Chapter 73: Things Exposed
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, feeling that this sentence was familiar, how could it be exactly the same as what Zhu Wen said?
Zhu Wen was also interested, and said: "I am also an old acquaintance with Dingguo Gong, I also want to hear about this matter, so Ding Guogong will talk about it directly." β
"I promise that I will not reveal anything to the outside world."
When Zhang Xun heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.
This Zhu Wen, why can't he understand the good words?
He was obviously driving people away, and he was still begging to stay.
It's really... I don't have the eyesight to see it.
However, the stakes are very high, and he no longer hides it, and speaks directly: "Your Majesty, the golden silk robe you rewarded to the minister last time, he... Lost. β
"Lost?" When Emperor Jing Xing heard this, his tone couldn't help but rise a few notches.
This is a gift from the emperor, and if you lose it, you won't be killed to apologize, but it's also a big sin.
Besides, Zhang Xun has always been a safe person, how could he make such a mistake?
"How did you lose it? Let's take it personally. β
"Was... was taken to the black market by the rebel son of the minister. β
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
When Emperor Jing Xing and Zhu Wen heard this, they all exclaimed in surprise.
"Your son also stole the family's belongings to sell?" Jingxing Emperor Road.
Also? Zhang Xun heard the implication: "Could it be that there are others?" β
When Zhu Wen heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Who else can there be, isn't it Zhu Ben's unfilial son." β
"I am more and more bold every time, this time I stole 100,000 taels of silver, and even the two purple dove trees at the gate of the Hou Mansion in Yangcheng were dug up and sold."
"Zhang Han is similar, he took 120,000 taels of silver before and after." Zhang Xun sighed and said.
When Zhu Wen heard this, his heart suddenly felt a lot better.
120,000 taels! is 20,000 taels more than Zhu Ben's rebel.
Fortunately, it's okay, my own one is not the most loser.
"Also to do business with Li Changkong?" Emperor Jing Xing asked.
"Your Majesty, how do you know?" Zhang Xun was surprised again, but turned his head to look at Zhu Wen on the side, and his heart suddenly understood.
The 100,000 taels of silver that Zhu Ben stole is estimated to have gone to Li Changkong.
"The sum of the silver of the two of you is as much as 200,000 taels, what kind of business do you need to use such a large amount of silver?" Emperor Jing Xing was also amazed, and said: "But it's still the same sentence, Li Changkong and the children of the two of you are willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer." β
"I haven't violated any of the big rules, and I can't blame them."
"If you want the money back, then just go, I won't comment."
"But to put it bluntly, it's also your family matter, don't take it to the palace next time."
"Obey." The Dingguo Mansion has a big business, Zhang Xun is not here to feel sorry for the money, but he lost the golden clothes, and he came to ask for sin, and now the saint is not to blame.
Zhu Wen is different, he came here completely because he was distressed about the 100,000 taels of silver.
"Then stand down." Emperor Jing Xing waved his hand, wanting to give an order to evict the guest.
However, before the eviction order was over, Zheng Ying, who was waiting outside the palace gate, came in again and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Jia asks to see you." β
"Hey, it's really a strange thing today, didn't you make an appointment to come? Come in, I want to see if it's because of the silver. β
After a while, Jia Pingsheng walked in, and after seeing Zhu Wen and Zhang Xun, he was also a little surprised.
"Jia Gong, don't talk yet, let me guess!" Before Jia Pingsheng could speak, Zhu Wen took the lead.
"Is the family's money gone?"
"No, it's that some calligraphy and paintings that have been treasured for many years are all gone."
"It's the same, it's the same, and when it comes to the black market, it's all white silver."
"Did your son-in-law take it? The amount is not small, if it is exchanged for silver, it will be about 100,000 taels? β
"Shhh Jia Pingsheng gasped, and said in his heart that this Zhu Wen didn't look very smart on weekdays, and he was naΓ―ve, but now he was like a roundworm in his stomach, and he guessed his mind in general.
"It's probably so much, how does the Marquis of Yangcheng know?"
"Naturally, my family's rebel son also stole the family's belongings and sold them."
Emperor Jing Xing listened to the conversation of everyone under the steps, and was speechless.
My Jingxing was not bad for a while, not to mention the peace of the country and the people, but at least the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was not buried that they had been diligent and diligent for more than ten years.
How come it is that when I get to the minister and the noble, all the children in the family are like this?
Although it's your own property, it's really not a good act to pick it up without asking, and if it's only one person, there are still people who say it.
But now that all three of them are like this, the problem is a bit bigger.
Could it be that there is something wrong with the morning wind of Jingxing, right?
Emperor Jing Xing rubbed his eyebrows, felt a little irritable, and said: "I still say the same thing, don't take the family affairs to the court, if you want to go to Li Changkong to repay the money, you can go." β
After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand back.
Zhang Xun, Zhu Wen, and Jia Pingsheng glanced at each other, all helpless.
The key thing is that there are thousands of mistakes, and they are all wrong with their own children.
Li Changkong didn't use a machete to force your child to give him silver, it was your child's willingness!
Who is going to reason with this?
I don't have to say!
No matter how big the emperor is, he can't control such a ridiculous thing.
After the people had departed, the temple of manna fell silent.
It's just that Emperor Jing Xing was disturbed like this, but he was a little unintentional to review the chapters.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned Zheng Ying to his side and asked, "How is the mounting, the prince's "Mountains and Rivers Society Map"? After such a long time, it should be a little eyebrow-raising. β
When Zheng Ying heard this, he frowned, and replied rather distressedly: "These days, there has been no news of the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" in the East Palace. β
"No news?"
"Nope!" Zheng Ying answered categorically, all the big and small things in this palace can't hide from the eyes of him, the head of the palace.
So he said no, most likely no!
Hearing such an answer, Emperor Jing Xing remembered the three Qing families and the prince's stubborn temperament on weekdays, and his heart immediately chuckled.
"I remember that you said some time ago that the prince and Li Changkong have a very close relationship, right?"
"That's what the slave said." Zheng Ying was sweating profusely, and obviously realized something.
"Check! Now I will go to the East Palace to check if the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" is still there! β
"If you're not here, just send that rebel to me."
"No!"
Emperor Jing Xing could be described as angry, but after speaking, he realized that something was wrong.
No matter how stubborn the prince is, he is the prince after all.
"Mountains and Rivers Society Map" symbolizes the world again, if it is really taken by the prince and sold, and then make this matter known to everyone, then... Where does the prince's face exist?
Where is the royal face?
"That's it, if you're not there, don't make a noise, just come back and report it." Thinking of this, Emperor Jing Xing changed his words.
