This was not the first time that Zhao Guanren became a prisoner. He knew what it means to be warm and cold. No one came to speak for him for half a month. Princess Jiuyue also recanted her confession, saying that he had coerced her into molestation. All the servants in the palace also betrayed him and identified him.
Having an affair with the Crown Princess.
It's useless to say anything at this time, no one will listen to his excuses...
When Dali Temple came to interrogate him, except for not confessing to the murder of Xuan Yi, he confessed to everything else and signed it. However, in order not to arouse suspicion, Chen Guangda only came to ask twice on behalf of the "two empresses" and provided him with information.
Got some news.
"On behalf of the Emperor, I would like to ask you whether you want to hand over the secret recipe..."
Xu Shaoqing stood outside the cell with a green face. Zhao Guanren sat on the couch, flipping through books, and said with a smile: "You can only represent yourself. Besides, do you understand chemical materials? Do you know what antimony trisulfide is? Xu Zhenmo made
!You dug a big hole for yourself, I will collect your body when I get out!"
"You still want to go out, I will make you look good now..."
Xu Shaoqing angrily brought a bucket of excrement and threw it into Zhao Guanren's cell. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guanren suddenly lifted up a table and blocked the excrement and urine back, but splashed all over himself.
"Don't feed him, he will starve to death. If anything happens, I will take the responsibility..."
Xu Shaoqing shouted angrily, but the jailer frowned and said: "Master Xu! Let's wait until you become the jailer. You are no longer the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Letting you in is already against the law. You also made shit and urine all over the floor. You
Shall we wipe it or should we wipe it?"
"I'm sorry! I lost my temper, please bear with me..."
Xu Shaoqing quickly took out the silver and stuffed it into the other party. He could only take off his robe in frustration, wiped the urine and feces on his face and left the prison. After he climbed into the carriage with a curse, the two beautiful concubines who originally belonged to Zhao Guanren were sitting in the carriage.
Both of them covered their noses.
"Go home!"
Xu Shaoqing waved his hand with a sullen face, and a concubine crossed her arms and said: "Master! The family is almost in trouble. We owe all the money for the servants' marriage, and we can't even buy knives and meat. If we continue to delay, we will be in trouble."
It’s time to curse, you can’t let us sell ourselves!”
"Oh~"
Xu Shaoqing said irritably: "Didn't I just give you two hundred taels? Why can't you open the pot? Isn't it too much for you?"
"Two hundred taels! What a shame for what you said. It's not even enough for one day's meals..."
The beautiful concubine said disdainfully: "I don't know how capable I am. I really thought that after taking the deed of prostitution, I could have sex for free. If you stab me once, do it twice with that, they will keep the account for you. I've already gone."
I’m asking your wife for money!”
"What? You can't go, that woman in my house is a shrew..."
Xu Shaoqing became anxious immediately, but the beautiful concubine rolled her eyes and said: "What's the use of telling me? I haven't gone to your house to ask for money. There is also trouble in the workshop. I owe wages, materials and monthly interest."
There was so much food that the canteen didn’t have any money to buy rice!”
"Damn Yin Zhiping, he plays better than he sings..."
Xu Shaoqing said angrily: "How can you get back your capital in half a year and a million snowflakes in a year? In the end, more than half of the business is losing money, and the one who makes money is letting him keep the secret recipe. Don't argue with me. I will kill you when I get back."
They’ve all been sold, and all the land and houses have been put up for sale!”
"Are you dizzy?"
The beautiful concubine glared and said: "Think of us as your domestic prostitutes. We are all the prince's concubines. Those who are not princes are more powerful than you. If you are brave, just sell one and try it. We will go to the princes later."
Say, you are frivolous towards us every day and night!"
"Don't! I said something wrong. We have always treated each other with respect, right? I'll just slap you..."
Xu Shaoqing hurriedly slapped his mouth a few times. After a while, the carriage arrived outside the house. But he was shocked as soon as he got off the car. The gate was full of people. It was too late for him to run away. He was suddenly trapped.
People gathered in the middle.
"What do you want to do, magicians! Drive them away quickly..."
Xu Shaoqing screamed in shock, and a row of demon masters were sitting on the wall of the courtyard, saying in a voice: "You can tie up our moon silver first, and then talk about it. The food in the yamen has been cut off, and even the cook's money has been cut off."
You owe it all, do you think we are all being taken advantage of?"
"There is also our wages. We have been working for more than half a month and we are not paid..."
"Material money! I won't charge you interest, so pay it quickly..."
"There is also our food expenses, there is no rice left to cook..."
Hundreds of people crowded around him and shouted. Xu Shaoqing was sweating profusely and shouted: "Don't be anxious! I am a fourth-grade officer. I can't escape. There are still many houses in the Demon Suppression Division."
When I sell the land, I will give you the money, a lot of money!"
"Xu! Even the sale of your ancestral tombs won't be enough to pay off the debt..."
A strong man squeezed out, held up the account book and said: "The Demon-Suppressing Division has mortgaged the land and house to us, and borrowed 2.6 million taels of silver from eight banks. The interest of 4 cents is not included in what you have to pay.
You already owe us more than five hundred thousand taels of capital!"
"What? He mortgaged all the land deeds..."
Xu Shaoqing was so shocked that he almost fainted. He could only lead the huge crowd into the house. He called out to the accounting room in a hurry and asked the eight accounting gentlemen to calculate the accounts on the spot.
It's not over yet.
"Master! Do you want to follow me to the back to listen, or do you want to talk here..."
One of the accountants finally stood up. Xu Shaoqing quickly covered the tea bowl and said, "Speak quickly! I have sold my servants and my land. How much money is left on the account? Is it enough to pay off the bank's debt? Their four cents
Lee is so deceptive!"
"My boss! The Demon-Suppressing Company doesn't even have a piece of land, including the objects and servants in the house, including the chair under your butt, all of which have been given to eight banks..."
The accountant shook his head sadly and said: "Currently, we owe a total of more than 1.3 million taels of foreign debt. According to the deed when we joined the partnership, shareholders are not responsible for foreign debts and have the right to get back their principal. If the shareholders also come to ask for money, your
The Demon Suppression Department has to bear the responsibility..."
"Xu! Please hand over the prince's money..."
Sudden!
Several slaves of the princes and princesses came in, and hundreds of shareholders also poured into the compound. Xu Shaoqing almost burst into tears on the spot, but it was useless to beg his father to sue his grandmother. The contract was stamped with the seal of the Demon Suppressing Division.
This is not his private account, Zhao Guanren.
"Gou Guan! Pay back the money quickly..."
Xu Shaoqing was suddenly knocked to the ground. Someone stepped on him and said angrily: "When Mr. Yin was here, he never owed us a penny, but you have lost so much money. You must have enriched your own pockets. We
Tie him to the gate of the state capital. If the state capital doesn’t give you the money, they will go find the emperor!"
"Tie him up! Beat to death this dog official who framed Zhongliang..."
Xu Shaoqing, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, was tied up like a pig and picked on a bamboo pole. The news quickly spread throughout Luoyang City. When people heard that the dog officer who framed "Yin Dashanren" was captured, countless people immediately
Move upon hearing the wind.
"Beat him to death! Beat him to death! Beat him to death..."
The surging crowd quickly accumulated on Tianhe Street. The people of Luoyang had not mutinied for hundreds of years. Officials and soldiers everywhere were so frightened that they all dispatched. The Imperial Army guarding the palace thought that someone was rebelling, so they hurriedly moved stones to block the palace gate.
"Father!"
Prince Ji knelt down on the tower in excitement and said, "You are so good at predicting things. I am really impressed by you!"
"Haha~ Yin Zhiping is so smart, how could he hand over the secret recipe to the craftsmen so easily? That idiot Xu Shiming will definitely not be able to survive, and the people will naturally take it out on him..."
The old emperor stroked his beard and smiled and said: "This is why I won't let you interfere. Now everyone thinks that the business is not going to work, so you will take over on behalf of the court, make up for the silver owed, and return the principal of each family.
Not only did I get the deal, but I also got a good reputation!”
"My father is wise and mighty, and I, my son, will go now..."
Prince Ji stood up excitedly, but the old emperor said calmly: "Let them continue to cause trouble for a while. It's not just the people who hate the Demon Suppression Division. Let them vent for a while, and then tell Yin Zhiping and hand over the secret recipe."
He can be exiled thousands of miles away, otherwise he will not be able to get out of the prison!"
"I understand! I will make him disappear halfway..."
Prince Ji walked away with fierce eyes. He smoked two of the most popular jade brooks in the palace gate. When he saw that he was done, he rode out with his troops. When he came to the largest intersection, he saw that Xu Shaoqing had already been stripped naked.
Hanging on the flagpole, with two big words written on the chest - Dog Officer!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! You are here, Xu Shiming has made a big mistake..."
A group of high-ranking officials hurriedly gathered around. The soldiers had already blocked the street, but everyone who had nothing to do came to join in the fun. It was so dark that one could not see the end. The soldiers were sweating nervously. With so many people, they could even attack the imperial city.
Come down.
"Fellow folks! Don't get excited, I am the prince..."
Prince Ji confidently rode forward, but suddenly someone shouted: "Prince! Is your wife borrowing seeds or committing adultery? These are two different things. If your wife asks Master Yin to borrow seeds, the court will have to let her go."
Lord Yin!”
"That's right! Borrowing seeds is not adultery. I haven't asked your wife for payment yet..."
"Hahaha……"
The people suddenly burst into laughter. Anyway, the law does not punish the public, and the emperor has nothing to do with it. Although Prince Ji does not like women, so many people laughed at him in public, and his fair old face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. However,
I still endured it forcefully.
"This matter has been handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and I have no right to interfere. Let's get back to business..."
Prince Ji began to talk about the debt, and he also insisted that Xu Shaoqing was a dog official, and publicly announced that he would have his house confiscated and exiled. At the same time, the court would bear the debt owed by the Demon Suppression Division, and he also pretended to take over the workshop, even if he lost money.
Let the craftsmen starve.
"Prince! You can't take over this stall. The Demon Suppression Department is a big hole..."
The Shaoyin of the Prefecture quickly stepped forward and pulled the prince. The prince covered his mouth angrily and said: "I know that I owe more than 700,000 taels. As long as the people can go back, this little money is nothing!"
"What's more than seven hundred thousand taels? It's more than seven million taels in total. The emperor can't afford so much..."
Shao Yin stamped his feet and let out a low cry. The prince changed his expression in shock and said: "Don't joke with me. I just asked the accountant to check it half a month ago. Can't it increase tenfold in half a month?"
"Who is still in the mood to joke? The ten accounting offices have just calculated, and they found more than 7.8 million taels..."
"Pfft~"
The old emperor also took a sip of tea on the tower, looked at a household official in surprise, and asked in disbelief: "Did you say it wrong or did I hear it wrong? More than seven million taels of silver, so much
Where did the money go, was it eaten by Yin Zhiping?"
"Your Majesty! Yin Zhiping's accounting skills are very good. Outsiders think he is prosperous, but in fact he is using high rebates to earn nothing..."
The official lamented: "There were as many as a thousand investors. He mortgaged these people's homes and fields, half of which continued to make returns, and half of which expanded the scale. He rented more than 3,000 acres of land in the countryside and bought 3,000 people.
You work for a living, then build a workshop, brag about it, and continue to trick people into investing money!"
The old emperor hurriedly asked: "Have you really lost all your money? Can our court make up for this shortfall?"
"Your Majesty! I have never seen such a shameless person. He even mortgaged the latrine..."
The official said bitterly: "The Tang Dynasty's treasury is not as much as what he owes. Even if you don't use troops in Tianzhu, this big hole can still empty us. We really should have delayed arresting him for a while. Maybe
We can still find millions of taels!"
"Is there any way not to pay back this money..."
The old emperor looked at the other party helplessly, and the other party spread his hands and said: "I have also been cheated a lot, and my family is about to be in trouble. Even if I don't need the money, the queen mother, the empress, the noble concubine, the uncle, and the emperor
How should you explain this to your elders?"
"What? That kid actually tricked me..."
The old emperor suddenly jumped to his feet, but the other party asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty! You have something to do with the Queen. It is said that the Queen invested thirty thousand taels of...gold, and..."
"Bastard! You go to Tianlao immediately to arrest someone. If you don't pay back the money, I will chop off his head..."
