I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 112
Another charge of 50 taels of silver?

Zhu Jixi's complexion changed when he just sat down, and he fell to the ground with a bald head, holding the stool with his hand, and said with a daze in his eyes:
"Chen... what crime did you commit again?"

"Look at you, how come you can't even sit on a stool after taking in a concubine."

Pulling Zhu Jixi up from the ground and sitting on the stool again, Li Tian shook his head and looked at Zheng He with a sigh:

"Uncle Bao, let the Imperial Hospital send two imperial physicians to Prince Jin's mansion tomorrow, and ask them to take a good look at whether my imperial brother is overindulgent and his body is dying."

"No, no, your majesty, I'm fine." Zhu Jixi hurriedly waved his hands and refused after hearing the words.

"How can there be no problem? Don't push yourself, brother. If you are sick, we will treat it. It is a fool's behavior to avoid medical treatment when you are sick. Don't worry, I will cover all the expenses of seeing a doctor."

"Your Majesty, the minister's health is really fine, and he really can't be used as an imperial doctor in the palace."

Zhu Jixi's head shook like a rattle, and his brow was sweating anxiously.

"Really okay?"

"No problem, Your Majesty, let's talk about the 50 taels of silver."

"It's fine."

Li Tian laughed, his face suddenly turned, and he immediately asked:
"Since there is no problem, then you can tell me, where did you get the auctioned goods at the Sea Lion Tower?"

Hearing the words "Sea Lion Building", Zhu Jixi shook his body, and seemed to be tilted again.

This time Li Tian didn't help him, and put his hands behind his back, watching Zhu Jixi collapsed on the ground:
"Zhu Jixi, I see that you have serious physical problems. I'm afraid you won't be able to heal your wounds without scraping your bones."

Having said so much, Zhu Jixi still didn't realize that the matter of Fanhuo had been exposed, so he hurriedly buried his head on the ground, and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, I have lost my mind for a while, and I promise that I will never dare again in the future."

"Hmph, I didn't see that you were out of your mind." With a cold snort, Li Tianyin waved his sleeves with a sullen face.

"It's only been two days since Western goods came into my treasury, and your sea lion house even held an auction. I think you're very brave."

Zhu Jixi's body trembled and trembled when Li Tian said it, his expression was full of fear, he moaned and cried, hugged Li Tian's leg and said in mourning:

"Tomorrow, I will hand over all the money from the auction of Fanhuo to Director Jiang. Your Majesty will forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again in the future."

Allowing Zhu Jixi to hug his leg and beg for mercy, Li Tian licked his lips without a trace, and asked with a smile:

"Tell me the truth, how many taels of silver have you auctioned off for my fanboys?"

"I said, I said." Seeing that the emperor didn't punish him immediately, Zhu Jixi relaxed a little, and hurriedly said:
"The shopkeeper of the Sea Lion Building is just outside, Your Majesty, you will know when you ask me."

Although Li Tian made up his mind to make Zhu Jixi bloody, he still had to take care of the face of the dignified prince.

After all, if a merchant saw Zhu Jixi kneeling down and begging for mercy, then Zhu Jixi would not have much prestige in the future.

"Go, I'll be waiting for you."

Zhu Jixi nodded excitedly, wiped his face vigorously with his sleeve, and walked out of the room quickly.

Sipping the tea contentedly, Li Tian couldn't help but look at Zhu Meiwan with a demented look, and coughed twice:
"Brother Zhu, what are you thinking about?"

Zhu Meiwan shuddered when she heard the sound, just like his father, she quickly buried her head on the ground:

"Mei Wan didn't know His Majesty's identity, so she offended His Majesty, and please forgive Mei Wan for the sake of Mei Wan's young age."

"Hahaha." Li Tianlang laughed loudly, put down the cup of tea in his hand, got up and smiled, saying:

"We are a family with blood, and we are all a great grandfather. How could I punish you for your crime?"

"Meiwan was talking nonsense and talking nonsense before, your Majesty must not take it to heart."

Seeing Zhu Meiwan's panic-stricken appearance, Li Tian didn't bother to continue teasing his eldest nephew, so he winked at Zheng He, waved his hands and said:
"Okay, go ahead and do whatever you want, your father will support you when the sky falls, and it's none of your business here."

"Mei Wan dare not, Mei Wan is willing to accept the crime together with her father."

Hehe, Li Tian was really surprised, this Zhu Meiwan looked like a fool, but unexpectedly he was a dutiful son.

Well, filial son, what Li Tian likes most is filial son.

"That's right, just to say this to you, I will give your father 2000 taels of silver off whatever I say."

Is it worth 2000 taels of silver?Zhu Meiwan was startled when he heard the words, and then froze.

As soon as Li Tian had just spoken to Zhu Meiwan, Zhu Jixi, who was burning his ass in a hurry, finished the question, hurriedly pushed the door back, bent down and bowed to the tunnel:

"Your Majesty, I have asked you clearly. The Sea Lion Building has held two auctions of 25 pieces of goods, and the total auction price is 9000 taels of silver. There are still [-] pieces in stock in the warehouse."

Fuck, almost 25 taels of silver were sold for only 2 pieces of Fanhuo.

Counting with his fingers, Li Tian hissed and gasped, and the average price of a single piece of special goods was almost 1000 taels.

Thinking that the money was originally his own, Li Tian suddenly became unhappy, slapped the table heavily, and said angrily:
"Well, you Zhu Jixi, within three or two days you have stolen forty or fifty items from my treasury."

"I deserve ten thousand deaths for my crimes, and I deserve ten thousand deaths for my sins."

"It's fine to know that your sin deserves death. The national funeral has just passed, and the bones of the late emperor are still cold, so I don't want you to pay for your crime with your life.

How about this, I rewarded you for those fanfare rights. Within three days, you hand over 50 taels of silver to me, and I will forgive you once. "

It turned out that this was the charge of the 50 taels of silver.
It was dark before Zhu Jixi's eyes, and Zhu Jixi only felt ringing in his ears, 50 taels of silver, which he would have to save for half a year without eating or drinking.

Clenching his back molars tightly, Zhu Jixi tried his best not to faint, and his head hit the ground with two muffled sounds:
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your mercy."

Li Tian was very satisfied with the 50 taels entered into the account in this way, and pretended to be heartbroken:

"Don't be an example, let's get flat."

Standing up with a pendulum, Zhu Jixi cupped his hands as if he had lost his soul and said:
"Your Majesty, although I have some property, 50 taels of silver is too much for me, so I will resign and go to raise money first."

Fearing that he couldn't hold back his laughter, Li Tian turned his back to Zhu Jixi and waved his hands casually.

After waiting for a while, about Zhu Jixi had gone away, Li Tian couldn't hold back the joy in his heart anymore, and burst out laughing unscrupulously.

The corners of Zheng He's mouth twitched as he watched from the side, and he thought to himself, it may take at least two years for King Jin to regain his vitality.

"Jiang Bao, give me some money from Prince Jin. These princes are very rich. Don't listen to him crying about a two-day grace period."

"The old slave remembers."
