Queen's scheming

Chapter 450 Han Qi ([-])

"Third brother! What can we do?" The seventh prince followed in front of the third prince at a loss, rubbing his palms and said, "How could the Chuyue Kingdom do such a thing, and use sand instead of salt? This is really deceiving people. !"

The third prince said helplessly: "I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about this matter. After all, you inspected the goods in front of others. Now that you have worked hard, if you say that there is a problem with the goods, others can excuse that you will do it later." hands and feet!"

"But they are the ones who sent the sand here! Can't we reason with them?" The Seventh Prince looked ignorant, and wanted to confront the people of Chuyue Kingdom in a bookish manner!
The third prince sneered from the bottom of his heart, his younger brother is really naive, what can you do if you go to confront him at this time, if he refuses to admit it, what else can you do?

"Theory? Even if you go to the theory, so what? They just insisted that there is no problem with the goods. You checked it yourself at the time. What can you say? This time, you can only suffer from being dumb!" The third prince patted On the shoulder of the Seventh Prince, he said in a low voice: "Hey, I didn't protect you well this time. I thought it was just a small matter, but I didn't expect something to go wrong!"

The seventh prince was so contemptuous in his heart that the third prince clearly rushed to say that something was wrong on the day of the inspection. In this way, if he inspected the goods by himself, if there was a problem, he had to take care of it himself, and he had nothing to do with the third prince. nothing!
The Seventh Prince naturally understood that there might not be any problems with the goods that day, or in other words, there might not be any problems at all when the goods were inspected that day, but it was just the fault of the Third Prince for not carefully inspecting the goods by the Third Prince!Maybe those goods were dropped by the third prince when they were in the warehouse, so that there would be inconsistencies in the accounts!

"Third brother, don't say that. It's all my fault. I didn't check carefully, so I fell for their tricks. However, this is the first time I have dealt with common affairs. How should I deal with such a thing?" the seventh prince said. She timidly glanced at the third prince, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, and asked, "Should I have to tell my father?"

The third prince sneered from the bottom of his heart, what is wrong with this, how could it be possible for the seventh prince to be defeated so quickly?At this time, if the old Khan made a fuss, the old Khan would definitely blame himself for not taking good care of the seventh prince, deliberately causing the seventh prince to make a mistake, so that he could be sent out. The third prince is not stupid enough to touch Lao Ke at this time. Sweaty moldy head!

The third prince sighed, pretending to be regretful, and said: "It's the first time you handle common affairs, if you let your father know, you will lose tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go, I'm afraid your father won't let you handle common affairs in the future! "

The seventh prince nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement with the third prince's statement, and looked at him eagerly, as if letting him point out!
The third prince thought for a long time before saying: "Why don't you just pretend that this incident never happened, and use your own private money to make up for the shortfall this time, so as to avoid getting a bad reputation with the emperor. If the courtiers know about this, they may have some opinions on you!"

The Seventh Prince repeatedly said yes, there was no room for refutation, and said in harmony: "Then I'll go back to the palace to raise money, but this amount is really huge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make up for it!"

The third prince sighed and said: "I am also responsible for this matter, how about this, this time, I will help you pay half, and you will pay the half yourself!"

The seventh prince said in a muffled voice: "Thank you, third brother!" He clenched his fists tightly under his hands. The third prince even knew how much money he had in his hand, half of it was four to five thousand taels. Silver, that's all I can sell now!It seems that I and Gu Yimeng are surrounded by the third prince, so I still have to be very careful in what I do in the future!
The seventh prince quickly brought his spare money to the residence of the third prince. Because the seventh prince was in poor health, he had been living in the palace with the old Khan and the princess, but the eldest prince and the third prince had moved in early. After leaving the palace, the Seventh Prince would not be suspected of going in and out of the Third Prince's mansion now, and would only tell the palace that he came to seek advice on the common affairs of the palace!

Seeing that the seventh prince moved so fast, the third prince felt a little puzzled. His own people said that all the silver taels that the seventh prince could use was only 5000 taels, which was equivalent to all of the seventh prince's property, but he could take it so quickly. Come out, does it mean that Lao Qi still has the silver taels secretly given to him by Lao Khan?

The third prince tentatively said: "I didn't expect you to be so generous. Even if I have to give out so much money, I feel a little distressed. Looking at you, it seems that you don't take this money seriously at all!"

The Seventh Prince lowered his head and said dejectedly: "To tell you the truth, Third Brother, this is already all the cash in my hands. Now I only have a few dozen taels of silver with the Seventh Prince and Concubine. I am afraid that it is not enough to reward the palace. I still don't know how to live my life, but fortunately Brother Yong is not by my side, otherwise I don't know if I can support Brother Yong!"

Only then did the third prince feel relieved, and with the appearance of a big brother, he comforted him: "Don't take it to heart, you will take care of your general affairs in the future, and with the monthly allowance given to you by your father, you will always have a good time OK!"

The Seventh Prince glanced listlessly at the Third Prince, as if he didn't quite believe what he said, glanced at the decorations in the Third Prince's study room, the big vases in Ru Kiln, the glazed ornaments, all of which were extraordinary, and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it, Third Brother, If it happens again, I'm afraid I will take the reward from the palace and go out of the palace to sell it!"

The third prince held the emerald jade snuff bottle in his hand, and felt that this old seventh was really worthless. It was simply whimsical for the old Khan to let him inherit the throne, but he still wanted to let the old Khan realize that he had chosen What a person is!

Thinking of this, the third prince patted the seventh prince on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, don't be discouraged, I have encountered such a thing before, but it's just a stumble to gain wisdom, and I won't do it again in the future , That's it!"

The Seventh Prince seemed to regain his spirits all of a sudden, and said in surprise: "The third brother has also met, so now you..."

The seventh prince glanced at the decorations of the third prince. If the third prince had also encountered such a thing, how could he still have such a precious decoration? The place where the study is for meeting guests is already of extraordinary value, not to mention the inner hall and The bedroom is up!

The third prince said mysteriously: "I thought of a way to fill in the shortfall at the beginning. Otherwise, how could I achieve this level? It's all because of my luck back then!"

The seventh prince immediately became interested, and approached the third prince and asked, "I don't know what kind of luck the third brother encountered back then? Can you teach me too?"

"Don't, don't, don't! This is really not a good idea. If you let my father know that I will lead you astray, my father will definitely not let me go. Don't inquire about it. I was desperate at the beginning, so I chose that way." One way, if I hadn't been in the red twice, this mansion was really struggling, and I borrowed money every day to survive, I wouldn't have used that method!" The third prince looked like he couldn't bear to look back on the past, It seemed that he wanted the Seventh Prince to dispel this idea.

But then he added: "However, if I hadn't chosen that method at the beginning, I wouldn't be able to live such a prosperous life now. Just relying on the rules given by the palace, I am afraid that I would not even have my own prince. The concubine can't even support her!"

The seventh prince looked like he was being hanged again. The seventh prince was indeed a little curious. The third prince would be involved in the salt affairs. He guessed it early in the morning. He pretended not to know anything and fell into their trap. , He offered the money he could use with both hands, but he didn't expect that the third prince had a plan waiting for him!
"Why don't you listen to what the third brother said, so that I can figure it out in my heart. I am not a child anymore. I understand what I want to do!" The seventh prince induced the third prince to continue, Although he knew that even if he didn't join in, the third prince would continue to talk!
Sure enough, the third prince looked really helpless, so he opened his mouth and said, "You should know where the money comes in the fastest, right?"

The Seventh Prince went through it quickly in his mind. Han Qi saw the shady property, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the third brother borrowed usury at the beginning?"

The third prince shook his head and said with a smile: "We are princes, if we let others know that we have borrowed usury, what face do we have to stay in the palace?"

"That's it?" The Seventh Prince asked.

The third prince bowed his head and said: "I got someone to take the money to gamble! That thing comes in very fast!"

The Seventh Prince sneered in his heart, sure enough, the Third Prince had no good intentions, but this is good, it can quickly arouse Dali's idea, he thought it would take half a year to plan, now it seems that at most three It's only a month!
The Seventh Prince pretended to be somewhat displeased, bowed his head and said: "If others know, it's not good for us as princes to gamble!"

The third prince lightly tapped the seventh prince on the head, and said as if he had a good relationship with him: "Didn't I just say that? Letting others go to the casino has nothing to do with me! I only paid the capital, In just a few days, all the money has been earned back!"

"How many days?" The seventh prince looked eager to try, and his eyes were a little bright when he looked at the third prince.

"Isn't it just a few days' work, otherwise I have lost so much. If my father finds out, how can I still handle the general affairs here safely? Of course, the money will be returned faster and faster!" The third prince nodded by the way. Point, if the old Khan finds out the fate of the seventh prince, the seventh prince lives in the palace, and he will soon be known by the old Khan. His life is stretched!

The seventh prince followed the third prince's wishes and compromised, and soon the news was sent back to Prince Cheng's mansion!
