn't do that, there was still Xie Guimo.
Concubine Jiang walked away with gritted teeth.
Seeing Concubine Jiang leaving in anger, the princess felt a headache. There were already a lot of messes in the mansion, and once the Jiang family was imprisoned, Concubine Jiang would definitely hold a grudge against Mo'er Tang'er.
The princess didn't know much about this matter, but she knew a general idea. The Prince of Ning wanted to overturn the verdict of the demoted Envoy Lu of Ganzhou, so he involved Master Jiang. Envoy Lu had done favors for the Marquis of Pingyuan's Mansion, and the Prince of Ning helped to clear his grievances, and it is impossible for him to just ignore it because of the Jiang family.
The princess went up the stairs, and Chen Tang called out, "Mother..."
The princess sighed inwardly, "I have to be more careful in the mansion from now on."
Shen Tang nodded.
When Xie Guimo returned from the study, the princess asked him, "What's going on with the Jiang family?"
"Master Jiang should know the current situation and take the initiative to reveal the mastermind behind this. Father will help to plead for him, and perhaps he can be sentenced to confiscation of property and exile."
If you reveal the mastermind behind this, you will be sentenced to confiscation of property and exile...
How big is this criminal?
The princess knew what was going on, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just asked about Chen Tang and the baby in her belly.
Chen Tang said, "I'm fine, mother, I plan to go to Prince Ning's mansion tomorrow..."
The princess smiled and said, "According to the date, it's already been three months. The fetus won't be disturbed easily. It's okay to be careful when going out."
Chen Tang nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, mother."
The princess left without staying long.
The princess left, and before she even left the room, Chen Tang could hear a hot breath in her ear, "It's been three months..."
Chen Tang's ears felt itchy and numb. She knew what this guy was thinking, so she quickly walked away.
After nightfall, before Chen Tang showed any signs of sleepiness, the maid had already prepared hot water. The prince used to take a shower at night, but ever since the old lady found out about it and sent two maids over, the prince hasn't even taken a cold shower these days. What a good prince he is! Now that the prince's wife can share the same bed with him again, of course he has to be more sensible.
The maid prepared the hot water, and Chen Tang got up to take a bath. Just as he finished his bath, Xie Guimo came back from the study and picked up Chen Tang horizontally.
The night is endless.
Tender and affectionate.
…
The next day, when Chen Tang woke up, it was already noon.
After getting pregnant, I get hungry easily. If I just get up half an hour later, my stomach will start to growl.
After washing up, the maid brought breakfast into the room. Not seeing Xie Guimo coming in, Chen Tang asked, "Where is the prince?"
Gingko looked at Qiu Tong, "Didn't you tell the Crown Princess that the Emperor called the Crown Prince into the palace early in the morning?"
Qiu Tong said, "I thought you said it."
Chen Tang, "..."
Two maids, you thought I told you, and I thought you told me, but neither of us told you.
However, it was common for the emperor to look for Xie Guimo, so there was nothing to be surprised about, so Chen Tang sat down to eat.
Just after eating a golden spring roll, Si'er came in and said happily, "Princess, the emperor issued an order this morning to release Envoy Lu without charge, and all the confiscated items were returned to the Lu family. Envoy Lu was also transferred to Beijing to take up a post and promoted one level. Although Young Master Lu faked his death to escape, he was credited with investigating the case, so the emperor pardoned him for his crime of absconding. Old Prince Ning recommended him, and the emperor granted Young Master Lu permission to join the City Patrol Division as deputy director..."
Envoy Lu Xuanfu's family was wrongly treated and exiled to the border for more than a year, but fortunately, all the hardships paid off. In the future, he will go to Beijing to take up a post. With the support of his father and Prince Ning, Envoy Lu Xuanfu will surely rise to a high position.
The Lu family stayed in Kyoto, and the second brother could visit the Lu family often. Otherwise, if he had to go back to Ganzhou, the second brother would definitely miss everyone in the Lu family.
This arrangement is the best.
But what made Chen Tang happy was what happened next. Si'er said, "The account books that the eldest young master brought back to Beijing were checked by the Minister of Justice all night and confirmed to be true. The emperor ordered a search and confiscation of the Jiang family during the morning court session. The people who were searching are probably at the Jiang family by now."
Officials and bandits in Ganzhou have been colluding for many years and have robbed passing cargo ships countless times. Ganzhou officials did not get much, and most of the stuff was sent to Beijing.
As a middleman, Mr. Jiang handled hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Only by ransacking the house could the stolen goods be found.
If the confiscated items and the account books can mostly match, then the case can be solved by Master Jiang. However, if there is a huge discrepancy, we must trace the whereabouts of the stolen money and find out the mastermind behind it.
At the morning court session, Prince Qi and Prince Yu vied for taking over the case and wanted to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice in investigating the case. Prince Yu said that the murdered prefect of Ganzhou was recommended by Marquis Changping, and given the relationship between Prince Qi and Marquis Changping, he should avoid suspicion. So the Emperor handed the case over to Prince Yu.
All the civil and military officials had a rough idea about this case. They thought it was most likely related to Prince of Qi and Marquis of Changping. The people on Prince of Qi's side were a little trembling with fear.
Once Mr. Jiang can't hold on any longer and confesses, or if some evidence is found in the Jiang Mansion, the King of Qi will be finished.
No egg can be left unbroken when the nest is overturned. Once the King of Qi falls, what good end will those who followed him have? Especially the King of Qi's confidants, who had openly opposed the King of Yu, felt that a disaster was about to happen.
It was obvious that the King of Qi was more powerful before, so why did things suddenly take a turn for the worse later? It is too late to turn to the light now, and he can only go down this path until the end.
After breakfast, Chen Tang took Ginkgo and Qiu Tong out of the house. When they arrived at the gate, the carriage was already waiting there.
Xie Guimo didn't have time to accompany her to Prince Ning's Mansion, but he was worried, so he had to send more secret guards to follow her.
Chen Shan was responsible for driving the carriage.
It was such a big scene that Chen Tang felt embarrassed to go out.
The guards led the way, and the carriage arrived at Prince Ning's mansion smoothly.
The last time Chen Tang came to see Princess Roujia, he was still with the princess, and that was a month ago. However, Chen Tang did not come, so Yinxing came for her twice. Princess Roujia still had some morning sickness occasionally, but it was not as severe as at the beginning, thanks to the dried fish that Yinxing bought.
For this, Princess Ning rewarded Ginkgo with a gold bracelet, and Princess Roujia also rewarded Ginkgo with a lot of golden melon seeds and peanuts.
Seeing that it was the carriage from Prince Jingyang's mansion, the servants of Prince Ning's mansion hurried to greet them and cordially welcomed Chen Tang into the mansion.
After entering the second gate and walking forward for a while, I saw Princess Roujia coming from afar. She looked much better than the last time I saw her.
Princess Roujia smiled and said, "I knew you would come in the next two days. I was afraid you would be in a mess, so I asked my husband to go to Jingyang Palace to see you. My husband said he would go tomorrow, and you came."
Chen Tang asked, "Brother, are you busy today?"
"He and the Second Young Master went to look for the First Young Master Lu. The old prince wants to see the First Young Master Lu."
Chen Tang smiled and said, "It's good that big brother returns safely. It's not necessary to see him."
"Brother, you must be very happy to know that sister-in-law is pregnant when you come back, right?"
