The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official
Chapter 156 Inspector
The Nangong family was quite satisfied with the two imperial edicts they received, but some people were unhappy.
As soon as Eunuch Wang finished reading the decree, everyone outside knew about it. Everyone was thinking about it.
To patrol the country on behalf of the emperor and to be an inspector.
This was a new position, and the little emperor was not easy to serve.
This position suddenly appeared out of nowhere and all the adults didn't know what to do.
Everyone should be more careful in the future. For example, when the emperor mentioned the disaster relief in Jiangnan, he had first-hand information.
No one knows when the emperor sent someone.
Now there is another inspector coming, and he is not so easy to offend.
Although he is no longer the prince of the Marquis Changyong's Mansion, he was promoted from the sixth rank to the third rank, and the officials could not say anything against it.
How to object?
When he was just an official of the sixth rank, he was already a favorite in the eyes of the emperor. Whenever there was something to be discussed in the court, the emperor would always discuss it with the official of the sixth rank before making a decision.
Now that he has been promoted from the sixth rank to the third rank and has officially attended court, who can argue with him?
This kid is actually very capable and well-informed, which gives all the officials a headache.
And now the emperor has assigned him a task, asking him to patrol the country on behalf of the emperor and supervise all officials.
Everyone can only check carefully to see if they have offended the Marquis Changyong's Mansion.
After Nangong Yu, who had been promoted to the third rank official, returned to the backyard, he and Gu Ruoxi gathered around the newly made wheelchair to look at it.
After Gu Ruoxi pointed out the shortcomings of this, it was taken for repair again.
At night, Nangong Yu looked at Gu Ruoxi sleeping in bed and asked:
"Xi'er, mother-in-law seems a little strange today? You said her eyes are all healed?"
Gu Ruoxi nodded, turned over and sat up, looking at Nangong Yu with a worried look on her face and said:
"What do you think we should do in the future? When I was treating my mother, I seemed to have used too much force. Now her eyes can see how ants crawl three meters away. Moreover, her ears have become sharper. As soon as your carriage arrived at the door, she said you were here."
Nangong Yu felt very curious and said:
"If there really is such a magical skill, then you should have treated me before. Why can't I see far and hear clearly?"
Gu Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Do you think everyone can be like this? I don't know why my mother is like this."
Nangong Yu said:
"Hey, don't you have this ability? Maybe your mother has some ability too, but she just hasn't discovered it yet. Did you learn this ability from others or did you learn it on your own?"
Gu Ruoxi stopped talking.
Can she say that she brought some genes from her previous life by traveling through time?
Obviously not, so just keep silent.
Gu Ruoxi was not happy when she thought about her mother's abilities.
That mother has been a cautious person all her life, so she will have to be very afraid if she wants to protect her secrets in the future.
Gu Ruoxi was afraid that she might mess things up accidentally, which would cause trouble.
Nangong Yu looked at Gu Ruoxi burying her face in the pillow:
"Don't worry, I have someone watching over there, and I won't let anything happen to my mother-in-law. Just don't let her go out for the time being. And don't let others go to see her. After a few days, she will get familiar with it, and everything will be fine."
Gu Ruoxi hummed randomly, but felt that this kind of comfort was of no use.
Now that Nangong Yu has been promoted, he has to attend court every day. In addition, the first fire of this promotion will be to burn those who embezzled disaster relief funds. So, early the next morning, Nangong Yu moved the legs that were pressing on him away, got up and put on his official uniform, called Jiuhuan in, and then Qingyi and Moyi came in to carry the person away.
Jiu Huan looked at the young lady who was still sleeping soundly and did not wake her up. He just lay on the table beside him and continued to sleep.
When the master and servant woke up, it was already daybreak.
Lord Changyong, who also attended the court, did come back, but Nangong Yu did not. He had to start working in the imperial study.
Because when the emperor asked those who were in charge of this year's disaster relief to report their situations, Nangong Xuan was busy.
When the emperor saw the reports from various families, he became furious.
He even said in front of everyone in the court that he had some knowledge of the situation, but no one believed him.
Now look at what is assigned to me, they are all things I have to deal with.
And these people are privately trying to get in touch with various places. Do they think they don’t know?
The atmosphere in the court was extremely tense. The emperor threw everything that was presented to him at them:
"These are what you submitted. Take a look, everyone. What kind of information is this? All the localities reported this to you? If it is true, I will arrest the officials from all over the country and ask them to explain these things. If they don't add up, then you will have to be more careful."
The emperor was furious, and everyone kneeling in the imperial study was trembling.
Only Nangong Yu was sitting there.
The emperor handed a bound booklet to Nangong Yu and said:
"Check the information above. These are the data I have received. Check everything from the time the relief money was distributed to the people. I don't believe that the relief money that is provided every year is really not enough. If the dike was well built, would we have to go through this every year?"
"You all think that the money in my treasury was blown by the wind? And you said it was for disaster relief, but where did it go? Whoever has it, please hand it over to me voluntarily. At most, I will demote you. But if anyone doesn't hand it over, I will investigate and it will not be as simple as a demolition."
"Today I will tell you the truth again. When I was still a prince, I started to investigate this matter thoroughly. At that time, I had a book of accounts for each of you. If you don't believe me, then I will tell you a few."
"Lord Lan, you have always believed that you are the most innocent minister in the Ministry of Personnel. Then let me ask you, what is the money your wife receives every month?"
"Master Zhang, you are the person in charge of the dikes in the Ministry of Works. Tell me, how much money did the workers on the dike earn? I clearly received 30 wen per person for two meals a day, but the workers only got 10 wen per meal. Where did the other 20 wen and one meal go? Who gave the power to make the people below do the same work and get the same pay?"
The emperor angrily scolded several people who knelt down and dared not move:
"Go back and think about it carefully. If you can figure it out, tell me how you got to be an official. If you can't figure it out, I have talents who have passed the imperial examinations. If you don't want to do it, get out! This court will be in turmoil without anyone."
Nangong Yu knew that the emperor intended to make an example of someone, so he ignored the looks of help from the adults.
"Master Nangong, please check these for me first. After you check them, I will handle them one by one."
