Chapter 86, Digging Three Feet

The two maids rushed over, both with lingering fears and pale faces. They followed the young lady one to the left and the other to the right. They felt very ashamed of the young lady.Because just now they could only watch in vain as the young lady took risks to save others, but they themselves could not do anything to help.

Linglong was also shocked!It's so thrilling that the young lady will meet His Highness the Crown Prince today: "Miss, fortunately you're okay. Those soldiers and horses just now were too scary! It's all our fault that we were useless and couldn't help the young lady. Young lady, are you okay?"

Linglong had no such experience in that dream.She had been brought to the capital at this time before and would soon be sent to the Prince's Mansion.It turned out that it was the time when the prince returned from Nanshan.

Rong Yue glanced at the jade pendant in her hand and threw it to Linglong with disgust: "This jade pendant was given to me by the man just now as a reward for saving people. Give it to you!" She doesn't want anything belonging to the prince. !If you didn't have time to return it just now, then give it to your maid.The prince's character is a scumbag, but the jade pendant itself is not guilty.

Only then did Zhu Zhuoxi see clearly that although the woman in front of him was dressed simply and plainly, she was naturally beautiful and had an innate nobility, and her every move had her own aura.

He suddenly thought of someone and couldn't help but ask: "Are you Miss Rong Yue, the legitimate daughter of General Rong Jing and Yun Luo?"

Rong Yue didn't expect that someone would recognize her father and mother in a place like this, and she was a little happy: "Exactly. Do you know my father and mother?"

Zhu Zhuoxi became excited again: "How much more do you know? Your mother Yunluo has great medical skills and saved the old man once. Unexpectedly, you saved my eldest grandson's life again today. The old man has received great kindness twice, but has no repayment. It's really Ashamed!”

As he spoke, he took off a wooden sign from his waist and handed it to Rong Yue: "Give this wooden sign to Miss Rong! Although it has little use, it is a token of "Wenxintang". The old man was in Beijing back then. If you have been in the middle school, you can be considered as having a place in Wenxintang. Nowadays, there are many old students in the imperial court. Although people are leaving, if you have something to do in the future, take it to the "Wenxin Hall" in Beijing. "Xintang" go to Zhu Huatang, he will do his best to help you."

"Why are you so embarrassed? This wooden sign must be very important to you." Rong Yue saw that although the old man Zhu gave her only a wooden sign, the pattern carved on it was very exquisite, and it was also a finely carved piece of rosewood. It is made with the words "Wenxintang" carved on it.The old man hangs it around his waist, which shows that it is an important thing.

Zhu Zhuoxi said: "No, it is no longer important to me. I have withdrawn from the court and retired to the countryside. But if you hold it, it may be useful or not. It is just a piece of wood. If you hold it, let it go. I would like to express my gratitude in my heart."

Since Uncle Zhu said this, Rong Yue had no choice but to accept it: "Uncle Zhu, you seem to know that the person just now is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhu Zhuoxi: "I know."

Rong Yue: "Then do you know where His Royal Highness the Prince is going with those cavalry?" Rong Yue looked at the direction those soldiers and horses were heading, and had a vague guess in her heart, but she couldn't be sure.

Zhu Bo said: "That is the direction to Zhennan Palace. If I am not wrong, Zhennan Palace will be finished this time. The emperor has been jealous for many years, and now I am afraid that Zhennan King will no longer be allowed to continue to dominate."

This was just as Rong Yue guessed, and Rong Yue finally understood.However, the King of Zhennan did not have the capital to raise an army, so how could he still dare to raise an army?Since you can't afford to send troops, for what reason will your Royal Highness go to search the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?Will the whole family be executed?Even if it is checked and copied, what can be found?While Rong Yue was making random guesses, Linglong was in a daze holding the jade pendant of His Highness the Crown Prince.She did not expect that the jade pendant given to her by His Royal Highness in the dream would be delivered to her in this form.She was trembling a little as if she were holding a hot piece of mountain bamboo.

Rong Yue and Uncle Zhu both guessed correctly. His Royal Highness was indeed surrounding the Zhennan Palace with three thousand elite cavalry at this moment.

The King of Zhennan led Prince Qi and all the people in the palace to personally come out to greet him. He knelt on the ground and knelt before the prince, and greeted the imperial edict: "Wei ministers led everyone from the Prince of Zhennan's house to kowtow to His Highness the Prince! I don't know that His Highness the Prince led three thousand fine cavalry to surround the town. What do you want from the Nanwang Mansion?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not dismount. He sat on the tall horse and glanced at the kneeling King of Zhennan. He declared coldly from a high position: "Everyone knows that King Zhennan is rebellious. I, the Crown Prince, have been ordered to exterminate the rebels. General Wang, Declare the decree!”

General Wang was about to announce the decree when the King of Zhennan fell to the ground and shouted: "Wait a minute! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has real evidence to prove that the ministers have treasonous intentions, the ministers and their families will naturally be willing to bow their heads and be executed. Even if the whole family is beheaded, they can only rely on the holy will." , I will never dare to resist. However, I have always been loyal to the Holy One, and the sun and the moon can show it. I absolutely dare not take responsibility for this unfounded charge of treason, and I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to be careful."

When the Crown Prince came, he thought there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that the King of Zhennan would lead the entire palace to kneel down to greet him. There was not a single soldier or general in the palace, and he still defended himself loudly?

He took out an account book on the spot, raised it, and said loudly: "This is the account book that you privately manufactured weapons, privately dug mines, recruited soldiers and horses, privately minted copper coins, and hid a large amount of gold and silver in your house. There is irrefutable evidence. You Still want to quibble?"

King Zhennan immediately shouted: "This is a false account! I did not dig mines selflessly, nor did I cast copper coins selflessly. I have no gold or silver! Your Highness, the Crown Prince, cannot convict me of treason just based on a false account!" "

The prince sneered: "You really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River! Tie them up first, and then search the whole house for me! Dig the ground inside and outside the Zhennan Palace for three feet, and find out for me the gold and silver he collected. .”

The King of Zhennan's family did not resist, and all were allowed to be tied up by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Prince Li Yong had asked his subordinates to investigate in advance and found out that King Zhennan had become extremely wealthy in recent years due to private mining of mines and private casting of copper coins.There is a large basement under the study in his house, which contains mountains of gold and silver, which has long made him extremely jealous.

In order to win over the ministers of the DPRK and China to support him, His Royal Highness has spent a huge amount of money every year over the years.Therefore, this time his men got the account book and he made a great contribution to his father, so he immediately asked for an order to go south to inspect the Zhennan Palace again, just to make a secret profit while inspecting the Zhennan Palace.

Although it is risky to go south to check on the King of Zhennan, wealth is always found in danger.He couldn't miss such a good opportunity.I originally thought that there was a tough battle to be fought, and I was even prepared in advance for the King of Zhennan to seriously rebel.

Who would have thought that things would go so smoothly?Is this Zhennan King a paper tiger?
His Highness the Crown Prince's people rushed into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. They not only searched inside and out several times, but also opened the basement. However, they did not find even a copper plate. They only searched the houses of the wives and concubines of the Prince of Zhennan and the wives and concubines of Prince Qi. Get some gold and silver jewelry.
