The father-in-law's mansion, Zheng Chengxian, who had been at home for almost ten days, heard the words of the Beizhen commander who came to visit, signed Tian Ergeng, and said: "No! Why should he spend money to ask my family for it? My Zheng family can't open a good house!"

The father-in-law is not in a hurry. Tian Ergeng came to the door and said that he was doing business for Wei Liangchen. He asked him to give him 120,000 taels of silver. Isn’t it a big day?

Twelve thousand taels of silver!

I sold my daughter to... I counted the bride price and rewards for taking advantage of the status of my daughter and concubine. The Zheng family's property was only about 300,000 taels.

This time I opened my mouth, I would have to pay 120,000 taels. Didn’t I treat him as a sucker?

Tian Ergeng didn't dare to say anything, just listened from the side.

"Besides, the person was not called by my Zheng family. Didn't the emperor call the Ministry of Justice to investigate? Isn't it enough to find out... What money is spent indiscriminately..."

Zheng Chengxian became more and more angry the more he thought about it. "Wei Liangchen's boy is not a good person. Last year, my son finally got a job as an imperial commander. He tried to push and stop him from taking office. Now he has no money and has started his own idea. I think that boy is not kind enough, maybe he wants to coax our money in this matter!"

The more the father-in-law talked, the less he became. Although Tian Ergeng dared not talk back, he couldn't just stand and listen to Zheng Chengxian's scolding.

He smiled bitterly and looked at his little uncle Zheng Guotai.

Zheng Guotai looked at his father angrily: "Come on, just say less. Wei Liangchen is the one who is made by his sister, so how can you think so unbearable?"

After saying that, he nodded to Tian Ergeng with some regret, "Don't joke with Lord Tian, ​​my father is this kind of virtue."

"That's what you say about your father!"

The father-in-law was so angry that he stared at him. He didn't know what evil he had committed in his previous life, but he just gave birth to such an unfilial thing.

"Eunuch Wei told me in a letter that my uncle will definitely understand this matter and will definitely support it. So if the father-in-law can't figure it out, he will have to persuade me very much." Tian Ergeng said.

"I don't need to say this, I understand it too, it's amazing,"

Zheng Guotai sighed, "My sister's situation is not good now. The people of the Donglin Party all say that my sister is trying to harm the prince. His Majesty is also skeptical. If you want to save it, you must occupy the propaganda position."

After saying that, he turned his face and turned his face to blanch his father, "If something happens to you, even if you have a silver mountain, you will belong to someone else."

"snort!"

Zheng Seung-heon was depressed, but he knew that his son was right. His daughter was really hurt. He, Zheng Seung-heon, would be afraid that he would not even be able to handle the pig killing business.

"Can you lose some? 120,000 taels are too much, and I will ask me to go and get somewhere in a while." The father-in-law, who figured it out, felt that the number might not be dead. It was impossible that Wei Liangchen's boy said he would really give it all, so he would have to give it to him if he wanted 120,000 taels.

Tian Ergeng looked embarrassed: "Best-in-law, I'm fine if I want the Empress, I really can't save money."

"It's only 120,000. I'll find a way to deal with money. Lord Tian will come again tomorrow."

Zheng Guotai stopped his father who was about to open his mouth and looked at Tian Ergeng very seriously, "Mr. Tian is sure that if the money is spent, the matter will be calmed down?"

"Uncle, Eunuch Wei said that there is no money to deal with in this world. If it is not settled, then add money." Tian Ergeng reposted this sentence and he thought it was reasonable.

"That's the case."

Zheng Guotai nodded, but this was not the case. He, a younger brother, could not watch something happen to his elder sister.

............

The next day, Tian Ergeng went to Zheng Mansion again. This time he received the money tickets that Zheng Guotai had redeemed from major money houses in Beijing overnight, part of which was the high interest rate raised by his uncle.

This is also a helpless thing. No matter who has money in this capital, it is unlikely that it will be possible to take out 120,000 taels of cash in one go.

After Tian Ergeng got the money ticket, he started to do business.

Liu Tingyuan, the censor of the Imperial City, was the first to receive a huge sum of money from unknown origin. When the old servant handed him two bills of money worth 3,000 silver each, the pupils of Liu almost magnified.

Subsequently, the censor Liu Guangfu, the officials of the Ministry of Justice Hu Shixiang, Yue Junsheng, Lao Yongjia, Wu Erxia and other relevant personnel involved in the attack received huge sums of money from unknown origins.

After receiving the silver notes, Lao Yongjia, who was in charge of the Xingke, said to his wife: "Not to mention buying these tens of thousands of gold and silver, even his descendants have bought them."

Among these officials, there were non-party members, including Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Chu Party, and Donglin Party. No matter which party they belong to, these officials accepted the money ticket without exception.

In addition to these relevant personnel who directly participated in the trial of the attack case, some students from Kedao and Imperial College also received money from unknown origins. The eunuchs who were responsible for the printing of the Neijing Ink Factory and the Foreign Economic Factory also collected the money.

The 120,000 taels of silver collected by the Zheng family were astigmatized quietly like flowing water.

......

The direction of the court changed quickly. Many officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology submitted memorials to the emperor, believing that the attack case was likely to be someone deliberately provoking trouble to sow the relationship between the imperial concubine and the Eastern Palace.

There are also rumors among the people that the status of the Eastern Palace has been established long ago, and Concubine Zheng has no reason to send a fool to assassinate the prince with a wooden stick. Therefore, this is very likely a bitter plan made by the Eastern Palace to frame Concubine Zheng. The reason is that the Concubine recently gave birth to a young son for the emperor.

Some people even said that this was instructed by the Empress, and the reason sounded even more ridiculous. They said that the Empress was jealous of the concubine giving birth to a child, so they instructed people to frame the concubine.

There are all kinds of statements, and the instructions of the imperial concubine who was widely circulated before were spread inside and outside the court, so that no one outsiders know the truth.

Wanli was also a little confused. After so many days of calm, the emperor began to wonder if he had blamed the imperial concubine wrongly.

The most uncomfortable thing is the prince Zhu Changluo. After hearing the so-called "bitter plan", he was furious and asked Wang An to find out who was spreading such rumors. However, the capital is so big and the East Palace does not have the power to mobilize the factory guards, so Wang An asked how to investigate.

It’s okay if there are messy rumors. The Ministry of Justice has thoroughly investigated this case, but to make matters worse, someone actually went to the East Palace to collect debts from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

"Your Highness, it is natural to repay the debt. Even if you are the crown prince, you have to pay back the money. If your Highness does not repay it, I will have to ask the emperor to be fair."

"As the crown prince, your highness should be an example for the world. If your highness doesn't pay back the debt, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Facing His Royal Highness, Chen Mo was not guilty because he had a loan contract signed between His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Wei Liangchen, and His Royal Highness Shouning Princess.

In black and white, Prince, you are embarrassed to refuse to admit it, and you are embarrassed not to return it?
