Chapter 189 The Seventh Prince, the Private Vault is Gone

The eldest prince handed the banknote in his hand to Chu Yingrui.

"All of your doubts, father, are contained in this banknote."

Banknotes?

Chu Yingrui looked at the banknote from left to right, but didn't find anything wrong.

I couldn't help but wave my hands.

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me what's going on."

"yes."

The eldest prince bowed and walked to Chu Yingrui's side.

"Look, Father, to prevent counterfeiting, each of these banknotes has a watermark and even a number on it."

"And this banknote is the one that those who want to burn the Mother Temple use to buy kerosene."

"I exchanged the banknote for the note from the store and took it to the bank."

"Because this banknote looks very new, it is obvious that it has just been exchanged."

"And from the fact that these people suddenly traded a large amount of kerosene, it can be seen that the other party wanted to burn down the Ci Ma Temple. This decision was made very quickly, which means that there was not much time for preparation."

"So I quickly found out who had just exchanged the banknote based on the number on it."

"Now that we know who got the banknote first, it will be easy to find the real culprit behind it."

Having said that, the eldest prince stopped keeping the secret.

Just give the answer directly.

"The answer I got from the bank was this banknote. The person who exchanged this banknote was the brother-in-law of the steward of the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

"So this matter..."

The eldest prince sighed and looked at Chu Tianming.

"Seventh brother, you are confused."

Chu Yingrui looked straight at Chu Tianming.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

The cold sweat on Chu Tianming's body was already soaking the clothes on his back.

But he is still trying to make excuses.

"No, no no, it really wasn't me."

"Father, someone must be trying to frame me. Even if my housekeeper's brother-in-law took out the banknote, it doesn't mean that I bribed these people."

"It is very likely that someone took advantage of this mentality and deliberately bribed my housekeeper's brother-in-law to do this, just to frame me."

"Father, please judge for yourself!"

Chu Yingrui was almost speechless.

The truth is so obvious, yet this guy is still trying to make excuses.

The eldest prince also shook his head.

"Seventh brother, when I saw the results of the investigation, I actually wondered if I had wronged you."

"So I have ordered someone to capture your housekeeper's brother-in-law directly."

"He is not one of those assassins. With just a few inquiries, he told me the whole story."

“Even evidence was given.”

"When your steward asked his brother-in-law to do this, he naturally had to give him some benefits."

"And the benefit is... I will recommend him to you and from now on I will arrange for him to work in your caravan."

"Seventh brother, do you need me to investigate what this so-called caravan is?"

Chu Tianming was completely paralyzed and sat on the ground.

That caravan was naturally the one responsible for smuggling.

If we investigate this matter further it will only get worse.

"No."

"Brother, you are really amazing. Yes, I did this."

"I was just jealous that my third brother was loved by my father. He handed over the peace talks with Beiliang that were originally assigned to me to my third brother. I was very angry, so I wanted to start with the Ministry of Works that my third brother was in charge of."

"In fact, I regretted it yesterday, but once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Fortunately... fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Jing stopped this from happening."

"Father, please punish me."

Chu Tianming was also a bachelor so he admitted it directly.

However, the reason was deliberately attributed to family affection, and he only said that he did it because he was too jealous.

There was even a hint of resentment towards Chu Yingrui for being partial to the Third Prince.

After listening to Chu Tianming's words, Chu Yingrui was so angry that he laughed.

It turns out that it is not your own child. Even if you lose, you still have to find excuses by all means. Can't you just admit it openly?

You don’t even have the courage to admit failure, and yet you still want to seize power?

I'm afraid that even if he really succeeds in usurping the throne one day, he will be overthrown again in no time.

"I won't say much to you. Since you want to punish me, I will punish you severely."

"Someone, take the Seventh Prince out first and give him fifty lashes."

"Besides, don't you have money to hire people, Lao Qi? Don't you also want to burn the Ci Ma Temple in Zhen? Since you have so much money, just take it all out."

"Stop all supplies to the Seventh Prince, and confiscate his private vault."

"Third brother, I'll leave this matter to you."

The third prince immediately nodded happily in response.

"Yes, Father. I obey your command!"

Confiscating property, that's what he likes.

He was almost forced to commit suicide by the seventh brother to thank the world.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Jing stopped the situation from developing in time, and my eldest brother found out the truth of the matter.

Otherwise, he would be charged with burning down the Cimu Temple, sowing discord between his father and the Empress Dowager, and framing his brother.

Even if some people are not sanctioned, they will probably be too embarrassed to face people in the future.

Lao Qi’s move was really cruel.

So he also had to fight back fiercely and move all the private vaults in the Seventh Master's mansion cleanly.

Jiang Yueyao and Chu Jiayi, who were hiding outside the door, also heard the conversation inside.

[So cool, so cool]

[The crazy critics are finally punished]

[Don’t say that the eldest prince has the air of a great official]

[He is such a great judge of cases! ]

[Speaking of which, the Fifth Prince is currently working as the county magistrate in Heian County and seems to be in charge of judging cases every day.]

[Could it be that the handsome old man inherited his genes from the detective? ]

[Wait, the handsome old man asked the third prince to be in charge of confiscating the private vault of the crazy guy.]

[Doesn't that mean that all the crazy people's property will eventually be collected by the handsome guy? ]

[So much small change was taken away by the handsome old man. This fairy got nothing. I feel such a pity.]

[How about letting me go first? ]

Jiang Yueyao was ready to make some moves.

However……

A certain fairy didn't know that his thoughts had already been heard by several people in the room.

Chu Yingrui waited for a moment and then looked up at the window next to him.

Sure enough, I saw two puppy heads peeking out from the window paper.

He had heard before that the fairy had plundered the private property of the Minister of Revenue, the small private treasury of King Qian, and the treasures of the former king in Xiaoniu Mountain.

He has been eager for it for a long time and is ready to make a move, okay?

He finally has a chance to collect some gold and silver treasures from a crazy guy, but someone else wants to snatch it from him?

"Old Third, why are you still here?"

"Hurry up and copy it for me!"

"Remember, copy everything thoroughly, leaving nothing behind."

At the same time, Chu Yingrui looked at Chu Wuxun who was standing aside.

"Wu Xian, it's time for you to go pick up the princess. Isn't it time for you to go to class?"

"Since the Jiang sisters have such a good relationship with the princess, let them stay in the palace for a few more days instead of leaving."

Don't ever leave the palace to snatch my gold, silver and treasures.
