The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 946 Searching the Prince's Mansion

Hearing that his father didn't reprimand him, the third prince looked up in surprise.

Seeing a trace of unbearable flash across his father's face, he panicked. Could it be that his father is not even willing to reprimand himself, is he planning to completely give up on himself and expel himself from the clan?

Or is it that the father wants to get rid of himself and give the second child an explanation?
After all, he didn't want to die, let alone lose his status as a prince.Although the third prince knew that the evidence was convincing, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he planned to defend himself a few words.

He wept bitterly, and took a few steps forward, "Father! This son is really wronged! How could this son poison the second brother? Someone is trying to frame this son! Father! You have to trust my son, My son is timid, how dare you do such a thing?"

The third prince lay on the ground with tears and snot all over his face.I hope that the emperor will feel compassion for him seeing his miserable appearance, and finally give him a light sentence.

Crying and crying, the third prince felt sad from it, and he wasn't completely acting now.

He was really afraid in his heart, he was afraid of losing his current power and status; he was afraid that he would be cut off from the throne and never think about it again; he was even more afraid that he would be given a cup of poisoned wine and lose the glory and wealth of this world.

Glancing at the glittering golden throne above, the third prince cried sincerely.

Now he can only bet that his father still has some affection for him, and for the sake of his mother and concubine, he can spare him.

"Hmph! You said you were framed, who can frame you here? Could it be the boss? Or the prince?"

When the emperor said this, his anger was a little higher than before.

Even now, the third child still refuses to obediently admit his mistake, even daring to say that he was framed.

The emperor glanced at the crown prince and the eldest prince, and felt suffocated when he saw them.

Then he turned his attention to Prince Jing, only to find that Prince Jing was expressionless at the moment, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and he was not moved at all.

snort!This fourth child is also cruel, his brothers killed each other, and the prince almost died in Huangquan, yet he is still indifferent?
"Father! There are quite a few people in this court who are dissatisfied with the elder brother of the crown prince. It is my fault that I am stupid and plotted against! Please forgive me!"

The third prince repeatedly begged for mercy, although it was extremely embarrassing to act like this in front of civil and military officials.

But compared to losing his life and losing his status as a prince, what are these things?
As long as father can spare him today, there will always be a time for him to make a comeback in the future.

"You said you were being plotted by someone, so I ask you, is that girl Lixiang one of yours? Is the secret guard who came into contact with Lixiang later on one of yours?"

The emperor's eyes were full of disappointment, and the youngest didn't even have the courage to admit it.

The prince looked at the third prince with coldness in his eyes, this third prince would really open his eyes and talk nonsense.

Doesn't he know that the more he argues like this, the more disappointed his father will be with him?After so many years, doesn't it mean that the third child still doesn't know the temper of the emperor?
Only by obediently admitting mistakes can we be forgiven.When the father was furious, any sophistry would make the anger in the father's heart even more intense.

Turning his head and looking at the eldest and fourth children standing on the other side, the prince clenched his fists.Compared to these two, the third child is nothing to worry about.

These two are the most difficult to deal with. When they go to the fief, if the two of them do anything in private, he will be beyond his reach.

In fact, it's better to put people under the nose, as long as he doesn't leave the capital, he can know every move of the two of them, so that he can feel more at ease.

"Come here! Bring up those two witnesses, as well as the incriminating evidence copied from the third prince's mansion."

The third prince turned his head and saw that it was Li Xiang and the secret guards he sent to the second prince's residence, and he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split.

Let's not talk about Lixiang first, the hidden guard is a dead man, as long as he is caught, he will bite the poison sac in his mouth and kill himself, but why is this person still here?

Glancing at the two men who had been tortured beyond recognition, and seeing the blood still dripping from the corner of the dead man's mouth, the third prince turned his head and glared at the prince angrily.

The crown prince must have ordered someone to remove the poison sac from this man's mouth, damn it!

No wonder Father started to search his mansion yesterday, it turned out that these two people confessed.

These dead men were originally trained by the grandfather Wan Xuenian's family. After his grandfather died, he secretly took over these people.

The third prince finally felt hopeless. Originally, there was only one Lixiang, so he still had a glimmer of life.

But this person was originally a dead soldier of Wanfu, and he still had the mark of Wanfu on his body, so he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.

"Father! My son-in-law was also deceived by traitors. They urged me to grab the seat of the prince's elder brother. How can I resist the temptation? Please forgive me! Give me another chance! "

Seeing that there was no denying it, the third prince had no choice but to admit it.But he didn't want to die yet, so he could only desperately beg for mercy.

Thinking of the fact that the mansion had been ransacked before dawn, the third prince felt even more terrified.

"Kuang Aiqing! Tell me what evidence was found in the third prince's residence last night?"

Because the ceremony for establishing the crown prince will be held early this morning, and the emperor is already old, so naturally he can't work too hard, so he still doesn't know the results of Kuang Zhaoying's inspection.

"Report to the emperor! Last night, when Weichen led his troops to search the mansion, he found gold, silver and silver notes in the third prince's mansion, totaling more than 120 million taels. There are still many land deeds in the mansion. It is estimated that there are about Ten hectares, and the rest of the decorations and jewelry have not yet been accounted for.”

The more Kuang Zhaoying said, the more serious the emperor's face became.Until later, the emperor's gloomy face echoed in the hall accompanied by violent panting.

In the main hall, the needle drop could be heard originally, but now it is boiling.

Gu Chengyu was a little stunned. Even if the third prince ate it secretly, he would have to wipe his mouth clean, right?Couldn't those silver and land deeds be hidden elsewhere?

Probably he didn't expect that his mansion would be raided, otherwise how could he be so blatant?
The princes of the Dayan Dynasty would all have fiefs, so before they had fiefs, the emperor would not allocate so many fertile fields to the princes.

As for the silver and jewelry, these were allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Prince's Mansion.Everything in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is marked and registered.

Since Kuang Zhaoying said so, it means that the banknotes and silver are unmarked.How the money came about is open to debate.

Besides, as long as you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find the accounts and compare the two, you will be able to know how much money the third prince has accepted in bribes.

As for why there are so many land deeds, it is probably due to the enclosure.Gu Chengyu didn't know the specific operation.

But it is nothing more than those types, one is to occupy the unowned wasteland, and the other is to replace all the barren and barren fields with good fields.
