Zhao Chengyuan ate the glutinous rice osmanthus cake unhurriedly, he glanced at Zhao Chen, "Zhaoping doesn't give much osmanthus cake, so this king won't entertain you."

Zhao Chen retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Uncle Huang doesn't have to be polite."

He changed his words, "What does Uncle Huang mean by asking Zhaoping to wait patiently?"

Zhao Chengyuan ate osmanthus cake and smiled silently.

Zhao Chen looked at him secretively, and he had doubts in his heart.

Now, although the Marquis of Yongping has been detained, he is not locked up in Dali Temple, but in the edict controlled by the Imperial Forest Army, which is considered to be under the nose of his father. The father even bypassed the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and directly sent the king of Chengjun to lead the imperial forest army to the Yongping Marquis Mansion to find evidence.

What evidence can there be in the palace of the Marquis of Yongping, the father clearly intends to make a show, perfunctory to the courtiers, and then let the Marquis Yongping go without any evidence.

Even if King Chengjun finds out something and whether it is announced to the public, the initiative is in the hands of his father.

His mind moved, "If there are enough silver taels in the Yongping Marquis Mansion, that is evidence...... Uncle Huang wants his father to raid the Yongping Marquis Mansion?"

Yongping Hou can hold silver for Da Zhou, and even more for himself, his family property must be rich.

When my father saw it, it was inevitable that he would not be moved.

The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, why can't Yongping Hou become the hunting dog that was cooked?

Zhao Chengyuan was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically, "How much silver does the prince think can make the imperial brother make up his mind to raid the house?"

Zhao Chen pondered for a moment, "The Marquis of Yongping gave his father should be about 10,000 taels. The Chen family can pay a tax of two million taels of silver every year, and for this more than 10 million taels, the father can tolerate the Marquis of Yongping killing chickens and eggs. If the silver in the hands of the Marquis of Yongping could cover 10,000 taels, it would be enough to make his father murderous. But...... I'm afraid that the Marquis of Yongping doesn't have so much silver."

No matter how corrupt he is, he can't save the family wealth from the treasury in the second half of the year, right?

Zhao Chengyuan said in a casual voice, "The crown prince still underestimates the ability of the Marquis of Yongping, the extra silver he collects for the emperor in a year is more than two million taels, and his role is much greater than that of the Chen family. Even if 30 million taels were found in his house, the emperor was not necessarily willing to kill him. After all, if he is convicted, not only will he not be able to pick up eggs in the future, but the more than 10 million taels that the emperor will have to spit out."

Zhao Chen lowered his eyebrows and pondered.

Yongping Hou has already entered the edict, no matter what, he can't be allowed to turn over again.

Otherwise, there will be no chance to bring him down in the future.

Zhao Chengyuan swallowed the osmanthus cake and reached into the box again, frowning, "I've already eaten four?"

He looked at the brass hand stove inside and reached out for it.

The hand stove is still hot, the whole is plum blossom-shaped, and the lid is embossed with a plum blossom pattern, which is very small, and he can hold it with one hand.

Thinking about the little girl's two white and tender little chubby hands holding it, she felt cute and tight. But......

He frowned, "This stove isn't delicate enough. Luo Ping, you go to the storehouse to look for it, pick a few exquisite and beautiful ones, and send them to Zhaoping."

"Yes!"

Before leaving, Luo Ping glanced at the copper hand stove that the prince wrapped in his palm, obviously a little bit he couldn't put down.

This is exquisite enough, don't you want to return the county lord?

Zhao Chen's eyes successfully cooled.

He got up and arched his hand, "Uncle Huang is busy, and my nephew has stepped back."

Zhao Chenshen walked out of the Jin Palace, and saw Changshi Liang Zhong coming quickly.

Liang Zhong jumped off his horse and walked quickly to Zhao Chen's side, and said in a low voice, "Prince, King Chengjun found more than 23 million taels of silver, more than 1 million taels of gold, and some jewels, calligraphy and paintings in the Yongping Marquis Mansion. He has just entered the palace to report to the emperor."

Although this was good news for him, Zhao Chen's face was still angry, and he sneered, "The appetite is really big enough, and the Great Zhou treasury is not as much as his silver!"

He turned over and got on his horse, looked back at the majestic Jin Palace, and doubts appeared in his eyes.

The Seventh Emperor Uncle actually found out the details of Yongping Hou's family assets.

And what is even more terrifying is that it seems that from the moment the Seventh Emperor Uncle ordered the city gate to be closed, every step was within his calculations.

The people and students made trouble, the old ministers were impeached, and the emperor thought about raiding the Yongping Marquis Mansion......

predicting events and calculating people's hearts is worthy of being the uncle of the Seven Emperors.

When Zhao Chen rushed to the palace, Emperor Qingming was furious.

His face was covered with rain, and he gritted his teeth and roared, "Good you Wimberstone! Equivalent to more than 30 million taels of silver, more than a year of treasury revenue! I've been busy working for half my life, and I don't even have any money like him!"

Thinking that a few days ago, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for thirteen million taels of silver, and this was not enough to catch up with half of the silver in Wen Boshi's hand.

It's ridiculous, it's humiliating!

No wonder the Seventh Emperor Brother also thinks that he is pitiful as the emperor, it is really pitiful and pathetic!

Seeing that Emperor Qingming was almost roaring, King Chengjun presented a jeweled golden hairpin and said, "Your Majesty, there are one million taels of gold, two million taels of silver, and several large boxes of jewels. Look at this hairpin, there is the mark of the Chen family silver building on it. I'm afraid that even Governor Hu doesn't know about these gold, silver, and jewelry."

Emperor Qingming held the golden hairpin tightly, the green tendons in his hands burst out, and his face became more and more dark and terrifying, like a hurricane sweeping away.

One million taels of gold is converted into ten million taels of silver, although he guessed that Yongping Hou would keep some, but in the case of breaking his wealth and saving his life, he actually left half of it for himself!

The eunuchs in the imperial study were all silent, kneeling on the ground and not daring to breathe.

Emperor Qingming walked briskly back and forth in the imperial study, and when he saw Zhao Chen standing on the side, he pointed at him and said, "You took the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple, together with the king of Chengjun, to carefully search the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and you can't miss an inch!" All the family members in the house are in prison!"

Zhao Chen arched his hand and said, "Erchen obeys the order!"

Emperor Qingming suddenly paused, squinting at Zhao Chen, "You had guessed that the Marquis of Yongping had so much silver?"

Zhao Chen's heart sank when he heard this, he shouldn't have entered the palace in such a hurry.

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly found that he had fallen for the Seventh Emperor Uncle.

When Uncle Seven Emperor said that, it was clear that he was brought into the palace!

And he was afraid that his father would not deal with the Marquis of Yongping, thinking that he might be able to add fuel to the fire......

And now if you force an explanation, you will inevitably fall behind.

He sighed secretly and said in a deep voice, "Erchen doesn't know. If the retainers had known about this, they should have asked for a search from the beginning."

King Chengjun couldn't help but slander, from the time he found out that the prince of Zhenguo and Liao Yuansi had dinner together at noon that day, the emperor suspected that you were setting up a game. But now that you are so impatient to rush over, the emperor doesn't suspect who you suspect?

If you push the suspicion on King Jin at this time, how much can the emperor believe you?

Emperor Qingming looked at him for a moment and said, "Go ahead."
