Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 284 Gold (4)
The King of the Northern Liao Dynasty was taken aback when he heard the words. He knew that although Lianxiu suffered a heavy setback, the business was still going on. He just went to Goryeo to do business. Huge amount of gold?

So he asked the messenger, "Where is this batch of gold now?"

The messenger replied: "Go back to the king, because they did not have the normal official procedures, the general has already seized them, and now this batch of gold is under the control of the border guards, and they have not been allowed to enter Korea."

The King of Northern Liao asked again: "What do the people in the caravan say about this batch of gold?"

The messenger said: "The leader of the team is a steward. He said that the goods of the Jinche team were packaged in advance. He followed the owner's instructions and brought them directly. He didn't even know what was inside."

The King of Beiliao's face was extremely gloomy, and he said: "Transporting gold from our territory in Beiliao to other countries in such a sneaky manner, this is obviously bad intentions! Go back immediately and tell the commander of the frontier army what to say about this batch of gold without my order." Can't let go either!"

The messenger replied: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After speaking, he turned around and went out and flew back to the border.

The King of Beiliao sat there thinking about it, and finally got up and went out, hesitatingly came to the Taiping Palace where Lian Chongxue was imprisoned, and asked the guards to open the door and enter.

Lian Chongxue has been pampered and pampered since she was a child. How could she have endured this kind of suffering? Although she was locked up for more than ten days, she has been haggard for a long time. Although she tried her best to maintain her demeanor, she was also very embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, the king of Beiliao felt uncomfortable, and stood there without speaking first.

Although Lian Chongxue was embarrassed, he was very calm. He didn't see how excited he was when he saw the king of Beiliao. He greeted the king as before and said: "The concubine welcomes the king. I didn't expect the king to come to see the concubine."

The King of Beiliao had mixed feelings, and said, "I really don't want to see you, but nothing happens."

Lian Chongxue frowned. She knew she had done too many things in the past, and she wondered if the king of Beiliao had discovered something again, but she still asked calmly, "I don't know if there is anything important for the king. See the concubine?"

Beiliao king said: "Your elder brother actually smuggled gold to Korea, and counting the days, it should be before you are exposed."

As soon as he mentioned the word gold, Lian Chongxue was startled. She knew that Lian Xiu didn't have much silver in his hands. If it was gold, it was probably from the Songning Gold Mine, but how could he transport it to Korea?

The King of Beiliao saw her change of color but did not speak, snorted and said: "Hmph, it seems that you really know! If you can't come up with a clear and reasonable explanation for the matter of smuggling gold to the people and violating the laws of Beiliao, That is the crime of treason!"

Lian Chongxue hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty, don't listen to nonsense, elder brother will definitely use gold and silver to do business, and you can't use silver bills from Beiliao in Koryo. It's normal to transport silver, and, moreover, elder brother The commercial rights have been assigned to Gong Liang after the separation, maybe Gong Liang doesn’t understand the procedures of large-scale bank transfers, so there is such a loophole!”

Beiliao King said: "Don't understand? I don't understand that he would write gold as pottery? Besides, Beiliao sells goods to Goryeo for sale. How can a large amount of silver be used in Goryeo, and all of them are gold."

Bian Chongxue said: "This...maybe he encountered something over there and needed money to take care of it."

The King of Beiliao said angrily: "That's all! Don't think I don't know these people. You have been instructing them to do things for you, and you are still quibbling for them. It must be related to you. Let's see how I can find out clearly !"

After speaking, the King of Beiliao rushed out of Chenghua Palace angrily, and asked the palace staff to lock the palace door again. In the empty and dilapidated palace, only Lian Chongxue stood there wondering.

No matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't figure out what was going on with Lian Xiu. Why did he send the gold to Korea? It was nothing more than luck. According to his way of doing things, he should get through the joints in advance. How could he be found out so easily?
After the King of Beiliao left Lian Chongxue, he ordered people to investigate Lianxiu's details and find out the source of the gold.

The officials who had just been ordered sent him away, and then someone came to report that Chen Changzhi, the magistrate of Songning County, Huikang Prefecture, had come to see him.

The king of Beiliao was worrying about the matter of the Lian family, and said irritably, "He is a county magistrate, but he can't stay in the county government to solve the case, so why did he come to the king's capital?"

The official who reported said: "He said that he has something important to report to the king, because the matter is so important that he dare not speak up at will."

The King of Northern Liao came back to his senses and thought that Songning was in the territory of Huikang Mansion. Could it be that what Changzhi reported had something to do with Lianxiu Yunjin?Thinking about it, he said, "Okay, let him come and see him right away."

The official took the order to go out and brought Chen Changzhi into the hall after a while.

It was the first time that Chen Changzhi saw the King of the Northern Liao Dynasty after he had been an official for many years.

The King of the Northern Liao Dynasty said: "You are Chen Changzhi, the magistrate of Songning County?"

Chen Changzhi lay on the ground and said: "Go back to the king, the next official is right."

The King of Beiliao said, "I heard that you have something important to report, so tell me quickly what it is."

Chen Changzhi blinked his small eyes and looked around, said: "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the elder brother of the Third Prince and Concubine Lian, and I think it's better to report it alone."

The King of Northern Liao heard that Lianxiu was not the only one involved, and even brought his third son into it. His expression became even more gloomy, but he still told the idlers to leave as Chen Changzhi said, and then said: "Okay, everyone will leave. Yes, you can say it."

Seeing this, Chen Changzhi took out a Qin Zhe from his sleeve, put on an impassioned look, and said, "Your Majesty, please let the lower officials decide! The third prince Luo Sai colluded with the wealthy businessman Lianxiu to open a gold mine privately, disregarding human life, threatening Coercing the court to relocate officials, without the king's law, ruining the country's interests with wealth, low officials and low positions, really powerless to punish, so I risked my life to report to the king, please the king's judgment!"

The King of Beiliao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Just now he was guessing that what he was about to say had something to do with Lian Xiu Yunjin, but he didn't expect it to come as he guessed.

He opened the memorial and read it from the beginning to the end, and saw that what was written in it was exactly the same as what Chen Changzhi said, but in more detail.

With a gloomy complexion, he stared coldly at Chen Changzhi who was kneeling in front of his feet, and said, "Is what you said true? You need to know who the two people you sued belong to my king!"

Chen Changzhi kowtowed heavily to the ground, and said: "Go back to the king, of course the lower official knows, if it wasn't for this, how could the lower official come to see the king directly? If the king doesn't believe it, he can send someone to verify it, and if there is any discrepancy with what the subordinate said, the subordinate is willing to accept the crime!"

Beiliao held the memorial and looked at him for a while, and said: "Let's not say whether you are guilty or not, do you know that I just received a message, which happened to be related to your memorial, and it was a coincidence that two things happened at the same time. I want to ask why you came so timely, is it possible that someone arranged for you to come?!"
