Mu Jiang had known that he would not be able to escape this level. When he saw the Imperial Forest Army bringing the **** bead here, he was already mentally prepared to be summoned by His Majesty the Seventh Prince to settle the score. But he never expected that the seventh prince would come early or late, and would squeeze in just when the fourth prince was in trouble. What is this for? Are the princes fighting in a group? Should I be able to cope with this kind of fighting power?
Mu Jiang was very self-aware and defined this situation as "coping with" rather than "dealing with". What a joke, looking at the whole country, who has the right person to deal with the prince? Which one of these princes is not so domineering as to go to heaven? He was tricked by that **** girl today. He thought to himself that when he goes back, he will lock that girl in the yard and never let her out again.
"Your Majesty the Seventh Highness." Mu Jiang bowed again and sweat began to form on his forehead. The most fairy-like prince in Dashun is an existence that no one dares to ignore. If anyone really thinks that the inner temperament of the seventh prince is consistent with his appearance, that is a big mistake. wrong. In fact, if this prince is severely offended, his explosive power will be even greater than that of the Ninth Prince.
"Master Mu." Xuan Tianhua had already sat down on the other side of Xuan Tianming. He lifted his robe with his hands, and every movement was so natural, like an immortal. But what he said was so hard to accept: "I believe that Lord Mu has already seen the pearl that was stained by Ling's daughter, right?"
Inside and outside the words, there was no mention that Feng Yuheng had broken the bead off the hairpin and popped it out. He only said that it was defaced by his daughter. Mu's ability to tell lies with open eyes, Jiang sighed to himself. But no matter how bad it was, he could only admit it now. "Xiaoguan has already seen it." Mu Jiang continued to apologize in a low voice: "The girl's family had a dispute with her daughter. It was Xiaguan's failure to discipline her daughter well. It is all Xiaguan's fault."
"Of course it's your fault." Xuan Tianming interrupted, "Is it possible that your daughter is right and my wife is wrong?"
Mu Jiang trembled: "No! The princess is absolutely right! Not at all wrong."
"Yes." I love the East China Sea Pearl Hengheng very much."
Xuan Tianhua continued: "This king has been in this world for more than twenty years, and this is the first time I have seen pearls that look like that. It was when I was returning to Beijing from the Eastern Border, I passed by the East China Sea. Found in a thousand-year-old clam salvaged from the East China Sea. It is extremely beautiful and hard to find in the world. Even the palace has never seen such a beautiful pearl. So, Mr. Mu, please estimate its value!"
Before Mu Jiang could speak, Xuan Tianming spoke again: "Master Mu, you have to think clearly and ask you to estimate the value. This is already magnanimous in itself."
Mu Jiang nodded with difficulty, but Xuan Tianhua had already described the pearl like that. How should the value be calculated? He thought about it over and over, but he finally managed to say: "The pearl... is not considered damaged, right? It's just... stained with a little blood."
Bah!
Xuan Tianming threw the wine glass out of his hand without hesitation, smashing it into pieces directly at Mu Jiang's feet. For a moment, everyone in the hall focused their eyes here. Even the people who were originally chatting stopped talking and held their breaths, all speculating on Mu Jiang's fate.
I heard Xuan Tianming ask Na Mu Jiang: "Do you mean to let my wife continue to use the beads stained with your daughter's blood?"
The fourth prince Xuan Tianyi also said: "That's right! How shameless!"
Mu Jiang couldn't stand any longer and simply knelt on the ground, "Your Highnesses, please give me a warm word! As long as I can step down from my official position and expose this matter, I am willing to accept all compensation."
"Very good." Xuan Tianming nodded, "That's right! As long as you are willing to cooperate, things will be easy to talk about." Then he asked Brother Qi, come and make a price!"
Xuan Tianhua agreed, but was not in a hurry to make an offer. Instead, he asked Na Mu Jiang: "Why don't you, Lord Mu, report your family background first so that I can have an idea? It will save a lot. Can you pay?" Come on, if it’s too small, it won’t fit the bead.”
Everyone who heard this was trembling in their hearts. How about reporting family wealth? This is to take the blame for others!
The sweat on Mu Jiang's forehead fell to the ground, and his heart began to tremble. Pay back the bottom line? It’s true that he is reluctant to part with money, but can he repay the official’s wealth? Whose family doesn't have two accounts, one light and one dark? If he was asked to report this in front of so many people, it would be better to chop him to death with a knife.
He had a sullen face and knelt there for a long time without saying a word, but he was thinking in his heart, if he just reported the clear account honestly, would he anger these princes and really kill him on the spot? After all, you still have to live!
Seeing that Mu Jiang didn't speak, Xuan Tianhua was not polite at all. The other party didn't say it was okay, so he said - "It seems that Mr. Mu's memory is not very good. He can't even remember his own accounts clearly, so he might as well let him Let me help you do the math!" As he said that, Xuan Tianhua began to count each item one by one, from Mu Jiang's official annual income to how many fields, shops, and how much he owned in Luotian Mansion. Courtyards, no less than one, were all laid out.
Of course, Mu Jiang is not afraid of these alone. After all, which official has not designated fields and shops? This is normal. But what horrified him was that Xuan Tianhua was able to clearly explain all the land and house deeds held by the Mu family, including every one of them. Even he couldn't remember some of them clearly. This frightened Mu Jiang, and at the same time he understood that someone must have planted a hidden stake in Mu's mansion, and there were more than one.
However, what is more terrifying than these is what Xuan Tianhua said next - "It is reported that these are not the main source of money for the Mu family at all. Shutian Mansion is the last provincial capital in the southern boundary of Dashun, close to Lanzhou , the trade between many small countries in the desert and Dashun must first pass through Lanzhou, and then enter Luotian, and many merchants simply use Luotian Mansion as their main place for the circulation of goods. All merchants from the desert enter Dashun , Lanzhou is a checkpoint, and Luotian Prefecture is a major checkpoint. The taxes generated by these merchants and the silver coins that merchants need to pay when entering Luotian territory are reported to Dashun every day by Luotian Prefecture, but there is no way to verify them. You guys. If you say that only one businessman came this year, that would be one, but in fact, there may be one country coming. And if you said one country came, it is possible that ten countries came. There are a total of sixteen small countries deep in the desert. Mr. Mu, there is a concubine in your house who married into one of these countries. On the day of her marriage, the dowry procession stretched for ten miles, and its value was almost one-third of the financial resources of that small country. Similarly, the other party's betrothal gift was also This is an astonishing amount. Is this what I said wrong?"
Mu Jiang knelt on the ground and was speechless.
All the officials in the palace came to take a breath of air-conditioning. Officials from the south were fine. After all, they knew these things well. However, people from other places, including officials from Beijing, heard about it for the first time. , I couldn’t help but be shocked when I heard this. Everyone is also thinking about how rich Mu Jiang is in Luotian Mansion. The dowry for a concubine from a city ten miles away can equal one-third of the financial resources of a small country in the desert. What if this is a legitimate daughter? How much?
While people were amazed, they were even more concerned about how much money the Mu family would extort from those princes with such a wealthy family?
Xuan Tianhua's voice rose again: "Master Mu, I have said everything that needs to be said. I will not force anyone to do anything today. Please think carefully about the palace banquet for half a day, and go to Prince Chun's Mansion tomorrow to give me some advice. Let me explain it to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi also became happy, "Master Mu, I didn't expect that your Luo Tianfu is so rich. In this case, I won't be polite. Your daughter will be beaten. I have also considered the matter of the third young lady of the Feng family. Why don’t you just use the ten-mile red makeup you gave that concubine to marry to a small country in the desert as equivalent compensation! You also know that the Feng family is now in dire straits. The family doesn't have much money, and Miss Feng San is going to be married in the future. She doesn't expect the Feng family to prepare a large dowry, so she might as well prepare it for you. Do you want to use money to pay for these things? We are not picky about using real objects, but before those things are handed over to Miss Feng San, please ask Master Mu not to leave the capital." After saying that, he looked at the two imperial brothers beside him and said: "Look after Master Mu. Let’s leave the matter to the seventh and ninth brothers!”
When Mu Jiang heard that this was going to put him under house arrest in Beijing, he was so frightened that he quickly said: "This is absolutely impossible! Luotian Mansion is a major provincial government in the southern border. If the official fails to return, the backlog of official business will be Just..."
"This is not a problem." Xuan Tianming said, "I will send someone to take care of Luo Tian Mansion temporarily on your behalf. When you get out of trouble in the capital, I will send someone to **** you back. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, it was equivalent to silencing Mu Jiang. I don’t know when the matter here will be concluded. Besides, it will take two months to go south from the capital. In this case, the temporary supervisor will probably completely squeeze him out. , this is a big deal!
He was very determined and shook his head: "Absolutely not."
Xuan Tianming nodded unexpectedly, "Since Lord Mu doesn't agree, let's let this matter go."
"Huh?" Everyone was confused. Did the Ninth Prince compromise so quickly? This is not his style!
This is certainly not Xuan Tianming's style. His style is - "Then we will report it to the official. You will accuse Princess Jian of poaching the flesh from your daughter's palm. We will accuse you of embezzling money from the court's taxes. The amount is It's huge, it should be enough for a beheading, right?" As he said this, he looked at the first-grade clan order in the Zongren Mansion, "Master Xu, is it enough for a beheading?"
The sect leader ordered that person to be from Xuan Tianming's side. When he heard his question, he quickly stood up and answered: "Absolutely enough."
So Xuan Tianming nodded, "Let's do it!"
Mu Jiang was confused and shouted: "No, no, no! We can't do this! Wait a minute!" He looked at Xuan Tianming again, with anger in his eyes, but more of despair. In the end, Compromise, "That's all, I'll accept the compensation I mentioned earlier!"
"That's right!" Xuan Tianming said, "If you don't hand over the money, you have to pay for it with your life. Master Mu is really confused about this account."
"Then next..." Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi was still unfinished, "Let me talk about my other two claims in addition to dowry compensation."
