Chen Xiao really earned this time!

not only cheated the three princes of 500,000 taels of silver tickets, but also didn't pay a penny, so he had a reputation for donating 500,000 taels of silver tickets.

This made him feel very good, and he even wanted to go to the third prince and thank him in person!

After returning to the restaurant, Chen Xiao asked the fat man to instruct the back kitchen, prepare a table of wine and food, and prepare it in the box, and have a drink with the fat man, Qi Mo and Bai Qingqing.

It's just that after everything was ready, Xiao Er said that there was a guest in the box, who was the middle-aged man who hadn't come for a long time.

When Chen Xiao heard this, he thought to himself, who else could there be?

That must be the emperor!

So, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly arrived at the box, and who was the commander of the Praetorian Guard standing outside?

Entering the box, the emperor was dressed in regular clothes and was drinking.

Seeing Chen Xiao coming, he beckoned: "Come, have a few drinks!" ”

Chen Xiao walked over, pursed his lips and said, "You are here for your third son, looking for a place to fight unevenly, right?" ”

The emperor drank a glass of wine and said disdainfully: "Look, what kind of person do I look like? ”

Chen Xiao thought for a while: "It's hard to say! ”

The emperor rolled his eyes: "I'm not so stingy, besides, if you don't admit this matter, who can do anything to you?" ”

Chen Xiao smiled: "I knew I couldn't fool you......"

The emperor took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm curious, what the hell are you ...... How? ”

Chen Xiao said: "I said, doesn't it prove that this is the bureau I set up?" Your Majesty, you are insidious! ”

The Emperor said solemnly, "I swear, I am just just curious, you tell me!" ”

Chen Xiao shook his head: "No, I didn't do anything!" ”

The emperor was speechless and said, "Forget it, don't talk about pulling down, come, I haven't drunk for a long time, drink with me." ”

Chen Xiao thought to himself, drunk the emperor today, and asked him what he was thinking, whether he wanted to marry Long Jiuling to himself......

So, he stepped forward very enthusiastically and kept toasting the emperor.

After a few times, the emperor soon got drunk and began to squint his eyes, chatting with Chen Xiao without a match.

"Your Majesty......"

"En......"

"I drank too much and didn't ......"

"I didn't ...... There is no ...... "The emperor's tongue is big.

Chen Xiao smiled:

"Your Majesty, when do you want Jiu'er to get married?"

Emperor: "En~Don't worry...... No rush ......"

"How can you not be in a hurry? What do you think? Who do you want to marry Jiu'er? Chen Xiao couldn't wait to ask.

Who knew that the emperor was just with a big tongue and vague, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

This Chen Xiao is in a hurry, but there is no way to do it!

Seeing that he really couldn't ask anything, Chen left the box angrily.

It was already afternoon at the moment, and Chen Xiao also drank a lot of wine, so he went back to the house to take a nap.

He didn't wake up until night, and when he woke up, the emperor had already left.

So I got up, had a good meal with the fat man, and went back to sleep.

At this moment, Zongren's Mansion!

After the third prince saw Hu Zhaoyi, he told Hu Zhaoyi about the matter, and Hu Zhaoyi stopped, and he was angry.

This time, not only did he not take Chen Xiao seriously, but he also had to take 500,000 taels of silver for Chen Xiao......

When Hu Zhaoyi thought of this, her heart ached.

The third prince was also helpless, and said, "Mother, I only have more than 100,000 silver......

"I only have about 100,000 taels, and when you add it up, it's still so much short...... What can I do about this...... "Hu Zhaoyi is desperate!

"It's better for me to go to my grandfather's house to ask for it, these years, because of our mother and son, my grandfather's family can be so rich and expensive, and now we are in trouble, they can't stand by and watch!" The third prince said.

Hu Zhaoyi thought for a while and nodded: "It can only be like this." ”

So, the third prince left the Zongren Mansion and went to Hu Zhaoyi's mother's house.

After going back, he knocked on the side and took 200,000 taels of silver from the Hu family.

But it was not enough, plus the 100,000 taels he wanted to donate, a total of 600,000 silver.

Now more than 400,000 taels have been gathered, and there are still more than 100,000 taels left.

He began to think of a way, and finally had to take the advice of the Seven Princes and borrow it!

After all, the prince is the prince, so he can borrow money.

So after he borrowed it, he really borrowed the remaining 100,000 taels and borrowed it.

When I handed over the money, my heart was dripping with blood.

After all, it was all his money, and he borrowed more than 100,000 taels.

The next day, in the morning.

Church!

All of them have already given their money to give.

The third prince also handed it over, and the one who felt uncomfortable when he handed it over, don't mention it!

After handing over the money, Chen Xiao came over to look at the silver ticket and said:

"And you didn't drop my silver ticket?"

These words are really heart-wrenching, and they almost directly caused the three princes to collapse.

The silver ticket that Lao Tzu worked so hard to make, you said it was yours?

Question, the third prince just can't refute it.

The ministers also looked at him pitifully, thinking, what a miserable......

The emperor also glanced at Chen Xiao, and the meaning was clearly saying:

It's almost ......

So, Chen Xiao snorted, and his heart was extremely happy!

This time, I really didn't pay a penny, that is, I donated 500,000 taels, and I made the three princes miserable, not to mention how cool it is!

After all the money was handed over, a eunuch read the quota and the amount of donations.

The last thing to read was Chen Xiao's name: "Chen Xiao Lord Chen, donate 500,000 taels, the most!" ”

Chen Xiao arched his hand to everyone: "Accept, accept!" ”

The ministers were speechless and could only bow their hands.

He also said to the third prince: "Accept, ......"

The third prince thought to himself, Lao Tzu will let you be uncle......

The emperor bowed his hand: "Okay, let's talk about it, is this money directly donated to the disaster area, or is it exchanged for food?" ”

All of a sudden, the ministers were excited!

They all started to enter the discussion, and soon, they were divided into two camps!

The ministers of the two sides quarreled over disaster relief, one saying that the grain would be transported, and the other saying that the money would be sent!

Seeing that everyone was arguing, the emperor looked at Chen Xiao and said, "You donated a lot, tell me about it?" ”

Chen Xiao pursed his lips and said, "Heh, it's okay to send food and money, in my opinion, the problem is that you can't let the two ministers who were so excited just now just take care of this matter!" ”

The emperor smiled without leaving a trace, and the ministers of the two sides were anxious.

are ready and Chen Xiao theories.

But the emperor didn't care about them, and asked Chen Xiao directly: "Tell me, your reason?" ”

Chen Xiao was not afraid of offending people, so he spoke directly: "Because it is the household department that suggests sending food, and the household department takes money to exchange for food, this disaster money, maybe how much they can embezzle!" ”

The faces of some new officials in the household department were ugly, Chen Xiao killed almost all the officials in the household department last time, and now he said this again, which made them not nervous and weak, it was impossible.

So, they were all silent!

"And in favor of giving money are the officials of the Ministry of Officials. Because the money is in the hands of the magistrates, there will definitely be layers of corruption, and these officials like to honor the officials the most, everyone understands. ”

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he retreated to his position, offended the perfect person, and hid his merit and fame!

And his words really broke the bad water in the stomachs of these officials.

To put it bluntly, both sides want to embezzle disaster relief funds!
