Seeing that Zhong Langyu still refused to speak, Zhong Yehan sighed softly: "If you don't tell me the truth, then I can't save you. Do you know that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty thought that you should be killed, but I couldn't suppress it?" Patch, I’m just here to hear what you have to say. In my mind, you don’t seem to be such an ignorant child.”
Zhong Langyu's head buzzed, oh my god! Father really plans to kill me! What about the prince brother? Didn't he intercede for me?
"Father, I am really wrong. Father, I beg you to forgive me this time!" Zhong Langyu still refused to tell the truth, and he still placed his treasure on the prince.
Zhong Yehan slowly stood up with a gloomy expression: "If you continue to be so stubborn, I can't save you. Today is the first time I come to see you, and it will also be the last time. If you don't tell the truth again, don't blame me for being cruel. ”
Why did Zhong Yehan say such things? How did he know there was something hidden in it? Zhong Yehan deserves to be a sharp-thinking politician. He has since received reports from officials that a total of 20,000 taels of silver were found in Zhong Langyu's house. He found it unbelievable. How could a corrupt criminal who wanted to extort money put the dirty money in the palace openly? Even if it was placed in the palace, it would have to be hidden in a secret place. It was impossible to put it in the study. This was too illogical. . Zhong Yehan thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out the reason. Could there be a hidden secret in this? What kind of secret could that be? In order to solve this mystery, Zhong Yehan personally came to the Penal Department Prison to get the answer from Zhong Langyu. Unexpectedly, Zhong Langyu refused to cooperate, which made the old man very angry. He even wanted to give up Ximen Dehao's idea and really kill this unfilial son.
When Zhong Langyu heard this, he suddenly went out of his mind: "Father, please forgive me, father, please forgive me, the prince asked me to do it. I only took three thousand taels, the rest was not taken by me, they were forced on me." .”
When a person is in danger of life or death, he will grab a straw with all his might. Zhong Langyu had neither the ability nor the courage to remain silent any longer.
Zhong Yehan was shocked and his eyes widened: "What did you say, Prince? What does this have to do with Prince?"
Zhong Langyu cried and said: "When I was collecting the money, the prince brother was there. He encouraged me to collect it. The prince said it was okay, so he and his second brother also took it. This is a routine matter of the Ministry of Revenue, and there will be no such thing. Question. However, after the matter was exposed, the prince brother said that he would let me take all the responsibility for the matter. He said that with him working around the outside, he would ensure that I would be fine. "
Zhong Yehan's blood almost solidified, Zhong Langyao! How could I give birth to such a cold-blooded animal? Thinking of the day he kept trying to kill Zhong Langyu in the Jinluan Palace, veins popped out on Zhong Yehan's forehead. There is no sense of brotherhood here. How can such a person be worthy of being a prince? Zhong Yehan held his chest and took a few deep breaths, looking extremely uncomfortable.
Zhong Langyu was frightened: "Father, don't worry! Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?"
Zhong Yehan held on to the chair and took a breath: "Don't yell, I'm fine. Don't tell anyone about this matter. Just pretend it's nothing. Father will handle the rest. Don't worry, Father will not Will kill you."
"Thank you, father, thank you, father!" A stone in Zhong Langyu's heart finally fell to the ground.
Zhong Yehan waved his hand, signaling Zhong Langyu to call someone in. Zhong Langyu quickly walked to the cell door and shouted: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
Several eunuchs walked in quickly. When they saw the emperor sitting on the chair with an ugly face, they were frightened and panicked. Zhong Yehan waved his hand: "I'm fine! Help me back to the palace!"
Several eunuchs helped Zhong Yehan out of the prison cell of the Criminal Department.
