After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 106

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment said respectfully: "The humble minister sent someone to take you to the dungeon, if you need anything, just ask King Chen."

After that, he casually pointed to a jailer to lead the way for King Chen.

King Chen followed the cell leader to the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment.

The dungeon is really underground. After turning around a few times along the stairs, the unpleasant smell quickly filled the nostrils, and the sight became darker and darker. The leader who led the way dutifully led the way and explained: "Master Qu is a repeat offender, so he still has to go inside his cell. Your lord, be careful where you step."

King Chen walked forward without changing his face, but he was complaining crazily in his heart. Curiosity is really bad, and he should have waited if he had known earlier.

When the prisoners in the cell saw someone coming in, they suddenly made a noise. The head of the cell was afraid of startling King Chen, so he pulled out the whip on his body and pulled it out. , directly starve you for three days!"

Those prisoners immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak.

After shouting, the cell boss also felt that what he had just done was wrong, so he carefully pleaded guilty, "It's a lowly post and reckless, but these prisoners can't do without beating them, it's very noisy!"

King Chen gave a noncommittal "hmm": "No problem, let's lead the way."

The head of the prison hurriedly quickened his pace, turned two corners in the dungeon, and ran into a jailer head-on. He was holding a food box. When he saw a few people coming, he immediately stood aside and bowed his head. .”

Chen Wang flicked his sleeves, motioned him to get up and passed him and walked forward, until the noise gradually died down, the cell boss stopped.

In the prison cell, Qu Tingzhen had long since lost the dignified appearance he had when facing up. He was wearing shackles on his hands and feet, wearing a prison uniform, his hair was disheveled, and he was sitting crookedly on the ground. It looks like it has been punished.

King Chen glanced at his side, Ye Hanyu didn't pretend to be dumb this time, and directly ordered the cell boss: "Open the cell door."

The cell head quickly stepped forward and took out the key, and opened the cell door.

"You go out first, I will call you after the king finishes asking."

The prison boss didn't say much, not to mention that Qu Tingzhen was just a civil servant, with no strength to restrain a chicken, even a military commander, he couldn't do much with his hands and feet shackled, and he left directly when he got the order.

After he left, Ye Hanyu said: "The prince just waits for his subordinates outside, the inside is dirty, don't smoke the prince."

King Chen said "Mmm", and Qu Tingzhen finally raised his head until then.

"Prince Chen is here, but what do you want to ask? Unfortunately, I am old and have a bad memory, so I have nothing to say to the prince."

Chen Wang said in his heart, what Lao Liu said is good, this old thing really won't speak easily, but he doesn't know if Lao Liu can really make him speak.

Ye Hanyu said suddenly, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, Mr. Qu just needs to hand over the account book."

Qu Tingzhen looked at the man who spoke suddenly, but unfortunately he was wearing a cloak, and the prison was already dark, so he couldn't see anything clearly.

"What books? What are you talking about?"

[Is it stupid to be an old man?How could I hand over something so important as the account book?It's not that I really don't want to live! 】

"I can understand that you want to rely on the account books to give your family a way out, but Mr. Qu has never thought about it. Maybe that person promised in person, but he wants to kill people behind the scenes? You are dead, can your family still live? "

Qu Tingzhen's pupils constricted immediately: [Impossible, impossible, Madam is the cousin of the imperial concubine, no matter how ruthless she is, she will not kill my family. The people of King Chen must be sowing discord. 】

"Are you still thinking that for the sake of blood relationship, the people behind you won't do anything to you?

Then do you remember how much silver they took from you? "

Qu Tingzhen: [How can I not remember?When I was the vice-manager, I earned a little less, only 10,000+ taels of silver per year, 200% of which was given to the seventh prince and the imperial concubine. Most of the money was given to the Seventh Prince, and more than [-] million taels of silver were also handed over. 】

Ye Hanyu was startled by this number, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly became relaxed. A head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been greedy for nearly 300 million taels of silver in five years, he is simply damned!

The most irritating thing is that the seventh brother actually put all the money of the emperor into his own pocket, he is so unfilial to the extreme!
"Since you were transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you have embezzled nearly 300 million taels of silver, and about 200% of them were sent to the people behind you. The deficit of more than [-] million taels, Mr. Qu has thought about how to make up for it. Have you got the money?"

King Chen was taken aback by his words, what is nearly 300 million taels of silver, where did Lao Liu get such a figure?

A mere head of the House of Internal Affairs dared to covet so much money, and he even handed over [-]% of it. He belongs to Lao Qi, so isn't this money in Lao Qi's hands?

Qu Tingzhen was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the ground: 【How did he know?How did he know?Obviously, I hid the account books well, how could they know so well, did that bitch know that something happened to him, and took the initiative to hand over the account books? 】

"Master Qu, that's more than 200 million taels of silver, how do you mend such a big hole?
You made up your mind not to betray him, but will the people behind you believe it?

As long as he is worried about you for a moment in his mind, your life and the lives of your family will be lost. Don't be too naive, Mr. Qu! "

Qu Tingzhen: [...That's right, the person who wants him to die the most should be the imperial concubine, mother and son.

They must be afraid of me telling the truth, because that is more than 200 million, who is willing to spit it out?

The most important thing is that once the news spreads, the Seventh Prince's reputation will be affected, which will affect his status in the eyes of the emperor. Only when I die can they feel at ease. 】

Qu Tingzhen panted heavily: [Of course I can't keep something so important as the account book at home, but how do the people of King Chen know that there is an account book?Moreover, if King Chen got the account book, why would he ask me for the account book?

It can't be, it can't be that Du Yiqiu used the account book to make a deal with King Chen. King Chen knew that there was an account book, but he couldn't meet Du Yiqiu's conditions, so he planned to make a deal with me, right? 】

"You're lying to me, right? You must know nothing, or you wouldn't have brought up the account book first!"

Ye Hanyu thought to herself: Of course I lied to you, if I didn't lie to you, why would you think, if you don't want me to know what you did?
"Master Qu, how can this be called cheating? We just gave you a chance to make meritorious deeds. If you greedy such a large sum of money, you must die, but you have to leave a root for the Qu family.

You hand over the account book to a woman, and if our lord just scares her a little, she will say anything. "
