Chapter 392: Long Yan was furious
"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people said before that this batch of silver was obtained by the grass people by accident from a river thief. The family of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info grass people has been in business for generations, and in order to seek shelter from one party, they have a little friendship with some people in the rivers and lakes. And this thief is famous in the rivers and lakes, the legend is that the descendants of the thief, it is said that there is a pair of fiery eyes that can find out all the gold and silver treasures, the whereabouts are like the wind, and the people of the rivers and lakes are called the wind without extreme. No matter how deep you hide your money, if you are targeted by him, you will definitely be in the pocket. ”
At this time, Cen Feng also nodded thoughtfully: "This Feng Wuji minister has also heard of it, but unlike those ordinary thieves, he has never stolen the money of corrupt officials and businessmen, and often robbed the rich to help the poor and help the poor. ”
"What Cen Changsi said is right, so this person does exist, and the local governments have been helpless with him for many years, and it is not a deliberate fabrication by the grass people themselves. ”
Gu Hanqing said unhurriedly, and suddenly raised his head slowly to look directly at Emperor Zhou, his eyes suddenly tightened.
And it just so happened that the day before yesterday, the thief set his sights on the prince's courtyard in the western suburbs. ”
Even if Gu Hanqing didn't directly say where the long-missing official money came from, it seemed that everything had been named in these words.
It's just that in Gao Heng's opinion, whether it is the gangster with unique skills in his mouth, or the coincidence of staring at the prince's courtyard, all appeared too suddenly, and there are obviously traces of temporary deliberate arrangements.
After all, he had just interrogated Gu Chen's old ministry with Gu Hanqing last night, and he was obviously helpless and restless because he was powerless to fight against the crown prince.
In just half a day from receiving the whistleblower letter to Emperor Zhou's summons, it is impossible for such a smooth reversal to occur suddenly.
"The prince's courtyard in the western suburbs ......"
Emperor Zhou muttered these words in his mouth, and the whole person seemed to have lost his mind, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to suddenly deepen a little.
He had no intention of paying attention to these mixed things at the moment.
Even if there are still doubts about this matter, he knows in his heart that this old official and silver case, including Cheng Jinzhi's disappearance and the turmoil last night, the prince will not escape his involvement.
In addition, now that there are Chu people present, when the prince of the dynasty is immoral, it is clear that he is saying that he has no way to discipline.
This is not only a joke for outsiders, but also a slap in the face of him, the monarch of the Great Zhou.
"Gu Hanqing, don't you want to spew blood! In the courtyard of this palace, how can there be such filthy things!"
Just when the atmosphere was tense and heavy, I saw the prince shake off the support of the two palace maids and walked over violently. His face was as if he had been immersed in an ice cave, revealing a terrible and pale chill.
"Brother Huang, I thought that Imperial Doctor He would never be able to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep, so it seems that I guessed wrong. ”
Seeing that the prince finally couldn't bear it and chose to come forward to meet the enemy, Gao Heng raised his chin and glanced at him with a cold expression.
"Hmph, of course you want me to be unconscious, and it's better not to wake up for the rest of my life. In this way, you will take the position of prince of the main palace!"
The crown prince gritted his teeth and said, when his eyes came into contact with Emperor Zhou's angry but cold face, he was startled and hurriedly knelt down in front of him.
Then he shouted out in an extremely aggrieved and heavy tone in a long tone.
"Father, the son is wronged, the son is wronged!"
According to the prince's plan, he originally wanted to use the illusion of a coma to temporarily calm things down and buy himself some time.
But when he heard the words of Princess Yuan Xi and Yuan Peng in the inner hall, which were enough to make him anxious, especially when Gu Hanqing carried this box of disaster relief officials who came out of nowhere and always endangered his status as a prince to the main hall.
He knew that if he didn't come forward to fight for today's catastrophe, he would not be able to avoid it no matter what.
"You said you were wronged?"
Emperor Zhou's face twisted the corners of his eyebrows violently, and a mocking and chilling smile crossed his mouth.
It seems to be satirizing the prince's bluff and inability to refute, but it is more like laughing at his own stupidity that has been blinded by the prince's expiration of his term for many years.
"If you are wronged, the wound on your body is clearly not stabbed by Heng'er with a sword, why do you want to deceive Yu Me? And why does the hairpin of Cheng Jinzhi in Heng'er's hand match your wound so well? Just now, King Heng and Princess Yuanxi made it clear that the peace talks at Dufeng Pass three years ago were exchanged for 10,000 taels of gold! And this box of official silver ......"
Emperor Zhou pointed to the box of silver ingots in front of him, and when he said this, due to too much mood swings, he suddenly raised his hand to cover his chest, and his lips trembled.
Seeing this, the eunuch beside him hurriedly stepped forward to smooth his back, but his eyes were very anxious to look outside the hall, as if he was waiting for something.
After a long time, I saw Emperor Zhou adjust his emotions and take a heavy breath, only then did he raise his old eyes again, and his teeth were clenched.
"And this box of official silver, how can it be so coincidentally related to your other courtyard?"
"Father, this is clearly a trap carefully designed by someone, trying to force his sons to jump in!"
The prince leaned down and made a kowtow movement, and under his solemn and nervous expression, the corners of his eyes overflowed with a hint of fear.
Now Erchen can admit that the wound on Erchen's shoulder was indeed not injured by the third brother, but the third brother was angry that he wronged Erchen to take Cheng Jinzhi away and persecuted him many times, so he pierced it with the aw thorn on his body, wanting to win more sympathy from his father. However, in the peace talks three years ago, it was clear that the Chu people were afraid of my great Zhou Tianwei and voluntarily withdrew their troops and returned to the court.
The prince turned his head sideways as he spoke, glaring at Yuan Peng with resentment, his eyes full of questioning and hostility towards him.
In the eyes of the crown prince, even if Princess Yuan Xi told the truth first, Yuan Peng, as an alliance standing in the same boat as himself, should never make matters worse at this time.
"Princess Yuanxi is full of admiration for her third brother, how did she get this marriage, outsiders don't know, how can her father not be like a mirror? And King Heng, as her brother, will definitely help his sister as well. Relying on the one-sided words of these two Chu people alone, how could my father easily believe it? I can't say that the third brother had already colluded with these two brothers and sisters and wanted to plot against my Da Zhou!"
"Bastard, you dignified prince, you are so unscrupulous, do you know what you are talking about?"
When Emperor Zhou heard this, he flicked his sleeves, stood up, walked up to the crown prince, and stared at him with heavy eyes.
"Three years ago, you persuaded Nan Chu to withdraw his troops so easily, although I still had doubts in my heart, I still thought that you did have extraordinary talents, and it was not in vain that I entrusted this great Zhou country to you. But I didn't expect that you would not hesitate to sacrifice the face of me and Da Zhou, shamelessly live in the vulnerable, and seek temporary peace with heavy gifts. Moreover, it is also a life-saving treasure that I use to help the victims!"
Emperor Zhou scolded loudly, his chest breath rose and fell violently, and he raised a kick and kicked the prince to the ground, his eyes were already red.
"It's my fault, it's my blindness, that will let you inherit this Great Zhou Dynasty with such an evil obstacle!"
