Chapter 71 Unlocking
Zhao Xing returned to the East Palace and asked someone to call Li Wanling over.
"My slave, please pay homage to Your Highness!" Li Wanling saluted.
Zhao Xing waved his hand and said: "I have told my father about your matter, and my father has arranged for people to investigate. In addition, my father has also sent people to pick you up and will put you down first. If there is any If you really have an grievance, you will naturally clear your father's name, and you will leave the Jiaofang Division."
"Thank you, Your Highness! I can't repay you for your great kindness. I will give you my freedom in the future. His Highness set up a monument of immortality and worshiped it every day.”
Li Wanling shed tears of excitement, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Xing.
"No, I am the crown prince. I will naturally take care of things like this. You don't need to thank me." Zhao Xing waved his hand.
Just kidding, he set up a monument for a living person to worship. Although it is a monument of longevity, it still feels weird.
After handing Li Wanling to the eunuch sent by his father to pick her up, Zhao Xing went to class.
……
Those families thought they had admitted their mistake to the officials and their children would come back soon.
However, after waiting for a day, the person still did not come back.
The next day they went to the palace again to plead guilty to the officials, but the officials reprimanded them, saying that they did not know how to teach their children. They even dared to beat the people sent by the prince, and they had the nerve to beg him. Let him go.
They didn't know there was such a thing, they didn't dare to argue, let alone ask the officials to let him go, so they left in despair.
They also knew that the root cause of this matter still lay with the prince. Only if they could ask the prince for forgiveness could their child be released.
Otherwise, we don’t know how long we will be detained.
So after coming out of the palace, he went home and asked someone to prepare a gift, and came to the East Palace to see Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing was in class, and Liu Sanshi didn’t dare to disturb him.
After Zhao Xing finished class, he reported the incident.
Zhao Xing asked, whispered a few words to Liu Sanshi, and Liu Sanshi took the order.
...
Gan Dalang and Wei Sanlang and their fathers were waiting for news in the front hall of the East Palace.
"Eunuch Liu, what did His Royal Highness say?"
Seeing Liu Sanshi return, Zhao Xing did not come over, so he quickly surrounded him and started asking questions.
"Everyone, I have informed His Highness, but His Highness is currently angry. You should wait a few days before coming back." Liu Sanshi said.
"Eunuch Liu, I don't know how to calm down His Highness?" Wei Sanlang's father said, taking out a banknote from his sleeve and stuffing it into it.
The others followed suit and took out their banknotes to bribe Liu Sanshi.
For them, it doesn’t matter if their son is locked up for a few days, it’s just a little suffering.
How to calm down Zhao Xing is the most important thing.
"My lords, this is impossible." Liu Sanshi quickly refused.
"I would like to ask Eunuch Liu to give you a kind word, but I don't have much money. Eunuch Liu will take it and drink some tea."
"Yes, Eunuch Liu, just accept it."
After everyone's persuasion, Liu Sanshi pretended to be helpless and accepted the banknote.
“Everyone, it’s not that I don’t give you a good word, but the young men of several adults have gone too far. They even dare to beat the people sent by His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is now angry and must be allowed to do so. Now that my anger has subsided, I can put in a good word for these adults," Liu Sanshi said.
"Then how can we calm down His Highness?" Wei Sanlang's father asked.
"His Royal Highness likes to play with some rare and rare treasures on weekdays." Liu Sanshi said: "His Royal Highness said, let all the adults take back all the gifts you brought."
Liu Sanshi first said that the prince likes rare and rare treasures. Bao, and asked them to take the gifts back.
No matter how stupid they are, they know that the prince is not satisfied with what they sent.
So he said nothing more and left.
……
"Did they send these?"
After finishing school at noon, Zhao Xing returned to the main hall of the East Palace. He looked at a dozen boxes placed on the table and opened one at random, only to see that there were A light blue fist-sized bead was taken out and looked at.
"Exactly, I have seen it. They are some rare treasures, like the luminous pearl in His Highness's hand. There are not many such big ones in the palace." Liu Sanshi said.
Zhao Xing curled his lips, what a luminous pearl, isn’t it fluorite. I opened all the other boxes and looked at them. There were jade articles, calligraphy and paintings by famous people.
"How much would these things be worth if they were sold?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Uh."
Liu Sanshi was stunned when he heard this and said: "Your Highness, I don't know the value of these. They should be worth at least 70,000 to 80,000 taels. "
"Ha."
Zhao Xing sneered: "These people are quite rich, just collect these things and send them to the warehouse."
"Your Highness, they also gave the slave some silver notes, a total of one thousand three hundred taels."
Liu Sanshi took out a few silver notes from his arms, held them in both hands and handed them to Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing glanced at him and said, "Since they gave it to you, what did you do to Gu?"
"This slave is working for His Highness, how dare you ask for their money. Liu Sanshi said quickly.
"You have worked hard this time, keep one hundred taels, and divide the rest equally among the servants of the East Palace." Zhao Xing said.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." Liu Sanshi said happily.
"Send someone to the Kaifeng government office to inform him and let him go."
Zhao Xing smiled, this Liu Sanshi is indeed smart.
“Yes!”
Liu Sanshi responded and called someone to take away all the treasures.
"I originally thought it would be good to get two to thirty thousand taels, but it seems that I still underestimated the net worth of these officials in the Song Dynasty." Zhao Xing muttered.
He had those dandy boys taken down and sent to the Kaifeng government office, just to teach them a lesson and get some benefits from them.
The generosity of these families was beyond his expectation.
The fact that they were able to bring something worth seventy or eighty thousand taels to him showed that they were exposed to the light and were not afraid of investigation.
This shows how wealthy these officials are.
However, the imperial court was short of money every year, which I have to say is an irony.
......
"Old Madam."
The salutes of Danju and Xiaotao woke up Minglan, who was sitting in front of the Ruyi table with her arms crossed in a daze.
Seeing Mrs. Sheng and Mama Fang walk in, she quickly stood up and saluted: "Grandma!"
Old Mrs. Sheng nodded slightly, came to Minglan and sat down, pressed her hands and said, "Sit down."
"Yes." Minglan responded and sat down.
Fang’s mother led Dan Ju and Xiao Tao out.
"Does your hand still hurt?" Mrs. Sheng asked.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Minglan shook her head and said.
"Before, when you were studying during the day, although you always did not do well, your attitude was very correct. Why have you been distracted so much in the past two days?" Old Mrs. Sheng asked.
"My granddaughter is wrong, I will focus on it in the future." Minglan lowered her head and said.
Old Mrs. Sheng sighed and said, "Is it because I found out from your fifth sister that you will marry her in the future, and you feel uncomfortable?"
Minglan lowered her head after hearing this. Silently, although she is still young, she knows a lot more than Lando.
She naturally understands what dowry means.
"I was born in the House of Yongyi Hou. My parents only have one daughter. They have been very obedient to me since I was a child. At that time, I didn't know what sorrow was. Marriage has always been a matter of parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. However, I fell in love with you at a glance. Grandfather. Although my parents were reluctant, I finally agreed.
Just when I thought I could live a smooth life, my relationship with your grandfather was not harmonious. I felt depressed and felt sorry for myself for a long time, only then did I realize that life is most likely to be unsatisfactory. "
Old Mrs. Sheng told this past event in a very calm and calm tone, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.
