So, the third prince personally took away the box of silver tickets, he was afraid that others would take me away the silver tickets, in case the treacherous Chen Xiao would do something and take out all the silver tickets, then there would be no evidence.

As for Chen Xiao, he was taken away by the people of Dali Temple. This scene was seen by the people of the country, and they all wondered, what happened to their sacrificial wine lord? was actually taken away by Dali Temple? Did you make a mistake?

There are also people who are happy to be happy, and they are jealous that Chen Xiao became a four-grade official at a young age, and at this moment, he is naturally very happy to see Chen Xiao fall.

Chen Xiao is very capable of acting in the whole process, he is firm that Chen Xiao is guilty for the sake of the three princes, and Chen Xiao is very worried and scared during the whole process.

This really made the third prince feel that Chen Xiao was finished this time, and it was a sure thing.

So, this night, Chen Xiao spent the night in the prison of Dali Temple.

He doesn't care, it's just one night, thinking about a box of paper and a little silver ticket, he will pit the third prince, and he is still very happy.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao had a smug smile on his face.

This night, everyone is looking forward to the next day.

So, the next day, in the expectation of the third prince and Chen Xiao, came.

Early in the morning, in the palace, in the main hall.

The hundred officials had already received the news, and the emperor vaguely knew something, and there was no expression on his face.

In the early dynasty, the first thing in the early dynasty, the third prince came out of the queue and said to the emperor: "Father, the son is in trouble!" ”

The emperor sighed in his heart, thinking Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, why are you confused this time?

So he said, "What's the matter?" ”

The third prince couldn't wait to say: "Father, Chen Xiao promised yesterday that he was willing to pay 400,000 taels of silver to compensate for his mistake. Also, he donated 100,000 taels himself, a total of 500,000 taels of silver.

But he didn't have so much silver at all, so he used illegal means to get 500,000 taels by accepting bribes, and promised to get other people's sons to the national prison, such an amount and such an act, the crime deserves death! ”

The emperor's face was ugly: "Are you sure about this?" ”

"It's true, father, these are all seen by the sons, and there is no lie." The third prince said.

The Emperor said, "What evidence?" ”

"Back to my father, yesterday the son found out about this, and immediately asked Dali Siqing to take someone there, and found a box of silver tickets at the scene, the amount of which was 500,000 taels! The person was taken away by Dali Siqing, and the box of silver tickets, Erchen was worried that someone would do it, so he took it away for safekeeping! ”

The emperor looked at Dali Siqing: "What the three princes said is true?" ”

Dali Siqing came out: "Back to Your Majesty, indeed, Chen Xiao was extremely panicked at that time. And that box of silver is indeed in the house of Chen Xiao, the eunuch of the country. After investigation, many students saw that a wealthy businessman went to see Chen Xiao with his son and a suitcase. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu spoke: "Your Majesty, it seems that the evidence is conclusive!" ”

"Yes, this Chen Xiao is too bold to accept a bribe of 500,000 taels of silver."

"It's too bold!"

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Chuan Chen Xiao came up, I want to find out!" ”

Dali Siqing turned around: "Take Chen Xiao!" ”

After a while, Chen Xiao walked up, followed by two officers and soldiers.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Xiao was very calm.

The emperor was a little worried, to be honest, he didn't expect Chen Xiao to take a bribe.

But looking at Chen Xiao at this moment, I felt that Chen Xiao was so fearless, as if he was ...... Don't worry about it at all?

"Chen Xiao, they said that you accepted bribes, and the evidence is conclusive, what do you have to say?" The emperor asked.

Chen Xiao pretended to be puzzled: "The evidence is conclusive? Excuse me, where is the evidence? ”

The third prince sneered: "Come on, take the box!" ”

So, someone brought up a box. And when it was opened, at a glance, it was indeed a silver ticket.

"Chen Xiao, how do you explain this box of silver tickets?" The third prince said.

Chen Xiao said: "The silver ticket is mine!" ”

"How can you possibly have so many silver tickets?" The third prince scolded.

Chen Xiao said: "I'm doing business, what's so strange about having a silver ticket?" ”

"That's a full 500,000 taels, you do business, so much?" The third prince said.

Chen Xiao disdainfully: "You said 500,000, is it 500,000?" I'd say it's only 100,000 taels. ”

"It's full of nonsense, this is clearly 500,000 taels of silver tickets." The third prince said.

Chen Xiao pouted: "What?" Have you counted? ”

"This prince will count, it is 500,000 taels, you don't want to quibble, if you don't believe it, I will open it and count it for you immediately." The third prince said.

Chen Xiao's language trap, the third prince also jumped into it on impulse.

So Chen Xiao hurriedly said: "Don't count, don't count." ”

The third prince sneered: "Hmph, what's the matter, these 500,000 taels of silver, there's no way to quibble, right?" ”

In fact, he didn't open the silver ticket at all, because he was sure that it was 500,000 taels, and now in order to make Chen Xiao carry a large amount of corruption, he emphasized that it was 500,000 taels.

So Chen Xiao nodded: "Don't quibble...... What, Your Majesty, the minister explained, this silver is indeed mine, and my friend helped me get it to the country's prison, and I plan to use it for disaster relief. ”

"It's nonsense, it's clear that someone else bribed you, and you helped his son get the Guozi Prison." The prince said.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Your Highness is talking about the middle-aged and young man who came to the country yesterday, right?" Then you are mistaken!

That middle-aged man is actually the person who helped me set up a restaurant, and that young man is just a guy in the shop. ”

The third prince sneered: "You still want to quibble? My people clearly heard that the middle-aged man said to let you give that young man a chance. In the end, the middle-aged man gave you this box of silver tickets, and you agreed, saying that you would let the young man come to you. ”

"Yes, he wanted that guy to work in my restaurant, and he said, give me the turnover of the restaurant, and at the same time, I promised the young man to work in my restaurant.

What kind of rich man did you say to the third prince bribing me to let his son come to the country's prison, are they two different things? Chen Xiao said calmly.

At the same time, he continued: "Moreover, you ask the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, which rich man would bribe 500,000 taels in order to let his son come to the country? Do you think it's five hundred and two or five thousand taels? ”

Many officials also suddenly came back to their senses, yes, bribe 500,000 taels to go to the national prison? That's not realistic!

The third prince's face darkened, and he said, "Why do you say that the middle-aged rich man is the person in charge of your restaurant?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "Your Majesty, you can go to my branch restaurant immediately, and bring the person in charge and the young man he wanted to work in the restaurant yesterday, and you will find out at a check!" ”

The emperor had realized that the problem was not simple, so he immediately asked the commander of the Praetorian Guard to go.

After a while, the tiger tooth, dressed in silk, led the young man from yesterday to the temple.

At the same time, there were several students of Guozijian, as well as officials.

When they arrived at the palace, the emperor first asked the students and officials of Guozijian: "Yesterday, when you entered Guozijian to see Chen Xiao, were these two people?" ”

The students and officials of Guozijian all nodded when they saw Huya and the young man.

At the same time, the commander of the Praetorian Guard said: "Your Majesty, after investigation, this person is the person in charge of Chen Xiaofen Restaurant, and this young man, who is not father and son, has just come to work in the restaurant today." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, Chen Xiao didn't lie......

Chen Xiao spread his hands: "So, everyone, my guys, give me my money, and recommend a young man to my restaurant, it's not a bribe, right?" You have wronged me! ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department smiled: "The money is your own, so naturally it is not considered a bribe......

The third prince's face turned pale......
