The homing pigeon flew very fast, and in just a moment, it had already brought the news back to the capital.
In addition, Dongchang Jinyiwei received the news about the carrier pigeon and approached Xu Changqing to explain the seriousness of the matter. The whole process only took less than two hours.
And these two hours were enough for Li Yinhu to load more than seven million taels of silver into the car and take it back to the palace.
When Xu Changqing learned the news, he did not dare to delay for even a quarter of an hour. Not to mention that this was an order from the prince himself. The more than 7.3 million taels of silver alone were the prerequisite for opening a bank. Without this batch of silver, his mission would be
It can't be completed.
Any reason is related to his wealth and life.
Heading straight to Prince Zhao's Mansion without stopping, Xu Changqing met Li Yinhu who had just returned.
"What are you doing here?"
The first time he saw Xu Changqing, Li Yinhu frowned and had a bad feeling.
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty didn't know that Xu Changqing was a confidant of the East Palace.
And in many cases, what Xu Changqing does represents the will of the East Palace.
Li Yinhu had long disliked Xu Changqing, but Xu Changqing's status was as stable as Mount Tai and he never had a chance to deal with him.
"Xu Changqing, the lower official, has met King Zhao."
Although he was anxious, Xu Changqing still did not forget the etiquette to avoid being caught by Li Yinhu.
After bowing his hands and bowing, Xu Changqing said: "I heard that the prince just copied a large sum of money from the Liu family?"
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Li Yinhu sneered: "Your news came quickly. I just arrived home, and you knew it already?"
As he spoke, Li Yinhu cast a gloomy look at the guards behind him.
He felt that for Xu Changqing to receive the news so quickly, someone close to him must have leaked the news.
Xu Changqing didn't care what Li Yinhu thought, he said seriously: "Does the prince know what this money is used for?"
Li Yinhu snorted coldly and said: "What do I care about what they do? I have evidence that the Liu family colluded with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. Now I am responsible for wiping out the White Lotus Sect in the Gyeonggi area. Since I have discovered the stolen money, I will naturally
Recycling."
Xu Changqing knows better than anyone whether the Liu family has colluded with the White Lotus Sect.
So when he saw Li Yinhu telling lies with his eyes open like this, he immediately became angry and said: "Your Majesty said that there is evidence, but do you dare to show it to your subordinates?"
"presumptuous!"
Li Yinhu was furious and said: "Who do you think you are? But the small household minister Zuo Shilang, regardless of his official rank or responsibility, has no right to interfere with my king's affairs. You still want me to show you the evidence? You don't want your life."
Already?"
Xu Changqing gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the lower official does not have the right to interfere with the prince's handling of the case, but this money was used by the Liu family to hand over to the treasury, so it falls within the scope of authority of the household department where the lower official is located. The lower official speaks lightly, but at least he eats it.
Naturally, one has to do one's duty when receiving a salary from the imperial court, and the prince must hand over this money to his subordinates!"
There were a lot of spies coming and going at the entrance of the palace, and there were also many merchants and common people passing by.
In full public view, being contradicted by Xu Changqing like this, Li Yinhu really lost his temper.
He stared at Xu Changqing coldly and ruthlessly with sinister eyes, and sneered: "Xu Changqing, you must not take this king lightly just because you have the support of the East Palace. If you say such words in public today, you will fight to the death with me."
Already?"
Xu Changqing took a slight step forward, rolled up his sleeves and cupped his fists, lowered his head but said in a loud and powerful voice: "Please, Your Majesty, hand over the money to your subordinate!"
