Chapter 108 Extortion
By the time Prince Duan hurried to the meeting hall with one big step and one small step, Eunuch Mu was already sitting on a chair drinking tea.

Seeing him coming over, Eunuch Mu didn't blink his eyelids and sat there motionless, sipping the Biluochun from the cup in small sips without any intention of getting up to salute.

When he saw that Eunuch Mu was wearing homely clothes instead of palace clothes, Prince Duan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

The fact that he is not wearing palace clothes means that he is not coming from the palace, not to announce an edict or to deliver a message. He is here for private matters.

The father-in-law who served closely beside the emperor was a low-ranking official with great power, so he would not be able to offend unless he was forced to do so.

Although he was angry at Eunuch Mu's arrogant and disrespectful behavior, Prince Duan still walked in with a smile on his face. After sitting down at the main seat, he asked: "Eunuch Mu came here early in the morning, but what's the matter?"

Eunuch Mu did not chat too much with Prince Duan. He glanced at the servants waiting in the hall and said in a high voice: "The Za family naturally has something important to talk to the prince. Please step aside." He was quite bossy. smell.

The resentment in Lord Duan's heart suddenly became stronger.

Even though he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, he could have had some important matters, and he just wanted to extort some money.

Although I was thinking this in my heart, I still followed Eunuch Mu's words.

After everyone in the hall retreated, Prince Duan said, "What do you want to say to me, father-in-law?"

Only then did Eunuch Mu slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his legs with his orchid fingers, leaned back, and said in a long voice, "The Za family is here to discuss a business deal with the prince."

Suspicion surfaced in the heart of Prince Duan, and he said calmly: "Eunuch, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. As a child of the royal family, this king has never done business."

When Eunuch Mu heard this, he immediately covered his mouth and laughed "hahaha". The sharp and shriveled laughter was so creepy that Prince Duan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

After Eunuch Mu finished laughing, he said: "Your Majesty is joking. The business that the Zajia wants to steal from the Prince is not a business like a street shop. The Zajia are here to protect the Prince's life and the glory of the family."

When Prince Duan heard this, he immediately thought of his lost secret letters. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Eunuch Mu calmly and said, "When did my life fall into the hands of my father-in-law? The king actually didn’t know, so he asked the father-in-law to give him some advice.”

When Eunuch Mu heard this, his face was full of ambition and hesitation. He swung his legs and said, "Your Majesty lost something, and it happened to fall into the hands of the Za family. Do you think this business can be done or not?" As he spoke, Eunuch Mu looked towards him. Prince Duan's eyes shone with greed.

Although he was obviously horrified, Prince Duan still pretended to be calm and said: "I lost something and Eunuch Mu got it. I was so confused that I didn't know that something like this was missing."

Eunuch Mu said no more, but directly took out a tightly wrapped stack of rice paper from his chest, raised his hand and said, "You are no stranger to me, right?"

Prince Duan recognized at a glance that what Eunuch Mu was holding was indeed what he was looking for. He immediately stopped trying to hide it and said with a changed face, "How come Eunuch has something that belongs to me? Who gave it to Eunuch?"

As he spoke, Prince Duan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Unfortunately, Eunuch Mu was too focused on his own thoughts to notice.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute. This business needs to be discussed one by one slowly. Your Majesty, don't be impatient." As he said this, Eunuch Mu swaggered and put the secret letter in his hand on the table at hand. He took another sip of tea and took a sip. He said: "For this first matter, let's talk about how to redeem this secret letter. How much money does the prince intend to withdraw?"

White skin and tender flesh, a pair of narrow eyes full of greed.

Prince Duan narrowed his eyes, glanced at the secret letter on the table, suppressed the murderous look in his eyes, and said in an easy-going tone: "But it depends on the father-in-law's wishes."

Eunuch Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed loudly, "Your Majesty is indeed very cheerful, and the miscellaneous family will not embarrass you. What do you think of this?" As he spoke, the father-in-law stretched out his thin white fingers and made a sign in the air. five.

A look of disgust flashed in Prince Duan's eyes, and he said, "5000 taels?"

Eunuch Mu smiled and shook his head, "Five gold bricks." There was no trace of respect in his tone that a slave should have for a prince. Instead, he looked condescending.

Prince Duan immediately placed his hand on the armrest into a fist, but his face was calm, "It's up to you!"

Eunuch Mu immediately smiled and said: "Hey, the prince deserves such happiness. The Zajia family is actually shaken. Could it be that the Zajia family wants less? That's all, it's just five gold bricks. How can the Zajia family be a kind-hearted person?"

Having said that, Eunuch Mu rolled his eyes carefully and said with a smile: "Now let's talk about the second transaction. The Za family will tell the prince where this secret letter came from. The prince will also promise the Za family five gold bricks. How about it?"

Prince Duan held back a breath of bad breath in his chest, tried his best to control his temper, and said, "That's what my father-in-law said."

When Prince Duan nodded in agreement, Eunuch Mu immediately said in a soft voice with a smile: "It's His Royal Highness the Second Prince. As early as five or six days ago, when His Highness the Second Prince entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, he personally handed this secret letter to the Emperor."

"It's just that His Highness the Second Prince had just handed over the secret letter, and several adults from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Personnel, and Work were summoned by the emperor. The Emperor had important matters to discuss with them, so he sent His Highness the Second Prince to let him go back temporarily. "

"By the time the Emperor finished discussing with several adults, more than half a day had passed. The Emperor was mentally exhausted and had long forgotten about His Highness the Second Prince. However, the Za family were bright-eyed and saw at a glance that the secret letter actually contained your name. Name, I will secretly hide this secret letter in my sleeve while the emperor is taking a nap."

"In the final analysis, Your Majesty, you are blessed with profound blessings. If those adults were a little late, Your Majesty would have opened this secret letter and read it." As he said this, Eunuch Mu clicked his tongue twice and looked at Prince Duan with a sigh on his face. "If that were the case, how could the Zajia family have the chance to sit here and talk to you today?"

Listening to Eunuch Mu's words, Prince Duan was as shocked as if a huge wave had hit him, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

He never expected that it was Xiao Duo!It was Xiao Duo who stole his secret letter. He really looked down on that bastard!
Thanks to his profound blessings, Prince Duan's heart twitched with fear when he thought of what happened...

"Is it true that the emperor never saw this secret letter?" Prince Duan asked worriedly.

Eunuch Mu said firmly: "Of course not. Your Majesty knows the contents of this secret letter best. If the Emperor reads it, even if it only takes half a glance, doesn't Your Majesty know what the result will be!"

After listening to Eunuch Mu's words, Prince Duan, who had been hanging around for several days, finally calmed down. With a sinister smile on his lips, Prince Duan stood up and said, "Eunuch, wait a moment, I will ask the butler to get the gold bricks." .”
