Chapter 107: Blackmail
By the time Duan Wang Ye hurried to the conference hall one step at a time, Grandpa Mu was already sitting on a chair drinking tea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing him coming, Gonggong Mu didn't blink his eyelids, and sat there immovable, drinking Biluochun in the cup one by one, without the slightest intention of getting up and saluting.
At a glance, seeing that Gonggong Mu was wearing homely clothes instead of palace clothes, Duan Wangye's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
If he didn't wear palace clothes, it means that he didn't come from the palace, he didn't come to announce the decree or pass the word, he came for personal matters.
The father-in-law who serves the emperor closely, the official is low and powerful, and if he is forced to do so, he generally cannot be offended.
Although he was annoyed by Grandpa Mu's arrogant behavior of disrespect, Duanwang still stepped in with a smile on his face, and after sitting down on the throne, he asked, "Grandpa Mu came here early in the morning, but what happened?"
Gonggong Mu didn't gossip much with Duan Wangye, glanced at the subordinates who were waiting in the hall, and said in a sharp voice: "The miscellaneous family naturally has something important to say to the prince, and please ask the prince to retreat." "It's kind of arrogant.
Duan Wangye's anger suddenly became a little thicker.
Although he said that he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what important thing he could do was just to ask for some silver.
Although I thought so in my heart, I still relied on the words of Grandpa Mu.
After the people in the hall retreated, Duan Wang Ye said, "What does my father-in-law have to say to this king?"
Only then did Gonggong Mu slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, raised Erlang's legs with his orchid fingers, leaned back, and said in a long voice: "The miscellaneous family is here to talk about a deal with the prince." ”
Duan Wangye's heart was suspicious, and he said quietly: "Father-in-law is afraid that he has found the wrong person, as a child of the royal family, this king has never done business." ”
When Gonggong Mu heard this, he immediately covered his mouth and let out a burst of laughter, the sharp and shriveled laughter was terrifying, and Duan Wang Ye couldn't help but have goosebumps on his body.
After Father-in-law Mu finished laughing, he said: "The prince said that he laughed, the deal that the miscellaneous family wants to be greedy for with the prince is not a business like a street shop, and the miscellaneous family is here to protect the life of the prince and the glory of the family." ”
When Duan Wang Ye heard this, he immediately thought of his lost secret letters, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Gonggong Mu quietly, and said: "When did this king's life fall into the hands of his father-in-law? ”
When Gonggong Mu heard this, his face was full of hesitation, Erlang's legs shook, and he said: "The prince lost something, and it happened to fall into the hands of the miscellaneous family, does the prince think that this business can be done or can't be done?" As he spoke, Gonggong Mu's eyes flashed with greed as he looked at Duan Wangye.
Obviously frightened in his heart, Duan Wang Ye still pretended to be calm and said: "This king lost something and was taken by Mu Gonggong, this king was confused, he didn't know that this king had such a thing missing." ”
Father-in-law Mu didn't say much, but directly pulled out a tightly wrapped stack of rice paper from his chest, shook his hand, and said, "The prince is not a stranger!"
Duan Wang Ye recognized at a glance that what Gonggong Mu was holding in his hand was indeed what he was looking for painstakingly, and he immediately stopped hiding it, changed his face and said: "How can my father-in-law have this king's things, and who gave them to my father-in-law?"
As he spoke, Duan's eyes were already full of murderous intentions, but unfortunately, Gonggong Mu's attention was on his own mind and he didn't notice it.
"The prince is slow, this business is to be talked about slowly one by one, the prince must not be in a hurry. Saying that, Father-in-law Mu swaggered and put the secret letter in his hand on the table at will, took a teacup and took another sip before saying slowly: "This first case, let's talk about redeeming this secret letter first, how much does the prince plan to withdraw the money?"
White skin and tender meat, a pair of narrow eyes full of greed.
Duan Wang Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, glanced at the secret letter on the table, collected the murderous aura in his eyes, and said in an easy-going tone: "But according to the meaning of the father-in-law." ”
Father-in-law Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed loudly, "The prince is really cheerful, and the miscellaneous family is not embarrassed by the prince, what does the prince feel about this number?" As he spoke, the father-in-law stretched out his thin white fingers and compared a five in mid-air.
A look of disgust flashed in Duanwangye's eyes, and he said, "Five thousand taels?"
Grandpa Mu shook his head with a smile, "Five gold bricks." There was no trace of any respect that a slave should have for a prince, but put on a high-minded appearance.
Duan Wangye's hand on the armrest was suddenly clenched into a fist, but his face was peaceful, "It's up to you!"
Gonggong Mu immediately smiled and said: "Yo, the prince deserves to be so happy, but the miscellaneous family's heart is shaken, could it be that the miscellaneous family wants less? ”
After that, Gonggong Mu rolled his eyes carefully, and said with a smile: "Next, this second transaction, the miscellaneous family told the prince where this secret letter came from, and the prince allowed the miscellaneous family five gold bricks, how about it?"
Duan Wang Ye held back a breath of evil breath in his chest, tried his best to control his temper, and said, "My father-in-law said yes." ”
Gonggong Mu nodded and agreed, and immediately said in a soft voice and with a smile: "It's His Royal Highness the Second Prince." As early as five or six days ago, when His Royal Highness the Second Prince entered the palace to face the saint, he personally handed the secret letter to the emperor. ”
"It's just that at that time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince had just handed over the secret letter, and several adults from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry came at the request of the Emperor, and the Emperor had important matters to discuss with them, so he sent His Royal Highness the Second Prince to let him go back temporarily. ”
"By the time the emperor finished discussing with a few adults, more than half a day had passed, and the emperor was tired and had long forgotten about His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but the miscellaneous family's eyes were bright, and they saw at a glance that there was actually the name of the prince on the secret letter, and even if the emperor took a break, he quietly hid this secret letter in his sleeve. ”
"In the final analysis, it is still the prince that you are deeply blessed, if those adults arrived one step late at that time, the emperor would also unfold this secret letter and read it. As he spoke, Father-in-law Mu sighed twice, looking at Duan Wangye with a sigh on his face, "If that's the case, how can there be a chance for the miscellaneous family to sit here and talk to you today." ”
Duan Wang Ye listened to Gonggong Mu's words, and his heart was as shocked as a huge wave, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
He never thought that it would be Xiao Duo! It was Xiao Duo who stole his secret letter, and he really looked down on the eight cubs of the king!
Thanks to his deep blessings, when he thought of what happened, Duan Wangye's heart was scared......
"The emperor really didn't see this secret letter at a glance?" asked Duan Wang Ye uneasily.
Mu Gonggong said firmly: "Of course not." The content of this secret letter is the most clear, if the emperor reads it, even if he only looks at it for half a glance, what will the result be, the prince doesn't know!"
Listening to Gonggong Mu's words, Duan's heart, which had been hanging for several days, finally settled down, with a grim smile on his lips, Duanwang got up and said, "Father-in-law, wait a minute, this king will let the housekeeper go and get the gold bricks." ”
