The emperor was sure that the current situation must have been caused by Chen Xiao.

Although he couldn't figure out which link went wrong, he was sure that Chen Xiao didn't pay anything, and the third prince was cheated!

But if he knew, what could he do? No proof?

He sorted this matter back and forth several times, and the problem was that at the beginning, the third prince insisted that Chen Xiao's embezzlement box was 500,000 taels of silver.

Now, Chen Xiao is not corrupt, and the silver ticket is gone?

During this period, it was your three princes who kept it, and if you didn't look for you, who were you looking for?

The emperor had actually guessed one thing in his heart, that is, the third prince didn't open the box at all to take a closer look at the silver ticket inside, but was deceived by the silver ticket outside.

Because he was sure that Chen Xiao had taken bribes at the beginning, he liked that box of silver tickets more than anyone else was 500,000 taels.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he emphasized and affirmed countless times that what was in the box was 500,000 taels of silver tickets.

But now, the silver was not Chen Xiao's bribe, and he remembered that he hadn't looked at the silver carefully at all.

This is Chen Xiao's use of his psychology at the beginning to achieve the excellent effect now.

The emperor figured it out, and the third prince himself naturally figured it out.

But what could he say?

He said that at the beginning, in order to confirm Chen Xiao's sin, he didn't seek truth from facts?

Even so, who would believe it? What about the evidence?

"Third prince, what else do you have to say?" Chen Xiao questioned the third prince.

The third prince had a bitter face and had nothing to say.

Chen Xiao said to the emperor: "Please let Your Majesty decide this matter!" ”

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "The silver ticket is a problem in the hands of the three princes, and naturally, it will be solved by the three princes."

Third, whether you take this silver ticket, or someone transfers it in your hand, it is your responsibility. You can find a way to make up Chen Xiao's 500,000 taels of silver tickets. ”

There is another sentence, he wants to say: Even if you are cheated by Chen Xiao, you can only endure it.

But after thinking about it, forget it, don't say it.

The third prince hung his head speechlessly and said, "Yes...... Erchen ...... Got it......"

500,000 taels of silver tickets, he wants to die now!

I want to eat Chen Xiao alive......

Although the ministers also felt that something was wrong, no one came forward to interfere with this matter.

Everyone is just watching the fun, and they are not sure the truth of the matter!

The emperor also felt that his head was big today, so he quickly got up: "Retreat!" ”

So, let's go!

The third prince glanced at Chen Xiao and said, "You cheat me...... In that box, there were no 500,000 taels of silver tickets at all! ”

Chen Xiao said: "What do you mean, my people, give me a thousand taels of silver tickets, and the bottom is full of cursing paper?" ”

The third prince was speechless, and seeing Chen Xiao's serious look, he thought to himself, could it be ...... Chen Xiao is serious? Was the silver ticket in the box tampered with when it was in his hand?

So, he made up his mind to check it out.

But at this time, Chen Xiao suddenly smiled at the third prince, and said, "Thank you...... Hey hey ......"

After speaking, Chen Xiao smiled and left the hall, leaving the third prince with a confused face, thinking, "What do you mean?" ”

At this moment, the ministers all looked at the three princes with pitiful eyes.

At first, they weren't sure, but the moment Chen Xiao said thank you to the third prince, they were sure that this time, it was indeed Chen Xiao who had pitted the prince.

The third prince also woke up, his face changed, and he said angrily:

"Damn Chen Xiao, it's really you...... You're really acting and lying to me at the last minute......"

Thinking about Chen Xiao's serious quibbles a moment ago, he was so angry that the third prince almost suspected that the silver ticket was really a problem in his own hands.

"I won't let you go, I won't let you go!" The third prince yelled a little out of shape.

The ministers left in embarrassment.

After walking away, there was a lot of discussion.

The third prince couldn't figure it out, turned around angrily, and went to the imperial study.

Seeing the emperor, he knelt down directly: "Father, the son was deceived by Chen Xiao, he didn't ...... at all"

"Shut up!"

The emperor scolded!

The third prince's face changed, and he didn't dare to speak.

The emperor put down the recital, looked at the third prince with some anger, and said, "You think, I don't know? You think I'm as stupid as you are? ”

"Father, I ......" the third prince opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to say it.

The emperor snorted and said: "At the beginning, the seventh child was pitted, and then, the fifth child was pitted, and now, you are being pitted again." It's all one person who cheated you, tell me, are you too stupid, or is Chen Xiao too smart? ”

"This ...... Father, Chen Xiao is too treacherous, he ...... Hey......" The third prince's face turned red.

The emperor took a deep breath: "You said he cheated you, but what can you do?" Everything comes out of your mouth, and the whole process of Chen Xiao is just proving himself. Now, do you want to erase what you said? Is it possible? ”

"That'...... Father's ...... Son, what should I do? The third prince said.

"Hmph, you shouldn't have blamed Chen Xiao on the fact that the household department couldn't get the money for the time being that day. If you hadn't said that, there wouldn't have been so much. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor sighed: "As for now, you think you are unlucky, find a way to make up for the 500,000 taels of silver tickets for him!" ”

"However, where does Erchen have 500,000 taels of silver tickets...... Father, can I still turn things around? The third prince asked weakly.

The emperor said: "Not only is it impossible to turn the tables, but if you continue to continue, you may be even worse." Throw in the towel early and don't sink yourself too deep! ”

The third prince almost cried: "But father, that's enough...... 500,000 taels of silver tickets, Erchen donated 100,000 taels this time, and he is already bleeding profusely......"

"You caused the matter yourself, and you should bear the consequences yourself, it's boring to talk too much!" The emperor grimaced.

The third prince had nothing to say, so he could only bow down and leave.

The moment I walked out of the imperial study, I couldn't hold back my tears......

At this time, the Seventh Prince was watching from a distance.

Then he came over and said, "Third Emperor Brother, I heard that you were cheated by Chen Xiao for 500,000 taels?" I understand you, I was cheated by him for 100,000 taels before, and this time, I will donate 100,000 taels, and my mother will also donate 30,000 taels......"

He originally wanted to express the plight of their brothers.

As a result, the third prince was furious: "Get out of ......"

The Seventh Prince was speechless and said, "Was you scolded by your father?" It's okay, the Five Emperor Brothers and I have been scolded, don't take it to heart, everyone is almost ......"

The third prince only felt that his wound was poked with his fingers by this seventh prince, and roared angrily: "You get out of the ...... Lao Tzu"

The Seventh Prince was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away, ran not far, and turned back: "Third Emperor Brother, if you don't have enough money, you can borrow it, but don't ask me to borrow it, I'm also looking for someone to borrow it......"

The third prince only felt a huge pain in his chest and wanted to vomit blood!
