Chapter 843: The Trap

The moment the silk cloth was lifted, there was a dead silence all around.

Sima Chang cautiously stared at the contents of the box, and his originally triumphant face instantly changed color, but at this time, the officials who were closer to the side had already seen that there were five or six barrels in the wooden box, and some officials even couldn't help but cover their noses, but they recognized those Gong barrels that were used to make compliments.

Sima Changshen's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly lifted the silk cloth of the other boxes, and opened them one by one, but everyone saw that there was nothing else in the five boxes, and they were all Gong buckets, there were thirty or forty of them, and most of these Gong barrels were wooden barrels, but there were also copper, but there were not many copper, but only three or four.

As for the rare treasures and antique calligraphy and paintings that Sima Changshen had firmly thought before, he couldn't even see a shadow.

Sima Changshen's face had become pale at this time, his forehead was sweating, but Dou Kui over there seemed to have sensed something, glanced at the box, was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and when he saw clearly that several boxes were full of gong buckets, he was suddenly ecstatic, and his face showed a surprise that could not be concealed.

The four of them quickly began to whisper.

Qi Ning walked over slowly, glanced at it, and then stared at Sima Changshen, Sima Changshen felt that Qi Ning's eyes were like knives, but he didn't dare to look at Qi Ning at this time, but just muttered: "Trap, this is ..... It's a trap. Turning around suddenly, seeing Dou Kui beside him, he grabbed Dou Kui's collar and said sharply: "Dou Kui, what kind of trick are you playing, this ..... It's a trap! ”

"Trap?" Dou Kui broke away and took two steps back, he was in a certain mood, and at this time he was already full of confidence: "Zhongyihou, what do you mean by the trap?" Blocking the carriage in the middle of the road tonight, did I not invite you to go? ”

"Why are there all the buckets in the box?" Sima Changshen said angrily: "This ...... How is this possible? ”

Dou Kui straightened his official robe and said lightly: "Since it is a confiscation of the Huainan Palace, it is natural that everything that can be confiscated and returned to the treasury must be confiscated as much as possible." These Gong barrels are also within the scope of confiscation, but after all, they are not a good thing, so they sent someone back to the household in the middle of the night, and waited for loyalty, did this violate the law of the country? ”

Generally speaking, in addition to transporting valuable things such as gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, the remaining tables and chairs will find someone to bid directly to transport away, and Gong buckets have always been things that no one cares about, Huainan Wangfu enjoys all the glory and wealth, and there are a few pure gold made of Gong buckets are also true, but when they raided the house yesterday, they have been transported away.

No one thought that Dou Kui transported a batch of Gong barrels from Huainan Wangfu in the middle of the night, although it is indeed a bit unbelievable to say that the night Gong barrels are indeed a bit incredible, but on top of the legal theory, they can't find any fault, and no one will be stupid enough to think that transporting a batch of Gong barrels will be to fill their pockets in the greedy ink property.

Sima Changshen had already realized that he had been put on a hard slap at this time, but in front of everyone, he had nothing to say.

Qi Ning sighed and said, "Loyalty, now that the dust has settled, what is being transported in the carriage, everyone is not blind, and they can see clearly." Pointing to the box and saying with a smile: "If anyone thinks that these are antique treasures, they can take them back and collect them now, and Benhou can ask the emperor to give all these things to everyone." ”

There was a burst of laughter in all directions.

Sima Changshen only felt that his face was hot, but Qi Ning continued: "After Zhongyi, he said that there are treasures in the Huainan Palace, but Lord Dou and I searched every corner of the Huainan Palace, by the way, it was the Yulin brothers in the palace who were responsible for the search, and the things that were searched were all registered, and they were all transported to the household department, I really don't know what kind of treasures in the Huainan Palace would be smuggled out." ”

Chen Lanting saw that Sima Changshen was in a predicament, and couldn't help but say: "Doesn't Jinyi Hou know that King Huainan had a hobby of collecting rare treasures?" And I heard that he also found a hidden place to hide those rare treasures. Zhongyihou is naturally worried that someone will find that batch of secret treasures and take them for himself, so he will ......! ”

"Wait." Qi Ning frowned and said, "Chen Shilang, when you talk about this, Ben Hou has to ask clearly." You said that you heard that King Huainan had hidden secret treasures, then you have to make it clear, who told you, where is the evidence, and where are those secret treasures? ”

Chen Lanting was stunned for a moment, and said: "Xia Guan just heard someone mention it, where are those secret treasures, Xia Guan..... How does the lower official know. ”

"You don't know, why are you talking so much here?" Qi Ning sneered: "Who did you hear mentioned? Bring him over now, and let's make it clear in front of all of you. Otherwise, it will make people think that Lord Dou and I have discovered the secret treasure and secretly filled our own pockets, this grievance, Ben Hou can't stand it, Lord Dou, can you stand it? ”

"Of course not." Dou Kui was full of confidence and was righteous and strict: "The official and the Hou Ye are loyal to their duties, obey the law and are ..... today Hmph, I have been wronged by Zhongyi Hou once, if someone continues to pour muddy water on Hou Ye and this official next time, do you have to endure it forever. The official manages the household department, dealing with money and food all day long, some people are suspicious, and feel that the official's hands are not clean, so that's fine, but the Jinyi Qi family has always been honest and honest, and the little marquis is even more honest and honest, and there are people with ill intentions who slander the reputation of the Jinyi Qi family, and the official can't look past it. ”

Qi Ning said: "So since Chen Shilang has said this today, he has to come up with evidence to prove that King Huainan has a secret treasure, and you will bring the person who told you this secret now." He raised his hand and touched his nose, and sneered: "King Huainan treasures secret treasures, naturally he won't publicize them everywhere, how does that person know that King Huainan has secret treasures?" If it weren't for being very close and someone trusted by King Huainan, it would be hard for Ben Hou to believe how he knew? ”

He sang and harmonized with Dou Kui, but his words were full of murderous intentions.

The last sentence is really important, just if anyone knows about the secret treasure of the King of Huainan, it may be the henchmen of the King of Huainan, and now the most worrying thing about the Manchu Dynasty is to be implicated in the case of the rebellion of the King of Huainan, and I wish to break away from the King of Huainan.

Chen Lanting also knew that things were not good, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou, this is ..... Xia Guan actually heard someone mention it by chance, who said it, Xia Guan..... Xia Guan really can't remember. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning said coldly: "If you can't remember a word, you can pass the buck to everything." Pointing to Chen Lanting's nose, he said: "Before Benhou heard that the King of Huainan had rebelled, you had a conspiracy with the King of Huainan in the middle of the night, but is there such a thing?" ”

Chen Lanting's soul was scattered, and he lost his voice: "What..... How can there be such a thing, Jinyihou, you ..... Don't you spew blood, do you have proof? ”

"Lord Chen can talk nonsense without evidence, Benhou can't guess if he doesn't have evidence?" Qi Ning said lightly: "Chen Lanting, you have to remember that you can eat indiscriminately, and you can talk nonsense." Ben Hou asks you again, is it true or false that King Huainan has a secret treasure? ”

Chen Lanting sweated on his forehead, and couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe it off, and said, "This ..... This should be a rumor, and there is no such thing. ”

"It seems that Lord Chen still understands things." Qi Ning showed a hint of a smile: "If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense, even a three-year-old child knows something, a dignified courtier, is it not as good as a child?" Since the fact that the king of Huainan has hidden the secret treasure is nothing, then smuggling the secret treasure of the palace is even more nonsense. He suddenly looked at Sima Changshen and asked, "Zhongyihou, Lord Chen said that there were rumors about the secret treasure of the palace, but I don't know what you think?" ”

Sima Changshen already knew that he was being calculated by Qi Ning, sneered, and said: "Whether there is one, Ben Hou doesn't know, before finding evidence, it is naturally difficult to say that there is, but it can't be said that there is none." ”

"That's it." Qi Ning smiled slightly, pointed to the box and said, "So Zhongyihou thinks these things are important things?" Is Lord Dou suspected of smuggling treasures? ”

Sima Changshen had nothing to say, put his hands behind his back, and snorted coldly.

"It seems that Zhongyihou doesn't think this is a secret treasure of the palace." Qi Ning waved his hand: "Lord Dou, these boxes were originally good, but they were destroyed by someone, what do you say?" ”

Dou Kui said: "What was before, it should be restored." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "Not bad. Pointing to Sima Changshen's subordinates, he said: "You have all heard, the smashed iron lock, restore it now, and then carry the box back to the carriage, how to put it before, exactly what was put away." ”

Those subordinates looked embarrassed one by one, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Sima Changshen took out a gold ingot and threw it in the box, saying, "This ingot of gold is enough to buy ten more boxes." ”

"Since Zhongyi is waiting for the gold compensation, for the sake of Zhenguogong's face, Lord Dou, don't pursue this matter too much." Qi Ning laughed.

At this time, Dou Kui was already obedient to Qi Ning's orders, and immediately said: "Everything is under the orders of Master Hou." His face sank, and he said to the entourage of the Sima family: "If you don't put the boxes back, do you want to leave these gong barrels outside the palace gate?" ”

Without waiting for Sima Chang to give him an order, a kind of person hurriedly closed the boxes and carefully carried the five boxes back to the carriage.

"Loyalty, there is a lesson from tonight, and in the future, don't easily get involved in the affairs of other departments and yamen." Qi Ning sighed: "Don't ask the Queen Mother for a search at every turn, if the Queen Mother knows that the order is just to search Gong Bucket, I don't know how angry she will be." ”

"You're ......!" From the beginning to the end of today, Sima Changshen fell under Qi Ning's hands everywhere, full of resentment, but there was no way to vent it in front of everyone's eyes.

Qi Ning smiled slightly, and said: "But in fact, don't worry too much, Zhongyi Hou said that he would ask the emperor to cut the title, if the title is cut, without the title of Zhongyi Hou, you don't have any name and qualifications to mix with the official affairs of other yamen, and it is not a bad thing to be idle, Zhongyihou, isn't this the reason?" ”

The ministers thought to themselves that you Sima Chang Shen made a gambling contract in public, and now that he is defeated, he will not be cheeky and cheating, you are still loyal and righteous tonight, and when the emperor's will comes down, he will cut the lord and collect the land, and the four hereditary candidates of Dachu will go to one of them from now on.
