Chapter 711: Don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night
Zhao Youde's words are interesting, the Zhao family is in charge of the ore, and he dares to sell the ore?
If you sell it, you will sell it, and you dare to sell the ore with the Zhao family's mark to others?
There were all old foxes present, and they vaguely felt that Master Zhao's words sounded wrong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Old man Liao didn't seem to hear the second half of Zhao Youde's sentence, and grabbed the first half of the sentence, "My lord, you also heard Master Zhao's words, and their Zhao family has never lost ore, so these ores are all ores lost by that caravan!" ”
Zhao Youde was in a hurry, didn't he just say that there was a steward in their family who secretly sold the ore, how could the contents of this box be the goods lost by their caravan?
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department seemed to hear Zhao Youde's heart, and the words he said almost made Zhao Youde cry with joy, "Lord Liao, even if the ore in this box has the mark of the Zhao family, what can it mean?"
Didn't you listen to what Master Zhao said, maybe these are the ores that their housekeeper secretly gave to others. ”
Old man Liao was not in a hurry or impatient, "My lord, even if the steward of the Zhao family really dares to sell the ore of the main family to others, it will not be sold for more than ten or twenty boxes, right?" ”
Well?
Hearing Old Man Liao's words, everyone's hearts sank, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department even asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"This kind of box, as far as I know, there are thirty-six boxes, and it is far from being as small as this box, at least one box can be loaded with this kind of stone five or six fast!"
Old man Liao turned his head to look at Zhou Tingyu and snorted coldly, "Did you say yes, His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”
The rest of the people looked at Zhou Tingyu with Old Man Liao's words, and saw that he was still holding his chin, and there seemed to be a hint of banter in his eyes, looking at Old Man Liao with a smile.
"Lord Liao, don't ask me, it's me who you participated in, if you have real evidence, you can take it out, do you still expect me to admit this crime of slandering me?"
Liao Lao beat his chest with a headache, "It's really the world is declining, Your Highness, how can you be worthy of Your Majesty's cultivation and the praise of the people for doing such a thing?" ”
Without waiting for Zhou Tingyu to sneer, Old Man Liao hugged his fists at Shangshu of the Criminal Department and said: "My lord, since the King of Chu refuses to admit the account, the lower official implores your Excellency to send someone to bring back the boxes I said, so that His Highness can die."
In the eastern part of the capital, there is a workshop called Baxi Treasure Pavilion. As far as I know, it was that workshop that was opening the batch of ore of the Zhao family for His Highness, and that batch of ore was a total of thirty-six boxes, and even the ore in this box was found from him. ”
Zhao Youde was in a cold sweat, and the more he listened, the more wrong he became.
The caravan to the border city was thirty-six carriages at that time, and each carriage was a box of ore, which was the right amount for Lord Liao, and the ore in the box still had the mark of the Zhao family, even if he wanted to say that these ores were secretly sold by the steward, it would be too fake.
Being able to sell all thirty-six boxes of ore, and being able to sell them to the King of Chu, is really big enough for this steward, and the Zhao family has not yet fallen, which is also a blessing.
Zhao Youde felt more and more that something was wrong in his heart, and in his anxiety, he saw that Shangshu of the Criminal Department sent someone to Dongcheng to find the workshop.
Then there was a wait of nearly an hour, because the time was too long, the imperial doctor also specially asked someone to move a few chairs for Old Man Liao and the other two courtiers to sit down, but Zhao Youde had no share.
Zhao Youde felt that this kind of waiting was like a blunt knife meat, which made people panic.
Zhou Tingyu looked like a scoundrel, leaning back on the chair and not walking properly.
The way he looks makes it hard to believe that he has anything to do with those forty-eight lives.
Zhou Tingyu was even so bored that he greeted Zhao Youde.
"Master Zhao, I see you sweating on your forehead, what's the matter, but you're flustered?"
Zhao Youde wiped his sleeve on his forehead and smiled reluctantly, "Back to Your Highness, the grass people are afraid of heat, and they will sweat night sweats if they are a little hot, it's too hot this day." ”
Everyone thought that Zhou Tingyu's conscience found out and cared about Zhao Youde, so they saw Zhou Tingyu sneering again, "It turns out that it's because it's too hot, that's why you sweat so much, I thought you were nervous, you did something bad, I'm afraid that someone will find out, it's all August day, isn't it autumn and refreshing?" ”
Fine beads of sweat also appeared in Zhao Youde's palms, and he didn't know how to answer Zhou Tingyu's words, but fortunately, the old man Liao, who had always been enthusiastic, came out to help him speak again.
"Your Highness, please don't use your power to oppress people, and don't use your identity to threaten and warn the common people, I know that you are worried about the real evidence brought back by those officials, but if you have done the wrong things, you must admit the mistakes you have made.
You must know that people are doing it, the sky is watching, and Skynet is magnificent and negligent, no matter how lucky you are in your heart, you can't escape justice.
Master Zhao, you don't have to be afraid, you haven't done anything bad, and you don't have to worry about the ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night. ”
Old man Liao first angrily reprimanded Zhou Tingyu, and then appeased Zhao Youde, but Zhao Youde was even more worried.
Old man Liao suddenly spoke up to Zhou Tingyu again, which made the others raise their hearts again, for fear that Zhou Tingyu would not give Old Man Liao face this time.
Sure enough, the hunch came true.
Zhou Tingyu slapped the armrest of the chair fiercely, "Lord Liao, I respect you for your old age and frailty, and for your conscientious work for the people.
I walk right, sit upright, only the ghost is afraid of me, and there is no one who is afraid of the ghost. You're right, people are doing it, the sky is watching, no one can escape the restoration of Skynet, so let's see who is afraid of ghosts! ”
This time, Old Man Liao didn't argue with Zhou Tingyu anymore, but sat on the chair angrily, blowing his beard and glaring.
Seeing that Old Man Liao was settled, Doctor Yu Shi sighed, he was really afraid that His Royal Highness would be unkind to Old Man Liao if he was annoyed and angry.
As Zhou Tingyu's maternal grandfather and one of the six cabinet ministers, Xia Qing has all the skills to observe words and looks, and he is also an old fox who eats meat and does not spit out bones.
He looked at his grandson's lazy appearance, and already believed that he had not done what Old Man Liao participated in.
He looked at Zhao Youde, the only one standing in the hall, and saw that beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead again, and he kept wiping sweat with his sleeves, and his eyes were half over.
With his experience in looking at people for so many years, Zhao Youde's every move shows that he is nervous.
Why is it too hot on a hot day, is it really an ornament to have ice basins in the four corners of the lobby?
Xia Qing pondered in his heart, and saw a number of officials rushing in outside, and these officials carried a large box in twos and placed in the hall, and there were only twelve of them.
After Zhao Youde counted that there were only twelve boxes, he was overjoyed.
