Chapter 54: The Ancestor Who Defrauded People
Li Yu said that he wanted to call the governor of Liyang City to come over. He wanted to thoroughly investigate the hidden dragon robe and jade seal in the Sifu and restore the innocence of Si Guangda. On the surface, it seemed that Li Yu was helping.
Si Guangda, but everyone in the mainland knows that if the governor is called over, many things will be beyond his control.
There is another reason, that is, if more people know about this matter, who will say that someone framed the government? Think about it, discovering this thing in such an important place as the ancestral hall, from the general association point of view, this is treason.
The prelude or there are signs of that.
If Emperor Li Zhi knew about this matter, he would be beheaded at least, or it would be a crime that would implicate the nine clans. Even if he knew that Si Guangda was framed, this matter is too sensitive, and usually he would rather spend hundreds of thousands of taels.
Yinzi can calm things down and try to make this matter as minor as possible. Of course, when Li Yu and the third prince came to search the house today, Si Guangda didn't know that this was a conspiracy prepared by Li Yu in advance.
"Your Highness, we have something to discuss!" Si Guangda comforted Li Yu and asked a few of his subordinates to start dismissing everyone. After all, the less we know about this matter, the better.
"There is nothing to discuss. We have burned down the appearance of Dr. Si, and we should accept the summons and punishment from the Liyang Prefecture. If it is no longer possible, we can ask the Dali Temple, or the Prime Minister, the Taiwei, etc. to come to the three halls for a joint trial."
When Li Yu said this, Si Guangda smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Your Highness, you are joking, I don't dare."
From old man to old slave, it can be seen that Si Guangda is really a little scared.
"What's so daring? You weren't like this at the beginning. With all your energy and courage, didn't you clamor to go to court? Erhan, put all your things away. We'll follow you together later.
It’s good to have a witness in the court, and don’t just make false accusations against good people. I’ll just rely on you and go to the court to make it clear.”
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"You and I are both smart people, so we don't have to worry about it anymore. This old slave is a bit worse in chess, but it is not unfair to lose to His Highness. Okay, Your Highness, tell me how much money I need to donate from this old slave."
Ten thousand or twenty thousand, you tell me the number, and I will give it all to you!"
"Mr. Si, you are mistaken at this moment. My Highness has no intention of forcing you to give me money. Now you are saying that as a royal heir, I do not dare to take responsibility for the crime of rebellion."
Li Yu's meaning was obvious, that he was dissatisfied with the lack of money, but to do so surprised the third prince. He did not expect that this thing would be found in the palace today. No matter who was involved, it would be a serious crime of beheading.
Now, as Li Yu said, it is no longer just a donation of money.
Li Yu is not stupid. He knows that even if this thing breaks out, it is just a farce. As long as he achieves his goal, it doesn't matter whether he rebels or not. Even if this guy rebels, it has nothing to do with him.
.
Thinking of this, I still come back to money.
"The amount of silver donated was determined by my father. As for the amount, I don't have a specific amount, but it seems that the third brother will have to pay one million silver by tomorrow. If we go to collect it overnight, even if all households want to
Mr. Si is so generous, even if you receive it tomorrow, you may not be able to receive it all!"
Good guy, one million taels, you really dare to speak out. With such money, you think our company is the one who makes the money!
Although Si Guangda thought so, he didn't dare to say it. He was already eighty years old. Even if his body was strong, he could still enjoy a few days of happiness. For the sake of future generations, forget it.
Let's just consider spending money to avoid disaster.
"Your Highness, I also know that the Great Shen Dynasty is in danger now. The war in the front is tight, the defense treasury is empty at the rear, and coupled with internal and external troubles, it is really like being in a precarious situation, and there is a danger of collapse at any time. Therefore, I am willing to do little.
He used his strength to donate his family's resources. A few days ago, in order to ease the situation, the old slave sold a few pieces of land. Why don't you give it to your highness so that you can take care of the soldiers guarding the border?"
"That's good. Mr. Si understands my father's difficulties and supports the third brother's donation. It's not that I, Li Yu, deliberately make things difficult for you. It's just that I have been tied to you for too long and delayed a lot of things.
Now if you ask me to collect them one by one, it will definitely not be completed, you see..."
Seeing that the time had come, Li Yu shamelessly said what he wanted, that is, he would take back all the donated silver from Si Guangda today.
"Your Highness, let's do this. The amount of the donated silver collected by the third prince is very clear. There is no need to talk about it. I will sacrifice this time. Si Liu, you go to the accounting office and get the 800,000 taels of mist."
The banknote from the village can be considered as a solution to His Highness’ urgent need. We can wait until tomorrow to discuss anything else.”
Si Liu, who had just woken up after being beaten, had a look of embarrassment on his face. Quite simply, he felt that his master had been tricked too much this time. There was a look of resentment on his face and he hummed: "Master, this
…”
"What is this, go quickly!"
Not daring to be negligent, Si Liuyi turned around and limped to get the banknote.
"In this case, I, Li Yu, will not be hypocritical. I will definitely report this donation of silver to my father. I will give Mr. Si a great reward for his concern for the country and the people. Our Dashen Dynasty must never owe a good person.
Let the cunning ones get an advantage."
Speaking of this, Li Yu talked about the facade: "Mr. Si, you see there was a misunderstanding today. I will give your facade to... Otherwise, I will find someone to repair it for you. All the necessary fees will be paid."
I……."
"Your Highness does not need to worry about this matter. This is all what this old slave brought upon himself. There are people in my house who are good at carpentry repairs, and there are materials in the backyard. Your Highness, it is best to leave this matter alone."
While talking, Si Liu had already brought the banknote. As a result, Li Yu handed the banknote to Xiaodan and asked him to verify the authenticity. On the other hand, he urged the third prince: "Third brother, this is Mr. Si Guangda."
For the donated money, please quickly write a receipt as proof of the donation. This is related to the development of your next donation. This is something that Dr. Guanglu’s office has made during this donation.
To set an example, we should publicize it well."
Si Guangda's expression on the side was extremely ugly. Faced with Li Yu's blackmail, he could only forcefully put on a smile. Although he was smiling, he looked uglier than crying.
"Young Master, then this..." Liu Gui pointed to the emperor's dragon robe under the Buddha statue in the ancestral hall, as well as the jade seal and other items.
"My lord is only concerned about the country and the people. How can there be such disobedient behavior? These things are all tricks used by some villains to trick the lord. Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway. Let's stop what happened today."
Leave it to Mr. Si to handle it by himself. If anyone lets me hear any rumors about this matter after leaving the Si Mansion, you guys will kill them without mercy!"
After Liu Gu and others heard this, they all looked frightened: "Young Master, I know this. When you go out from here, just pretend that nothing happened. Please rest assured, Young Master, and please rest assured, Mr. Si." ."
Li Yu achieved his goal and did not want to stay for a long time. He stepped forward directly, regardless of exceeding the rules, and directly clasped his fists and saluted Na Si Guang: "Then I won't disturb you today. Although this is a bit abrupt, as an insider, Your Highness can also I don’t want to say more, but whenever there is a plot that involves the interests of Li Yu’s relatives, even if it means killing, Li Yu will not hesitate. Also, let me tell Mr. Si that you are really wrong this time. Enjoy your life as a doctor. , don’t get involved in unnecessary disputes between scholars, otherwise the result will be the same whether you win or not. I won’t say anything else below, I believe Mr. Si, who has been in office for a long time, is wiser than me, Li Yu.”
After saying this, Li Yuli ignored Si Guangda, who was in a complicated mood, and walked away directly.
Si Guangda, who was still deep in thought and had not thought about it, was suddenly awakened by the sound of the door breaking. He quickly followed his men and ran to the door. What he saw was Qi Ling who had been beaten by someone unknown. The door fell apart, leaving only a pile of scrap wood.
What happened today was not an ordinary humiliation. Si Guangda never expected that he would suffer such a big fall. Although Li Yu framed him openly, it made him full of anger. How could he do it? Unable to speak out, he smashed the cup of tea that the servant just handed him, including the water and the cup. This time, he had a deeper understanding of the prince Li Yu.
"How did this door become so broken?" Si Guangda said, looking at the messy scene in front of him.
"Sir, this is what the Crown Prince was like after he punched it!"
"What?" Behind the surprised mood, Si Guangda began to feel waves of fear, and he began to care about what Li Yu said before going out not to let himself participate in the power struggle.
"What kind of force value is this?" Si Guangda was not simple and asked the leader of the nursing home next to him.
The man's fear became more obvious: "Master, judging from the extent of damage, it is at least the level of Grandmaster or above. If His Highness is offended today, I am afraid that there will be no survivors in the entire Si Mansion tomorrow. I will wait in his hands. It's easy to crush an ant to death. I have also observed that the people under His Highness, especially the boy who takes the lead, are holding the Longquan Sword, a martial arts sacred weapon that has not been seen in the world for many years..."
While the entire Si Mansion was still immersed in dullness, loneliness, fear and uneasiness, Li Yu and the third prince Li Jimin had already traveled a long way in a carriage. The third prince in the car was still a little uneasy and asked: "Fourth brother, we Is there something wrong with doing this?”
"No, there's something wrong. Haven't you seen that Si Guangda has colluded with others a long time ago to deal with you together? He is the leader. If we don't deal with him, who will we deal with?"
"But fourth brother, we have to find out who is involved. Wouldn't we be more powerful against Si Guangda in that way?"
"Oh, my third brother, if you find out who it is, the day lily will be cold, and you won't be the one to be punished? My father is pressing hard, but they won't pay a penny, and the most important thing is that the general The prince has ministers to assist him in everything he does, but didn’t you realize that your duties this time were obviously a trap?”
Hearing Li Yu's words, the third prince immediately had an epiphany. But after the epiphany, he was obviously shocked. These words clearly not only told the truth of the matter, but also revealed that his father was involved. It was an obvious intention.
Something pointed out.
"Fourth brother, please don't talk nonsense, you must know that this is..."
"Is it the crime of deceiving the emperor? Third brother, I, Li Yu, really treat you as a brother, and nothing else. During the decades of my stupidity, only you and my aunt have come to take care of me, and you are the only one who has treated me like a brother.
This is true care. This kind of emotion is not mixed with any utilitarian things and is the most sincere. I, Li Yu, am grateful."
"Fourth brother..."
"Perhaps what I did today, you must think that I tricked Si Guangda, but you don't know that the real ancestor who tricked people is my father. I am not afraid of the crime of deceiving the emperor. I will tell you clearly that this time this situation is not the same.
It should have been set up by him. Overtly and covertly, he used donating money as a gimmick to let the various forces below fight openly and secretly. Then he could reap the benefits and bring many hidden forces to the surface. The third brother was arrested this time.
