The Master of the Prefecture [9]

“Going over the lines? Well, the father can go out and make some inquiries. Which family in the capital has not search the rooms before? I was just punishing a little to prevent a bigger mistake. Compared to other families, this is still called going over the lines?”

Huang Bei Yue directly walked out. She walked to the door and raised her fingers, saying: “What are you standing here for? Quickly help the housekeeper Zhou up!”

A couple of stunned servants, as soon as they heard Huang Bei Yue’s orders, they subconsciously followed the commands. They walked over and pulled housekeeper Zhou up who was holding tightly onto the boxes as though an octopus.

Dong Ling opened the cover of the box. At that moment, golden-bright lights assaulted people’s faces. In there, there was actually a whole box of golden treasures! There were many different kinds of delicate items and on the top, it was embedded with different colored gems. That type of light nearly blinded one’s eyes.

The housekeeper, all of a sudden was like a balloon that had air leaking out. He fell limp on the ground.

Dong Ling consecutively opened the other boxes. Each time she opened one, the surrounding people will all let out a cold gasp. In these boxes, it contained all valuable golden and silver wares. There were also antiques, paintings, jade artifacts, coral, pearls, etc. They were a dazzling sight to the eyes leading it to be a feast for the eyes.

Huang Bei Yue stared at the housekeeper Zhou who seemed to be flattened. In her heart, she was cheering for herself for catching him! She just wanted to open her mouth to let people beat him up with sticks and force him to say who was the person that made him hide all these items is.

He was just a small housekeeper. Even if he had a lot of courage, he definitely would not dare to steal that many items from the prefecture of Princess Zhang. Does he take those brilliant concubines to be blind people?

She hadn’t opened her mouth when Xiao Yuan Cheng had already done so, screeched at him: “What a great servant for lying to your superiors and hiding it from your kind. You dared to secretly store all these valuables. Do you know what crime you’re committing right now?”

Xiao Yuan Cheng walked out, kicking the housekeeper Zhou over. If there was a sword in his hand, he probably would’ve killed him with a sword already!

Housekeeper Zhou answered, scaredly: “This person understands that he is wrong, understands that he is wrong. These things, this person didn’t secretly store them. I was, trying to place them and then carry them into the storage room!”

“If it was supposed to be carried into the storage room, then how come you wouldn’t let us search it before?” Dong Ling wasn’t that easy to be lied to. She immediately inquired.

Housekeeper Zhou responded: “It’s because this person is afraid, is afraid that this person will be accused by the Princess…”

“Nonsense! The Princess can distinguish the right from the wrong! How could she accuse wrongly of you! I see that you are probably just lying to us!” Dong Ling yelled, raising her hand. At this time, she was not afraid of that Xiao Yuan Cheng.

“Lord, secretly storing these valuables is a serious crime. Based on this maid’s views, he should be sent to Ting Wei Si for them to investigate this.”

Ting Wei Si, if he was sent to Ting Wei Si, then what good would that be! That Ting Wei Geng was famous for being upright and plainspoken. If he were to investigate this, then the whole prefecture of Princess Zhang will be under investigation. Then at that time, no one would be able to escape!

“Family shames must not be spread abroad. If this matter were to be revealed, there will be many people watching a joke! Why send him to Ting Wei Si?” Xiao Yuan Cheng lowly hollered.

“Father is saying the right thing.” Huang Bei Yue looked at the boxes filled with treasures and her face was icy cold: “Housekeeper Zhou, my mother, when she was still alive, she treated you not badly. What you had done today, really opened lens to a new world ah!”

“Princess, Princess, show some mercy ah…” Housekeeper Zhou kneeled on the ground. He was shaking and kept on asking for mercy.

Huang Bei Yue responded: “If I were to send you to Ting Wei Si, based on your crimes, not only will you die but your wives and children will all be on the book of servants. In the master’s house, stealing, the faces will be marked with the stamp of a servant. This whole life, you won’t have a day where you will be free!”

Housekeeper Zhou kept on trembling and the teeth were chattering. He secretly raised his head towards Xiao Yuan Cheng and Concubine Qin. These precious treasures, he won’t be able to obtain any of them. However, he was doing this for the Lord and Concubine Qin. If something were to happen to him, they probably won’t let him just take on the crime names himself right?
