As expected, a despicable person had to be dealt with by a despicable person. To deal with this kind of shameless jackal, one had to be an experienced old fox. Ning Shu raised her head to look at the dazzling yellow light hidden on the city gate tower. Her lips curled. Calculating it, the time had come!
"Enough!"
Sure enough, when both sides had their own opinions and were arguing fiercely, the situation was becoming more and more chaotic and out of control. Empress Cao, who had been hiding behind the scenes, had her expression change when she heard the palace maid's report.
"What did you say?! That evil creature dared to take advantage of this consort's absence to bring people into the inner palace to steal His Majesty? How bold of him! " She roared as she looked at the mess below the city gate tower. Her sharp nails dug into the vermillion railings, almost snapping off her jewel-studded nails. She finally couldn't hold back her anger and roared.
"This consort said, enough! This consort just watched this entire trial from the city gate tower. You have both witnesses and evidence. This consort will believe that Zhao Mingzhen was framed. Just by relying on a fake account book that no one knows who instigated, you want to push the suspicion onto the Imperial Uncle? Even if you flip through all of the legal records, there's no case of such a hasty conviction. Unless you bring out the real account book, today's farce will end here. There are many suspicious points in Zhao Mingzhen's case. Postpone the investigation. This consort guarantees that the wronged Official Zhao will be cleared! Everyone at the Meridian Gate is to immediately disperse. If anyone dares to stay and talk nonsense, this consort will punish them for serious crimes. "
Seeing that Empress Cao was impatient and wanted to cover up this matter, Ning Shu sneered in her heart. It seemed that the impatient Fourth Prince had taken action. That's right. Who would easily let go of such a great opportunity? Every prince that coveted that throne had a giant beast that could swallow everything in their hearts.
Empress, you want to leave now? It's too late!
You want to cover up this matter in a hurry and find a scapegoat to take all of the blame for the Cao Family. Everything will be over and the Cao Family will be able to sit back and relax. This is truly a good plan. However, you're underestimating all of us here. Since we've decided to carry out this plan today, we must play this show to the end!
Ning Shu said in a clear voice, "Empress, please wait! We do not know where the real account book is, but there is one thing that we do know where it is. "
Empress Cao's patience had reached its limit. She couldn't wait to cut Ning Shu into pieces. "What else do you want to say?"
Ning Shu's eyes seemed to be burning with a raging fire. At this moment, she had no fear, only the persistence to pursue the truth. "That is the other one hundred thousand taels of fake silver that disappeared back then!"
"Before my master died, he taught me a principle — anything that has existed in this world will leave behind traces. Two hundred thousand taels of silver was equivalent to twenty thousand catties of weight. Even if they wanted to carry it out and throw it away, it would be equivalent to the weight of a hundred living people. Half of it was later found under Lord Zhao's bed, while the other half was still missing. Back then, Prime Minister Tan had led people to search the government offices and residences no less than ten times, but they still couldn't find any trace of it. They even drained all of the water in the pond and dug up every inch of the ground, but they still couldn't find a single clue. This subject has always thought, was my master wrong? Was there really a way to hide everything in this world? It wasn't until two days ago that this subject experienced a smokescreen and suddenly realized that perhaps the missing one hundred thousand taels of silver had never left. "
Without waiting for Ning Shu to finish speaking, someone impatiently said, "Where is it? Quickly say it! "
This kind of secret that had been hidden for ten years, other than the person who set it up, who knew how many times had been curious. There had even been people who had snuck in from far away, hoping to find a trace of it. Even if there were ten or a hundred taels of silver, it would be enough for a person to live a life without worry. Moreover, there was such a big secret involved.
"It's in the wall of the treasury."
