Eunuch Xu was also shocked by this sudden development.
Before this, he was full of confidence. He felt that Jing Ningbo, who was granted the imperial title, was a child of a noble family who did not like the fireworks of the world. His blessings and privileges were only due to the blessings of his ancestors. He had seen many such anointed children and could easily deceive him.
past.
But he never expected that he would stumble on Cui Weizhen.
How did this person know that the area of the palace was reduced? Did he send someone to inquire about the information before?
Cui Weizhen indeed sent someone to inquire about the information, but Eunuch Xu handled the matter in a flawless manner, and his servants were very strict, so they couldn't ask anything valuable at all.
When supervising the construction of Yunshan Academy, he did not just take a look. Every time, he dutifully planned the map and inspected the site. After the four academies were built, he had his own experience in measuring the area of the building, plus his subordinates made inquiries.
The news that came out and the gossip that I just heard in the restaurant are almost the same.
Xu Gonggong and outsiders embezzled the property and building area of the palace, and Gu County Magistrate was the insider.
Cui Weizhen's hand caressed the courtyard wall, looked at Eunuch Xu with a half-smile, and said: "It's a rare trip. I want to visit my neighbor. I'd like to ask Eunuch Xu to introduce him to you."
Eunuch Xu could no longer maintain the composure and composure on his face, big beads of sweat fell from his forehead, and his voice was slightly panicked: "I'm afraid I will be disappointed. Unfortunately, the owner next door went out a while ago.
You are traveling around, and your return date is uncertain. There are only servants taking care of the house, so I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you."
"Going out for a wander?"
Cui Weizhen chuckled with a smile on his lips: "It's really not a coincidence."
Eunuch Xu's heart felt as if someone had tightened it with a thin string and was hanging high in the air. He held his breath and concentrated, but he never heard Cui Weizhen say another word for a long time. He was just hung up and down, unable to touch.
It was completely confusing to find out what medicine was in the other party's gourd.
As expected, he was worthy of being the youngest minister in history. He finally understood how difficult this Uncle Jing Ning was.
Just when Eunuch Xu was confused, Cui Weizhen suddenly spoke again: "The annual income and expenses of Yongye Field under the name of the uncle's house are also a big project to liquidate. Today I will bring the accountant and housekeeper.
A certain amount can be used to help Eunuch Xu settle the matter together. If the calculation is completed as soon as possible, Eunuch Xu can be relieved as soon as possible."
For some reason, when he heard the word "liberation", Eunuch Xu couldn't help but shudder. He wanted to refuse, but the missing area of Prince Jingning's palace was like a sharp knife hanging on the side of his neck. Uncle Jingning's insight into everything became even more intense.
It made him uneasy, so he didn't dare to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it.
"Uncle, please rest assured that our family will definitely sort out all the accounts within a month and hand them over to you for review."
"One month is too long, ten days."
Cui Weizhen said: "I believe Eunuch Xu has kept accounts in previous years, so it won't be too difficult to settle the accounts."
Eunuch Xu was so choked that he couldn't utter any excuses, so he could only respond incessantly. However, he added: "Accounting is tedious and complicated and cannot be done in a quiet place. There are many servants in the palace, and people come and go.
It’s inevitable to be noisy in the past, so why not go to a village in the suburbs to settle things quietly? What do you think, uncle?”
Cui Weizhen smiled softly: "It's just like what Eunuch Xu said."
Cui Weizhen's kind words not only did not reassure Eunuch Xu, but instead made him increasingly panicked, as if something was out of control and developing in an unpredictable direction.
