According to the address given by King Pingjun, Qi Shu took all the guards of Prince Pingjun's mansion and found the seven outer chambers.
Everywhere I went, I found that it was a large courtyard with golden bricks on the floor, rich clothes and fine food, countless servants, and supreme glory. It is not inferior to the style of Pingjun Wangfu.
It turns out that his father's greedy money was really spent in these places!
Sitting on the horse, he was so angry that he almost fainted. Facing the frightened crowd, he gritted his teeth and said, "Take them all away!"
After giving an order, the mansion guards tied up the people inside, men, women and children, and took them out of the mansion together.
The aunts were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and his brothers and sisters who were picked up for nothing were so frightened that they screamed.
He turned a blind eye, listened but didn't hear, and ransacked seven mansions in a row, bringing out seven aunts, seventeen younger brothers and sisters, and a total of hundreds of servants from each mansion.
After he brought these people into Pingjun Wangfu, he went to the household department with a cold face.
All the officials of the household department were sent out, but Ye Chang was the only one who was in charge of the household department. Hearing someone tell Qi Shu to see him, he said, "Please come in."
Qi Shu set foot in the household department, one foot deep and one shallow foot into Ye Chang's office.
Ye Chang held a volume of medical books and leaned on the low couch. Seeing Qi Shu come in from outside in a panic, he raised his eyebrows, "The sky in Pingjun Palace hasn't fallen yet, why did you make yourself like this? "
Qi Shu looked at Ye Chang, walked up to him, said with red eyes, "I want to kill him."
"Huh?" Ye Chang put down the scroll, "You mean Prince Ping? Your father?"
Qi Shu nodded.
Ye Chang pointed to the side, "Sit down and talk."
Qi Shu sat down, and said angrily, "He...he used greedy money to hide it from us, and raised seven concubine...seven women and gave birth to seventeen children...all these years , my mother and I were kept in the dark..."
Ye Chang said unknowingly, "It's not uncommon for the king of Pingjun to have a concubine. The concubine of Pingjun is powerful, and the mansion is strictly controlled, and the king of Pingjun loves women, so he can't eat them in the mansion, so naturally he has to go out to eat." gone."
Qi Shu was speechless for a moment.
Ye Chang said, "You know what your father looks like, so you really don't have to be so heartbroken and torture yourself."
Qi Shu shook his head, "I didn't expect that he would spend three million taels of silver here. Really... the seven mansions, each of which is no less than the Prince Pingjun's mansion, are located in this capital, hidden in the deep In the alley, I didn't find out earlier... Now that the money is gone, how can I pay it back? I really wish I could wait for the emperor to kill the Nine Clans. Anyway, his outer chambers are also counted in the Nine Clans."
Ye Chang looked at him, "Because of your father's mistakes, it's not wise to punish yourself." After saying that, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sell all that can be sold, and see how much you can get." Luo Luo, said to him in a low voice, "Your father is lustful, but he is not very courageous. It is really surprising that he can be involved in such a big case. You can ask him again, if there is any secret that you can't tell."
Qi Shu was startled, "You mean, someone encouraged my father?"
Ye Chang nodded, "Even if it's not enough, there may be some secrets that can be used to pay off the crime."
Qi Shu woke up.
Ye Chang picked up the scroll again, and said to him, "You and I are four brothers, Shen Qi is dead, I could save him, but he begged to die voluntarily, I have great abilities, and I can't save the person I want to die. Statement is far away in the western region, he sees it for himself, he can live, and he is alive, he is very happy every day, and he may not even want to come back to the capital in the future. I don't want you to be crushed by this matter. Even if the silver is not In the end, there is always a compromise, I may not be unable to protect the nine clans of your Pingjun Palace, but it depends on how your father cooperates to protect himself."
Hearing this, Qi Shu looked at Ye Chang with sour eyes, "As a brother, not only can I not help you, but I will also cause you trouble..."
Ye Chang said, "Since we are brothers, there is no need to say these things."
Qi Shu nodded, wiped away tears, stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going back to the mansion right now, with the knife on his neck, and I have to let him speak out about what he has done that is unfilial."
Ye Chang nodded and said to him, "Keep your Pingjun Palace well, and don't let him have something happen before he speaks out."
Qi Shu suddenly became awe-inspiring, and said with a chill from the bottom of his heart, "I know."
Ye Chang thought for a while and said, "I'll send some guards to secretly enter your Pingjun Palace to help you."
Qi Shu nodded.
After leaving the household department and being blown by the cold wind, Qi Shu regained consciousness after being drowsy for a day. He turned his head and looked at the household department. There was an aura of majesty and oppression in the center of the household, while Ye Chang sat inside, Calm and composed, without the slightest discomfort and overwhelm.
He thought of a sentence that Chen Chen often said on his lips, they both grew up together, why is there so much difference between him and Ye Chang? Is it true that he is born smart and he is stupid
He thought of Su Fengnuan again. This morning, the woman he saw was equally calm and composed. Even though she was weak, she still gave people a feeling that the mountain collapsed in front of her without changing her face.
He thought, the statement is right, some people are born smart and gifted, but these are a minority. Such as Ye Chang, such as Su Fengnuan.
He belongs to the stupid kind of person, his father raised seven outhouses outside, and he didn't know the slightest thing in this capital city.
Since he was a child, he has been the little prince of the Pingjun Palace. In his memory, although his father likes women and has many concubines and housekeepers in the mansion, he is a father who strictly disciplines him. Never thought that his father would look so useless, never thought that he would raise seven outhouses outside his mother and him behind his back, and gave birth to seventeen heirs.
The splendor of each mansion is comparable to that of Pingjun Prince's Mansion.
Since he was a child, although he and Ye Chang were called a bunch of dandies in the capital, he also had ideals and ambitions, and he wanted to make some achievements by himself without relying on his title. He likes martial arts, but his father felt that Wu had no future, so he asked him to study literature, so he followed his father's advice and prepared to take the imperial examination.
Due to many incidents this year, the imperial examination was postponed, so he did not take part in the examination.
But he didn't expect that his father had one thing in the open, but another behind his back, greedy for three million taels of disaster relief funds, and took such a huge sum of money to support the outhouses and children of seven mansions.
He felt that with such a father, it would be better if he was an orphan like Ye Chang since he was a child.
But one cannot choose one's origin, just like Shen Qi, just like the statement, just like him.
He is the eldest son of Pingjun Prince's Mansion, so he still has to face what should be faced.
Back at Pingjun Palace, Qi Shu had already calmed down. As soon as he got off his horse, the steward ran up and said with a white face, "Young Prince, you...you are finally back! Ten thousand taels of silver raised the outer room and heirs, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill those people... Now that the king of the county is stopping him, the two of them froze... You should go and have a look... "
Qi Shu sneered, "My father still has the strength to stop him, it's really good!"
The butler fell silent for a moment.
Qi Shu took a step to walk inside. As soon as he arrived in the inner courtyard, five guards jumped over the wall and entered the Prince Pingjun's mansion. Standing behind him, one of them said, "Prince Xiaojun, I will wait for your order by the order of my son."
Qi Shu paused, looked back, and said calmly, "Thank you! Come in with me."
"Yes!" The five followed Qi Shu into the inner courtyard.
The housekeeper looked at the five people who suddenly appeared. This man was wearing black brocade clothes, his waist badge was hidden, and his identities could not be identified. They jumped the wall and entered without disturbing the guards of the Prince's Mansion of Pingjun. It can be seen that the martial arts are superb. He walked two steps slowly, not daring to vent his anger.
The story of Qi Shu's copying of the seven mansions did not shy away from anyone. In less than an hour, the news spread in the streets and alleys of the capital that King Pingjun used greedy money to raise seven concubine and seventeen heirs.
All the mansions got the news at the first time, and the Su Mansion naturally also got the news.
After Su Fengnuan heard about it, she was very surprised, "Prince Pingjun raised so many concubines? And gave birth to so many heirs?"
Qian Han nodded.
Su Feng is warm and heartbroken. She has heard that Princess Pingjun is very powerful and controls the mansion very strictly, but it seems that no matter how powerful a woman is, she can't control the lustful nature of men. The mansion of Pingjun Palace is still full of concubines. Unexpectedly, seven other outer chambers were arranged and seventeen children were born. This is really a huge number just like the silver taels he was greedy for.
She said to Qian Han, "According to what you said, the seven mansions are paved with gold bricks, numerous servants, and their splendor is comparable to that of the Prince of Pingjun's mansion. After all these years, have all those taels of money been spent on it?"
Qian Han said, "Three million taels is not a small amount, but if the seven mansions are spent like flowing water, it will cost about 300,000 taels a year."
Su Fengnuan said speechlessly, "This Prince Ping is really a talent."
Qian Han nodded.
Su Fengnuan suddenly smiled and said, "The brothers that Ye Chang handed over all have a capable old man." After finishing speaking, he asked him, "Have you found out? Why did he contradict the emperor? Let the emperor thunder In a rage, you actually smashed the Imperial Study Room?"
Qian Han shook his head, "I'm afraid this matter can only wait for the prince to come, the girl will ask the prince."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
That night, after Ye Chang left the household department, he went straight back to the Rong An Palace instead of going to the Su Mansion.
After Su Fengnuan heard that he had returned to Rong'an Palace, he smiled at Qianhan and said, "Your family must have conflicted with the emperor because of me."
Qian Han was taken aback, "Why does the girl guess like this?"
Su Fengnuan smiled and said, "He, he doesn't want to be deceived when I ask, and he is afraid that he won't be able to deceive me, so he decided not to come to Su's house today. It must be because it is related to me."
Qianhan was speechless.
Su Fengnuan propped his forehead, looked out the window and said, "Let me think about it, even though I deliberately hid the matter from him about my health, I'm afraid I couldn't hide it from him. , So, taking advantage of today's ink corruption case, we have settled with the emperor."
