I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 97
Seeing how his adopted son was crying, the old eunuch who had gone through three dynasties, seventy-four, felt a pain in his heart, and stretched out his hand tremblingly to rub Jiang Yu's head.

Turning around and kneeling on the ground, a pair of veteran hands raised up tremblingly, respectfully said:
"The old slave Yongle's eighth year, the guardian of the palace, Guo Liuhu, kowtowed to His Majesty."

Looking at Guo Liuhu's white hair and drooping eyelids, Li Tian sighed lightly, and waved to Jiang Bao to help him up:

"Guo Liuhu, you can be convicted."

"The old slave is guilty."

Guo Liuhu has been an eunuch for decades, so he naturally knows that stealing the treasury is a capital offense. However, he has reached his seventies, and Guo Liuhu has already looked down on life and death. The only thing he can't let go of is Jiang Yu, who had a bright future.

"Your Majesty, the matter of stealing the treasury of the inner court was handled by the old slave alone, and has nothing to do with others. I hope that your majesty will spare the dog's life for the sake of the old slave's dying."

After saying that, Guo Liuhu struggled to bend down and kowtow again.

Li Tian frowned when he heard this, he had actually intended to spare Guo Liuhu and Guo Liuhu after hearing Jiang Bao talk about the old eunuchs in the palace, but what Guo Liuhu said now made Li Tian very upset.

Jiang Yu pleaded with Guo Liuhu just now, and now Guo Liuhu pleaded with Jiang Yu again. Obviously these two made mistakes, so why did he look like a villain in the end.

As soon as Li Tian frowned, Jiang Bao knew that the emperor must be unhappy with Guo Liuhu and his son pleading with each other, so he tightly grabbed Guo Liuhu's arm to prevent him from kneeling down, and hurriedly shouted:

"You've come to this point and you still want to deceive His Majesty, Guo Liuhu, you are really daring."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Bao looked at Li Tiandao again:
"Your Majesty, the crimes of Guo Liuhu and Jiang Yu have been confirmed. This old servant thinks it is better to kill them now."

Li Tian hummed and laughed twice, and didn't pick up Jiang Bao's words. How could he fail to see that Jiang Bao was playing a trick of retreating to advance here.

"Guo Liuhu, I'll just ask you once, why did you steal my treasury? With your salary after retiring as the fifth-rank supervisor, I don't believe it's not enough for you to spend your old age peacefully."

Hearing Li Tian's unkind tone, Guo Liuhu became calmer, and said with regret on his face:
"This old servant dare not lie to His Majesty. It was because of the old slave's lard and his obsession with gambling that he did such a thing."

Gamble?

Li Tian suddenly sneered, and the original pity in his heart disappeared:

"Guo Liuhu, do you think I'm a fool?"

Guo Liuhu has distributed the money for reselling Fanhuo to a group of old brothers.At this moment, apart from Jiang Yu, he had nothing to worry about in his heart, and he made up his mind to bear it all alone. Guo Liuhu didn't want to have any troubles, so he took out his acting skills all his life and cried:
"Your Majesty, this old slave is terrified, but that's why."

Jiang Bao watched with anxiety in his heart, this Guo Liuhu had been a big crotch all his life, why didn't he see what the emperor meant, but he had already opened his mouth before, so he didn't dare to speak for Guo Liuhu now.

"Okay, okay." Li Tian laughed loudly, and then his face changed:

"Since you want one person to do things and one person to be responsible, then I won't force you any more.

Jiang Bao, I passed on my oral order that Guo Liuhu colluded with Jiang Yu to steal the treasury and resell foreign goods. This crime cannot be punished. After autumn, he will be executed in front of the gate of the inner court, as a warning to everyone else. "

Unexpectedly, the emperor sentenced Guo Liuhu and his wife to death so quickly, Jiang Bao was caught off guard for a moment, and was taken aback for a moment before recovering and responding.

Hearing the words "Qiu Hou Li Zhan", Jiang Yu's face turned pale, and blood flowed from his lips.On the other hand, Guo Liuhu's expression relaxed, as if he had been greatly relieved.

Jiang Yu knelt on the ground and dragged him in front of Guo Liuhu, thousands of emotions rushed into his heart in an instant:

"father."

"Hey." Guo Liuhu responded, stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Yu into his arms, his old eyes were full of whirling:

"Oh, it's all my father's fault. This useless old thing has caused you a lot of trouble."

"How could there be a son today without a father? A son doesn't blame his father."

"It's good not to complain. It's good not to complain. In the next life, my father will not cut eggs. We will be father and son."

The date of death has been fixed, and Guo Liuhu and Jiang Yu have nothing to fear. You talk to each other without any scruples, regardless of whether you are still in the main hall of the Jinyiwei government office.

Li Tian watched Guo Liuhu and his father-son relationship expressionlessly, waved his hands and said casually:
"Huang Yan, take them to Dongchang Prison, I don't want to see them."

"Here."

Although Huang Yan was quite moved in his heart, it was an indisputable fact that Guo Liuhu and his wife stole the treasury, and he didn't have any psychological burden.

Watching Guo Liuhu and Guo Liuhu being roughly pulled away by the Dongchang fans, Jiang Bao shrugged his shoulders, sighed, straightened his expression, and turned to look at Li Tiandao:
"Your Majesty, do you still want to continue to track down the stolen money?"

"What do you say?"

Li Tian knew in his heart why Jiang Bao wanted to ask this question, so he answered with half a smile but squinting his eyes.

Jiang Bao originally wanted to let the emperor know what kind of life the old eunuchs were living by tracking down the stolen money, but seeing the emperor's expression now, it seemed that he knew it already. After a little thought, Jiang Bao made up his mind:

"The old slave thought, don't pursue it any more."

Hey, when will Jiang Bao say such things.

Jiang Bao's resolute words really surprised Li Tian a bit. He took a deep look at Jiang Bao, and Li Tian turned to look at Wang Fudao:

"Wang Fu, what do you think? Should I continue to track down the stolen money?"

Although Wang Fu didn't understand what the emperor meant, but he believed that Chief Jiang must understand, he immediately arched his hands and shook his head in agreement:
"Your Majesty, the old slave has the same opinion as Director Jiang, so it's better not to pursue it."

"Then give me a reason not to pursue it." Li Tian said lightly.

"This one……"

Wang Fu was originally following the trend, but in fact he wanted to continue to investigate. Now Li Tian asked the question, but couldn't say anything.

Li Tian pursed his lips and snorted twice, not wanting to embarrass Manager Wang, he cleared his throat and said:
"Although Guo Liuhu didn't want to say it, I actually guessed it, Guo Liuhu and the others stole my treasury, which is no different from reselling things from the palace by the imperial supervisor of the Xixin Department.

It's just that I'm worried about being old and have nothing to support, so I will start making money wantonly from now on.Jiang Bao, I am right. "

Li Tian got to the point in one word, and Jiang Bao nodded excitedly:

"Your Majesty said it's not bad. That's why we, the eunuchs, always want to earn some money to spend our later lives."

Li Tian rolled his eyes when he heard the words, took Jiang Bao out directly, and scolded with a blunt smile:

"I'm talking about eunuchs below the fifth rank, so fucking don't put gold on your face. Your greed for Mo Zhen's imperial property is purely a cunning scheme, and it has nothing to do with earning money for retirement."
