The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 674 Dethroning the Prince
Liu Weixiang couldn't figure it out, he obviously hid 10 taels of silver, why did the crown prince say that there was not a single ingot of silver missing?What is going wrong here?
When this matter involved the Yun family, the emperor was furious, and jumped up against the case, angrily said: "Liu Weixiang, who gave you the courage to bully the king!"

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!" Liu Weixiang knelt on the ground with a plop, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, my humble minister is wronged."

"I'm wronged, it's obvious that there is no shortage of taels of silver, but you just said that 10 taels of silver was missing. Don't tell me that you made a mistake. If you counted 1 taels wrong, I will treat it as a mistake, but it is 10 taels of silver. Ten thousand taels!"

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is really wronged. Your Majesty, you have to trust this humble minister!"

"Okay, then explain to me, how did you wrong me?"

"This, this..." Liu Weixiang was speechless for a while, the emperor snorted coldly, and his expression became even more ugly.

The prime minister stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there are still many doubts about this matter."

"Oh? Prime Minister, but it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince said that 10 taels of silver is not short, and the veteran doesn't think there is a problem, but Mr. Liu is also a smart man. If he really wants to frame Ping Qinghou, he shouldn't use such a stupid method anyway, because Sooner or later, it will be exposed, and once exposed, this matter must be his problem, there is absolutely no second possibility."

The emperor nodded in a deep voice, as if he was thinking.

Yan Beirong seized the opportunity and said: "Father, I also think this matter is strange. His Highness the Crown Prince is a cautious person. I heard that the Crown Prince counted the relief money again earlier. If there is really no problem, It was at that time that I told my father to let the truth come out, why wait until now?"

Yan Beiqin sneered: "King De is well-informed. Do you know whether the palace has counted the relief funds in the warehouse?"

"Isn't this strange? This king has been worried about this matter, and it's normal to want to know about the situation."

"Really?" Yan Beiqin said yes, and he didn't know whether Yan Beirong was really just learning about the situation, or really caring about the victims.

Yan Beirong frowned, and when he was about to say something, he was blocked by the emperor's words: "King De is also thinking about the common people, this matter is justifiable, but the crown prince, should you explain, what is the truth of this matter? What? If you dare to deceive the king, it is also a felony."

"I understand." Yan Beiqin frowned slightly, and said: "Father, what I said is true, and 10 taels of silver is indeed not missing. As for what King De said, I am afraid it is also a misinformation. Busy looking for the whereabouts of the silver, how can I have the time to count the money, my minister firmly believes in what Master Liu said about the lack of 10 taels of silver."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Liu Weixiang, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Please trust me. I dare not lie in front of the Emperor. The 10 taels of silver are indeed missing." After speaking, Liu Weixiang seemed to suddenly think of something. He said to Yan Beiqin: "His Royal Highness, you can't favor him just because this matter is related to Ping Qinghou. I sincerely want to benefit the people of Great Yan. I have never done such a thing. Why should Your Highness wrong me?" ah."

"Master Liu, you said that I have wronged you, are you really so sure that the 10 taels of silver was really lost?"

"Of course, I'm sure."

Yan Beiqin sneered, and said, "Father, I would like to invite someone to the palace. This person is named Zhu Wang, and he is one of the people responsible for counting the relief funds. After asking, Father will know who is lying. "

"Oh? Bring it up quickly."

De'an shouted loudly: "Bring Zhu Wang to the palace!"

Liu Weixiang panicked when he heard Zhu Wang's name, and the emperor snorted coldly, seeing his demeanor.

Zhu Wang is a fat middle-aged man. Although he looks like a man who has eaten a lot of oil and water, he is upright and serious and responsible. Zhu Wang is a member of Yun Changqing. He happened to be absent because of the cold.

After Zhu Wang kowtowed to the emperor, he told all the things he knew.

"Humble job happened to be caught in the cold that night, so I wasn't there, but after this incident, Wei Chen felt uncomfortable all the time. At the same time, he felt that there must be something strange about this matter, so he asked his colleagues who were better than the humble job. Ken said that he had a few drinks with him, and later he told him that Mr. Liu hadn't counted the disaster relief funds at all that day, and he said that 10 taels of silver was missing for no reason, and he also explicitly ordered them not to say anything, Liu The adults covered the sky with one hand and gave them benefits, so everyone shut their mouths."

"Is there such a thing?"

"A humble official dare not speak nonsense in front of the emperor."

Liu Weixiang shook his head in panic, and said, "Your Majesty, this person's words cannot be trusted."

"Oh? Why is this?"

"Everyone knows that Zhu Wang is from Marquis Pingqing. Who knows whether what he said is true or not. What's more, he said that his colleague was drunk, so how can he take it seriously?"

"Master Liu, tell the truth after drinking, haven't you heard of this?"

Liu Weixiang kept shaking his head: "It's true that there is less money, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Why are you so sure?" Yan Beiqin's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Could it be that you hid the 10 taels of silver yourself, so you know it's really short?"

"Listen, Your Majesty!" Liu Weixiang seemed to be grabbing Yan Beiqin's braid, and said with a sly smile: "His Royal Highness said that he slipped the tongue, the 10 taels of silver was indeed gone, but His Royal Highness insisted on saying that it was still there. It is clear that I want to frame this minister, Your Majesty, please return this minister's innocence!"

"Father is very careful. Just now, my son said this casually. There is no shortage of money. If you don't believe me, you can go to the warehouse to count it yourself!"

Liu Weixiang saw that the development of the gaffe was completely beyond his control, and shouted impatiently: "How could there be no less, 10 taels of silver are clearly hidden in the wall of the back wall, how could there be no less, Your Majesty, too..." Prince Edward After all, he didn't say that His Highness lied, because he had recovered and knew that he had said something wrong.

The emperor was furious: "Liu Weixiang, you really have the guts to be ambitious, come here!"

Liu Weixiang took two steps back, but he didn't hear what the emperor said later. When his head went blank, he felt his hands being held. He struggled subconsciously, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the prince is deceiving the emperor!" , The prince is lying, the prince is deceiving the emperor, if the emperor is really a wise emperor, he should be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor, I suggest! Depose the prince!"
