Chapter 230: Continue digging a big hole
"Woo...... Mother ...... Royal Sister ...... I'm so pathetic...... Last time, I was deceived by Chen Xiao for 100,000 taels of silver, and today I was cheated by Chen Xiao for 100,000 taels ......"
When Chen Xiao heard this, he was anxious, and rushed in and said angrily: "When did Lao Tzu cheat you?" Lao Tzu said that you should stop donating, you have to donate, let you donate tens of thousands of yuan, you have to donate 100,000 taels, you blame me now? ”
In the room, the Seventh Prince, who was kneeling on the ground, cried very much when he heard this!
The Seventh Prince cried so sadly, knowing that he was cheated by Chen Xiao, but now he really ignored it.
This wronged him, and only crying could make him feel vented.
Concubine Yu had a sad face.
What could she do? gave birth to this kind of son, and she was also very helpless.
So, he could only look at the Seven Princes and said:
"Who called you stupid? Who called you...... Can't stand the stimulation of others? ”
After speaking, he sighed: "For the mother...... I am famous, why did I give birth to such a stupid son as you? ”
The Seventh Prince bowed his head and did not speak.
Chen Xiao saw this scene and sighed: "Forget it......"
After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, not planning to let Concubine Yu donate, after all, he also cheated them for 100,000 taels last time.
This time, the seven princes donated 100,000 taels, it is estimated that they have no choice, how can they let Concubine Yu donate?
But who knows, Concubine Yu frowned and said, "Wait a minute, what's the matter?" What do you mean. ”
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, turned around and said, "That...... I mean, I won't let you donate......"
"You look down on Hongu?" Concubine Yu glared at Chen Xiao angrily.
Chen Xiao was speechless, what kind of virtue is this? I thought to myself, with your impulsive energy, do you still suspect that the son you gave birth to is stupid?
He really thinks that Concubine Yu is not easy, and he doesn't plan to accept her donations, who knows, Concubine Yu has such a big reaction?
"Me...... I'm ...... Okay, you donate, let you donate okay? Chen Xiao was convinced.
"What do you mean by asking me to donate? Since it is His Majesty's intention, the donation of the harem concubines, you won't let me donate? Looking down on people? How much did they give? Concubine Yu said angrily.
Chen Xiao said: "So far, they have each donated 30,000 taels of silver......
Concubine Yu's face changed and she was silent.
Chen Xiao said sincerely: "Or...... Forget it......"
"Shut up, I've donated everything, why should I forget it? 30,000 taels, I'll donate, write it down for me! Concubine Yu said.
Chen Xiao rubbed his forehead: "This...... There's no need to ...... According to the conditions, you can do it for a few hundred taels! ”
"No, 30,000 taels, write it down!" Concubine Yu said.
Chen Xiao said to the Seventh Prince: "Hurry up and persuade!" ”
"Mother, we have no money...... the Seventh Prince said with a bitter face.
Concubine Yu said angrily: "What do you know about silly boy? Your mother and I entered the palace at the age of eighteen, how could I lose to her? Step by step, from hundreds of women, to fight for today's status, where is it inferior?
Today's matter, the other concubines all donated 30,000 yuan, my concubine, can you donate? A few hundred taels? A few thousand taels? That's insulting to me. My concubine is not weaker than her in her life, and she must be 30,000 taels. ”
After finishing speaking, she pointed to the eunuch: "Write it down!" ”
The eunuch hurriedly wrote it down, and Chen Xiao sighed helplessly: "Why bother? Why bother? Can't you calm down? Why are you so impulsive? ”
"This palace wants you to take care of it? Let me tell you Chen Xiao, the concubine and prince of my Zhuang Ning Pavilion, can you still make people look down? Concubine Yu drank a little out of shape.
Chen Xiao can't understand, woman, is so heavy?
There was no way, Chen Xiao could only take the book and leave Zhuang Ning Pavilion.
Next, with a depressed mood, I went to the remaining concubines.
A total of more than 200,000 yuan was raised, and tens of thousands of silver were added.
So, I took the book of the money raised and went to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the emperor was also very happy when he found out.
Seeing Chen Xiao's smile, the emperor said: "I'm very curious, the pot of the household department doesn't exist in the first place, what does it mean for you to admit it and carry the pot?" ”
"This ...... I'll pay some money, so that everyone can pay, and now the problem of money is not solved! Chen Xiao said.
The emperor said: "The disaster money is solved, what are you doing with your 500,000 taels?" ”
"This ...... The mountain people have their own tricks......" Chen Xiao smiled.
The emperor couldn't see through Chen Xiao's meaning, so he nodded: "The words have been said, money, you yourself have figured out a way no matter what, okay, go down!" ”
Chen Xiao nodded, left the book to raise donations, left the imperial study, and left the palace.
At this moment, the third prince had already gone to the Zongren Mansion.
After meeting Hu Zhaoyi, I told me about today's events.
"Chen Xiao is willing to take out 500,000 taels? Son, you're so good, let him bleed profusely. Hu Zhaoyi appreciated.
The third prince said: "It's not enough, the loss of his silver is not enough for me to relieve my anger, I have to find a way to trouble him." From now on, I'll keep an eye on him.
I don't believe that he can come up with 500,000 taels of silver, and I don't believe that he is willing to take so much silver, so I will definitely find him doing other things. If I find him, he will definitely die! ”
……
On the other side, Chen Xiao returned to Guozijian and was also planning.
It is impossible for him to give out these 500,000 taels of silver.
So, he thought it out from the beginning.
In fact, he was also trying to dig a big hole.
This big pit was dug for the three princes, and how to make the three princes jump in and continue to arrange it.
Of course, there is no hurry!
First of all, he knew that the third prince must be very concerned about his raising of 500,000 taels of silver.
If it can be determined that the three princes are very concerned about Chen Xiao's fundraising, then Chen Xiao can use it to deal with the three princes.
Thinking of this, he felt that he was still pretending to be very short of money, so as to make the third prince even more suspicious that Chen Xiao had no money.
So, Chen Xiao asked his subordinates to go to the homes of several familiar officials to borrow money.
Borrowing money is not really borrowing, and he knows that no one will lend it to him.
But it's just to pretend to borrow it and misunderstand.
Sure enough, the third prince did send someone to keep an eye on Chen Xiao, because he was sure that Chen Xiao had so much silver, and he wanted to know if Chen Xiao would find a way to embezzle.
After all, this place of Guozijian is full of children of officials, and it is very corrupt.
Therefore, when Chen Xiao asked the little official to borrow money, the third prince knew.
immediately sneered: "You really don't have any money, then I want to see where you got all this silver!" ”
So, he instructed his subordinates to keep an eye on Chen Xiao, and if he had any improper income and money sources, he would be notified immediately.
And Chen Xiao soon discovered that the people of the third prince were secretly observing him, and he knew that the fish began to eat bait.
Then the next step is to make the bait bigger and continue to let the big fish take the bait.
The reason for this is very simple, Chen Xiao promised to give 500,000, but he will not really let himself suffer.
Therefore, 500,000 yuan, he doesn't plan to give out, whoever eats his bait and falls for him will withdraw this money.
