Chapter 425: Lord Shilang Won't Give A Reasonable Explanation?
Since Zheng's death, Gu Jinhui has been quietly studying in his yard. He will be present at important events in the Gu family but will not talk much.
Except for the incident where she had an accident with her hairpin and he was particularly concerned about her, he was polite and courteous after that.
If I took the initiative to stop her today, there must be something going on.
So Gu Jinyan stopped.
Look at him carefully.
Gu Jinhui thought for a while and then said: "The court arranged for you to go to Bingzhou to provide disaster relief. I also heard some things in the academy today. The court did not arrange anyone for you to go to Bingzhou. I think I can go with you and help with some things."
"During this period of study, I can at least be responsible for registering supplies for disaster relief."
He had carefully thought about how he could help. His abilities were limited and he could do very little, but he was not useless.
At least it can be of some help.
Look at his sincere eyes.
It was obvious that he really wanted to help.
only....
Gu Jinyan still said seriously: "Jin Hui, yesterday I had three scholars come over and be willing to work with me, so I'm not that short of people here."
"On the contrary, there is a shortage of people around my grandmother."
"I made an agreement with my grandmother today. She will leave Kyoto for a while in the name of visiting relatives. Then Jinlang and my mother-in-law will go. I want you to help look after my grandmother and my mother-in-law. Jinlang
I'm not worried if someone goes with me, so if you go with me, if anything happens, you can give me news." Gu Jinyan said seriously.
Gu Jinhui didn't know about this.
After thinking about it carefully, this is a better arrangement.
Then he nodded: "Okay, don't worry."
Gu Jinyan patted his shoulder, nodded, and then left.
When I returned to the Prince Regent's Mansion, I saw people from the Ministry of Revenue, people in a courtyard, and many boxes in the courtyard. These should be the disaster relief silver coins sent over.
The one who came was the Minister of Household Affairs.
Seeing Gu Jinyan coming, she smiled and said: "Princess Regent, these are the disaster relief silver taels allocated to you by the emperor. The total is 1.5 million taels. Please count them and go to Bingzhou with the disaster relief silver taels as soon as possible."
Gu Jinyan looked at the boxes.
One and a half million taels of silver, are you so kind?
Seeing that Gu Jinyan was silent, the Minister of Household Affairs urged: "Princess Regent, hurry up and take stock."
"One box costs two hundred thousand taels, and there are eight boxes in total."
Gu Jinyan's eyes glanced at the Minister of Hube. Her gaze was so powerful that the Minister of Hube shrank when he saw her gaze, but he still faced her bravely.
He also worked for the emperor, so he was afraid of what a regent princess would do.
Gu Jinyan nodded and asked someone to count the amount of silver.
The Minister of Household Affairs said: "The money allocated by the Emperor was sent by the Household Department. Does the Princess Regent need to be like this? Is it because she doesn't trust the Emperor or the Household Department? Can it be done without your money?"
"There are a lot of things in the household department, so we don't have much time to waste here."
Xiaochun is very angry.
This Minister of Household Affairs actually spoke so rudely in front of the princess. It was really outrageous!
Xiaochun stepped forward and wanted to reason.
Gu Jinyan held her back.
It didn't matter what the Minister of Revenue said, as long as she didn't nod and accept it, it didn't count.
Let Qing Ling and the others inspect it carefully.
It is impossible for the imperial court to be so kind as to give her so much money for disaster relief after what happened.
I originally wanted to embarrass her, but I didn't want to embarrass her about the amount of silver, so what exactly was the obstacle? Gu Jinyan couldn't think of it for a moment.
Qing Ling came over with a solemn expression, looked at Gu Jinyan, nodded, and said in a low voice: "There is no problem with the quantity. I didn't see anything else. It's official silver."
Just because she didn't find anything wrong there, Qing Ling couldn't figure it out for a while.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor and Gu Jinyu would not be so kind.
Gu Jinyan took a deep breath.
With a smile on his face, Minister Hube said, "Princess Regent, do you have any more questions? If there is no problem, we will go back to deliver the mission. We have been waiting here for such a long time, and we are still anxious to go back to deliver the mission."
"Besides, this is money personally allocated by the emperor and sent by me personally. What can be wrong with it?"
Gu Jinyan frowned.
There is no dissatisfaction with the urging of the Minister of Revenue.
Whenever something goes wrong, there is a reason behind it.
Gu Jinyan went to see the silver in person.
The Minister of Household Affairs was already impatient: "Princess Regent, if you continue like this, you will be disrespectful to the Emperor."
"Shut up!" Gu Jinyan glanced at him and spoke aggressively.
The Minister of Tobe is really a little scared of her.
After all, this is the Princess Regent.
Qing Ling also spoke up at the right time: "Do you want to be disrespectful first, Mr. Minister of Household Affairs?"
"This is the Regent's Palace, and this is the Princess Regent."
The Minister of Tobe shut up at the right moment.
Qing Ling glared at him. Now that there was an ill-named Imperial Master, even these little Luoluo who helped him with things were so embarrassed that they dared to ride on the face of the Princess Regent and act wildly.
Then Qing Ling walked beside Gu Jinyan and asked in a low voice: "Princess, is there anything wrong?"
After Gu Jinyan looked at the silver on the first layer carefully, she turned over the silver. When she got closer, she smelled something wrong.
She has been following Master for many years and is very sensitive to smells.
Others may not feel this, but she can clearly feel it.
But what is the problem with these smells? It can't be poisoning the silver, right? There can't be such a simple and despicable method, and this smell seems to have nothing to do with these.
While Gu Jinyan was thinking, she saw a silver ingot, picked it up, and frowned when she saw it.
He signaled Qing Ling to give her the dagger.
Gu Jinyan chopped hard, and the mystery inside the silver came out.
The moment Qing Ling saw Yin Zi, her face turned pale.
The Minister of Household Affairs was pretending to be calm, but now his expression was extremely ugly.
He was already a little guilty, but he never expected that he would be discovered. This regent princess was indeed extraordinary, but what to do about this matter.
He urged just now because he wanted to hurry up and make a deal.
At this moment, his face was ashen, and he suddenly understood why he got so many benefits to come to the Regent's Mansion to do this thing, but the Lord Shang Shu didn't come, and he was finished.
He became the one who took the blame.
Lord Shangshu promised him the benefits, and also told him that he came to the Regent's Palace, and that the Regent Princess had always been generous.
These are all fake.
The Minister of Household Affairs fell to the ground.
Gu Jinyan looked at him: "Do you want to give me a reasonable explanation, Sir?"
