Chapter 83 Must report to official

There was not even a bird chirping in Tingxue Tower that day, and it seemed unusually quiet.

"Nanny Ning, it's not good." A maid's panicked cry broke the silence, "The princess is here."

"Why are you panicking?" Nanny Ning glanced at the maid coldly and said angrily: "She is the princess, she can come when she wants, what's the fuss about."

The maid raised her sleeves to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead, and swallowed with a grunt, "The princess has seven or eight faces, and she restrains people when she sees them. Her posture is like, she doesn't want us to listen to snow."

People in the building leave."

Aunt Ning frowned and led the people out to greet her. Sure enough, she saw Gu Mingshu leading a group of people coming with murderous intent.

She had never seen those people before. They were not ordinary servants of the Hailing Palace, nor were they secret guards arranged by the Hailing Prince.

"I've seen the princess. I wonder what her orders are when she comes?" Aunt Ning gave her a courtesy.

"I want to go into the treasury to do an accounting." Gu Mingshu said bluntly.

Taking stock? Aunt Ning's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Mrs. Gu was really not a good person.

Her face became more and more respectful: "What is stored in the treasury belongs to the royal family. Our ancestors once established a rule that before entering the treasury for accounting, you need the approval of the head of the family. Now the princess does not have complete power to run the family. If she needs to enter the treasury for accounting, she still has to do so."

Only if the old dowager agrees."

"Oh, grandma has agreed." Gu Mingshu lied without blinking, "Make way."

Of course Grandma Ning didn't believe it. How could the old concubine ask Gu Mingshu to settle the accounts of the treasury? If the old concubine knew that Gu Mingshu had this intention, she would probably kill her directly.

"The princess' words are true, do you have any tokens of trust?"

The maid next to Gu Mingshu immediately scolded: "How outrageous! Who do you think you are? You dare to question the princess? Do you want to rebel?"

Aunt Ning was not afraid at all, and said: "I am here, and guarding the treasury is my duty. Doing things impartially is my code of conduct. If the princess has a token, just show it. If she doesn't have a token and wants to break in, just do it."

Princess, please step over this old slave!"

As she said that, she actually led someone in front of her, her expression was as if she were dead, but her posture was menacing.

She raised her hand and hooked her fingers, and Chunhua behind her pounced on Nanny Ning like a bird of prey, pinning her firmly to the ground in a few seconds.

Gu Mingshu lowered her eyes and looked at Nanny Ning, who was spreading bread on the floor. She stepped on her back with her embroidered shoes without hesitation, then took another step forward and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have heard such a strange thing.

Require."

With that said, she took out the key to the vault from her arms and strode towards the vault door.

However, when she was still a few steps away from the treasury door, light and shadow suddenly flashed on all sides of the courtyard wall, and three or four shadow guards flew down, blocking her way. Judging from their appearance, she thought they were the old concubine's shadow guards.

.

Gu Mingshu was not surprised. In such an important place, she would not believe it if there were no decent secret guards.

Without waiting for Gu Mingshu to say anything, Cui Wei, Qiu Xia Dong and eight people from the southeast, northwest and northwest quickly flashed out and started fighting the shadow guard directly.

In the Palace of Prince Hailing, Mrs. Yun’s shadow guard has great power. Anyone who sees the shadow guard dressed in black and red will be frightened. However, except for the people Gu Mingshu brought this time,

Cui Wei, who is not a new face?

They didn't know any royal shadow guards who were decisive in killing. In the end, after dozens of rounds between the two sides, all the previously arrogant group of hidden killers were captured by Gu Mingshu's maids.

Gu Mingshu turned the key chain with her fingers and looked back at Nanny Ning with a meaningful look, "I suspected that someone was watching over theft, and I was afraid that someone might be a thief with a guilty conscience and block it, so I brought more people with me in case of emergency."

Nanny Ning raised her dusty face and shouted: "Princess, you broke into the treasury without permission, but you still beat me up, won't your conscience hurt?"

Gu Mingshu inserted the key into the keyhole. After hearing a clear "click" sound, she turned back and smiled sweetly at her grandma: "You might as well ask your master about this."

After the door opened, Gu Mingshu ordered Cui Wei to go in with her, while the rest of the people stood guard at the door.

Cui Wei took out their previous accounts and compared them one by one. It didn't take long for him to say in surprise: "I'm a good boy, in just a few days, the gifts given by the emperor have been reduced by ten or so compared to the last time we checked."

So, I don’t know how much the rest of the treasure is missing.”

"Miss, this thief must be crazy. She would risk her life to fill such a big hole."

Gu Mingshu sneered: "I pay my debts and kill people to pay for my life. I don't know if a cheap life is enough for some people."

If Xiao Yu'er hadn't died suddenly, Gu Mingshu might still have chosen Xu Xu Tuzhi over Yun Qianxue.

But now looking at the empty warehouse and thinking that Yun Qianxue might have used the money in it to buy people and things to kill people for her and make her do evil, Gu Mingshu felt that she had acted too late!

Cui Wei followed Gu Mingshu's instructions and focused on some of the congratulatory gifts given by the palace on her wedding. There were dozens of treasures, but not even one of them was left.

After she finished ordering, she asked angrily: "Miss, what should I do now?"

Gu Mingshu said: "Now that we have determined the loss, we should report it to the official. Such a huge loss of property naturally requires the official to investigate and resolve the case."

When Grandma Ning heard this, she immediately shouted: "You can't report it to the official! How can the family scandal be made public? In fact, the old slave was ordered by the old concubine to keep the treasury here, and he had already been investigating the rat in the house. But there was no evidence, and

Taking into account the reputation of the palace, it has been kept secret."

Gu Mingshu curled her lips: "Since we are investigating, have you found anything?"

"We have some clues. Moreover, a lot of lost things have been recovered. As long as things don't get too big, the loss to the mansion will be minimized and the reputation will not be damaged. Princess, what do you think?" Nanny Ning was thinking.

Let's turn big things into small things.

Gu Mingshu was not easy to fool: "Concealing the loss of a gift given by the emperor would be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan if pursued. Who will bear the responsibility for this crime? Aunt Ning, you?"

"The gift given by the emperor was not lost, but it was moved to another place by Concubine Yun for protection." Aunt Ning still tried her best to save her respect.

Gu Mingshu laughed angrily: "Where did it move to? Could it be that it was moved to some pawn shop to exchange for money?"

Aunt Ning said: "That is a gift from the emperor. What kind of pawn shop dares to accept it after eating it? Princess, don't worry, the thing is just hidden in a secret place. If you are really worried, you have to check it and wait for the concubine.

When she comes back, you can let her prepare and move back in two or three days."

Gu Mingshu felt like a mirror in her heart: This old naughty slave was determined to save Yun Qianxue's respect to the end and delay time. Come to think of it, he usually reaped many benefits.

She looked at her mother-in-law and said, "You said that you need the approval of the patriarch of the family to enter the treasury. This is the ancestral rule. But now so many things are gone, and I, the patriarch who controls half of the family, don't know anything."

Aunt Ning wanted to say that all the things were transferred and protected before Gu Mingshu got married, but Cuiwei's account book contained all the things given to her by the palace when Qin Yue got married, so she couldn't explain her sophistry.

Gu Mingshu sneered: "If you talk about breaking the sky, this is also stolen. Cui Wei, report it to the official!"

The love brain is fearless
