Chapter 273: Two Million Taels?

"Xiaobao!" As soon as Gu Wan entered Gu Chengyu's mansion, she went straight to Gu Chengyu's courtyard.

"Second sister, why are you here?" As soon as Gu Chengyu saw Gu Wan running in, as well as Sun Xian, Ye Zhiqiu and others, he knew that his second sister was worried about this matter.

"I just heard your brother-in-law talk about this, and I heard that your examiner has raided his house? Will it affect you? ”

Gu Wan took Gu Chengyu's hand, and she didn't care about the restless little bun in Sun Xian's hand, looking anxious.

Gu Chengyu saw Gu Wan's face full of eagerness, and his heart warmed slightly, "Don't worry!" It's okay, I didn't cheat on the exam, so it won't implicate me. ”

Gu Wan didn't understand the Tao here, Gu Chengyu said it was okay, and she believed it. Although she was still a little worried, she trusted Xiaobao very much.

From childhood to adulthood, Xiaobao didn't bother his family, as if anything could be solved in his hands.

"Don't worry! The maximum number of exams is enough. Gu Chengyu patted her shoulder and comforted.

Gu Wan was completely relieved when she heard this, "It's a pity to retake the exam, it's nine days in the exam room!" It took two days for your brother-in-law to recover! Alas! ”

Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu wanted to speak and stopped, Gu Chengyu glanced at them and signaled them with his eyes not to talk nonsense.

Saying it would only make Gu Wan more worried, and it was useless.

"Uncle! Embrace! As soon as Xiao Baozi saw Gu Chengyu, his eyes lit up, and a pair of wet eyes looked at Gu Chengyu, and his round apple face made Gu Chengyu's irritable mood calm down a lot.

No matter what big things happen, you should try your best to find a way and face it calmly, he is still a little impetuous.

"Isn't Xiao Baozi trying to play with Trojan horses? Let's go and play with my mother to Sister Lichun! ”

Gu Wan knew that Gu Chengyu and they had something to discuss, so she took the small bun from Sun Xian's hand and walked out of the courtyard.

"Seiyu! What are your plans for this? But what reliable news is coming? ”

Sun Xian and the others followed Gu Chengyu to the study, and after a long time, they saw that Gu Chengyu was silent, so they opened their mouths to break the peace.

"It's very complicated, I'm waiting for news from Mingmo and them. I'll tell you when it's confirmed, it's still my guess at this point. ”

Gu Chengyu planned to tell Sun Xian about this, after all, if he was interrogated, he would definitely be imprisoned in the prison first.

It was inconvenient for him to be inside, and he had to rely on Sun Xian and them to run for him.

Mingmo is just a subordinate after all, and sometimes it is not suitable to come forward.

Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu realized the seriousness of this matter, and it seemed that Chengyu was already preparing.

"Childe! Ding Jiu sent news that the Soldiers and Horses Division had searched and found a list in Wanfu, and the list was full of businessmen who bribed Wan Daren. Unexpectedly, the case of the bandits who participated in the wandering crime was also detected, and he was the mastermind of it. ”

Mingmo didn't know that Gu Chengyu had guessed correctly, and he was shocked when he received the news.

I didn't expect Wan Daren to do such a unconscionable thing.

"What?" Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu were also surprised, they didn't expect such a big matter to be involved?

So is this imperial examination fraud case a cover? Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu are not stupid, things have come to this point, and the true purpose has been revealed.

"Has the house confiscated the silver taels? What has been found in Lord Song's mansion? ”

Gu Chengyu felt that it was impossible for the eldest prince to spend such a large amount of blood, and the silver was missing, wouldn't it just prove that the silver was used in a shady place?

And Wan Xuenian naturally can't explain the whereabouts of this batch of silver, if the third prince has no countermeasures, then he can only be beaten passively. Perhaps, he can still start from the third prince.

"There is no excessive property, it is all the dowry of the ladies of Wanfu, and the Song Mansion has not found anything."

Gu Chengyu pondered, the most important thing in this matter is not the fraud case, he will become a victim of politics.

"Brother Sun, Senior Brother Ye, listen to me......"

Gu Chengyu asked Mingmo to stay and told his guess.

As soon as the few people finished speaking, Ming Yan entered the study.

"Childe! The people of the Terracotta Division went to several Zhuangzi at the same time, and Ding Liu sent someone back to report that it was too late. ”

Gu Chengyu had already expected this result, after all, it would take a lot of effort to determine the location of Zhuangzi in a hurry.

"Seiyu! So you mean to say that it is very likely that the eldest prince did this? ”

Sun Xian felt incredible, it was rumored that the eldest prince had a gloomy temperament, but there was nothing wrong with him on weekdays.

"Not bad! Originally, I was just suspicious, but the evidence of the bandit case was found in Wanfu, and Wan Xuenian and the eldest prince could not be an alliance. ”

In fact, this kind of means is not very clever, what the eldest prince did, is no one really knowing? can be in a high position in the officialdom, who doesn't have a few staff members in the house? How many people do you have to use?

The reason why the eldest prince has no fear is nothing more than that the previous bandit case did not leave any handle!

If Hu Maoqing hadn't pressed him tightly, the eldest prince would not have come up with such an idea. After all, there will always be some blood.

"Master Wan is the maternal grandfather of the Third Prince, and since the birth of the Third Prince, he has been tied to him, how can he betray the Third Prince?" Ye Zhiqiu also analyzed.

As he spoke, he suddenly thought, "The purpose of the eldest prince is to bring down the third prince?" ”

Ye Zhiqiu shuddered, there were only four princes, and the fourth prince was weak, if the third prince was brought down, then only the second prince would be left.

It is said that the royal family has no family affection, and for the sake of the throne, the brothers have to fight to the death.

Although the current emperor has obtained the edict of the previous emperor, he has not stepped on the corpse of his brother to win the throne?

"So to speak."

Gu Chengyu was a little uneasy at the moment, it stands to reason that the court meeting should be over at this time, why hasn't the senior brother returned home yet?

Guo Shi's situation is very dangerous, Gu Chengyu is afraid that someone can't help it, and as soon as he leaves the palace, he will take Guo Shi's life.

Taihe Palace, the emperor was furious, "You mean that you have found out the evidence of the crime committed by the bandits back then?" ”

"Emperor Qiqi, among the letters found in Wanfu, I found some lists and lists. The list shows the amount of gold and silver obtained from each interception of the caravan, totaling more than two million taels. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

"Two million taels? Wan Xuenian really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall. ”

The court exploded instantly, and everyone was whispering.

Xia Qing's eyelids lifted, and then glanced at the third prince.

This is the news that Kuang Zhaoying, the secretary of Dali Temple, just got, when the soldiers and horses raided Wanfu, he had handed over the letter and the list to Dali Temple.

"What about the gold and silver?" The emperor's hand on the armrest of the dragon chair was clenched into a fist.

Now that the treasury is empty, even he, the emperor, has to cut back on food and clothing, this year of ten thousand snows is really hateful. This is the grass and the lives of the people, and those merchants are all his people.

The emperor's sharp eyes were like sharp arrows, shooting towards the three princes.
