Uncle, this palace is not going to sleep tonight

Chapter 270

As soon as the words were spoken, the 16 kneeling people all looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes - if you don't confess, you will die without a doubt, if you want to save your life, you must confess.

"Master, the officials are willing to speak!" One of them seized the right to speak and said hastily: "The Jiangnan area has ordered 300 million dans of grain to be paid by His Majesty, but the officials have been threatened to give away one fifth of the grain. Withhold two grams and give it to him, and he will return it to the little official after he sells it off!"

"Xiangye, Xiangye, I'm willing to talk!" Another person hurriedly said: "Xiaguan has a little friendship with Lan Shiji, the head of the Lan clan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. The grain shipped to the northwest was discounted by [-]% and sold to Lan Shiji!"

"Also! Prime Minister, the lower official also knows!" A person next to him tremblingly said: "Lan Shiji and him handed over the money and food on the territory of the lower official. Drive away with the clouds!"

Liu Ruling frowned, and said sharply, "Who is this person you are talking about!"

"He..." The sixteen people looked at each other for a while, and finally gritted their teeth, "He is—" "Prince Ning is here!"

The eunuch's singing interrupted the unspoken words, and outside the Taiji Hall, Chu Zili, who was dressed in a dark purple royal robe, walked into the hall.The emperor was not there, except for Liu Ruling, who was in charge of the country, everyone saluted together, "I have seen the prince, and I will be a thousand years old."

"Get up, Tai Chi Hall, this king can't bear the courtesy of your lords." Chu Zili walked forward with a smile, stood between the two rows of civil and military officials, raised his head and chest, looked at Liu Ruling , "Master Xiang is very majestic today."

When Liu Ruling saw that it was him who had come, he immediately understood... Today's interrogation might come in vain.Even though he thought so, he had to bow his hands respectfully and said: "The old minister has seen Prince Ning, but I don't know what the prince is talking about here?"

"Haha, the prime minister asked a good question! Since the emperor's uncle rewarded me, I seldom go out and concentrate on recuperating at home. I thought I could spend my life in the imperial capital this time, but who knew that the emperor secretly went out of the palace I went to the people... Poor this king is not a person who can enjoy life by nature. No, such a big incident happened in Jiangnan, and the emperor's uncle is not here. Only this king in the royal family has the title of prince, so I have to shoulder the responsibility Come." Chu Zili said with emotion, and then said: "What does Xiangye think, this king is qualified to participate in this matter?"

"Of course, my lord is a prince. His Majesty is not here now. It would be best if my lord can take charge of the overall situation." Liu Ruling was smiling, but an alarm bell was ringing in his heart.

His Majesty has calculated everything, and it is considered that there is another prince, Chu Zili... The imperial decree in his hand stated that no official should have any objection to his handling, but the imperial decree does not restrict the royal family... Right now This is riding a tiger, and only one Chu Zili is enough to destroy the whole chess game.If he guessed correctly, the person who smuggled the food was probably Murong Duan's family, and Chu Zili had some shady agreement with Murong Duan, so he came here today to disturb his judgment.
