Chapter 31: Ku Yin was robbed
Just at this moment, a messy footsteps came from outside Xizheng Hall, and then Xu Changqing's heart-wrenching shout, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness! My uncle Xu Changqing, I have something urgent to do, please see Your Highness!"
This unstoppable shout completely interrupted the atmosphere carefully arranged by Li Chen in Xizheng Hall.
Liu Sichun seemed to have received a general amnesty, and ran away like a rabbit, hiding far away. She bowed to Li Chen and said hurriedly: "The young lady will leave first."
After saying that, Liu Sichun opened the door of Xizheng Hall. Xu Changqing rolled in and crawled in. Liu Sichun glanced at Xu Changqing, who was panicked and ran away.
If you don’t run away, chastity will be left here.
Liu Sichun escaped from death, but Li Chen set up a gun to light the fire. The duck that was about to be cooked actually flew away.
He stared at Xu Changqing with great discomfort, suppressed his anger, and said gritting his teeth: "If you don't say that you are so ugly today, I will take your head off as a chamber pot!"
Xu Changqing said in panic: "Your Highness, something really happened. The cash bank confiscated by the Chen and Hu families was robbed of four million taels!"
This sentence is not long, but the content is like a bolt from the blue.
Li Chen widened his eyes and was furious. He stared at Xu Changqing very angry and said coldly: "Under the emperor's feet, it takes half a day to move the four million taels of cash silver. Tell me that so much cash silver has been stolen!?"
Xu Changqing's face was pale, and he felt that the power of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was like a storm, pressing on him one after another, and even the air around him seemed to be solidified, which made him almost breathless.
With all the courage, Xu Changqing said: "The cash bank of the two Hu and Chen families is not in the capital, but is stored in the money house they opened in Tongxian County. I was ordered to seize all the assets of the two banks, count the treasury silver of the two banks in Tongxian County, and then make the bill first and then seal it up and transport it to the national treasury."
"Because I have other assets that need to be counted and seized, I stayed in Tongxian County and asked the Tongxian County Magistrate to send the yamen runners to the capital. According to the rules, after leaving Tongxian County, officials from the Ministry of Revenue will immediately lead officers and soldiers to take over the cash bank. However, this batch of cash bank had just left Tongxian County and was directly robbed by a group of people before they reached the boundary of the capital. None of the yamen runners were spared from being killed. After I learned the news, I rushed to the scene, and all the money had disappeared."
"I am panicked and dare not hide anything. I immediately come to apologize to the prince and ask the prince to die!"
Xu Changqing said, lying on the ground crying and bowing to the end.
Li Chen was furious, but his mind was still calm. He said coldly: "What's the use of killing you now? If you die, can you come back for the four million taels of silver? Does anyone know the route of the escort??"
"In addition to ministers, the county magistrate of Tongxian also knows it." Xu Changqing hurriedly replied.
"Where are others!?" Li Chen asked gritted his teeth.
Xu Changqing felt the murderous aura that was almost surging from Li Chen's words. He trembled all over and said, "Kneel outside the Eastern Palace."
"Let him get in for me!"
Li Chen shouted angrily, and immediately, outside the East Palace, a fat middle-aged man wearing a county magistrate's uniform, with a disheveled hair and a look of panic, rolling and crawling over.
He bowed and hurried outside Xizheng Hall. When he saw Li Chen wearing the red dragon prince's uniform, he didn't dare to look at it anymore. He knelt on the ground with a thud, and his forehead hit the floor tiles firmly, making a dull collision sound.
"I am the queen of Tongxian County Magistrate Xu Jiuan, I will pay homage to the Crown Prince."
Li Chen took a big step to Xu Jiuan, raised his leg and kicked Xu Jiuan on the shoulder.
