Chapter 234 Thank You

The emperor affirmed that the current situation must have been caused by Chen Xiao.

Although he couldn't figure out which link was wrong, he was sure that Chen Xiao did nothing and the third prince was cheated!

But he just knows, so what can he do? There is no evidence?

He dealt with this matter several times, and the problem lies in the beginning when the third prince insisted that Chen Xiao had embezzled the box that was 500,000 taels of silver.

Now, isn’t Chen Xiao embezzling, and the banknotes are gone?

During this period, your third prince was keeping it. If you don’t look for you, who will you look for?

The emperor had actually guessed something in his mind, that is, the third prince did not open the box and looked at the silver notes inside, but was just cheated by the silver notes outside.

Because he confirmed that Chen Xiao had accepted bribes at the beginning, so he liked the box of silver more than anyone else was 500,000 taels.

So, from the beginning, he emphasized and affirmed countless times that the box was half a million taels of silver notes.

But now, Chen Xiao did not accept bribes, so he remembered that he had never looked at the silver carefully.

This is Chen Xiao who used his initial psychology to achieve the excellent results now.

The emperor figured it out, and the third prince himself naturally figured it out too.

But, what can he say?

He said that at the beginning, in order to confirm Chen Xiao's crime, he did not seek truth from facts?

Even if that is the case, who believes it? What about the evidence?

"Third Prince, what else do you have to say?" Chen Xiao asked the third prince.

The third prince had a bitter face and had nothing to say.

Chen Xiao said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please make the decision on this matter!"

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "The silver note is a problem that arises at the hands of the third prince. Naturally, it will be solved by the third prince.

Third brother, it is your responsibility whether you took the banknote or was transferred to your hands. You can find a way to make up Chen Xiao’s 500,000 taels of silver.”

There is another saying, he wanted to say: Even if you were cheated by Chen Xiao, you can only endure it.

But after thinking about it, forget it, stop saying this.

The third prince lowered his head speechlessly and said, "It's... the son minister... I understand..."

Five hundred thousand taels of silver notes, he wants to die now!

I even want to swallow Chen Xiao alive...

Although the ministers also felt something was wrong, no one came forward to intervene in this matter.

Everyone was just watching the fun, and they were not sure about the truth!

The emperor also felt that he was too immense today, so he quickly stood up: "Retreat the court!"

So, leave!

The third prince glanced at Chen Xiao and said, "You cheated me... there were no 500,000 taels of silver notes in that box!"

Chen Xiao said: "What do you mean, my man, give me a thousand taels of silver notes, and there are all papers for swearing people?"

The third prince was speechless. Seeing Chen Xiao’s serious look, he thought to himself, is it... Chen Xiao serious? Is it someone who tampered with the silver bill in his hand?

So he made up his mind to check it out.

But at this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly smiled at the third prince and said, "Thank you...hehe..."

After saying that, Chen Xiao smiled and left the hall, leaving the third prince confused and thought to himself: "What does it mean?"

At this moment, the ministers all looked at the third prince with pitiful eyes.

At first they were not sure, but the moment Chen Xiao said thank you to the third prince, they were sure that this time, it was Chen Xiao who cheated the prince.

The third prince also woke up, his face changed, and he said angrily:

"Damn Chen Xiao, it's you... You're really acting to lie to me at the last moment..."

Thinking about Chen Xiao's serious argument the moment before, he was so angry that the third prince almost suspected that the silver bill was really a problem in his hands.

"I won't let you go, I won't let you go!" The third prince yelled a little out of his composure.

The ministers all left in embarrassment.

After walking away, people started to talk.

The third prince couldn't figure it out, so he turned around in anger and went to the Yu Study Room.

When he saw the emperor, he knelt down directly: "Father, my son minister was deceived by Chen Xiao, he was simply..."

"shut up!"

The emperor scolded!

The third prince's face changed and he did not dare to speak.

The emperor put down the memorial, glanced at the third prince with some anger, and said, "Do you think I don't know? Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"

"Father, I..." The third prince opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

The emperor snorted and said, "At the beginning, Lao Qi was cheated, and then Lao Wu was cheated. Now, you were cheated again. It was all one person who cheated you. Tell me, are you too stupid or Chen Xiao too smart?"

"This...Father, Chen Xiao is so treacherous. He...ah..." The third prince's face turned red.

The emperor took a deep breath: "You said he cheated you, but what can you do? Everything comes from your mouth. Chen Xiao's whole process is just proving himself. You still want to erase what you say? Is it possible?"

"Then...father, what should I do?" said the third prince.

"Hmph, you shouldn't have been absolutely necessary. You shouldn't have attributed the fact that the Ministry of Revenue could not afford the money for the time being that day to Chen Xiao. If you don't talk about this, there wouldn't be so many things."

Speaking of this, the emperor sighed: "As for now, you think you are unlucky, find a way to make up for the 500,000 taels of silver notes!"

"But, my son's son can't have 500,000 taels of silver bills... Father, can I still turn the tables on this matter?" asked the third prince weakly.

The emperor said: "Not only is it impossible to turn the tables, but if you continue, you may be even worse. Give up early and don't get yourself too deep!"

The third prince almost cried: "But my father, that's a full...500,000 taels of silver. My son donated 100,000 taels this time and he was already bleeding..."

"You caused the matter yourself, and you should bear the consequences yourself. Too much is boring!" The emperor looked cold.

The third prince had nothing to say and could only bow and leave.

The moment I walked out of the imperial study room, I couldn't help but cry...

But at this time, the Seventh Prince looked at the distance.

Then he came over and said, "Brother Three, I heard that you were cheated by Chen Xiao for 500,000 taels? I understand you. I was cheated by him before. This time, I have to donate 100,000 taels, and my mother also has to donate 30,000 taels..."

He originally wanted to express their situation.

As a result, the third prince was furious: "Get out..."

The seventh prince said speechlessly, "Are you scolded by your father? It doesn't matter. The fifth brother and I have been scolded. Don't take it to your heart, everyone is almost the same..."

The third prince only felt that his wound was poked by the seventh son with his fingers, and he roared angrily: "Get out of here..."

The seventh prince was so scared that he ran away quickly. He ran not far away and turned around: "The third prince, you don't have enough money, you can borrow it, but don't ask me to borrow it, I'm also looking for someone to borrow..."
Chapter completed!
