Chapter 515: The Cunning Little Prince (Update 2)

The little prince’s disguise was very successful. After all, he had someone behind him.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. The person behind him that the little prince was referring to was not his unreliable father, but the third prince. Before he worked in the Dali Temple, he worked in the Ministry of Justice. It was easy for him to get a few identities of officials in the Ministry of Justice.

The little prince really didn’t expect that there would be so many termites in Jiangnan!

Moreover, the officials here are rotten to the core.

Robbing women and bullying the people are all minor offenses. The Jiangnan Salt Inspector who was said to have been assassinated at home was not dead at all. He just found a scapegoat.

Everything he did was very simple. He just wanted to escape from the shell.

The salt depot was emptied, and it goes without saying that it must be related to the salt inspector who faked his death.

Although the young prince wanted to escape the oppression of his father and did not want to be forced to review memorials in the Wenhua Palace, he took the errand on his own initiative and left the capital overnight.

However, he really wanted to solve the problem, so he came to Jiangnan.

Therefore, as soon as this matter was settled, he had just raided the mansions of two officials and the seized finances, and seeing that there were so many officials in Jiangnan, this must be a scare!

The eldest prince led many elite men to rush day and night, and when they arrived at the agreed place, they saw his troublesome younger brother sitting in a small farmyard, rubbing a fire, and roasting a leg of lamb.

The lamb leg was sizzling with oil while roasting, and then it was brushed with a layer of honey and sprinkled with some barbecue seasonings. The aroma wafted in the air and was extremely tempting.

There was also a long table next to the barbecue pile, on which were placed fresh fruits and drinks. Look at the smooth and gradually rounded face of the bear brother.

Well, I guess he must have had a very good time these days.

The eldest prince looked at himself, who was traveling day and night and was covered in dust, and thought about his worries along the way.

Well, my hands are a little itchy, and I want to beat my brother to vent my anger.

Then, the eldest prince saw the little prince, who was smiling brightly, cut the freshly roasted lamb and brought it to him with both hands, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. This is the lamb leg that I roasted for half an hour. It tastes so good."

What else could the eldest prince say?

They are all brothers, and it is better to have nothing than to have something.

The eldest prince brought a large number of elite soldiers who thought that this would be a tough battle. The eldest prince led the army personally, so it must be no small matter.

Who knew that their use was actually small matters such as guarding and transporting property.

There is no need for such elite soldiers!

It cannot be said that all of them are such trivial matters. At least there are also protection of witnesses and escorting of criminal officials.

As for protecting the prince?

Haha, a job that even the eldest prince can't do, do they need these soldiers?

Yes, the eldest prince also came here with the idea of ​​protecting his little brother, but after arriving in Jiangnan, he couldn't see the shadow of his little brother at all.

This little brother is very busy, and he has too many operations.

First, the residences of two high-ranking officials were raided, and then the word spread that if they wanted to survive, they would have to pay enough chips.

The eldest prince saw his younger brother act like a corrupt official, smiling at the boxes of real gold and silver in front of him, and he didn't know what to say.

"Father has also spent a lot of money on you, and you have opened so many shops that make a lot of money every day. Is it worth it for you to spend so little money?"

Lu Zexu patted the wooden box containing the silver, "If all this silver is sent to your camp outside the capital as military pay, will you be happy?"

Lu Ze'an laughed when he thought of this.

"It's really worth being happy about."

The little prince was very generous, "Then give it to Big Brother Yu. The brothers have been working day and night, and it's very hard. An extra military pay can also provide more meals for the soldiers in the army."

Lu Ze'an didn't understand again, "What on earth are you thinking? Do you really want to take the silver and let these people go?"

The little prince snapped the box, then jumped directly onto the box and sat down. He leaned back, crossed his legs, and said slowly, "It was the officials of the Ministry of Justice who agreed to let them go. What does it have to do with me, the prince?"

The eldest prince: "..."

Sure enough, it had to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Then in the next few days, the eldest prince witnessed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's various actions.

He first greedily demanded bribes from these corrupt officials. After getting a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, these officials thought they had brought down the official from the Ministry of Justice from the capital, and regarded the little prince as one of them. Putting

the two officials in jail before was just to find two people to get the job done. The strategy of abandoning the car and guarding the marshal was too simple. As long as you think about it a little, you can figure it out.

After the little prince joined the group of corrupt officials in Jiangnan, he really lived a life of debauchery. Not only did he want gold, silver and treasures, but he also wanted all kinds of skilled craftsmen.

In his words, he wanted to build a big house in Jiangnan. He couldn't make do with it or make do with it. He had to use the best in every place.

Anyway, it was extravagant and lustful.

This is exactly what these officials in Jiangnan wanted to see. Don't they just want money?

They have plenty of it.

As for various craftsmen, these officials are even more abundant.

As long as this official can be shut up and prevented from returning to Beijing to expose the affairs of this stall in Jiangnan, then everything will be worth it.

The eldest prince saw that his bear brother went in and out of the enemy camp as if he was going back to his own home, and fooled these corrupt officials.

He even felt a little sympathetic to these officials in Jiangnan.

"How long are you going to play in Jiangnan? You have been out for more than a month, and the emperor is already urging you."

Upon hearing this, the little prince took out a booklet and handed it to the eldest prince, "Since the emperor is so worried, it is better to solve this as soon as possible. These are all the officials who participated in the private sale of salt that I have found in recent days. The next thing is left to you."

Before the eldest prince could object, the little prince had already run away.

What can the eldest prince do?

He can only continue to help his little brother clean up the mess.

The eldest prince has always been ruthless. When he takes action, he really cuts off the Gordian knot. Those who deserve to be imprisoned will be imprisoned, those who deserve to be confiscated will be confiscated, and of course, those whose property should be confiscated will also be confiscated.

The eldest prince thought that his bear brother had left him a list of detailed rules for confiscating property before he left, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It was a real-life version of leaving nothing behind. Even the precious brocade carp in the lotus pond in the garden had to be picked up, and the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard had to be dug out. It was really that even locusts passing through could not be so clean!

He worked hard in Jiangnan, and the little prince who caused so much trouble, he has returned to the capital with all kinds of craftsmen, precious tea leaves, and rare silks that he had looted in Jiangnan.

The first thing Lu Zexu did when he returned to Beijing was to go to the palace to meet the emperor.

Lu Chengtian immediately forgot the speechlessness he felt every time he received news from the secret guards. He only thought that the little prince had been away from home for two months, and the first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to go to the palace to see him, which must be because he was worried about him.

Who would have known that the first sentence the little prince said when he saw Lu Chengtian was, "Father, I have been away from Beijing for several months. I wonder if there is any good news from the harem?"

Lu Chengtian's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt his hands itching.
