It seemed that someone had been keeping track of their every move.
The private advisor handed the account book to Zhang Qing and said, "Official Zhang, take a look for yourself. According to this account book, this wealthy merchant did bribe you with fifty thousand taels of silver.
However, he gave it to your concubine, Rong Niang.
You are so shrewd, so of course you wouldn't accept the bribe personally. That's why you had your concubine accept the bribe. No matter if it was you or Rong Niang who accepted the bribe, you can't escape responsibility! Therefore, you can't leave yet! "
"Rong Niang?"
When Zhang Qing heard this, his body trembled.
This Rong Niang was usually a bit greedy. She couldn't have accepted a bribe behind his back, right?
When he thought of this, he hurriedly shook his head. "No, when this official was at home, I often exhorted them and told them not to accept other people's money and belongings.
Rong Niang definitely wouldn't do such a thing. Someone must be trying to frame this official, so they set up one trap after another to frame this official. "
Chu Xuanchen hurriedly supported Zhang Qing and said in a low voice, "Official, please calm down. If someone else tries to frame you, don't worry, Wang will definitely clear your name and find the person behind this!"
Zhang Qing quickly grasped Chu Xuanchen's hand, "Your Highness, please believe this official. This official really didn't accept a bribe, nor did I instruct my family to do so.
Ever since this official became an official, this official has always been magnanimous and honest.
This official dares to guarantee with his life that this official definitely didn't accept any bribes. This official has been wrongly accused! "
"Wang knows. Wang believes you!"
Chu Xuanchen comforted him.
Zhang Qing sighed, "This official dares to guarantee that I didn't embezzle a single copper coin, but that Rong Niang … sigh …"
Speaking of this, his face was heavy. Could it be that Rong Niang had really accepted someone else's bribe and framed him?
At this time, Prince Xian had already swept a cold glance over the yamen runners, "If we want conclusive evidence, we need both witnesses and material evidence. Regardless of whether Official Zhang accepted a bribe or not, Wang must send people to search the Zhang Estate.
Private advisor, quickly bring two teams of yamen runners to search the Zhang Estate! "
"Yes, Your Highness."
After receiving the order, the advisor handed the account book to Prince Xian, and then led the officials straight to the Zhang Mansion.
During this time, Zhang Qing's face was ashen, and his heart overflowed with a bad premonition. Chu Xuanchen sat coldly in the gallery, drinking tea.
His jade-like hands gently picked up the teacup. His entire body emitted a cold aura that kept people away, making him seem unfathomable.
Suddenly, he looked at Prince Xian. "Third Brother, can you show that account book to Wang?"
"Royal Brother, please."
Prince Xian handed the account book to Chu Xuanchen.
Chu Xuanchen took it and looked at it. Other than Zhang Qing's name, there were many other names.
Among these names, there were a few familiar names. They were all his people!
Chu Xuanchen's eyes turned cold as he thought of Zhang Qing's misfortune and the names in the account book.
If someone told him that this wasn't a plot to suppress him, he wouldn't believe it!
。
After waiting anxiously for two hours, private advisor Zhang Xi's voice finally came from outside. "Your Highness, we found it!"
"What did you find?"
Prince Xian immediately asked.
Zhang Xi immediately led a team of yamen runners in carrying bags. Behind him, there was a middle-aged woman in her thirties.
Zhang Qing looked up and exclaimed, "Rong Niang, why are you here?
What, what's going on? "
When Rong Niang saw Zhang Qing, she hurriedly threw herself at him. "Master, the yamen runners suspected that I accepted a bribe, so they searched my room.
I didn't expect that they would find fifty thousand taels of banknotes in a secret compartment under my bed.
These aren't my banknotes. I didn't accept a bribe at all. You have to believe me. "
