Chapter 485

Jun Lin looks at Xiao shunzi in surprise and takes the letter in his hand.

"Ye Hongshuang is in our hands. If we don't want her mother and son to die, we will take 50000 taels of silver and go to Mazu temple in the suburbs of Beijing. If we put the silver in Mazu temple, ye Hongshuang's mother and son will naturally return to the prince's residence safely."

In the heart of a short written ye Hongshuang has been said to have been kidnapped, see here, Jun Lin can not help but feel relieved.

There is no other reason. If they are kidnapped, the other party just wants to ask for money. Generally, if they pay enough money, they will not do anything to the kidnappers. After all, they are for money.

It's better than being bound by some secret enemy. It's really dangerous.

Nevertheless, Junlin still felt that something was wrong. It was reasonable that ordinary robbers could not know that ye Hongshuang was pregnant.

Now ye Hongshuang's abdomen has no sign of swelling, so how do they know?

Think of here, Jun Lin did not mind tight Cu Chengchuan, a pair of narrow Phoenix eyes full of suspicious color.

However, apart from this clue, he never heard of Ye Hongshuang.

No matter who the other party is, he has to go with silver, even if there is only a trace of hope, Junlin has to try.

"Little shunzi, can you see who the messenger is?"

Little shunzi pondered for a moment, and shook his head: "if you go back to your highness, the slave didn't see the appearance of the man. He took the veil, handed the letter to the slave and left like that."

Jun Lin took a deep breath. He had already guessed that this man would disguise himself, so he was not surprised.

"And how is he dressed? Is it a rich man or a poor man? Do you have jewelry or waist tags? "

Little shunzi frowned slightly: "this man is not a rich man. His clothes are also ragged. When he is close to a slave, he can even smell a stench from his body."

Hearing this, Junlin was more sure that there was something strange about it. It was obvious that the other party was just looking for a beggar on the street to deliver the letter.

Although the country was rich and the people were strong, there were still many lazy people who didn't want to make progress.

"When the palace knows, it will prepare 50000 taels of silver immediately. Even if it empties the Treasury of the prince's mansion, it will certainly make up 50000 taels."

Xiaoshunzi was stunned when he heard the words. He instinctively realized that the contents of the letter were very important. It's not hard to guess why ye Hongshuang has not returned.

"Yes, I'll do it now."

Jun Lin frowned, sighed and said to himself, "Alas! Hongshuang, you must hold on. Our palace will save you at all costs. "

In less than half an hour, Xiao shunzi had taken out all the Bank of the prince's mansion and put it in several big boxes.

Jun Linming ordered people to move these factors to the carriage. When he was about to leave, he felt that it was not right.

He slowly came to Xiao shunzi, whispered something in his ear, and then returned to the carriage again, galloping to Mazu temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Then, xiaoshunzi also took a few big boxes and left the prince's mansion behind Junlin.

……

In the imperial study, the emperor sat on the Dragon chair and looked at the memorial in his hand.

All of a sudden, Wang Dequan came in in a hurry and bowed himself in front of the Emperor: "long live, Mr. Wang of the household department is asking for a meeting outside the door. It seems that he has something urgent to report."

The emperor did not lift his head, still looking at the memorial, carelessly said: "let him in."

Wang Dequan got the order and bowed back. Soon, Lord Wang came in. Without saying anything, he knelt down on his knees and cried out: "I should die for all my sins, I should die for all my sins."

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Wang. His eyes were full of doubts. He couldn't help frowning: "what's so flustered?"

Seeing the emperor looking at him, Mr. Wang, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, felt a shock all over his body, and his forehead was dripping with sweat: "I should die for my sins. I didn't take good care of the Ministry of household affairs. I just found out that the Ministry of household had been stolen, and the number was huge. All these are my dereliction of duty, Minister..."

Before Mr. Wang finished speaking, the emperor stood up abruptly, looked at him with an unbelievable face and yelled, "what did you say? How could the account department be stolen? Who is so bold? "

Mr. Wang's nose was runny and his head was lowered with tears. He didn't dare to look at the emperor at the moment: "I don't know. I just found out this, so I came to the palace and told the emperor. Now, I don't know what to do. Even if I lost my life, it's not enough."

The emperor gradually calmed down. Although 50000 Liang was nothing to the great power Dynasty, it was too much for the common people.

The year before last, when there was a flood of 30000 Liang, one party could have a mouthful of porridge every day. What's more, it was the money of the household. Stealing the money here was tantamount to stealing the money of the Dali Dynasty. We must find out the truth and punish it severely.

"Wang Dequan, then general xuansong will come to the audience, and all the officials will be present."

Wang Dequan got the order and immediately went to do it. Fifty thousand taels of silver was stolen. It's no small matter.

Seeing what the emperor said, Mr. Wang was gradually relieved.

The emperor's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of disgust when he looked at Mr. Wang: "you get up first. As the Secretary of the Ministry of household, what is your crying like? This matter will be investigated by general song, but don't be happy too soon. I always have a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. After this matter is found out, I'll settle accounts with you and go away."

Lord Wang repeatedly kowtowed: "thank you for not killing me. I should die for all my sins, but I want to recover the 50000 taels of silver. Even if I die, I will be able to close my eyes."

With that, Mr. Wang got up and withdrew from the imperial study. But when he left, his timidity was swept away. Instead, he had a grim smile on his face.

Soon, many adults, including general song, gathered in the imperial study. The emperor explained the purpose of summoning them here, and they expressed surprise.

What kind of person actually dares to steal money from a household, and it's 50000 taels.

Not to mention that the household department is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to it. It is impossible to transport the 50000 taels of silver out of the household department.

It's impossible for such a big move to be discovered by Lord Wang after the silver disappeared.

The emperor locked his brow, looked around at all the adults whispering, and said slowly: "this is the case. What can I do to find this man? Let's hear it. "

You look at me, I look at you. Finally, a minister stepped forward, bowed his fist and said, "emperor, I think this is not what ordinary people say. I must have the identity of easily entering and leaving the household department. If it is an ordinary thief, there is no way to sneak into the household department quietly."
