Chapter 396: The Prince's Own Iniquity
"Father, son-in-law and the third child have found out that the batch of counterfeit coins flowed out of the hands of the prince, and the three copper coin boxes he carried that day were all real and fake, and we found the person who carried the box for interrogation, and they all said ......"
Yan Huaiyi was reporting to the emperor, and he seemed to hesitate about something.
The emperor frowned, and he didn't like his second son to always show off: "If you want to say it, what kind of system does your mother-in-law and mother have." ”
Yan Huaiyi choked, and said neatly: "They said that the prince lied, and the box was not carried out of the East Palace at all, but in an inconspicuous mansion in Hongfeng Lane. ”
He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wrapped in something, and was about to present it to the emperor, and as soon as the emperor raised his chin, Gonggong Xue took it from him and placed it on the table in front of the emperor.
It's a copper coin.
"There are a lot of copper coins scattered on the ground, and Erchen picked one back, compared with the counterfeit money recovered by the third child, there is no difference, it can be determined that the house is specially used to make counterfeit money, and the prince has nothing to do with it."
Yan Huaiyi was afraid that the emperor would deliberately protect the prince, so he looked at Yan Suizhi, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea by himself, and said: "The third child went with his son, he can testify, and the son did not mean to slander." ”
The emperor also glanced at Yan Suizhi, and said meaninglessly: "Really? ”
Yan Suizhi put down the teacup, smacked his lips, and didn't taste any taste of this tea, it was astringent, not what he liked: "It was Erchen who went with the second emperor brother, but Erchen is a person who arrived, and he didn't do anything, and the search was all the credit of the second emperor brother." ”
Yan Huaiyi was slightly happy, only thinking that Yan Suizhi didn't want to compete with him, he was really conscientious in the investigation, and he made great efforts, just to let the emperor look down on him, and he was particularly pleased with Yan Suizhi's knowledge of current affairs.
In fact, the emperor can't quite figure it out, why the prince who is raised by his side is still passable, and the other sons are really stupid in their own ways, and they were arranged by Yan Suizhi to go around, could it be that he really let the smartest one out?
"Second brother, do you want to say that the person who made the counterfeit money is the prince?"
The Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Erchen just thinks that everything is too coincidental, the prince has a good relationship with the gambling house, not to mention, something happened, the gambling house was closed, the prince took out the money from the gambling house and returned it to the people, but the result was not settled wave after wave, and the money he took out was counterfeit."
"Erchen interrogated the people around him, and he searched all the way to the house, and Erchen learned that it was an underground bank, and there were many people who came here to borrow debts, and some of the lists were not taken away, and they fell, and there were several ministers who were also involved."
Yan Huaiyi took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, it was the list of debts, and Gonggong Xue showed it to the emperor, and the emperor lowered his eyelashes, unable to distinguish between joy and anger.
"I know, let's go down first."
Yan Huaiyi was not satisfied with this result, and wanted to say more, but he saw that Gonggong Xue had already come over and looked like a send-off, and he was also a little afraid of his father, so he didn't say anything.
Yan Suizhi tidied up his wide sleeves, stood up leisurely and walked out, and heard the emperor say, "Suizhi, you stay for a while." ”
He sat back again, and Yan Huaiyi realized that the few steps he walked were not far from the stool at all, as if he knew that he would be stopped from the beginning, but Yan Suizhi is really such a god, I'm afraid it was his delusion.
As soon as the people left, the emperor laughed, and in the empty hall, it was especially gloomy.
"You did it."
The emperor was determined.
Yan Suizhi didn't seem to understand what he was talking about, so he raised his eyelids and looked at the emperor, and asked absently: "I don't know what my father said." ”
"I didn't ask the prince to build the gambling house, I didn't ask Qintian to identify the date of the next hire, and I didn't let the gambling house do it to bet on the dowry between me and the prince, but I just took advantage of the trend and earned tens of thousands of taels of pocket money."
"The people are making trouble because they feel that they have been deceived and want to get it back, and it is an order from his father to let the prince come forward, and it is also his own decision to fool the people with fake money, and this incident has nothing to do with me."
Yan Suizhi's appearance was even more beautiful, faintly revealing a bit of demonism, he smiled and said, "Does my father want me to be clearer?" ”
