Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 350; I can’t help myself

Sure enough, Gao Fu didn't find any clues after a thorough investigation. He couldn't even find out what was special about Lao Zhang and Lao Li.

However, investigation revealed that Lao Zhang and Lao Li were indeed interested in selling their shares. During this period, people came to negotiate one after another.

Many nobles and nobles went there, but Lao Zhang and Lao Li meant that the one with the highest price would get it.

"No problem at all?"

"Yes, the old slave arranged for someone to conduct a detailed investigation. There is indeed no problem. Maybe those suspicious places are just coincidences."

coincide? Emperor Zhaowu didn't believe that all this was a coincidence, but he trusted Gao Fu very much.

Over the years, Gao Fu has always been at ease when doing things and has never made any mistakes.

He pondered for a while, nodded and said, "That's all, tell me how the investigation went on the other matter?"

Hearing this, Gao Fu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I haven't gotten the result yet."

Emperor Zhaowu did not blame him for this.

"Tell me if you have news."

Gao Fu responded and stepped aside.

Two days later, Hongxiu brought another news, saying that someone had found Lao Li and wanted to buy shares.

The price offered was not bad, 40,000 yuan per share.

"What is the identity of the other party?"

"It's nothing special. He is just an ordinary businessman. When we auctioned shares earlier, he also participated, but he was a little hesitant at the time and failed to get the shares in the end."

Huo Junyao nodded and said, "Sell it."

The purpose of attracting three people with two shares is to divide them. Now that the effect has been achieved, there is no need to keep two shares. Only one share will trigger a fierce fight among them.

Hongxiu went down to deliver the message.

At the same time, the news that Lao Li wanted to sell his shares also spread. After King Qi got the news, he hurriedly asked people to investigate who wanted to buy it. The same was true for King Chu.

The prince also arranged for people to investigate.

"You are so brave that you actually dare to steal my things. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

King Qi spent a lot of effort for the shares. It was better for him to have two people sell them, so that as long as he had enough money, he could get the shares from one person.

But if there is only one person, then the prince and the king of Chu will definitely stare at him. Now he has lost 20,000 yuan inexplicably, and one of the prince and the king of Chu has an extra 20,000 yuan.

He has no advantage. If he fails to get the shares in the end, he will be even more disadvantaged. He doesn't want to spend so much effort on planning and getting nothing in the end.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to stop it? I'm afraid this is inappropriate. You have been grounded. The Emperor must have someone watching over you."

"If you are discovered, your advantage in front will be lost."

Zhao Sanshun was killed earlier, and he was the victim. Although he was also banned, everyone knew that this was Emperor Zhaowu's way of preventing his three sons from continuing to fight.

As long as King Qi doesn't move and waits calmly, things will eventually come to light, and Emperor Zhaowu will definitely give him an explanation when the time comes.

If King Qi attacks an innocent person at this time and is discovered by Emperor Zhaowu, his image will be greatly compromised, and even Emperor Zhaowu will be furious.

The current emperor of the Yu Dynasty is a rare benevolent king. It is no exaggeration to say that he loves his people like a son. If he knew that his son killed innocent people for money, he would definitely be furious.

"However, I don't have much money in my hands now. If I have to compete with Prince Chu for the last share, I'm afraid I won't have a chance of winning." "Having said that, Your Majesty, we can start from another aspect."

King Qi was startled and then asked, "On the other hand?"

"Yes, my lord, have you ever thought about why the prince has so much money?"

"If the King of Chu is rich, that's normal. After all, the King of Chu's family is not weak and has been running a family for many years. But why does the prince have so much money?"

"Where did he get all this money?"

King Qi narrowed his eyes slightly after being criticized by his staff. He naturally knew what the prince's situation was.

It's just that I never noticed it before. After all, the prince was very favored in the past and received many rewards from the emperor and queen. But when he was suddenly pointed out, King Qi felt a little strange.

During this period, he spent a lot of thought on raising money. He was not joking when he told Emperor Zhaowu in the imperial study that day that he almost went bankrupt.

He sold almost all his properties outside Prince Qi's Mansion, and even asked Princess Qi to borrow a lot of dowry, and his maternal family also helped prepare a lot.

Although the prince received many rewards in the past, most of them were exclusively for the royal family and could not be sold among the people.

So how can one raise 50,000 to 60,000 guan in a short time if he has no property, no wife and dowry, and no capable prince?
This is indeed a problem.

"Could it be Mr. Cao Guo?"

"I don't rule out this possibility, but where did Cao Guogong get so much money? He doesn't look like a rich man."

King Qi was silent, as if he saw an opportunity.

"You are right. I am a victim now. I should not give up this identity. Arrange people to investigate the prince's recent situation. At the same time, Duke Cao will also investigate. I want to know what the prince is using. How did you get this money?"

The men immediately took orders.

On the other side, Prince Chu's Mansion was relatively calm. Princess Chu looked at her husband and hesitated several times.

Aware of the princess's condition, King Chu smiled tenderly.

"What do you want to say, concubine?"

"Your Majesty, can we stop fighting?"

Princess Chu seemed to have used great courage to say this.

After hearing this, the smile on King Chu's face paused, and then turned from gentleness to bitterness. He walked to Princess Chu's side to rest and took her hand.

"It's not that I have to fight, it's that I can't help myself."

"Whether it is the Crown Prince or the Prince of Qi, they are not good people. If we don't fight, when they come to power, our Chu Prince's Palace will definitely be the first to be liquidated."

"Sitting and waiting is waiting for death. In this case, it is better to fight, maybe there is a glimmer of hope."

Ever since he left the palace to open a palace and entered the court to participate in politics, he had been unable to help himself.

He doesn't want to fight, but the people behind him do.

At that time, the King of Qi kept suppressing him for power. In order to survive, he had to resist, and then it slowly evolved into a battle between the two kings.

As the prince grew up, he also joined in. As the crown prince of a country, the prince must also want to control his own power. When he entered the court, he and the King of Qi often made trouble.

What can he do?
Princess Chu was silent. She didn't know that her husband could not help himself, but she was afraid because now it was not just about words and fighting in the court.

They had started fighting privately, and even killed someone. She was really afraid that her husband would be hurt.
