As he was talking, a eunuch outside hurriedly walked in and told the emperor that the heads of the Zheng and Wang families were also here, and they were in a hurry to see the emperor.

Seeing this, the emperor naturally immediately asked people to come in, and he was planning to use these two to make a benchmark for the other ones and set a standard!

However, what the emperor didn't expect was that as soon as the heads of the Zheng and Wang families came in, they knelt down directly towards him, and almost didn't cry on the spot.

As soon as the heads of the Zheng and Wang families opened their mouths, they said that the one million taels of silver they had managed to gather these days were gone, which broke the hearts of the two families into countless pieces.

You must know that it took a lot of effort for the two families to make up such a large amount of cash, but in the blink of an eye, so much money is gone, gone!!

When the emperor heard this, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly signaled the two of them not to panic first, and to talk about what happened.

After some explanation, the emperor knew what had happened.

It turned out that the Zheng family wanted to personally send the large amount of silver tickets into the palace early in the morning to complete this errand ahead of schedule, but they didn't expect that the big boxes that were still there last night would disappear early this morning!

The head of the Zheng family was almost stupid at that time, and he sent someone to copy the house and didn't find it, so he had no choice but to hurry into the palace to face the saint.

But the Wang family is even more clueless, a good one million taels was robbed in public by a group of people in the middle of being sent to the palace! Robbed!

The two families even want to die, not to mention that they have managed to make up the silver. What's more important is how they are going to hand over this errand to the emperor!

After hearing this, the emperor was also dumbfounded, and he couldn't even speak for a long time.

It's going to be a kung fu. The emperor was not sure whether the words of King Zheng and his family were true or false. If it is true, then what kind of person is so bold that he would be so purposeful and targeted to take such an opportunity to do something to the two families?

If it's fake, then have these two really been playing tricks on him?

Seeing the emperor's incredulous expression, the heads of the two families of King Zheng explained on the spot, swearing that what they said was true, and now they themselves are so anxious that they want to die. Please also ask the emperor to make the decision for them, find out the people who did the black hand as soon as possible, and find back the huge amount of money they worked hard to raise for the sacrifice!

"Oh my God. I didn't expect that not only those hard-hit areas were robbing and robbing, but I didn't expect that now these people even dare to run over to rob in the capital, it's too rampant! ”

King Meng took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, look. We're not mistaken. It's not that we don't want to pay for it, it's that there's really no way out. This matter really has to be investigated carefully to see if someone is deliberately making ghosts in secret, according to the minister's humble opinion, I am afraid that the matter is not simple! ”

"Yes, I thought that only one of us was in a situation, but now almost all of them have been calculated in the past few years, but the situation of each family is different. It seems that it is clearly deliberately someone secretly doing it, so that we can't raise money even if we want to break our heads! King Luo also immediately followed.

The head of the Zhang family is also not far behind. Then he echoed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also feels that it is clear that someone is deliberately sabotage, so that each of our families can not complete the holy order within the specified time, you see that even the Zheng and Wang families finally managed to eliminate all difficulties and dangers to make up enough money, but at the last moment they were clearly robbed by someone, this is not clear that they want our families to fail your orders, and want to harm our families?" ”

"Not only do you want to harm our family, in my opinion, I'm afraid that someone deliberately wants to use this incident to provoke the three kings and the four families and ...... The conflict with the emperor, such intentions are really terrible! ”

Han Feng looked suddenly enlightened and palpitating, and said in horror, as if talking to himself, as if he was really shocked into a cold sweat.

The emperor's heart couldn't help but start to waver.

At the beginning, he fully believed that the Meng, Luo, Zhang, and Han families were deliberately united to resist the decree, but now the Zheng and Wang families also had such an accident.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the Zheng and Wang families to lie, so there are only two possibilities left!

First, the four families of Meng, Luo, Zhang, and Han joined forces to calculate the Zheng and Wang families, so as to achieve a balance between them. If he can't come up with any money, even if he wants to take the opportunity to punish him, he can't really do it all at once because of this.

Second, not only the Zheng and Wang families, but also the entire Three Kings and Four Families were secretly calculated, although the specific situation of each family was different, but the final result was that each family could not take out the silver within the specified time limit, so that someone deliberately wanted to borrow his hand to punish the Three Kings and Four Families, in order to achieve other purposes that are not known for the time being.

Now it seems that there are both possibilities, it is difficult to say what the absolute situation is, and the expressions of several of them do not seem to be lying, but it really makes him feel as if someone is secretly deliberately taking this opportunity to stir up trouble, so if it is not for the remaining few who are secretly making trouble, who could it be?

The emperor was angry and annoyed in his heart, no matter what the situation was, in short, it was impossible for him to target them because the families could not hand over the required money! In this way, what has been planned for so long can only be calculated in vain.

was already so angry that he couldn't do it, but the people of the three kings and four families, including the Zheng and Wang families, were all crying and begging him to make the decision for them, begging him to find out the truth for them, and give them justice, which was really annoying but had to endure it.

Before he figured out the truth, he couldn't go to anyone for no reason, so he had to change his previous strong attitude towards Meng, Luo, Zhang, and Han, and temporarily put his words back.

I will definitely find out about this matter and see who is behind the trouble!

Listening to the noisy noise, it really gave me a headache, so I simply waved my hand and asked everyone to retreat first. As for the matter of a million taels, there is no way but to get it, at least until everything is ascertained, it is impossible for him to force the families to take out so much more silver.

As soon as everyone left, the emperor immediately summoned his henchmen to order all his efforts to investigate the matter, but before the person who received the order could receive the order, other palace people rushed in in a hurry.

The palace people whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and the more the emperor listened, the darker his face became, but in the end, he was so angry that he slapped his hand on the table, and scolded him: "This rebel, I can't spare him!" ”

The people in the palace were immediately frightened and fell to their knees, no one knew why the emperor was so angry, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

"Someone, call the prince over immediately!" The emperor was so angry that he stood up while shouting loudly, almost missing a breath, and almost fainted when he staggered.

Fortunately, the palace people on the side were quick and helped the emperor.

Everyone was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly ordered someone to pass on the imperial doctor, and for a while, the palace was chaotic, and people felt that the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

However, these things are no longer related to the affairs of the Meng, Luo, Zhang, and Han families, and after coming down from the palace, they went directly out of the palace together, and they did not deal with the Zheng and Wang families from beginning to end.

And the heads of the Zheng and Wang families all looked unlucky, and they didn't dare to come forward to greet the four of them when they were far behind.

"Brother Zheng, do you think the silver of our two families will be pitted by several of them?" The head of the Wang family whispered to the head of the Zhang family, although he had such suspicions in the main hall before, he did not say it to the emperor in public.

They don't have the bottom in their hearts about this kind of thing, and they don't have the slightest evidence, although they have discussed with them how not to pay this million taels before, but it is not enough to say that these four did it.

Second, the people of the four families were all in the palace at that time, if he directly expressed his doubts like this, I am afraid that he would be scolded to death by the people of the four families before the emperor could speak, and since then the big beams of these families have really ended!

Although they chose to lean towards the emperor's side, they didn't want to really get enmity with the other four families, at least they knew in their hearts what the strength of the other families was, and it would not be difficult at all to really join forces to kill them.

Hearing this, the head of the Zheng family first thought for a moment very seriously, and then shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it shouldn't be them." Even if they had the guts, they didn't dare to really do it, after all, when something like this happened, their suspicion was too obvious. ”

"If it's not them, who stole our two families' silver?" The head of the Wang family sighed and said: "I knew that this would be the case, I might as well be as lazy as a few of them to raise this money, but now it's okay, the silver is flying, and the emperor hasn't made any good money, what kind of crime are we suffering!" ”

The head of the Zheng family will not be much better than the head of the Wang family, and the feeling of digging into the heart and cutting the flesh is really not something that anyone can experience.

"Haven't you heard, a few days ago, the prince secretly sent people to woo the Luo, Meng, Zhang, and Han families, but they didn't have any contact with our two families! What does this mean? It shows that the prince knows that our two families are already inclined to the emperor's side, so he doesn't have any hope for us anymore. ”

The head of the Zheng family had a solemn expression and continued: "Moreover, I also heard that the four families of Luo, Meng, Zhang, and Han did not simply agree to the prince's wooing, so if the prince wants to get the support of the four of them, the forces have to do something!" That's it, no matter what, we don't have to speculate for the time being, the emperor will definitely find out as soon as possible! (To be continued......)
