Princess Consort Is No Pushover

When the emperor heard the truth, he stared at the queen in disappointment.

He can cover her for other things, except this kind of thing!

He approached the queen step by step, with a livid face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Queen, didn't you say that you feel sorry for the people and sympathize with the people? Then why is the disaster relief fund in Mrs. Wei's villa?"

The queen was very panicked in her heart, and said calmly on the surface, "The emperor calmed down. The concubine raised money for disaster relief. The concubine told her sister a long time ago that she asked her to send all the money to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief. How did Yinzi get to her villa, sister, what is going on here?"

As she spoke, she quickly winked at Mrs. Wei Guo.

Mrs. Wei Guo was a little nervous at this moment.

She stood up suddenly, walked towards Gao Yang, slapped him on the face, and said angrily: "You are a foodie! Madam Ben trusted you so much and asked you to lead a team to transport the disaster relief funds to the south of the Yangtze River. In the end, you actually sent the disaster relief money to the south of the Yangtze River. The money was transferred to my wife's villa! Gao Yang, I have treated you well, why did you do such a thing? Are you worthy of the emperor and queen, and the people of the world?"

Gao Yang was stunned by this slap.

He glared at Mrs. Wei Guo angrily, "Ma'am, didn't you tell me to transfer? We all follow your orders, and now you want to fall on me alone?"

Chu Xuanchen didn't lose the opportunity to say, "That's right, Mrs. Wei, if Gao Yang really coveted your silver, why would he transfer it to your other village? Why didn't he just follow his plan, transport it to Jiangnan, and embezzle this money on the way?" Approval of money?"

Mrs. Wei Guo's eyes flashed, and she said in a panic: "Who knows him? Maybe he hasn't had time to transfer. Anyway, Mrs. Ben ordered him to transport all the relief funds to the south of the Yangtze River, but he transferred them privately and gave the people this kind of porridge. Your Majesty , both the empress and I have been wronged, please enlighten me!"

Chu Xuanchen smiled coldly, "Madam Wei, if the testimony of Gao Yang alone is not credible, what about your thugs and Mr. Accountant?"

Speaking of this, he bowed his hands to Emperor Hongyuan, "Your Majesty, I want to know whether the money was embezzled by Mrs. Wei or Gao Yang. You can imprison all these servants and torture them to extract confessions. I believe the truth will come out soon."

When Mrs. Wei Guo heard this, her body softened immediately.

Her thugs are all mobs, they all listen to Gao Yang alone, and they are only willing to do things for her if they have money.

Once she falls, they will turn back quickly.

Sure enough, those thugs were afraid of being tortured to extract a confession, and wanted to defend Gao Yang, so they said one after another: "Your Majesty, this is all because Mrs. Wei Guo wanted to embezzle this batch of money. The younger ones are all following her orders. It is for the younger ones With a thousand guts, the little ones would not dare to embezzle so much money."

The accountant's body was shaking like chaff, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

He tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Wei asked Xiao to keep this ledger. She asked Xiao to write down a real ledger and a fake ledger for her. The real one will be shown to the queen, and the fake one will be shown to you. Just to embezzle disaster relief money. Not only this year, but also previous years.”

Gao Yang also made up the knife in time, "Yes, Your Majesty, Mrs. Wei used this name of fundraising to embezzle a lot of money in previous years. Last year, she embezzled 500,000 taels of silver, and she used the same method. My little ones First transfer the money to her villa for her, and when the limelight passes and no one pays attention to her, she will ask the younger ones to transfer the money to her Duke's mansion for her to squander. The younger ones are just for her Doing business, I only got a mouthful of food and clothing, and didn't get any benefits. All the benefits were obtained by her alone, and it really has nothing to do with the little ones."
