Chapter 17 Proceeding as planned
A gorgeously dressed man swaggered into Yongxiang Bank, although he was gorgeously dressed, but his hair was messy, as soon as he entered, he went straight to the counter, and before the man could greet him, he said, "I'm looking for the shopkeeper." ”
The guy was stunned on the spot, his eyes stared straight at the man, and he saw that the hands of the person in front of him were extremely rough, which was extremely inconsistent with this outfit, it was already weird, and he was only looking for the shopkeeper. I couldn't help but be wary, and glanced at the person at the staircase on the second floor, "What does the guest officer have to find our shopkeeper?" ”
The man said, "Of course there is something important. ”
The man said, "Our shopkeeper is out, and I don't know if I've returned, so I'll let you take a look." ”
The guy went into the backyard and muttered a few words to the people in the backyard, and at the same time looked at the people on the second floor, who looked around the street, and nodded.
Soon, the guy came out from behind with a smile on his face, which was the standard smirk of a business style.
The man said, "Yo, you came just in time, our shopkeeper has just returned, you wait." ”
The young man looked indifferent, just wait.
Soon a middle-aged man came out, showing his wealth, smiling and kind.
The man asked, "Are you the shopkeeper?" ”
The shopkeeper said, "I am." ”
"Now, here's for you." The man took out a small cloth bag from his waist and threw it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed the small cloth bag, pinched it, and felt that it was a folded note, "This is?" ”
The man said impatiently, "Hey, don't ask, I don't know, I'm just running an errand." ”
The shopkeeper asked, "Who is the one who asked you to run errands?" ”
The man said coldly: "I don't know! ”
“......”
The young man turned and left, and when the shopkeeper wanted to ask again, the young man had already gone out and walked out into the street. The shopkeeper glanced at the people on the second floor, and the people on the second floor jumped down and gently followed the people who had just gone out.
The shopkeeper hurriedly walked to the back, opened the secret room, handed the cloth bag to the people in the secret room, and shouted "Your Highness". The people in the secret room put themselves in the dark and couldn't see the look on their faces clearly, His Highness took the cloth bag and asked, "What is this?" ”
The shopkeeper said, "I just sent it by a person, and I don't know where it came from, so I sent someone to follow." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opened the cloth bag, took out the note, and when he opened it, the whole person was stiff. The shopkeeper felt that something was wrong, and he did not dare to go to see the contents of the paper, so he was in a hurry.
I couldn't help but call the man, "Your Highness? ”
His Highness in the shadows asked, "What about the messenger?" ”
The shopkeeper said, "It's gone." ”
His Royal Highness was a little angry, but he didn't have a seizure, and the shopkeeper didn't know what the letter said, and the seizure didn't help.
His Highness asked a little impatiently: "You just said that you sent someone to follow, what about the person who followed?" ”
The shopkeeper was very cautious, for fear of annoying His Highness, so he hurriedly said with a slight apology, "I'll go find it." ”
The man who went out to track him returned, and the shopkeeper brought them into the secret room together.
The shopkeeper said respectfully: "Your Highness, someone has brought it." ”
His Highness hurriedly asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Those who come back are commanded, and they bow down, and only after the ceremony is finished, do they answer.
The man who followed him said, "I followed the man until I reached the cross street, and the man found a secluded and abandoned courtyard, and when he went in and out, he had already taken off his coat, and it was a man named Hanako." I didn't see anyone else in the yard, so Hanako took the clothes and went to the pawnshop, and when she came out, the clothes were gone, so Hanako threw the money in her hand and went to Wanhualou..."
His Royal Highness asked at the same time, "Called Hanako?" ”
It feels incredible, how could it not be a flower child.
His Royal Highness thought it was incredible, and asked again: "Did you see him enter the Wanhua Tower with your own eyes?" ”
The person who followed replied, "Yes." ”
His Royal Highness was very anxious and instructed: "Keep staring, don't reveal your identity." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left in a hurry, and the letter said that the floods in Jiangzhou had devoured the fertile fields and houses, and the people were miserable......
The imperial court has not received such important information yet, but he himself has received it first, who is this who learned the news, and why did he tell himself first? He couldn't figure out what he wanted. I don't know how that person got this news, this kind of confidential matter, especially since he has nothing to do with this matter.
There are only two situations, either a kind reminder to solve the problem as soon as possible, or to find a corresponding countermeasure; Either it's malicious, taking advantage of the opportunity to rob, or trying to threaten. He thought about it, but he still couldn't pay attention, and left from the backyard of the money village in a hurry.
Until evening, no one had come out of Wanhualou; I went in and searched secretly, but there was no clue. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought to himself, this might be a kind reminder, but it is definitely not easy for this person to obtain such a confidential matter, and it must not be taken lightly. Whether it's evil or good, you have to come up with a countermeasure, and the first strike is stronger.
At night, Peony appeared in the study of the Nine Princes.
Peony knelt in front of the Nine Princes: "Lord, the slave has something important to tell you." ”
The Nine Kings asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
Peony said: "This is what the master asked the slave to hand over to the prince." Peony took out a bamboo pipe from his sleeve and respectfully held it up to the Nine Princes.
The prince opened the bamboo pipe, looked at the content of the letter, and laughed, "God help me!" ”
As soon as he was happy, he gave the peony a lot of rewards, and then sent someone to send the peony out.
He was so happy, when the prince went to control the water, he looked like that, and now he is angry when he thinks about it. I was left in the capital by the emperor at that time, because I was afraid that I would do sabotage, hmph, who said that I need to do it myself.
The content of the letter was enough to make the prince depressed for some time.
At noon the next day, the Nine Kings went to the palace in a hurry, with a recital, and a person, Quan Sheng.
In the evening of the next day, the emperor received the news of the flood in Jiangzhou, and smashed the teacup next to him angrily, so frightened that the people around him did not dare to take a sip.
Immediately summon the ministers to the court to discuss countermeasures.
The Nine Princes were waiting for the prince's drive outside the council hall in a dashing manner, and they were bound to "care".
When the two princes met, the other ministers walked around, and after some "concern", the prince knew in his heart that the nine kings were targeting him, and he was obviously prepared, but fortunately he was also prepared.
After discussing for two hours, the nine kings and the crown prince did not get any benefit.
The nine kings impeached the prince for embezzling money and property, and there was no physical evidence, and the crime was not established, but the water control was ineffective, which led to a flood disaster, and the financial loss was huge, and he was charged with a crime of ineffective work, and was punished with two months of grounding, and for two months of grounding, he had to copy books on how the king loved the people.
During the period when the prince controlled the water, the nine kings obstructed in every way, and deliberately mutilate their siblings, regardless of blood and family affection, and did not want to solve the people's livelihood when the disaster came, but fell into the well, maliciously suppressed the prince, and disregarded human morality. Penalty one year, take back the fief, in order to see the after-effects, if there is a change during this period, know the mistake to change, re-grant the fief.
As soon as the notice came out, it shocked the entire capital. Jingyu was not surprised at all when she heard the news in the barracks.
He sent two messages one after the other, and sent the news to His Highness first, so that the prince could be fully prepared and come up with a countermeasure. Later, he sent a message to the Nine Kings, which made him get carried away and think that he had caught the handle of the crown prince.
Jingyu smiled evilly, remembering the two letters.
"The floods in Jiangzhou have engulfed countless fertile fields and houses, injuring many people, and the news will soon arrive in the capital."
"The prince controls the water and embezzles silver, and the certificate is the right of the Ministry of Industry."
The flying and domineering Nine Kings are bent on bringing down the crown prince, and now that the evidence is conclusive, he will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, how did he know that the floods in Jiangzhou were a disaster?
The prince knew that he was wrong, so he faced the saint alone in advance, and simply admitted his mistake honestly. Above the court, even in the face of the impeachment of the Nine Kings, he has long been prepared. The emperor estimated that the royal face would not make a big deal out of it; Besides, someone can get the news before him, which is a big taboo.
deliberately suppressed the prince, which made it easy for those who supported the prince to let him go.
There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to break in to hell. If the mind is not right, karma will be retribution, and no one can help it.
The corners of Jingyu's mouth were full of smiles, remembering the news that the little guy brought back, two dark red words - "Use!" Wait!" The thought that it was written by the general in his own blood made me feel a little unbearable in my heart.
He sat alone at the desk and muttered, "On my side, everything is fine." General, you and your wife should also go smoothly and return as soon as possible! ”
