The return of the first daughter

Just as he was talking, a eunuch outside hurried in and told the emperor that the heads of the Zheng and Wang families had also come and asked to see the emperor on an urgent matter.

Seeing this, the emperor naturally asked people to come in immediately, and was planning to use these two companies to set a benchmark for the other companies and set a standard!

However, what the emperor didn't expect was that the Patriarchs of King Zheng's family knelt down to him as soon as they came in, and almost didn't cry out on the spot.

As soon as the Patriarchs of Zheng and Wang opened their mouths, they said that the 100 million taels of silver they had managed to get together these days had disappeared, which broke the hearts of the two families into countless pieces.

You must know that it took a lot of effort for the two families to come up with such a large sum of cash, but in the blink of an eye, so much money was gone, gone! !

When the emperor heard this, he was startled, and hurriedly signaled the two of them not to panic, but to talk about what happened.

After some explanations, the emperor knew what had happened.

It turned out that the Zheng family was planning to personally deliver the large amount of banknotes to the palace early in the morning to complete the task ahead of schedule, but they did not expect that the large boxes that were still there last night had disappeared early this morning. !

The Patriarch of the Zheng family almost lost his mind at the time, and sent someone to search the mansion upside down but couldn't find it, so he had no choice but to rush into the palace to face the saint.

But the Wang family was even more reckless, and the good 100 million taels were robbed by a group of people in the middle of being sent to the palace!Robbed!

The two families even wanted to die, not to mention that they managed to scrape together the money.What's more important is how they can pay the emperor's job now!

The emperor was also dumbfounded after hearing this, and couldn't even speak for a long time.

At this time, the emperor was not sure whether the words of Zheng and Wang's family were true or false.If it is true, then who is so courageous to take such a targeted opportunity to attack the two families?

If it is false, have these two families really been playing tricks on him?

Seeing the unbelievable look on the emperor's face, the Patriarchs of King Zheng and King explained repeatedly on the spot, swearing that what they said was true.Now that they themselves are anxious to die, they also ask the emperor to make decisions for them, find out who is responsible for the crime as soon as possible, and get back the huge sum of money that they worked so hard to raise for their offerings!

"Oh my God, I didn't expect that not only those hardest-hit areas were robbed, but these people even dared to come to the capital to rob. It's too rampant!"

King Meng took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, you see, we are not wrong. It's not that we don't want to pay the money, but that we really have nothing to do. We really need to look into this matter and see if it is true." It's not that someone is deliberately playing tricks in the dark. In Yichen's humble opinion, the matter may not be simple!"

"Yes. Previously, I thought it was just our family that was in trouble. Now, almost every family has been counted, but each family's situation is different. It seems that someone deliberately made trouble in the dark to make our family think about it." There is no way to raise money if you break your head!" Luo Wang also immediately followed up.

The head of the Zhang family also did not lag behind, and immediately echoed: "Reporting to the emperor, I also feel that someone is deliberately sabotaging it. As a result, none of our families can complete the holy order within the stipulated time. You see, even Zheng and Wang The two families finally managed to overcome all difficulties and dangers to make up enough money. But at the last moment, they were robbed by someone in the open. Didn't it make it clear that they wanted to make our families unable to fulfill your orders, and wanted to harm our families? ?"

"It's more than just trying to harm our family. In my opinion, someone might deliberately use this matter to provoke conflicts between the three kings and four families... and the emperor. Such intentions are really terrifying!"

Han Feng looked suddenly enlightened and fearful, and said in horror, as if he was talking to himself, and it seemed that he was really shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

The emperor couldn't help but start to waver at this moment.

At the beginning, he fully believed that the four families of Meng, Luo, Zhang, and Han deliberately joined forces to resist the edict, but now the Zheng and Wang families also had such an accident.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Zheng and Wang to lie, so there are only two possibilities left!

First, the four families of Meng, Luo, Zhang, and Han jointly calculated the Zheng and Wang families, so as to achieve the balance of each family.If he can't even come up with money, even if he wants to take the opportunity to punish, he can't really deal with every family at once because of this.

Second, not only the Zheng and Wang families, but the entire Three Kings and Four Families were secretly calculated. Although the specific circumstances of each family were different, the final result was that each family could not get the money within the stipulated time limit. In this way, someone deliberately wants to use his hands to punish the three kings and four families, so as to achieve other purposes that are not yet known.

Now it seems that there are two possibilities, it is difficult to say what is the absolute situation, and the expressions of several clubs here do not seem to be lying, it really makes him feel that someone secretly deliberately took this opportunity to provoke trouble, If it wasn't for these few remaining families who were secretly playing tricks, who could it be?

The emperor was angry and annoyed, no matter what the situation was, he could no longer target them because they couldn't pay the stipulated money!In this way, the things planned for so long before can only be calculated in vain.

I was already very angry, but now people from the three kings and four families, including Zheng Wang's family, are all crying and begging him to make decisions for them, to find out the truth for them, and to give them justice, it is really annoying But he had to endure it.

Before he found out the truth, he couldn't take anyone's knife for no reason, so he had to change his previous strong attitude towards the Meng, Luo, Zhang, and Han families, and temporarily slowed down his words.

I only said that I will definitely investigate this matter and find out who is making trouble behind it!

Hearing the commotion at the head again, it really hurts even more, so he simply waved his hand to let everyone back down first.As for the 100 million taels, there was nothing he could do but let it go. At least until everything was found out, he couldn't force the families to take out so much money anymore.

As soon as everyone left, the emperor immediately summoned his confidantes to order him to investigate the matter with all his might, but before the person who received the order had time to take the order, other palace servants hurried in with small steps.

The palace servants whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and the emperor's face darkened as he heard it, but finally he was so angry that he slapped his hands on the table and cursed: "I can't spare him, this villain!"

The people in the hall were all frightened and fell to their knees. No one knew why the emperor was so angry, but none of them dared to make a sound.

"Come on, call the prince over here immediately!" The emperor was so angry that he stood up while yelling loudly, almost unable to catch his breath, staggering so much that he almost passed out.

Fortunately, the palace servants on the side had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and supported the emperor.

Everyone was terrified immediately, and hurriedly ordered people to pass on to the imperial physician, watching the chaos in the palace for a while made people feel that the atmosphere was extremely tense.

However, these matters are no longer related to the Meng, Luo, Zhang, and Han families. After they came down from the palace, they went out of the palace together, and never talked to the Zheng and Wang families from the beginning to the end.

The Patriarchs of the Zheng and Wang families all looked unlucky at this time, they were far behind and did not dare to go forward to greet the four people and walk with them.

"Brother Zheng, do you think that the money of our two families will be cheated by them?" The head of the Wang family said to the head of the Zhang family in a low voice. Although he had such doubts in the hall before, but Did not say it to the emperor in public.

They themselves have no idea about this kind of thing, and there is no evidence at all. Although several companies have discussed with them how not to pay the 100 million taels, it is not enough to prove that the matter was done by these four companies. .

Second, people from the four families were all in the hall at that time. If he had expressed his doubts in this way, he would have been scolded to death by the people of the four families before the emperor could open his mouth. The girders are really knotted!

Although they chose to lean towards the emperor, they didn't want to really enmity with the other four families. At least they knew the strength of the other four families in their hearts. If they really joined hands to kill them, it would not be difficult at all .

Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Zheng family thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it shouldn't be them. Even if they had the guts, they didn't dare to make a real move. Such things, their suspicion is too obvious."

"That's not what they said, who the hell stole the money from our two families?" The Patriarch of the Wang family sighed and said, "If I had known this would happen, I might as well have been as lazy to raise the money as the others. Now it's all right, the money has flown, and the emperor didn't get any good money, what kind of trouble are we suffering!"

The Patriarch of the Zheng family's mind is no better than the Patriarch of the Wang family's. The feeling of digging one's heart and flesh is not something that everyone can experience.

"Haven't you heard that a few days ago, the crown prince secretly sent someone to court the four families of Luo, Meng, Zhang, and Han, but he didn't have any contact with our two families! What does this mean? It means that the crown prince knows about us. The two have already leaned towards the emperor, so they don't have any hope for us anymore."

The Patriarch of the Zheng family had a solemn expression, and continued: "Besides, I also heard that the four families of Luo, Meng, Zhang, and Han did not simply agree to the prince's wooing, so in order to get the support of the four families, the prince has to do something. Something happened! Well, no matter what, we don’t need to speculate for the time being, the emperor will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible!" (To be continued.
