Everyone looked at the half-human-high floor-to-ceiling blue and white porcelain vase in unison, thinking that it was worth at most two or three hundred taels of silver.

But as soon as the prince spoke, it was a time of national crisis, and they each took at least five hundred taels!

If you take too much, you will be questioned by other officials for accepting bribes, after all, the monthly money is there.

Take less...... The crown prince will definitely be upset .......

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be a bird.

The crown prince glanced at the five princes with a cold face on the lower right, and his eyes shifted to the body of the first Jingrong in the lower left.

Jing Rong's eyes looked at him coldly.

The prince withdrew his gaze and took out a few silver tickets from his cuffs. "Prince Ben took the lead in donating three thousand taels. ”

Gonggong Wen immediately stepped forward and took it with both hands, and read it out loud: "The prince donated three thousand taels of silver." Then the little eunuch Xiao Lizi on the side immediately wrote hard.

The crown prince's eyes instantly fell on the body of the fifth prince. "Fifth Emperor Brother. ”

The fifth prince raised his head and looked at him, squinted his eyes and said with a slightly gloomy smile: "Big brother, the younger brother didn't bring any silver when he went out today. ”

The prince smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, report the number, and the prince will immediately send someone to your mansion to fetch it." ”

The Fifth Prince: "...... The eldest brother is really thoughtful. He turned his head to look at Gonggong Wen. "Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels. ”

Gonggong Wen: "......" This is a deliberate provocation to the prince! Looking at Xiao Lizi, who was keeping the account below, he signaled him to leave it alone and write it down quickly.

The crown prince really half-squinted at the fifth prince's gaze gradually moved down, landed on his left hand wrapped in gauze, and asked with a look of concern: "The fifth brother injured his hand, I'm afraid it's not enough to leave a tael of silver to see the injury?" Why didn't Situ Yanfei abolish him with a knife!

The Fifth Prince: "...... Thank you for your concern, the younger brother's hand is no longer in trouble. ”

The crown prince and the five princes took the lead in donating, and the other ministers had a number in their hearts, and they all tearfully reported the number of about seven or eight hundred.

Some generals have shabby family backgrounds, and they can only report one or two hundred taels of silver, which is already the limit.

The fifth prince kept staring at Jing Rong, and when he saw that he didn't report the account, he stared at him and asked, "How much silver are you going to give?"

Jing Rong's eyes were cold. "No more, no less, twenty thousand taels. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar!

An ordinary person's annual income is only three or four taels.

Like those who are officials, the lack of oil and water plus accepting bribes is only one or two thousand pieces of silver a year, but they are corrupt officials who are known to the world!

Jing Rong's shot turned out to be 20,000 taels!

The fifth prince immediately questioned Jing Rong: "Twenty thousand taels? Didn't he secretly withhold a lot of property when he was ordered to raid his house?"

Now that he dares to expose his wealth in a righteous and bright way, he has betrayed him, so naturally he can't let go of the other party easily!

Naturally, you will be caught!

Some ministers echoed the doubts.

When the officials of the prime minister's faction were pulled off the horse, the person in charge of raiding the house was not Jing Rong!

The people of the Five Princes' faction seemed to have immediately caught the evidence, and they all accused Jing Rong of having an unknown source of money.

There were even two officials kneeling down in front of the court under the hinted eyes of the five princes, asking the prince to thoroughly investigate the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department!

Jing Rong was obviously in the whirlpool of danger, but his demeanor was calm. He smiled at the officials who questioned him.

The strange smile made everyone shudder, and they all looked at the crown prince on the throne, waiting for him to make a decision.

The people who supported the prince's faction watched coldly, and they also wished that Jingrong was unlucky.

Because only when Jingrong is unlucky, they can have a bright future, and the prince can see them!

The prince looked at Jing Rong, suggesting that he would defend himself.

Jing Rong turned sideways to face the people of the Five Princes' faction. "Does anyone know how much Baiwei Zhai has received in January?"

An official hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said to the prince: "Xiaguan was greedy and went to Baiwei Zhai for lunch, and spent more than 20 taels of silver. So far, I don't dare to set foot in it. "A meal cost him a month!

But he ate so happily...... He still wants to go!

But it's too expensive! He can't afford ......!

The prince nodded and said: "This prince has also been to Baiwei Zhai, and after using it, people can't stop thinking about it day and night, and it is no exaggeration to make money every day." He looked at the five princes with pensive eyes. "My father also wanted the chef of Baiwei Zhai to enter the palace to take charge of the imperial dining room, but the other party liked freedom and did not want to enter the palace, and my father loved his name like a son and let him go freely. ”

The actual situation is that the other party is only willing to enter the palace occasionally to cook some food for the emperor and the queen mother, and even the queen is not qualified to enjoy it.

The fifth prince noticed the crown prince's gaze, raised his head to look at him, and turned his head to look at Jing Rong. "Could it be that Baiwei Zhai is an industry under your name?"

Jing Rong bowed slightly. "The Son inherits the Father's business. ”

The foodies mixed in with some officials immediately looked at the scene with green eyes.

Baiwei Zhai turned out to be an industry under his name, so can they make him cheaper when they eat it in the future?!

Jing Rong ignored the wolf-like eyes of some people and continued: "In addition to Baiwei Zhai, I usually do some small business to the sea. The careless cold eyes swept over the five princes, as if they suddenly remembered something.

"Oh yes, the gadgets that the five princes used to curry favor with the queen mother and the harem ladies in the past were brought back from overseas. ”

This statement shocked the four seats!

The eyes of contempt fell on the five princes one after another.

Because the five princes often take out some strange things that others don't have to please the emperor and the queen mother.

I heard that a clear mirror attracted the queen mother as a baby, and later rewarded it to the queen, which caused the harem ladies to go crazy with jealousy.

At that time, everyone thought that it was a rare thing that the five princes had bought from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and they were envious, jealous and hateful.

It turned out that he took Jingrong's things for himself and invited merit to be rewarded!

But Jing Rong has never revealed the slightest tone over the years!

Even if he fell out with the five princes, he never mentioned it.

If it weren't for the fact that the five princes in the court deliberately targeted Jing Rong today, I am afraid that this matter would continue to be hidden!

The five princes are really cocooned and self-reaping the consequences!

The Fifth Prince: "......" framed Jing Rong instead of doing so, but was exposed to the ugly thing!

The prince's slightly surprised eyes roamed back and forth between Jingrong and the five princes.

Jing Rong was so loyal to the Fifth Emperor Brother before, he didn't count his advice, and he also tried his financial resources to help him.

Such a heartfelt person, the Fifth Emperor Brother, actually lost it, and now he turned to help him.

Look, the faces of the five emperors' brothers have changed.

Coughed twice deliberately, causing the noisy hall to be quiet in an instant. "Who else hasn't donated? ”

After a few breaths, no one came forward.

The crown prince announced on the spot: "In this case, the blue and white cloud dragon pattern bottle on the ground belongs to Jing Rong, can anyone have any objections?" His eyes deliberately fell on the body of the fifth prince.

Everyone: 20,000 taels of ordinary people can't spend it in a few lifetimes! Who will have any objection to a useless bottle that can't be eaten, can't be used, and can only be seen?!
