And in the imperial study in the palace, Emperor Wanli was already waiting like crazy! He had already received news that the convoy would arrive today, and he also knew that there was a sum of two million taels of silver in the convoy that would go into the inner treasury, and a large number of rare treasures would be sent at the same time! These are all the boutiques that Liu Haojia picked out from the homes of those salt merchants and officials! Therefore, when he first received the request of the Marquis of Wu Ning, he immediately said loudly, "Spread the rumor! Let him come in quickly, I have something to ask him!"

Wait for Liu Haojia to rush to the study. Before he was rude, he heard Emperor Wanli shout menacingly: "Liu Liuqing's family, why did you sell the Night Pearl? Shouldn't this good treasure be sent to me? Do you still have me in your eyes?"

Liu Haojia was unmoved when he heard this, and after meticulously giving a salute, he knelt there and said, "Long live Lord, the minister has an explanation for this matter!"

Emperor Wanli patted the table angrily and said, "What else do you have to explain? This kind of treasure doesn't want to give it to me, but you take it out for silver! Are you just that little bit of silver?"

Liu Haojia didn't speak, just took out a document from his arms and raised his hands above his head. The little eunuch next to him immediately took it and sent it to Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli froze for a moment when he saw this, and then he flipped through the pages of the book angrily. I'll give you a good look after reading it first!

But as he flipped through the paperwork, his anger disappeared a lot! This document is naturally the situation of the successive holders of the Night Pearl! The miserable scene described above finally calmed down Emperor Wanli! When he was finished, he said, "All right, get up and speak!"

When Liu Haojia stood up, Emperor Wanli slowed down his tone and said, "You sold the Night Pearl because you were afraid that something would happen to me like these unlucky ghosts, didn't you?"

Liu Haojia bowed down and said, "Long live the wisdom of the lord, that's what the minister thinks! That night pearl is obviously a bad thing, and you can't enter the palace!"

Emperor Wanli squirmed his lips twice and then suddenly said, "I don't believe it! I am the Son of Heaven and the Lord of the World! Where are my blessings comparable to those few people! That pearl of the night is an evil thing, and I can suppress it!"

Liu Haojia hurriedly said, "Long live what Lord said is true! It's just that the minister thought, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens! And even if you are fine, you are not alone! If other people are harmed by that evil thing, will it not be detrimental to the peace in the palace?"

When Emperor Wanli heard this, he slapped the table and said, "You are quibbling! I ask you, who did you sell that pearl of the night to? Send someone to raid his house at once and bring back the Night Pearl to me!"

Liu Haojia still bowed down and said, "Long live Lord, this matter must not be allowed! The person who bought the Night Pearl also really paid the money, and he couldn't raid his house for no reason because of this incident! Doing so will hurt the love of the people!"

Emperor Wanli pointed at Liu Haojia and said loudly, "You don't fool me! I'm not a three-year-old kid, I'll let you lie to you by saying a few words! I want that pearl of the night now, what do you say?"

At this moment, a eunuch outside reported, "Long live the lord, Miss Zijuan has arrived, she asks to see the long live lord!"

Liu Haojia breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he knew that this must be the arrival of the rescuers! Because he asked himself to quietly send a letter to Empress Dowager Li a long time ago, explaining the situation of the Night Pearl, which was used at this time! 「

After Zijuan came in to give a salute, he said with a smile: "Long live Lord, the slave maid came to invite Long Live Lord and Wu Ninghou to go to the palace to talk on the order of Niangniang. 「

Emperor Wanli tugged at his sleeves and said, "I wonder what happened to the Queen Mother who let me pass? 「

Zijuan shook her head and said, "This slave doesn't know! But I heard the mother say something like a night pearl, and the slave next to me didn't know! 「

Emperor Wanli glared at Liu Haojia fiercely when he heard this, and he was both angry and proud! I was annoyed that Liu Haojia didn't send the night pearl over, and I was worried about the queen mother! It's proud that the queen mother has come forward, and I see how you prevaricate me!

So Emperor Wanli said triumphantly, "Okay, since the queen mother summons us, Liu Qing's family will follow!"

After saying that, Emperor Wanli got up and went out, and Liu Haojia naturally followed him out when he heard this. But when he left, he was still reaching out to take the paperwork on the table back and carrying it in his arms. Purple Juan although look

arrived, but his mouth was silent. Palace people like him know best when to speak and when not to speak.

The group soon came to the Empress Dowager Li's bedroom. Several people stepped forward to greet the Queen Mother. Emperor Wanli sat down with a relaxed salute, but Liu Haojia didn't get the instructions of the Empress Dowager Li, so he could only kneel there upright.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Wanli was even more happy, and felt that the Night Pearl was not far away! I only heard Empress Dowager Li say slowly: "Wu Ninghou, the mourning family heard that you got a night pearl in the south of the Yangtze River. It can shine all over the room! Is this true?"

Liu Haojia hung his head and said honestly, "Back to the Queen Mother, it's indeed true! The Night Pearl was about fifteen minutes in size, shining brightly, and could read papers within two steps."

Hear this. Everyone including the other palace maids and eunuchs gasped! Where is this pearl of the night? This is clearly the treasure of the whole country!

Empress Dowager Li glanced at the gaffe crowd and quieted them down, then turned her head and said, "That mourner asks you, where is that night pearl now?"

Liu Haojia still said honestly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the minister sold the Night Pearl. It was sold for eight thousand taels of silver."

Empress Dowager Li slapped the table and said sharply, "You actually sold this kind of treasure that can be handed down, and it was only sold for eight thousand taels of silver!" Not to mention the matter of silver, how can such a treasure not be dedicated to the royal family? Do you still have royalty in your heart?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Liu Haojia with sympathetic eyes. In this case, it is easy and pleasant to put a big disrespectful hat on him! So in their opinion, Wu Ninghou, who has always been favored, is afraid that he will suffer a big loss this time!

At this time, Liu Haojia said loudly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the minister has a love to return!"

Empress Dowager Li squinted her eyes and said, "Then you can come up with a trick and see what tricks you can come up with?" If you can't tell, just watch your skin! Don't think that if you are a commander, the mourning family will not be able to clean you up!"

When Liu Haojia heard this, he immediately said, "Queen Mother, the minister has no choice but to sell the Night Pearl! That bead is an ominous thing, and it must never be sent to the palace!" ap.

After speaking, he took out the paperwork from his bosom and raised his hands above his head. Zijuan stepped forward to take the paperwork and handed it to the Empress Dowager Li. Empress Dowager Li took the document and looked through it carefully, and after reading the document for a while, she said, "Liu Aiqing, are all the things said in this document true?"
