Before the last rays of the sunset faded, Xia Yuan's business partner gave him a big gift.

A pawn ticket, and a silver deed.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the chair next to him, looking very excited, and showing off, "Master, how is it?" Bengong does what he says, the silver has been gathered, and it has multiplied several times.

Although the money has not yet arrived, the owner of the pawnshop said that the silver will be ready in three days, and then take the silver deed to get it. ”

"When you get the silver, you leave me five thousand taels, and we will use the rest for business, the scale will be bigger, let's become bigger and stronger."

Xia Yuan didn't have the heart to listen to him at this time, his heart was like planting a creeper, and there was an ominous premonition spreading wildly, and then he frowned and asked, "Where did you get the inkstone and paperweight, which can be used as 55,000 taels?" ”

Faced with this question, Zhu Houzhao stopped squeaking, and said after a while: "Oh, I took it out of the palace." ”

"Palace? Which palace? East Palace? ”

“.”

After some long silence, Zhu Houzhao said vaguely: "Qianqing Palace." ”

Hearing these three words, Xia Yuan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, what kind of place is the Qianqing Palace, that stepping horse is the emperor's bedroom.

Other words

"The inkstone and paperweight you were the emperor's?!"

"Hmm"

He also stepped on the horse and admitted it with a face.

This time I really want to be calmed down by this dog prince, the situation is likely not to reach this level, maybe this thing asked the emperor.

"This inkstone and paperweight weren't stolen, right?"

"Why, this is taken by Hongu." Zhu Houzhao's face was pure, paused, and added: "It's just that my father was not there when I took it." ”

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again, "Then don't you steal it if you don't step on the horse?!" ”

"Master, what you say is really ugly, this palace has thought about it, this palace is the crown prince, the future emperor, these things of the father and the emperor will definitely be left to the palace in the future, which is equivalent to saying that these are actually the things of the palace, and the palace takes its own things, how can this be called stealing?"

Xia Yuan sneered again and again, "It's really good, logical and self-justified, when you get to the emperor, you will say this to him." ”

I knew before that this unlucky child was a pit, and I hadn't seen him for more than two months, so it was inevitable that he would relax his vigilance a little, but he was taken and jumped into the pit by a flicker.

It's still a big pit, no, it's just an abyss for stepping on a horse.

"I hope that when the minister is punished, His Royal Highness can also use this righteous and bold appearance to reason with the emperor."

"Master, what are you talking about?" Zhu Houzhao's brows furrowed, feeling that he didn't like this at all.

"This palace is a righteous person, even if my father tortures you to extract a confession, I will never confess to you."

"Really?"

"That's natural, no one can betray you if this palace betrays you, so you don't need to worry about it, master. Besides, I just gave it to the pawn, and I didn't sell it, which is equivalent to letting the pawnshop help keep it first, and when I earn the money, I can go over and redeem the thing. ”

Xia Yuan couldn't help sneering again, "Heh, if you have 55,000 taels of silver, you have to use 70,000 taels or 15,000 taels of storage fees for redemption, and Your Highness's storage fee is really high." ”

"It's okay, when the redemption is due, this palace will bring more people."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan instantly understood the meaning of this goods, it was nothing more than to bring more people, bring a few more knives, and when the redemption came, a handful of embroidered spring knives with bright and shining cold light were put on the neck of the pawnshop owner.

This dog prince is not only a cheat, but also a scumbag.

After being speechless for a long time, Zhu Houzhao scratched his head, leaned over slightly and asked, "Master, selling white sugar must make a lot of money, right?" ”

"Scared?"

"How is that possible? How can Hongu be afraid, Hongu is to ask"

said so, but Zhu Houzhao was actually a little uneasy in his heart, otherwise he would not have stolen five things, but only became two relatively cheapest.

and if they all deserve, they must have at least 150,000 taels of silver.

He is quite bold, but not to the point of being a dog's guts, and more than 100,000 taels of silver is a terrifying amount for him.

And Zhu Houzhao is also afraid that Quan should go out, and when the business fails, and the things can't be redeemed, then he really can't think of what his father will do to him.

Now you should only go out of two things, and when you return to the palace, you will return the other three things, and then wait for the money you have earned, and redeem those two things, which is equivalent to nothing.

Zhu Houzhao felt that his thinking was really comprehensive and appropriate.

"What if I say I can't make money?"

"Can't make it?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly: "How can you not earn it, you can definitely earn a lot of silver, I believe in the master." ”

“.” Xia Yuan ignored him, holding two thin pieces of contract paper and making it a little difficult, according to his original idea, he first took out 10,000 taels of silver from his own house, and most of them may be used to buy land, build factories, and recruit workers.

The rest of the silver is used to buy raw materials, but it is estimated that it will not be able to buy much, because there are still a few shops to be built, in short, the ones that are picked and searched are sold first, and then the scale is expanded little by little.

But with these 50,000 taels, the initial scale can be expanded several times.

It's a real hard choice.

After thinking for a long time, Xia Yuan asked, "Your Highness really won't betray your ministers?" ”

Zhu Houzhao hated to slap his chest with a shocking sound, "Absolutely not!" ”

Seeing this, Xia Yuan gritted his teeth, "Okay! The minister will believe you once. ”

Although this unlucky child is a real pit goods, it is still worthy of recognition in terms of morality.

———————————————————

The watchman struck two bangs on the streets of the capital, accompanied by the sound of gongs, indicating the arrival of the second watch.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao also took a few entourages and took a human ladder to climb over the towering palace wall of Dong'an Gate and enter the scope of the imperial city.

I didn't encounter any nets, only the guards patrolling around, and I was caught several times during the period, but as long as I showed my identity, I would pass unimpeded.

I arrived at the boundary of Zhan Shifu without danger, and then took a human ladder to climb over the palace wall of Zhan Shifu.

It was only at this point that he managed to slip in.

At the time of the two watches, that is, at about nine o'clock in the evening, the large and small palaces in the East Palace had already turned on the lights, stepped into the palace gate, and Zhu Houzhao went straight to his dormitory, Ciqing Palace.

But when he was really about to arrive at Ciqing Palace, his footsteps stopped again, because he saw that the people kneeling outside the hall were all facing the direction of Ciqing Palace, and inside Ciqing Palace, there was an extremely familiar figure.

Seeing this figure, Zhu Houzhao neither resisted stubbornly, nor did he turn around and run, but directly confessed, walked straight over and knelt at the door of the hall.

Zhu Youzhu lowered his eyes and glanced at him, never mentioning the theft of the Warm Pavilion, "Go back to the palace in the middle of the night, let me, the emperor, stand here and wait for you for two hours, let me come in." ”

"Oh."

Zhu Hou responded, stood up from the ground, and then carried the cloth bag into Ciqing Palace with a frown.
