After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 685 The Destroyed Phoebe Forest
The person who reported the case was a rich family surnamed Li, who had some relationship with a nobleman in the capital. The rich family had an ancestral land outside Nancheng, and the harvest on that land was not good, so his grandfather planted trees.

The plant is nanmu, although it is not the golden nanmu commonly used by the royal family, but it is also a very expensive small nanmu.

Phoebe grows slowly and has grown for a full 110 years. It will be harvested and sold for money in more than ten years. However, just a few days ago, it was razed to the ground.

A piece of forest, nanmu of more than six acres, can sell a lot of money.

But the scene was a mess.

Some were broken from the middle, some were broken at the root, some were broken into several pieces, and some were split in the middle...

This is simply shocking, and I can't bear to look directly at it.

This is even more unacceptable than being stolen. This is completely ruined!
After working hard for more than 100 years, it was about to be reaped, but it was destroyed by others.The pain in my heart cannot be described in words.And the villain who did such insane things must be brought to justice and compensated, otherwise the hatred in his heart will be hard to get rid of!
Ji Yu also attaches great importance to it. With so many nanmu trees, it is almost time to harvest them. The loss is indeed big enough.Others have worked hard and watched for decades, and the property left by the grandfather to the grandson was destroyed overnight!
An inch of nanmu is worth an inch of gold. Even if this is a bit exaggerated, we can see the value of nanmu.

The trees destroyed in this area are roughly estimated to be no less than ten thousand taels of silver!

Such villains who harm others and benefit themselves must be arrested and brought to justice.

When Jing Zhaoyin took over the case and ordered the arrest of the villain, Chu Jingxian's arrogance resounded throughout the capital.

It is said that the running water banquet was open until late at night. Not only did people go to watch the excitement that day, but some people fished in troubled waters and went in to have a good meal, but no one cared.

A little beggar heard that there was such a good thing, so he played smart and went in quietly. He was dressed in rags, but he was not driven out.

However, he was found.

The little beggar was terrified, thinking that this time he would be beaten half to death, or even killed.

He was just too hungry, and when he heard that there was a free banquet, he just wanted to take a bite, even if he didn't sit at the table, it would be fine to just pick up the leftovers on the table.

He was brought before that noble son.

Young Master Qing was surrounded by a lot of flatterers.

The little beggar didn't even dare to raise his head. He knelt on the ground, his face pale and trembling.

Young Master Qinggui said: "Hey, little thing, what happened?"

The crowd next to him clamored to explain the whole story.

Just when the little beggar thought that Mr. Qinggui was going to order him to be beaten to death, he heard Mr. Qinggui's voice like heaven: "This king is very happy today. Since there is a water mat, anyone can come!"

Someone next to him said: "Your Highness, who is a body of a thousand gold, can eat with beggars?"

Young Master Qinggui snorted lightly: "What you are worried about is not my daughter's body, but your own noble body, don't you think it's disrespectful?"

He glanced at the little beggar: "Forget it, what the king is talking about today is having fun with everyone, so I have to take your wishes into account." He waved his hand: "Feng Rui! Looking for restaurants, order each restaurant to hold ten tables of banquets, send Send them to the poverty-stricken house in Beicheng for three days in a row!"

The poor house in Beicheng is the den of beggars.

But all the refugees and beggars settled there, and the place was close to the city gate, so it would not cause chaos in the city.

The little beggar never expected such a good thing to happen, kowtowed to Mr. Qinggui repeatedly.

Young Master Qinggui reached out to help him up, he didn't care about the old and dirty on his body at all.

After hearing that Chu Jingxian had won against Kong Xingchun, he was so happy that he not only set up a banquet for one day, but also booked a hundred banquets for three consecutive days and sent them to the beggar's den in Beicheng.

It also made Chu Chengye and Chu Yuncheng, who was staring at him, laugh endlessly.

The emperor was furious when he learned that he had behaved so shamelessly and misbehaving!The news of the dark guard and Eunuch Liu came back quickly, and even the emperor was surprised to learn the reason!

The emperor said: "King Xuan Chu has an audience!"

Xuanzhi's eunuch went to Chu Wang's mansion, but was in vain, and finally found it in Xinghefang.

At that time, Chu Jingxian was in the most exquisite and luxurious private room in Xinghefang, drinking fine wine, eating delicious food, holding dice in his hands, and being unrestrained.

However, when he heard that the emperor had summoned him, he immediately set off to enter the palace.

As soon as the person stepped into the hall, the smell of alcohol rushed to his face.

The emperor was so angry that he threw the tea bowl at his feet.

Chu Jingxian jumped, avoiding the tea bowl, smiled at the emperor, and bowed his hands in salute: "Father, the emperor is blessed and safe! Who made the father angry, tell the son, the son is willing to do the best for the father !"

The emperor glared at him: "Stop smiling, you bet against Kong Xingchun and won the matter of the General's Mansion, and I haven't settled with you yet! You are extravagant and extravagant, you hold a big banquet, and even set up a poor house for three days in a row. Are you like this?"

Chu Jingxian hurriedly said: "Father, my son and Kong Xingchun gambled against each other, and they won in an open and aboveboard manner, without any secrets, neither using power for personal gain, nor using power to oppress others. Look at it. I am happy that I have won. Anyway, I did not pay the money, so I am so generous. Since the father thinks it is not good, I will not do this in the future! No matter what, don’t be angry! "

The emperor glanced at him.

In the past, Lao Qi was like this in front of him, being generous and smiling.Just like ordinary people, the youngest son acts like a baby in front of his father.

Although he is a dude, he doesn't cause much trouble. He likes to eat, drink and have fun, and uses his own monthly salary.He likes to gamble and play, and occasionally competes with others, not because of his status as a prince, but because of his own ability!

He laughed whenever he wanted to in front of him, and said whatever he wanted to say, without any scruples, but there was no fuss.He also enjoyed this father-son relationship.

Since when did Lao Qi stop talking to him like this?

It seems that three years ago, there was a little conflict between Concubine Ning and Concubine De. He stood by Concubine Ning and grounded Concubine De.

He knew Concubine De was wronged, but Concubine Ning did a very clever job of framing her.

He's used to things like women in the harem being jealous and jealous. It's not that he doesn't know about those tricks, but he doesn't want to care about them. Since Concubine De has no way to prove her innocence, and Concubine Ning's evidence points to her, He didn't have time to judge black and white for them, and deal with them with evidence, "impartial", which is also his usual way of dealing with them.

Chu Jingxian felt sorry for Concubine De, and immediately asked for an order to enter the palace after learning about it. After that, he just did it.

At that time, the emperor felt that Chu Jingxian finally understood the difference between father and son, and after seeing the majesty of the emperor, he also became calm.

Later, he also felt a little pity for the only son in the palace who got along with him as a father and son, not as a monarch and minister, like all sons, but as a king, he is lonely.As a prince, he has the code of conduct of a prince, is calm and courteous, and doesn't show off and mess around, isn't he better than the cynical and bohemian old Qi?
To this day, seeing Chu Jingxian speak to him in such a tone again, a trace of nostalgia arose in his heart.

However, the emotion in his heart was only for a moment, and he said: "It has been many days since I returned to Beijing, why don't you go to the palace to see your mother and concubine?"

Chu Jingxian smiled, his face full of spring breeze suddenly froze, then he lowered his head slightly and said, "I know I was wrong, I will go to see my mother and concubine later!"

The emperor knowingly asked: "You were very filial in the past, what happened to make you have a quarrel with your mother and concubine?"

Chu Jingxian lowered his head and said, "There is no quarrel, it's just that my minister is busy and delayed..."

"The so-called busyness of your business is to have a luxurious game with Kong Xingchun? Is it to get drunk at Xinghefang every day? Is it to call friends and get drunk?"

"My son, my son..." Chu Jingxian said with a look of embarrassment: "Father, my son just suffered from the war and feels that life in the capital is easier. Now that I have returned to the capital, I want to indulge for a few days. No, no father." Is it so embarrassing to say?"

The emperor said: "Hmph!"

Chu Jingxian was immediately downcast, with a dejected look on his face.

The emperor said: "Not yet?"

Chu Jingxian hesitated to speak, but finally gritted his teeth, and said with a bit of indignation: "Then Hu Fengxin, my minister once regarded him as an uncle, but he didn't treat my minister as a nephew."

"What do you mean? Tell me in detail!" The emperor, who had known the cause and effect for a long time, had an unfathomable mind, and there was no clue on his face.

Now that Chu Jingxian has opened his mouth, there is no need to hide it behind him. He said: "In the middle of September last year, the battle between the minister and the Chenglan Kingdom was stalemate. At such an urgent time, the food and grass arrived half a month late. In half a month, our army ran out of rations, if my servant hadn't robbed the enemy's rations and relieved the urgent need, the result of the battle would have been a disastrous defeat!"

The emperor frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

Chu Jingxian nodded, filled with righteous indignation: "Don't say that he and I are still uncles and nephews in name, but we have never met. It is a matter of national affairs, and he shouldn't be like this!"

"So you even hate your mother and concubine because of this?"

"It's not hatred!" Chu Jingxian lowered his head with a weary expression, "It's just that when I see my concubine, I will definitely think of Hu Fengxin treating me like this, so I feel conflicted for a while!"

The emperor said: "Hu Fengxin, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was also the head of the food supervision department at that time. He actually neglected his duties. I can't forgive him!"

Chu Jingxian said: "Thank you, Father!"

The emperor said: "Didn't you say you want to share my worries? When are you going to go to court?"

Chu Jingxian's eyes flickered, and he said without confidence: "Father, the battle is very hard. Can you allow this son to rest for a few more days?"

The emperor's face sank: "You have been resting for half a month, isn't that enough? From tomorrow onwards, you must participate in the morning court. If you fail to do it once, I will fine you a year's salary!"

Chu Jingxian raised his head abruptly, with a shocked and unacceptable expression, he said, "Father..."

"I have made up my mind! Withdraw!"

Chu Jingxian looked at the emperor pleadingly with a pair of wet eyes.

The emperor said with a sullen face: "Go away! Go see your mother and concubine!"

Chu Jingxian had no choice but to leave.

Seeing his back disappear into the hall, how can the emperor still have the angry look on his face?He even had a smile on his face.

Eunuch Liu, who has been waiting by the side like a transparent person, couldn't help laughing.

This smile made the emperor pay attention to him, and the emperor said: "What are you laughing at, old man?"

Eunuch Liu said jokingly: "Your Highness the Seventh Prince likes to play, and this trick of the emperor will make him uncomfortable for a while."

The emperor said: "Lao Qi is smart, if he really wants to share my worries, I will indeed be able to relax a lot!"

"Your Majesty the Seventh Prince has the heart of a child. Although the emperor treats him harshly, it is for his own good. He will understand!"

The emperor's eyes were obviously cloudy, but there seemed to be a gleam of light inside: "Instead of giving Lao Qi eye drops in front of me today, you praised him instead?"

Eunuch Liu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you say that, the slaves will be terrified! What is the status of the prince? Gold is honored and jade is precious! The old slave is just an eunuch. I borrowed a hundred courage from the slave, and the slave dare not speak right and wrong of the princes. The slave is no different. It doesn't mean that His Royal Highness Wei Qi said good things."

"That's enough, that's enough. Look at the one who scared you. I know that you, an old bastard, are just trying to please me. From now on, don't play tricks on me in front of me!"

"Your majesty is wise, this old servant is so careful that the emperor can see through it at a glance! This old servant dare not, but I will remember it!" Eunuch Liu promised Niannian.

The emperor is very satisfied, Lao Qi, he is capable.

Although Chenglan Xiaoguo is small, it is not easy to fight. Twenty years ago, Chenglan Kingdom came to commit crimes. Every two or three years, they had to send a general, but those people just beat them away.Just like Lao Qi, in less than a year, he not only drove away the invading Chenglan soldiers, but also directly attacked their capital, and took Chenglan Kingdom into the territory of Dongxia.

Since then, the territory of Dongxia Kingdom has grown larger.

This is a great achievement for Lao Qi, no matter who is replaced, he must be overjoyed and secretly have other thoughts.However, Lao Qi didn't take it to heart at all.When he returned to the capital, he was still the same as before, only wanting to be a dandy.

The only reason he is arrogant because of his achievements is probably that he didn't dare to gamble too much before, but this time, he dared to gamble with the Chu Palace!

Clever and unambitious, he can do the things entrusted to him beautifully, but he won't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have, and now he has separated from Concubine De.

Such a capable and non-threatening son, there is no need to use it for nothing!
This is to rest assured, unlike those wolf cubs who only want his position.

The emperor said comfortably: "Da Zhu, why is the food and grass delayed for half a month?"

Eunuch Liu hurriedly said: "The news I found here is that it was raining heavily. The official ship rushed to the reef and almost sank. Fortunately, it landed in time and went by land. The land is far away, and it is later than the original plan. Half a month!"

"How can a good official ship rush to the reef? Didn't the section of the official ship travel clear the river?"

"Because of this, His Royal Highness specially checked the map and felt that it should not rush to the rocks. This is artificial!"

Eunuch Liu sighed again as he spoke: "The food and grass were delivered late rather than not delivered, and it was caused by natural disasters and accidents. Even if His Royal Highness loses this battle because of this, at most he will be convicted of dereliction of duty and be responsible for this matter." Hu Fengxin, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, did not personally escort the boat, so he picked it very clean."

The emperor didn't speak.

Eunuch Liu was still a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is very filial to Concubine De, and has a good relationship with the Hu family. Why did Hu Fengxin do this?"
