Mu Jiang knew that he could not escape this level. When he saw the Imperial Guard bringing the bloody bead here, he was mentally prepared to be asked by the Seventh Prince to settle the score. But he never expected that the Seventh Prince would not come sooner or later, but he squeezed in when the Fourth Prince attacked. What are you doing? Is the prince fighting in a group? Can you deal with this combat power?

Mu Jiang knew very well that this situation was defined as "coping" rather than "coping". A joke, looking at the whole world, who has a lie to deal with the prince? Which of these princes is not overbearing and going to the sky? He was cheated by that damn girl today. He thought to himself that after he went back, he would lock the girl in the yard and never let it go again.

"Seventh Prince." Mu Jiang bowed again, and his forehead gradually [     www.biqugew.me]. This prince with the most fairy spirit in Dashun is an existence that no one dares to ignore. If anyone really thinks that the temperament of the seventh prince is unified with his appearance, it would be a big mistake. In fact, if this prince offended him fiercely, his explosive power would be even more than that of the ninth prince.

"Master Mu." Xuan Tianhua had already sat down on the other end of Xuan Tianming. With his hand lifted his robe, every move was so natural and as vast as an immortal. But what he said made people so unacceptable: "I believe that Lord Mu has seen that pearl that has been defiled by the daughter of a thousand gold?"

In the words, he did not mention that the bead was originally broken off the hairpin by Feng Yuheng and then popped it out, only saying that it was defiled by his daughter. Mu Jiang sighed that he was not as good as he was to speak lies with his eyes open. But so what if he was worse than it was, he could only admit it now. "The official has seen it." Mu Jiang continued to apologize in a low voice: "The girl's family had a dispute with her son, but it was because the official did not discipline her daughter well, and it was the official's fault."

"Of course it's your fault." Xuan Tianming interrupted, "Can your daughter be right? Is it because my wife is wrong?"

Mu Jiang shivered: "No! The princess is absolutely right! It's not wrong at all."

"Yeah." Xuan Tianming nodded, "It would be better if you think so. This matter is too much to talk about." Then he asked Xuan Tianhua again: "Hengheng, the East China Sea pearl that Brother Qi found, liked it very much."

Xuan Tianhua said along the way: "This is the first time I have seen such a pearl that has been in the world for more than 20 years. It was discovered in a thousand-year-old clam that I salvaged from the East China Sea when I returned to Beijing from the East China Sea. It is beautiful and hard to find in the world. Even in the palace, I have never seen such a beautiful pearl. So, Lord Mu, you can estimate its value!"

Before Mu Jiang could speak, Xuan Tianming said again: "Mr. Mu, if you want to think clearly and let you estimate the value, this is already magnanimous."

Mu Jiang nodded with difficulty, but the pearl had been described as that by Xuan Tianhua. How should this value be calculated? After thinking about it, he said, "Pearl... is not considered damaged, right? It's just a bit of blood."

Bang!

Xuan Tianming threw out his wine glass without hesitation, and fell directly at Mu Jiang's feet. For a moment, everyone in the hall focused on this side, and even the people who were originally talking stopped talking, held their breath and were all guessing Mu Jiang's fate.

I heard Xuan Tianming ask Mu Jiang: "What do you mean is that the beads stained with your daughter's blood, and let my wife continue to use them?"

The fourth prince Xuan Tianyi also said, "That's it! It's so shameless!"

Mu Jiang couldn't stand any longer, so he simply knelt on the ground, "Please give me some good words! As long as you can put down your official position and expose this matter, the official is willing to accept all compensation."

"Very good." Xuan Tianming nodded, "That's right! As long as you are willing to cooperate, things will be easier to say." Then he asked Xiang Xuan Tianhua again: "Brother Seven knows the value of the pearl the most, so let Brother Seven pay a price!"

Xuan Tianhua agreed, but was not in a hurry to offer a offer, but asked Mu Jiang: "It's better to report your family's income first so that I can have a problem in my mind. It will save you too much. If you can't afford it, you will have less, and you can't fit this bead."

Everyone who heard this was trembling in his heart, saying that he would repay his family’s fortune? This is to kill others!

The sweat on Mu Jiang's forehead fell to the ground, and his heart trembled. Report the money? He was so reluctant to give up money, but can the official's family report? Who doesn't have two accounts at home, one is light and one is dark? If he reports it in front of so many people, it would be better to kill him with one knife.

He knelt in the same place for a long time without saying a word, but was thinking in his heart that if he only reported the accounts honestly, would he anger these princes and really cut him off on the spot? After all, he still had to live!

Seeing that Mu Jiang didn't say anything, Xuan Tianhua was not polite at all. It was okay if the other party didn't say anything. He said-"It seems that Lord Mu doesn't have a good memory and can't even remember his own accounts. So let me come to calculate it for you!" As he said that, Xuan Tianhua began to count it in detail, from Mu Jiang's official annual income to how many fields, shops, courtyards, and many other courtyards he had in Luotian Mansion.

Of course, Mu Jiang is not afraid of this alone. After all, it is normal for any official to order a field shop. But what scares him is that Xuan Tianhua can tell all the land deeds of the houses held by the Mu family clearly, and there are still some of them that he can't even remember. This shocked Mu Jiang, and at the same time he also understood that it must be that someone had installed a secret stake in Mu's mansion, and there were more than one.

However, what is more terrifying than these is Xuan Tianhua's next words - "It is reported that these are not the main source of money for the Mu family at all. Shutianfu is the last provincial capital in the southern border of Dashun, close to Lanzhou. The transactions between many small countries in the desert and Dashun must first pass through Lanzhou, and then enter Luotian. Many merchants even deprived Luotianfu as their main place for goods to be circulated. All merchants in the desert enter Dashun, Lanzhou is a checkpoint, and Luotianfu is a big checkpoint. The taxes generated by these merchants and the merchants entering Luotian need to pay

The silver that Luo Tianfu reported to Dashun every day, but there was no way to understand the information. You said that there was only one merchant this year, that was one, but in fact it was possible that one country could come. And you said that one country could come to ten countries. There were sixteen small countries in the depths of the desert. Lord Mu, there was a concubine in your mansion who married one of them. On the day of marriage, the dowry team was paved with ten miles, and its value was almost one-third of the financial resources of the small country. Similarly, the other party's betrothal gift was also a striking amount. Are you wrong about these?"

Mu Jiang knelt on the ground with one head and could no longer speak.

The officials in the hall all took a breath of air conditioning. The officials from the south were fine. After all, they knew all these things well, but this was the first time people from other lands, including officials in the capital, were shocked. They also thought in their minds how rich Mu Jiang from Luotian Mansion was? The dowry of a concubine's ten miles away can be as high as one-third of the financial resources of a small country in the desert. What if this was a legitimate daughter? How much would it take?

In addition to being amazed, people also cared about how much money would the Mu family, which had such a family background, be extorted by those princes?

Xuan Tianhua's voice rose again: "Mr. Mu, I have already said everything I should say. I am not forced to do this today. You should consider this palace banquet carefully for half a day. Go to Prince Chun's mansion tomorrow to give me an explanation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi also became happy, "Mr. Mu, I didn't expect that your Luo Tian Mansion would be so rich. Since that's the case, I'm not polite. I'll consider it. You might as well use the Ten Miles of Hongzhuang you sent the concubine's daughter to a small desert country to make equivalent compensation! You also know that the Feng family is now in a downturn and there is no money at home. Miss Feng San is in the boudoir and will marry in the future. She can't count on how much dowry the Feng family can provide, so you can just prepare it. You don't know whether you use silver to pay for these things or physical goods, but we are not picky about this, but before those things are handed over to Miss Feng San, please don't leave Beijing." As he said that, he looked at the two emperor brothers beside him and said, "Please leave it to the Seventh and Ninth brothers!"

When Mu Jiang heard that he was going to put him under house arrest in Beijing, he was so scared that he quickly said, "This is absolutely not possible! Luo Tianfu is a major provincial government in the southern border. If the subordinates do not return for a long time, the backlog of business can be paid..."

"This is not a problem." Xuan Tianming said, "I will send someone else to take care of Luotian Mansion on your behalf. When will you get the matter in the capital be settled, and then someone will escort you back."

As soon as this said, it would be equivalent to silencing Mu Jiang. I don’t know when the matter here will be settled. Besides, it will take two months to go south from the capital. In this way, the person who is temporarily in charge will probably squeeze him down completely. This is a big deal!

He was very determined and shook his head and said, "Absolutely not."

Xuan Tianming nodded unexpectedly, "Since Lord Mu disagrees, then let's do this."

"Huh?" Everyone was confused. The Ninth Prince compromised so quickly? This is not his style!

Of course this is not Xuan Tianming's style. His style is - "Then let's report to the official, you will report to Princess Ji'an to dig out the flesh in the palm of your daughter. We will sue you for taking taxes and silver from the court, which is huge, and it should be enough to be sentenced to death, right?" He said as he looked at the first-class sect order of the sect mansion, "Mr. Xu, is it enough to be sentenced to death?"

The sect's person who ordered the real one was from Xuan Tianming. When he heard his question, he quickly stood up and replied: "It's definitely enough."

So Xuan Tianming nodded, "Then do it like this!"

Mu Jiang was confused and shouted: "No, no, no! You can't do this! Wait a moment!" He looked at Xuan Tianming again, with anger in his eyes, but more despair. In the end, he still compromised, "Forget it, the compensation I mentioned before, the official... admits!"

"That's right!" Xuan Tianming spoke, "If you don't pay money, you have to trade your life. Lord Mu's account is really confused."
