Zhou Qingwu was furious, and Yue Qingshan knelt on the ground trembling.

"Xiao Luzi, bring the letter to Lord Yue and take a good look!"

Xiao Luzi answered, and immediately went to the table to take a letter to Yue Qingshan.

When Yue Qingshan saw the handwriting on it, he couldn't help but shudder.

This is the one he once wrote to Guo Shangshu, why is it in Zhou Qingwu's hands?

"It seems that Aiqing doesn't need to look at it." Zhou Qingwu looked at his appearance and knew that this letter was indeed from his hand.

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”

Yue Qingshan kowtowed, just saying these four words, but didn't mention anything else.

Zhou Qingwu waited for his head to break before he opened his mouth and spit out four words lightly, and said to him: "I left you alive last time, I originally wanted to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, but now it seems that Aiqing is afraid that she will not be able to bear this heavy responsibility." ”

Yue Qingshan walked to Zhou Qingwu on his knees, raised his head and begged Zhou Qingwu and said: "Please Your Majesty is giving Weichen a chance, Weichen will definitely not live up to Your Majesty." ”

Zhou Qingwu looked at him, but said: "If Aiqing is willing to hand over 200,000 taels of silver to the national treasury, I will spare Aiqing's life, how about it?" ”

Where can Yue Qingshan care about anything else at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Weichen is willing!" ”

Zhou Qingwu glanced at Yue Qingshan, "Get up!" ”

Yue Qingshan was pardoned, "Thank you for your grace!" ”

Yue Qingshan got up, and Zhou Qingwu said: "Within three days, if twenty taels of silver can't be sent to the palace, Aiqing's official robe will become a shroud, can you understand?" ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

"Stand down!"

Yue Qingshan saluted, "The minister retreats!" ”

Out of the threshold of the Shang study, Yue Qingshan wiped the sweat from his head with his hands, and regretted it very much.

If he agreed to the 100,000 taels that Zhou Qingwu said at the beginning, maybe he wouldn't have to hand over the 220,000 taels.

Out of the palace, Yue Qingshan said to the horseman who was driving the car: "Go to Guo Shangshu's mansion." ”

The groom answered, and went up to Guo Shangshu's mansion, and behind them, two secret guards followed.

In the Shang study's room, Zhou Qingwu was holding a teacup in his hand, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and a guard came in from outside the door, and when he came to Zhou Qingwu, he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yue has gone to Guo Shangshu's mansion." ”

Zhou Qingwu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and there was no surprise on his face, "Did you send someone to follow?" ”

The guard nodded, "Yes!" Someone had already followed. ”

"Go down! I'll report back when there's news! Zhou Qingwu said.

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"

After the guard left, Xiao Luzi couldn't help but ask Zhou Qingwu, "Why didn't Your Majesty punish Lord Yue just now?" Lord Yue had obviously recognized what he had done. ”

Zhou Qingwu smiled and said: "I'm afraid he took more than just these twenty taels, if I call him Fufa now, then the people who stayed in his mansion got the news, where would they have the money to see?" ”

Xiao Luzi understood that Zhou Qingwu was going to confiscate all the silver of Yue Qingshan, and then put Yue Qingshan to death.

Poor Yue Qingshan and Guo Shangshu didn't know anything, and they even thought they had escaped.

Yue Qingshan came all the way to Guo Shangshu's mansion, and Guo Shangshu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Yue Qingshan was coming.

"Let's just say that I am not feeling well, and I will not see any visitors today. Send him away! ”

The attendant who was talking back and forth looked at Guo Shangshu in embarrassment and said, "Master, Lord Yue just came out of the palace and said that there is an urgent matter to discuss with the adult!" ”

Guo Shangshu was stunned for a moment, looked at the attendant with some puzzlement and asked, "He just came out of the palace?" ”

The attendant said, "Yes, Lord Yue seems to be in a hurry. ”

"Call him in!" Guo Shangshu suddenly changed his mind, and the attendant went down.

As soon as he came out of the palace, it took only two or three hours for Yue Qingshan to enter the palace, and it seemed that His Majesty was really angry.

It's just that I don't know why, Yue Qingshan actually left the palace unharmed in this situation?

According to His Majesty's temperament, he actually let him go?

Just thinking of this, Yue Qingshan had already stepped into the house.

"Guo Shangshu!"

"Lord Yue!"

Guo Shangshuping retreated from the people in the house, leaving only Yue Qingshan and him, "Lord Yue is from the palace?" ”

Yue Qingshan nodded, frowned and said to Guo Shangshu: "Your Majesty wants me to take out 200,000 taels and hand them over to the treasury within three days, otherwise there will only be a dead end in the future." ”

"Two hundred thousand taels?" Guo Shangshu looked at Yue Qingshan in surprise and almost stood up from the chair, he now seemed to know why Yue Qingshan was able to leave the palace safely, but this price was too great.

Yue Qingshan nodded, "All the silver in my house adds up, and it is only 100,000 taels, and I have asked the adults to lend a hand to Yue 100,000 taels of silver." ”

"Lord Yue, this is embarrassing me." Guo Shangshu didn't think about it and said: "I only have 20,000 taels, if Lord Yue can use it, I will ask someone to get it." ”

Yue Qingshan heard that Guo Shangshu didn't want to help, and couldn't help but have a trace of anger in his eyes, but this anger disappeared in a flash, and even Guo Shangshu didn't find anything wrong.

"Lord Guo is humble." Yue Qingshan looked at Guo Shangshu and said slowly: "As far as I know, not long ago, Zhou Shun sent another 30,000 taels of silver to the adult. ”

A smile overflowed at the corner of Guo Shangshu's mouth, and he said to him: "There are too many places where silver is used in the house, and there are still 20,000 taels left of these 30,000 taels, but I didn't expect Lord Yue to dislike it, so there is really no way." ”

Yue Qingshan took more than 30,000 taels from Zhou Shun, but now he actually came to him to get the silver, obviously wanting to drag himself into the water.

If it reaches Zhou Qingwu, won't it even affect himself?

"Lord Guo, can you help me figure out a way?" Yue Qingshan was unwilling to give up like this, and pleaded: "If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, I wouldn't have come to disturb Guo Shangshu." ”

Guo Shangshu said calmly when he heard this: "Since Lord Yue has said this, if I don't help with this, I really can't get by." ”

"It's just that the amount of 100,000 taels is really a lot, and I can't take it out for a while, you go home first and wait." When I get it, how about sending it to your house right away? ”

When Yue Qingshan heard him say this, he didn't chase anymore, but only stood up and said, "Thank you Guo Shangshu for coming to the rescue, and the next official will retire!" ”

A smile overflowed from the corner of Guo Shangshu's mouth, "Come on, send Lord Yue out!" ”

After Yue Qingshan left, the Lin family, who had been behind the screen, finally walked out and said to Guo Shangshu: "Master, do you really want to give Yue Qingshan 100,000 taels of silver?" ”

Guo Shangshu sneered, looked at the direction Yue Qingshan left and said, "Didn't Your Majesty just give him three days?" Tell him to wait! ”
