So, the third prince took away the box of silver bills himself. He was afraid that others would take them away. If the treacherous Chen Xiao would do anything and take out all the silver bills, there would be no evidence.

As for Chen Xiao, he was taken away by the people from Dali Temple. The scene was seen by the people from the Imperial College and they all wondered what happened to their priest priest? He was actually taken away by Dali Temple? Did he make a mistake?

Some people are also gloating and are jealous of Chen Xiao as a fourth-rank official at a young age. At this moment, I am naturally very happy to see Chen Xiao fall.

Chen Xiao was very good at acting in the whole process. For the sake of the third prince, he insisted that Chen Xiao was guilty. Chen Xiao was very worried and scared throughout the whole process.

This really made the third prince feel that Chen Xiao was done this time, which was a foregone conclusion.

So, that night, Chen Xiao spent the night in the prison of Dali Temple.

He didn't care. He just wanted to spend one night. Thinking about a box of paper and a little silver notes, he cheated the third prince. He was still very happy.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao showed a smug smile on his face.

This night, everyone is looking forward to the next day.

So, the next day, amid the expectations of the third prince and Chen Xiao, it arrived.

Early in the morning, in the palace and in the main hall.

All the officials had already received the news, and the emperor also vaguely knew something, with no expression on his face.

The first thing that happened in the morning court was that the third prince took the list and said to the emperor: "Father, my son is in trouble!"

The emperor sighed in his heart, thinking to himself, Chen Xiao, why are you confused this time?

So he said: "What's the matter!"

The third prince couldn't wait to say: "Father, Chen Xiao agreed yesterday and was willing to pay 400,000 taels of silver to compensate for his mistakes. Also, donate 100,000 taels of silver himself, totaling 500,000 taels of silver.

But he didn't have so much money at all, so he used illegal means to receive bribes and obtained 500,000 taels, and promised to bring someone else's son to the Imperial College for such an amount and such behavior, and he deserves to die!"

The emperor looked ugly: "Are you sure about this?"

"It's true, Father, these are all seen by my sons with their own eyes, and there is no false statement." said the third prince.

The emperor said: "What is the evidence?"

"Go back to my father, I found out about this yesterday and immediately asked the Dali Temple Minister to take people there. A box of silver notes was found at the scene, with an amount of 500,000 taels! The person was taken away by the Dali Temple Minister. The box of silver notes, and the son was worried that someone would be slaughtered, so he took them away for custody himself!"

The emperor looked at the Dali Temple Minister: "What the third prince said is true?"

The Dali Temple Minister left the list: "Return to Your Majesty, indeed, Chen Xiao was extremely panicked at that time. Moreover, the box of silver was indeed in the house of Chen Xiao, the Imperial College. After investigation, many students saw that a wealthy businessman took his son and box to meet Chen Xiao."

The Minister of Works said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the evidence is conclusive!"

"Yes, Chen Xiao is too brave and actually accepted a bribe of 500,000 taels of silver."

"It's not just bold, it's just too much!"

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Tell me that Chen Xiao comes up, I want to find out!"

The Dali Temple Minister turned around and said, "Take Chen Xiao!"

Soon, Chen Xiao walked up, followed by two officers and soldiers.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Xiao was very calm.

The emperor was a little worried. To be honest, he didn't expect Chen Xiao to accept bribes.

But at this moment, looking at Chen Xiao, I felt that Chen Xiao was so fearless, as if... I was not worried at all?

"Chen Xiao, they said you accepted bribes and the evidence was conclusive. What do you have to say?" the emperor asked.

Chen Xiao pretended to be confused: "The evidence is conclusive? May I ask, where is the evidence?"

The third prince sneered: "Come here, get the box!"

So someone took a box up and opened it. At first glance, it was indeed a silver note.

"Chen Xiao, how do you explain this box of silver bills?" said the third prince.

Chen Xiao said: "The bill is mine!"

"How could you have so many silver notes?" the third prince scolded.

Chen Xiao said: "I am doing business, what's strange about having silver notes?"

"This is a total of 500,000 taels. How much do you do business?" said the third prince.

Chen Xiao disdained: "You said 500,000, which means 500,000? I insisted that only 100,000 taels."

"It's all nonsense, it's clearly 500,000 taels of silver bills," said the third prince.

Chen Xiao curled his lips: "What? Have you counted it?"

"I will count it, only 500,000 taels. Don't even think about quibbling. If you don't believe it, I will open it for you to count immediately." said the third prince.

The third prince jumped into Chen Xiaoshe's language trap with impulse.

So Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "No need to count, no need to count."

The third prince sneered: "Hmph, how about it? There is no way to argue about this 500,000 taels of silver, right?"

In fact, he had never opened the banknotes at all, because he was sure that it was only 500,000 taels. Now, in order to make Chen Xiao bear a large amount of corruption, he emphasized that it was only 500,000 taels.

So Chen Xiao nodded: "I won't argue... Then what, Your Majesty, I explain that the money is indeed mine. It was my friend who helped me get it from the Imperial College. I plan to use it for disaster relief."

"It's all nonsense, it's clearly because someone else bribed you. You can help his son get it to the Imperial College," said the prince.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Your Highness is talking about the middle-aged and young man who came to the Imperial College yesterday? Then you misunderstood!

That middle-aged man was actually the one who helped me manage the restaurant, and that young man was just a shopkeeper."

The third prince sneered: "You still want to argue? My people clearly heard that the middle-aged man said he would give the young man a chance. In the end, the middle-aged man gave you this box of silver notes, and you agreed and asked that the young man go to you."

"Yes, he wanted that guy to work in my restaurant. As he said, he gave me the turnover of the restaurant. At the same time, I promised that young man to work in my restaurant.

What did you say to the third prince? The rich man bribed me and asked his son to come to the Imperial College for the Imperial College? It's different, right?" Chen Xiao spoke calmly.

At the same time, he continued: "And, ask all the civil and military officials of the court, which rich man would bribe 500,000 taels in order to get his son to come to the Imperial College? Do you think it is 500,000 taels?"

Many officials suddenly came to their senses, yes, bribing 500,000 taels to the Imperial College? This is unrealistic!

The third prince turned dark and said, "Why do you say that the middle-aged rich man is the person in charge of your restaurant?"

Chen Xiao said: "Your Majesty, you can go to my restaurant immediately and bring the person in charge and the young man he wanted to work in the restaurant yesterday. You can find out once you check it!"

The emperor realized that the problem was not simple, so he immediately asked the commander of the Imperial Guard to go.

After a while, wearing silk-skinned tiger teeth, he brought the young man yesterday to the hall.

At the same time, there are several students and officials from the Imperial College.

When they arrived at the hall, the emperor first asked the students and officials of the Imperial College: "Yesterday, I went to the Imperial College to meet Chen Xiao, were these two people?"

When the students and officials of the Imperial College were looking at Huya and the young people, they all nodded.

At the same time, the commander of the Imperial Guard said: "Your Majesty, after verified, this person is the person in charge of Chen Xiao's branch restaurant, and this young man, who is neither father nor son, and he has just arrived at the restaurant to work today."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Chen Xiao didn't lie...

Chen Xiao spread his hands: "So, everyone, my fellow servants, give me my money and recommend a young man to my restaurant. It's not considered taking bribes, right? You wrongly accused me!"

The Minister of Justice smiled: "The money is yours, so it is naturally not considered a bribe..."
