Jin Shangshu had already knelt on the ground. Only now did he understand that what the third prince said - 'Let you call the sky and the earth to be unresponsive' was not just talk. Now his head was buzzing, completely
He couldn't think of a way. When he was transporting the money that night, he was afraid that others would find out, so he used only his cronies, and he later disposed of them all. Now he can't even find anyone who can identify the third prince...
Emperor Danxu was furious. With such a large amount of money being transferred and exploited at every level, it was normal for him to lose three to five hundred thousand taels. After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, so he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes.
He pretended not to know. However, this Jin Shangshu took advantage of the courage of a bear and a leopard. Half of his money was withheld by him before it left the capital...
"Jin Baoyuan, you are so brave!" Emperor Danxu was certainly not stupid to be able to sit on this dragon chair. Such a large sum of money, even with Jin Baoyuan's ability, could not be transported even if he was greedy. "Yes
Who instructed you to embezzle official funds?"
Emperor Danxu did not yell for death as soon as he came up. Jin Baoyuan was in the open. Whether to kill or behead him all depends on his mood. It is more important to dig out the talents behind the scenes. With so much money, the plot must be big.
Jin Shangshu couldn't express the pain in his heart. He wanted to identify the third prince directly, but he didn't have any evidence. Moreover, he had been close to Prince Yun and the prince before. If he identified the third prince without evidence, the emperor must think that
He was ordered by the prince.
Now a third prince would make his whole family guilty; if the prince was involved and Prince Yun was offended...it would probably implicate the nine clans.
Jin Shang's writing was ashen, and his lips trembled as he said: "Weichen... really... don't know anything..."
If the murderous intention in Emperor Danxu's eyes was real, he even said that he was "instructed by others" to leave a way for his family to survive. Jin Baoyuan actually refused to say anything! He took his salary, but told others
If you are so loyal, you deserve to be executed!
"The criminal Jin Baoyuan will be detained in Tianlao, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Yushitai, and the 'Three Laws Division' will work together to handle the case!" Emperor Danxu didn't believe it, and the three divisions still couldn't figure it out after a joint review.
"I am waiting for you to receive the order." The Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Imperial Censor, and the Minister of Dali Temple came out to receive the order.
After Jin Baoyuan was escorted away, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief. If Jin Shangshu identified himself in front of all civil and military officials, even if there was no evidence, he would have to avoid suspicion in the case, and it would be even harder to deal with it. Even now,
Even if there was a chance to retrieve the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin from Jin Shangshu, he wanted to try it.
There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Si Haochen's lips. He had underestimated the third prince. He was able to pick himself off so cleanly. He was considered a talent. Si Haochen raised his hand and put his left hand behind his back.
Chu Chenzhou, the young minister of Dali Temple, came out and said: "I have my own original intention to report."
"Correct." Emperor Danxu responded in a deep voice.
Everyone was secretly taking a look at this young and promising young minister of Dali Temple. Chu Chenzhou was extremely capable in handling cases. Emperor Danxu had awarded him many awards, and he had a vague tendency to be the emperor's confidant.
However, the emperor's anger was clearly still lingering, and no one among the courtiers dared to point their guns at him. This Master Chu was really - confident.
"Yesterday Wei Chen received a tip that someone was using official silver in Luo City. Wei Chen has sent his subordinates to investigate." Chu Chenzhou continued, "I just heard about the case of Jin Shangshu. Wei Chen is afraid that he will be related to this case. Please ask
The emperor allowed Wei Chen to go to Luo City in person to supervise the case."
When the third prince heard Chu Chenzhou's words, his hair stood up - it was really a secret. Official silver was mainly used for military pay, official salary, and construction in various places. In order to ensure the safety during transportation, all silver ingots were marked.
After being shipped to various places, it needs to be re-smelted and poured. It is a serious crime for ordinary people to use official silver directly.
Many bandits and road thieves robbed official silver and squandered it in various places but were arrested and brought to justice because they directly used official silver.
It’s just that those wild and wild men fell here, but he, the noble prince, did the same, and he was still laughed to death!
After working hard for a long time, he only got 50,000 to 60,000 silver, which was not as much as the 2 taels of silver he had managed to get out. The third prince was so angry that he deliberately planned to kill the Minister of Gold, but he ignored this matter. I am afraid that those under him will
Idiot, just took the official silver and used it...
If others were to investigate, he was confident that he would cover up the matter. But Chu Chenzhou was not only good at investigating cases, but he was also very skillful... He only hoped that his father would not allow Chu Chenzhou to go to Luo City to investigate the case.
"Accurate..." Emperor Danxu groaned.
This morning was full of troubles, so Emperor Danxu decided to make himself happy. He looked at Si Haochen, who rarely came to court, and asked, "How is the investigation of the assassination of the Ninth Emperor, Prince, and Fourth Prince?"
Si Haochen covered up the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth and replied with a serious face: "We already have a clue, and the results will be available in a day or two."
"The Nine Emperor Brothers are indeed capable. I am very pleased." This result did not make Emperor Danxu happy, and he said the last four words with gritted teeth.
Zhang Jinliang saw that the emperor had a bad look on his face, so he hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "I'll leave the court if there's no problem."
Even with the emperor's dark expression, no one would rush to cause trouble without the urgent military situation. There was silence under the Danqi, and Zhang Jinliang shouted: "Retreat from the court~"
Everyone knelt down and paid tribute to Emperor Danxu. A corner of Emperor Danxu's bright yellow dragon robe could still be seen, so Si Haochen took the lead to leave. The third prince followed closely behind him. He needed to deal with the official silver issue in Luocheng as soon as possible. If he was caught by Chu
It would be bad if Shen Zhou found out something and uprooted his influence in Luo City.
Ming Ruo was chatting with Concubine Xian in Jinle Palace. Concubine Xian stroked her belly and said, "This chest-length skirt is very nice. Ruo'er is really smart."
"If my aunt likes it, I will make some light and soft summer clothes and send them over." Mingruo thought for a moment, "Are the clothes for the ladies in the palace usually prepared by the clothing bureau?"
"Yes, after all, the handmade clothing materials outside are not as good as Shangyi Bureau." Concubine Xian said with a smile, "But the clothes and jewelry in Yunzhuanglou are not worse than Shangyi Bureau, mainly because the styles are fresh. Many concubines like it.
It's important, we have people coming out of the palace to do the shopping."
"Oh." Mingruo nodded, it seems that her low-cut underskirt can be arranged.
The golden and charming costumes of the Tang Dynasty in the TV series immediately came to mind. Well...the whole set of heavy gold hair and noodles was also arranged.
Ju Xin came in and announced: "Princess, Princess Yun, Prince Yun has come to pick you up, and Jianyu is waiting outside."
"Okay." Mingruo stood up, "I'm leaving now. I'll bring new clothes to my aunt in a few days."
"Ju Yun, bring the clothes and jewelry that I have prepared for Ruo'er." Concubine Xian asked the maid to fetch the things.
"I originally came to see my aunt, but every time I bring a bunch of things back, it seems like I'm here in the autumn wind." Mingruo said with a smile.
"Follow the autumn breeze, and my aunt is very happy." Concubine Xian took Mingruo's hand, "You are young and in a good age, you can't do it without more clothes and jewelry."
"I have a Yunzhuang Building." Mingruo made a face.
"Whatever you have is yours. What I give you is my heart." Concubine Xian sighed, "It's a blessing for us to be together. It's just a pity that your mother and concubine are alone in Nanrong..."
