Chapter Eighty-Five: The Old Past!

This room is full of gold, and the bed made of gold is placed in it, and I think someone has slept here, jade, orbs, and say, "Dingdang jade, gold nuggets and beads." "It's not an exaggeration.

"This is obviously an underground closed place, but the candle flame is not extinguished, this place alone is priceless, and the treasury of the entire Great Apocalypse is not as much as here!" Yan Rong said.

"Yes, it's only one room. But you see, layer upon layer, what catches your eye is the gold all over the ground, not to mention those precious calligraphy, paintings, and playthings. Nangong Yu also said.

"It's not a priceless city, but several cities, take these out, and those frontier refugees won't be so miserable." Nangong Li shook his head and said.

"It's really hateful, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who only care about their own pleasure for a while, and it is still the people of the world who are embarrassed, and such corrupt officials are still admired by the people, which is really hateful." Yan Rong said.

"I'm afraid that these things are far from enough to just loot people's fat, and I think they have done a lot of black things." Nangong Li said.

"Seal this place and arrest Chen Guanzhi."

"Master Chen, is there anything else you want to say?" After the three of them came out, Yan Rong said to Chen Guanzhi.

"Yan Rong, you are so ruthless, as ruthless as your father." Chen Guanzhi glared at Yan Rong and said.

"It's not that I'm ruthless, but you have done too many evils, hand over the list of things you have done in the past few years, and besides, everything in the Chen Mansion has been decided by the emperor, and now all the family members are in prison." Yan Rong picked up the talisman and said.

"General Yan, please let Xiao'er go, he doesn't know anything, he just likes to gamble, likes beauties, he is just a gentleman, he didn't participate in anything, I spoiled him too much, general, this matter has nothing to do with him, he is still young, and my Chen family is such a lone seedling, he can't go to prison!" Chen Guanzhi was about to cry and said.

"He is young, and the children who are wandering outside are even younger, but they have suffered a lot in the world, why didn't you think about this when you did something wrong?" Nangong Li said.

"Lord Chen, I said, everything is decided by the emperor, if the emperor does not punish the nine clans, Chen Gongzi will naturally be able to keep it, if the emperor ........" Yan Rong did not go down.

"General, I know it's wrong, it's me who is sorry for the people of Daqi, it's me who failed the emperor, it's my fault, I'm willing to bear it, general, for the sake of being an official together, just arrest me and let my family go." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General, I beg you. Chen Guanzhi still cried.

"The sins you have created yourself bear by yourself, what you have failed is that you have studied hard for decades, and it is the emperor who trusts you so much, and the people call your parents officials." Rong Zhi said.

"Master Rong, you save my son, you save him, as long as you save him, I Chen Guanzhi is willing to die, I promise....... Guaranteed to die. Chen Guanzhi said as if he had grabbed the rope of life, dragging the corner of Rong Zhi's clothes.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you think?" Rong Zhi asked Xiang Nangong Yu.

"Listen to General Yan." Nangong Yu said.

"Take them all." Yan Rong finally said.

The Hall of Inheritance

"Your Majesty, this is probably the case with Chen Guanzhi's crimes, but now he has not investigated whether there are any problems in the errands he has done for more than ten years." Yan Rong, Nangong Yu and Rong Zhi appeared in the Chengxin Hall together to report the matter to the emperor.

"Well, I really didn't expect that although Chen Guanzhi has never observed in depth, this person looks like a loyal person, and he doesn't want to be able to do this, I didn't expect it, people's hearts are unpredictable!" The emperor looked at these charges and said.

"Your Majesty, this year's floods and the plagues in various places in previous years have all passed through Chen Guanzhi's hands, and every time the imperial court sends disaster silver, Chen Guanzhi will take it into his own pocket, coupled with the flattery of those local officials, and then send precious playthings, naturally more and more will accumulate, and there will be more and more of these crimes." Yan Rong said.

"Chen Guanzhi still has a fellow party?" The emperor raised his head and asked.

"Back to my father, I haven't found out if Chen Guanzhi has any comrades, because he personally looks cold, so there are not many people who have personal friends, but there is indeed one person with the deepest friendship." Nangong Yu said.

"Who?"

"Xia Shangshu." Nangong Yu said.

"Xia Shangshu? How did they come together, obviously the two have nothing to do with each other! The emperor wondered.

"I heard that Chen Guanzhi and Xia Shangshu worshipped the same teacher before, and they are considered to be in the same school." Nangong Yu said.

"So that's the case, but Xia Shangshu is still Xia Rou's father, you should pay attention when you investigate." The emperor said.

"Yes, Xia Shangshu understands that he is a minister, and the most important thing now is Chen Guan's matter, and I ask the emperor to decide." Yan Rong said.

"Chen Guanzhi has been an official for a few years, but he made such a big mistake and looted the people's fat and ointment. Insulting the people, taking the imperial court's silver privately, I will open the law to punish it severely, and execute it on a certain day, and all the family members will be executed. The emperor said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Xia Shangshu and Chen Guanzhi are from the same family, what is the relationship between the two?" Yan Rong walked on the road and asked Nangong Yu.

"It stands to reason that it should be good, but they are both court officials, and the two are not together, and Xia Shangshu rarely pays attention to the affairs of the court, Xia Niangniang is in the palace, and the emperor thinks of his youth, so he also takes special care of Xia Shangshu, so if Chen Guanzhi's party is Xia Shangshu, I don't believe it." Nangong Yu said.

"I think, I only want to say who Chen Guanzhi's comrades are." Yan Rong looked at the Chengxin Hall behind him and said.

"Rong Zhi voluntarily asked to stay in the Chengxin Palace, and I don't know what to say to my father." Nangong Yu said.

"Come to think of it, a person from a poor family can be promoted by the prime minister, isn't it still easy to get a lot of money." Yan Rong said.

"It's a pity that no one can find out about the prime minister." Nangong Yu said with a frown.

"Take your time, don't rush." Yan Rong left the palace after speaking.

Rongwang's Mansion

"Coming back? How did the father deal with it? Nangong Li asked.

"I didn't say it, but that Zhao Gongzi should be fine." Yan Rong took a sip of water and said.

"Why, his father made such a big mistake, and he was able to get along?" Nangong Li asked incredulously.

"It doesn't matter, the emperor's order is not something that anyone can change, just complete the task." Yan Rong said.

"Then, what should I do with the things under the Chen Mansion?" Nangong Li asked.

"Naturally, it will be handed over to the imperial court, and then it will be distributed first, so as to solve the urgent needs of the people in the frontier." Yan Rong said.

"But there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings in it, and those things shouldn't help the people!"

"And what do you want to do?"

"I want that painting, it's a famous painting that has been around for hundreds of years, I want it." Nangong Li looked at Yan Rong without blinking and said.

"Then you go to the emperor and ask for it, what do you tell me to do?" Yan Rong said deliberately.

"I won't go to my father, either he will say that I am not doing my job, or that I am messing around, and my face will not be given to me." Nangong Li said.

"Alright, then you will explain all your doubts to me today, and I will send the painting to you respectfully." Yan Rong said.

"I didn't want to hide it from you, okay, come if you want to ask anything!" Nangong Li picked up the fan and said while fanning.

"Naturally, it's Leng Gongzi's business, I'm very curious, how did you, the legendary weak prince who didn't leave the palace, become Leng Gongzi?" Yan Rong had already raised his head to listen to Nangong Li.

"My father locked me up in the palace, but my eldest brother was afraid that I would be bored and often sneaked me out, although I would also be discovered by my father, but my father sometimes turned a blind eye when he was happy, so I would stay for a short time every time I went out."

"Later, a few years ago, I was playing on the back street, but I saw with my own eyes that a mansion was razed to the ground, and the young man in Tsing Yi just watched motionlessly as if his home was being torn down, as if it was not his home, there were cries and laughter around him, but the young man didn't say a word, just watched quietly. Later, I inquired, it turned out that his family's fertile land had been sold as a debt, and his family had changed, his father died of illness, and his mother supported the whole family by himself, and dismissed the domestic servants, leaving only the two of them. ”

But the family still had a lot of debts, and he was often beaten, so he had no choice but to sell his ancestral home. I walked up and found that there were tears in his eyes, and he was holding a dice cup in his hand, I couldn't help but ask him why he was holding a dice cup, he said that it was my father's favorite thing in his life, and it was because of gambling that his family became like this, and he hated it but couldn't help it. ”

"But I told him that gambling money is not all bad, as long as it is used properly, it can also revive his family, so I helped him and rebuilt a gambling house, not usury, just fun, the people of the rivers and lakes, the court people, the people, children, the elderly and women, of course, he himself has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he is very skilled in listening to the dice and playing the dice."

"And I was locked up in the palace, when I was bored, I played dice alone, and I was more proficient, the two of us were very embarrassed at the beginning, if it weren't for the help of the eldest brother, I'm afraid the first gambling house has not been there until now!" After Nangong Li finished speaking, he was still thinking about this matter carefully.

"No wonder Nangong Yu said that the first gambling house should take you there, it turns out that you are one of the owners of this gambling house." Yan Rong said with a smile.

"No, the credit of the gambling house is all in Lianquna, I'm just helping out."

But if it weren't for you, the boss wouldn't even be able to run this gambling house!" “

"When I first asked him to give this opinion, he hesitated, because he hated dice the most, but now he wants to use this thing that killed his father to revive the family, but then he made up his mind, and the most important thing is that I asked him to promise me that he should not deceive anyone at will." Nangong Li said.

"That's why the reputation of the first gambling house is so good, and the most important thing is not to deceive me." Yan Rong said with a smile.

"Yes."

"But, what about Leng Gongzi?" Yan Rong asked
