Tourmaline Court.
King Ning sat at the head, and Princess Huyang sat at the bottom with red eyes.
Liu Zhao stood aside, staring at Princess Huyang unkindly.
If there is any disagreement, they will attack Princess Huyang.
Princess Huyang wiped her tears, "Brother Wang, you must help me this time."
King Ning closed his eyes and just hummed.
"Brother Wang, say something." Princess Huyang was anxious.
King Ning opened his eyes and said casually: "Didn't this king ask Zhao'er to take care of the aftermath for you? What else do you want?"
Princess Huyang was wronged immediately.
"Liu Zhao, that bastard, took the mold and ruined the money. Now I have no money to use, and I won't be able to survive this year. What should I do?"
Liu Zhao was dissatisfied, "Is my aunt complaining that I shouldn't take care of my uncle's aftermath? I minted money privately and cut it off according to the law. Aunt and uncle are really not afraid of the law, nor are they afraid of the wrath of the emperor's grandfather?"
Princess Huyang's face changed slightly.
Together with the captain-in-law, she organized people to mint coins privately in other places.
As a result, the matter was not kept secret, and was targeted by the government.
At that time, the captain consort happened to be in the coin-making workshop and was arrested.
The captain-in-law was afraid of alarming the capital and the palace, so he didn't dare to reveal his identity.
Just ask someone to bring a letter to the princess mansion, and ask Princess Huyang to find a way to get him out quickly.
When Princess Huyang received the letter, she was completely bewildered. So she found King Ning and asked King Ning to find a way to cover up the matter for her.
When King Ning learned that these two idiots had the audacity to mint coins privately, he was so angry that he wanted to kill the captain-in-law.
Princess Huyang begged bitterly, King Ning sighed, "Forget it, I will help you this time."
After that, King Ning ordered Liu Zhao to deal with the aftermath.
Therefore, in the past few days, Liu Zhao was busy with this matter when he went out early and returned late every day.
The person who captured the captain's son-in-law was just a county magistrate who didn't know much about the situation in the capital.
Liu Zhao did not come forward, but sent his men to Beijing to settle the case.
But he stayed in the capital and destroyed all the evidence.
The private money piled up in the Princess Mansion was all transported out of the city by Liu Zhao and melted away.
The mold for casting money was also destroyed.
Everything that should be sealed has already been sealed, and the captain-in-law has also been fished out of the prison.
It stands to reason that this matter ends here.
Unexpectedly, Princess Huyang came to the door today to complain, saying that she had no money to spend and couldn't pass the new year, so she asked the palace to support her.
In previous years, Princess Huyang would also come to play the autumn breeze, but compared to this year, it is still not as good.
Because this year, Princess Huyang's reason was too shameless and shameless.
She didn't think why there was no money to use. As long as the couple were restrained, the income of hundreds of thousands of taels a year would definitely be enough for expenses.
As a result, Princess Huyang was arrogant and blamed Liu Zhao for having no money.
How could Liu Zhao not be angry!
What the hell, I'm going to take care of the aftermath for the two of you, and if I don't get a good word, I will blame all the responsibility on my head. He even used this as a reason to blackmail the palace.
People need face, trees need bark, can you have some face.
Liu Zhao is not a good-tempered person, if he provoked him, he would dare to hate Concubine Shu, let alone Princess Huyang.
"If my aunt is dissatisfied with my nephew, my nephew will go to the palace to meet the emperor's grandfather now, and let the emperor's grandfather judge."
Princess Huyang's complexion changed, and she covered her mouth and burst into tears, "Brother Wang, look at Liu Zhao, he actually threatened me and even reported me to the emperor. How can I live?"
She whimpered and sobbed, which sounded harsh.
Liu Zhao sneered, "My aunt has become more and more shameless since she married her son-in-law and captain."
"Who do you say has no face or skin? Liu Zhao, you still have high and low ranks. After all, I am also your real aunt."
Princess Huyang jumped up angrily, pointed at Liu Zhao's face and scolded.
Liu Zhao had a straight face, his eyes were shining brightly.
He said loudly, "If you weren't my real aunt, I would have killed you already. Why should I listen to your noise."
Princess Huyang found that she really had nothing to do with Liu Zhao. Liu Zhao had a bad temper and was a bigot.
Only by using tricks on King Ning and the elder brother of a compatriot, can there be a turning point.
Hu Yang cried and cried, "Brother Wang, are you really going to die? How can I live this year if I can't even get five thousand taels out of the princess mansion? Brother Wang really wants to watch me suffer from the cold." hungry?"
King Ning sighed, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, the income from Zhuangzi and the shop should all be put into the treasury. Why don't you have money to spend?"
"Brother Wang is not ignorant. The income from Zhuangzi and the shop is put into the treasury once every three months to six months. All the income this year is almost used up."
King Ning said earnestly: "Eating more than enough food for free is not a long-term solution. You have used up all your income this year. What will you do next year?"
Princess Huyang sobbed, "When Juelu comes down next year, he will be able to survive the most difficult months. It's just that during the Chinese New Year period, the expenses are really too high, so please help me, Brother Wang."
Seeing that King Ning was silent, Princess Huyang cried again: "If Brother Wang refuses to help me, then I really have no way out."
King Ning frowned, very annoyed.
But Princess Huyang is his younger sister, so she can't really leave her alone.
King Ning asked with a stern face, "Just because the money is not in hand, you and the captain-in-law went to mint money privately?"
Princess Huyang nodded weakly, "Brother Wang already knows, why do you still ask?"
King Ning was furious, "Shut up. How many times have I told you to live within your means. Why do you not know how to restrain yourself, and getting more and more absurd with the captain-in-law?"
Princess Huyang said aggrievedly: "Both the captain-in-law and I are not good at economics."
King Ning sneered, "Excuse. Even if you and the captain-in-law are not good at economics, is the princess's house order just a decoration? Don't you know how to listen to the house order's opinion?"
Princess Huyang looked disgusted, "The family order is noisy, I will tell him to go away."
"You are the one who should go away. Ridiculous!" King Ning was furious, pointing at Princess Huyang and cursing.
Princess Huyang was aggrieved immediately, and began to cry again.
"Brother Wang is so vicious to me, is he trying to kill me?"
King Ning sneered, "I won't kill you, but I want to kill the captain-in-law."
"If you beat the son-in-law, I won't live anymore." Hu Yang loves the son-in-law deeply, and would not hesitate to turn against King Ning for the son-in-law.
King Ning was overjoyed, "It's just right, then you should get out of this king now. You are not welcome here."
Don't you want to protect the consort? Then live a hard life with the son-in-law, he doesn't care.
Princess Huyang cried loudly, "If my concubine knows that brother Wang treats me like a bandit, I don't know how sad my concubine will be. Is my concubine willing to let my concubine be sad?"
King Ning was indifferent, "Have you finished speaking? If you finish speaking, leave immediately."
Princess Huyang was angry, resentful, and flustered again.
She and her son-in-law are used to living a luxurious life, and during the Chinese New Year, it is time to spend money. If she is required to entertain guests poorly, where will she put her face.
Princess Huyang lowered her posture and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, can you be more polite to the son-in-law?"
King Ning laughed, "This king has long wanted to take the opportunity to teach his son-in-law a lesson, do you think this king will be polite to him?"
Princess Huyang was conflicted and entangled, "How will brother-in-law teach the son-in-law a lesson?"
King Ning said casually: "Slap him with twenty big boards first, what do you think?"
Princess Huyang's face turned pale, "Twenty boards, didn't it cost the son-in-law half his life?"
King Ning smiled, his eyes were cold, "As long as he lives half of his life instead of his whole life, this king is extra merciful. If you are dissatisfied, just leave."
Princess Huyang struggled for a long time, and then asked: "How much can Brother Wang give?"
King Ning said casually, "Five thousand taels."
"Only five thousand taels?" Princess Huyang was so angry that she almost jumped up, "Brother Wang, did you deceive me?"
King Ning's face was serious, "My king's money didn't fall from the sky. The old man wants to clear up the household debts. This king owes the household department hundreds of thousands. How can I pay it back? You think five thousand taels is too little, my king Not too much. If you don't want this money, this king is not willing to give it."
Princess Huyang cried again, "Brother Wang is so cruel. He wanted to beat the son-in-law, but he only gave five thousand taels of silver as a turnover. You might as well let me starve to death."
King Ning said indifferently: "When you are so hungry, I will send someone to pick you up at the Princess Mansion. At that time, I will take care of you and never let you go hungry."
Princess Huyang was heartbroken, and said, "Eight thousand taels!"
King Ning closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Princess Huyang gritted her teeth, "Six thousand taels. Brother Wang, you have to give me six thousand taels anyway. Even if you don't care about me, you have to think about your two nephews."
King Ning opened his eyes, "Forget it, I will give you six thousand taels. Dalang, you immediately take someone to the princess mansion, arrest the son-in-law and beat him twenty boards. This king must beat him hard."
Liu Zhao got the king's order and acted immediately.
"Zhao'er, he is your uncle, be gentle when you strike."
Princess Huyang called Liu Zhao to stop, trying to move people with love.
Liu Zhao smiled coldly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will act with discretion."
Liu Zhao was naturally measured in his actions. He promised that the son-in-law would not die if he went down twenty boards, but he would definitely lose half his life.
Liu Zhao left.
Princess Huyang sat slumped on the chair, like ooze, as if her body had been hollowed out.
"Brother Wang is always so cruel."
King Ning was furious, "If this king is really cruel, he would have killed him long ago based on the private minting of coins by his son-in-law. Why should I listen to you crying and crying. This king will not only kill him, but also his three clans. "
Princess Huyang cried loudly, "If you punish his three clans, you might as well kill me, and your two nephews, too."
King Ning said with a straight face, "If you have the guts to mint coins privately, why don't you have the guts to go to the palace and cry? Do you dare to tell your parents what you have done?"
Princess Huyang paused, she didn't dare to go into the palace to complain, for fear that the news would leak and reach the emperor's ears. This
It is a capital crime to mint coins privately.
With the violent temper of the emperor, it is really possible to execute the son-in-law.
If someone took the opportunity to make trouble, maybe the emperor would really order the three clans of the son-in-law to be punished.
Princess Huyang didn't dare to take risks, she only dared to cry and complain in front of King Ning's brother.
…
Liu Yi came to Bixi Pavilion and wanted to meet King Ning, but was stopped by his servant Chang En.
"Fourth son, please go back. The prince is discussing important matters with the princess, so you are not allowed to enter without summons."
Liu Yi was annoyed, "Why is Big Brother inside?"
"Who said the eldest son is inside? There are only princes and princesses inside, and there is no eldest son."
Liu Yi looked suspicious.
"I clearly heard that the eldest brother is also inside? You old slave, why are you lying?"
"I didn't lie. The fourth son believed the rumors and mistakenly thought that the eldest son was inside."
Seeing that Chang En was so determined, Liu Yi wondered if Liu Zhao really wasn't there
He was hesitating whether to continue or leave, just as Princess Pei arrived.
Princess Pei was furious. She had accumulated a lot of resentment towards Huyang for a long time, and it was unreasonable to beat the autumn wind every year.
Chang En blocked Pei's way, "Princess, please stay. The prince ordered that no one is allowed to enter without his permission."
"Get out of the way, do you even dare to stop this princess?"
Chang En frowned, bowed and said: "Please forgive me. The prince personally ordered, and this old servant dare not disobey."
Pei's face was stern, "Then you go and report to the lord immediately, and say that my princess misses Princess Huyang very much when she hears about Princess Huyang's visit. I can't wait, so I will come over to greet Princess Huyang in person."
Chang En responded and ordered Xiao Huangmen to report to the prince, but he himself still stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
The little yellow gate came back in a moment, "The lord invites the concubine to go in."
Mrs. Pei snorted coldly, shook her sleeves, and entered the Bixi Pavilion.
Liu Yi also wanted to take the opportunity to go in, but he heard Xiao Huangmen say: "The prince only invites the concubine to go in, no one else is allowed to enter."
Liu Yi was embarrassed now.
"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine..." he called out loudly.
Mrs. Pei turned her head and said to Liu Yi, "Go back to your room first, it's none of your business here."
The elders come to blow the autumn wind, how can the younger generation see it.
Liu Yi was sullen, and glared at Chang En, the old man, relying on his father to dominate the house. One day, my son will tell you to look good.
Liu Yi had no choice but to leave.
When Mrs. Pei walked into the hall, she saw Princess Huyang sobbing and crying very sadly.
Pei sneered, "Oh, why is my sister crying? But the prince said something serious?"
Princess Huyang snorted coldly to herself, her face full of grievances, "Sister-in-law is here, and I'm sad."
Mrs. Pei sat next to King Ning, "What can you be wronged about? If you have no money to spend, the prince will give you money to spend. With such a good brother, no matter how many people envy you. Sister, you What else is there to dissatisfy?"
Princess Huyang was not happy, "Don't ask me."
Mrs. Pei sneered, and came to the door to beat the autumn wind, and even showed a sense of superiority.
Is the money of Ganqing Wang's mansion all from her princess' mansion? You can ask for anything.
Mrs. Pei glared at King Ning, to see what you are doing.
King Ning coughed twice, naturally he couldn't tell Mrs. Pei about the private minting of coins.
He said: "After the new year, Juelu will send it out."
Mrs. Pei rolled her eyes, and she was counting on Juelu to be enough for Princess Huyang and her husband for a few months
She doesn't do production, doesn't know how to operate, doesn't listen to people's persuasion, and lives extravagantly. This is Princess Huyang.
Every year when the new year is approaching, the Pei family will be angry for several days because of Princess Huyang.
Mrs. Pei said to Princess Huyang: "Sister, these years, she has not had a long-term mind, but her temper has increased."
Princess Huyang wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly: "I know my sister-in-law is dissatisfied with me, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to scold me in front of my face. I will go to the palace tomorrow to meet my concubine mother. I have to let my concubine mother judge this matter."
Mrs. Pei was furious, "My sister came to beat the autumn wind, and she even showed dignity. As a sister-in-law, I can't say a word to you, can I? Do you want us to hold the money in front of you with both hands, begging you to accept it, you I feel at ease in my heart. Pooh! This princess is not a scumbag, and I have to use money to please you."
As soon as Pei's family turned his face, Princess Huyang burst into tears.
"Brother Wang, you have seen it with your own eyes. My sister-in-law bullied me so much, you have to make the decision for me. Otherwise, call Liu Zhao back and not allow him to do anything to the son-in-law."
King Ning stared at the sky speechlessly.
Similar to a drama, it is staged every year, and he treats it as watching a drama.
However, Mrs. Pei grasped the key point in Princess Huyang's words.
"What do you mean by calling Liu Zhao back and not allowing him to do anything to the son-in-law?"
Princess Huyang cried and said: "Brother Wang wants to beat the son-in-law, twenty bans."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pei was overjoyed.
Looking at King Ning with winking eyes, "My lord, you have done something very gratifying."
King Ning laughed, "The son-in-law's behavior is ridiculous, and the emperor is busy with government affairs. As a brother-in-law, I have the heavy responsibility to teach the son-in-law a lesson. In this way, I don't have to bother the emperor and his elders."
Pei is in a good mood.
She is willing to beat up the son-in-law and give him money.
Princess Huyang refused, "My sister-in-law has no sympathy."
Mrs. Pei smiled, "Sister, you don't understand this. It's the so-called deep responsibility of love. The prince sent someone to teach the son-in-law a lesson, and it's all for your own good. If the son-in-law doesn't go out to cause trouble, you are free, right? It's not that I said you, you dignified princess, you should strictly discipline your son-in-law. How can you condone his absurdity."
Princess Huyang really loves her son-in-law deeply.
I just heard her defending the son-in-law: "He is suffering in his heart. It is not absurd for him to go out, but just venting his distress. I have told the son-in-law that since the day I became a son-in-law, I have lost my official career. There is no hope of official career, and he is not allowed to vent one or two things." ?"
