The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 222: Where's the money? What about our money?

Four people sit down.

Zhuge Liuying asked Li Dongsheng: "How long will you stay in the capital this time?"

Li Dongsheng said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry to leave when I come back this time. Although the rivers and lakes are good, it's tiring to go shopping a lot. I heard that the capital has been very lively recently. Naturally, I have to stay for a while longer, isn't it, Your Highness?"

Xiao Rui noticed Li Dongsheng's gaze, nodded, and said: "It's lively, I didn't expect Mr. Li to be natural, and he likes to be a melon-eating crowd!"

"Oh? What are people who eat melons? This name is very new." Li Dongsheng said.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "The so-called people who eat melons are just like Miss Ruoxue now!"

Li Ruoxue was listening to the conversation between the two with her big eyes open, when she suddenly mentioned herself, she was taken aback for a moment.

Li Dongsheng laughed, and said: "Your Highness's description is apt, I admire it." As he said that, he set his eyes on the poems on the table, couldn't help picking them up to admire, and was immediately attracted by Xiao Rui's flowing handwriting.

"Your Highness, this poem is majestic and majestic, coupled with this elegant calligraphy, it will surely be famous all over the world and will last forever." After Li Dongsheng praised him, he looked at Li Ruoxue and couldn't help sighing: "Sister, I am coming back this time because I miss you all , and the second is for you. If you don’t want to marry someone you don’t like, no one can force you.”

"Brother" Li Ruoxue was a little shy, why did she mention this in front of Liu Ying and Xiao Rui.

Li Dongcheng smiled and said: "Instead of being Xiao Ming's side concubine, I don't want to marry His Royal Highness Xian Wang as a side concubine! You and Sister Liu Ying have a deep relationship, so you don't have to worry about being made things difficult by others, and your highness is gentle and refined, much better than Xiao Ming."

Li Ruoxue was even more ashamed, and said: "Brother, what are you talking about! Your Highness, don't take offense, my brother is just messing around like this."

Zhuge Liuying glanced at the calm Xiao Rui, and said with a smile: "I have no objection. But who did you say Li Ruoxue was going to marry? Xiao Ming? The sixth prince, King Ke?"

Li Dongsheng nodded and said: "This is my father's idea. That King Ke won my father over somehow, so he agreed to this marriage intentionally."

"What about Lord Shoufu?" Zhuge Liuying asked.

Li Dongsheng laughed and said, "Why does grandpa object? The grand-niece and granddaughter are Princess Chu, and the granddaughter is the side concubine of King Ke. Li's residence is blessed with the grace of the Holy Grail, and the scenery is incomparable."

Xiao Rui nodded, expressing his understanding.

Li Mingyang has three sons and four daughters, four or five grandsons, and even more granddaughters. Li Ruoxue is not a granddaughter, and marrying King Ke will not be wronged or even highly regarded, so naturally she will not object to this marriage.

Li Ruoxue lowered her head slightly, her mood instantly depressed.

She thought that if she fled to Prince Chu's mansion and didn't meet Xiao Ming, she could avoid the marriage, but she didn't expect that her father had already asked her and agreed to the marriage. She has a soft personality, and she only said one thing that she didn't want to marry, but her father's words were so earnest and precise that she didn't have the courage to resist.

In this era, a woman's marriage cannot escape the orders of her parents after all. Just like Xiao Qingqing, who has a straightforward and aggressive personality, she didn't convince King Ruyang, and finally married Xu Haoran.

This topic is a bit cold, so the four of them sighed.

In this silence, a hearty smile came from afar.

The four looked back, only to see a middle-aged man leading a young man in.

The middle-aged man is the father of Li Ruoxue and Li Dongsheng, and the young man is none other than Ke Wang Xiaoming!

The two entered the yard, but they didn't expect that there were four people sitting in the yard. People from both sides were stunned when they looked at each other and looked at you.

"Seventh brother? Why are you here?" Xiao Ming asked with a gloomy expression.

Li Yinghe came back to his senses, and quickly cupped his hands: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Xian. His Royal Highness is here to welcome you. The servants in the mansion are really messing around. They didn't even notify King Xian when he came!"

Li Dongsheng got up and cupped his hands and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Ke, father, I invited His Highness King Xian and Sister Liu Ying, and Grandmother wanted to thank His Highness King Xian for his kindness, so she came in a hurry, so I didn't inform my father."

Li Yinghe nodded and said: "Then treat His Royal Highness King Xian well, Ruoxue, come with me!"

Li Ruoxue pursed her lips, and was about to walk over, but was stopped by Li Dongcheng.

"Father, my younger sister is entertaining King Xian, there is always someone who comes first." Li Dongsheng laughed.

Li Yinghe's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Nonsense! King Ke has something important to discuss with Ruoxue. You have just returned to the capital, so if you don't understand, just stand there!"

After scolding him, he smiled at Xiao Ming again: "Your Highness, my son has been traveling around the rivers and lakes all year round. He doesn't know how to measure and speaks inappropriately. Don't take offense."

Xiao Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Li is straightforward, just like this king."

However, Li Dongsheng still stopped Li Ruoxue, and said with a smile: "Father, Ruoxue entertained King Xian just to obey Great-Grandmother's wishes. If you are really in a hurry, then my son will wake up Great-Grandmother who is taking a nap and tell her. Otherwise When she wakes up and complains about Ruoxue's poor hospitality, grandpa will be angry when he hears about it."

Li Yinghe's complexion changed. Once the old lady was angry, his grandson would have to go around, and his father, Li Mingyang, would have to scold him face to face! However, now that King Ke has arrived, he is here for his own daughter.

Xiao Ming was angry in his heart. He glanced at Li Dongcheng who was wearing a Taoist robe, and he could see that he was obstructing him, preventing his sister from touching him. Immediately afterwards, his eyes locked on Xiao Rui again.

Why is this seventh brother everywhere! Could it be that you also covet Li Ruoxue?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming smiled and said: "Seventh brother is very elegant. Before the emperor gave him the marriage, he and Miss Zhuge were inseparable, and the bead curtain was perfect. The harmony of feelings is really enviable. Seventh brother is so dedicated, as your Not as good as brother."

Xiao Rui put down his teacup, saw Xiao Ming pointing at himself, ignored his little trick, and said casually: "Sixth brother praised me, younger brother is ashamed."

"It's sunny today, why don't you take Ms. Zhuge out for a stroll?" Xiao Ming had already chased away the guests on behalf of the Li family.

Xiao Rui immediately felt displeased. If you can't catch up with girls, you blame others for being handsome, why don't you complain about being ugly.

So Xiao Rui sarcastically said: "Sixth brother is very true, Mr. Li and Miss Ruoxue, why not be together?"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Li Dongcheng smiled, then looked at Li Yinghe, and said, "Father, Ruoxue and I will accompany King Xian out for a trip!"

Li Yinghe was suddenly caught in a dilemma. The two princes attacked at the same time. How would he answer? It stands to reason that he is biased towards Xiao Ming, but he can't offend Xiao Rui casually.

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Very well, the seventh brother really has character."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ming turned around and said to Li Yinghe: "Lord Li, I suddenly have something to do, so I won't bother you, and I will leave."

Li Yinghe hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I am sending you off, I am deeply sorry."

Watching the two leave, Li Ruoxue sighed, turned around and bowed to Xiao Rui: "Thank you, Your Highness, for making the rescue."

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "It's a little effort."

Li Dongsheng also bowed his hands in thanks.

Afterwards, the four of them chatted for a while, but Li Xiu'er didn't come out, as if she didn't want to see Xiao Rui, which made Xiao Rui even more puzzled, wondering what happened to Li Xiu'er.

Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying left the Li Mansion and walked back to the Wang Mansion.

"Thank you." Suddenly, Zhuge Liuying said.

Xiao Rui looked at her in surprise, and asked, "Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

Zhuge Liuying was a little unnatural, she didn't dare to meet Xiao Rui's eyes, and said: "Thank you for your willfulness and tolerance to me, I also know that it is always delusional for women to lead troops to fight, but you have never vetoed me, or even deceived me. I, but believe me sincerely. Only when I see Ruoxue, I know how lucky I am."

Xiao Rui pursed his lips, and really wanted to tell her that the world you were looking forward to would appear in an unknown number of years, but it was still a bit pale to say it now.

"You also have to be careful of Xiao Ming, this person has a violent personality and will take revenge, he is the most vengeful among the several princes." Zhuge Liuying reminded.

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "If he doesn't come to provoke me, I won't take the initiative to provoke him. After all, it's almost Chinese New Year, and one more thing is worse than one less thing. But if his hands and feet are not clean, I don't mind sending him out of Beijing early! "

Zhuge Liuying naturally believed Xiao Rui's rhetoric, after all Xiao Yuan was eliminated by his design, Xiao Ming is not as good as Xiao Yuan.

Back at Prince Xian's mansion, Zhuge Liuying sat for a while, but the concubine, who couldn't hold back Shaoyao's persistence, finally retreated quickly.

Xiao Rui went to see Shen Wansan, he had already cleared twelve boxes of gold and silver, with a total value of more than five million taels, which surprised Xiao Rui.

But it makes sense to think about it, Wei Dabao's status, this amount of money is considered small.

Handing the account book to Shen Wansan casually, Xiao Rui said: "The money does not need to go into the account room of the palace, it is a secret fund, and you are responsible for all of it! You can use it however you want!"

Shen Wansan suddenly made an indescribable promise that he was willing to sacrifice his life for Xiao Rui. After only knowing Qu Qu for two days, he would trust himself with this huge sum of money. This is not just as simple as trust!

A scholar dies for his confidant. At this moment, Shen Wansan fully understood the meaning of this sentence!

In the evening, good news came from Wu Zhanfa who had been staring at Dongchang!

Today, Wei Dabao went to his small treasury. He opened the iron door and entered the secret room, only to see that there was nothing in the empty secret room!

He rubbed his eyes hastily, thinking he was dazzled, but opened his eyes again

Fuck!

Really nothing!

At this moment, Wei Dabao's blood pressure went off the charts, he sat on the ground dizzy and dizzy, and didn't react for a long time.

"Where's my money? Where's the money?"

"Where's my fucking money? Who! Who! Come out to our house!"

Wei Dabao let out a roar, but there was only an echo, but no answer.

He gritted his teeth and got up. At this moment, Wei Dabao, who was in his forties, instantly aged ten years.

He was born as a farmer, and he entered the palace only when his family was poor. Otherwise, which man is willing to cut off his treasure, and now he can only soak it in the potion, take it out when he thinks about it, and beg it not to shrink, don't shrink , the small ones are almost invisible.

So I said that my life is miserable, I don't have any relatives or offspring, the only thing that can give me comfort is money!

Having money, even if you don't spend it to hide it, is still a sense of security, but now the sense of security is gone!

My own thoughts are gone, these gold and silver are my sons, and now I don't have any sons!

The more he thought about it, the more he hated it, Wei Dabao's eyes turned red, he carefully observed the traces around him, and then looked at the iron lock on the iron door, he judged that someone picked the lock and moved the box away!

"No matter who it is! Our family will ask you to spit out the money for our family!"

This time, Wei Dabao was really angry.

When he came out, he returned to Dongchang in a carriage.

Immediately, he called Wei Zhongxian.

"My lord, the humble Wei Zhongxian sent you after hearing it!" Wei Zhongxian saluted respectfully, and at the same time wondered, seeing his gloomy expression, he didn't know what happened.

Wei Dabao said: "Secretly control Wang Hu, don't use stingy means, let him honestly explain who he has betrayed our family's whereabouts to!"

Wei Zhongxian was startled, Wang Hu is Wei Dabao's right-hand man, although he is not the head of the Fifth Division, but no one can act according to his face, he follows Wei Dabao every day, and he is the most trusted, why should he be severely interrogated suddenly?

Wei Dabao said again: "Remember, ask what should be asked, and don't ask what should not be asked!"

Wei Zhongxian sensed the murderous intent in Wei Dabao's eyes, nodded quickly, and said: "The villain understands, we must pry the truth out of his mouth, and ask to whom he betrayed the whereabouts of the lord!"

Wei Dabao nodded, and waved Wei Zhongxian down.

Later, the head of the first division was called, and the first division of Dongchang was in charge of the capital affairs.

"My lord!" Duan Zhengfeng, the head of the first division.

"You go to the patrol camp yourself and check if there are any horse-drawn carriages appearing on Limin Street in Xicheng District after the curfew within three days! If so, what do you find? Remember, keep it secret!" Wei Dabao arranged.

Duan Zhengfeng immediately led the order to go.

Wei Dabao is very cunning, and he is afraid that his small coffers will be discovered, so every time he goes there, only Wang Hu drives the car. At the same time, in the teahouse on the street outside the house, special spies from the East Factory are placed to observe the surroundings. Wei Dabao cautiously only lets the spies Observe suspicious people around, but being too cautious has caused omissions, that is, the spy did not take this matter as a major event at all, and observed hastily during the day, and there was no one at night.

Therefore, Xiao Rui and his party moved away the gold and silver after the curfew, and they happened to be undiscovered, which is a blessing.

Wei Zhongxian led people to arrest Wang Hu, Wang Hu was still very arrogant, he didn't realize that he was going to die, and then he was forcefully dragged into the third division's yamen guard.

At the same time, Wei Zhongxian realized that this had something to do with following Wei Dabao a few days ago, so he immediately gave Tian Ergeng a look, and he secretly wrote down his instructions. That night, he secretly came to Xian Wang's mansion and reported to Xian Wang.

King Xian has already learned from Wu Zhanfa that Wei Dabao may have known that his treasury was stolen, but he does not know exactly what he will do. At this time, after listening to Tian Ergeng's detailed explanation, he knew the details.

When Duan Zhengfeng went to the patrol camp, he would gain something if he asked carefully. He believed that he would find out that it was related to Chu Palace. However, this is also flawed. If the money was really stolen by the Chu Palace, why did the guards still wear the clothes of the Chu Palace?

So Xiao Rui said to Tian Ergeng: "Tell Wei Zhongxian, see if you can get Wang Hu to admit that someone from Chu Palace once wooed him."

Once Wang Hu admits that people from the Chu Palace have wooed him, even if he doesn't admit that he was bought by the Chu Palace, or that he betrays Wei Dabao's whereabouts, the Chu Palace will be completely exposed to Wei Dabao's eyes. It will be the king of Chu!

"The villain understands." Tian Ergeng cleverly understood Xiao Rui's intention immediately, and left quietly through the secret passage.

That night, Wei Zhongxian interrogated Wang Hu "gently" according to the instructions. When Wang Hu was dragged back to the cell, he was already inhumane.

The statement after the interrogation was also immediately presented to Wei Dabao.

Wang Hu naturally refused to admit that he had betrayed Wei Dabao, but Wei Zhongxian made him admit that Chu Palace had sent someone to contact him. contact?

Immediately afterwards, according to the investigation by the patrol battalion, it was also found out that the Chu Palace had transported two carriages near Limin Street.

In this way, the Prince Chu Mansion completely entered Wei Dabao's eyeliner!

In addition, Wei Dabao had already cooperated with Jing Wang Xiao Jing and had already jointly dealt with the Chu king, so Wei Dabao had to guess whether this was the counterattack of the Chu king Xiao Yiheng!

Around Chou Shi, Wei Dabao didn't rest and lost so much money, it was his dearest relatives and friends! Sleeping numbly, so he quietly went to Prince Jing's mansion to meet Xiao Jing.

I don't know when the two talked secretly.
