"I should have strangled you to death!"
Zhang Liang shuddered at the look in his father's eyes and wanted to retreat, but he was pinned down by the guards and couldn't move.
Xiao Ruoyi watched the fun with a happy look on her face, "Oh, the father and son are at odds with each other!"
Commander Jin looked at Minister Zhang and his son with a sneer. Even if they wanted to turn against each other, it was too late. With so much gold, Minister Zhang would inevitably be confiscated and executed.
Xiao Ruoyi added fuel to the fire, looking at Minister Zhang with sympathy, "Tsk tsk tsk, ah, to be honest, if your son hadn't bullied this princess, maybe your affairs wouldn't have been exposed yet!"
Commander Jin: "..." Little Princess, please stop talking. If you continue, I'm afraid someone will kill your son!
But how could Xiao Ruoyi fulfill Commander Jin’s wish?
Xiao Ruoyi continued to laugh and add fuel to the fire, stirring up hatred, "Hey, kid, thank you! You are such a good son, sacrificing your own family for the greater good! You have made a great contribution to the treasury of our Donglin Kingdom! This princess will express her gratitude to my father, so that you can die faster and not suffer so much!"
Commander Jin secretly cried out that something was wrong and quickly ordered, "Come here, arrest Minister Zhang!"
Fortunately, Commander Jin reacted in time, and before Minister Zhang could take a step forward, the Imperial Guards had already grabbed Minister Zhang and pinned him to the ground, making him unable to move.
...
...
Even though he knew that Xiao Ruoyi was deliberately trying to sow discord, Minister Zhang still jumped down. There was no reason not to be fooled. He was really angry.
Minister Zhang glared fiercely, gritting his teeth, "Zhang Liang! You are such a good son to your father! Our Zhang family is going to be wiped out! You won't have a good ending either!"
Zhang Liang was trembling with fear. He looked at Xiao Ruoyi and the others, then at Minister Zhang who regarded him as an enemy.
At this moment, he no longer had the heart to blame Minister Zhang. He was already frightened to death by the situation before him.
His father has been arrested, how can his son have an easy life?
Not to mention Minister Zhang, Zhang Liang also regretted it so much. Why was he so mean? Why did he have to mess with the little princess when he could mess with anyone else?
"I-I-I...Dad, I...I...I didn't!"
Zhang Liang wanted to explain to his father, but Minister Zhang didn't want to hear any explanation and turned his head away without looking at him.
Commander Jin was too embarrassed to look at it and looked at Xiao Ruoyi. He was more curious about how much gold was there.
Xiao Ruoyi was also very curious and expectant, and waved her hand and ordered, "Tear down all the walls here!"
Now, even the Second Prince, who was lying on the roof, kept silent.
The second prince also wanted to know how much gold this Minister of Revenue had hidden to have the ability and money to build this golden wall.
In fact, he wanted to be the coolie himself and tear down the wall, but no! He followed secretly, and his identity was not suitable! He was worried!
"yes!"
The Imperial Guards now obeyed Xiao Ruoyi's orders directly unless Commander Lian Jin gave any orders.
There were stars in everyone's eyes as if there were gold bricks floating in front of them. They were rubbing their hands, eager to try, and they had been impatient for a long time.
Originally, even if Xiao Ruoyi did not give the order, Commander Jin was planning to demolish the entire Zhang Mansion.
Yes, it’s not this courtyard, but the plan is to demolish the entire Zhang Mansion. Who knows where the gold bricks will be found?
"Little Princess, how many gold bricks are here?"
Xiao Ruoyi pointed to the yard and said in a baby voice, "This is all me! This bad guy is so lucky, sleeping in the house. Yiyi wants it too! Yiyi wants to sleep here too!"
After saying that, Xiao Ruoyi couldn't help but sip her saliva, looking greedy.
Commander Jin only thought that Xiao Ruoyi in front of him looked extremely cute, and the greedy look in her eyes was just like him, except that she was not so soft and cute. When he showed it, it was simply an eye-sore.
"OK!"
Commander Jin ignored Xiao Ruoyi's last words, then waved his hand and ordered, "Send out a small team to control the entire Zhang family, and the rest of you hurry up!"
Finally, he shouted two words excitedly, "Tear it down!"
The guards were more excited than ever before, and responded with a loud, "Yes!"
This might be a golden house built entirely with gold bricks!
Throughout history, there has never been such a corrupt official who embezzled so much money!
Emperor Donglin knew that the Zhang family had a large amount of gold, so he sent almost half of his imperial guards over.
So, there were quite a few guards who demolished the house this time!
“Ping pong!”
The Guards were very excited as they unpacked the treasure; they had never seen so much gold before!
Even if they can't get it, just taking a look at it or touching it is good enough, and they can die with peace of mind!
Everyone here was busy smashing the wall with high morale. In the palace, Emperor Dong Lin was also furious.
Not long after Xiao Ruoyi left, the third prince came to the court to seek justice for his grandfather and mother.
When the third prince came to ask for an audience, Emperor Donglin was in the imperial study, handling government affairs while waiting for the results of the Dali Temple's interrogation of Duke Lu.
"What is the Third Brother doing here?"
Thinking of how Concubine Shu framed Concubine Liang and her daughter for her own status, she felt a little displeased with this child.
Wang Dehai, who was the first to return to Emperor Donglin to serve, lowered his head and said, "The Third Prince said that there is evidence to prove that Duke Lu did not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!"
Although the third prince just said that there was evidence, Wang Dehai did not tell Emperor Donglin. Anyway, he believed that Emperor Donglin had the final say on this matter.
Emperor Donglin stopped what he was doing and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously, "Does he have evidence?"
"Yes!"
When Emperor Donglin was plotting to frame Duke Lu, Wang Dehai was there, so he knew very well that Duke Lu was indeed framed.
However, now that the Third Prince actually said that there was evidence to prove Duke Lu's innocence, he was also very curious.
Emperor Donglin sneered, "Then let him in. I want to see what evidence he has to prove Duke Lu's innocence!"
Wang Dehai bowed and went out. I really don’t know where the third prince got the confidence from!
The third prince was invited in. As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground and cried, "Father, my grandfather and mother have been wronged. You must stand up for them!"
Emperor Donglin looked down at the Third Prince lying on the ground and said sarcastically, "Unjustly accused? There are letters and tokens of treason, and you actually said that your grandfather and mother were wrongly accused!"
The Third Prince immediately spoke out what he had heard, "These were all forged by Xiao Ruoyi!"
In order to give life to his mother and grandfather, the third prince gave it his all.
The eleven-year-old boy was very impulsive. Even though he had no real evidence, he came to Emperor Donglin just because he heard Xiao Ruoyi's voice, and he thought he had found evidence.
