So King Ning asked directly.

"Lu Li, since you are not dead, why do you want to hide and hide, and you still use people-skin-mask-mask to hide people's eyes and ears?"

Lu Li saw that King Ning had already seen it, so naturally he didn't struggle much, and directly tore off his person-skin-mask-mask to show his true face

"His Royal Highness King Ning, you are still so sharp-eyed, and you can see through my measurement at once."

King Ning smiled, he was also a person who had gone through hundreds of tricks with the imperial brother, how could he not even recognize this trick.

"You're really fateful, the prison can let you escape, you're lucky."

"I don't plan to go back to Shangjing to resume my old identity."

King Ning nodded, he felt that Lu Li's idea was right, after all, if he continued to be Lu Li, not to mention that Meng Buqi would send troops to Donglan Kingdom, the emperor also had a lot of scruples about him, and now it was because Lu Li died that the emperor missed him more, this emperor's heart has always been unfathomable, if he saw Lu Li resurrected, he didn't know how to want him to die.

"I have long heard that Wei Xiuyuan has an extra strategist by his side, named Su Shuo, it seems that you are planning to continue to lurk in Shangjing under the name of Su Shuo, is that so?"

Lu Li nodded, now for him, a fake identity may be more suitable, when he uses this fake identity to find out all the things about Sharia, and then cleans all these sins in the capital, he will naturally restore his real name, that is, Lu Li, the prince of the Zhenguo of Donglan Kingdom.

But Lu Li still has the mind that he can't tell King Ning, that is, maybe when he restores Lu Li's name in the future, it is very likely that he will no longer be the prince of Zhenguo in the capital, but the emperor who is really sitting on the dragon chair.

If both sides lose and are benefited by the emperor, it is naturally not a good thing, so you can recharge your energy at this time and watch the infighting in the capital

After King Ning experienced the departure of Sharia and Lu Li, he was relatively indifferent to the right during this time, even Tang Jian was rare, and when he saw Lu Li coming back, he didn't feel any danger to himself, he only felt a little relieved in his heart, fortunately, there was no missing old man in the world.

At this time, King Ning's wine also woke up, so he asked Lu Li to put on the human-skin-mask again, and respectfully sent Su Xiaoman and Lu Li away.

To say that Ning Wang Xiaoman sent away on the front foot, Lord Liu on the back foot began to get anxious, to say that in addition to himself, Ning Wang was the person who borrowed the most money from the household department, seeing that he was so respectful to Su Xiaoman, he knew that he was very likely to have promised Su Xiaoman to repay the silver.

If he pays off all the money, it won't show his great treachery, how can this be done?

He was not impatient yet, the officials under him were already impatient, and they sold their family property one after another, preparing to send the silver to Wei Xiuyuan, how could he allow such a thing to happen, so it was clear that he was fighting against Wei Xiuyuan this time, and he would lose.

So he hurriedly called his subordinates to tell all the officials in Shangjing, but if any official dared to repay Wei Xiuyuan in advance, it would be against him!

Hearing that Lord Liu had such an order, these petty officials took their money back one after another, and saw what else Liu had to do.

At this time, Lord Liu was discussing countermeasures with his master in the study, this master looked sinister and cunning, and he smiled lewdly at Lord Liu.

"My lord, I have a brilliant plan!"

Master Liu felt a little curious, so he hurriedly asked.

"Master, what kind of plan do you have, tell me quickly."

"Lord Liu, do you think that apart from His Royal Highness King Ning, there is also you, who has borrowed the most money in Shangjing City?"

This Lord Liu thought about it, to say that now in addition to him and King Ning, the most borrowed is naturally the emperor's uncle, that is, the brother of the former emperor, and the current old prince Kang Wangye.

When Lord Liu heard this, he felt a little strange, strange to say that the old prince didn't ask about the world, although he did like to spend all his time drinking and drinking all day, so he borrowed money from the household department, but what did they have to do so that the old prince could also come with them to deal with Wei Xiuyuan.

At this time, the master's face suddenly became sharp.

"Lord Liu, you don't need to let the old prince take the initiative to deal with Wei Xiuyuan, if you want to say that this old prince has lost the protection of the first emperor, the current Yulu is far from being able to support it, he now owes more than 200,000 taels of silver, plus the cost of his mansion is already large, if Wei Xiuyuan is forced to work hard with him, he may do some stupid things, if this old prince also has an accident, won't the government and the opposition be shocked, besides, he is the brother of the former emperor, the emperor must be asked! Wouldn't this give Wei Xiuyuan a dismount! ”

Lord Liu nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case, so he hurriedly went out and walked directly to the old prince's mansion, at least before Wei Xiuyuan, he should be moved by the old prince with affection and reason, and let him stand on his side.

Sure enough, Lord Liu went to the mansion where he was afraid of the prince, and with his three-inch tongue, the old prince quickly realized the seriousness of the matter, only to see that Lord Liu said that the consequences were very serious, what lost the royal face, what emperor would punish him, and intimidate the old prince with the law,

Cold sweat broke out on the old prince's head, although he had to return the arrears, but after thinking about it, he really didn't have so much money to pay back Wei Xiuyuan, so he had no choice but to leave this old face and come to Wei Xiuyuan.

At this time, he was still in Wei Xiuyuan's house, looking at the official document, Xiao Man and Lu Li were also discussing countermeasures on the side, only to see that at this time, the puppet suddenly came to report that the old prince was coming.

This made Wei Xiuyuan very surprised, he hadn't looked at the accounts of the household department in detail before, but he didn't expect that this old prince was already at the age of enjoying his old age, and he actually borrowed so much money from the household department, how could it not be chilling.

So at this moment, Wei Xiuyuan immediately asked people to invite this old prince in.

After the old prince came in, Wei Xiuyuan immediately asked him to sit down, so as not to make him tremble, if he fell or knocked, he didn't know how the emperor would punish himself, after all, the old prince was already an old man, and he was the brother of the previous emperor, Wei Xiuyuan was naturally very respectful.

The old prince looked at Wei Xiuyuan, he wanted to come to Mingren without saying dark words, so he asked directly.

"Xiuyuan, you must know that your father and Wanrou's father are my juniors, and I used to be kind to them, and I won't go around with you today, can you delay this arrears for me."

Hearing this, Wei Xiuyuan immediately began to be embarrassed, to say that this old prince was indeed full of poetry and books when he was young, and he and his gentle father had received his favor and teachings before entering the official career, if he ignored this relationship, it seemed that the old prince had no place to put his face.

"Lord, since the emperor has explained to me, I will naturally do it."

The old prince also pouted and said helplessly

"It's not that I won't let you do it, it's just that you can delay my arrears first, for example, you can let me pay it off in two years, or pay it off in a few months, it's all okay, people have to know how to be flexible, you are far worse than your father in this matter."

Wei Xiuyuan frowned at this time, if he wanted to say that he had given the old prince leniency, he could repay the arrears slowly in installments, and other officials would also ask for installment repayment, in this case, the matter of returning the treasury silver would not be delayed again and again, what is the difference between this and not having a real administrative order.

So Wei Xiuyuan said righteously.

"Old prince, it's not that I don't agree to you about this matter, it's really that I can't do it, you must know that the treasury silver of the household department is now very important to the people of the world, there is no treasury silver usually has a catastrophe, and the court has no silver rescue at all, and you then go to get this silver to spend all day drinking, don't think I don't know, you are a handful of old people, and you go to the green building all day long to bread girls, and invite all the Oiran to your own home, you said that you are really embarrassed to tell me that you will repay the silver of the household department in installments?"

Hearing Wei Xiuyuan say this, this old prince has never been insulted like this, you must know that he is also a royal family, how can he be so useless by a junior generation, at this time the old prince was full of anger.

When Su Xiaoman saw this, he was afraid that the old prince would faint here, so he immediately brought a cup of tea and touched the old prince's heart.

"Old prince, please don't be angry, Xiuyuan is young and ignorant, so he said such things, please forgive me."

Lu Li also hurriedly grabbed Wei Xiuyuan, to say that although his upright temperament is very good, but it is really hurtful to say this, the old prince has indeed done something that these people are angry about, but he is also an elder, if something happens to him, the emperor will definitely not let Wei Xiuyuan go.

Seeing that Wei Xiuyuan's attitude was so resolute, the old prince didn't want to say more to him, so he went back to his mansion directly.

After returning to his house, after thinking about it, he couldn't pay the 200,000 taels of silver anyway.

If Wei Xiuyuan stabbed the matter of not paying off his arrears in front of the emperor and in front of the civil and military officials, then what face would he have to stand on Donglan Kingdom.

But if he wants to sell his property like other officials, he will never be able to show his face, after all, this family has long developed a character of extravagance, and if he wants to change it at this time, how can he do it.

After pondering for a long time, he still decided to keep his dignity, and if he died, he would naturally not have to return the 200,000 taels.

So he asked his personal slave to find him a white silk, and the servant was naturally frightened when he heard the word white silk, so he asked cautiously.

”

The old prince naturally wouldn't say that he had already thought of dying.
