Chapter 282: Chapter 282: The Master of the Prefecture 14

Xiao Yuan Cheng is also aware of the weight of the matter. The Huang Bei Yue right now is different from the trash in the past. If it was that trash from the past, he could have locked her up in the Floating Cloud Pavilion and never let her out!

But today, in Ling Yang College, he had personally witnessed her deal with Lin Wan Yi and Lin Zi Cheng. Furthermore, she had killed a servant at home. Even Xiao Qi Yuan had personally come to express his goodwill, so who would dare to touch her now?

This girl can't be offended right now. Just by making her slightly unhappy, she had actually invited people from the Commander of Justice to come here. With such a big matter, it would definitely alarm the emperor. The emperor had already suspected that Xiao Yuan Chen has been cruel to Huang Bei Yue. If the emperor catches his weakness, then his career as an official would be ruined.

After thinking it over and over again, Xiao Yuan Cheng decided to abandon the car to protect his honor. After all, the path of an official was more important. He had also hidden quite a sum of wealth over the years. It shouldn't be a problem for him if he leaves his relationships behind.

Honestly speaking, Princess Zhang's residence's treasury is basically an empty shell now. The treasures inside the treasury are mostly fakes. What's the use of a guard to guard those worthless things?

After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan Cheng sighed. He slowly took out the key from his chest, handing it to Huang Bei Yue.

Huang Bei Yue received it and slowly said: "Dong Ling, thoroughly interrogate Steward Zhou to report all the treasures that were smuggled out previously. Also, make sure to report all the correct tax revenue that Princess Zhang's residence had collected over the years."

Xiao Yuan Cheng said in dissatisfaction: "Bei Yue, are you really not trusting your father?"

"Father, you have a lot of maters to handle so you had overlooked a few things. How could I trust you? How could things have gotten to this point?" Huang Bei Yue said coldly.

Xiao Yuan Cheng's expression was unhappy. This girl has really rebelled. She actually dared to teach him a lesson!

However, the matter had already been cleared up. After the interrogation, Steward Zhou would reveal all the items he had kept hidden for so many years. Paper can't cover fire, nothing could be concealed.

"Humph! The reason I'm using the property in this house is for this family! Do you think it's easy for me, all these years? Your mother has been dead for many years and I don't have a high position in the military. If I didn't use this money to manage this residence, do you think that Princess Zhang's residence can remain peaceful until now?"

"Father is confused!" Huang Bei Yue tried her best to suppress her voice to prevent her anger from erupting, "If you want to manage the residence, you can give it out openly. For the sake of Princess Zhang's residence, would I say no? But now, it's like you've been caught like a thief. If this gets out, how many people will laugh at us?!"

Xiao Zhang's face and ear turned red as he said: "Since this matter has already passed, let it pass. No one is allowed to bring it up again, much less spread it out!"

Huang Bei Yue snorted coldly and instructed Dong Ling: "Take Steward Zhou to the Flowing Cloud Pavilion and interrogate him!"

After finishing her sentence, she turned to look at Concubine Xue: "I remember that for many years, it has always been Concubine Xue who manages the Princess Zhang's accounts, right?"

Concubine Xue's face stiffened. How come she's asking for the account books for the land deeds so quickly? She's so quick to cut through the mess and muddy waters, not wasting time at all!

This decisive and fierce character, why did it not resemble Princess Zhang's gentle character at all?

"Yes, I'm in charge of all of it." Concubine Xue said hoarsely. She was in charge of Miyang region's accounts and Concubine Qin was in charge of the Qinghe region's accounts. Everyone in the household knew about this matter. Hence, even if she wants to put the blame on someone else, she can't.

"I'm sure that Concubine Xue has managed Mi Yang region's account very well. Let Xia Chun go get it so I can have a look."


Chapter 283: Chapter 283: The Master of the Prefecture 15

Concubine Xue, on the other hand, wasn't worried or frightened. She ordered for Xia Chun to bring the account books over. She always has been a detailed person, knowing to leave a road behind her. She was different from Concubine Qin, that type of idiot mind.

The matter of the account books, she never had someone else done it. She always did it herself. Therefore, she wasn't worried that it might implicate her in when they were interrogating housekeeper Zhou.

Xiao Chun brought the account books over to Huang Bei Yue. She flipped one open, glancing at it and not looking anymore. She knew the type of person Concubine Xue was. She wouldn't easily let her be able to use the information against her. Therefore, she didn't spend time arguing based on this matter. She took the account books and let Dong Ling bring housekeeper Zhou and Pei Yu before going to Liu Yun Ge.

Housekeeper Zhou was carried into Liu Yun Ge by servants and Huang Bei Yue had ordered for them to interrogate him properly. If he confessed everything truthfully then she might let him go and let him bring Pei Yu home to enjoy the rest of their lives.

At this time, housekeeper Zhou was completely disappointed with Xiao Yuan Cheng. Therefore, he had confessed everything. He told them about how he helped Concubine Qin and Xiao Yuan Cheng make fake account books, how he used fake items to transfer the precious treasures within the prefecture's storage room out as well as where taxation that Concubine Qin had gotten from the region QingHe was used towards, etc.

When Dong Ling had finished interrogating him, she had locked housekeeper Zhou and Pei Yu into one side room. Then she went inside to report this to Huang Bei Yue.

When Huang Bei Yue was finished listening to this, she faintly smiled: "This housekeeper Zhou knows what's best for him and is smart. This Concubine Qin had found him and made a wise decision in doing so. However, it's because housekeeper Zhou was too smart that this time, Concubine Qin might not be able to sleep."

"How can she be able to sleep tonight? Look at her expression today. When housekeeper Zhou is really caught, she probably wouldn't even dare to close her eyes!" Dong Ling also grinned.

Huang Bei Yue pondered over it before exclaiming: "Isn't Xiao Yuan Cheng afraid that his scandals would be spread to people? You go look for a servant and let him make this matter publicly known. The best if the whole city ends up knowing about this."

"Yes, young miss!" Dong Ling happily left.

The room was quiet now and Huang Bei Yue picked up " Hundred Ways of Refinement Scroll "up again. She flipped through the scroll. She wanted to wait until the day is dark and then go out to find family Bu Ji Er's Luo Luo.

Concubine Qin's Qiu Rong Yuan

At this time, within the room, came crashes and bangs as well as Concubine Qin's swearing.

"That slutty girl! How come she dared to show off herself!"

"Mother, just be quiet. Later on, if someone hears it and it goes to her ears, it's another thing she can use against!" Xiao Rou and Xiao Zhong Qi sat next to each other, watching as their mother smashed things.

"Who, who dared to go and notify her?" As Concubine Qin exclaimed this, she seemed to remember something. She raised her head to inquire: "Where's Pei Xiang?"

All the maids in the room all shook their heads, petrified.

Concubine Qin glared and shouted: "Go tie Pei Xiang, that wench in!"

A couple of maids hurriedly went out and coincidentally, they saw Pei Xiang at the door. They rushed to say: "Sister Pei Xiang, the lady is looking for you!"

"Oh? What is the matter for which the lady is looking for me for ah?" Pei Xiang was not startled or scared. She faintly smiled, walking in. "Why is the lady having such a huge attitude for? If you hurt your body from being angry, then that isn't good."

Concubine Qin was angry: "You're a slut. When did you and Huang Bei Yue, that slutty girl, collude with each other?"

Today at the lotus pond, Pei Xiang's attitude towards Huang Bei Yue made her suspicious of her already. It's just that a lot of things happened after that so she didn't have time to look into it.

Now, she finally understood. As it turned out, by her side, there happened to be a spy by her side without her knowing!

"I am advising for Concubine Qin to keep your mouth clean. The third young miss isn't like the third young miss in the past. If she had heard this, you will suffer from this!"
