eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 44 Ending
Donggong Xifangdian.

Zhu Houzhao had indeed been waiting until the night slowly passed, but there was no movement at dawn, and he wanted to remind him.

"Come on."

With a creak, Zhang Yong pushed the door and came in, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"It's been two hours since Liu Jin came back with any news?"

Zhang Yong replied: "There is no letter yet."

"oh I got it."

The sky turned white.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his sore eyes, threw the book in his hand aside, and prepared to put on his cloak and get up and walk.

Although Zhang Yong is not as flattering as Liu Jin, he can still see the work with his eyes, so he hurried up to serve,

"Your Highness, I'm worried about Liu Jin's side, what's wrong?"

Zhu Houzhao was a little contemplative, but he didn't answer for a while.

After that, I told him what I told Liu Jin last night.

Li Guang is as cunning as a fox, and the final result really depends on how Liu Jin responds.

Zhu Houzhao looked up at Zhang Yong, and found that this guy was stunned, probably not expecting it at all.

Eunuch Zhang could only laugh dryly, "Then... Your Highness thought that Li Guang might take the opportunity to procrastinate, so it should be... already arranged?"

"If I'm really going to save him, that can be arranged. But it's difficult to make a deal with one hammer, because there is too little time in one night, and the civil servants will definitely knock on the palace gate at dawn. However, I have also ordered It's Liu Jin."

Zhang Yong felt a loud thunder in his head again!His handsome face was full of expressions and wonderful.

"Your Highness didn't intend to save him?!"

Zhu Houzhao is not an explanation, he is not in the mood to explain to this guy a little bit at the moment, but just sighs, "It all depends on Liu Jin."

If he is more capable, he will always have more money.

After waiting for another three quarters of an hour,

Liu Jin finally appeared in the East Palace. He lowered his head and hurried to the Xiefang Palace with small steps.

"Your Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao saw him in the inner room, and quickly walked to the gate of the palace, "How? Is everything settled?"

Eunuch Liu knelt in front of him, "If you go back to Your Highness, the silver you have already got is 18 taels of gold and 180 million taels of silver. The servants sent someone to transfer them overnight, and they are all hidden in a safe place now. Your Highness expected it well, Then Li Guang is really a black-hearted villain! At the beginning, he wanted to fool the slaves with a mere 60 taels of silver! His Highness tried to give him a way to survive, but he didn't appreciate it at all. And, according to him, there are still 300 million taels of silver. The two pieces of silver are not in the capital, but this servant has personally witnessed him ordering someone to leave the capital, and promised that as long as His Highness allows some time, the silver must be indispensable!"

Zhu Houzhao felt a surge of excitement in his heart. After many days of planning, he finally got something!
In fact, for him, for a prince, money is just a resource, and it is no longer the same as getting rich or getting rich.

However, with this money, there are many things to do!

On the other hand, Zhang Yong was in a hurry, "There are still 300 million taels of silver? How could you be so greedy?! This thief should be killed! By the way, Eunuch Liu, did you ask Li Guang to tell where the hidden silver is?!"

"Not really." He blinked back.

"Why?! Such an important matter, why should we ask clearly! Or we can send someone to investigate it ourselves! Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must find the 300 million taels of silver for His Highness!"

Liu Jin asked calmly: "What are you looking for? Li Guang is about to die. The court will confiscate his home when he dies, and the emperor will surely find out that Li Guang has done many illegal things behind his back. For one thing, even if the emperor doesn't know about the investigation, he will let Jin Yiwei search secretly. And once our people go in, they will inevitably leave clues. As for the question..."

"...That's even more unnecessary. This is a life-saving method Li Guang came up with. He deliberately said a big number, just hoping to win His Highness's heart, so that His Highness will help him pass this test for money. So no matter what Whether he is not in Beijing, or find some other reason, he always has to have an explanation for a period of time. In this case, even if we ask, it must be a fake. When you find out that it is a fake, then It will take many days, and as long as he is alive at that time, donating a large sum of money, a method of deceiving others for self-protection... will not kill him."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help admiring,
This Liu Jin is the most accurate in guessing his thoughts and understanding his intentions.

"The three million taels of silver... what to do?"

"There should be some silver, but there will never be 300 million taels." Zhu Houzhao went back and sat down, "After I was so scared, the silver that Li Guang took out for the first time would not be a small amount. Small, millions of taels of silver, really shocking. But the rhetoric afterwards... The 300 million that was shipped outside Beijing should be fake. .Even if they don’t make it all together, as Liu Jin said, if you tell a little lie and lose a few 10 taels, it will not kill him.”

As for how much Li Guang kept, let the court take it when it ransacked the house.

Liu Jin had to think carefully about all these things before he could think clearly and comprehensively.

But before that, His Highness had already explained to him.

This thought is really deep.

Thinking this way in his heart, he said flatteringly, "That's the truth. It's already a critical point of life and death. Li Guang must use any tricks. The words of 300 million silver... are really unbelievable."

Zhang Yong only felt as if... he had nothing to do with this matter,
Why do people want to get it?

Zhu Houzhao also comforted him, "Zhang Yong, you don't have to feel discouraged. Li Guang is an old fox for many years. We are threatening him with our lives, but look at him, even though he is a slave, he can still fight with me at the juncture of life and death. It's not easy for the prince to play so many tricks. So, it's normal for you to think of some tricks."

Who can leave a name in history, and which one is simple?

Fortunately, he, Zhu Houzhao, is not a fool either, so if he sees his tricks, he can do it this time.

In the process, if there was any omission in the slightest, with Li Guang's ability, it would be slippery and slip through.

"...Slaves are fine, as long as this matter is beneficial to His Highness. Of course, it's a pity that there are so many silvers. This person is really hateful!"

But Zhu Houzhao was satisfied, "180 million taels is not a lot. I am the prince, so how much money is too much? As long as there is a sum of money that can be leveraged, there will be no big problems in the future."

With such a result, Zhu Houzhao basically let go of most of his heart, and the sky was completely bright.

He stretched his waist and ordered: "I'm going to sleep. After waking up, let's go to the royal father's court. Li Guang's matter should be settled."

This kind of bad eunuch naturally wanted his money first, and then his life.
